Salmonids job tree

[white timber]

Do you think the same?

I think this is how Salmonids grow up

[mental nexus]

uhm well idk much about salmonids however iirc goldies have high ranks in salmonid society, so definitely not starting off as such, also salmonids get different ranks depending on how hard their lives are so its likely smallfries are adults

and now i have no source for this but i heard that like, snatchers are rookies? and that the fish on fish sticks are baby stingers? thats all i vaguely know, im sure someone more knowledgeable could correct me

uhm if i am right then what i have mentioned does agree with the chart for the most part

[white timber]

Yeah, the fish stick smallfries with the best breath are selected to be stingers, and also snatchers that collected a lot of golden eggs on the battlefield get promoted to chums

So I included that in

[mental nexus]

yea

[white timber]

But I don’t understand why you say smallfries are adults, there are litterally chums but younger and they have a spoon, which make me think of children for some reason

[mental nexus]

hm well i was always under that impression since they said they climb the ranks by having harder lives or sumn, but after going over that chart again it seems you probably know more about salmonids so yk

its like i know splatoon lore but its been so long that its beginning to blend together

[white timber]

I didn’t know they climb ranks like that

[tame sonnet]

I remember the smallfries being adults too

They are already trying to stop us from getting they kids it would be foolish to send more children to the battlefield to get slaughtered

[white timber]

Maybe the smallfries are very youngs warriors trying to prove themself for the first time on the battlefield then

I really think smallfries are children salmonids: for exemple the Salmonids on a fish stick are smallfries, and it’s said in the grizzco book that smallfries with a good breath or something can become stingers later. Considering stingers are the size of a chum, it means salmonids grow in size as they get older. And since smallfries are super small, they are definitely children

[desert creek]

big shots are steelheads but they don't want to directly harm people so i doubt they'd go to cohozuna

also a griller isn't a salmon, it's octarian tech established that they traded with octarians for

[mental nexus]

there are salmon in it, their tails are the weak spot

silly

[desert creek]

and i would personally separate boss salmons as a whole too

[desert creek]

so then wouldn't it just be a regular salmon and not a boss?

[mental nexus]

btw there are no chinooks on the chart

[mental nexus]

they are being grilled alive, and since they vary via hard lives i would consider them boss salmonid
also like iirc the training manual treats them as such so

[white timber]

You can see a fish tail at the back of it, it’s controlled by a salmonid of the size of a chum

[white timber]

The flying guys from the mothership?

[mental nexus]

yea

[desert creek]

no like the grillers ARE bosses but it would be better to put random salmons in there instead of ones specifically trained to do special tasks

[white timber]

I guess they are just chums

[desert creek]

manual calls them chinooks

[mental nexus]

by that logic you cant consider grillers their own thing

[desert creek]

so then they're not

[mental nexus]

uh they arent boss salmonid but they definitely deserve their oen spot

the chinooks i mean

[white timber]

I just forgot them on the chart tbh

[desert creek]

grillers should just stem off the chum and chinooks stem off the snatcher

both snatchers and chinooks fly

[mental nexus]

i think before jumping to that conclusion you should examine their appearance

[desert creek]

snatchers and chum look the same

both fly

[white timber]

Agreed, but for the griller, since it’s said that grillers are the pinnacle of salmonid artillery, I thought only trained Salmonids could pilot it, like drizzlers, steel eel…

[desert creek]

and both carry golden eggs

[mental nexus]

but usually they have key details that go unnoticed under normal gameplay

[desert creek]

would assume that since most chums undergo special training to be scrappers that grillers have their own special training and are just another branch of chum

[white timber]

Okay

[desert creek]

would you care to tell me one of these

[mental nexus]

i dont know, however i know there are

thats why im suggesting such

just, not me

too lazy

[desert creek]

so you're assuming and claiming that there must be

[white timber]

I think they make the same sounds

[desert creek]

thanks for the input

[mental nexus]

thats not my point, ive seen them up close i couldn't tell you off the top of my head

if your gonna do a precise chart you cant just do it on the fly

[white timber]

It’s the sound of a squizzed mouse

[desert creek]

so build an argument before you respond????

[mental nexus]

i never built an argument

[desert creek]

ok

so then what we said is fine

[mental nexus]

you can continue the chart but in the future im just saying that it may need to be modified

its more of a disclaimer i guess

smh smh so defensive for no reason

talk about annoying

[white timber]

Btw on the chart I put maws after flipper-flopper but honestly I’m not sure at all. Their pink skin colour is very weird and confusing

[desert creek]

flipper flopper and maws seem two different things they just function mildly similarly

[tame sonnet]

Maws is maws

[white timber]

• apparently maws are female, which is even more confusing

[desert creek]

are you saying salmonoids can't be female? omg cancelled

[white timber]

NO but what I’m saying is that I made a mistake by placing maws with flipper-flopper

[mental nexus]

yeah maws is like

very different from flippeer flopper

they both enter ink however it seems literally anything can, theres even a little comic of lil buddy drooling salmonid ink and then submerging in it

[desert creek]

where's the comic from

[white timber]

They still have similarities. The hability to swim in ink and inability to stand on their feet. I mean they don’t have feet but you know what I’m trying to say

[mental nexus]

the artbook

[desert creek]

i keep forgetting the s3 one already released

[white timber]

If any salmonids could enter in ink, then they will all do that but they don’t, it doesn’t make sense

[white timber]

i n e e d i t

[mental nexus]

cough gameplay purposes

i mean, entire crates go in ink

master mega goes in ink

mines can go in ink (ill admit they are made of ink)

[magic flume]

Sorry for ping but Goldies were referred to as females in the dutch translation of Splatoon 2. Just for your fun information.

[mental nexus]

i think that they dont necessarily need to be female
the maws at least

like

people call big scary or dangerous things "she" sometimes

[white timber]

And here we go again

[desert creek]

and the british referred to their country as 'her'
as they did the navy
and the army

[mental nexus]

i could see goldies all being female but

idk the intricacies of salmonid lore

[magic flume]

I prefer them being referred to as female cuz my goldie oc is female. I do fine the Goldies feminine in a way as well. Then again i kinda contradict myself with this artpeice.

[mental nexus]

you sure do have a particular artstyle
