CALLING ALL OCTONAUTS FAN WHO ANIMATE AND DO ART

Since i joined the Octonauts fandom I have been making AUs left and right but the one I love with all my heart cannot be written in a google doc, or published on AO3/Wattpad. No, this AU deserves more.

My CIRCUS AU

is one i normally associate with a specific musical film about a circus (bet you can guess which one it is.) I decided to construct the story similar to the film The Greatest Showman, but also different enough where it isn't a direct copy.

In other words, I what I am hoping in launching this project is to make animations of the Octonauts according to the songs (if we can do all of them that would be great but if not, that's also ok!)

BUT, this comes with a couple requests: The story does have ships that I like. which are:

Barnacles x Dashi

Shellington x Kwazii

I am thinking for more ships to add.

THOUGH I want people to know that you can still work on this without having to do any of the parts that require shipping. Since to fill some gaps I plan on making a comic too, they will not be long they are just to fill the holes between songs.

ALSO, I would love others inputs as well! I'm open to suggestion to the story so don't think that when you join the project you have to do everything I tell you to, you can 100% request changes.

LASTLY, There will be sensitive topics talked about and planned on being added to the animations but you will be informed on which parts so you are able to obt out before production.

Thank you for reading this and I hope you would like to join. :]

Please help spread this around! :D

DM me for the Discord link ^^

Tea Time Crush : Professor Natquik x Professor Inkling

(I'm literally the only person who knows this ship lol)

I know this is kinda a rare-pair, and as far as I've seen, they've never even met in the show 💀

But still, I think they're cute together. I see them both as Barnacles's father figures/weird uncle figures, and because of that, I think they'd get along well! I see them as friends who have tea together and talk about Barnacles in the various stages of his life!

Fun fact!

I've redone Natquik's design a hundred times and currently can't make up my mind between skin color and hair texture, so this is what I've got for right now.

What DOES stay is that I gave him ocular albinism -- a type of albinism that only affects the eyes. You'd have to zoom in to see it, but he's got some pretty detailed and pretty eyes :)! From this condition (and full body albinism), his eyes are extremely sensitive to light because there's no pigment and the light goes straight into the light-receptors in the back of the eyes, and they constantly shake/jitter because of this. I chose this because I thought it'd be a creative way to show off some of his Arctic fox biology -- Arctic foxes have bad eyesight, but exceptionally hearing.

Also, another detail I love is that his animal facial features are very prominent because in the lore of my little shifter universe ( w/ some help from @mildy-vibing ) if a shifter is alone for so long they can revert to a more feral-like state, acting more animalistic and shifting back to human form less and less frequently, and eventually just completely lose their humanity. Natquik was alone for YEARS, many, many years (probably around 40 in my au), so to me, he just acts and looks more like a skittish, hyper, cold-loving fox!

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

I'm very normal about the Professors.

This is for the ‘Ask the Octonauts’ thing (if you’re still doing it, if not feel free to ignore me)

This is for Wholesome AU

Who do each of the W!Octonauts mainly go to for comfort? Like if they had a nightmare, or there was a particularly scaring mission.

Also! I love your art style! It’s so cute

Barnacles is top tier dad

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.

good books for xmas

(second hand copies of the southern reach trilogy 2014 hardback uk editions. super pretty i love them, i love the orange inner cover of acceptance sooooo much. the other books are on scottish birds, writing landscapes (from granny), and split tooth by tanya tagaq, which ive been wanting to read for a long time)

[pinkyshy10]

Seriously does no one else ship Captain Barnacles with Shellington, they are just so perfect they're the dads of the group gay dads what is no one else ship gay dads

[ edit] Apparently people do ship them the reason why it didn't seem like anyone did is because there's almost no ship content of the two of them and that makes me really sad
