Cascade

My Eternal Damnation that I will never be able to escape.

Yeah, directors have a lot of tells, in cinematography, themes, and character archetypes. I guess this can be annoying when it's something that reminds you of your edgy teenage phase, but it's easy to get wrapped up in that distaste and say lots of things which aren't necessarily fair.

There are lots of people who do that, Quentin Tarantino and Wes Anderson make their movies all look the same too but everyone loves them. Some directors just have a niche they follow, it's not all that rare, we just call out the ones who's niches we don't like without realizing how widespread the habit is.

Rainmaker Mode being added Saturday early morning for UK/tomorrow night for America! Capture the Flag is always fun, pretty excited!

Penguins > Bears. Fact. But damn was our Splatfest REALLY close this time, the results were literally 52% - 48% both rounds, but South had more wins and North was more popular. It was really balanced. As ridiculous a choice the topic was it made for a fairer and less predictable result! Better than the last two Splatfests for sure. And of course I made sure I was South Pole and Penguin Queen. For some reason we got the American titles for each rank this time. Not sure why. I guess it sounds less dumb than "Eternal South Pole Girl" lol.

so which three of you would want to be in a squad with me for ranked battles u_u;;;

Yes
Pop culture shapes our society and our lives. As an artist, you should know this.

Another Splatfest next week guys. Specifically Friday/Saturday for you lot and Saturday/Sunday for the non-americans aka me. Once again the EU theme is hilarious and great and better than America (What would you roast over a campfire? who even goes camping anymore it's not fun):
 

 
NORTH POLE vs SOUTH POLE. Obviously a very important question over here that is argued constantly and daily in normal life, at the shops, even in our governments. The South Pole tee has a penguin on it and I like penguins more than polar bears (as cute as they are), so it's actually a very easy choice this time. Even though the North Pole is where Christmas was born and raised. But no I've gotta stick with my choice. Soz pheo

I literally just learned today that "s'mores" are actually this weird marshmallow/chocolate thing in between two biscuits (edit: crackers i forget that biscuits are not the same in america) that is then roasted over a campfire, and not actually just a weird invented American term for a roasted marshmallow on it's own. DURR culture shock much. It sounds gross btw. The marshmallow is all you need people

I think it's because that dude Milo, aka Ryan who was on here a while ago for not long, died in Texas a week ago. And then a couple days ago there was a day where 1. I was talking to online friends about Milo; 2. I was talking to my irl friend whose best friend died that day; 3. everyone at work was going to a funeral for a regular; 4. work got a call to tell them that another close client had died that morning. Tragedy opens up your eyes to more tragedy, and I thought it somehow fitting that, having saved a seagull from a bin on the 23rd, I found one dead on the side of the road on my way home. Milo was also hit by a car. I have the melodrama sense of someone who's never had to suffer any consistent tragedy in their life.
 
I've probably dreamt of Cascade because I know her irl, but otherwise I'm not sure. I've been here long enough now that it'd make sense if I'd had more of other members. I've been here for close to 1/3rd of my life after all. 
 
Joined on my 15th birthday. Entirely by coincidence though, since my original account ANGEL TEETH was made sometime in July. This current account was his 'brother' hahahaha. That's basic stuff.

Ok no offense but how do you have money to spend

i appreciate and accept your apology. i dont think anything more needs to be said about this in this thread.

High fantasy is the worst. Game of thrones is the only one of the genre that's ever held my interest. High fantasy is basically "super realism" if magic were real and everyone was white lol. So boring and political!

A big snuggly bear who makes cool art. He's also a big dweeb with weird hair that looks kinda greasy (from what i've seen) and likes to keep his shirt off to impress his secret crush cascade.

Outspoken Feminist with a diehard love for pink princessy stuff. Constantly rude to me until she gets drunk, and then is endlessly apologetic and can't figure out why she's so rude to me all the time. Never reads good webcomics she'd definitely obsess over if she'd JUST PICKED THEM UP. Good at working her retail job, whether or not she likes it or likes to admit it. Massive Dangan Ronpa nerd with a room loaded full of DR merchandise, and is basically a walking disciple of Junko Enoshima. Actually good to talk to, and watch stuff with, no matter what she thinks.
 
 
Okay what the fuck is this bullshit. I fucking shit posted in this thread expecting to get roasted again and instead you give me this completely flattering absurd sincere junk about how I'm such a bro. My god. Don't you know I don't deserve this kind of treatment? You're wrong. You're a wrong person, get out. "He doesn't know how to take a complement," you should have added that.

*rings bell* shame *rings bell* shame *rings bell*

I was expecting this update to be at the end of the month, so the fact that it's gonna be only a week on Thursday makes me very excited! Looking forward to all the new gear and weapons going to be added, the bucket and Gatling gun sound amazing and hilarious. And there can never be too many clothes obviously. 
 
Defs need to have a Hnet Squid Squad. Who plays this game???? Me, Skyler, T1g, Eka, Ganny... anyone else? I might also try to see if any of the people who I friended during Splatfest teams might wanna make a squad with me. You can never have too many squads right? But yeah it'll be so fun to play with all you guys as a squad and in that 8-player friend mode! If we can find 8 of us to all play at once lol. I'm super excited for this update. 

Squads are coming in August need to get a new cable so we can Squad it up together!!

artist, wants to be in the vidya game industry. suffers from chronic wrist pain DUE TO ART you sick puppyers. considers me to be his go-to for fitness advice. genuinely one of the best bros out there and has got your back whenever you wanna vent. is probably a hit with the ladies but doesn't realize it. tom waits enthusiast fanatic maniac. capable of facial expressions that are more likely caricatures than being physically possible. that being said, doesn't smile in pictures. never cuts his hair short enough. gets trolled by mom on facebook resulting in endless entertainment for friends. also a triplet. has adorable nephews.

I went to see the Ant-Man film tonight, fully expecting to be awful superhero garbage, just judging from the trailer I saw. And I honestly enjoyed it, and I neeeeeever enjoy superhero films. I mean, it was completely and utterly dumb, and really cliché, but at least it knew it was a stupid premise, and just rolled along with the comical side of things, instead of being super-serious explosions everywhere like most superhero films. The entire fight scene in the little girl's bedroom was completely worth going to see this. I was in literal tears. Would recommend.

Camp Triggerfish is an... interesting map. It's okay in Turf War, I like the gate mechanic, it makes for an interesting last minute of the match. I'm not too used to the layout just yet, but I'd say this is probably one of the less predictable maps? The fact that it's a circle makes for less chokepoint-ey games. The enemy team can always be invading your base whilst you invade their base, totally missing it. If you never check the map like I do lmao! I like the map, though. It's a nice, fresh setting as well away from all the industrial/urban maps.
 
Tower Control on it is super fun though. Super puppying tense, the tower is always floating over the water for 90% of the game. And I finally got to A- Rank thanks to this stage wooooooop woop. I hope Splat Zones is like, somewhat fun, at least on this map. There aren't many where it is... lol. Bluefin Depot, Arowana Mall and Port Mackerel and that's basically it.
 
Also this image from the current Japanese Splatfest... the teams being Lemon Tea and Milk Tea... the latter team's ink colour... I feel bad for laughing at this put this colour in our versions immediately:
