#GO CHECK OUT MY FRIENDS ART AND STUFF!!!!

[animalsalvationassociation]

does Tweak glow-in-the-dark like in the books in your AU?

my idea is the reason why her dad, Ranger Marsh didn't like technology in his introduction is he spent like the first twelve years of his life in a lab with a bunch of technology before escaping with one of the scientists kid, Tweaks mom who I'm calling Katy for now. so Marsh(or Mason when he was young) was a jellyfish rabbit experiment where he has jellyfish DNA that makes him green and glow-in-the-dark. that's a real thing, search up jellyfish rabbits. so Tweak inherited the jellyfish DNA and subconsciously hides it from the others because her parents always told her never to tell anyone about the glow-in-the-dark thing.

“Does Tweak Glow in the Dark?”

[ DO NOT REPOST, ALL ART & CONCEPTS WERE MADE BY ME ]

Digital Illustration Time: 14hrs 10min

I have two answers for you, it's kind of like a choose your own adventure in a way. There's the "haha silly way", and then there's the serious way (this one I actually lean more towards, because it gives something to write about, but I love them both).

(Tweak’s headcanons/backstory will be linked at the bottom! I totally recommend reading it because it gives a little bit of light on Marsh and her lovely mama, Terry)

Silly Answer:

When Tweak was a kid she drank a bunch of glow sticks, thinking she'd get superpowers, and instead poisoned herself. Only to find out later that she did somehow gain "super powers", but the only super power she has is glowing in the dark. 🤣 Leading to a running joke that she still believes she could get super powers but it based only on the color of glowstick. (A Superhero Au idea anyone?~ lol)

Serious Answer:

I can only think of one other solution to this question . . . Radiation poisoning.

She was a teenager at the time and it was summer vacation. The heat got to them fast, so Tweak and her friends would go off to swim every day seeing as it was the best way to cool off. They'd stay out until sunset exploring the Everglades like it was their backyard, and let's be honest it basically was.

But little did they know even dipping your toes would end in disaster. Over the course of the summer people would start getting sick, really sick, including themselves. One day Tweak fainted, and when she woke up, her dad had driven her all the way to the clinic to get checked out.

It took them a while to figure out what was wrong, but by the end of the summer almost the entire town was locked up in the hospital with radiation poisoning. Thankfully her dad wasn't too badly effected, a few dizzy spells here and there, headaches, and nausea. Unfortunately Tweak herself got the worst of it.

They would find out later that a nearby factory had begun leaking radiation into the water and surrounding areas. The factory had already been known for it's harmful ways on the Everglades and the creatures that lived there. The people in charge didn't really care for the environment, so they didn't mind sending their men out to dump waste into the rivers and surrounding forests. The factory was shut down but the damage had already been done.

One of the side effects, depending on how exposed you were, was glowing fur/skin. Now yes, radiation and even Radium (if you've ever heard of the Radium Girls) aren't actually supposed to make you glow unless you are exposed to high levels, and even when you're exposed it's not always prominent to the naked eye.

However, as you might've guessed, Tweak was HEAVILY exposed and it was bad. She was one of the few who began developing ARS (Acute Radiation Syndrome). (Sadly some of her friends also developed this as well)

Symptoms:

Weakness/Fatigue.

Nausea and Vomiting

Vomiting blood

Rectal bleeding (bloody stools)

Diarrhea

Fever

Confusion

Hair loss

(Pretty unsavory stuff, huh?)

I think once she and her dad realized what it was, she immediately started getting treatment for it. But by that time is was already affecting her. Some days it's so bad that she can’t even walk without using a cane or crutches. Low and behold that's actually one of the reasons why Tweak doesn't do very many missions at the beginning of the series.

I think for a good long while she actually doesn't tell anyone except probably the captain. She trusts him more than the others at first. Overtime she does let her team in on her little secret, but I can confidently say, the very next person she told was Kwazii.

She's doing better now, like I said some days are better than others. Over the few years that the team has been together, there have only been a small handful of close calls. On difficult days she has fainted before, those are specifically her rest days. As soon as she's on the floor, everyone's main priority is getting her into a bed, and it doesn't always have to be her's. Sometimes it's just the one that's closest.

The team has been more than supportive, I would say especially Kwazii and Shellington. Kwazii being her go to when she needs help walking around or doing tasks, while Shellington is more of a vent buddy. He has his own disabilities so he knows how hard it is to function sometimes. It's really been something they've been able to bond over.

That being said, Kwazii does tease her a lot, but it's out of love. He knows that it sucks to feel stuck in one place and he doesn't ever want her to feel like she can't do things. Especially because her ARS has basically morphed into several other conditions, some of which she's still learning about. So most of the ARS is gone, but because she was exposed for so long she began to develop other issues.

(Peso must be so worried over her omg)

Honesty at the end of the day . . . I claim both ideas for her. I think it would be funny if she consumed glow sticks as a kid (because that just sounds like something she'd do) and then got radiation poisoning as a teen. So in my head, she knows she could get super powers (so she claims) but doesn't try it because she doesn't want to experience the after effects of the chemicals, because of the crap the radiation has put her through.

It's both hilarious and sad to me lol – Anyways let me know your thoughts. I wanted to give this an actual answer, because this comic took me so long to accomplish. Most of those 14hrs came from just the first panel, and that's the main reason I put this off for so long, because I was so frustrated with it. But that's what art's about right? It's trail and error, and boy was there a lot of error!

Thank you again @hannahstales ! I really do appreciate your ask! I've been looking for an excuse to do another "documentary" styled "ask "answer" for the Octonauts! Heaven knows I spend way too much time on lore that I forget to make my asks seem like they actually take place within the universe.

TOLD YOU I'D BE DOING MORE! Here's the full artwork of the second "fake thumbnail" I've done, for rekrap2's "Getting Every Armor in Minecraft (it took 800 days)" video!

I also actually did a speedpaint for this!!! Here's the link!

I spent longer on this than I meant to (around 9 hours as opposed to the like 3 hours I meant... whoops) mostly because I decided it'd be fun to try and do the background rather than JUST use a screenshot. Oh my days it took so much longer than I thought and I already went into it KNOWING it'd probably take a bit.

Kind of fitting given that's rekrap's sentiment about the whole armour trim thing but I digress haha!

I definitely reccomend checking out the armour trim series and the video this "fake thumbnail" is for, because it was a blast to watch, and I also just reccomend checking out rekrap's content in general! He's one of my favourite mcytbers atm and his stuff is great!! :D

Will be making a seperate post about the speedpaint just in case tumblr tanks this one for having a link :)
