Maritime Memory (Various Splatoon/Coroika Drafts)

Meeting their shadows (Coroika)

@ Shadow Headphones marry me challenge go

This only includes certain characters, sorry about that. This is under the assumption that the Reader doesn't have a shadow as well. ,,,Bro if I had a shadow she would be literally so cool why can't I have one :(((

Rider

- Haha did I say meeting their shadows? Not this time. Shadow Rider avoids you because he's scared you'll think he's a coward and not as good as the original Rider :(

- And by scared, I mean he literally runs away whenever you make eye contact. The truth is that he DOES want to talk to you but he can't work up the nerve to. So sometimes you'll catch him staring for a split second before he scurries away.

- Rider honestly prefers it this way, though. He doesn't want you to see him in such a cowardly light, even if it's technically not the real him. So he keeps a protective arm wrapped around you when his Shadow comes around, just to make sure that doesn't happen.

Goggles

- Shadow Goggles is actually pretty unnerving because the first time you saw him he was just,,, Staring and smirking at you. You didn't know what he was planning but you didn't like it. You tried to tell Goggles but he brushed it off like "Aw he just wants to be your friend (Y/N) :D" "Honey he looks at me like he's planning my murder"

- Luckily it wasn't your murder that he was planning! It was just your kidnapping. ...Not much better but he ended up kidnapping you after Team Blue won back Lil' Judd in the last battle. He wanted to use you as a "bonus round" where it was just him and Goggles, fighting over who got to have you.

- And obviously it was stupid because you'll only ever love Goggles, but Goggles didn't see it that way. He had never been more determined to win a battle. "No it's okay!!! I'll win your love again (Y/N)!" And that he did <3 So yeah, Shadow Goggles doesn't care too much for you besides as a pawn to use against Goggles. That's probably for the better.

Specs

- 💀💀💀 He is so fucking embarrassed he doesn't want you anywhere near those,,, Those,,,, Things,,, Specs did everything he could to hide you from them, but it was futile. His small brain Shadows whisked you away while his back was turned.

- His anxiety had never been worse than that moment. He went frantic, thinking of all the terrible things they could be doing to you. But when he finally found you being surrounded by his Shadows, you were happily laughing...?

- As it turns out, his Shadows really like you! They only took you away because he wouldn't let them get near. They're very entertaining and will give you tons of attention, even if they're kinda strange. (He still gets uncomfortable when he sees you around them though)

Headphones (Ohh my fukicning gonsh I'm gonna explode please date me shadow headphones,,, may I put the ring on your finger,,,)

- So not only is Shadow Headphones mean and uptight, she's also a lot more bold than her counterpart is. Like Shadow Goggles, she isn't interested in you as a person, but as a means of taunting her counterpart. She wants to see how far she can go before her counterpart snaps.

- When you first meet, she'll act very flirty and low-key creepy around you. Taking your hand, leaning into your side, saying weird stuff, etc. Headphones would feel terrible as she watches from the sidelines. She wants to defend you, but her legs are trembling out of anxiety...

- Nothing changes until Shadow Headphones tries to kiss you. Her fear was thrown out the window, replaced by the need to protect you. She pushed her away and told her off, before taking you to a quiet place so she could make sure you were alright. The only good thing that came out of the experience is that Headphones learned how to stand up for you.
