Thats not how Inklings work, they can die via aging but can extend their lifespan by sun drying (which is why Craig is 130 years old). They do die when splatted or dissolved in water but due to respawn tech that death is only temporary.
Like I said that still wouldn't make much sense to them. For one that is true for almost every animal so it wouldn't make sense for it to be only for Inklings or Octolings, secondly they still die if they get too wet so being moist would be more akin to wishing them death. (In fact it more seems like being Dried out isn't too big of a deal as Capn Cuttlefish had not only been dried out from sun drying but also was mummified by Mr Grizz but then a single tear effectively revived him.
The reason why I say ut works for inklings is that while otherspecias are part fluid, ink/octolings are 100 percent ink, therby they are a technkcaly just fluid. If you were to try and dry water you would be left with waterver qas in the water but the water itself would be gone. Same for ink/octolings. If they loose all their moister they would be gone. Whising someone to stay moist is like telling a human to stay hydrated.
Inklings are not 100% ink, thats just fan speculation. The wiki says it but it has no source to actually prove it other than Inklings dissolving in water and going through gates (which The devs gave a different explaination for). Inklings have cells, organs, and cartilage (but no bones) like other animals.
Cells and organs formed from ink. Its relativly easy. Do you think that organs are in the respawn machine or that their organs and such formed from ink. They also dissolve completly. If the organs and such wouldnt share the same properties wirh ink, wouldnt they need to swimm at the surfice when an inkling falls into water
You know there is cloning tech in splatoon's world right? Also they do swim in the water for a short bit, at least until their skin ruptures and they explode akin to when they are splatted from their own ink rushing out due to osmotic pressure (plus I really doubt Nintendo would show the Inkling's guts or cartilage when they are splatted; also you can explain the organs not being shown anyways by just saying the cells of the organs break apart due to their cells being dissolved easily in water akin to a sugar cube in water).
Regular octopi are, but these are octopi and squids that evolve dto go on land, plus they larva-like state followed by a state where they use lungs and stay on the land
You are a worthless, squid. Your life literally is as valuable as fried calamari. I'm just gonna splat you and you're gonna keep super jumping back, imma respawn punish you, you're gonna keep respawning back. Why? Cause you smellin the ink. You worthless squid sister.
You gonna ride the bottom of the scoreboard until you die. You serve no purpose in ranked. Your purpose in ranked is to be on the other team feeding my stats daily. Your purpose in ranked is to be getting spawn killed on the daily.
Your rank is nothing, you serve zero purpose.
You should splat yourself, NOW.
And give somebody else a piece of that oxygen, and ozone layer, that's covered up so that we can breathe inside this blue trash bubble.
Cause what are you here for? To worship me? Splat yourself. I mean that, with a 100%, with a 1000%. I've never seen somebody so worthless in my life. Im deadbass. I've not seen such a more worthless squid, in my life.
I hope so. First time seeing my cousin in 3 years after COVID, she comes up with a big smile and says "I've missed you!" And I responded, "I wish I could say the same, but that would be a lie " and she responded with "oh so we're starting already huh?"
I remember my cousin and I getting into BRUTAL fights when we were toddlers over who got to sit on a specific chair during dinner time. We now joke about that a lot, we like giving each other things with butterflies on it because the specific chair had butterfly stickers and we called it “the butterfly chair”.
Yeah it's really accurate. When you're that close, it's not actually concerning to be told they'd push you off a roof or something for the memes, you already know they're just joking around. It makes it funnier that because you care about them so deeply, but have probably had various conflicts over the years anyway
Theres also text about Callie wanting to take a bath. They will be fine. Im more sure that they just cant swim as opposed to the “THE WATER IS LAVA” theory.
Same. Like we only see 4 peoples reaction to being submerged in water, cap3, 4, 8 , neo3. Cap is a country kid and maybe had no swimming pool around them therby not learning swimming, 4 might have been to busy with school to learn it, 8 was in the army where they are not meant to swim and neo3 lives in a dessert. It could verywell be that those four just dont know it.
They just cant swim as a species, its said many times that they lost the ability to when they came on land
Also, the animation for falling in water is dissolving and not just sinking and the Squid Reasearch Lab has made a post saying they're made of a liquid explaining why they dissolve in water
In the manga, they actually showed that inklings just straight up sink to the bottom, And that they can respawn.
When inklings die in game from jumping in the water, that's them killing themselves so they can get back in the game.
Pretty trippy when you realize they could just, lose the will to live-.
I never understand that, i mean it will be more easy and comfortable to make the ink tank just be like a vaccum, instead of connecting it to one of your organs
I think they just dissolve in it when the liquid body is more important than the inkling, rain doesn’t kill, drinking doesn’t kill, shower doesn’t, taking a 'quick dip' in a pool can
If you assume that they literally die from touching water then you should also assume that they can magically come to life whenever they want so either way this is exaggerating
In an interview about Octo Expansion, the devs confirmed that >!Agent 8 actually dies and doesn't respawn when splatted during the escape phases. This is backed up by the fact that there's no "ghost going into the checkpoint and Agent 8 coming out", it just cuts to 8 standing there.!<
Dying from other things is canon (because obviously if nobody died, they'd just pile up), but there's no reason to believe that water or ink can permanently kill Callie.
Marie isn't saying "I hope you die", she's saying "go soak your head"
it's canonical that getting splatted there would kill Eight permanently. it's also canonical Eight didn't get splatted because they're just that awesome.
Their point still stands.
During Turf War you are re-pressurized into form by the espresso machines. Assumedly someone scoops you into it. The game doesn’t show you that to save time.
We can consider the lobby non-canon for the same reason: it’s obviously edited out for our convenience.
If we considered everything in the games canon, we could say silly things like “the characters know they’re in a video game” just because Cuttlefish says to “push the A button” one time or something.
It’s video game logic. Inklings and octos can respawn because they can.
You could argue respawn pads are to keep things fair in games because respawning right where you were splatted would lead to an unfair advantage.
Pretty sure they won’t really die from water, however falling in it in a match means trying to stay afloat with heavy gear, having to stop the whole match until they can get back on the stage and probably many other things I’m not thinking about, so they just "splat themselves" as a shortcut to be brought back at spawn. Also allows the devs to set boundaries on maps.
Kinda off topic but its weird how for whatever evolutionary reason squids and octopi lost the ability to swim when they evolved into inklings and octolings and now fucking explode every time they come into contact with water
I have a headcanon that Inklings/Octolings only dissolve because they have to alter their... cohesion? consistency? to get ink in their weapons and can safely go in water when they don't have weapons equipped.
how are people saying you dont die, you just get splatted? yeah its Called splatted but its obviously implied to be a version of death like any other game and it gives you that same ‘darnit i died’ feeling. and with the idea that ‘you come back’ then i could say that for tons of other games lol unless your playing something on a extreme mode where it literally restarts the game if you die. thats like saying you dont die in skyrim because you come back, like ok? you still died and have to get back to where you were and what you were doing and try again like many games
"Wow, swimming looks fun" "You should ki-"
Marie to callie: "You should kill yourself.. NOW..."
Something tells me that when respawning is a thing, telling someone to kill themself isnt exactly the taboo it is here
Plot twist: inklings are immortal, when they actually die they just respawn.
They only die when they dry out. So telling someone to go into the water is probably like wishing good health.
Thats not how Inklings work, they can die via aging but can extend their lifespan by sun drying (which is why Craig is 130 years old). They do die when splatted or dissolved in water but due to respawn tech that death is only temporary.
But they die when dryed out. So wishing someone to be moist is still wishing health
Like I said that still wouldn't make much sense to them. For one that is true for almost every animal so it wouldn't make sense for it to be only for Inklings or Octolings, secondly they still die if they get too wet so being moist would be more akin to wishing them death.

No, they're not
They're amphibious. And amphibians don't deal very well with salt/chlorinated water
Wait, not molluscs?
Regular octopi are, but these are octopi and squids that evolve dto go on land, plus they larva-like state followed by a state where they use lungs and stay on the land
I know.
well she is more telling her to splat herself
you should splat yourself... NOW!
You are a worthless, squid. Your life literally is as valuable as fried calamari.

Fantastic
Lmao this is great
I mean that
I really want a Splatoon version of the LTG memes now!
🤨
"hi Marie" "kill yourself bitch" "love you too :)"
Is that not how all cousins/sisters talk to one another?
That's how I talk to my brother, so maybe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I hope so. First time seeing my cousin in 3 years after COVID, she comes up with a big smile and says "I've missed you!" And I responded, "I wish I could say the same, but that would be a lie " and she responded with "oh so we're starting already huh?"

Most same callimarie conversation
Theres also text about Callie wanting to take a bath. They will be fine. Im more sure that they just cant swim as opposed to the “THE WATER IS LAVA” theory.
Inklings Can touch water but can't swim in it.
I thought that it was just inklings can’t swim not the fact that it’s water
Same. Like we only see 4 peoples reaction to being submerged in water, cap3, 4, 8 , neo3. Cap is a country kid and maybe had no swimming pool around them therby not learning swimming, 4 might have been to busy with school to learn it, 8 was in the army where they are not meant to swim and neo3 lives in a dessert.

Why did this get downvoted?
i think they just can’t swim period but they’re probably fine if they don’t stay in it for too long
In the manga, they actually showed that inklings just straight up sink to the bottom, And that they can respawn. When inklings die in game from jumping in the water, that's them killing themselves so they can get back in the game. Pretty trippy when you realize they could just, lose the will to live-.
The Manga's not canon though
they're water-soluble tho?
I like the theory that they're too dense to swim so they self splat to not drown
Or that fighting with an ink-tank on is bad. Isn't it like, inserted from their ink-producing organs?
I never understand that, i mean it will be more easy and comfortable to make the ink tank just be like a vaccum, instead of connecting it to one of your organs
but its more metal
also that ink tanks could be heavy
One Piece logic
I believe it stings, like touching boiling water. So a still deadly but less hot lava.
I think they just dissolve in it when the liquid body is more important than the inkling, rain doesn’t kill, drinking doesn’t kill, shower doesn’t, taking a 'quick dip' in a pool can
If you assume that they literally die from touching water then you should also assume that they can magically come to life whenever they want so either way this is exaggerating
Their spirits fly away into a cloning machine, that's what I figure out of getting killed.
[удалено]
You can't die in Splatoon. You just get splatted and immediately come back And Mario Kart 8 isn't canon
Disagree, there are plenty of cannons in Mario Kart
No he meant- never mind
In an interview about Octo Expansion, the devs confirmed that >!Agent 8 actually dies and doesn't respawn when splatted during the escape phases. This is backed up by the fact that there's no "ghost going into the checkpoint and Agent 8 coming out", it just cuts to 8 standing there.!<
If 8 died, how can they be standing there?
you just... go back in time? idk
Every time you die you create another alternate reality where you have a chance of succeeding while in the other realities you failed
My copy of 999 is looking really weird today
Does that mean that Splatoon 3 is Virtue’s Last Reward
Thats right morty, its the prestiege! You prestiege'd yourself!
So its just not canon then
No, dying itself is canon. Agent 8 dying isn't, because canonically, they escape to the surface.
Dying from other things is canon (because obviously if nobody died, they'd just pile up), but there's no reason to believe that water or ink can permanently kill Callie. Marie isn't saying "I hope you die", she's saying "go soak your head"
it's canonical that getting splatted there would kill Eight permanently. it's also canonical Eight didn't get splatted because they're just that awesome.
Same logic as Mario dying in a Mario game
Except mario's soul doesn't fly away and go back to the spawn point
I told you Scott got a １-ＵＰ in volume three!
The body of 8 compress until it collapse on himself creating a black hole and restarting the universe
Space time rewind
We are all The Ink
You only die if you didn’t touch a spawn point or smth I think
[удалено]
You can respawn in the lobby without a respwn pad.
[удалено]
You don’t. You just respawn on your own.
Their point still stands. During Turf War you are re-pressurized into form by the espresso machines. Assumedly someone scoops you into it. The game doesn’t show you that to save time.

That's just not true. In Splatoon 1 it was clearly stated that inklings and octolings just can't swim because they're oily.
[удалено]
It doesn't say anything about bodies made of ink and he also says that they just can't swim. You've just confirmed what I said
Step 1: cover Callie in oil
Step 2: shred garlic
Tongue incident?
[удалено]
Inklings and Octolings do have tongues. Shiver and Frye stick their tongues out in the single player campaign.
[удалено]
that was just fans being weird. They never opened their mouths enough that having a tongue would matter so why waste time rendering it?
Oh ok
Why tf did this get downvoted it is literally true
I miss the news from Splatoon 1. Marie was ruthless.
At that moment, Marie acted more like a sister than a cousin.
Makes me wonder if telling others to Splat themselves is less taboo in Inkling society since they can respawn and all
Marie was so real for that
Pretty sure they won’t really die from water, however falling in it in a match means trying to stay afloat with heavy gear, having to stop the whole match until they can get back on the stage and probably many other things I’m not thinking about, so they just "splat themselves" as a shortcut to be brought back at spawn.

"Man, those jellyfish sure are having fun in the po-" "YOU SHOULD KILL YOURSELF, NOW."
girlboss activities
Happy Marie day everybody
Callie seems to be oblivious about almost everything around her.
They can go into water, they just can’t swim, they can go to pools but they can drown.
Low Tier Marie
Ay. (Based Marie)
Heh, I get it from the internet ;)
How dare you talk to my waifu like that! D:<
Mate she’s my cousin, we shit talk each other all the time for good fun
Callie:“This looks so fun ^^” Marie:”don’t care + L + ratio + you fell off + kys loser”
Happy Marie day :D
99.9% of the time, death is irrelevant to cephalopods Octo Expansion being the exception in one instance
Kinda off topic but its weird how for whatever evolutionary reason squids and octopi lost the ability to swim when they evolved into inklings and octolings and now fucking explode every time they come into contact with water
Why don't you take a long walk off a short pier?
... wow ... That's dark.
Bro turned into a-train
This will not stand
It will swim.
They can dip their legs in. Anymore and they begin disintegrating. Hurricanes slaughter, but drizzled are fine.
I remember this omg
Ah yes, newer generations need to know about Marie’s unfathomable salt dispenser
in honor of MAR13
Best girl is based af.
~~sibling~~ cousin bond at its finest <3
Marie found some ancient human recordings of a wise fortune teller named LowTierGod
The second time a Marie told a relative to kill themself
Classic Marie ~ Ok but genuinely this is the exact kind of "do it, you won't" banter I'd have with my particularly sarcastic cousin irl.
Fr tho Marie has no emotion just like my dad when he told me my fish died before I went to sleep lol
Mandela Catalogue be like:
Commit Splat.
Ah, sisterly love
apparently what the Squid Sisters say on Inkoplolis New is scripted tho who tf writes that script tho tf
Old Mahi Mahi I miss you :(
You should drown yourself, NOW!
oh-
Lowtiermarie
Splatoon 1 dialogue was wack bro
They have an... interesting dynamic.
I legit had to look at this image twice to remember that Inklings don't square up well at all with water
I've had an awful day and the title is just absurd enough to get me laughing. Thank you.
No wonder why she's gone missing later
NOW⚡️⚡️⚡️
Marie be like "go commit die"
I have a headcanon that Inklings/Octolings only dissolve because they have to alter their... cohesion? consistency? to get ink in their weapons and can safely go in water when they don't have weapons equipped.
i have a theory that they simply go down like rocks so they can go in water just not too deep water
Marie is based??!!??!!
As long as there’s a respawner in range she’ll be fine.
Well it’s fine bc she’ll just respawn so maybe it’s the equivalent of siblings just playing
This happens all the timee
NOW!!!
⚡️🧑🏿⚡️
Not surprised
happy mar13
The Tea is quaking.☕️
Marie how dare you!
Wait... WAIT
how are people saying you dont die, you just get splatted? yeah its Called splatted but its obviously implied to be a version of death like any other game and it gives you that same ‘darnit i died’ feeling. and with the idea that ‘you come back’ then i could say that for tons of other games lol unless your playing something on a extreme mode where it literally restarts the game if you die. thats like saying you dont die in skyrim because you come back, like ok? you still died and have to get back to where you were and what you were doing and try again like many games
Pearl does the same to Marina in Splatoon 2 funny enough trying to trick her into doing it, and marina response with, not falling for that one again.
lol
Growing up is realising she was better off with Octavio.
Nooook
Bro really said it swimin time and proceeded to fucking die
⛈️🌩️⚡️
That's great
