hear me out: OctoKids special episode

starring: Koshi, Pinto, Periwinkle, Orson and Ursa

I need the kids to have a spotlight for an episode. I need them to band together on an adventure and be pushed out of their comfort zone and essentially act as a mini version of the crew

It would be set primarily in somewhere like the Himalaya Mountains - huge environment, massive species diversity, lots of potential for a special episode

"Hey, Koshi, do you reckon you could fly the OctoRay?"

"Uh, no?"

"But your sister can! And it can't be that hard, right?! :D"

"Pinto, I'm not - "

"Didn't Donna Doxi fly a plane once?"

"..."

They indeed tried to fly the OctoRay.

This did not go well.

SO. Now the kids are stuck in the Himalaya Mountains with no OctoRay and damaged OctoWatches. I'm picturing Koshi & Pinto taking the lead, as the two Junior OctoAgents of the group - they lowkey give off Barnacles & Kwazii vibes (caring confident leader & daredevil lieutenant) and I'm here for it.

Between them, I'd reckon they'd have quite a good knowledge of survival skills: Koshi & Pinto have OctoAgent training, Periwinkle goes to Otter Scouts, and Orson and Ursa are Polar Bear Scouts. They can survive in the wild until they're rescued, right?

(Meanwhile, back on the Octopod)

("Captain, it appears the OctoRay has gone rogue")

("Hey, Captain, have you seen Pinto?")

("Actually, that's a good point, Peso, I haven't seen Periwinkle for a while")

("Let me ask Koshi, I'm sure she'll know, they were playing hide and seek together the last time I checked")

("Anything?")

("Would you like the good news or the bad news, Captain?")

("Uh...")

("The good news is that all the kids are together. Koshi, Pinto, Peri, Orson and Ursa.")

("...what's the bad news?")

("They took the OctoRay and it crash-landed somewhere in the Himalayas.")

("the F [censored because it's a kids' show]?!")

Back to the Himalayas!

I think this episode would be focused on the kids employing their shared skillset to survive out in the wild.

Do they encounter tigers? Absolutely.

Do the tigers think they're food? Also absolutely.

What I would especially love to see in an episode like this, in terms of character arcs:

Koshi becoming the de-facto leader. She's been shown in A&B to almost mimic some of Barnacles' mannerisms, her sister is the captain of the OctoRay, she spends a LOT of time around people in leader roles and it's bound to rub off on her. Whilst I'd love for some Donna Doxi references, I'd almost want her to not slip into her mystery-solving mode? This time, SHE'S the mystery, SHE'S the one who's lost, and she has her friends to look after and I think she'd do a great job.

(But because it would be a special-length episode, there's almost certainly a side plot for the gang to help a nearby creature with something - a missing friend, perhaps?)

Also, Pinto gets some great character development in A&B, and it would be reflected in this special. Peri, Orson & Ursa are younger than him and Koshi, and whilst their own skillsets are invaluable, I think they're more likely to be thrown off by this new situation? Pinto would be an AMAZING older brother figure to them, keeping them distracted with fun activities and games whilst keeping an eye on them.

Also. Koshi telling them all stories around a campfire. That's it, that's the whole scene.

I'm gonna be honest this sounded way better in my head, but I had to share what I had with the world, so ya, let me know what you think :D

If you're still taking requests, could we see you draw some of your favourite sea creatures?

How could I refuse?

I reposted it again, I noticed a mistake in the photo and fixed it 😞

Real meme:

[mebis-silksong-corner]

Did you know that barnacles are actually crustaceans?

the most widely known ones are filter feeders the ones on silksong are huuuge, they could probably grab a number of bugs off the air like whales gulping on a bunch of krill

Everyone wanted a hug from Captain “Dad” Barnacles so here we are!!

Happy Father’s Day to HIM

[unbfacts]

The U.S. Navy estimates that heavy barnacle growth on ships can increase drag by up to 60%, leading to a 40% rise in fuel consumption.

~~~Shower chart with the Octonauts~~~

I love reading these charts and thinking about who'd go where

[patheticmosasaur1]

today's invertebrate..............conchoderma virgatum

as you can tell by her appearance, conchoderma virgatum is a very important figure in the slime eating community. she can eat up to 2 kinds of slime at the same time, a feat achieved by no one else on the planet!

her yearly reviews on slime flavours (which she writes every 3 days) have also been invaluable to all the slimers out there, especially the more experienced ones!! without her the entire slime eating community would collapse!

glorpiness rating: are you so hungry that you could eat a horse?

I've never actually seen anyone do the punk part of seapunk so here's my vest.

Barnacles, sea shells, and (fossil) shark teeth instead of spikes.

(I am obsessed with putting barnacles on everything now)
