Thinking more about differences in octs depending on where they've been sprouting. So forgive me is this is a bit rambly, I just wanna throw out some of my thoughts. I'll probably draw this stuff out eventually. Maybe journal style.

-octarians from both the metro and the domes are larger in size than their surface counterparts through abyssal gigantism.

-dome octarians are often also referred too as 'primordial' octolings in some cases. With them often being cited as the closest thing to octarians of old. Though these claims have never been fully confirmed. Known for being a sort of all rounder baseline when it comes to octarians.

-Only metro octarians have the tapetum lucidum trait due to the zero light in the deeper areas. Of the two, metro octarians are larger and sometimes even come out bioluminescent.

-the metro octarians are the only ones that have pretty much lost their ability to reproduce sexually. While it can still happen, it is very rare. With most octolings creating octolinhs via chopping off their tentacles. This has created a very odd population of very similar octarians, where family names and numbers are more of a sorting tools.

-metro octarians are the only ones that get modified with metal augments. With these metal augments being treated with some level of disaste by most surface born or even dome born octarians.

-octarians from areas like octocanyon have claws. Much more pronounced than any of their counterparts. These claws as well as stronger tentacles allowed for them to traverse the odd floating islands above the canyon itself. (I will be talking much more about octo canyons environment another time.)

-although without tapetum lucidum, the octocanyon octarians have developed their own eye adaptations. Changing their pupil shapes depending on how bright it is much like extinct cats of old. This is thought to be because of unique the environment of the floating islands are.

-easily amongst the physically strongest amongst the octarians. The rough terrain and hard to navigate islands created a rough and tough group of octs. Although still very technologically gifted, it's a much different feel than the domes.

-this also means that cutlings of the octocanyon are by far some of the physically strongest as well as some of the best inkers. Especially in their native environment.

-octarians from the splatlands are the smallest octarians, much more close to the average inkling in height. As well as the most similar in shape to them.

-many splatland octolings aren't full octoling. (The same could be said for the inklings here as well.) With many being hybrids due to the mingling that's been happening much longer than in any other area.

-for this reason the splatlands has the most diverse population of octolings. Which also resulted in the loss of reproducing asexually, a trait which every other octarian type possesses in some wat. Cut tentacles will not result in a cutling or octoling offshoot. Meaning octoling hairstyles can also come to resemble inklings more in this area.

Hiii! One question... Can you show like a relationship chart or something of your splat ocs? :3

Btw your Agent 3 is adorable ~

Here's an updated relationship chart between the agents (and Bud)

I wanted to do more, but I know it will be the death of me 😔

Also thank you for the comment about 3 :33

Way back during the Splatoon 1 days I remember seeing fanart on here depicting a head canon someone had about "kraken sickness" that inklings would get if they used kraken often enough with the art showing inklings having scars and disfigurements such as hyper grown tentacles as a result and I cannot for the life of me find it anymore so I was wondering if you'd seen it back in the day because I thought it was a really cool concept

i wasnt really that involved in the splatoon fandom during the s1 days so it doesnt sound familiar...posting in case someone happens to know. the closest i can think of is dogtoling's kraken post from 2020. he has other posts on his blog that talk about krakening and kraken syndrome, like this one about health conditions.

I like to headcanon that inklings and octolings have black beaks instead of white ones because I think it look cool and I do what I want

[voltoise-reblogs-rambles]

Random Splatoon headcanon I have is that, because the respawn process does involve these celphokids Dying For Sport, respawn points used for turf war and in homes/central areas have a regulated amount of pain medicine. Better put, you know how there's like small levels of chlorine in tap water? Yeah the ink in public/private respawns have a chemical that drastically decreases the pain of getting splatted. It's why a bunch of kids can play sports and pop back up, it's like getting hit in the elbow they're fine.

A byproduct/linked headcanon to this is that the single player levels include lives because there is no chemical in those points. You know how the octarians are underground and the inklings are (were) their enemies? Yeah the agents can only handle so many splats in a row before having to retreat because, well, you try dying three times in a row.
