16-Jan-2024 <-!!

[{ Thank you for enjoying the first chapter, I noticed there's a little misspelling as for 'hire' and 'here', eventually i Will learned my lesson and make better things with it,but still thank you for reading it it's bring me a smile.and it's a Lots of fun making this than I thought!! }]

The Fallacy has spoken: it is just so nice to see you again dear familiar

[{Reader will be called [{Redacted}]/Familiar in this and Will be using They/Them pronounce just for Everyone to enjoy in every Page,this will keep going in the future page}]

<<Chapter 1.5 [{you here}] <- [{previous chapter}] Chapter 2 ->

To be honest.. what chapter is this?.. it's still 1?.. then it's still Rider.. Probably now their team is already fighting.. uhhggg god dammit, you really wanted to watch their show who knows you can learn while watching their show ahhhgg dammit dammit..

. . .

Wait.. wait a minute.. you still can, it's a Corocoro cup tournament, every once a year there's going to be a tournament, whoever is Number one on Turf war is a Champion or you can say getting the cup.. and if many inkling join the tournament that's mean there's going to be some kind of live video eventually you know who there's too.. of course it's the one and only the Emperor.

Hm.. maybe that's why he get name like Arrogant air by Crusty Sean or everybody name him an Arrogant air... who kidding, he really is.. but in the end he got better.. but then nerf.. and then he start being a fast food worker... He must be bawling out his eyes in his room from losing to a C- inkling, okay that's funny and very true reaction

You. Pretty much like the Emperor but you don't want to be like that Arrogant inkling, you just have the trait of a Good confidence.. And you are already getting into Rank X in Splatoon 2, you are proud of yourself nonetheless, but like getting your ass kick by C- is damn so much denial because what the hell..

Okay enough, you then let yourself enter the Test Range.. you look for a spot to sit and watch the live.. after taking a spot to sit, of course taking the phone to watch the live..

. . .

Oh.. oh how cool, it was better from the Manga, you never know this is going to be intense.. those move and those weapons the Dynamo Weapon.. it looks really heavy.. to be honest you remember in Sheldon store it's really bigger than you thought, admiring the ^Play^ it's really good and having slick move too..

You get up and stare at your weapon.. a glimpse of thought start go again and again

. . .

' how will you win.. '

A devil speak to itself yet you are not a devil nor a villain you just.. you, you just seek thriving goal.. such as this ^Turf War^.. you wanted the seeking challenge, you can't let yourself down for just such a little thing.. you just can't... You can't..

. . .

. . .

. . .

SPLAT!!

SPLAT!!

' hah.. hah .. Hah.. '

You took a look at your hand.. the look at the dummies

It hitting the dummies, the look of concern and sweat was building up to your face.. was it really necessary to be like this.. you felt sorry for what emotion you're feeling right now but you can't help it either.. but then again.. people have their right to be little selfish right?,gosh what are you thinking stop being like that, stop trying to make things look like it's great even it's literally bad, ..hah.. okay.. you giving it a shot, of course the practice what were you thinking.

You start to walk in front of the dummies.. not too far not too near then start to Aming the Shooter at the dummies

After a whole hour passed by and you are sweating.. but you do feel awesome, it's like having fun to yourself, you learn a move or two, you like it, even though it's just some Beginner weapon it's was fun.

You can't wait for your main weapon, it is going to be great. Such a great journey..

. . .

Hah.. you guess you can rest for a while who knows the next thing goggles will be losing to another inkling.. yeah he does really get his butt kick with Rider Dynamo it's little funny.

And.. after that they are going to face the Army team, they thought they were not going to face them in the second of the game, like they thought they didn't face Rider for the first round of the Game, oh how unlucky but even though they still manage to win, and idiotic blue still win even they face the S4 for a second time is shocking, then again he is the protagonist of this Manga even he lose to skull and wanting a rematch then he still win

' gosh is there another way.. '

And here you are remembering that, but it is nice to remember a little thing even if it's not necessary to do.. you are bored.. the next Match it's of course Goggles team And Army Team.. okay why do you say it's Goggles team, the leader is literally Glasses.. ah whatever..

But yeah it's going to be them, the next match is will take a while than you thought.. why not texting ^Cloak^ for something.. anything is okay since you are literally exhausted from training.. maybe talk about the S4..?

Familiar Has Text.. [\White Cloak\]

[\Familiar\]: Hey 'cloak' I'm taking a break from training, and I'm exhausted.. but I wanted to know more about the S4, any idea?

[\White Cloak\]: oh?.. interest about the S4 are you.. well what do you want to know about them, personality? Training? Or more, I got everything

[\Familiar\]: anything, personal information could be included.. if you can.

[\White Cloak\]: oh of course I can, the first you probably know. Rider, he's an inkling who are the first Goggles and their team encounter, as you know first he looks like an intimidated inkling and of course he is,he has a tough personality and he seems to be short tempered, then he began cares about his team, he rather change when he gets defeated by goggles and his team in the end, he still keep his intimidated and still have his serious attitude look in my perspective.. but he truly good, he is the least strongest of S4 but he manages to play with S4 in the end [When Army cannot join the game actually].

[\White Cloak\]: and about Army, Army is an inkling.. who is the second goggles and his team encounter after Rider, but you already knew that aren't you, his personality stern, strict personality, straight forward inkling who pride himself on his Team ability to an counter any possible move that their opponent can make, but it's due to the data they collect in their Manual,in the end he lost to goggles, and yet now he making curry as a data of his too.. cannot blame him, to be honest you just like him.. a little haha

[\White Cloak\]: that's all I can say, for the other you are going to watch them by yourself, and probably ask me again ^^ I'm willing to answer things.

[\Familiar\]: ah.. that's okay.. but.. thanks for this, I can use this information, and still thanks Cloak.

[\White Cloak\]: no problem Dear Familiar, all I can say is I'm just helping you learn something that you wanted to know.. oh well then again I still have something to do.. bye familiar

[\Familiar\]: okay.. bye cloak

. . .

' oh okay that's some data you can use '

That is some information.. but you are excited for this, you can't wait to see their battle in front of your eyes.. you just can't wait but..

' right now I'm going to enjoy my life! '

. . .

Surely you do..

Coroika Mask x Reader Oneshot - One of Those Days, With a Twist.

Wc: 1.6k

A/N: NOT CANON to my 'Various! Splatoon Manga x Skilled! Isekai'd reader' story!! This is like,, a. Mask path. In the future - which is not what I'm doing.

Taglist: @blackholequeen

Masterlist

A soft knock was heard through Mask's bedroom door. No answer. Though you knew he was there- you had heard a few sneezes as well as sniffling moments earlier. It almost sounded like he purposely went quiet as soon as he had heard the knock reverberate through his room.

The cyan team had called you up after their leader refused to leave his room or allow anyone in there. You often spent time playing video games with them and making them proper meals- they can't live off of ramen, after all. You were like the parent of the team, in a way - despite being the same age as them.

You sighed and left for a moment, him copying your action once he heard the footsteps disappear. It didn't take long before you came back, though, and you warned him you were coming in-not giving him the chance to object besides a slight groan.

His cheek was glued to his pillow, facing away from the door. You calmly put down the tea you had gone to make for him to ease his sickness, and the sound of the mug on his end-table along with you having to move a bit of trash aside to make room for it was enough for him to lazily face you. His brows slightly unfurrowed after properly realising who has entered his room- he was very out of it and didn't completely recognise who the voice belonged to when you had called out earlier. He had only recognised to soft tone, and that told him it was someone that was... less likely to irritate him. You put down your backpack.

With a hushed tone, you urged him to sit up. He did so reluctantly.

"C'mon Mask, let's get some meds into you. That'll help."

The poor boy looked like a kicked puppy when he turned to face you properly-his fever sure wasn't fun. His face was all red and puffy, and you had noticed his nose was running. You offered him his water bottle to take the meds with. Before he could lie back down, you cut him off:

"Ah-ah, hold on," You grabbed the mug of tea from earlier, "This should be cool enough now. Your throat is sore, right? This'll ease it."

You sat on the edge of his bed, after adjusting his bedsheets that were nearly falling off the bed.

"You know, all this trash in here can't be helping,"

You tone was soft and genuine, not an accusatory one. Yet he still looked at you with a look of 'Does it look like I'm in the right form to be cleaning?'

You chuckled softly, "I know, I know. Just sayin'." You kicked your feet as you waited for him to finish his drink. He was taking a while, so you decided to take up some cleaning yourself. You began to absentmindedly clean up the garbage, which eventually turned to organising things once you were done with that. You rambled on about your day as you cleaned. You knew he was fine with it as long as you weren't too loud, given he likely had a headache. What you didn't know was that he very much enjoyed when you rambled- your soft voice had always been comforting to him. He often found himself just barely smiling to himself when you did so. You didn't notice- too preoccupied.

You found spare joycons and a gameboy behind a dresser, and a bunch of other small items that were lying around that were now properly put away. Of course the room wasn't perfectly clean- it's not like you had dusted or used any cleaning products nor vacuumed, but it was a great improvement. You thought about dusting the room for him when he was gone but... he barely left his room. You'd do it later, or get Luna to if you were gone.

"Is there anything esle I can do for you?"

He sat in a daze.

"Mask?"

"Hm?"

You shook your head with a smile on your face, "Are you tired, my dear?"

He never did get used to your pet names, despite you constantly using them on the cyan team members constantly. He never said he didn't like them, so you continued to use them with him.

He softly nodded.

That was a lie, but he wasnt sure what else to do. Well- not a complete lie, he was always a bit tired. But he had just napped for quite a while.

Before you left, he thanked you in a quiet, raspy voice. You went off to go play some SquidRacer with the cyan team, remembering to not be too loud.

Which left him with his thoughts.

Now, it was one of those days. He felt somewhat miserable and lost, just wantong the day to pass by. He wasn't thinking quite straight either.

He couldn't help but begin overthinking all your pet names, and the way you took care of him. This wasn't the first time, and he hoped it wouldn't be the last. He thought that was a selfish thing to hope for. Maybe it was. He lost track of time as he remembered all the moments you'd spent together, slowly growing closer. He saw the reluctance in your hold when you'd go to touch him for any reason- you always wanted to make sure he was comfortable, and you knew he didn't like physical touch. Desi was a big fan of physical contact, he noticed, and it seemed you were as well. You and the other cyan team members often snuggled under blanket while gaming or watching movies. He couldn't tell what this feeling was. Was it jealousy? He didn't like physical contact, thought. Was it confusion? Surely. But then he realised how you seemed to mostly dote on him of all the members. Always taking care of him.

Did you think he was weak? Unable to take care of himself? You had to remind him to take his anti-depressants sometimes- did you think he was irresbolsible? You had just cleaned him room for him, sure you thought those things to be true. Then why did you stick around? Because you felt bad for him? He grew irritated and tear began brimming his eyes. The itchiness he felt all over didn't help either, nor did the mucus forming in his throat.

Soon enough, you came rushing in to him having a coughing fit and struggling to breathe. You gently rubbed circles over his back without a second thought, offering him a tissue to cough into.

"Shh, shh. Breathe for me, okay? Breathe with me," You began doing some breathing exercises that he could follow along to.

Once he finally calmed down, he felt so...weak. Small. Questioning why you continued to help him. You stopped rubbing his back, and he faltered, a bit sad. But you were quick to softly wipe his tears away with your thumb and caress his cheek when you noticed he seemed to be enjoying the physical contact. He absentmindedly leaned into your touch. The two of you stayed silent for a while. You got up to close the door, then sat back down next to him- closer that usual. He - uncharacteristically, weakly grabbed onto your hand, distracting himself by admiring your fingers. He didn't know what ese to do. He didn't want you to leave, but he didn't want to say it out loud.

He had one burning question on his mind.

"Why do you stay with me?"

"Because I care about you,"

It was as simple as that.

"I know you don't like happy squids, but I can tell when you're happier than usual, and that makes me glad to see. It's comforting, and gives me a purpose, "

"A purpose?"

You nod, not wishing to go into detail. In short, he gave you something to look forward to every day.

You two have been through a lot- many days where you thought he may not make it, or was afraid you'd lose him to a coughing fit where he couldn't get a breath in. But you stood by his side no matter what. You went out of your way to get him and his team out of the house- usually to the arcade or out for dinner. They seriously needed more sunlight, you joked.

You hoped to give Mask a reason. A purpose.

And you did.

He was going to ask you something, but all that came out was a rasped mumble. His throat hurt too much. So he slid down into his bedsheets, and reluctantly lied down on your lap, looking up at you as if to ask if it was okay. You smiles. He never was this physically affectionate.

But maybe it wasn't so bad. You enjoyed it after all-his physical affection. So he gave it a shot. You began absentmindedly petting his tentacles to soothe him. He was breathing much better now, and you softly smiled as he began to drift off.

Maybe you'd finally ask him on a small date once he was feeling better. Of course, you'd take good care of him until then.

//vent I really need to get this off my chest. After Splatoon 3's final splatfest comes to a close, I'm probably going to stop interacting with the Splatoon community as much as I can. It's been four years since I've gotten truly into Splatoon, (that's a complicated, yet much nicer story for some other time) and while I don't regret it by any means, it's definitely been an exhausting ride, and I kinda want to get off of it before I barf.

Getting the most obvious thing out of the way, the way Nintendo has been handling Splatoon 3 has been really disappointing. It has far more improvements than flaws, but this game has had some really bizarre decisions made with it compared to the first two games. Maps, kits, ETC... I'm not gonna delve into the specifics, you probably already know what I'm going on about. Secondly, while what I just said still holds true, I feel like the community reactions to these changes have been... a bit too much? Like, yeah, splatfests are imbalanced. Maps have been bad. (up until Drizzle Season 2023, at least) But these problems have been absolutely blown out of the water. Fucking, death threats have been sent to people who join the Shiver's teams. Despite the whole appeal of the Splatoon community being a place of self expression and lack of judgement, a lot of Splatoon subcultures really... aren't that great. Being deadass, competitive Splatoon is boring, and its players are super rude and annoying. I don't like to generalize, but I've yet to interact with a single comp player I enjoy talking to. Every single one I've met has tried forcing me to play a certain way, no matter if I'm even fucking playing with them. I was harassed for using sticks. In a B- lobby. Back when I was new to Splatoon 2. The hacking scene is a dumpster fire. The main person who's created the most well known and fun Splatoon hacking system is a piece of shit, for one. For two, have you even touched the first game anytime after 2017? Yeah, it's full of hackers. Can't play turf war for 15 minutes without having to sit there and not play the game because someone is hacking and getting away with it because Nintendo doesn't moderate the servers anymore. The Coroika fandom is if you took Splatoon fandom and infected it with My Hero Academia fans. Yeah. Are any of you familiar with Splatoon Florida? It was an old parody account on Twitter that I used to own that got popular SUPER fast. Could not handle it. It spawned nearly 50 clone accounts based on the other 49 united states, and I had even gotten impersonation accounts pretending to be me and saying really, really awful things. This paired with the queerphobia I faced and hatemail in general stacked on top of my mother having multiple strokes and almost dying at the time, pushed me over the edge, and I deleted SplatoonFL after someone told me that they hoped my mother had another stroke and died. Now, I feel like shit for name dropping people in my vent, as it's been awhile since most of this garbage has happened and I don't want to seem petty, plus this isn't intended to be a callout post. But I really do feel the need to let this shit out of my system, and frankly I'm tired of watching these people be appreciated while remembering what they've done to me, small and insignificant or not.

Theecorner, AKA Danniee, banned me from their Discord server after I loudly expressed distaste for jokes being made about Dream, as I was one of Dream's victims and felt very uncomfortable bringing him up. Keep in mind that insinuated that I did not enjoy the conversation multiple times.

Pufuu had made a Twitter post with a screenshot of our DMs. I was irritated that he had kept making fake Splatoon leaks with zero indication of them being concepts, and he thought that was wrong. A couple Tweets before this, ironically, he boasted about getting another annoying fake leaker to block him.

Caitlin Koi had acted aggressive towards me after I expressed concern for her after a seizure which, her seizures are very much real and very dangerous, though I should mention she also uses them as an excuse to be an asshole and guilt trip people.

Vaqeii. Fuck you. (He has very few actual fans, I just wanted to express my hatred towards that fucking slime since he's also one of the Splatubers who had traumatized me.)

I'd like to restate that I don't regret my time in the community one bit. I love it here for the most part. It's just gotten far too much, and I'm. Frankly a little bit done and ready to move on. I'll try to keep strong and stay for a bit so I can enjoy the rest of Splatoon 3's update cycle with my friends and the people I enjoy being around. After that though, unless something happens to change my mind, I'll be gone after that.

Knowing the current state of the Splatoon community, I wouldn't be surprised if I started getting harassed again for this post. Hell, wouldn't it be hilarious if THIS vent post got screenshotted and edited to be about Roller Coaster Tycoon, to? Yeah, that was a thing that happened. No, I haven't forgotten about that. You know who you are. Real fucking proud of you, I am.

Coroika Pirate AU part one (?)

So, I don’t really have a plot outline in mind, I just wanted to draw some characters as pirates and give them some adventures :D But, I kind of picture some inklings/octolings seeking adventures and wanting to explore the seas. 

There is also a new phenomenon occurring in inklings/octolings in this AU, where certain ones have the ability to turn into giant krakens (not to be confused with the special) for an extended period of time when they are submerged in water. This is definitely a surprise tool that'll help us later 😎👍

Most of their weapons are the same/similar to the ones they use in the manga, just adjusted to fit the concept a bit better :] 

Pirates in this AU will do turf wars, hoping to capture the other’s ship. Unless they have some other motivations ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ But, that’s not really important tbh---- I kinda focused more on having fun designing the characters for this AU. I might make a part two if I ever draw/write more for it? We’ll definitely have to see I guess.

Uhh anyways this'll be a long post, so have fun reading!

Anyways, I drew the S4 as pirates for this AU :D So, here they are! 

(The S4’s teammates are also on board with them :D I just didn’t really have much planned for them, but they’re there!)

=======================

Skull:

For the most part, Skull’s personality is pretty much the same as it was in the original manga. He’s the captain of the S4 pirates and well-known across all seven seas as a sharpshooter & exceptional marksman.

He’s pretty much a pirate you NEVER want to mess with while you’re at sea

He's previously had connections with The X-Blood Pirates and Captain Vintage— but he doesn't like talking about it

Despite his intimidating reputation, Skull is actually a pretty laid back captain— perhaps a bit too laid back 

He can be bribed with food

He has a horrible sense of direction, he leaves that to Army. 

Captain Skull is a pretty funky name if you ask me 

He doesn’t like to steal/raid villages like most pirates do, he likes the action-- but not at the cost of innocent lives.

Mask:

Mask is in charge of ship repairs if there ever needs to be any. Although he’s not the best with tools, he does get help from Aloha

He’s also in charge of the canons aboard the ship

He still wears his gas mask because of hay fever

He likes to play cards whenever he’s bored on the ship.

He’s rather pessimistic and it takes him some time to trust others.

He's sailed with Captain Skull for a few years.

Army:

Army’s the cook aboard the ship. He’s good at making curry :D

Army comes from a noble family, which he ran away from so he could join Captain Skull

B-Sailor and W-Sailor are medics aboard the ship. (B-Sailor is also a sniper) (I didn't know where else to put this info)

Army has a series of manuals containing years and years of battle experience/journals of what it’s like at sea. It’s desired by many other pirate crews because they want the information within them

Army also has a few pet messenger pigeons which he uses to communicate with other pirates nearby.

Army sometimes helps with navigation and has to give directions to the captain.

Aloha:

Aloha & his team were bandits

He’s exceptionally good at pickpocketing and can unlock almost any lock

Aloha & his team were recruited by Army to join because of their skills.

Aloha initially refused Army’s invitation to join the crew, but later accepted it after thinking about it some more.

Aloha’s mostly there to hang out on the ship, Skull doesn’t mind having him around for the most part— Sometimes his pickpocketing skills come in handy though :D

Straw, Snorkel, and Octoglasses also help out sometimes with ship repairs if needed :]

He's not exactly the best at cooking, though he's tried when Army was injured at one point

Oh yeah, Rider is here too :D I have info on him but I haven't had the chance to draw him yet 👀

===========

I might add on some more stuff eventually but this is what I have so far! If you have any questions or want to ask me about it, pls send me a message through the ask box I'd love to talk about it more :DD

Also feel free to ask as much as you'd like! I'm so excited about it and talking about it more ahhdjsjcnskvnkdjjfj

Thanks for reading!

EHEHEHE IM SO EVIL I KNOW I KNOW

let me make it worse :)

even after the trip to the rewind spring + rider beating up shiver

goggles ends up being in a coma for a solid week.

when he does finally wake up, rider refuses to leave his side for any reason, which effectively prevents pearl from gaining another second in command, and gives marie another angel to deal with (affectionate)

goggles also does not remember the burning wings incident. rider eventually has to remind him because he genuinely cannot come up with a convincing lie for the scar on his face. they cuddle for a while after that.

anyway, this'd mean rider is present as an ally during the last 3 chapters! do with this what you will :)

~icarus anon~

(I had a whole response for this typed out and then Tumblr crashed grrr, so I’m writing what I remember)

YOU ARE SO EVIL (affectionate)

Gorai wouldn’t be canon yet at this point (I think I’d save that for the filler part (AKA NEW CHAPTER 23)) but the cuddling is still canon.

Also Pearl be like: JEE Marie, how come Icarus Anon and Doll let you have TWO angels!?

ALSO ALSO Marie and Rider don’t get along for a long time but then they do because they’re like “Huh, he/she cares for Goggles, and he cares about both of us. Let’s get along for his sake”

ALSO ALSO ALSO Because I’m silly, Goggles is getting a proper name in this AU I’m changing his name to Gabriel! Not only is that the name I always give him in human AUs but in Christian Mythos one of God’s Archangels was named Gabriel so this comes full circle!! Everyone else still keeps their names (I need to double check, but I think the other Coroikas can keep their names)

[mossedrock]

I got a little heated, big, meaningless ramble ahead:

I remember chatting in a discord server (it got deleted without warning) about how splatoon 3’s story as a wrap-up of the octarian storyline sucked because in the first game it addresses the octarians as living in practical exile in deteriorating living areas, the second game shows that octarians could thrive on the surface since things changed and that the reason for staying underground isn’t really true anymore since they could very easily be accepted (also the fact that everyone barely knows of the octarian existence and NEVER looked for them after land expanded again infers purposeful DELETION OF HISTORY by treating them like mythic legend), and Splat 3 tosses their hat in the ring, somehow ending this conflict, by saying: “octavio helped us once, so that means the octarians are just fine despite the fact the majority of their culture IS STILL IN THE GROUND.” YEAH YOU FOUGHT A GENOCIDAL TEDDY BEAR BUT THIS IS LITERALLY FAR FROM OVER. I get that octavio isn’t blameless for holding a grudge against a race that quite literally forgot about his people, but holding onto pride and never looking for other options besides inkopolis land is just stupid, and the inklings for erasing them and never reaching out to help them when land squabbles weren’t an issue anymore makes them asshats too! Everyone sucks! Everything sucks! Yeah i get that over time a lot of octarians will just escape from the underground and thrive on the surface, but going over an arduous journey to escape and become a refugee into a new world isn’t a good solution! Yes someone is happy, but realistically most will get hurt or die on that journey! The best option is diplomatic, which neither side is doing for terrible reasons! The NSS as a peacekeeping faction is fundamentally flawed in that they fought the octarians when they attempted to improve their lives, upon realizing they aren’t just bloodthirsty monsters, didn’t at least try to solve the hundred years long issue. EVEN THE COROIKA COMIC TACKLED THIS.

i got a little heated here. Apologies.

Long story short, i imagine and want to draw a long comic series with a part that reveals that Agent 4 has joined the octarians (their character is a great fit for this, actually) and attempts to create a place to live in the far, desolate desert. While it sucks and is very hard, it will prove that life there will be possible, even though it will be very basic at first. They must tackle the environment, looters confusing them for splatland territory invaders, and other roadblocks like diplomacy and legal troubles. The outer settlements would look like western towns, and there will be a huge emphasis on stained glass. Since these towns are very young, it will look like so, but in the years to come, Octotown (name subject to change) would become another beacon of culture in a new way. This also fits in with Splatoon’s theme of living life despite troubles and how life will continue after war (the Great Turf War and the Nuclear Humanitarian War). It also helped that the Wild West would fit the chaotic theme of Splat 3, and that change can lead to good things.

Unfortunately, i do not consider my skills good enough to draw this just yet. Enough talk, see ya.

can we stop doing this trope

Hello there, welcome to Michi rants about an AU she thought up just today. It may be a bit rough around the edges but who cares.

So, first and foremost, this au doesn't have a name yet (please suggest one) so I'm calling it the 'Oh fuck child experimentation au' for now.

The basic jist of the au is that Emperor's Parents are, really sketchy, and decide that in order to hold up their turf war legacy, Emperor's gonna need some enhancements, aka, they paid a group of science people to experiment on their first born child to make him better at turfwars.

Little did they know, the science people did some, other things to Emperor's fourteen year old self. I won't go into exact details but think giant shape-shifting tentacle limbs in his shoulder blades, but small buds for now at the time of experimentation.

So, everything basically happens as normal in Coroika, that is, until the Square-King cup. Emperor does NOT want Prince to go through whatever 'treatment' they put him through, and it looks as if his parents are considering doing the 'treatment' if he does any lower than his usual standard. So yeah, that's not good.

So after Team Emperor loses, you can imagine how fucked over he feels. So, before he decides to go on his Journey of self discovery that he does in canon. He warns Prince of the incoming danger that takes the form of their very own parents. He says that if their parents come up to him and say that they need to take him to the doctors for any reason, run, run as fast as he can and don't, look, back.

Now this is where we diverge from Canon, instead of working at the crust bucket at all, or even thinking about staying in Inkopolis. Emperor instead leaves and goes to the mountains, and upon Nightfall of his first night in the mountains, the buds within his shoulder blades finally bloom into the shape-shifting limbs they were meant to be, it's extremely painful, and Emperor is left, confused, scared and in a lot of pain after it.

The very next day after the Square king cup, Prince has a talk with his parents, the minute they mention doctors he excuses him self from the conversation and Super jumps out the closest window. So yeah, Prince is running away from home now.

So, Team New-peror is never formed, and after a few days of Prince being missing a search party is called, however, during those days the octo expansion arc begins. A week later and the Octo Expansion arc is finished and now we can all focus on finding out where the fuck Prince and Emperor are.

And that's all I have for the AU right now. But know one thing that someone does gain a confrontation with Emperor, I just wont say who it is.

What would be your Coroika Name and What's Your Top 3 Headcanons?

I actually do have a squidsona (link here) who follows the coroika naming convention! their name is classic! so I feel like either that, or maybe flip? I wear the king flip mesh both with my heavy and in real life, so!

top 3 hcs...... hm...... I could slap a load of my queer ones or one’s I’ve talked about before (like in the tags of this post) but we all know those. SO. UH.

(these use a timeline of two years of splatoon 1 from the launch of the game till the start of splatoon 2, and two years from the start of splatoon 2 till the ‘end’ at the final fest!)

a lot of people hc emperor and prince are related to pearl but I ALSO hc that pearl was actually the leader of the team until she dropped out to pursue music more, left emperor in charge, and prince took her place as the fourth member of the team. they had a move similar to emperor’s road, but it involved the team rushing to the middle and spreading out/painting in a spiral pattern. I don’t have a name for it yet, maybe pearl’s world? not sure. emperor was actually at the safer/easier back position for a while, because he was babyyyyy

ranks, weapons and modes were only standardised at the start of splatoon 1, so some of the older characters would have played before then and had custom weapons. weapons were therefore much harder to acquire as you’d be limited to what was available locally (with less weapon brands being around), most were made to order, and short range shooters were considerably more popular due to being easy to use, flexible to different situations (it was rare for people to own more than one or two weapons, so you had to be able to use your weapon in lots of different types of tournaments) and easy to manufacture, so there were more of them available. obviously pearl would have been turfing back then, but I also hc the entirety of the skull/vintage/aviators/omega team had custom weapons and were a team back then and part of the reason behind their breakup was the standardisation of ink sports (there were other motives too, but this played a part in it)

the S4, at time of creation (which was about 8 months into splatoon 1, with coroika starting one year into splatoon 1), were not necessarily the BEST players at the time, but some of the most iconic. skull being such a proficient sniper at his age was unusual due to the culture around custom weapons mentioned in the last hc (with the skull/vintage/aviators/omega team actually being formed over them all playing unusual or difficult classes of weapon, a 14-16 year old sniper was VERY strange), aloha is a basic high school jock success story but MUCH quicker, mask is actually somewhat at the front of a movement that’s basically turf war emo, called alternaturf, and army is ridiculously knowledgeable of strategies and match ups for someone of his age. When the S4 formed, skull was almost 17, mask had just turned 16, aloha was 15, and army was still 14 (army actually still being too young to play when splatoon 1 started)

wow that got long

Coroika Pirate AU part 2 (?)

Alright we’re back again :D I have a bit more info on the pirate AU which I’m gonna ramble about ig 

Here is part 1 of the AU if you’d like to read that first! 

I didn’t really get a lot of other character sketches done, other than Rider--- So i guess in this post I’ll be talking about him & some other characters in this AU! :D There won’t be any drawings in this post unfortunately, just more stuff about the characters :��) 

Enjoy :D 

(the infodump is after the cut, this might be another long post lmao----) 

Rider:

I might try to make a full character thing eventually--- I just haven’t had the chance to draw it out. So, I guess I’ll post that separately :/ Anyways! 

He’s technically a part of the S4 pirates, but he’s not on board with them. He’s an ally to them, but they’re not in the same ship.

Captain of the Chartreuse Pirates, which are another band of fearsome pirates. He’s also friends with the Blue Pirates (Goggles, Bobble Hat, Headphones, Specs) 

The Chartreuse Pirates is such a cool name fr

Sworn enemies with Captain Gloves (it’s more of a rivalry between the two, nothing serious)

He’s also somewhat well known across the seas for being as strong as the S4 pirates 

So basically, he was captured by Emperor’s army (Emperor’s family rules a kingdom in this AU) and separated from his crew. He manages to escape with a few injuries. After running away for some time, he eventually collapses somewhere because of his injuries. Aloha finds him and recognizes him as Captain Rider. After asking Skull what they should do, they decided to bring him aboard since his crew was nowhere to be found.

Rider wakes up a few hours later and he freaks out because he’s in the middle of the ocean aboard Captain Skull’s ship and his crew probably thinks he died or something and now he’s probably going to actually die because Captain Skull whatever evil pirates grrr and he has no boat and he can’t swi--

Anyways, Rider tries to escape but you can’t exactly get too far with a twisted ankle. Aloha found it pretty amusing though, hysterical even. 

Mask manages to catch Rider, sits him down, and gets him to chill out. He explains what happened and a whole “we’re not gonna hurt you” spiel

Eventually the S4 helps Rider reunite with his crew and as gratitude, Rider and the S4 become allies and help each other out whenever one needs it.

Rider is trying to be a kinder person

He’s pretty good at playing cards, specifically Blackjack and Speed.

Gloves:

Captain of the Dualie Pirates, a crew of pirates known for using two weapons. Two swords or two guns-- because they’re cool like that B) 

Captain Gloves is fairly new to the whole “pirate” biz, he thinks they’re cool and wanted in on the action overseas. 

He thinks Captain Skull is cool and wants to meet him someday, although his crew is HIGHLY opposed to this (they could probably die)

He also thinks the Wireglass Pirates are cool too and wants to be friends with their captain.

His crew also HIGHLY opposes this, as they are definitely going to die if they ever cross paths with the Wireglass Pirates. 

Gloves is bummed that he can’t meet the S4 pirates, but is still hopeful he’ll run into them eventually.

He’s friends with the Blue Pirates & Captain Hachi 

He’s fiercely competitive, he doesn’t take losing very lightly.

He doesn’t have any scars of his own-- yet, but he thinks they’re cool 

Gloves is friends with Prince, and sometimes sneaks into the kingdom to visit him 

He’s rather clumsy even though he tries to look cool

Emperor & Prince: 

(I put them under the same header since there’s not much about either of them) 

Emperor’s family rules over a kingdom, Emperor is next in line for the throne and he’s still learning to be a king alongside his younger brother.

Prince often sneaks out of the palace to wander around the town square. His brother actually knows about this, but chooses not to tell their parents. 

Emperor doesn’t really like pirates, but he does know a few of them. 

Emperor is aware that Gloves sneaks in to visit Prince, but he chooses not to do anything about it since his brother seems to enjoy Captain Gloves’ company.

Prince helped Rider escape after learning Rider knew Captain Gloves. 

The Wireglass Pirates: 

Everyone knows to stay out of the Wireglass Pirates’ way, as they are some of the most powerful pirates to patrol the waters. Even the S4 pirates steer clear of them. 

They supposedly got their name from their Captain, but it’s not really known where the name came from.

The Wireglass Pirates will try to take any ship they encounter, regardless of who it is. Very few survive their raids.

There are some rumors that the Wireglass Pirates serve Emperor, which explains why he hasn’t ordered anyone to stop them. However, it could also be because a lot of sailors are absolutely terrified of them.

Ocho is thought to be a part of this crew, but nobody really knows for sure. He’s mostly found away from the crew and hanging out by himself.

Ocho sometimes interacts with the S4 and Captain Rider. 

The S4 could probably beat them, but they don’t want to risk trying.

The Wireglass Pirates are also in possession of these things called “Black Labels” which temporarily disable weapons. But only the Captain is in possession of these. 

“Black Labels” are illegal and supposed to be outlawed in the seas. Not a lot of pirate crews use them. 

If Black Labels were stuck onto a pirate, they are unable to use their special ability for a little bit. 

aaaaand, I think I’ll just end the infodump here in case it gets too long to read :’] Thank you for reading! :D

Theft of a Crew (Coroika Pirate AU) Chapter 3

[Markiplier voice] Hello everybody my name is Sawdust welcome back to another chapter of Theft of a Crew.

Sorry this chapter took longer than usual, I was kinda struggling to put something things together but I hope you guys enjoy it :DD

Here's the usual things:

Main thread

Previous Chapter

Word Count: 1,1671 + some edits

====== [ ⚓ ] ====== [Message in a bottle]

“Goodbye! Come again!” 

The shopkeeper had eventually showed up and as Barreleye looked for something in exchange, the inkling offered something instead.

Barreleye held the message in a bottle as they left.

“You really didn’t have to do that, you know,” Barreleye said, holding the glass bottle in his hand, “I could’ve found something… I was thinking about trading in my telescope or something since I barely use it… Hey, by the way, I don’t think I ever got your name earlier—” 

“It was really no trouble at all!” The other inkling replied with a smile. The inkling completely avoided Barreleye’s question as they turned to leave, “I should get going now. Hey, by the way, do you know anywhere I could get a new coat? Mine's falling apart."

"Oh.. I'm not really familiar with the area, sorry..." Barreleye replied, tilting his head with concern, "But I'm sure there's plenty of clothing vendors around who are willing to help you out."

"Don't worry about it!" The inkling replied, "I'll figure it out!" They turned to leave. "I'll see you around!"

As Barreleye watched the other inkling leave, his gaze shifted to the bottle in his hand.

With a loud pop the cork came off and Barreleye slid out the paper inside. He unfurled the old piece of paper as he walked, careful not to accidentally rip it. The paper’s ink was mostly faded. It was a decently sized treasure map. There were golden ink stains and smudged, messy handwriting scribbled on the paper. 

Barreleye tilted his head with confusion as he looked at it. It was a rather messy sketch with a few islands sloppily labeled. The whole map looks as if it was made in a hurry and frantically thrown together. 

The map illustrated a part of the sea that Barreleye wasn’t familiar with. He then noticed a sloppily drawn landmark circled in bright red ink. He looked over the map with a puzzled look on his face.

He noticed there was a chunk of the map missing in the corner, drenched with black ink. It appeared to have been ripped off. Barreleye walked off to the side. He rolled the map back up and carefully placed it back into the bottle. 

“I should read more into it once I meet back up with the others,” Barreleye thought to himself as he continued to peruse the marketplace.

====== [ ⚓ ] ======

The sun was starting to set. Barreleye looked towards the horizon with his shadow looming behind him. He started walking back to the docks, where he was supposed to meet back up with his crew. 

Much to his surprise, as he approached the ship, he noticed it was eerily silent at the docks. There was also a ship parallel to his that wasn’t there before. It was quiet, too quiet. Barreleye tensed, he hurried down the cobblestone path and headed towards his ship.

“I hope everyone is alright… I wonder where they are,” he thought to himself. 

The cobblestone path ended as Barreleye stepped onto the wooden docks. A few members of his crew were walking around on the ship, moving crates and walking around. Barreleye sighed a breath of relief as he hurried over to them.

“Hey! Guys!” Barreleye exclaimed as he approached the ship, “Did Tako or anyone else come back yet?”

None of his crewmates on board responded. All of their heads were lowered as they walked. Barreleye tilted his head with confusion, walking closer to the ship’s ramp. He looked up, noticing that his pirate flag was missing from its post.

"...What happened while I was gone..?"

Barreleye tried to call out to his crewmates again, but none of them seemed to hear him. Their gaze was still fixated on what they were doing. There was also no sign of Tako, Mitsuami, or Hornmet aboard the ship.

“...Huh, I guess they haven’t come back yet…” Barreleye wondered out loud. He then looked at his crew with a worried expression on his face, “What are you all doing?”

He was still met with eerie silence. Barreleye walked onto his ship. He looked at his crewmates who were all walking around. Barreleye looked down, seeing bloodstains that soaked into the wooden deck. He could feel an icy chill as he stood there.

Barreleye tensed, clenching his fists. 

“What..happened…?” Barreleye asked in a quiet voice. Barreleye hurried in front of one of his crewmates, an octoling that wore a bright blue bandana around his head and a white shirt with black shorts.

Before Barreleye could say something, the crewmate stumbled out of Barreleye’s way and continued to walk towards a set of crates behind him. Barreleye tilted his head with confusion. As the octoling trudged past him, Barreleye could see a sense of emptiness in his eyes.

Barreleye quickly turned around and grabbed his crewmate’s arm. “Hey! Wait a second— What happened while we were gone? Are you alright?”

Panic started to creep into Barreleye’s voice. His crewmate yanked his arm free from the captain’s grasp and continued to walk forward. 

Barreleye then heard a noise behind him. The sound of a door opening and footsteps hitting the wooden deck.

"Well, what do we have here?"

Barreleye perked up. He heard the captain’s cabin door open and footsteps walking out of it. Barreleye slowly turned around, turning to face the stranger aboard his ship. There was a silvery blue inkling standing before the ship, a Kensa charger resting on his shoulder carelessly. He wore a pair of black shades that obscured his eyes and a black coat with golden trim. 

“You’ve got quite a nice ship here, Captain,” He smiled at Barreleye. He then looked around the ship, kicking his feet against the wooden deck, “I like what you’ve done with the place. I hope you don't mind I had to move a few things around."

"And who are you, exactly?" Barreleye asked.

He then extended his hand to Barreleye, a smile still on his face. “You can call me Hivemind. It really is an honor to finally meet you.” 

Barreleye hesitantly shook the latter’s hand.

“Wha— What did you do to them? My crew... they're all...” Barreleye stammered. He looked down, realizing the deck he was standing on was scattered with the bloodstains of his crew. He then looked back up at the emptied gazes of his crew. “They all seem—”

“Brainwashed?” Hivemind interjected, “Don’t worry Captain, I didn’t hurt them— for the most part… They’re doing just fine! Isn’t that right everyone?” Hivemind then looked over at Barreleye’s crew.

A few crewmates nodded in response. 

“Wha-What do you mean?” Barreleye snapped.

"I've gotta admit, your crew put up a fight," Hivemind continued, "It was a bit tedious rounding all of them up. I'll admit, that was the most fun I've had in a while."

“You really think I’m going to let you do all of this?” Barreleye took a hesitant step backwards. His fingertips dug into his palm as he tried to keep his composure. “What are you going to do, kill me or something?” 

Hivemind tilted his head with confusion. He laughed for a split second. “Kill you? That's some pretty strong word choices. Do you really think I would do something like that?” 

Hivemind then placed a hand on his chest. “I’m honestly a bit offended you think that lowly of me. We literally just met and you already think I'm some kind of- murderer.

"I was just going to have you join them, wouldn't that be something?" Hivemind smiled, "A crew is nothing without their captain, of course."

Barreleye hesitated for a moment, remembering that not all of his crew was aboard. Tako, Mitsuami, Hornmet, and a few others were still walking around town…

“We promised to meet back up at sundown…” Barreleye thought to himself, “I have to go warn them or—”

Just before Barreleye could leave, two of his crewmates blocked his path. The captain flinched and staggered backwards.

“Hold on a second,” Hivemind said bluntly, “Just where do you think you’re going? We’re not done talking here.”

Barreleye looked at his crew with an uneasy expression on his face. He took a deep breath. “If it’s treasure you want, you can have it. Just let my crew go.”

“It’s really nothing personal against you,” Hivemind replied nonchalantly, “Pretty soon, this whole thing is going to feel like a bad dream.”

Hivemind then smiled at Barreleye. “And you’ll join us. Whether you like it or not.”

Barreleye reached for his cutlass. He dug his heels into the wooden deck. Hivemind noticed this and sighed with frustration. He looked off to the side.

"Oh great, here we go again," Hivemind mumbled. “I suggest you choose your next steps carefully. You’re outnumbered. If you want this to be painless, you should drop the cutlass and do as I say."

“As if I’m going to surrender to the likes of you,” Barreleye scowled.

“That’s the least painful way to go. I wouldn't want to hurt you,” Hivemind replied, “Who knows when the other members of your crew will show up to help you. You’d probably already be in rough shape by then.”

"We were all supposed to meet back here, the others could show up any moment," Barreleye retorted. He looked at the emotionless gazes of his crew. "And I wouldn't want to hurt my own crew."

"No Captain would," Hivemind replied bluntly, "Doesn't matter who you are. I wouldn't want to hurt you either."

Hivemind then trailed his gaze to the brainwashed crewmates. "..But I'm sure they would."

Barreleye hesitated, tightening his grip around the cutlass' handle. He steadied himself, thinking of his next step.

Hivemind then tilted his head curiously. “So…
