You know you play too much Splatoon when:

[sevenleaf]

when you walk over a big drain grate irl and think, "hm, better stay in humanoid form so i don't fall through here" and you're genuinely not sure if that thought was a joke or not...

more than once.........

I JUST DID THIS THE OTHER DAY I rarely go to the city and it took me a while to realize why I was feeling vaguely uncomfortable whenever we had to walk over the grates.

Also our dishwasher makes weird noises sometimes that my brain has occasionally interpreted both as the booyah bomb start-up sound and the reefslider start-up sound and it still makes me snap to attention every time and then I feel very silly.

I played Fortnite for the first time in years recently and held ZL expecting to swim

 

[youre_a_squib_now]

when you see a real life object and think of the Splatoon equivalent instead of the other way around
"oh look a recycled brella! in real life!"
"...wait"

 

[neonscreenlight]

i saw the phrase "till death do us part" yesterday and my first thought was the song by deep cut

When you start craving Salmon and keep going to a Salmon Aquarium to collect the eggies.

 

[Cephalobro]

When you start imagining any place, whether real life or virtual how it's covered in ink.

This is legitimately what I started imagining for Clock Town from Majora's Mask 3D even before I got Splatoon 1, as I was so eager to get the game, but made sure to finish Majora's Mask 3D first.

 

[Catloafman]

When you call a Pen a Ballpoint when before you played splatoon you just called it a pen

 

[Mp3]

When you go shopping and find a shirt you like and ask the person at the register to raise its star power

 

[DzNutsKong]

Recently when I got to playing Smash with a friend for the first time in a while, as the first few matches started, I began by holding the trigger button to ready a Stamper vertical slash. My main in Smash also has a move you need to charge at the start but I was just holding shield for a second instead like an idiot

My volunteer job designates our positions by number, starting with One and ending with Eight. I'll hear the numbers called and think of the Agents.

 

[Suchi]

I tried saying "platoon" in a context entirely unrelated and it came out as "splatoon"

 

[Arigato!]

When your brain interprets someone drowning as squid language.
When you crave octopus for no reason, just trying to taste 8.
When you want Global Warming to speed up just so the Squid Sisters can exist.

 

[Grushi]

When you want Global Warming to speed up just so the Squid Sisters can exist.

Stan culture is out of control

 

[OnePotWonder]

...You have the banner, badges, and titles you actually want to use for your splashtag.

 

[youre_a_squib_now]

when you're thinking out loud and you equip your headphones (instead of doing something silly like "putting them on" or whatever that is)

When painting IRL becomes fun. Random shout out to my fellow cowboy hat user @Suchi

 

[How•SweeT!]

When you see somebody who kinda looks like a inkling/octoling and randomly tell them “booyah!!”

…hence the weird silence

[mellootron]

when you imagine a booyah bomb 1:1 ingame while youre trying to sleep
when the first thing you think of when you hear the word "shiver" is the octoling
