Sigh. mfw there’s a really popular fic that just upsets me more and more bc it’s written so poorly I can’t find any good in it anymore
wesker?? I hardly know her!
hi gamers and gays its me uhhh idk i like splatoon?? i like deltarune?? bugsnax, n shit like doll collecting lmao idk?? anyway ive been on tumblr for a secret long time so yknow im an aspiring author ive got a few drafts under my sleeve so
There’s one little detail during the final boss battle of Splatoon 3 (well several, actually) that’s lost in translation
You see there’s a specific phrase associated with the Calamari Inkantation in Japanese, “to hear it is heaven, to sing it is paradise”
Cap’n Cuttlefish says it when he hears the Inkantation during the final boss of Splatoon 1:
And Marie and Callie say each half it respectively when the former helps the latter regain her memories during the final boss of Splatoon 2:
In Splatoon 3′s final battle, the phrase returns once again, where this time Cuttlefish starts with the first half, and DJ Octavio finishes it with the second half:
Now, the English localizations usually adapt this phrase with “That heavenly melody (the one and only)”, and they did have Octavio say it in 3-
But what get’s lost is the fact that, originally, Cuttlefish and Octavio were saying it together in 3, which is nice to see, given their history and all
(The Japanese phrase also generally seems a bit more profound, but the localizers probably couldn’t have guessed it’d become such a recurring thing when they were working on 1, so yeah)

Things that people who didn't play splatoon one missed and I silently cry for you
-amazing mid transformation frames
-carbon roller with burst bombs and the stronger carbon roller in general. It's godly.
-Squid jump. 100% the best way to wait for a match
-Blinding lime green
-The stupidity and adorableness that is saltspray rig.
-kraken
-the joy of your whole team saving up and letting off one of these bad boys at the last second of a match.
-plus a map always open in your hands.
And of course actually knowing everything that in the next two games they reference to the first game. Agent 3, important sunken scrolls, etcetera.
