[cookiecrumbles52palace]

I wanted to hop on this little bandwagon because I've been working very hard on the lore of the Octonauts world for a while now. If you want to understand a bit more there is a link below to my Octonauts Au Sub Blog. The pinned post explains it in simpler and more poetic terms than the actual science behind it which I wanted to go over in this reblog.

(I apologize for how long this is, I've been working on these ideas since the beginning of last year so there's a lot I haven't been able to show through my art just yet. I also suggest looking at the extra info I gave for Prof. Inkling's lore. And I promise there's an actual answer to the villain thing, but I have to explain my reasonings first.)

The A.S.A.

To really answer the question, however . . .

In worlds like this, I never consider humans as possibilities, it's just like any other Anthropomorphic world like Kung Fu Panda, or Zootopia. The evolution of humans just never happened, so I treat it more as an alternate reality/dimension/etc., as in our worlds work exactly the same but evolution was changed so something else dominated the earth. The Butterfly Effect basically.

To add to that I've seen the "radiation" / "alien" jargon all before, and the only reason I don't implement it is because it makes me uncomfortable. My brain works in ways of fantasy and alternate worlds, science (yada yada). Where things can just be different and we don't need to complicate it with "Humanity offed itself cause lol we stupid."

For me that's just a lazy daisy answer, like "Hey Godzilla roams the earth only 'cause humans were too scared to be his roommates" (I promise I'm mostly joking with that one, that's a ref to Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters if anyone was wondering why the left field)

For me, in this world the creatures of the Earth made two different choices, either stay as they are and let nature take its course, or evolve themselves. And thus certain species did in fact evolve while some didn't.

I'm currently working on several villains that are prime examples of coevolution. Same species that have gone both ways. Some chose to stick with nature while others changed, but both working together to bring unity.

Example:

Black Tack, is one of my main antagonists. He's the leader of an extremely influential organization that is against all of the government's attempts to bring peace to the world. He's supposed to be this big scary guy so I decided to make him a walrus. A very powerful creature who, if they could stand, would be massive. I mean they're cool right? And for me as an artist it's great for character design.

But as the Octonauts world has already presented walruses, as we know them, aren't evolved in that way. So that's where I diverge in my AU.

Think of it in the way of tribes and families, everyone can take on education, skills, and talents, but they are the ones to choose which ones to actually learn and use (*Cough Cough* Prof. Inkling) in their own lives. Over time those families split apart and made their own colonies or groups and then civilizations began to form.

In the AU that I created, I decided to make a peace organization to help cultivate land and politics better. But some would rather lean into their more territorial/instinctual tendencies, or in better terms their hunting/tribal rituals. While most have been able to live off the land and come to certain agreements over the years, others feel that it is oppressing their true nature. That's where I bring poaching and black market trades into the story.

(Obviously I'm taking a darker turn with it but I don't go much into detail other than mentioning it within the story because its a big problem. It's also canon if you remember what Ranger Marsh said in the episode "The Great Swamp Search" about animals being taken on as pets)

That then brings up the issue of predators, I mean how do they eat? And for me I see it more as traditions, and culture. If they had the technology and resources I believe all of these animals would start using those "colonies" and put into effect certain policies and laws into place that benefit everyone. Of course, it's always complicated especially if you consider what they did for Zootopia in terms of building cities and all that.

A good example would be Penguins and Polar Bears (in Octonauts and IRL) going out and having hunting traditions. It's something akin to the Inuit people where they are the only ones who can hunt for seals up north, because that's how they survive and that's apart of their culture/traditions. And for some it really is that matter of finding other ways to find the protein if they are unable to hunt (or it makes them uncomfortable, as more of a personal thing) as their ancestors did.

In Conclusion:

I'll wrap this up by saying what I have put in place for this world to really make sense and give more of a scientific/storytelling background to it. ( Of course, this is my ✨Alternate Universe✨ so you are welcome to dismiss it or be INSPIRED by it in some way. )

To begin . . .

There is a big peace organization called the Animal Salvation Association AKA the "A.S.A." - In a sense, it's more like the UN, where they diverge into organized branches so they can individually put in the hundreds of hours of "man" power (if need be) to make sure that everyone can live together without constant war and pollution, and all that. (Don't get me started on the pollution and natural disasters or we'll be here all day)

Where we as the human race differ from this idea, humanity has already claimed that we aren't apart of nature anymore because we believe we're above that, it doesn't "affect" us. But in this world it does. Because all of these creatures are sentient life forms. So you can't just go around willy nilly and do whatever you want because it effects the entire eco system and then you have a whole colony of whales, or birds, or what have you, at your front door step asking why you dumped a truck load of garbage into their home.

If you want to add villains to a story like this you have to consider the biology and all that. Why would there be a need for an antagonist? Why would there be conflict? Is everyone happy living this way?

For me I only put mine in place to show how perfect systems can still have flaws even if they were created for a greater good. It's like any Dystopian story you've ever heard of. Even if the government is there to actually help and protect you, they can't do everything that would just be problematic!

If you want to make a villain for Octonauts, give them a cause. Give them a reason to start something. And if you do it right you've got a very good story on your hands.

Anywho, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk (If you have questions about my theories just tag me or pop by my Octonauts Sub Blog, I try to check it every day because I post weekly content and I wanna make sure I don't miss anything going on in the community. Also stayed tuned because EVENTUALLY I will get to actually drawing all of my villains so hopefully you won't want to miss that, because I already have everyone's bio's written down I just gotta commit to the characters already)

Thank you @cacartoon for this massive question because otherwise I wouldn't be up at 4:35am ranting about a silly hyperfixation 😉💙

To my Octonaut fans out there, genuine question.

We all know there isn’t really a villain in Octonauts. Like, there’s no one with evil motives or ulterior motives.

BUT

IF there was a villain or villains, what or who exactly would you imagine it’d be?

I think it’d be kinda fun to see everyone’s crack fiction of alternative realities.

Kwazton lore headcanon

I've messed with this headcanon a bit in my head for a few years now; I even made a 4 panel comic on the blog 2 years ago.

In typical cat fashion Kwazii really doesn't like being touched on the stomach and he usually will react in anger/fear, its just instinct and he only really lets people he trusts touch him on the stomach.

When him and Shellington first get together he still gets this reaction with Shellington and he can't control it. But overtime he overcomes it out of love and trust.

This is the second time Shellington touches his stomach without Kwazii having that instinct take him over.

So yea!

Also in my au he gets like this after getting pet for a long amount of time because hes stupid.

I feel so bad for my followers because one day you see gay demons then the next it's silly little dudes with hair you wish you had then it's reblogs from this tiny ahh fandom that has a maximum of 50 people and then i'm fighting someone with my character sideblog and then there's a toxic triangle and then there's a bunch of reblogs from 3 different kid's TV shows that I haven't watched a full episode of in 3+ years and then boom get dragons

Weird Dream

ok so i had a weird ass dream last night, first i was swimming around and the octonauts guys were there, than i swam up to a titanic sized ship and climbed it somehow, fell through a window to be met with cork wall and greenscreens and zubin sedghi dressed as an alien. i left the ship into some sort of aquarium waterpark. there was a mega lopunny model flying around and i found myself in an animal jam esque beach. there was a cave there with an icon floating above it with tattercat's youtube profile, then all of a sudden i was on a 3d animated ranch and i was racing people in order to claim a house. i got in the house first and rob cantor was sitting on the couch and zubin was sitting in a wood chair in a dress with flower patterns on it. i sat down on the couch and rob hugged me. then i woke up

Cringetober Day 13: Creepypasta!!!

I don't think there are any Octonauts creepypastas (if there are, hit me up!), and I didn't want to just draw an Octonaut as a creepypasta character so....

I drew something for my Tears of Ice story!

I tried something different with the brush, I think it looks pretty good :)

One Last Chance to Belong

(Trixie's story)

I didn't forget about posting! I was just waiting until I had a few more done. I currently have two other chapters finished, and I'm working on a fourth.

Enjoy!

Antarctica. The coldest region of the whole planet. Even so, it was home to a huge variety of animals, although Trixie couldn't quite remember what anymore. All she knew was frigid, numbing cold.

She floated motionlessly on the drifting chunk of ice that had long since started to chip away and melt. She had given up in her battle against the seabirds that would swoop down to peck at her limp form, tugging at her prized green shawl.

The tiny fennec fox was on death's doorstep anyway, after all.

Maybe she was still clinging onto life, or maybe she just needed something to take her mind off the tense anticipation, waiting for death to finally claim her, but her mind drifted through her mental checklist.

Heat?

She was beyond cold at this point, no chance of…

Water?

All around. Saltwater… every direction.

Food?

Just the thought of raw fish…

…survival?

Not this time…

Trixie tried not to close her eyes… but… so heavy…

Everything in her body protested, fighting for a few more moments.

Trixie's eyes, already glazed over, absently tracked the white shape swimming towards her.

Polar bear… her mind finally mumbled to her… or maybe she'd mumbled it aloud. Well. At least you'll die fast…

A loud SNAP signaled the ice finally giving way.

Frigid water closed over the fox's head, her brain going completely blank. Her entire vision went black.

If those were death's hands curling around her… they were oddly fluffy.

I'll try to update weekly, but no promises bc school has been kicking my ass and I suck at writing (both sitting down to write and just in general)

Part 12 of asking octonauts related questions until season 5 comes out

When did you start watching Octonauts?

Mine: between 2015 and 2017 I think I don’t remember but I remember the show reminded me of another show I used to love and still do Sheriff Callie’s Wild West I also remember having a crush on Captain Barnacles but keeping it a secret this seems stupid but when I was a kid I pretended to hate it because I felt awkward watching it but I secretly loved it whenever my parents would come in my bedroom while I was watching it I would turn my iPad off I did the same with other shows like Numberblocks (I still do the same thing and keep the fact I watch Octonauts a secret from my family)

That kinda turned into a childhood story-

Does anyone have a similar story?

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

Illustration Time: 8hrs 17min

I suppose it’s official now, the Octonauts and their friends are going to be answering questions from now on. I may pop in every now and then but hopefully I can get the ball rolling and get into their heads for once! (That sounds creepy)

Notes:

I put the ID together because I thought it would be funny if he made up a name for his military license because “Pirates don’t have last names”. With Dashi’s help, Kwazii Gilbert will never see the light of day again and Kwazii Navarro is definitely getting a new ID issued.

I had at least three people who asked me this question so I gave in. I spent literally all day on this. I am so tired, but at least I have YT. I’m so glad to have finished this because this was my final day off for work this week and I was NOT gonna have time to do anything else.

I suppose this is also a farewell post to Netflix Octonauts, I gave in and bought the dvd sets because I’m tired of dealing with Netflix. I know I’m weak I’m sorry.

A special thanks to @what-is-my-aesthetic and her new Octonauts video. Because otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to actually finish this post, I would’ve given in a few hours ago. I’ve been following AthenaP for a while now and dang does she know how to make me laugh! Go check her out and give all of her videos love, she puts so much time and effort into making her videos definitely one of my very fav creators!!!

A collection of things I’ve screamed into the void with mild hope that the void would scream back (it did. on several of these)

I am so sorry but every single word uttered here is canon to YLS’s already insane lore. yes even the one about Jack Skellington. yes even the one about Dimentio. yes even the one that ties into MSM/TBoCI. yes ESPECIALLY the one about Captain Barnacles.

What a way to start the month of May!

Sorry if it looks rushed...

octonauts ATLA au 🤲

Barnacles is an EXTREMELY powerful waterbender from the North Pole, with a strong love for icebending—he defaults to it most of the time. He can use all subforms of waterbending, but they're a bit harder.

Kwazii's the Avatar, but he's still a pirate AND he's a natural firebender, so he still has that "scary and dangerous" reputation. He's afraid of using his firebending, because he hates it. Barnacles is teaching him waterbending, and he's pretty good at it. So far he sucks at earthbending, and his airbending is okay, but if he gets worked up it can accidentally come out as fire... which, yeah.

Peso is an airbender, and the first one in his family. He's not very skilled at bending, and he can't fly very well, and sometimes wishes he was a waterbender, like Barnacles. That way he'd be "stronger", and could utilize its healing abilities. He has an epiphany later on in the middle of S3 that makes him realize how powerful he really is, and he learns to fly :)

Tweak is an earthbender, which she inherited from her dad (maybe*). Like Barnacles, she has a love and preference for a specific subtype—in her case it's metalbending. She's very good at it. It's how she builds GUPs so fast.

Shellington is a waterbender. He doesn't use it very much, mainly because he's Not Great at controlling it—so you'll either end up getting lightly spit on or completely drenched in a tsunami by accident.

Dashi is a non-bender (with water tribe ancestry), which puts her at a disadvantage during some missions. However! She has all of her skills from the Canon Universe, plus the extra adaptiveness seen in non-benders in ATLA (Sokka, Suki, etc).

Inkling is also a non-bender, but he has studied the elements and different bending techniques his whole life. He's Kwazii's Monk Gyatso but with less dying.

Octoagents! 👇

Calico Jack is Kwazii's Uncle Iroh. I needn't explain further. His main goal is to teach Kwazii to be less afraid of his firebending.

Natquik is a waterbender, who taught Barnacles everything he knows. He got his penchant for icebending from him. He pretty much invented it. He survived Antarctica by ✨ Becoming One With The Ice™ ✨. He doesn't just study icequakes, he can make them. He can probably spiritbend.

*I'm TORN between making Marsh be an earthbender or a waterbender. If he's an earthbender, then he can't metalbend like Tweak can, but he's still very strong. Like, scarily strong 👀. IF HE'S A WATERBENDER, then he's a swampbender, full stop.

Tracker is an airbender, mainly because of how he's clearly paralleling Peso's arc in AnB. He was the only airbender in his Polar Scouts troop, and he got picked on for it a bit—but Barnacles thought it was cool as heck, and that's how they became friends.

Do I need to explain Paani being a waterbender? No I do not. He's probably VERY powerful, but very chillax about it. He successfully freaks out everyone who witnesses him bend every time. He can part the seas like freaking Moses.

Pearl is a waterbender like Shellington; she's not super strong, but she has a LOT more control over it than he does. Peri will be a waterbender as well, but he hasn't unlocked it yet. He's trying very hard because he wants to be like his mum and uncle SO badly.

Min could easily be a bender of any kind and it would make sense, but I kinda wanna say she's a non-bender. Just cuz ��⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Earthbender Ryla. That's all. It makes it a lot easier to get out of caves when she's stuck. She's very casual about it. So casual, that most people either forget or don't even realize she's a bender until it comes up. Then they're like "oh yeah." as she literally moves mountains.

Airbender Pinto, who has no clue how to control it. Whenever he gets frustrated with himself, he accidentally creates small tornadoes. He can also fly! He likes to brag about it. a lot. mainly to Peso.

Waterbender Koshi, who hasn't discovered that about herself yet. She's in for a fun time when she figures it out. Remember how happy she was when she got her Octowatch? Yeah :) 10x that. I also imagine their family is full of late bloomers, but because of Dashi she has pretty low expectations for herself right now.

[dolphingirl1234]

I love how (most) of this fandom collectively agrees that Tweak is a lesbian, and that Kwazii is trans and has ADHD
