every single #Riptide tops the last. it is so hard to say how much everyone and everything means to me, there are no words for how lucky I feel but I cannot stress enough how thankful I am to have so many wonderful friends, cheering for me, laughing with me and sharing moments with me. 💜

Thanks for everything, Splatoon comp scene. 💚

Another year, another Riptide has come and gone. This was my favorite one by a longshot. Riptide has been getting bigger and bigger, and since my first one in 2022, it's beautiful to see how it has evolved. Playing in each tournament with Thembo iHop to Healbook, it feels like I get comfortable with people I interact with and the community as a whole. I'm forever grateful for the opportunities both teams and the people gave me. And GGs to all we faced, especially tink, Dylan and Grape are good people. As for everyone else I usually hang with, they're great friends, and I'll always cherish them. I'm also grateful as the event was a gateway for gaining knowledge as an artist. Each year, especially this year, Riptide becomes a home to many artists, the vendors, the trading card project gave artists an outlet to express themselves. I've met many wonderful and talented people through those activities and hustles at the event. The vibes were fun, but for now I'll focus on what comes next for me...

I heavily waited the days for this event, the tourney too, knowing for since late 2025 that this would be my last tournament. Everytime I do play and compete at LANs it reminds me as to why I'll always love playing, but I cannot compete anymore. The game's state is where the better players will get better and those who understand will follow, as well. I feel like I've been

lacking for a good while, and it has impacted my skill even when I still enjoyed it. My mentality for improvement has always to face atrong players, but I realized the flaw in that is that it can easily stagnant, if I don't stay consistent as a competitor. I'm not a competitor, I just somehow managed to do competitive things. It sounds strange, but I am an artist at heart. I believe it's time to hang up the coat and pursue my creativity and get better with it. I hope to those who enjoy what I make stays with me on my art journey and what I do next in the future...And no, I'm not leaving the community. You'll see me still around, I just won't be grinding. I'll see y'all next year when there's a Riptide 2027.

I'm always grateful for all the people I've met throughout my comp journey, and to this day I'll always think about everyone of y'all. It'll always warm my heart to see players were inspired by me and I hope a majority of them surpass what I did. Keep going y'all and thank you for everything.

Riptiders - I’m selling this official Nintendo Splatoon hoodie at Riptide. It’s a unisex size Medium but is too small for me (5ft 10in). Wore it twice. Bought it for $50 + tax and selling for $50 flat. DM here or discord if you are interested!

So I’m sure a lot of you are wondering what in the world splatbooks.ink actually is. Let me explain the reasoning behind making this, how it can be useful for the scene as a whole, and how you can support me in this project. My hope is for the whole comp scene to benefit from this, for any role.
