Since I'm here then I'll do this right. Intro post GO!

Hey hey! I got pulled onto this app by a friend while I wasn't looking, but since I'm already here I might as well commit. No clue how to use Chumblr but oh well.

I'm Melody, an Octoling who escaped the Deep-Sea Metro and lives in Inkopolis now!

Other things about me:

I make some music as a vocalist and strings player as Coral Riffs!

I adore dualies of all kinds except gloogas and will run them to the ends of the inkadia! I main Enperry and Squelcher dualies! (I also occasionally dabble in other weapons too tho!)

She/They or They/She depending on the day, and They/Them is always cool!

Feel free to ask any questions! I'll happily answer any that I see sent over!

Might update this in the future but that's about it!

Also take a look at my friends who dragged me onto got me into Chumblr! Find SkyeFyre @skyefyre and Tangerine from Spr@yCanz over @disfishizdead!

Those thoughts and feelings seem to keep getting louder.

I’m not sure what they are, but after sharing the end of the splatfest with Skye, I can’t stop feeling flustered. Ever since sitting next to them during the closing fireworks my legs have felt weak and I just turn into octo form when they give out. I keep struggling to form sentences and stumble over my words. My heart keeps pounding to some unheard beat, and I can’t stop thinking about that situation. The colors weaving a tapestry within my mind, all melting together into something I can’t comprehend or separate…

The whole train ride back to Inkopolis felt strange too… I normally am not a fan of the train while alone, but this was different. It felt more like something was missing?

I’m really not sure what any of it is, are these symptoms of some disease? Are they side effects of the sanitation attempt that still haunt me these after years?

I’m unsure, I think maybe I’ll talk with my older sister, she might know. The strange part is that they aren’t necessarily bad feelings, I’m just overwhelmed.

Either way, I’ll post about the rest of the splatfest tomorrow, it’s late.

Stray thoughts of a ex-metro octoling

Splatfests are so beautiful normally. Everything around me is alive. The lights are luminous and warm, the drone shows are gorgeous and bright, the people are dressed to the nines in their splatfest gear, and all look so pretty but especially them

The ink waves with light like the sea-floor despite being nighttime. It reminds me of the tests, the way my own ink shined, and the way the sanitized kind shimmered sinisterly… now the pink and blue are dredging up those memories. They stirred up a panic attack in my first match… (sorry team mates)

The splatlands have been amazing. It’s been nice to take a rest, get away from it all. Inkopolis is home, but there’s so much I have to attend to there. Between work, my family, trying to keep tabs on the things I do, it’s a lot. Thanks to Skye I’ve been able to escape it all for a little while. I’m super grateful to have someone like him.

Lastly are the quietest stray thoughts. Ones I can’t quite hear… feelings of a little fluttering in my chest, or getting flustered so easily… I don’t know what to make of them or what they mean, but I think until summer nights is over I’ll let them be. This is time for celebration and fun, so I’ll do my best to enjoy it.

Signing off for the night

Holy shell, the splatfest completely snuck up on me. Uh, go Team Land (I know it’s yellow but Chumblr doesn’t have that) and happy summer nights! Se ya out there.

Rainmaker is worse than clam blitz you genuinely can not change my mind.

WHATS UP CHUMBLR

Your favorite menace is BACK with another BATTLE REPORT!!! Melody and I played some of the Extreme Jump challenge that was going on, I actually called outta work for it LOLLL.

BUT FIRST

Melody told me about how the Decavitator was pretty similar to my modded wiper and I should try it out since I can’t really sneak a modded weapon into regulation.

Turns out I really like the thing! It was super fun to mess with especially in this challenge, but I ended up switching to the Cometz Octobrush for the remainder of the challenge because I’m pretty proficient with it and it’s actually surprisingly good for the jump challenge.

Highlight Matches:

These were some of our best matches of the day! Unfortunately Melody had to leave before my last 3 matches, but we still had a great time!

I also filled out my challenge card again! IK it’s not really that tough but my schedule is prettttyy tight and I rarely actually get to do this (hence me literally calling out of work for this).

GAMBLING HERE I COME

[c0ralriffs]

Managed to get into another elusive challenge. This time it was the high jump challenge! Played a bunch of it with Skye and we kinda kicked ass.

Honestly, not a huge fan playing of blasters in general, let alone one so slow as the ranged blaster, but it worked out pretty well most games too

No fist bumps with Skye tonight but hey, we still did pretty well all things considered!

[c0ralriffs]

So Skye and I played Clam Blitz for the first time in?? Probably a couple years honestly, and the first one went weird. All the clam balls we got seemed to disappear or have a bite taken out of them for some reason? And then of course we lost cause of it.

But also somehow we won the next game we played so that also happened?

Anyway, surprisingly decent experience with a rank mode I used to hate. Might give it another try soon.

Timeline full of apocalypse posting from Inkopolis and certain areas of Splatsville so imma lighten the mood with a progress post

Anyways!

Melody made it to Splatsville away to get away from the whole sanitized ink thing (its way worse over there) and she got here while the trizooka challenge was still active so we decided to do that.

I’m a splatana main and I actually really like the RUS-T’s kit so I was doing fine, HOWEVER…

Melody’s poor, poor soul is a dualie main, and the only available dualies were the gloogas…

All I can say is MAN does she hate those things, and even though we didn’t do that good, it was kinda fun. We had a couple of really good rounds too!

We also ran a few shifts at Grizzco for some quick cash, got a neat photo of one of the crews on the copter!

Anyways that’s it for today! Haven’t posted today rlly because it was my day off and I’ve just been chillin not really thinkin ab chumblr or anything. But yeah I’m alive and NOT claimed by the sanitization outbreak

hey, it's tess.

if this whole sanitized goop shit everywhere situation has a literal mini army captain going into the public eye, we are FUCKED.

just a reminder to please not touch the sanitized ink, stay away from it unless you or someone you know is completely certified to study it or get near it for any purpose.

if you see any coming out of a new spot, report it immediately. authorities, news, public press, social media post, random person you see, i don't care, just spread the word.

also, stop eating the shit. it's like mass cannibalism. stop that. you're incriminating yourself. yes, i myself did try to eat it, but it was for science!!!!!! trust!!! 🙏 the sanitized ink is blended remains of basically what i can only assume is a bunch of missing octarian soldiers and others related to that. who knows what else is in there, but no matter what race or species you are it's still really gross to even attempt to eat it. it's like. a horror movie smoothie. or something. moral of the story- DON'T EAT IT. don't make me say it again.

as of now, im currently in inkoplis to figure out the source of this issue, and hopefully help anyone out. please be careful. if you need help i have several places i can be reached, so please don't hesitate if you need help.

stay fresh, stay safe.

update: i have now noted from several friends of mine that it has been spotted in splatsville too! great! love that.

also, this is IMPORTANT. please stay inside unless it's an emergency. if you've come in contact with sanitized ink, self-quarintine is the best option for now. at least 5 days. this is to avoid accidental exposure for others if you were dumb enough to handle this ink without protection.

Had some crazy salmon run shifts last night with Skye! These boss salmonids had no clue what was coming for them!

[c0ralriffs]

We had some CRAZY rounds holy shit.

35 golden eggs is I think the second most I’ve ever gotten in a shift, and the only time I got more was probably a gold rotation.

Anyway time to use the money I have to buy some new gear (probably a lie I never spend anything)

[skyefyre]

Big Run? More like big bux in bank account.

[c0ralriffs]

Sure, but only until you get your hand on the shell out machine or see something at Jelfonzo’s

[skyefyre]

It’s not my fault they just had a HUGE merch drop ok. And ALSO!!!! I don’t use my cash on the shell out machine anymore I use my Sheldon tickets for that because I hate him and don’t want to go to his store.

[c0ralriffs]

It’s probably fine anyway. Summer nights splatfest is soon and so as long as we’ve got cash up tickets it’ll probably be fine. That is if you still have any after that crazy shopping spree the other day. It was fun tho
