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 ^^

If it isn't much to ask could we see some Shellington x Barnacles? 😅😶

Ask and you shall receive

tbh im not to big on Barnacles ships, but i was bored and wanted to draw, so here ya go! :D

besides, i feel like this could easily be read as either platonic or romantic.

And heres the part of the post where Bailey shares his arbitrary headcannons (also new boarder :D)

So in relation to the picture, In my art a lot of the crew's causal outfits are sweaters. Peso has one, Shellington has one, and now The Captain has one! Thats bc all the Octonauts have their own cute little sweaters! One of Shellington's other interests- besides Marine Biology and Drawing/ writing, is crochet! And the sweater the crew members wear were made by him! :]

Also, notice the drawing in Shellington's journal? It's the cone-snail! He has a dedicated page and drawing for every animal they encounter, listing notes about it's appearance, behavior, defense, eating habits, everything! He loves sharing these with the crew, but he especially values Barnacles and Inkling's opinions. and they both love seeing his drawings as well. :D

But yeah, thats all here. :>

As I said, this can be read either way. Personally I'm on the platonic side., but you guys do you. :]

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)

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

[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

*screams*

more bjarki lore!!!!

[octoagentmiles]

tbh I love how literally the only thing Operation Deep Freeze tells us about Natquik is that he was Barnacles' teacher, and yet, everyone in the entire fandom, upon seeing him for the first time, all collectively went "oh he's his Dad? his Father? cool good to know 👍" to the point where even the official Octonauts™ accounts are in on it now

For the past six months or so I keep thinking about Mermaid Man saying donuts, like, all the time

[arsonmurderandjaywalking]

forgot how much I love Eun-Yu and Eun-Hyeok's weird familial dynamic with Sang-Wook. two snarky ass teenage orphans that totally don't have daddy issues who've practically raised themselves vs ornery man that looks a bit like their father and that they've imprinted on like ducklings

[octorosi]

Kwazii-Mum- you can’t just steal barnacles- that’s not how that works-

Cleo (kwaziis mom) hugging barnacles- WATCH ME-

Kwazii-Mum- Natquick will NOT- be happy- and that man is scary-

Cleo-well to bad, he can fight me if he wants too>:<

Kwazii-MA-

Barnacles, who does not have the slightest idea what’s going on- :)

Cleo- :)

Kwazii- ok now I see where I get my stubbornness from- my whole life makes sense now-
