Guys hear me out okay? I had a vision of a dumb pink corruption au idea
You know how Iris’ family took Pentellow in? So like, what if they took her in as a personal bodyguard for Iris.
Hear me out, Pentellow, due to her increased resistance would make a pretty good bodyguard, and I can see Iris’ parents getting him a personal guard to not only to keep him safe but also make sure he’s not getting into trouble or whatever.
And I imagine Iris being super bothered by having someone constantly following him around at first but eventually growing fond of Pentellow and even slowly but gradually developing feelings for her <3
I might draw a sketch or two of this au later because like, I think it could be cute
Okay so a little announcement? I suppose
I’ve started working on a little pink corruption au so I thought I may as well share what I’ve come up with so far.
This au is kinda like a reimagining of the pink corruption but I’ll try slowing down the pacing and focus on things the original didn’t and I personally would’ve liked to see more of or changing a few things up (just so this is clear I do not want to come off as if I’m “fixing” the original, on one hand yeah I don’t like all of the writing in the og series and I feel like there’s a lot of room for improvement, on the other hand however I’m no professional or particularly experienced writer and I’m just doing this for fun)
Now onto what I’ve cooked up so far: (I’m still planning on rewatching the entire series again for inspiration so stuff might still change)
I want the main focus to be on the plot but also on the caretakers and their heroes, mostly how they all cope with everything and their relationships with one another.
So with that said, here’s a rundown on what I have planned for some of the heroes and caretakers:
Cube- At only 19 years old Cube was chosen as the fourth caretaker, understandably this caused him a lot of distress and anxiety. He was barely an adult, he had other plans for his future and he did not at all feel capable of bearing such a responsibility. But that was all irrelevant and in the end he was given his hero on that dreaded day. It did not take Cube long to grow attached to the little cyan hero, he couldn’t hold anything against the little guy, he was clearly just as powerless when it came to the choice as he was, and so slowly he pushed his hesitation aside. He was a caretaker now, it did not matter whether or not he wanted this. Cyan was more important. But one night Cyan awoke scared from a terrible vision, Cube still couldn’t understand a word from the incoherent beeps of his hero and Cyan refused to calm down. Before the break of dawn Cube found himself following his hero to the cave Dub was sealed in. And we all know the story from there, they don’t fix the seal properly, Dub breaks free, the corruption begins and Cube himself gets corrupted. This is all more than stressful for Cube, but he doesn’t have the opportunity to dwell on his feelings. He’s a caretaker now. A corrupt one to make things worse. A corrupted caretaker that knows full well people don’t trust him because of it. One that knows if he dare get too close to his hero, it will only strengthen his corruption. And after accidentally attacking his already hurt hero he makes the painful decision of distancing himself as much as he can from Cyan to ensure his corruption can’t get any worse. “For Cyan’s sake”
Pyrare- The first of all the caretakers. The man who had been there to see it all, from the start of the corruption till the fall of his own son. After he’d initially ended the corruption he had wanted to go into mourning in privacy, to deal with the loss of his first and only son. However life had other plans and had assigned him the role of a caretaker. He didn’t get the chance to properly cope. In the midst of having to fight his own son and getting corrupted he’d been gifted with the burden of taking care of another child, his beloved hero Gold. Even if it hurt, he took Gold in after the corruption, it took them both time to heal together but they both grew close afterwards. Though Pyrare still refused to open up about Barracuda despite how much Gold asked and begged him to. Together with Gold he lived a quiet and still life in the mountains as most monsters do, away from other shapes, somewhere they could both be safe and never have to worry about anything again. He knew running away from his responsibility of making sure Dub was kept at bay was selfish, but he just couldn’t face him. And so for years he had to just blindly trust whoever the other caretakers ended up being to ensure peace stayed in Paradise… Till one day all of his worst fears caught up with him once more…
Cyan- (Now for this one I need to explain a little change I made to how heroes work. You know that “baby” form the heroes have when they are first born? The one where they can’t really talk or do much? Well, instead of just immediately being able to develop their next form and the ability to speak, they have to have a bit of time in just their “baby” form. Usually this phase of their development does not take more than a week, however things like getting injured, prematuring or other outside stresses can cause this phase to last longer) Cyan is the youngest and least experienced of the four heroes, despite not knowing what he’s doing and being not even a year old he feels very responsible for everything going on. He’s determined to fulfill his duties as a hero and the expectations of everyone around himself. Though deep down he’s just a very scared and confused child clinging to the one sense of belonging he has. After the corruption started Cyan ended up getting injured and found himself incapable of growing up from his initial form as much as he tried. He didn’t want to be so much weaker than the other heroes, he didn’t like relying on them to translate everything he wanted to say to non-heroes and most importantly of all he wanted Cube to stop ignoring him.
Gold- Being the oldest of the heroes Gold feels a responsibility over the other heroes, almost like an older brother. He cares a lot about the people around him even if Gold isn’t always the best at showing it. He grew up fairly isolated from other shapes and so has had very little experience when it comes to socialising growing up. (Also he tends to be a bit bitter towards shapes that make a big deal out of Pyrare being a monster, Pyrare has told him several times that it’s understandable and that he doesn’t mind but Gold still takes offence for him) He and Pyrare are very close and rarely get into serious arguments but when they do it usually involves Barracuda one way or another. Gold is very aware of just how similar he and Barracuda are, Pyrare doesn’t like admitting it but he’s over-spoken in arguments enough times for Gold to connect the dots.
(((I’ll write about Iris, Pentellow and their heroes later if anyone will be interested but I feel like this is already waay to long as is, if you’ve read the whole thing up to this point then I genuinely applaud and thank you)))
Okay pink corruption fandom, I need your help
I’m struggling to find pink corruption fanfics to read, so y’know if any of you happen to have some that you’ve recently read somewhere or maybe even wrote yourself I’d be very very thankful for a link :3
I’m absolutely not picky about the genre, ships, aus honestly at this point I’m willing to Google translate non-English fanfics and trying to see how well that works
I made a pink corruption oc :3

She’s Pyrare’s ex-wife and Barracuda’s mom
Pearl and Pyrare got together mostly due to the pressure both of their families put on them to get married and settle down. Neither of them really felt any romantic attraction to the other but they do love each other dearly.
Personality wise Pearl comes off as pretty aloof and quiet at first, she’s a very excitable and curious person deep down though. She’s just kinda hard to read.
Other than being Pyrare’s ex-wife she’s also a good friend of Ajacenus, it was actually through her that she first met Pyrare.
Okie so here’s a very unorganised rant about my pink corruption oc Pearl! :3
(@astronic-fr sorry for the ping but I saw you ask about her in the tags of my previous post so yeah-)
I briefly went over her personality before but I’ll go into some more depth.
Pearl’s an introvert, she’s not that good at reading the room or socialising so she tends to just stick to herself most of the time. However once she does get emotionally attached to someone she’s a very loving and loyal person, does she disappear into the woods for a few weeks? Yeah, but Pearl will always come back to you. (If anyone here knows the Moomins she’s kinda like Snuffkin in that regard)
Pearl’s also a very adventurous and easily excitable person, she likes travelling around paradise and seeing new places. (Barracuda ended up inheriting this endless curiosity- for better or worse) She’s easily distracted by things around her and so conversations with Pearl are doomed to trail way off topic.
Now as for her lore with Pyrare:
Pearl and Pyrare met through a mutual friendship with Ajacenus.
The two of them ended up becoming close friends themselves. They’re both more on the quieter side and Pyrare didn’t mind her occasional eccentricity. Pearl was always fond of his kind-hearted and patient nature.
As Pearl got older her family started putting pressure on her to settle down with someone (partially since they believed it would get her head out of the clouds), she never really liked the idea of marriage and starting a family but it didn’t really seem like she could do much else with her life.
So, since Pyrare was one of her dearest friends Pearl thought I’d be only logical for the two of them to get married.
Pyrare himself wasn’t against the idea, he did want to start a family even if his relationship with Pearl didn’t feel quite like how others had described romance.
And so they got married.
It took both of them a good few years to slowly realise neither of them were really romantically interested in one another, for a while they still tried to make it work but in the end they both wanted very different futures.
Pyrare always craved stability and peace, he wanted to start a family and spend the rest of his life in a small comfortable house.
Meanwhile Pearl finds the idea of settling down and staying there agonising. Not to mention the thought of being responsible for a child terrified her.
So they eventually came to a compromise of sorts, they had Barracuda but split up right after. Barracuda stayed under Pyrare’s care, and once he got the hang of being a parent Pearl left. The two of them stayed in contact and Pearl still visited them frequently, being a sort of “cool aunt” figure for Barracuda.
Now, during the events of the first corruption and Barracuda’s death Pearl wasn’t nearby. So she only learnt of the whole incident after it had all already happened from Pyrare when she came back.
Pearl was devastated, even if she hadn’t been a mother to Barracuda for most of his life he was still her baby. She still loved him dearly. In her initial shock and grief Pearl said a lot of things to Pyrare she didn’t really mean, he didn’t take that well.
After Cuda’s death Pyrare isolated himself from pretty much everyone other than Gold (whose existence Pearl didn’t even know about, Pyrare didn’t intentionally hide him but Pearl snapped way before he could begin explaining the caretaker ordeal to her), Pearl herself went into mourning for a few years but unlike Pyrare she soon was back in touch with her loved ones.
Pyrare practically disappearing worried those who knew him. Particularly Ajacenus, even when Pearl still didn’t want to talk to him Ajacenus tried to reach out to him several times. After a while even Pearl grew concerned, but despite the many letters she sent to Pyrare over the course of several years she never got a response.
And so life had to move on.
Pearl has managed to somewhat cope with the whole ordeal but she still blames herself for both lashing out at Pyrare at a time he needed support the most and a part of her also blames herself for Barracuda’s death, maybe if she had been more present in his life she could’ve prevented it somehow…
Also some random lighthearted fun facts so I don’t end this on a depressing mood:
•Pearl has tried to learn how to knit before and despises it with her entire soul, she likes watching Pyrare knit though
•She has a lot of random acquaintances all over paradise
•Both her and Pyrare love physical affection
•When they were younger she used to constantly drag Pyrare out to go on silly adventures or to go exploring with her
•She lived with Ajacenus and her sisters for a short while after Cuda’s death
