#look all im saying is that DBK and Red Son in the OG show could've held a bit more of a grudge towards spider queen for the season 2 special

Octarian - Crab Conflict
As you may remembering me mentioning in the Spiders splatoon designs post I mention that because of the Octarians and Crabs having to share the underground that there’s a sort of war happening between them and I thought I’d expand on that a bit more.
The Conflict comes from the fact of there being limited resources underground already so the Octarians and Crabs are fighting over whats left while also having a race to see who can take over the surface first. This is why when the AU starts that the Octarians have started to take a more aggressive approach to the surface and steal the great zapfish. The Zapfish is thought to be able to power the octarians enough to not only fend off the crabs but also take over the surface.
While the Spider Crab Queen and DBK don’t really meet, she does have a few run ins with Iron fan and they have this sort of rivalry going on. She runs into Iron fan more because she’s an elite octoling and so Iron fan is most often the one commanding the armies while DBK hangs back - Spider Queen finds the fact that DBK hides away to be cowardly and often suggests that maybe Iron fan should take over, though this is mostly to get an edge on Iron fan rather than actually believing it. I mean, if it was to happen then a civil war in the octarians would make taking over the underground a lot easier~
The other Rivalry happening is of course Red son and Syntax. Both are the main technology experts in their respective groups and so they have this sort of rivalry where they keep trying to out do each other. And because they’re creating weapons and tech for the army it’s not seen as getting in the way of the war so no one really stops them - unless they start trash talking each other on the battle field for 20 minutes straight...then someone usually steps in to get them back on track.
In the hero mode it’s likely MK would run into both groups - as when the octarians brought the great zapfish underground the crabs of course heard of it and are also trying to steal it for their own power source. Once the zapfish are taken back to the inklings the groups go back to having a race to the surface but...things start to decline for the both groups rather quickly as they’re losing energy and neither of them can really keep it going. That is...until things start to turn  on the crabs side as the octarian forces start to mysterious disappear, leaving a lot of territory weak and open for the taking...and who’s this strange octoling the queen’s been talking to anyways? strange how octarians started to weaken  when she showed up...
