i met an Ethogirl in Splatoon and got so excited I started to party w them, somehow trying to get the message acorss that I too was an Ethogirl. I think I made us lose cuz I was so caught up in "holy shit Ethogirl in the wild". so to splatoon player ethogirl, on team Li'l Bunnies, I am so so sorry
Is this blog about to become the missed connections section of craigslist but for ethogirls-
You mentioned that there are inkfish that lose limbs permanently due to specific circumstances, which makes me wonder, if phrostehics for inkfish exist and how would they work?
They do, but they're quite rare. Most are custom-made, since inkfish... very rarely permanently lose limbs. But custom made ones are just like any others, really!
Cheaper ones usually can't be taken into squid form, while theres some more expensive ones that can "fold up" to be more easily carried in squid form.
How is the act of repeatedly leaving and entering swim form regarded in the inkfish world? I’ve heard from a few people that it’s considered pretty rude to some.
Depends on the culture and the situation, really.
A few cultures regard swim form entirely as taboo or risque, as you appear "naked". Some think it's rude when you're talking to someone, as you have much more limited facial expressions. Most think it's fine, just situational.
The rapid shifting in and out is (in cultures where swim form is fine in public), oftentimes very situational. It's usually regarded as an act of extreme emotion- like how some people just need to wiggle or move when they get really happy, or excited, or even frustrated.
In the times where it's clearly friendly/excited, because of the mimic nature of squids, others often join in. This is usually called a party, or squid party, and is fine!
Doing so after you've killed someone or defeated them, however, is often regarded as a taunt, and extremely rude- a way to say "haha I'm happy cus I beat you!!!"
So... just like lots of gestures, really situational.
can inkfish get tattoos? is it from their own ink if they can, or can they get tattoos from other inkfish's ink...
Yes, inkfish can get tattoos!
The tattooing is done with special made tattoo ink, not inkfish ink. Inkfish ink dissolves too easily, and if you use another inkfish's ink, your body might react badly to it.
However, you are correct- their skin is sensitive. Usually tattoos must be done in short sessions with lots of disinfecting because of how the skin reacts, to give it lots of time to heal.
Hey! Since i heard that inklings do NOT fare well with contaminated water, is salmon run a fatal job? There are probably lots of people who get sick due to being splatted in the water, but hopefully the slop suits help with that. But the skin contact with the mucus-goo-water that the salmonids sling probably isnt too good for them since you can visually see it on their faces. (Big run is probably much more alarming than just breach of territory)
Potentially... yes.
Salmon run is very dangerous, especially for inkfish... but unfortunately, inkfish are the easiest to transport because of their ability to superjump, which Grizzco relies on. So they're really the only ones who are hired.
The ocean, especially around salmonid territories, is full of bacteria that are extremely harmful to inkfish. Salmonids absorb and excrete these bacteria in their slime. This is why they wear the slopsuit- it doesn't stop them from getting injured or splatted, but at least stops a good chunk of slime from getting on their skin.
They at least offer showers between shifts to help remove anything that does get in, but.. lots of people who work and don't take precautions or safety measures get quite ill. Often not fatal, but usually pretty nasty- like a stomach bug.
might be a bit of a stupid question, but are the clams used in clam blitz real clams? do you stick them together like lego to make a power clam or are they some kind of flashy tech?
Depends.
Historically, the clams used were real, and often alive. It started as a game where the winners would actually get the clams to eat!
Later on, when it started getting more mainstream and played more commercially instead of with friends, they moved away from real clams and towards either empty glued-together shells, and then to faux clams. This was to maintain uniformity, so there weren't any variances between the clams that might make things "unfair" in big-name matches, and to stop people form getting hurt if they get beaned with them.
This is the current standard "clam", which is usually silicon-coated plastic. They're carried around in a "clam bag", which is a leather pouch held together with a cord or lace.
The "power clam" is just a full clam bag.
OKAY SO THIS IS A STRANGE QUESTION BUT. ARE GLOWFLIES POISONOUS? I JUST WATCHED MY COWORKER EAT A FISTFUL OF THEM IN RAGE.
Awesome! They're poisonous
I know the title says squid biology, but would it be possible to learn about other biology? Say shark folk for example?
Yep, we're here to answer anything we can- be it squids, octopi, sharks, worms, jellies, you name it! I can't guarantee any of us will have the answers... but we also have lots of connections, and will do our best to get those answers to you!
