That’s a wrap for Meso’s journey at #Riptide2026! We loved seeing the sights, mingling with other pods, and screaming their hearts out cheering for the competitors. Goodbye Sandusky, we’ll see you in 2027!

Day 2 of Riptide came and went, and Mesopelagic spent it socializing and enjoying the venue! They got to meet up with their grandcoach, grab dinner, and end the night with some swimming!! Nam and Random also got to participate in “Pop the Balloon” to find their perfect teammate 👀 #Riptide2026

Day 1 of Riptide is over and it was a full day for Mesopelagic indeed! The sharks arrived at badge pickup early… but no one was there??!?!! Maybe they got up TOO early… at least they met a familiar face!

There aren’t any sharks at the kalahari right…? Well this year there are! Mesopelagic will be attending riptide 2026! The pod will be lurking as welcomed guest, cheering on the competition, wading through art booths, and seeing the Sandusky sights! Maybe we’ll see you there🦈 #compsplatoon #splatoon

Don’t get cooked? Stay off the hook? Not in this kitchen! Meso’s @burntghosttoast.bsky.social proves having fins doesn’t prevent you from cooking, much less making thumbnails! Here’s a look at a few from recent months! #splatoob

Happy (Very) Belated birthday (5/6🎉 to our marvelous meso member, @herooftrains.bsky.social ! Featuring an illustration and a very true story by @burntghosttoast.bsky.social all about Train, Olive, and Oile surviving in this Baka life full of fish. #splatoon

Three individual black and white drawings of Train Splatoon:
1. A bust shot of Train smiling open mouthed with party popper confetti flying over their face hocto hair and head. One eye is open while the other winks with the text next to it saying “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TRAIN!” Outlined by emphasizing action lines.
2. A goofy doodle version of a full body chibi train splatoon with a pacman shaped mouth lifting a handful of lava cake into said mouth. A curly arrow points at the cake saying “LAVA CAKE”
3. A bust shot of a pleased Train looking into their hands holding a small shark, laying on its back in their gentle embrace. A speech bubble next to their head reads “COOL SHARK!”

Page of campus notebook with story hand written as follows:

FULL OF FISH
5/6/26
ONE DAY, Olive and oile went to the market to buy some fish. Little did they know, they would run into an old friend and enemy, a FRENEMIE if you will: CAPITALISM.
They had no goddamn money, but they were SOOO hungry. The fish was RIlIGHT there! IT WOULD BE CRUEL to deny them this gorgeous meal with such empty, rumbly tummies. "Five bucks".
said the Inkfish at the register. The
rows of glassy eyes practically begged Olive to snatch them up in newspaper. The still glistening fins nearly wiggled and flopped themselves into Oile’s arms. Alas, without any currency, the dream of a simple candle lit dinner in Oh I dunno, probly anhour or so from now was impossible.
"WAIT. have an idea "whispered the ever clever Oile.
"An idea? At this hour? From you??" Olive mumbled incredulously.
"Sure. Just wait and see."
"By the time you get back, ill be skin and BONES."
Oile called the police and had the inkfish at the register arrested. It was all Clearly illegal endangered species. No amount of "WAITS "or "WHAT'S tHE MEANING OFTHIS"s could convince these sea pigs of shit.
"See? That's how it’s done" Oile beamed as he wiped his hands Clean. However, with no vendor, the fish could not be sold. Ah, yes.
Inquisitive render! You know now part 2 has only just begun. Hiding their glee, the two partners in crime delighted in pilfering the pescados productos and had planned this from the peginning.
People were unaware as the stand laid bare, letting these fish bandits loose to do whatever they wished with their prize. Yeah they cooked and ate those Mfrs for breakfast, lunch, secondlunch, dinner, and dessert for a year or two.
Wait. That's it? AHA. Yet again l underestimated you, dear reader.
They couldn't have gotten all this home by themselves. You would Be absolutely correct. 100% (a small golden star sticker is inserted here)
There was an accomplice...
TRAIN SPLATOON.

A black and white page in a campus notebook with a pencil illustration of a Thomas the Tank Engine clone but with Train Splatoon’s face having a gleeful expression. Olive and Oile ride in the conductor car small and faraway. The cargo is an open top car carrying a stacked high pile of fish with seagulls following overhead behind. Text box reads as follows: Carrying all of those beautiful fish, TRAIN splatoon singlehandedy, saved OLIVE and OILE from Starvation and capitalism.
-Below that text box reads as follows:
Some seagulls ate some fish though so fuck them...
-An upper body drawing of a wide mouthed seagull deep throating a fish

After a long season, Mesopelagic goes out with a playoffs 2–5 set against Teapot! GGs to them and everyone else we've faced. For the next few weeks, the pod will be returning to their lairs to rest and recuperate, but don't worry! We'll be lurking in the pelagic zone again soon #compsplatoon more 🧵

It's definitely not #MesoMarch anymore, but thank you to the team for sticking around for so long. And thank you to @jobb.bsky.social for deciding to teach the pod everything they know. There's only one way to go for Meso. (Art done by @lilalychi.bsky.social thank you so much!)

Despite being beaten back into the shallows after their last set, the pod leaps from the water and snatches a 5-4 victory against The Cuties in a stressful game 9! The pod secures their place in playoffs, flashing their recently-brushed teeth in a sharp warning. #compsplatoon

The rebels manage to put an end to the sharks and their reign of terror. Mesopelagic goes 0-5 in their set against @redrebellionspl.bsky.social but keep watch. The waters are still tainted red with blood, and the sharks won’t be deterred by a single defeat. #compsplatoon

If you lurk in the waters, the competition is bound to get swept away. Mesopelagic takes a clean 5-0 against Juno in their week 4 set! Nothing seems to be able to stop the sharks… for now… #compsplatoon + a cameo from our coach @jobb.bsky.social

This is the repercussions of your actions. The sins of the past are not forgotten so easily. Your willful and slanderous rejection of the consequences that will rest upon your shoulders will only serve as your downfall. I can only hope that God may have mercy on your soul, for we shall not.
