   huh I never played Splatoon but apparently the fandom considers Pearl and Marina to be lesbian-coded. Shipping wiki, how much textual material have we to support a yuri reading?

   > In chat session 7, in revenge of Marina posting photos of her without her consent, Pearl posts two pictures of Marina. One of the photos shows Marina asleep, cuddling a plushie of Pearl. Marina is very embarrassed by these photos apparently, and Pearl logs off the chatroom as soon as Marina scolds her in chat to avoid further confrontation.

   > Marina's laptop wallpaper is a picture of Pearl smiling flirtatiously while holding both her and Marina's zippers from the duo's Splatoon 2 idol outfits.

   > The first of Marina's diary pages has a section titled "The Pearl Houzuki Appreciation Corner", accentuated with a heart emoji.

   > She then says that she can't wait for "brave Pearl" to rescue her, again accentuating her words with heart emojis.

   normal platonic friendship between straight girls, got it. I bet they say "no homo" every time they kiss

     I wonder how's the AO3 tag—"1-20 of 1,654 Works in Marina/Pearl (Splatoon)"

     wait, Marina's tagline in the character relationship chart is 恋する乙女? not even 愛 but 恋? isn't it basically canon, then?

     I will make no comments on the fact that the name of their band in the original is "Tentacles"
