Hiiiii

IM TRYING MY BEST (This is @squid-ink-on-toast ‘s splatoon roleplay blog bc the obsession is real)

[argo-for-naught]

Uhm… hi! I’m Argo (he/they) and I’m one of the recovering sanitized. Due to sanitization, and the effects it’s had on me I have been disabled in both my memory and my body, and I am using my blog to give others a peek into what it’s like with sanitization treatments and also see if I can get more info on who I used to be.

From what I know from memcakes I used to be a salmonid negotiator back when the octarian army was together. I still have a decent amount of memory about them, even more than myself lol.

[@argo-for-naught] Eyo just wanna thank you for your work! As an [ex] salmonid consultant for the Octarian Army I wanna display how disgusted I’ve been with this nation’s treatment of salmonids! Keep up the good fight!

Thank you!! I'm doing all that I can to make sure that things turn out alright in the end. I appreciate the support so shucking much :>

"OWN-A-SALMONID" BILL PROTESTS ON NOVEMBER 2ND

PLEASE READ!!!

As many of you might've known, a week or so ago, I dug up a bill trying to be passed by the Inkopolis and Splatsville governments below our noses. This bill wasn't meant to make news, but due to me digging it up, it's become a major headline. They tried to pass it under the radar, but that's out of question now that the public knows about it.

What's this bill about?

This bill, H.R.77, known in the government as the "Creature Right" Bill, but better recognized as the "Own-A-Salmonid" Bill by the larger public due to nicknames by reporters, states that "creatures unrecognized by the state as citizens will need permission by citizens to exist in public places".

In better terms, they're trying to make it so that 'unrecognized creatures in the cities (mostly Salmonids, because the main people targeted are Salmonids) don't get to have the full rights as full citizens like Inklings'. Basically this bill strips away the rights of Salmonids and other fish who aren't recognized by everyone as 'people'. This bill is absolutely rooted in the speciesism and Inkling superiority.

Surprisingly, this bill is NOT funded by Grizzco as I've discovered, but rather by an outside group (further research is needed)

We've identified that if we let this bill pass, then species who are recognized as citizens (like Octolings) might be next. It's also really bad for Salmonids living in this area. We've fought so damn hard to gain rights and respects for Salmonids both in the cities and in their own waters, and this bill will set us back YEARS.

Protest on November 2nd

November 2nd, there will be two rallies: One outside the Inkopolis government building, and one outside the Splatsville government building. I will be attending and leading the Splatsville protest while Shallow will be attending and leading the Inkopolis protest (I wanted to go to Inkopolis since Inkopolis is less friendly to Salmonids than Splatsville, but Shallow insisted that she be the one to go there to show the people there that 'she's not afraid'. Love you Mom!!).

We will NOT be violent, and we will NOT set any buildings on fire. However, feel free to bring signs and noise makers along with you. Let's not bring weapons (ink or otherwise) either, okay?

We need to show the Inkopolis and Splatsville governments that we are not afraid to stand up for our fellow creatures in hand no matter who or what they are. See you November 2nd!!

Honestly as both an aro/ace and a sanitized I sometimes feel a little insecure because I have seen people portray sanatized as unable to feel love and it feels like I have to make up for it somehow (ToT) which sucks bc I’m sure I was like this before sanitization but you can never be 100% sure

all goofing aside,,, i genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Callie Aori Cuttlefish as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Marina and Pearl and Shiver and Frye are right there. Harmony and Jessika and Tao Blu if you're willing to branch into other genres a little. Dedf1sh for a nonbinary take on liking girls. like... what are we doing here,,, like i'm not even saying you can't enjoy callie or squid sisters or anything like that but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.

[rice-likes-squids]

actually ill post this here too cuz ive been unintentionally starving tumblr of content

[argo-for-naught]

My body yearns to be cracked like a glowstickkkkk owwww

[purplesaltsalmon]

anyways HI!! I’m Violet-Finned First Spawn of the Shiozake Line, but most inkfish just call me Violet. I’m a Salmonid snatcher, and I’m opening a scrap + antique shop in splatsville! my specialty is sunken ancient human memorabilia that other inkfish scavengers probably won’t be able to recover underwater. find me at the corner of Sailfin Roe and Kelpstand Street!

I also love to discuss salmonid culture and traditions with surface dwellers. hit me up if you have questions!

[purplesaltsalmon]

what’s going on?? I’m a salmonid in the middle of moving onto dry land for my scavenging business and suddenly people are telling me it’s not safe for salmos to be out n about?? is something happening??

[argo-for-naught]

I’m a bit pissed today but it is appalling as someone who literally only has scraps of memory how bad inkfish on the surface treat Salmonids and how little they know about them. Like I have a whole salmonid line of memcakes and used to be in charge of the transport of power eggs back when I was part of the army.

So I gotta ask,

Would you like me, Argo, to explain the culture to you + why I find Grizzco appalling? (Ooc: in character explanation, of canon, headcanons and made up stuff on salmonid language)

Yes

No

Shells yeah!

Alright so disclaimer, some of this might be incorrect, and while I’m a ex salmonid translator I am also sanitized and that splatted my memory so sorry for inaccuracies.

However, what is important for inkfish to know is that Salmonid’s are not less intelligent than us, we’re just culturally and biologically different. Don’t be zoomorphobic alright?

Firstly a lot of inkfish only see salmonids when they’re spawning, which is when they are going to freshwater areas to be able to breed and raise young. This has given them the title of barbaric when this is not true and in the off season they’re pretty chill.

Now the reason they get so aggressive during the runs is because it’s important culturally, biologically and spiritually for them to seek out fights. As salmonids grow they need to face a level of challenge to develop into boss salmonids which helps them protect eggs while also upping attractiveness. This need can often cause under stimulation in spawning salmonids which can cause them to be aggressive. However they view rushing into battle to protect their spawn to be spiritual fulfilling, and see themselves as playing their part in the circle of life. Due to this they do not fear death and instead wish to have all their parts used, especially via consumption. Which, yeah all the food imagery in salmonid controlled areas is due to this belief.

Now due to all this I personally don’t have a problem with Grizzco fighting them. They need opposition to grow, and if you get power eggs and use them as energy, well at least you’re using all their parts. And we’ve had trade agreements in the past for power eggs when the Octo army was together.

However when it’s golden eggs is when I feel angry. Because while power eggs are unfertilized golden eggs are fertilized, and it is unethical to steal someone’s fertilized eggs without consent, and this causes harm to the environment due to krill overpopulation due to a lack of salmonids. I also do think that the lack of salmonids and the uptick in big runs (which should be once every 70 years) are unrelated. However I got no proof :/.

[purplesaltsalmon]

yeah as a salmo myself you basically hit all the big points! runs are suuuuper important, and even tho I personally don’t participate (I’m a snatcher, not a chum or cohock) I do still get the intense instinctive agressiveness when I feel like my territory or spawn are being threatened.

also, totally on point about the view of death! it isn’t scary, it’s just another way to provide for our families. if another salmonid (or inkfish) is strong enough to defeat one of us, then they deserve to consume us so they can protect their own better. personally, I hope to be salt-preserved or maybe breaded.

[argo-for-naught]

Honestly my personal thoughts on the belief is that if I die I wanna be eaten raw like sashimi (I personally find it to be delicious). Though honestly I wouldn’t recommend it due to sanitization. Wouldn’t want anyone getting sick or somehow sanitized due to some sort of cross contamination (‘=o=)
