I support all radical works, especially those inspired by our own pioneered style, but that is not how you hold a cello. Who is that guy.

And also DHA will never be as good as us. Sorry. Not sorry.

[kamryn-hotaru]

OH MY COD IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!!! GO LISTEN NOW!!!

[omega-3-official]

REMINDER TO SELF: NEVER POST LOCATION OF PRACTICE REHEARSAL. I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THE SAXOPHONE COULD DO THAT.

[omega-3-official]

what if (theoretically) me and my friend (theoretically) lowkey crashed your setup while you were performing and we would (theoretically) join you (theoretically)

mah friend has a chumblr their name is @kamryn-hotaru

DO THAT AND WE WILL THROW U INTO THE OCEAN IF U AINT FATTY ENOUGH

THAT MEANS 'FRESH' IN UR INKFISH LANGUAGE.

[omega-3-official]

Big fan of the cello in your songs, keep up the great work!!!

(Also, if you or other salmonids find human artifacts during the next big run, or in general, PLEASE do your best to preserve them, understanding humans is an ongoing effort between everyone)

I make sure that I remain the lead and face of the band. Nothing carries the sound of the sea than the sound of the cello. Don't forget it.

And bold of you to assume we don't have the ability to preserve human artifacts. I have met a few scholars in the field of human studies, they are very passionate. They just want to draw their own conclusions then listen to the conclusions of the inkfish. I respect them.

[omega-3-official]

DONT FORGET YES WE R ON CHUMBLR.

@omega-3-official Sorry this took a while, I wanted to properly set up a Chumblr for this. Anyways, thank you so much for the offer! While I’d like general advice on how to create salmonid characters and salmonid-coded species in spec fic, I’d also like to ask a few specific questions:

- How do you decribe Salmonids/Salmonid coded species in a way that aligns with their culture but doesn’t come off as fetishising?

- As an inkling, how much of Salmonid culture should I retain when creating Salmonid-inspired speculative species? Would it be disrespectful to strip them of their culture of consumption?

- What are Salmonid stereotypes I should watch out for?

- Id also like resources on translated Salmonid literature, if that’s alright!

Other Salmonid and salmonid diaspora please add to this if you’d like!

[omega-3-official]

-it is better to use salmonids in the story than to use coded species first of all. it gives salmonids more focus in the story than another species that is being used to represent them. when describing them, describe them like any other character. ink color can become fin color. clothing style can be anything. it is fetishising if there's a lot of focus on a particular trait instead of the whole character, either by characters around them or by themselves. balance story with the characters place as well as their traits like personality and culture. salmonids change a lot based on where they grew up.

-i've learned that our culture varies around different groups. you should research where the salmonid is from and what their culture is there. almost all groups near the splatlands and inkadia believe in being eaten deliciously, but some place more emphasis on certain things than others. don't be general and be specific. it would be respectful to keep the belief intact as many of us salmonids hold it close.

-i don't think I watch enough Inkfish media to have a grasp on stereotypes, im getting a lot from my comrades. but focusing on one detail might be apart of stereotypes, and exaggerating that detail. a common stereotype, our dj says, is showing salmonids never speaking the main language in the story and being treated as obstacles instead of characters. if they are supposed to be a character, another stereotype is them constantly fighting with the other characters 'for honor', and putting all that emphasis on 'for honor'. yes, we fight for honor, but if that's the whole character, it should be a stereotype.

-there are a few sites on the web that archive writings that are in salmonese, or there are authors that work with translators to sell books in other languages. you might have to dig.

i don't know if this is enough, but I did the best I can do. good luck. the firstborn child of alkyne, the hidden blade of yakiharas wants me to say 'talk to more salmonids than us. we're dysfunctional'. I think he's right

"I didn't say that! I think it's cool that you guys are making music, I was just surprised that Salmonids are making a whole band together." // if a whole Salmonid band has actually happened before in actual Salmonid lore then sorry for not knowing D: but also Caspian doesnt really know anything about Salmonids other than GrizzCo tells him lol \\

Dir The Firstborn Child of Alkyne, the Hidden Blade of Yakiharas, U caled that di bast Wai to lern Salmonean was to talk to u 3. So, I ask for permision to help me lirn Salmonean. As a favour, I will provide info on Inkfish wik spots and uther info.

-Jamewoomy

Arlo here, Jamewoomy possesses a bunch of documents from when he was in the army. He pretty much knows how to defeat a whole squad, (he splatted 350+ inklings in the span of 5 years). Anyways, ω-3, feel welcomed to use any of the strategies Jamewoomy will most likely share in the spam of the following weeks. May the sea bring a honorable life and death cycle to you, dear ω-3.

-Arlo

Hey Arlo! Til ω-3 that thei can ask questions abut humans too! Hehe, humans. I actuali met one, His names Andrew!

We're honored to have the kid be so interested in learning, but we're not too interested in war stuff. We're musicians, not generals or soldiers.

[omega-3-official]

Greetings, dear Salmonids, I am Arlo, a 100,102 year old shadow that takes care of Jamewoomy, formerly known as Commander Haikei. Jamewoomy is too afraid to ask this, but he keeps asking me if he can ask questions whenever he please. (He asks a lot of questions, so if you agree, he might as well just overflow your Ask Me Anything). Additionally, since he has a room full of Salmonid documents, he will most likely ask a lot about that. Thank you for your consideration.

-Arlo

P.S. yes, I am writing this in Salmonean due to me actually knowing the language. No, I don't support the slaughter of Salmonids to you three, The Valiant Green Flame Born in Jigokudani, The Faithful Servant of the True Salmon Emperor Hizunamasu, and The Firstborn Child of Alkyne, the Hidden Blade of Yakiharas.

THERE IS A 100,102 YEAR OLD SHADOW IN MY INBOX AND I DONT KNOW WHAT TO THINK

BUT HEY WHATS WRONG WITH PASSIONATE FANS SHELL YEAH
