i am new to the splatoon community, could you explain the origins of splat tim? i see him everywhere and i wonder what he truly does
so back in the splatoon 1 days, there was a cats vs. dogs splatfest. the squid research lab posted this promo image for the fest
now, much like the modern era, no one cares about the catgirls. its all about the dogboys. on july 6th 2015, instagram user marble.soda posted the very first depiction of tim, though he was unnamed
eleven days later, on july 11th, twitter user cloesy (who has since deactivated or changed usernames, because the old link to the tweet is broken) reposted marble's image with the first instance of the name "splat tim"
finally, on august 3rd, twitter user mcbedtime (whose tweet still exists as of posting this) tweeted the first instance of the "he does it" catchphrase with a mockup game cover for splat tim
from there on, he began to spread. twitter, instagram, tumblr, reddit, deviantart- he does it any and everywhere. such is the story of our hero, splat tim
It's kinda funny how memes became similar to fashion or music trends, and you can associate their span with episodes of your life.
The other day, I had this show up on a thread I was browsing and I would've never expected this dumbass jpeg to make me reminisce of so many memories 9 years after I've first seen it.
I'm back after Palette Week hiatus (its tough to do specific colors on paper, with limited pencils).
For this prompt, I'm replacing Splat Tim with Melany! Splat Lany?
