On this day 14 yrs ago
@Mr_Popgun
asked me to be his girlfriend. A lot has happened in 14 yrs. But I’m especially grateful for the family we’ve built with Moose and now little PJ. I love our little family so much. I’m glad we made what was a dream back then, a reality. ♥️
With 191 teams signed up for low ink at registrations end, low ink is in for a record breaking weekend in probably more ways than one. While this is very exciting, please remember this can be very overwhelming for the staff who are volunteering their time to run this. Please be
Bruh I’m 1990 and just had my first. I could not have done this at 20-25 (ages of years listed below). If you want kids take all the time you need. If you don’t want kids that’s cool too.
It’s been real Texas. I’m so happy to have had the chance to attend LTC before the Popguns become a family of 4 (of course I include our doggo). Spending time with all the friends I’ve made online the last few years was the best way to spend my last kid free vacation for a while.
I can’t believe I’m already over halfway through this pregnancy. At times it’s felt long, but we’re less than 20 weeks away from meeting our little guy 💙
Want to wish a very happy birthday to
@Mr_Popgun
! I know you don’t make a big deal out of your birthday. But you’re a big deal to me, moose, and Popgun jr and we all hope you have a great birthday! We’re so happy you were born this day many eons ago. 😝
Support Player Support Club where we talk about the following:
- +1 anything but support
- do you play Nzap?
- slayer dies before armor
- blackbelly
- no one else is paying attention to objective
(Please feel free to add your own topics I’d love to see this be a thread lol)
It can be frustrating when people call specific weapons “brain dead weapons” or “easy”. Especially when you really struggle and fight to be good at said weapons. Just because it comes easily to you doesn’t mean it’s the same for everyone.
Can we talk about how at least two sticks players made low ink top 8 today? That’s insane to me. I couldn’t imagine playing at that level without motion controls.
I’m excited that Splat is back at Genesis. I remember MrPopgun coming home (his first splat lan) and raving about how we needed to attend as many as possible. However it’s highly unlikely the Popfam will be able to attend Genesis. Trying to attend LTC (which would likely only 1/3

@Plicklice
and
@suupernova__
you all were amazing teammates! And thank you Launchpoint staff for all your hard work hosting this event!
Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes! I really have the best gift this year in little PJ. But I’m so grateful for this community and all the love and kindness I’ve encountered and the friends I’ve made here. 💜
Good luck today to all the low inkers! Friendly reminder for the winner suggestions that my husband isn’t a prize option and I will fight you for him 😊
As a gentle remind to those traveling to riptide: take care of yourself! Drink water, get (some) rest, & try to squeeze in some healthier meals occasionally. It’s tempting to stay up 24/7 & eat junk/fast food. But that all affects how you feel & how you play if you’re competing.
For those of you watching the Popcast, who
@Mr_Popgun
teased with baby outfits, I’m here to deliver the adorableness. With a lovely Hobbes toy for size, made for us by a very dear friend 💜
Not gonna waste time telling kids that adults can be on splat twitter but you do realize that if it weren't for adults you wouldn't have 95% of tournaments and comp material/databases right?
As many of you know for the last almost 2 years, I have been playing with detached joycons. I am happy to say, that I played this ENTIRE day of low ink with pro controller. I have finally made the switch.

I’ve always looked up to
@rissahi
as a female competitive support player. She was one of the first women I saw playing higher level competitive Splatoon and that was really cool to see as someone not only new to Splatoon but also to competitive gaming in general. 💜
If there are people you look up to and you don’t feel like you tell them enough, use this message as the opportunity to do so. Let’s spread positivity today! c:

Isn't Libra just adorable?🥰
We'll be handing these as stickers at Splatoon LANs going forward!
Thank you to the amazing
@sketchcacti
who brought Libra to life! Go give them some love 💕
Making top 16 at Riptide was honestly such a good feeling. Although we didn’t get to go to far we had two really close and competitive sets. I had so much fun playing with Powerpuff Squids! Thank u for the good vibes and good times!

To everyone who always tries to win my husband as a prize for low ink, this is what you’d be signing up for-threats to steal your food and a bottomless pit of a stomach.
Making Alpha Bracket for our last time under the name Tunaverse felt right. It felt like it honored the name and time we spent as Tunaverse. I'll miss the old name, but I'm excited for what the future has in store.
🌊The last shuttle has left the building marking the end of this year's Riptide. Thank you all who enjoyed the event with us, in person and at home. See you next year!
It's always "we need a slayer sub" never "we need a support sub." Support being true to their name and showing up for tourneys lol

I had the opportunity to see Taylor Swift perform in Chicago this weekend. It was a really fun show and we had incredible weather. But I’ve decided Popgun Jr’s favorite Taylor Swift song was Karma because he kicked me through the whole song.
I live and die by something my HS band director told me: "if you're five minutes early you're on time, if you're on time you're late, and if you're late you're forgotten." Therefore I'm always stressed out when organizing 4 other people for a team event.

Note: it’s in near perfect physical condition but the battery life is shot and it’s mega slowwww
(Going to Genius Bar tomorrow cause I’m computer issues illiterate)

I want to thank everyone for their kind words of support and encouragement today surrounding minnow cup! It’s a busy time of year and a busy competitive splat season and although we faced barriers knowing you all had fun makes it all worth it! 💕
Took 1st Place in Silver Bracket of LPDC 7: Ink Odyssey with The Tragic School Bus. Couldn’t have done it without my cracked teammates

! Ggs everyone!
I don’t want to go back to S2. But what I takeaway from this is that we need to me mindful and patient with our TOs. The game being glitchy means tourneys are going to be rough and buggy for a while. TOs are going to have to make tough and unpopular calls on the fly. Stay kind 💜
Ngl I was about to write a thread about why right now we should swap back to S2 for comp. The game hasnt even been out a week so ill give it more time. For now I will leave it to this:
If things don't change in the right direction soon, we may need to go back to S2 for comp.
@Stargirl_114
👋 I played comp from 2020-2023. Taken a retirement recently due to having a baby. But still hanging around the scene and plan to go to lans and such in the future.
Hi friends! I’m taking a brief break from some of my captain responsibilities at the moment. I’ll still be playing but, if you’re looking to schedule a scrim with Pier Pressure in the next few weeks, please message Spicy
