However, the Splatoon games themselves have yet to feature anything related to Animal Crossing, though maybe we’ll see a Splatfest nearing AC’s release on the Switch.

** It doesn't seem there will be any other Octarians besides Marina performing, so that's partially jossed.
** The crowd having both Inklings and Octolings is confirmed; everyone who chooses Team Octoling will play as an Octoling for the Splatfest even if they haven't unlocked/don't play as Octolings. Likewise, Team Inkling will all be Inklings, even if they normally play as an Octoling otherwise.

** Gonna blatantly steal from Game Theory here, but squids IRL can perform some kind of forced speed-evolution by manipulating their genetics directly instead of the roundabout way that most animals use. That way squids could quickly evolve to, say, have a much smaller body and a suit of ink-armor that they can reshape and control at will.
* Rehashing what Game Theory said, but squids apparently have different rules where genetics are confirmed, and can change their genetics in response to stimuli. They probably couldn’t evolve to be made entirely out of ink in that short time regardless of their head-start, but evolving to be tiny (the ghost squid that appears when you’re splatted) and being able to reshape their ink into humanoid/squid forms seems like a possibility to me.
** And the ability to reshape their ink on command would also explain their humanoid forms - they saw human remains and copied them, with a few personal details thrown in.

** The only written text I’ve seen with any consistent relation to an existing language are the numbers, which are all rotated or otherwise warped - the three is written backwards and the 0 has a horizontal line in the centre, for example. It’s possible that Inklings found voice recordings and text from the human era, and integrated the words they could decipher into their own language.

[[WMG: Cap’n Cuttlefish is an actual cuttlefish.]]
He repeatedly mentions his ‘cuttlebones’ aching, and his body language shows that he has a bad back, but the cuttlebone is unique to the cuttlefish and squids don’t have any bones to ache. He’s also never seen in squid form, while Octavio uses his octo form and is clearly healthier for it - but that would make sense if Cuttlefish’s squid form is secretly a cuttlefish. Like squid, cuttlefish also have ink, and it would also explain his non-standard character design beyond merely being old. So he was put in the Squidbeak Splatoon, was betrayed by Octavio and decided that he’d pretend to be an Inkling rather than have suspicion turned on him for being a different race.

Datamines have shown that playable Octolings are in a state of planning/development further along then anything found in the first game. Presuming they become playable at some point, said Splatfest would be racially divided, with Pearl and Marina being the team leaders, respectively. This would act as a symbolic return of the Great Turf War, and would be a way to up the ante from the idol-worshiping final Splatfest of the first game. The result of this Splatfest would become canon as a way to bring Pearl and Marina into the story.

[[WMG: The "clothing" that Inklings wear is not actually just clothing]]
Although it is designed to ''look'' like human clothing, due to the Inkling's cultural fixation on things from the previous human civilation, it's actually quite different. It is actually special technology used to hold the humanoid form together and enhance its performance. Without any clothes, they either can't assume human form at all, or at least are very clumsy, slow, and fragile. Every piece of clothing they wear, down even to the simplest tee shirts and such, is actually made out of an advanced material that dissolves in ink and disappears when in squid form, yet reconstitutes itself when the wearer enters humanoid form and provides structural support to the body. This is all necessary to compensate for the fact that Inklings don't actually have bones. It also helps explains how even similar-looking sets of clothing may provide very different sets of stat buffs depending on the manufacturer.

[[WMG: water is actually harmless to inklings as long as they stay in kid form]]
Some characters make mention of showers despite inklings dissolving in water, the solution? they don't, it only affects the semi-solid squid mode(they can go through grates like they are air after all). you might ask "why would they go squid form when submerged when they know it's a really bad idea?" and to that i say instinct is the cause. Since the water-proof humanoid form is only accessible after becoming a teen, the only experience with moving in a liquid they have is as a squid, so when suddenly exposed to deep water they panic shift and then POOOF! presumably an inkling could be trained to resist this urge and then learn how to swim like us.
