IM SO SO GLAD YOU ASKED BC I CAN FINALLY BE AUTISTIC ABOUT THEM YIPPEE!!!!!

so it basically goes like this. Sami is an octoling that was a victim of Kamabo, and lost her memories as a result. bc she used to be a more behind-the-scenes soldier, she didnt do all the tests to get her memcakes back, so she ended up escaping with a very spotty memory and just like. lived that way until Marina contacted her after the events of Side Order to be all "hey we worked out all the kinks in the Memverse do you wanna try and get your memory back" and Sami kinda leapt at the opportunity since doing the Spire seemed a lot less dangerous than being blended into paste/exploded a bunch of times. she's also a bit of a robotfucker/objectum kinda gal ("its a surprise tool that'll help us later!" /ref)

ANYWAY. during her runs through the Spire she ended up fighting Parallel Canon (which at this point is probably just?? randomised inkling appearances rather than being based on Agent 4) but there was a kind of glitch where it was like. ok so yknow how sometimes when you play a game and an enemy goes outside its bounds and it just doesnt do anything/doesnt react??? thats what happened with the Parallel Canons. when it happened Marina was like "oh i. didnt know that could happen. oh well as long as they wont hurt ppl or anything??" since i like to think that the Parallel Canon can replicate itself (which is how it makes the Bald drone Parallels)

the first one to get "glitched" was .PNG, or "Enji" (the one with the Banger hairstyle). Enji is the really affectionate one and got REAL attatched to Sami. it also somehow found a way to change it's eye colour (this is also the one i wrote a fic about, which i'll link in the comments below this tweet)

"Jape", or .JPG (Topknot), was the next one to get "glitched". its a bit more submissive than Enji, but it likes to be more of a giver than a reciever. it REALLY likes to eat out Sami (which. idk how that happens with the whole mask thing going on. but maybe i'll write a fic about it. goop and tentacles WILL be involved though) and lovessss to be bossed around a lil. Sami sitting on Jape's face :heart_hands: god bless

then there's .GIF "Fig"!! (Bedhead. yes i know its a splat3 hairstyle no i do not care). the dent in its mask is from when Sami fought it and it tripped and bashed its face in on accident lol. Fig was ok ofc, bc of the whole "metal mask for a face" thing, so it was no biggie. Fig is a bit of a brat though... teehee... it likes to push and push and push at Sami's (and the other Parallels') patience until they snap and "punish" it, and then revels in the satisfaction afterwards...

and last but not least, there's "Vee", .WAV (Wavy)!! Vee is a sweetheart. Vee loves to spoil and be spoiled by the others. Vee also loves to be VERY noisy - humming, beeping, booping, and of course whatever the robot equivalent of moaning is dsjfhbgd. its also very clingy towards Sami, sometimes a little too much so (leading to some VERY fun times being pinned against a wall)

all in all, they get on pretty well with each other!! especially when they gang up on Sami together~
