Intro post; this is my personal & gen. fandom profile!
I’m a recent illustration grad, looking to get a degree in 3D animation next.

If you’re interested in my pearlina/splatoon-centric stuff, i’m on Tumblr as ‘squidthusiast’ ✌️

Reporting in. Still doing the character flats. Discovered how annoying Grand Fest Big Man is to color. Becoming his number one hater (for legal reasons, this is a joke)

I am... STILL NOT OVER THESE SIDE ORDER DIALOGUES! The fact that the only time that Pearl feels SCARED OR TERRIFIED?! ITS SITUATIONS WHERE HE MIGHT LOSE MARINA.

PEARL ADORES MARINA SO MUCH!!!! JUST!! THESE SIDE ORDER MOMENTS 😭😭✨️✨️✨️✨️

showgirl

“This is where we keep our costumes.” Marina throws open the double doors, deep in the basement, to show Acht the large storage room, resplendent with uplighting that Marina wired herself, glass cases, perfectly pressed and steamed costumes stored on dress forms. A reverse chronological account of their lives in mockups and preserved fabrics, all kept in climate-controlled ease, all with enough memories that Pearl can’t help but smile as she steps past the pinned-up mockup of her world tour jacket.

“Some of them we had to buy back,” Marina continues, ghosting her hand over the glass case that’s protecting their Chaos and Order costumes. “They auction them. For charity. It’s in our contract.”

Acht hums, unreadable, chewing through that. “Okay,” they say, followed closely by a string of language that Pearl doesn’t understand. She doesn’t let it get to her, even though she considers herself fluent in Octarian. Well, in reality, she’s more fluent in Marina, with a little Eight thrown in. Apparently neither one of them likes slang.

Still, Marina laughs and shoves Acht fondly, jostling them enough that their overlarge sweater slips off one shoulder.

“Guess I am a bit of a showgirl,” Marina giggles. “You always said I was too dramatic for the army.”

Acht chuckles and moves to the end of the line to get a better look at their first costumes, from back when they were independent and playing clubs and malls—the ones worth both nothing and more than Pearl could ever say. Marina’s arm lands around Pearl’s middle, tentacle wrapping around her shoulders.

“Showgirl?” Pearl asks, feeling the word out. She thinks she’s got the meaning, compound word, similar enough to its Inkling cousin.

“Performer,” Marina explains, “a little derogatory, unnecessary extravagance, someone who’s voice is worth too much. It was a joke.”

Pearl snorts. “If anything, your voice is worth more—”

Marina giggles, high and chiming, and her tentacle curls possessively around Pearl’s ear. “Yours too.”

She always says that, because Pearl’s voice is what brought them together, but it’s Marina’s music that sealed the deal. “We should raise our rates,” Pearl reasons, a conclusion that makes Marina chortle again. “C’mon, before Acht opens a case and sets off the alarm.”

“Ah!” Marina yelps, and rushes off to stop her friend from doing just that.

squabble

The make up almost makes the argument worth it. Almost. Pearl crawls into bed at close to three in the morning, sullen faced and flushed, cute in her frilly pajamas, and Marina doesn’t look up from her laptop. She doesn’t really remember what they were arguing about—a rhythm, she thinks, maybe, a syncopated triplet that Pearl decided to die for. It’s never really about the rhythm; it’s always something else, and Marina thinks that this time it’s Pearl noticing how late Marina comes to bed, now that she’s got this new project to work on, how exhausted she is in the studio and at the piano.

“Gonna sleep,” Pearl mutters—not an apology, but Marina isn’t ready to apologize yet either, so. “Turn off the light.”

Marina does her one better. She closes her laptop and sinks down into the pillows next to her. Pearl watches her, muted, unreadable, but scoots closer when Marina lays a careful hand on her side. “We’re keeping the triplet,” Pearl grumbles, right into Marina’s face.

“Relationships are full of compromises,” Marina hums in return, an acquiescence that makes Pearl squint. “I’ll come to bed by two.”

Not early enough for Pearl’s liking, but Marina doesn’t like the syncopation in this particular song. Pearl scowls and elevates up onto her elbow. “Fine. Can we kiss now?”

Marina chuckles and pulls Pearl down.

PEARLINA MONTH!! DAY 1 PROMPT!

First Love, First Sight!

Based in our story @jaytek.bsky.social and I! "Hooked on to You"

#pearlina / #pearlinamonth / #pearlhouzuki / #marinaida

Here is a scene of Hooked on to You story.

The scene depicts Pearl and Marina when they were both in the Octo Domes and snuggling together in Marina's headquarters. Both looking at each other and snuggling as their Loving gaze falls with each other.

Pearl looking at Marina with pure Love as Marina also is looking at Pearl with pure Love.

I decided to challenge myself to write a flash fiction piece every day of October. Day 1/31:

darker mornings

Marina barely believed it, the first time she realized what was happening. “The planet really is tilted…” she muttered to herself, in that small, sweet, wondrous voice that Pearl loved to hear. It put things into perspective, all the tiny things that she took for granted, like the leaves changing on the trees, the frosted tips of the grass in the morning, the shorter days, the shiver that quivered Marina’s whole body.

Marina didn’t have any of that, where she came from. And she muttered her wonder in a language Pearl could understand, just so Pearl could share in her awe.

It doesn’t change, years later, when they curl up together in bed and watch the rain meander down the windows in large rivulets. It’s not cold enough for the fleece blankets, but it’s getting close, and Marina presses her mouth to the shell of Pearl’s ear and mumbles, “the mornings are darker now...” It’s small, sweet, wondrous, and enough to make Pearl shiver.
