Future Vian

*"I won."*
―Future Vian

Future Vian in Splatoon 2 until Splatocalypse

The main antagonist. Also known as Envy, Future Vian was initially used as a means for Vian to edit his videos, but now he has taken on a more antagonistic role and took over Viantastic's channel. However, he is no longer in control of it, and is currently with Vyantastic in Splatoon 1. Future Vian swears a lot, definitely more than Past Vian, and doesn't seem to care about it. He also rapped with Past Vian to make That's My Life.

During livestreams, Viantastic has explained that his lore of "Envytastic" was built from how Future Vian was jealous of how Past Vian just got to play games and have fun, while he had to edit videos and work.

## Personality

Future Vian is rude, selfish, greedy and manipulative, and this has been getting more prominent in each video. Unlike Past Vian, he swears frequently and manipulates his friends for views. He will do almost anything for views, as seen when he threatens to get rid of Bridgett if viewers don't watch more and share his videos.

It's worth mentioning that Future Vian seemingly believed that he was, in fact, helping Past Vian. In the video "Splatoon 2 Until Splatocalypse," Future Vian tells Past Vian, "I'm just trying to help you. I know what's best." It's highly possible that Future Vian was heartbroken and that lead him to try to manipulate others.

## Appearance

Future Vian looks like an inkling with the "slick" hairstyle and purple eyes. Despite this, he claims to be an urchin(so does Past Vian), and Bridgett calls him an urchin. His urchin appearance is the same as Spyke, whom you can see in the cafe in the alleyway. (In *Splatoon 2*)

## Sending Past Vian to the Void

### Teleporting through Time in Splatfest

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr5lwox4I\_c

In Teleporting through Time in Splatfest, Past Vian is about to pick Team Teleportation, however, Future Vian makes him pick Team Time Travel. Future Vian makes several appearances during the video, mostly chastising Past Vian for not knowing how to pronounce "rolonium." Future Vian proceeds to mess with Past Vian: making Past Vian immobile, making Past Vian hang over the water with the Booyah Bomb while teasing him in a cynical manner, and taking control of Past Vian briefly to make him get a triple kill before being splatted. At the end, when Past Vian wins the match, he suddenly stops talking, then Future Vian takes over, announcing his victory before the outro plays.

Note: Past Vian could NOT hear Future Vian during this video. This does not apply to all videos.

## Taking over

### The Return of Bridgett

Future Vian starts the video off by seeing that Time Travel lost the splatfest, while Past Vian rejoices in his victory before being cut off by Future Vian claiming that he got what he wanted. He points out how he thinks that the channel isn't growing fast enough, so he borrows Bridgett for the day, insulting Off the Hook by calling them "Off the Heck". Bridgett hears Future Vian talk about views, but the later quickly says "I'll give you boxes.", the one thing that Bridgett cherishes the most. Pearl disapproves of Future Vian's swindle, but Future Vian coaxes her to go anyway. She asks if she should buy a new weapon, to which Future Vian says that he doesn't care, which basically means: if you want it, go ahead and get it, it won't affect me either way. She giggles and heads in the direction of Grizz.Co. But, before she can get far, Future Vian rebukes Bridgett, while he says, "Stop! Turn around, and quit wasting my time!"

Bridgett then says that she wants the Inkbrush, but Future Vian forces her to buy the Custom Hydra Splatling. She says it's heavy, but Future Vian snaps at her to "use her back". He then takes her into a match of Turf War, but before she can even start moving, Future Vian stops her. She claims to be going to fight, but Future Vian claims that she's popular only because she parties, not because she's competitive. So, he manipulates her into squid partying with her team, despite her not liking it. Future Vian wants her to have more fun, if only for the sake of views. When she wastes time before joining her teammates, he hustles her by shouting. After Bridgett gets splatted, he grumbles to Bridgett that she needs to get back out there, so Bridgett Super Jumps to one of her teammates. However, the opposite team seemed intent on fighting Bridgett, and she gets splatted again. Future Vian calls her a useless child while she respawns. She proceeds to start fighting the other team. Future Vian demands an explanation of what she's trying to prove. Eventually, after yelling at Bridgett multiple times, Future Vian gives up and calls Bridgett a mistake. He returns Bridgett to Off the Hook, before claiming that until he gets enough views, Bridgett is dead. Past Vian tries to intervene, but it's too late.

Note: Pearl, Marina, and Bridgett are unaware of the difference between Future Vian and Past Vian. They think that Past Vian is the one doing all these things. They do not know what happened during the Time Travel vs Teleportation Splatfest.

### A Date with Marina

Continuing from where the last video left off, Bridgett is sent back to the basement, and Future Vian approaches Marina for a "date" in Ranked Mode. When Future Vian is splatted, Marina apologizes, but he claims he doesn't need her pity. Future Vian is noticeably angry during this date, while Marina is only trying to help him. When he says that problems keep coming back over and over, Past Vian tries to respond and gets cut off by Future Vian. Future Vian repeatedly swears in front of Marina during his Rainmaker match. Even though Marina says that she doesn't feel comfortable, and that she wants to leave, Future Vian orders her to stay. Marina, most likely out of shock, obeys.

Marina tries to talk to Future Vian, but Future Vian doesn't want to hear about it. Marina questions why he invited her if she isn't supposed to talk, to which Future Vian responds "for views", much to Marina's disgust. Marina continues getting uncomfortable before trying to leave. Future Vian continues harassing Marina. He keeps trying to kill the other team, before eventually quitting on Marina just like he did to Bridgett. We get to see a scene of Bridgett underground (Deepsea Metro Central Station) asking Cap'n Cuttlefish for help.

### 2D Splatoon. not clickbait

Future Vian only makes an appearance near the beginning of the video. He starts off by saying "A couple weeks go by and you think I'm gone? Cute." before saying that Fyrus edited the video and says to watch his videos or Bridgett will go "bye-bye."

In the video description, Viantastic builds his lore by adding some of Future Vian's thoughts. "This is obviously in the past.. when I was a moron. ...Also, my mic cuts off half way along with my will to- like, don't forget to like the video!" Future Vian cuts himself off from saying something he doesn't want others to know.

### Splatoon 2 until Splatocalypse

The video starts with Future Vian saying that he's not going anywhere and claiming that the channel is doing much better. He is about to pick Team Order, but Past Vian intervenes and does what Future Vian did to him in Teleporting Through Time in Splatfest and makes him pick Team Chaos instead. Future Vian gets annoyed that Past Vian is there. Future Vian and Past Vian converse throughout the video. Past Vian keeps cracking jokes, talking, and overall enjoying himself, while Future Vian is so concentrated on his gameplay that he keeps trying to shove Past Vian out of his way. Towards the end in the stage Skipper Pavilion, Past Vian tries to make Future Vian change and be better. But Pearl intervenes and attacks Future Vian to defend her best friend, Marina. Future Vian then decides to put Bridgett in every video from then on and that he'll get rid of Vian altogether.

Note: Pearl gets a lot of hate for ruining the moment. Which is understandable, considering the deep speech that Past Vian gave, and how close we were to changing Future Vian. It is okay to have your own opinion about Pearl's interruptions, but keep in mind the following things: 1. Pearl was unaware of what was happening with this arc. 2. This story, as far as we know, is not canon. 3. You are allowed to share your opinion about Pearl's intrusion, as long as you share it in a controlled, clean way.

## Post-Arc

### A dumb Splatoon 2 video

This is the first post-arc video, and Vian's eyes are green, indicating that this is Past Vian and Future Vian has returned to his previous spot as Vian's editor. It’s possible that Future Vian is happier as the editor.

### Happy Birthday Bridgett!

Bridgette celebrates her birthday, and during the video, Marina asks Pearl if Vian's strange behavior is her fault, while Pearl says she is going to destroy him for hurting Marina. At the end of the video, Bridgett talks about how she doesn't like the "Mean Urchin" and how she wants us to save him.

### Bridgett Tries Minecraft

Towards the end of the video, Bridgett makes a birthday wish in Minecraft. Her birthday wish is #BringBackVian. (This edit is possibly chronologically incorrect)

### Splatoon in 2021

In the original version of this video, Future Vian was nowhere to be seen.
But a few hours after upload, the video was completely changed. In the start, the Future Vian lore is recapped, and Future Vian wakes up, this time in the world of Splatoon 1 and guiding Vyantastic, a new character who is very new to Splatoon.

Throughout the video, Future Vian comments on what Vyan is saying, and sometimes reminding him about things he hasn't covered, and constantly reminding him to ask the viewers to like, subscribe, and comment. However, Future Vian does make some mistakes in the video, as Splatoon 1 is somewhat different to Splatoon 2.

### I use Inkzooka while Babysitting Bridgett

Future Vian appears in the Splatoon 1 sections of this video along with Vyan. Him and Vyan go over the Inkzooka in the video, despite not getting much good footage of it. Despite being from the future, Future Vian does not seem to recall any events from Splatoon 3, maybe due to memory loss. This is further supported by the fact he doesn't seem to remember Bridgett in Splatoon in 2021.

Near the end of the video, Future Vian takes control over Vyan after he ends up crying due to another person squidbagging him. However, unlike his taking of control over Vian, he hands control back at the end of the video.
