Introducing “Coroika Shoe AU”

A collaborative effort by three souls to bring you the AU where everyone is named after their shoe!

The Coroika Shoe AU (Shoe AU for short) is an AU of the Corocoro Splatoon Manga where everyone is named after their shoe!

Why does Shoe AU exist?

“i wanted consistency in the names” - mod bobble

"Because I have no life and absolutely loved the idea of fucking over the characters personalities" - mod specs

“I’ve been obsessing over coroika for the past year and shoes are cool so why not make an au for this with friendos.“ - mod headphones

What can you expect from Shoe AU?

“similar names bc similar shoes. also personality changes, those exist here as well” - mod bobble

“Insanity, randomness” - mod specs

“Shoes” - mod headphones

Who are you people, anyway?

“the man behind the slaughter, squid form :D” - mod bobble

“im a stupid specs kinnie“ - mod specs

“Your local yg team stan“ - mod headphones

Follow for more shoe-related shenanigans, coming soon!

[coroika-shoe-au]

we already have team orange and rider. what about the blue team?

they’ll pop up eventually :D -mod bobble

[coroika-shoe-au]

How are you going to handle characters that change their shoes over the course of the story? I think all of Blue Team changed their shoes in the Deepsea Metro, but along with that there’s characters like Specs who change it between Splatoon 1 and Splatoon 2, right? I curious to see what you guys have came up with!

Heya Gryph!

Only Blue team actually change their clothes over the course of the manga (besides hero mode) so that’s a very good question!

In general, only Headphones and Specs have actually changed their shoes in the transition from Splat1 to Splat2. And since both of the former’s shoes are red, well, we just named her Red. (totally not related to me being mod headphones cough cough)

We just ignored the plum casuals Specs wore and named him Smoky! It’s cuter than Plum, anyway.

For Octo Expansion, they have temporary names! Codenames, if you will. Bobble in this au is called Purple, but in OE she’s named Truffle! The rest follow suit.

[coroika-shoe-au]

yep that’s the gist of it haha

smoky gets a lot of confusion from other squids regarding his name in splat1, but at that point in time he’s still figuring things out about being trans and not fully out yet, so. ‘smoky.’

 in my head, shoe au goggles probably just went “we look like spies we should have codenames!” and everyone just agreed lol

Introducing Octo! Despite his name, he’s most definitely not an Octarian. The same can’t be said for his teammates though...
