Hooray! I get a few extra snails, and Pearl gets to throw shade for once. That's pretty nice.

I would like to think it's weird flight was still less popular, but the Marina effect is still strong sadly. Guess I'll be supporting Pearl in the event I don't lean too heavily either way going forward.

Basically overly-attached fanboys of Marina siding with her because she exists, and is pretty much the pure embodiment of Splatoon perfection, according to the fandom's standards. Mostly might or might not be because of the fact she's an octoling, which the fandom has a HUGE affection for.
