I don’t know really, I just wanted to make inkling and salmon characters that were friends? I didn’t have this big moment where it all came together, at the time I was really bad at making ocs I cared about and stuck with. I just thought “I want to make a salmon oc named Cornbread who is boring” and then later “I want him to have a cool friend named Macaroni”. I was afraid of pairing them up romantically at first, because I was still new to Splatoon. But it was always in my mind since I made them, I’m glad with how they turned out!
