Question. Is your username meant to be pronounced as "parasoul?" Like the Skullgirls lady?
I LOVE SKULLGIRLS but no.
Y’see, I’m an avid clown enthusiast and I drew a lot of silly fellas back then. (still do but not as much.) When I made my new Instagram account, I was trying to think of a new name that still corresponds to my old one. Which was payasoul.
Seeing how jellyfish are people, which makes that not equatable to Chao, why not make the Chao in the splatoon AU sea slugs or something? It's already a canon fact that sea slugs are kept as pets, so why not carry that over?
I went along with this decision because the Jellyfish are well-known to live amongst the inklings/octolings. Obviously, they aren't considered pets, but both happen to appear in games as shopkeepers/NPCs. Also because they're both freaking cute.
It’s kind of hard to determine what species are considered pets in Splatoon since most sea creatures have evolved and now have normal lives as people. I could, of course, slap any creature as "Chao" and just go with it. But what species would that be?
Shiver has a pet shark named Master Mega. Meanwhile, the Bottom Feeders has a member who is a shark named Jawn??? WHAT-
Obviously, there's Little Buddy and Agent 3, but I don't want the Chao to represent Smallfrys/Salmonids since they are the main antagonists of Salmon Run.
Anne, Flow (who is a sea slug..), and Harmony have creatures that coexist on their heads because it associates the symbiotic relationship between both species. I made most of the Sonic characters to be cephalopods because they are the main playable species of Splatoon.
Anyways, uh, "Where exactly does Chaos fit in this situation, is he also a jellyfish?" idk. "Is he the Great Zapfish since Knuckles protects it??" idk. "Who are the idols?" Chaos.
