What does "iida" mean in Japanese?

Her Japanese name comes from the word for the webfoot octopus (イイダコ Iidako).

Every time I see Marina's octopus arm hair I get hungry. I haven't eaten octopus in ages.

I don't think anyone has hair in this game.

Yeah, apparently the Japanese translation is full on implying that Pearl got Marina into the Idol scene - which, given the amounts of discrimination she would have had to endure...

The twist is that Callie has a significant other and is trying to hide it from the paparazzi.

And Cap'n Cuttlefish, if it's an Octarian.

Brothers, plural.

They're getting a Zelda switch bundle each. Splatoon 2 for their birthdays in August.

Books? Worldbuilding?

Is this a famous (in indie circles) guy?

I'unno about famous, but he's p popular. A lot of his raunchier stuff is basically to get more followers - the stuff he actually goes with is more like this:











His books are filled with landscape and interior shots, it's a hoot to go through the details. But mostly I buy his stuff because of the Korpiklaani references he puts in everything - he's an enormous music nerd.

That cover in particular is really neat. And it sounds like he's a huge nerd (in a positive sense) in general. I was mainly impressed that his twitter has fanart of the loving powerpunk girls of all things. It's crazy how even the most obscure poo poo can reach the other side of the world nowadays.

If you're got a way to order stuff from Japan, his booth profile's over 'ere:

https://yutaagc.booth.pm/

Tidepool 1's basically a story about how two lovers best friends ended up adopting and raising a kid - Inkling got bribed into it with a Regressive rock CD.

Tidepool 2's a story about how the raging lesbians bitter rivals met - They ended up in a death-or-glory fight during the Inkling's tenure as Agent 3. Melon bread was also stolen.

Tidepool 3's an explanation as to where the orphan came from.

The salvage book is an artbook collab, but it's essentially Splatoon crossed over with Ico, Overwatch, Zelda, Star Fox, MGS, Bio shock and Akira.

I was also hoping to get stuff from NanaGreenTeam, but he doesn't sell his stuff anymore. It looks like he took his Splatoon OCs and made an Office RomCom out of them.

edit: Oh gently caress, He's doing advertisements with them

e: And that's another round of translating. All the stuff I seem to get characterises Marina as some pure, innocent goddess and Pearl as her blushing, screaming straight-man. Who constantly utters the refrain 'You're not going to turn me into a lesbian, you're not going to turn me into a lesbian' like it's a Sutra under her breath.

Haven't seen much western stuff, though. Presume Marina's enormously sarcastic?
