5/29/2025: Welcome to Liquid Sunshine!
Hello! Welcome to my blog! Here, I'll talk about my art projects and my interests. You'll see all kinds of stuff here, from video games to webcomics to music! I will try to update this every month or so, but I might forget if I get busy. I'm not really a blog person anyway, but my family and friends are probably pretty tired of me dumping a bunch of Splatoon lore on them when they don't even play the game, so having a spot to yap will probably be beneficial to some degree. Upcoming rants: hopes and dreams for Splatoon 4; the importance of modern art and graffiti art; how Deep Cut got ignored in their own game; why Stitches is my favorite Animal Crossing characters; the Legend of Zelda series; and more! Wow so exciting!

orgdsnfasizrgjpeirdsgnvad WHAT WAS THAT. I'm serious what was that. I am in tears. I am crying screaming throwing up. Jayvik your days are numbered you had better run because are you kidding me. Are you kidding me. Is Jonny Sims trying to shred my heart into pieces because I genuinely really do think he is. What the frickity frack was that. That is so absolutely heartbreaking. AND THE MOTHER OF PUPPETS! OF COURSE IT WAS THE WEB ALL ALONG. We all underestimated Annabelle Cane and thought she was just another avatar and look at us now. Silly. Stupid. Didn't notice all the foreshadowing that was practically shoved into our face. Like even the dang Jane Prentiss incident was because of the Spider. Because the hole in the wall that released all the worms early was only made because Jon knocked over a bookcase because he was trying to swat at a
6/14/2025: Splatoon Raiders
So last Tuesday morning, Nintendo randomly announced Splatoon Raiders, a Splatoon spin-off that seems to be focused on Deep Cut. This is very exciting news! I'm really glad that Deep Cut is finally getting the spotlight since they basically got ignored in Splatoon 3 despite Splatoon 3 being their game. It'll be really cool to see how Nintendo makes Splatoon Raiders stand out from the rest of the franchise. Stylistically, it looks wonderful - the graphics are very crisp, and it definitely maintains the Splatoon vibe. I really like Deep Cut's outfit/hairstyle change in the second part of the trailer (although I wonder why Big Man changed color), and the player Inkling's makeshift gear and clothing is really neat! I wonder if they live on the island featured in the game? We get a scene of Shiver fishing - maybe it's an open-world, survival-esque game? You probably do a lot of scavenging, given the way Deep Cut and the player character are dressed, and the fact that the game has "raider" in the name. I wonder if we'll get lots of neat scavenger-themed clothing? That would be really cool. I wonder if we'll be making things, like that weird steampunk-looking machine we saw in the trailer that followed the player around? The music played in the trailer was really fun, too, and if there's one thing I trust the Splatoon team with, it's music. What was that eye that opened at the end of the trailer, too? Was it a giant squid? That would be a cool arc. I wonder if Team Past has anything to do with this game - it seems to have a story focus; and surviving alone on an island, isolated from modern society, does give me "past" vibes. And clearly the "what would you bring to a deserted island" splatfest from early in Splatoon 3's lifespan had an impact on the game - there's a video about that here. Anyway, yeah, really excited about this game! I don't have Switch 2, but maybe I'll get it for my birthday or Christmas or something so I can play Splatoon Raiders when it comes out!
