RoxTron (Splatoon Sideblog)

[roxtron-spltn]

☆ Pinned Post / About Me ☆

☆ I don't mind what people call me, Rox, Tron, RoxTron, whatever nickname may come to mind, I'm alright with anything. ☆ He / They ☆ How often I post and what I post heavily depends on what my hyperfixations and special interests are at the time. Posts here depend how much my other interests may take over my mind and motivation in comparison, lol.

☆ What I post here ☆

This account is a sideblog for Splatoon content, unlike my main blog, this blog is a mix of original posts and reblogs, I'll have my tags below if you're interested in my original Splatoon content though. I'll probably post more of a variety here, my art, my stats, the game's meta, or just fun stuff like every time I redesign my locker.

☆ Sideblogs ☆

I want to keep my main blog strictly for original posts, as much as I can anyway. So, this is one of my sideblogs dedicated to a fandom I enjoy. If you're interested, my main and other fandom sideblogs will be listed below. ☆ @roxtron (main blog) My other sideblog is just for disorganized reblogs, funny posts I find or random things I agree with. ☆ @roxtron-rbs (Reblog sideblog)

☆ @roxtron-kh (Kingdom Hearts)

☆ @roxtron-gt (Ghost Trick)

☆ @roxtron-ace-attrny (Ace Attorney)

☆ @roxtron-pokemon (Pokemon)

☆ Boundaries ☆

I don't have much to say here, I'm pretty open when it comes to boundaries, the only thing that's really bothered me here is getting hate reblogs, if that happens I won't hesitate to block for it. Beyond that I'm fully comfortable with getting asks and stuff, if you want to ask me something or just interact with me at all don't hesitate! I might not be the best at talking to people but I do enjoy it, especially if it connects to topics I'm passionate about. As a side note, while I do try to check blogs of people I interact with in case it's a terf or whatever, sometimes you never know, so if I do reblog something from someone who's done something shitty don't hesitate to let me know with an ask or something because chances are I probably don't know.

☆ Tags for my content ☆

☆ #tron.txt - I see a lot of people use .txt for their 'just talking' type of posts so I figured whatever I will also do that lol.

☆ #my art - self explanatory lol ☆ #my stats - for posts where I include screenshots of my in-game stats.

☆ #my outfits - in-game outfits I liked for my inkling.

☆ #my locker - every time i redesign my locker, if I'm proud of it I'll probably post it and use this tag.

My comissions are open! For more info, check this page: https://roxtron-portfolio.ca

Figured out my problem with the Grand Festival outfits: they're so beige. It's sad. SO was all about bringing COLOR to the world, the game's theme is CHAOS.

This.

This is order.

This is the vibes a Final Fest if Order had won would have.

The cleaner artstyle doesn't help. Yes, the image is gorgeous but it's all so clean and nice which brings out the sad lack of colors.

The easy solution was to add dashes of colors on the outfits, a bit like the Inkling walking in the area. Or! Base it on Holi! The Hindu festival where they throw paint at each other! I mean, Indian culture is a part of Splat3, it's mixed with Brazilian (who are also known to have colorful events) and Japanese culture. It fits with the games in general. The only problem is that it wouldn't be aesthetic enough for the idols, or that would just mean that they would stay their normal colors, so the white/beige could be tainted with splashes of different colors. If we're being extra, throw in holographic textures instead of metallic.

Chaos won so let's keep it chaotic until the end! Really hoping that we get new outfits and the map/aesthetic gets more silly as we hit the Big Run part of the finale. At this point, it's gonna happen, it's in the code and we know the Grand Festival was coded to last 5 days, not 3. Everything pointed to a last Big Run so it's just confirmation that we're getting it (specifically in the city) and the party's gonna get crashed

oguh FINALLY this puts my thoughts into words on why I'm just not drawn to the final fest outfits. You're right, they really are so colorless, with them ALL being the SAME color.. kind of erasing their individual colors in favor of a uniform theme. It really does feel more in line with order. Especially 'cause like, you're right, an easy fix would've been to add some ink-color into their outfits. I like some pieces of the outfits, sure, but as a whole their outfits for grand fest are indeed pretty colorless and lacking individuality.

Its days like these where I despise Splatoon for its shitty matchmaking system.. Why. This is so cruel.

i wish splatoon 3's story mode addressed the harm to salmonoids, and the player's participation in it.

so last night i was talking about splatoon 3's story issues and why I feel like it's not as strong as splatoon 2. Generally my biggest issue with splatoon 3's stories were the missed opportunities- and he's absolutely right side order was the biggest disappointment for missed story opportunities. But, anyway. Revisiting the topic reminded me what I hoped for in splatoon 3's plotline with Mr Grizz and why it disappointed me so much- I think it's because they never acknowledged the story elements I found most intriguing about Salmon Run's ties to the lore. The idea of having you, the player, participating in what you think is a silly minigame, and what your inkling views as just a job to make ends meet, results in you unknowingly participating in invading the territory of the Salmonoids, stealing their resources and having your primary objective being to steal their eggs- their children- All the harm you're causing by participating in this silly game mode- It's such an intriguing idea to me. And, forgive me for mentioning politics here, but I think you can see how this story element could very easily be tied into or used as an analogy for the current state of the world.. And Splatoon 3 didn't address it at all. It acts as if the problem is the way Mr Grizz chooses to use these resources, and ignores how fucked up it is he's invading their territory and stealing their resources in the first place. And my friend did make a good argument, I can see why they wouldn't know how to address it post-story mode. It'd be dumb and insane to just completely remove salmon run, it is a fun game-mode. But to be honest- They should've thought of that before making it so lore-important. And there are solutions to this problem. The lazy route my friend mentioned- Just going "Remember salmon run" to allow you to play it post-story mode. I had an idea that could be very interesting as either what they should've done in Splatoon 3, or what they could do for future games like the inevitable Splatoon 4- Just change Salmon Run so Big Run is the default. As sad as it would be to lose the stages that take place in the Salmonoid territory, I think story-wise for morality, the best way to keep Salmon Run while acknowledging the harm it does, is to make it so that Salmon Run is only played when Salmonoids are invading the inklings territory, so it's more a form of self defense instead of actively invading their territory. This isn't a perfect solution, I admit. And I'm not saying they should remove Salmon Run and only ever use Big Run, what I'm saying is Salmon Run should only take place on Big Run stages, OR, they could make new stages for areas that are near-constantly under threat from Salmonoid invasion, perhaps stages that have been removed from multiplayer and didn't make it into Splatoon 3, that could be a story explanation as to why. I dunno. I prefer the creativity of Big Run stages to normal Salmon Run stages personally, I think it'd be a lot better both story-wise and gameplay-wise. But yeah. In my opinion I think that's one of the biggest missed opportunities with Splatoon 3's involvement of Salmon Run and Mr Grizz into the story mode. I really wish they actually addressed it.

Figured it was about time I made a splatoon sona

Spent a while working on this one- It's technically a sort of redesign/alternate design to my robot sona, but I'm happy with how it turned out. It keeps the design elements I liked about the bot design while still keeping it fitting to Splatoon and its species' restrictions. Plus, bonus, I made a few alternate color palettes to this design (Basically just alternatives to the main player ink color)

+ zoomed in version

so i found some of my old splatoon drawings from like, 7 years ago at this point? It was back when I took a break from digital to try and draw traditional using some of the art from the official art book as reference. It's been so long now and I've improved so much I thought it'd be fun to redraw them! Definitely reactivated that old special interest lol

the comparison is wild honestly, I'm really proud of how far I've come. It may not be as significant as other people's redraws of their old art, but seeing it side by side like this, I think my art has changed a lot more than I initially thought. .
