Unanswered things in Side Order

After finishing Side Order, unlocking all the dev diaries, and getting/seeing what I believe is all dialogue lines, I still have several lore questions that never got answered. Figured I’d put em in a post for folks to either answer or speculate about :3

Major main game and post-game spoilers below:

If Acht willingly got sanitized like promotional material confirmed years ago during Octo Expansion’s release, why does Acht suggest that they were forcefully sanitized? One of their early game quotes says that “someone or something there took [their] will away” and that they “were forced to DJ for it”. The way I interpret this is that Acht suggests they were unwillingly sanitized (their final dev diary also kind of suggests this, especially in the art), but it could also be implying that Acht’s sanitization isn’t what they expected it to be…? It could also just be a lore retcon which would suck but. Yknow.

How and why is Acht in the Memverse to begin with? We know that they weren’t there when Pearl, Marina and Eight tested out Dramatic Days in Orderland for the first time, so were they pulled in by Order? If so, how long ago? And how did Marina not know they were in there?

What’s Acht been up to in between Octo Expansion and Side Order? How long after Tartar was defeated did Acht break out of sanitization?

Relating to the above kinda, Acht says they heard a voice that snapped them out of sanitization. It’s later implied to be Pearl’s killer wail in Octo Expansion (Acht later says “I just get the feeling I’ve heard Pearl’s voice before somehow”), but the conversation where it’s first brought up (and Marina talks about developing the Memverse to help sanitized Octarians) Marina says, “…since we’re having this conversation, that means it must’ve worked!” to which Acht replies, “Huh. So that was you, was it?” I could 100% be misinterpreting this but which is it? If it wasn’t Pearl, whose specific voice was it and how did Acht hear it? Also did they regain their pre-sanitization memories back instantly or did they never lose them (I haven’t memorized exactly how sanitization works tho I know it’s explained in Haikara walker). My understanding was that Acht heard Pearl’s killer wail and it snapped them out of sanitization because it killed Tartar, but now I’m not sure.

When were each of Acht’s dev diaries/letters written? The first two seem like they were written before Side Order (implying Acht could’ve been in touch with Marina before they got pulled in), and the final one is definitely after.

How did Acht get to the surface, like their final letter mentions?

Are Order and Smollusk the exact same entity? I know they kind of are but why do they act so different? And why does defeating Order causes it to “transform” into Smollusk? Could it be that Smollusk was an AI originally coded into the Memverse but it got corrupted because of Marina and the octoling’s desire for order?

When was Order created in the Memverse dev timeline? How long had it existed prior to Pearl, Marina and Eight testing it out?

What in the ever-loving FUCK is Parallel Canon? I’m half-joking in saying that and I do like how vague it is, but is it Agent 4 or just using their soul or likeness? The fact that we get its mask does NOT bode well for 4 I think

Does. Does Marina force sanitized Octarians to go through the Spire and fight the Jelletons to get their will/memories back. Do they have to fight Overlorder at the end why are we traumatizing them more-

Why the hell did Pearl and Marina shit on 4 for no reason at the beginning of the game that was so uncalled for 😭

Something that I think is hilarious about Splatoon 2 is that Marie just has the ability to create ink that can reverse the effects of brainwashing and that's just. Never elaborated on. And no one's questioned it. And it's never come up again in the series.

#like idk. this seems like a huge deal and no one ever talks about it including the devs LMAO #maybe it is explained in the artbook but I never saw anything in there about it iirc #speaklax #marie splatoon #callie splatoon #marie cuttlefish #callie cuttlefish #evil callie #splatoon 2 #splatoon #squid sisters

Welcome to Starvetober 2023, survivors!

It seems you’ve stumbled across The Constant’s own October art challenge! Can you survive for 31 days with these prompts? Sketch, draw, render, write-create in any way and at any effort you please! Whispers say Queen Charlie herself is watching this challenge with great interest...but most of all she wants everyone to enjoy themselves! See you in October!

Thank you to everyone who submitted prompts for this year! You all are the absolute best and you all had AMAZING ideas, genuinely! So much so in fact that most (but not all, haha) of these prompts are y’all’s! Not to mention there were so many others I wanted to use.

And just reiterating-create however you want for Starvetober! You can make a full art piece, sketches, or even write fics! Whatever makes you happy!

Also! To explain day 31 real quick, you get to choose! Simple as that, really. Thought it’d be appropriate for Halloween :3 (also thank you to the person that submitted both trick and treat, you’re the reason for it! <3)

That’s all from me! See you all on October 1st!

OKAY SO IM DRAWING WANDA RN AND I JUST NOTICED SOMETHING REALLY COOL ABOUT HER OLD SPRITES:

She has shadow hands in her hair!

I couldn’t find any in her back sprite, weirdly. Maybe I’m late to the party on this but this is a super cool detail I’m just now seeing!

Considering doing that 6 character art challenge but it’s characters that I think made me realize I was a furry

#idk. I think it’d be fun LOL #might also do a think where I ask you guys which ones you think made me a furry and do it that way #that might be more fun actually. maybe I’ll do both as a comparison LOL #speaklax #furry #delete later #<maybe

Yall. I just realized.

Frye has a Venus comb on her head, right?

Of course it has the spiny look of bones, but-Venus combs are actually a species of sea snail!

So by wearing a Venus comb on her head, Frye is actually kinda wearing the skeleton of a snail on her head, at least in Splatoon terms! Kinda cool!

Has anyone ever tried to reach out to the VAs behind the Splatoon idols to try and get interviews with them?

I feel like that would be a fascinating watch if someone was ever able to do that with one of them. I know Alice and Rina (Marina and Pearl’s VAs, respectively) livestream regularly and make YT content but a full-on interview with them, the Squid Sisters’ or Deep Cut’s VAs would be SO cool to watch. I don’t know about anyone else but I would love to see their perspective on the idols, story things and just voice acting in general. Not to mention I’d love to know more about behind the scenes Splatoon stuff, like what it’s like singing the songs and how Nintendo found a lot of the VAs (or vice verse, idk how it works).

#I also imagine Nintendo would have to approve of something like this first but GOD. I would kill for someone to interview one of them #like imagine if it was revealed that keity.pop’s (Callie’s VA) fav idol was Marie the drama would be SO REAL #speaklax #squid sisters #off the hook #deep cut #Splatoon 3 #splatoon #callie splatoon #marie splatoon #pearl houzuki #marina ida #shiver hohojiro #frye onaga #big man splatoon
