I feel bad for being so inactive and not drawing much art here because im working on my AMV, so here's a sneak peak of a shot of that AMV that took me like 5 hours or something.

This is not the final shot, however, as the final shot will be timed, lipsynced, and it will probably have a different background as well!

CW : DEPICTION AND DESCRIPTIONS OF BODY HORROR AND DEATH‼️‼️

==================================

IM ADDICTED TO MAKING AU'S, I CANNOT HE STOPPED!!!! AAAAUUUGGGHHHHHH

Anyway....... In honor of spooky month (and because I love spooky things) take my new "Undead AU" ------ Octonauts, but everyone was cursed by a horrible eldritch being and now continue their afterlives as zombies and ghosts!

Barnacles is a zombie --- his death was by drowning. This leaves his reanimated corpse constantly waterlogged and his lungs filled with water (yum, hydration). He can barely speak. Also, you can't see it in this drawing, but Barnacles is fused with the Octopod from the knees down. He can go anywhere within it, but he can not leave.

Kwazii is a ghost --- his death was by the Gup-B exploding, which left nothing of his body, which is why he's a ghost. ( @batbitesthebat frankenkwazii type shii, except I didn't do that on purpose, nor can Shellington bring him back)

I freaking love this au, it's been in the back of my mind for a while, and I finally had a moment of inspiration to make it! I love the colors of these piece, and poor Barnacles looks so wet (literally) and miserable >:3

Frankenstein AU - is there really no cure for me? Dr. Peso tells me my left arm is at critical risk of permanent physical paralyzation.

Quick frankenkwazii question:

Okay so I know that with something like this, you of course have to bend the rules of reality (I mean. The Octonauts itself isn’t much better.) But since you’ve decided to take a more realistic approach to this kind of AU than I normally see, I wanna ask: How does Kwazii’s body actually still function? Albeit barely. Like, is there some other kind of supernatural thing at play or is it just that he’s built different?

(Sorry if this is confusing 😭)

Hi, thanks for the question xddddddd!1! There aren't any supernatural elements at play here, his revival itself is, what I'd say, the unrealistic, unnatural stuff. So my answer is that he's built different lol. Well I think more of it like this:

His revival and survival are the fictional, nonsensical elements. But how do I push it to make it as realistic as possible? How can I work around a relatively cartoony concept (except for me taking the liberty of giving him the element of his limbs having the ability to fall off and be stitched back together again)

Because I wanted the frankenstein AU to be horror-oriented rather than a bittersweet reunion story or something to the like, I decided that the horror would be best-rooted in realism. I think the concept of rotting away alive and being unable to do anything about it would be way more horrific than if he was like, you know, a more fiction-oriented monster. His functioning can only be possible with a ton of daily physical support, and even then he still cannot do basic things like go out on missions, eat solid foods, or walk for a long amount of time. His body is working incredibly hard to keep him alive to the point of exhausting itself, which is why he sleeps for twelve hours a day instead of our usual eight- he needs constant nutrition, constant supervision, and to constantly expel waste in any way he could. These factors all help him stay alive but even then I wouldn't consider him functioning, he is barely like you said, but he struggles with his executive function due to damage to his prefrontal cortex, so he has problems with taking care of himself as well, even though he strives for independence. And with his declining mental and physical state, though he might be barely functioning now, who's to say that this is going to last any longer?

In the midst of me working on the music vid, I have some Frankenstein au doodles to share <3

Frankenkwazii can come across as uncaring and snarky because the damage to his pre-frontal cortex has reduced his inhibitions.

[batbitesthebat]
