i thought about this (pretty dark but with a happy ending) coroika au/fanfic a bit ago that honestly i still really like, im just not attached to Ocho anymore and i wont ever write it so ill throw it out here

(prepare for an absolute YAP session here sorry)

(also sorry if this doesnt really fit the confessions blog format or something IDK IF THIS COUNTS AS A CONFESSION LMAO)

After being black labeled by Wireglasses, Ochos world completely shattered. He doesnt know what else to do bow since he basically revolved his life and goals around Wire and being strong, and noq that he realizes that Wire doesnt care about him like he does, hes broken.

Ocho doesnt speak to anyone after thus, and never takes the black label off his weapon even after Wire is defeated. He doesnt play any ink sports or salmon run either (during the salmon run arc ocho isnt there instead 8bit is in his place). Ocho also just thinks about whats happened to himself a lot too. He pretty much just isolates himself from everyone out of shame.

Eventually, Ocho decides to wander off in search of a new purpose in life, and stumbles upon Alterna in the crater. He searches around in Alterna, and ends up finding Mr. Grizz. Grizz, obviously taken aback by this random octoling in the Space Center, tries to attack and fuzzify him, but this fails. Sort of. Ocho does get fuzzified, but before it can affect too much of him and fully turn him, he cuts off his left arm that was affected by the ooze. Now he's partially fuzzy. His instinct and brain chemistry has changed a bit (they're more wolf-like now, but he's not completely feral) (just my personal fuzzy octoling hcs sorry) as well as his left tentacles being fuzzy now. Grizz see Ocho straight up amputate himself and is like "Woah that's crazy yknow i could use someone like you, care to join my workforce?" and Ocho's like "sure" cuz now he has a purpose! He can serve someone and be strong again! What more could he want?

So now Ocho's the general of the fuzzy army, and he even fixes some broken octarian weapons sometimes, but he's not the best so he and Grizz decide they're gonna need someone who CAN fix and make weapons better. They devise a plan.

Meanwhile in Splatsville, the big run arc has passed and stuff has mostly gone back to normal, people are doing turf wars again and there's no black labelling. Though, Barreleye and Mitsuami both feel off about how Ocho's disappeared. The others wave it off that he probably just moved to find a better place, but Barrel and Mitsu aren't convinced. Barrel, Mitsu, and Polpo meet up and talk about what's going on and Barrel and Polpo decide to go searching for Ocho.

They search the more deserted parts of Splatsville, including unpopulated areas with lots of sewer drains, and Barrel ends up getting kidnapped by a mysterious figure right in front of Polpo's eyes.

Polpo rushes back to Mitsu and tells her that her brother just got kidnapped. They try to make a plan, but they both need time to process what happened so they go their separate ways for a bit. Little did they know someone was listening to them.

During this time, Mitsu gets roped into being the new agent 3 by Cuttlefish since they got a new captain (Rider). Mitsu agrees at the moment cuz she thinks she can be neo agent 3 and help Polpo at the same time (she can't).

Yada yada Splat3 story mode happens which means Mitsu disappears for a bit cuz she's in Alerna, basically disappearing to Polpo and she thinks Mitsu also got kidnaped by the mystery figure. Polpo doesn't know what she's gonna do now since no one else knows about what's going on, except for one.

Shellmet appears and tells Polpo that she was eavesdropping on them talking about Barrel's disappearance and offers to help her search for him.

The two start searching again but outside of Splatsville instead and end up finding the crater leading to Alterna. They meet up with Mitsu and sort that stuff out and decide that Shellmet and Polpo will find a way to clear the rocket island while Mitsu does missions.

During this process, Polpo investigates one of the buildings in Happiness Research Lab (by breaking through one of the windows lol) and finds Ocho and Barrel fixing a weapon. Polpo tries to get Barrel, but after arguing with Ocho for a moment, Ocho pushes Polpo out of the window she came through.

Polpo thinks this is the end for her since she'll fall into water, but Mitsu catches her while riding on one of the riderails. They get back to Future Utopia Island and Polpo tells the others about what she saw, that Barrel was captured by Ocho and Ocho was working for Grizz now. Everyone is very worried about this, but they decide to make their way to the rocket island since they have all the treasures at that point. They do and once they get there, yada yada, Deep Cut shenanigans, Mitsu tells Polpo and Shellmet to split up in the Space Center and try to find Ocho and Barrel. They do and in one of the lab rooms, they find Barrel and guess who.

WIREGLASSES. They're both injured too (Wire more than Barrel but still), and Barrel is probably affected by the fuzzy ooze a bit (still not enough to turn him feral). Shellmet tells Polpo to go up to the launchpad while she tends to Wire and Barrel's injuries, so Polpo makes her way up to the launchpad and finds Mitsu, Callie, and Marie up there with Grizz. Grizz has that speech and stuff but at the end, he says he'd like to introduce them to the "employee of the month" and Ocho appears behind the others wielding a modified splatana. Grizz takes off on the rocket and leaves Ocho to fight the others.

Ocho challenges Mitsu to fight him, one to one, but Polpo isn't dealing with this shit and immediately attacks Ocho. Ocho gets knocked down and held at blaster-point by Polpo, then is like "you'll never take me alive!!!" and superjumps to the rocket with Grizz. Polpo and Mitsu are like "wait how did he do that isnt it in the sky how are we gonna get up there" and yayyyy Deep Cut appears and helps Mitsu and Polpo up.

They get to the rocketship and fight Mr. Grizz, but in his last phase, Ocho appears again and actually fights them. Ocho actually is starting to beat Mitsu and Polpo, but at the last moment, Mitsu says this cheesy cliche speech to Ocho and hugs him, which works somehow and snaps Ocho out of him being evil cuz "woah an actual hug that's crazy Imma not be evil anymore cuz hugs are nice"

Ocho turns to Grizz and is like "imma kill you but with the power of friendship instead" and so Ocho, Mitsu, and Polpo all beat up Grizz and then the final phase with Hugefry happens too and stuff yippie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They go back to Earth and the three have a talk about what happened and why Ocho left while on Octavio's mech suit thing. The three sort it out and land back on the ground where the rest of the NSBS, Shellmet, Barrel, and Wire are waiting for them. Ocho apologizes to Wire and Barrel and says he's probably just gonna stay in Alterna or something, but Mitsu's like "nah you're coming back up to Splatsville to get therapy" so they go back up.

Ocho realizes that when he has friends by his side instead of paid workers and isn't serving anyone, he's much happier. Ocho even starts getting back into turf wars and becomes a splatana stamper main. He also obviously gets help and gets better mentally.

Maybe everything will be ok after all.

The end

SO SORRY FOR MAKING YOU READ ALL THAT IDK WHAT I WAS COOKING BUT I THINK I BURNED IT

im too coroikapilled for this world💔

anyway bye

EATS THIS???? NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE THIS IS ACTUALLY SO COOL

[coroangst-confessions]

i wish there were more bat shit insane aloha backstories. like rn im making an au where he just has no hangups abt murder, or kidnapping, or manipulation, or basically anything that can get him what he wants.

i need that bitch FUCKED UP INSANE and being his shitty little dnd bard self. nya :3

OOOOOH YES YES YES YESY YES!!

love how you said "dnd bard self" it immediately reminded me of my dnd/fantasy au lolz

he needs to be eviller in that au....

[coroangst-confessions]

Aloha is totally a huge people pleaser, It made him depressed, enough said.

Also I want more Vintage x Skull angst 🐟

YES YES AND YES!!!!!!

[coroangst-confessions]

Literally any rider angst

one of my favorite breeds of coroangst. goggles angst and aloha angst are also up there

[coroangst-confessions]

What if there's an aloami AU, in which Aloha gets possessed and while possessed, tries to stab Army with a knife.

Because he doesn't want to kill Army, Aloha regains a tiny bit of control, and using that control, stabs himself with the knife in order to protect Army.

Army starts crying a bit, and Aloha says he couldn't let Army die as he's got so much to live for.

AAAAAAA THE ANGST……….THIS IS SO COOL ACTUALLY…….

[coroangst-confessions]

npacer angst is so peak tho

IM SO SORRY I FORGOT TO ANSWER THIS 😭😭 anyway you are so correct anon

[coroangst-confessions]

we need more fics that are just what if rider has this one psychological disorder

love it 10/10 give him clinical depression

YES YES YES YES I 1000000% AGREE

[coroangst-confessions]

Is it that obvious that it's me

only because you've said that before in the server, sorry 😭

[coroangst-confessions]

I headcanon that Rider's mom died when he was a little kid and his dad was abusive and queerphobic

(He's had a tough life)

aww poor rider :(

but also

sorry

also i have a feeling i know who this is but i wont reveal it since youre under anon

[coroangst-confessions]

Coroika characters are better with trauma

(i agree. it gives them more depth i think)

[coroangst-confessions]

hi i'm the anon that said we should give emperor angst more. i think i should clarify that i love emperor as a character, i just wish people would explore his character more (and the other characters in general!) through headcanons and stuff lol

if this doesn't get submitted for some reason, here's another confession: we gotta project more into our favs. we gotta make them suffer a little as a treat ❤️

OH YES TOTALLY!!!! I LOVE GOGGLES AND THE S5 AND IM ALWAYS GIVING THEM ANGST LEFT AND RIGHT!!!

also hell yeah to the second one

[coroangst-confessions]

i think we should normalize giving trauma to emperor. there's too much angst between gorai (and as a gorai fan i really do enjoy most of the fics out there) but what about any of the other characters (for example, the dumbass white boy i just mentioned)

hell yeah give that man angst

i should write more emperor angst now that i think of it

i have a friend who really likes emperor angst

[coroangst-confessions]

one day I would love to write a huge ass fic that just explores how on earth the new squidbeak splatoon happened and what happens when the law catches up with it's members (goggles, rider, skull etc.)

Like what if spy drama. but coroika.

ofc, it would be very screwed up, it's the military trying to kill some teens they manipulated, but there would be a happy ending in which the gang screw off to the splatlands and the government can't do anything abt it.

sry for yapping but I want these bitches (goggles) fucked up and in distress

I WOULD READ THE FUCK OUT OFO THAT THAT SOUNDS SO COOL

[coroangst-confessions]

Giving Goggles angst is fun

I 1000000000000% AGREE!!!!!!!!!

also referring to your last ask, just checked and anon asks are on, might be a problem on your end?

[coroangst-confessions]

Anon asks are off. Was that intentional?

THEY ARE???? I COULD'VE SWORN I HAD THEM ON OOPS

[coroangst-confessions]

I like to write fics where Omega dies or suffers or appears to die and Vintage has to watch.

hell yeah

[coroangst-confessions]

need more goggles angst in my LIFE grrrrrrrhjsahfkjshjfshajsj

i know what you are.
