Happy 10th anniversary to Splatoon, the game series that ruined my life!
....ruined my life but in the good way<3 ive met several of my closest friends, and have had so many experiences i wouldnt have otherwise had all because of this game. here's to many years more of squid insanity. squidsanity. what's your favorite splatoon memory?

looking back on these past 10 years, one of my favorite splatoon moments has got to be going to Haicalive Kyoto Mix in 2019. yup. i got to see the squid sisters and off the hook in person. [image 2: photo i took just before the concert began. there was a strict no photography rule once the concert started]
i say im not crazy for the splatoon idols and yet. i was jumping to now or never. singing along to the gibberish. one of the most fun hours of my life. im sorry to flex on all the idol fans like this. *5 dozen idol fans surround me and start beating me with hammers*

[OBLIGATORY CHANNEL UPDATE] i wanted to have my next video done and out by the anniversary, but the script just kept getting longer. and longer. whoops. well the script is like 97% done and I started recording the audio today, so new video ACTUALLY coming soon i prommy. its a good topic.

happy 3rd anniversary to the greatest splatoon discovery of all time: jelfonzo's "FUCK YOU" shirt

this shirt led to a debate-heavy policy change on inkipedia, fans have recreated it irl and it's made appearances at LANs and official events, i got interviewed for a polygon article and a thomas game docs video because of it, and in the end, it stayed in the game for splatoon 3. incredible

hello. gamers. hope some of you guys enjoyed the recent direct! big congrats to tomodachi life truthers on the win

short update on my end:
i moved states over a month ago and am feeling pretty settled. been chillin for the past few weeks. work on my next lore video is currently in progress!
Also for anyone following me on other platforms, I'm officially done using twitter for posting artwork and splatoon artbook translations. I've been gradually migrating my twitter operations to bluesky, and I also use tumblr for answering questions, as well as for making longer-form posts and analyses about splatoon lore.
Pokemon actually revived its official tumblr last week (wild), and I'm hoping the splatoon tumblr will do the same? please??? Also with the big N already dropping news exclusively to the 'nintendo today' app, it looks like a sign that they too will move further away from twitter. still not calling it X btw.

anyway, go follow me on my other platforms!

Hello gamers. I am moving out of state in 3 weeks and am trying to offload some of my stuff and get some money to fund my move. I currently have a Japan concert-exclusive Squid Sisters towel up for auction, as well as some other assorted things up for grabs.

would be much appreciated if you check out my listings!
www.ebay.com/usr/rassicrab

EDIT-bidding for the towel has been moved off ebay to avoid seller fees. please private message me on twitter/X, Tumblr, or Bsky if you want to fight for it. current bid is at 180
Other items are available on ebay still!

(btw next video is in the oven and coming this month, 100%)

happy new year!
another channel update: i promise i'm not dead <3
Last month I'd been chipping away at some translations for the new artbook, BancalaWalker. For now, you can find these translations on my twitter/tumblr/bsky.
But I've paused my translations on the artbook for one reason only: to finish my next video!

this video is on a topic I've been wanting to cover for some years now, but it was too daunting. it's on a piece of lore that I'd call controversial... generally, it's not well understood or purposely ignored by much of the English speaking fanbase, but it's better understood on the Japanese side. any guesses?

I've been chipping away at it the past couple months, but have really Locked In this past week or so. The script, the hardest part, is almost done! Currently clocking in at over 12k words, it will be well over an hour of me digging up lore, explaining stuff, and connecting some dots, with a bit of speculation here and there. I'm aiming to have it out this month. i hope this will excuse this long dry spell between videos lol

did everyone have fun with grand fest<3
i was out on a trip this weekend and touching a lot of grass, so i wasn't able to play like absolute crazy like i otherwise would have. i also only got home last night, which is why i'm making this post a whole 2 days post-splatfest...
anyway i still made it to ruler. congrats to my fellow team past players!

in other personal and channel-related news, I just finished my time at language school. I came to japan and started school about a month after splatoon 3 started. that's one of the main reasons my uploads haven't been as frequent since S3 launched! that and making videos on a 7 year old laptop is kind of a miserable experience LOL.

Oh, there is a third reason...I've been waiting for S3 to end its update cycle because it is SO much easier to make videos when I can look back on information cumulatively. There's a few video ideas i've had to hold back on, because what if some new lore drops in an update or dev interview that explains the thing I was gonna make a video about? and now we know that the BankaraWalker artbook is coming out in december (artbook for side order and later s3 updates). If it's gonna be like HaikaraWalker, that means there's gonna be a lot of lore and worldbuilding tidbits, and i am SO excited. once that book comes out, i am going to read it and go crazy and i am going to COOK.

ANYWAY I have a month left in japan and I'm gonna enjoy it before i leave. tldr: school over + splatoon 3 done = channel revival coming soon
