Greetings, my name is Serena. I am a scientist that focuses on preserving human history and I am located in [REDACTED]. I have been here for a very long time and pretty much consider it my home. I have created this blog for the purpose of recording and sharing findings.
I believe that all stories deserve a chance to be told, from the ancient humans to the modern Inkfish. If we do not share our stories, we will be doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over.
So, please join me as I discuss the end of humanity and the beginnings of the Mollusk Era, and please, feel free to share your stories with me, wether itās related to my studies or not, I am open for discussion on any subject.
Questions are always welcomed, Iāll try to answer anything and everything to the best of my abilities.
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.
By the way to just clarify for anyone who sees this reblog of this post
OP is basically saying something along the lines of "yea I know Callie Cuttlefish is bi but like. Why is she y'all's only LGBTQ+ cephalopop icon when there are all these other LGBTQ+ people in the cephalopop scene???"
I might have worded this badly but hopefully I got the main point across
[Transscript TFTD: The Truth of the Deepsea Metro]
This is a topic Iāve been holding back on for a long time, but I think itās appropriate for current events. Iāve also slowly become more comfortable with myself, and I wish to share my experiences as an inkling who was in the deep sea metro.
[sounds of someone moving around and adjusting their mic]
As Iāve stated before, I spent most of my life in the domes. My moms took care of me and we all tried to leave together, but we ended up separated and captured.
My original name is something I have lost all attachment to. My applicant number was 7312, however I was sometimes called Seven as there were so few inklings down there. My time as a test subject completing stations was short. I was too anxious and overly stressed. After some discussion I was given over to a top scientist who was known as 2222. I quickly became her personal experiment, with her testing her more risky stuff on me. One of the main tests was seeing if it was possible to sanitize someone repeatedly. This is why my scars are the color they are. Even with ink flushes, I canāt change the color of my ink. I uhā¦well my ink has been made safe with these methods! But I canāt participate in normal turf wars, if that makes sense.
Oh and. As many of you contacted me before, Iām aware of her name and the fact she has since been back in the metro. I do not consider Anura and 2222 to be the same person in my mind. One is my friend and made attempts to protect me, even if misguided. The other tortured me and saw me as nothing more than her servant. When I say her number, I mean who she had been forced to be. She is a victim like anyone else who was down there, and Iād like that to be remembered.
In my time down there I often was close to her and even required to assist her. This ranged from administering medications to helping her restrain someone to writing down what she said when she was verbalizing her findings. Her behaviors could range from weirdly maternal to completely cruel and brutal. It was unpredictable. She was able to track my every movement because I was forced to wear a shock collar that had some sort of gps. I was watched like a hawk.
As for the others down there? I was very much looked down on, with a few exceptions. Being referred to by my number was treated as a privilege, as often Iād just be referred to as āinklingā and nothing else. If I got in the way Iād be subject to being shoved around or beaten. Punishments in the metro were brutal. Splatted repeatedly, force fed sanitized ink, forced to do stations that were draining physically and mentally, and hard labor are just the ones I can think of. I
[silence, followed by the sounds of shifting around]
I uh. It was a lot. Yeah. Haha.
These were all things many test subjects went through. Most who got trapped would eventually die in some way or another, with others going to what Commander Tartar called āthe promised land.ā This was a blender he used to create the sludge used to sanitize other inkfish, and what he was going to blast Inkopolis with.
As cruel as many were, I canāt even bring myself to hate them. Weāre all still victims. Even the most loyal soldiers had occasional conflicts, but many had consistently learned to shut it down. It was an echo chamber of everyone convincing eachother and themselves of the same lies, over and over again.
A major example of this was an Octoleet known as 1337. Whenever 2222 ever had any doubts, sheād go to 1337. Their talks would always seem to justā¦ reinforce how the other thought. Many of them functioned like that.
The metro is a cruel place, with many, many victims. I know full well they are still going, too. They are weakened though, and despite everything I know Iāll get to watch the remains crumble. Iām certain of it.
Wow ive- talked a lot. I think thats enough for this one. Thank you for listening in. This one means a ton to me, and itās more important than ever I share my experiences.
I HAVE SPEAKING OF MY FEELINGS FOR OCTOSHOWER IN THIS BLOG BEFORE. SHE IS SO VERY BEAUTIFUL... SO VERY POWERFUL... BUT WITH SUCH, SUCH, SUCH GLARING FLAW!!! SO CLOSE OF PERFECT BUT SO DISTANT AWAY!!
SOURCES CLAIMING THAT HER POWER WAS BEING THE VERY THING OF HOLDING BACK FROM LEVITATION TECHNOLOGY...
FOOLISH!! TRULY FOOLISH!!
THERE IS A WAY... YOU CAN, AS INKLINGS SAYING, HAVING "CAKE" (OCTOSHOWER) AND EATING IT (LEVITATING IT) TOO!!! I ONLY NEEDING TO FIND A WAY... AQUIRING OF THE OCTOSHOWER FROM CONTACT OF @neuronicz WHICH IS DISTANT AWAY BUT I!! WILL!! GOING!!
I CAN'T BELIEVING I FORGOTTEN TO "POSTING" ON "OCTO ACCEPTANCE DAY"!! (AND "FORGOR" TO "POSTING" IN GENERIC ALSO!! EVEN WHEN SAYING I WOULD MAKING MORE "POST"!!)
COMPLETE UNFORGIVING!!!!
I HAVING THE MOST PRIDE FOR OCTARIAN CULTURE AND WONDERPUS OF CREATIVE AND RESOURCEFUL OUR PEOPLE!!! THIS "BLOG" WOULD NOT EVEN BEING REMOTE POSSIBLY WITHOUT MANY GEN OF OCTO BEING TRUE TO SELVES AND TO OCTOPIA!!!
Oh shoot, I alsoā¦ forgot its OAD. Iāve beenā¦ busy.
Must love and respect for Octopiaās history as a stronghold of endurance and the will to survive.
I recently learned about my long linage of octarian mechanics, and that my great grandmother helped work on Great Octoweapons during the Great Turf War.
Great Grammy Ida, I hope you know your descendants are living on the surface and are happy.

That's right! After years of waiting, we are now ready to show you these snazzy new weapon kits! From the talented designers at Barazushi and Emberz, we give you the Splatlands Collection, 30 weapons with all-new looks to represent the full Anarchy Rainbow of the Splatlands! (Quite fitting for Pride Month, too)
This Fresh Season also comes with other updates to Turf War and Anarchy Battle, including higher level caps for weapon freshness, the option to track your series weapon power, and the return of Urchin Underpass to battle rotations!
Both the regulation changes AND the release of the Splatlands Collection will happen on June 12, so stop by Ammo Knights this Thursday!
hey serena! what's up? anything you need help with? i'm bored and lonely and i got kicked out of the turf lobby for the night over something really stupid
Iām doing alright, my sister is digging through my memories for clues on the commanderās weaknesses LOL.
I do have something I could use help with after Iām done with this. Iām developing a new technology that may help us scare the metro if you want to help test it out!
GEN 48 (YES! 48!!!) FLOTZOMATIC HOVER DISCUS PROTO
I AM HAVING APOLOGIES FOR NOT "POSTING" AS MANY HOVERCRAFT AS NORMAL PACE LATELY FOR I AM HAVING MUCH BUSYNESS WITH PERSONAL PROJECTS AND OTHER "ISSUES" SUCH AS NAVIGATIONS TO @neuronicz DROPPING OFF LOCATION OF "SPARE OCTO SHOWER".
I AM ALSO BEING LACK OF "SUBMISSIONS" AT MOMENT FOR IDENTIFIABLE OBJECTS AND SO I HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR FUTURE "POSTING": WOULD OTHERS BEING INTERESTED IN GENERAL "UFO" POSTING FOR HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF OCTARIAN HOVERCRAFT? I AM KNOWING MANY THINGS AND CAN SHARING FOR THOSE INTEREST.
ANOTHER FORMS OF "POSTING" I AM CONSIDERING IS MORE SIMILAR TO THE OCTO SAMURAI "ROLLER BIKE" PROJECTION BLUED PRINT I HAD "POSTING" BEFORE, I COULD ALSO DOING "UP DATES" ON PERSONAL INVENTIONS AND OTHER PROJECTS. MY ONLY FEARING THERE BEING THAT I AM CAREFUL TO NOT SHARING MY LOCATION AND PUTTING MYSELF DIRE DANGER.
POSTING: YES OR NO
YES TO BOTH OF THINGS ššš
YES TO UFO HISTORY "POSTING", NO TO PROJECT "POSTING" šøšøšø
YES TO PROJECT "POSTING", NO TO UFO HISTORY "POSTING" āļøš¤āļø
The first time I heard Pearl sing it, I think. I just felt...rejuvenated. She didn't even feel it the same way, eheh...but when I sang Calamari for her, she realized what I meant.
Iāmā¦ thinking about starting to write my own stuff. Iāve been thinking about it for a moment now, but all Iāve done is covers and I donāt even know where to start with writing something from scratch.
Mayday writes, don't they? Why don't you work with them? I would love to help you, but I would hate for your success to feel connected to mine...you can always use our facilities and tech, though!
Yeahā¦ they do, but I also donāt want to bother them. And I know I know, itās not bothering them, but like, I rather have something to show before asking them for help.
