Dance festival specific clothing for a region where thaumaturges and Mermaids live together.
A spin on a local mermaid dance, where they thrown each other out of the water and perform spins and other various acrobatics.
As years pass and the two cultures meet and costumes take different shapes, thaumaturges started trying to join Mermaids by extending walkable platforms across the rivers where they normally dance, started out as small wooden planks and eventually turned into elastic ropes.
The dance is formally preformed by 2 thaumaturges and 4 Mermaids. For the thaumaturges it involves stretching and pulling the rope be it horizontally or vertically, jumping swinging that sort of stuff. Movements vary depending on the music. They also pull the ropes all the way from one side to another to open space for the mermaids while they jump. Mermaids jump out of the water and do acrobatics as usual, but they use the ropes as well, to propel themselves but to also catch their falls. Usually a Mermaid is always left in the water to help their mates back up out of it if necessary if not they are with the thaumaturges on the ropes.
Both of them wear clothes with lots of small strings and fabric to follow their movements, there exists ocassion-specific clothing that celebrates a certain event/ocassion but they all follow the same principles of flowy garments at the extremities and middle of the body. They cant be too long tho, so that they dont get caught up on anything while performing.
Music, again, varies depending on the ocasion but its very similar to brazillian samba, theres lots of stuff happening at the same time during a performace so a strong rhythm is very important. Dance is normally not accompanied by vocals/lyrics but if it is its normally sang by the dancers.
in my mind they are like a trio of some kind
alternates and "originals"
Doodle of the sillies
Very serious post abt my very serious ocs
Cringe and free so heres the squid sisters and off the hook designs for if they were part of my worldbuild thing
Callie and Marie are both Sorcerers weirdly tied by destiny and also by being cousins, they are ehh midly powerfull. They complement each other very well by being natural specialist on oposite magic fields. They are singers on the side, and idols in more of the sense that Sorcerers are Always Known. They makes songs reminiscent of pre-apocalypse popular songs, their songs and the songs they are trying to replicate are almost nothing alike lmao so sorry, they improved the genre tho their music is much better
Pearl is a angel-inhabited Conjurer and also Augur but she is like terrible at that lmao. Marina is a mermaid that has gigantism and is terribly at shape shifting, she also has a deep interest in Augury and thats how she and Pearl bond at the start, by talking insane things abt hypothetical beings inside computers. They make music using Oracle archives of pre-apocalypse songs (terrible idea, the oracles are sending them their own songs basically lol)
Dump of epiphany drawings of a possible story to introduce Maria, ill probably overhaul all of this bc most of it makes no sense and its there bc it looks cool
Feat unamed ocs with designs i made in 0.5 seconds ill make them cool later rn its vibes only
Their dynamics is fun
edit: i forgot this was in portuguese lmao anyways Maria is telling Iris to shut the fuck up
GOOD LIRD I FINALLY FINISHED THIS
Finnally a proper references for my agent headcanons hurray. “Nakey” version + other info under the cut (looking you with eyes, you will read everything)
Timeline for this is Sara and Cube post RotM, Mars and Eight with their splat2 outfits but beginning of splat3 appearences (i was too lazy to come up with clothes lol)
Sara
-23 years old
-Top left side of her head is permanently scared due to direct contact wih sanitized ink. Has permanent blury vision on her left eye, moderate hearing loss on her left ear and pain on her left shoulder.
-His hands and feet got hit by significant amounts of fuzzy ooze while cutting it all down. This is why he wasnt able to keep going 👍 (no bones for an ankle to be broken uknow)
-Says the most unserious of things in the most serious tone, seems like theyre joking but its always from their heart
-Sees themselves a lot in Cube and takes care of it and gives it advice contantly. Offered Cube to go live with them after their mission was over but Cube refused
-Knows a little bit of octarian, hes trying his best but has a unique way of mispronouncing words
Mars
-22
-Very clumsy during his 1st time as an agent so he has lots of scars because of that
-Scars on his right side are from a bomb explosion gone very wrong
-After splat2 she grew her hair out and styled it to match Maries a bit
-Lives in a shared apartment with Sara and sometimes Eight
-Was catching up with her high school missed agent years and is now studing some general science/space-based course 👍 he like space a lot
-Was very mad and very upset and very sad he was not the one choosen to be sent into space to save the earth
-Fluent in octarian, also knows a bit of salmonling
Eight
-22
-Her weird spots are a reaction from perlonged exposure to a sanitized environment, the bigget her spots are the better, the smaller the worse. She sometimes wakes up with random pains, especially in her right arm and back
-Lives with Pearl and Marina post OE, also spents a loooottt of time at 4 and 3s place
-Fluent in inklish but has a funny accent
-Loves travelling with Pearl and Marina, honestly she loves travelling with anyone but her cool lesbian moms go to 100 places in a month so its a plus she gets to go with them for free
-Very good cook, is bad with deserts but shes getting better
Cube
-16
-Became a little furry tiger-ish inkling due to prolonged exposure to fuzzy ooze. Unlike Sara it is less fuzzy, its just spread all around its body
-Cannot change into squid form and produces ink very slowly in a small amount, limiting its capacitie of participating in ink related sports.
-Scavanged the deserts around splatsville for trinkets to sell in 2nd hand markets and fairs. Meet with Deep Cut once or twice during that period, hence their pre-assumption that it was gonna steal the stuff for itself
-In their free time they used to participate in turf wars. They considered doing salmon runs but found it extremelly wrong and immorall
-Little buddy was a salmonid that wanted to see more of the world so they snuck into, a very distracted, workers hat. Lucky for them that worker was very friendly, and tired of grizzcos work, so they showed little buddy all around splatsville and its deserts and even a beach. They quickly beacame friends and are inseparable now
-It knows salmonling wowow
-Maths fan, number one stan of geometry and shapes
-Tableturf card collector
-Lives in a too-big of an apartment with the squid sisters
-Goes to school now hurray!!
-Visits Sara a lot, doesnt spent much time there as Eight but does show up unannounced

Sara
About Mars; My friend, my one and only. I can count on her for everything. I do have to keep an eye out for her extreme clumsiness
About Eight; I wish i got to spent more time with her. Shes very fun and makes me feel at home when shes around.
About Cube; Was this how Callie and Marie felt when i joined the splatoon? Fun kid, has to stop stepping on metal.
Mars
Sara; oh Sara my good friend Sara. We ding dong ditch together, our neighbours hate us but they dont know that. (also i dont think she realizes were dating....)
Eight; oooo my love kiss kiss muah muah
Cube; funny kid, does need to make up for not inviting me to space with them. Im joking, i love it and the little rocks it gives me.
Eight
Sara; Hes very unserious! You would think behind her intimidating looks is someone thats shy and reserved but she has the wildests things to say sometimes, shes very funny i like her a lot (we need to talk to her abt that, you cannot keep assuming things Mars...)
Mars; There is not a single conversation with you where i dont laugh my heart out. Thank you for the butterflies in my stomach head and eyes
Cube; It comes into our house, it eats all the food, it gives a long detailed compliment, it leaves. Interesting child i guess.
Cube
Sara; Seemed very intimitading at first but i think shes just worries about me but hey! i can take care of myself fine
Mars; i like to give her animal shaped rocks and crystals.
Eight; I haven't talked or seen her a lot but she cooks so well
