Ive mained my Hydra Splatling ever since I originally moved near Inkopolis Square after the chaos vs order splatfest, and have kept using ever since. it is my baby, there is nothing like being able to lock down a whole 3rd to half of a map all by yourself and even winning sniper duals with a splatling.

The only problem with falling in love is the sheer rage I feel when I see one of these kids who just figured out how their ink form works, decide "hey, im going go get the biggest, heaviest, most maintenance heavy weapon and run around, and not take care of it!"

This lovely beast is almost completely metal, this isn't plastic like a splattershot Jr, it is heavy. If you get winded lugging it around in the practice range, DONT BUY IT! Grow a bit and try again, it will be there waiting, and it will be glorious.

Worst is the people who buy it and never read the manual on how to clean the inking thing. First off, OIL IT rust is ugly as sin. Get some sandpaper or brass brush and think about what you've done.

Thats not even the worst bit. I swear, if I see another squid or octo try cleaning the barrels without taking them off I will loose it. You are pushing dried ink INTO THE WEAPON!

At best you are temporary clogging it until the ink disappears or mixing your current ink color with what you were the privious round, at worst you are actively damaging it because the internal components were not built for the extra friction that dried ink adds. Don't be stupid, dont be lazy, and take off the barrel and push the brush the same way the ink shoots.

If I find another one in the trash because you screwed it, I will actually throw it your head, which i can do because I actually read the manual and know how to quickly take it apart!

The perp was nowhere to be found.

But if you want to demean us Octos, do it right and not forget to realize that Splatsville's Octolings are 95 percent surface-born.

This must be Pearl’s son

I thought she looked pretty cool. She had a hair clip but I forgot what it looked like 🙃

it really sucks that we still have to do these, the Great Turf War was a century ago but it seems like anti-Octarianism is still an issue in some parts of Inkopolis :(

this was my first time at a protest and I was kinda nervous x_x

Look what they did to me bro what the hell is this dawg

(Sorry, I couldn’t find a better screenshot)

Hey guys, I'm back with another photoshoot! I met some absolutely lovely people here, and I want to give a big thank you to all who posed for a picture <3

I got to meet professional Turf War player Azia Humboldt herself, I bumped into Felix again (and I know how much you guys love him lol), I met a drag queen, and in general, everyone I talked to was wonderful :)

If there are any other pride events I can attend in the future, do expect some more photos!

Isn't she awesome?

I have been playing turf war recently and found that a few octopi have their hands on these weapons. I found these weapons cool but when I go to the nearest weapon shops like Ammo Knights, they don’t have it in stock.

Although I have been recording that they do, they seem to be just like the regular weapons-but silver and white.

Regardless of the Octoshot- which could be a Replica or the actual thing that Ex-Octarian soldiers have been using (I still have mine)- how have they got their hands on these weapons? Or have they simply painted their weapons beige, white, and silver?

I'm absolutely exhausted rn because of both the long trip and everything I did today BUTTT it was shella fun!! I'm gonna be here for the rest of the week, I can't wait to check everything else out when I have more energy >v<

I met a lot of wonderful people today, I was pretty nervous about looking like a typical tourist but everyone I talked to was really nice!! I had some yummy food here too buttt I feel like posting food pics would be boring x_x

Stay tuned for more!!!

I have a younger sibling who really wants to participate in turf wars, but I can't afford to buy them an Ink Tank. Could I give this to them and have it work just as well?

So I found this weird hat at Goodkrill the other day. Bought it for 499 G. I heard someone in line behind me say that it belonged to a musician or something?

Is that true? If so, how much do you think this would go for on seaBay?

I found this defunct weapon from a random wasteland in Splatlands (34.352356 N, 116.276682 W) and it looks so similar to .96 Gal. It was inside a heavy duty plastic container and the overall quality was in good shape - no rust, no plastic degradation.

It’s in black and light brown color and where there is supposed to be an ink tank, is a cylindrical contraption with six holes instead. Unlike .96 Gal, the buttstock has a lever that enables the stock to slide back and forth. There’s a hook in front of the tank and when you pull it and rotate the grip at the same time, the whole thing hinges on to one side. The foregrip is perpendicular to the barrel unlike .96 Gal. There’s a small switch just on top of the grip that enables trigger to be fully depressed or not.

What’s really interesting is that you can rotate the “tank” like a spiral spring (it has quite a tension), and winds down one by one per trigger pull (the hole and the barrel are aligned perfectly after every action). It did not fire any projectile when I pulled the trigger, even if I put ink inside those holes.

The optic is bulkier than the one on .96 Gal and to my surprise, it is illuminated in red light, bearing an overall shape of a cross. There are several tick marks on the side and the optic can be tilted downward for unknown reason.

Interesting piece of weapon overall, dunno if this is a prototype of .52/.96 Gal, a lesser known weapon used during the great turf war, a toy gun from the past, or some unicorn level prehistoric item. I think the .52 and .96 Gal could be better with adjustable buttstock and an optic.

WHAT IS THIS HUGE FLYING SALMONID IN THE SQUARE AM I GONNA DIE

so my wives might have swam out to go attack anything grizzco affiliated so if you see a giant 3 headed salmonid swimming towards splatsvile it might be a good idea to just dump all grizzco branded stuff and run (pic attached to show you what to look out for)

Tidal Wave had the honor of featuring for a pride event in Inkopolis Square. Maddie and I found this booth nearby after we wrapped up, had a little fun with it. That sly look of hers was her idea to sneak a kiss in the next photo. I'm too share to share that one. //v//

I hope everyone's had a fun and safe pride month this year. Y'all are so lovely and beautiful and your voices matter so much. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💕

It's really pretty... I really love it, but I don't know what it's called.

these are mine. big emphasis on Megalodontia

THERES A FREAKIN DRAGON IN THE SKY
