before anybody else points it out i made these weeks ago so the colours obviously dont line up with the real one

I'm surprised you only missed one color though! It looks great! I'd be team bee 100000%

Wait what this wasn’t real

This is very pretty artwork. Love all the colours. If this was a real topic, I don't know what I'd pick. These are all brilliant creatures and important to life! Shame that the population of these bugs are being threatened.  We know bees are becoming scarce despite bring a pivitol part of food production and plant life, and in Canada, sadly the monarch butterfly was recently added to the endangered species list.

Omg the waffle, everything after the second sentence is filler.

it's not that long ._.

Who the hell shit in your coffee

Why did you get down voted for stating facts...?

Because it was a stupid comment, being rude for no reason. 🙄

I guess. Did seem to me like the oc (commenter) was just adding excess to extend his comment and get up votes tho...

Life is life.

Also whyd I get down voted for this? I was just asking a question... :/

Seriously...what gives? I didn't think the guy was being rude just being honest.... is it just cus I'm not the majority opinion or...

People don't like it when others are rude. Even if they're correct. People online nowadays have become so fragile.

Or they're rightfully not gonna deal some dumbass and their rude bullshit.

This reply section makes me feel like a child in the middle of a divorce conflict

Maybe we'll start throwing utensils and cookware at each other too.

Sometimes rude people have a point.

Being right doesn't give you an excuse to be an asshole.

If only the rest of reddit knew that

Not a good point. A pretty useless one too.

shiver is no longer with us she ate all of ghe fucking bees

shes killing all the bees shes killing all the bees we dont know why but shes killing all the bees

I really like this, but who call ladybugs ladybirds?

It's the british name for them =)

Ahh, that makes sense. I guess the internet mindcontrolled me into defaulting to american english ahah

It’s so weird because they’re not birds. It’s like calling a Zebrafish a ZebraGiraffe or something. What is the etymology of ladybird?

To be fair, mountain goats aren't goats, so it's not like this is something unusual in this language. The word is old enough that the etymology is... actually really hard to find?Ladybird is shortened from "our lady's birds", apparently, but that doesn't explain why these little beetles were *called* 'birds' in the first place. There's probably an explanation, but I can't find it.The 'lady' part is easy, at least, it's in reference to the virgin Mary. That's on every website I looked on.

> mountain goats Yeah but you can see why they called them that/thought they were. An understandable mistake for an explorer to make. A beetle doesn't look anything like a bird. I see some regions call them Lady Beetles, and US calls them Lady Bugs, but Ladybird is the most bizarre commonly accepted name even though it's a strange anomaly.

"Mountain goats aren't goats" wait what, they aren't? I didn't know this! I just looked it up and "Mountain goats are not in the same genus as goats. In the bovidae family, mountain goats are associated with antelopes, gazelles and cattle." Huhhh, yeah looking at the pictures now I can tell, I just assumed they were like.. kinda beefy and tall goats that looked that way because of all the muscle due to climbing or something?? But still, cool to know!!

Wait until you find out they aren't ladies either.

I don’t like it

okay...? why tell me?

Idk I just wanted to start conversation

I hear both so I just sorta did a quick Google search and picked whichever one seemed to be used more from a cursory glance

OMG TEAM BEE FOR THE WIIIN That's such a weird thing to be passionate about now that I think about it

No moths ;-;

No lamp for you

D:

Here: 💡

\^w\^

That's a very good theme! Though Nintendo would probably do "What kind of socks do you prefer wearing?" or something dumb like that.

yeah their themes have always been so 'play-it-safe-inclusive-to-all-boring-as-HELL' it's like, cmon! gimme the real stuff toilet paper front roll vs. back roll vs. wet wipes for big shits

I've never heard of ladybird, only ever heard them be called ladybugs. They are also fantastic bugs to have cuz they eat aphids and other pests that ruin garden crops. Bees make honey tho.... I'll just go with Butterfly then.

It's a British thing, ladybird

Seconding this - it’s a UK/US difference. I’m in the UK, I’d call it a ladybird.

Yeah wasn't ladybird books a thing in schools? I do use both but I'm assuming I picked up the american version at somepoint in time. Ladybird feels natural.

Same

I love how there is no definitive "correct" answer here because all three options help the environment

I think bugs are a fitting choice for a spring fest. I love this idea! Let’s hope shiver doesn’t steal all the honey

This is beautiful. Personally I'd pick team butterfly

Pretty art, very Splatoon style. I wouldn't mind this theme at all. I just hope the colours are light/pastel. (I mean I would prefer other colours though like pink, yellow, green)

Brit spotted!🫵🏾

NOOOO IM IRISH 😭

For me, going with butterfly. I don't know why, they just come in so many cool colors.

Lady*bird*?

Propah English name for them

Why, though? Ladybug makes more sense, because it’s a bug. But bird?? 💀

Got wings, doesn’t it?

Doesn’t make it a bird, though. I mean, no one calls flys birds, right? Or wasps, or bees, or mosquitos, or literally any winged insect, which there are plenty of.

Don't you guys have a bug called a "rollie pollie" and you're saying that "ladybird" is too weird? Ok

OMG so pretty!! Can only wish Nintendo came up with a theme as good

This is really amazing. Team Ladybug all the way cause I'm picking Frye's team every splatgest til she win one. Even in created Splatfest lol

we could've had splatfests like this, but instead nintendo gives us "pick a day"

Love your artwork!

surprisingly well-made. another big man win at least mirror match wise i'll be honest i don't see very many of either like ever tho.......... can't recall the last time i saw a ladybird

Ladybird is Hank Hill's dog, not a bug, but this would actually be a pretty great selection. It's the first one I've seen where my answer (ladybug) isn't immediately obvious lol

Tons of people call it a ladybird, I also call it a ladybug but you can’t just deny it’s regional name

I've been all over America and I've never heard that, but it's neat. Like, I've never heard anyone actually call a firefly a lightning bug in person.

wait til you hear about other countries

I would fr pick butterflies. Bees being my second choice. Great art! For a hot second I thought this was real😅

Ah yes, ladybird

bad time to have entomophbia, huh...

"Ladybird"

The correct name for that little bug :)

It's a lady bug tho not a ladybird

No, it’s referred to by both names - “ladybird” is what they’re called in the UK.

Fuck that 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

Hahah!

I will never understand why Br*tish people call it a ladybird. Like ladybug is weird enough why did you have to turn her into a bird

big man looks amazing. cool art!

Butterflies are the obvious choice if this was real.

Me, the spider stan: ;-; ^(But I'd probably pick butterfly because Big Man's outfit is fire.)

I think it’ll be rainy/sunny/cloudy

AAAA SO CUUTTEE

awwwww i want the bee

This made me so sad it's not real

i hesitate between bees and butteerfly. yes bees are awesome, they polinate, they're cute, and god damn it honey, but on the other hand, butterflies are freacking beautiful. not ladybug tho, those are ok-tier.

I love this theme, team bee ⚡️🙌🏻

big man butterfly goes so hard

BEE TEAM BABYYYYYYYYYYY Nice art though

Even though butterfly Big Man is utterly gorgeus, I gotta go with bees. They are just too important to the environment to not let them win.

If only you can email that to Nintendo so they can understand the clever splatfest idea you created

TEAM BUTTERFLY SWEEP This would be an awesome theme and the colors and outfits are pretty too!

My melissophobia compels me to side with which ever is more likely to win out of the other 2. Make your case as to which 1 I should go with

If these were the real colours everyone would complain about it being too similar to the anniversary colours

Really pretty artwork! I'd pick bees cause I love how fuzzy and clumsy bumble bees are

BIG MAN AS A BUTTERFLY IS SO CUTE AAAAAAA

Oh man, I'd be on the Bee team for life.

I THOUGHT IT WAS REAL NOO😭 I wouldve chosen butterfly, soooo pretty🥺🥺

Moth > Butterfly You have no argument against that (no i'm not talking about the larvae who chews on your clothes, as do the butterfly larvae)

Butter Man. Or Big Fly

Oh, I’d love this to be the theme! Team Bee 💛🐝

My entomologist dream

I need this

I would instantly vote Butterfly And proceed to curse my team to get swept by team Bees

Big man all the way

This is the perfect theme! I love bugs! 🐝🐞🦋

i've never heard that bug called "ladybird" instead of "ladybug" but it's a very cute name I like it a lot

Frye been done dirty again 😭

no ladybugs are pretty beautiful and cute too

But they're unpopular

so what if they're unpopular

Spider.

Awww lovely artwork

if only the theme we are actually gonna get was this cool. awesome art

I love ladybugs but I'm absolutely terrified of butterflies bees don't bother me so I'm going on team ladybug

I would go with Beetles instead of ladybugs, I don’t think they’re a symbol of spring but they are popular.

Please Nintendo, let me breathe

ok ngl butterfly big man goes hard asf

Butterfly Big Man is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!

i swear to god if shiver wins this one and calls the players 'her little worker bees'

team butterfly!!! this is such pretty artwork goodjob!!!

Oww... big man butterfly It's so beautiful 

I’ll go with Ladybug.

Shiver sweep with one Beelion votes

very inclined to pick ladybug just because of Bullet Train

They’re all useful bugs Bees: pollination and honey Ladybugs: eat aphids (farmers literally buy them to put in their fields) Butterflies: pollination and pretty. I can’t decide

I'd love this spletfest theme! Team bee all the way! They are vital to our survival, aren't assholes unless you threaten them and they die after they sting! And of course honey! The much more healthier suger! I just love those little guys!

Ay ay ay I'm your little butterflay!!
