THE MADLAD FINALLY DID IT archiveofourown.org/works/623595... #pearlina

Pearl and Marina from Splatoon kissing in an airport. Pearl is wearing sweats and flip flops, and Marina is in a seafoam green cropped hoodie and leggings with a roller bag for her flight. The top left of the image is a big manga-inspired zoom in of the kiss, complete with sparkles and shimmers.

Gotta Find Me a Future Part 1: Sunset (1/11) Please, please, please read it either on tumblr or through your web browser. The quality is so much better than on the blsky app. #Splatoon #Pearlina

A full page, full color comic cover.

Pearl stands in a dark bathroom. Behind her, there is a large, rectangular window that opens to the Inkopolis skyline; it is dawn and the sky is dark blue mixed with the teal and pink of sunrise. Pearl is underlit so her chin, neck, and hands are glowing gold. She is dressed in a black t-shirt, with her tentacles pulled back into a ponytail in the middle of her head, and has a solid black choker around her throat. She also has a silver metal chain looped around her neck, upon which a silver ring is strung. The ring is also silver and has turquoise stones inlaid on its surface. She is pulling the neck of her t-shirt out as if to stash the necklace and ring inside. At the top of the page, the title of the comic is written in white letters: Gotta Find Me a Future, Part One: Sunset.

A white page with black text printed on it. It reads:

SPECIAL THANKS
Ashe, Katie, and Rory
For helping make this comic a reality

A grayscale comic page.

Panel 1: A wide, thin panel that is framed so that we can see below Marina’s eyes but above Pearl’s. Marina is dressed in a white shirt and both characters have their tentacles pulled up. Marina is wearing big hoop earrings and is saying, “Wow!”

Panel 2: A wide establishing shot of Pearl and Marina walking through the booths at the Grand Festival. The sun is high in the sky and there are a few clouds. Pearl is wearing a black t-shirt and gray joggers; Marina also has on gray joggers, which she’s wearing low on her waist. The booths are currently being set up so there are assorted boxes and merch in various states of disarray. Marina leads the way with one hand against her chin, thoughtful, as she takes in all the booths. Pearl follows closely behind with her opposite hand raised to brush behind her ear.

Marina: They really know how to throw a party! Oh, look at that!

Pearl: No kiddin’. Looks like they decided to go all out.

Panel 1: A solo shot of Pearl. She has caught sight of something; she’s distracted as Marina’s dialogue fades out behind her.

Marina: Too bad we don’t have time to check out the festival… What with the final soundcheck and rehearsal and–

Pearl: Uh-huh…

Panel 2: A worker jellyfish in a cap holds up two small, big-headed Pearl and Marina plushies. They are lit up with a white aura.

Panel 3: A montage shot of all the Pearl plushies that Marina has collected. Pearl stands in the middle, chibi-ified with her hands in her pockets and a small frown. She thinks to herself “Shit, I know Marina’s going to want to grab one to add to her collection…” Around her, the plushies are:

a Pearl plush labeled “Surprise Pearl” standing in a pantry, flanked on either side by cup noodle
A Pearl plush labeled “Drumkit Pearl” lying on her back in a bass drum.
Six Pearls flanking a Marina plush on a window sill, three on either side, some lying down, facing directly toward the viewer, labeled “Window Watchers.”
Three off-model Pearl plushies labeled “Bootleg Pearls.” Their moles are in the wrong place and they have visible stitches.
A Pearl leaning against a set of matching Pearl and Marina swim form pillows.
A Pearl peering sideways out of the inside of an award shaped like a clam shell. It is labeled “Award Pearl.”

Panel 4: Montage continues. A small flashback scene where Marina is shown clutching a shopping bag full of Pearl merch. She holds out a credit card and says, “All of it on this card please!” Pearl stands next to her, thinking, “My card…”

Current day Pearl is shown sweating, overlaid next to the flashback, and she narrates: “Even though we definitely have enough at home. And Shiver will throw a fit if we’re late again…”

Below that is a shot of Shiver, underlit, as she holds her hands out and says “How NICE of you to join us this evening. All of us were JUST taking a break. No need to rush.” The top of Frye’s head is shown below her, saying “Uh oh… Shiver’s mad.”
