Barnacles x Dashi?

Barney would be an amazing boyfriend and Dashi would be an amazing girlfriend. They are both very kind, caring, and looking out for people! If they were a couple, it'd be very sweet and wholesome.

What's the ship name? Barnshi???

Octonauts - A New Generation

Chapter 10

Ping Pong

Dashi’s pov

Dashi has always loved competitions, being particularly competitive herself. She remembers how she had tried to hide that from her teammates when they had first started working together. After all, one needs to be professional in a work environment. But as the team started growing closer together and started getting more open with each other, Dashi’s competitiveness started to rise to the surface. Especially during their beach day trips, where they would always play beach volleyball together. Beach volleyball is one of Dashi’s favorite sports, along with surfing and cricket. Dashi has always wanted to have a chance to play against the captain, just to see if her clever strategies could outmatch his incredible strength. Unfortunately, they have never had the chance to do so. Not that Dashi has ever asked. That would be too unprofessional, no matter how close they might be. She has already softened quite a bit, she can’t slip up even more. Dashi knows her job and she knows her place, so rather than challenging captain Barnacles or even Kwazii to a match, she decides to record the two of them playing against each other.

“You can do this Kwazii!”, Pinto shouts.

“Show him how it’s done uncle Barnacles!”, Ursa yells.

The room is filled with the competitive spirit of everyone invested into the game. Another one of the many things Dashi loves about sports.

The ball continues bouncing back and forth. If Kwazii does one wrong move, the captain wins. His cat-like quickness should be at his favor for this, but he’s starting to get slower out of exhaustion. The captain on the other hand has been saving all of his strength for this final round. One would think that the odds are in the captains favor, but Dashi knows better than to underestimate Kwazii and his will power. There is no way that he’ll let himself be beaten, especially not in front of a large crowd. Sure enough, Kwazii keeps on pushing past his limits in an effort to keep the ball in the game. With Kwazii’s quick and slick passes always rolling over the net, and captain Barnacles powerful passes always landing on the corner of the ping pong table, the next moves are starting to get predictable. Dashi waits in anticipation for one of the guys to make the first unexpected move, and at last, captain Barnacles smashes the ball in the middle of Kwazii’s side of the table, making it bounce sky high unlike all of the previous low passes. To everyone’s surprise, Kwazii manages to jump just in time to throw the ball back, catching captain Barnacles off guard and scoring a point.

“YOW!”, Kwazii yells with renewed energy, “That was amazing captain!”

“Thanks Kwazii. I was not expecting you to get that”, captain Barnacles answers, still in shook.

“Neither was I”, Kwazii says while his tail starts wagging.

“Shall we finally end this?”, the captain asks, seemingly catching Kwazii’s contagious burst of energy.

“Aye aye captain!”, the lieutenant yells back.

And so, the final round continues. As always, Kwazii ends up winning, although the captain has improved a lot.

Kwazii leaps into the air with excitement, joined by Pinto and Koshi. Captain Barnacles receives motivation from his niece and nephew, taking the opportunity to whisper something into their ears. As the applause and the excitement dies down, the room slowly starts emptying.

“That was an intense match”, Dashi calmly states while approaching the captain.

“Indeed it was”, Shellington agrees.

“Don’t the kids have a marine biology lesson coming up soon?”, Dashi reminds the sea otter.

“Oh, right! I better get going then. Thanks for reminding me Dashi!”, Shellington exclaims before rushing off.

“Your welcome!”, Dashi calls after him.

Barnacles gently chuckles. “Come on you three, you should go get ready for your lesson”, he says.

“Alright. See you later uncle!”, Orson calls out as he drags his sister out of the room.

“Hey Peso, can you show me the medic bay again before class starts?”, Pinto asks.

“Hmmm…I suppose that there’s still a little bit of time left. Alright then, follow me”, Peso replies. And with that, the two brothers leave the room, leaving only Kwazii, Barnacles and Dashi.

“Perhaps you could practice your ping pong skills while playing with Dashi”, Tweak suddenly suggests.

“Tweak!? How long have you been here?”, Dashi exclaims flabbergasted.

“Not too long”, Tweak answers, before taking a bite out of a carrot that she had pulled out of nowhere.

“Maybe you’re right Tweak”, Barnacles answers, “I could certainly use some more practice.”

“We best be leaving you to it then”, Kwazii says while trying to walk out as casually as he can.

“See ya later bestie”, Tweak teasingly says, knowing full well what she has done.

With the cat and the rabbit gone, only the polar bear and the dog remain.

“Shall we get started?”, Barnacles asks.

“Uh, s-sure”, Dashi replies, knowing full well that it has been years since she last played ping pong.

Barnacles starts with a gentle serve and continues to make gentle passes. At first Dashi was relieved. It gave her the perfect opportunity to remember the basics and come up with some tricks of her own, but after a while, Dashi started getting annoyed.

“Captain, I���m supposed to be helping you get better, so don’t hold back”, she calmly says.

“I suppose that you’re right”, he answers.

Now the real challenge starts. Dashi’s strategies against Barnacles’ strength. It will only take a matter of time until Dashi finds a counterattack good enough to give the captain a real challenge.

Sure enough, after a few minutes of holding back and losing to the captain, Dashi finds the perfect counterattack, catching Barnacles by surprise. In only three minutes, Dashi decimates the captain and wins.

“Wow… That was, uhh…”, Barnacles stutters.

“Incredible? Unexpected? Both at the same time?”, Dashi teases.

“Yeah”, Barnacles calmly replies, “Did you really have to go that hard on me though?”

“Of course, how else will you improve? Besides, I wanted to teach you a lesson for thinking that you had to hold back on me”, Dashi proudly declares.

“Alright, lesson learned”, Barnacles laughs.

“Good. Shall we play again?”, Dashi asks, her competitive spirit rising once again.

“Sure, I guess that I still have some time”, Barnacles teases, his competitive spirit rising as well.

They play another round and Dashi barely manages to win this time. Despite this, Barnacles leans on the wall in defeat, deep in thought.

“What am I doing wrong?”, he asks.

“You rely on your strength and your one sly move. It gets easier to predict what you’ll do next after observing you play for a while. Here, let me show you”, Dashi pulls out her camera and walks over to Barnacles. She lets the recording play as the two of them carefully watch Barnacles’ moves. After the video ends, Dashi looks into Barnacles’ eyes to try and figure out if he understands what he did wrong.

“You’re right”, he says, “You, for example, have an incredible amount of different moves. It’s impossible to know which one you’ll use next.”

“Exactly. On top of that, you need to have a good strategy and good counterattacks. You need to analyze your opponent’s moves and change your strategies and counterattacks to turn the situation in your favor. Take your strong attacks as an example. Once you get used to the strong force you have to face when hitting the ball back, you can easily find an effective and efficient way to hit back in a way that uses your own force against you”, Dashi tries to explain.

“I think I understand. Can I watch the video again?”, Barnacles asks.

“Sure”, Dashi answers, giving him her camera.

As Barnacles watches the video again, Dashi practices a new way of playing ping pong.

“Uh, Dashi…”, Barnacles nervously says.

“Yes captain?”, she answers.

“Would it be okay if you could…”, he trails off.

“Play the way Kwazzi would play?”, she asks with a knowing smile.

Barnacles eyes grow wide: “H-How did you know?”

“I don’t just observe how people play sports. I observe their behavior as well”, Dashi says while making a ‘swoosh’ sound with the racket as she quickly moves it about, the way Kwazzi does.

“Interesting”, Barnacles says while slowly approaching the table.

“You can learn a lot about a person by simply observing their behavior and body language”, Dashi explains, not noticing the look of admiration that Barnacles is giving her.

“Interesting. Where did you learn that skill?”, he asks curiously.

“Well, Koshi and I have always been a fan of mystery books, to the point where we would often play detective. Eventually, those skills pour into your everyday life”, Dashi explains.

“Interesting, do you think that you could train me to acquire those skills?”, Barnacles ponders.

“I could try. For now, we should get back to training you to defeat Kwazzi”, Dashi says determined.

The two of them continue training until they get interrupted by Koshi.

“Ahem”, Koshi calmly walks towards the middle of the room and looks at both of the grownups, “Dinner is ready.”

“Thank you for letting us know Koshi”, Barnacles responds, “Let’s get going.”

“You go ahead, I’d like to speak with my sister first”, Koshi insists.

Dashi already knows what’s coming next and sends a pleading look towards the captain. The latter raises his shoulders, not knowing what he can do to help his teammate. Dashi groans as Barnacles leaves the room.

“Alright, hurry up and make your point”, Dashi says in utter defeat, not having the energy to put up with this any longer than she has to.

“It doesn’t take a detective to notice how happy he makes you”, Koshi teases.

“Yeah, it takes a sister to notice that”, Dashi rolls her eyes.

“Perhaps you’re right. As much as I’d love to tease you, now is not the time. I just want to warn you. We both know what happened last time”, Koshi looks her sister deep into her eyes.

“Yes, yes, I know, however, we both know how nice the captain is. He’s so kind and caring and would never wish harm upon anyone”, Dashi begins to trail off, before pulling herself together again, “Besides, dating within a team, a work team nonetheless, is unprofessional and could possibly lead to some…uncomfortable situations. So you have absolutely nothing to worry about.”

Dashi tries her best to be convincing, but Koshi has learned how to read her like a book.

“I’m being serious! I don’t plan on dating anyone in this team!”, Dashi tries to defend herself.

“Sure. If you say so sis. Let’s just get going”, Koshi replies, unconvinced, already coming up with a plan of how to keep all of the guys far away from her sister.

Silly Octonauts Doodles! Part 2. (Featuring ships and an OC!!) ====================

Dashi x Tweak!! 🩷💚 the most best lesbians ever!! <33

Barnacles x (OC) Arthur!! ❤️💙

They are so gay and I love them with all my heart! Barns gets so concerned when Arthur (a grizzly bear) hibernates X3

Arthur belongs to : @mildy-vibing

Bianca x Pearl!!💙💛🩷

Fun fact! In Inuit culture, they are very open to sharing, however, it is considered rude to ask too many questions -- they believe you are not listening to what they're saying if you need clarification, and because Bianca is more in tune to their culture than her brother is, she lives by it more obviously ;3

Also... me too, Pearl, meeee too 🫣

Barnacles and Peso! 💙🩵 Sound the Octo-Alert!!

Peso x Kwazii!! 🧡🩵 he pulls this stunt all the time, you cannot deny it

My bestie's @animalsalvationassociation OCs!!! Just a fun drawing of her characters!!

In WK x octonauts what would the octonauts think about creature powers disks

Hi, Anon! Good question!

So, in a scenerio which they’d see the discs and power suits in action (likely in the Wild Kratts universe where they’re all humans lol), I feel like their reactions would be unique to the character.

For example, Tweak, an engineer, would see it from the scientific standpoint. She, especially, would ask more in-depth questions about it (and let’s be honest, she would talk Aviva’s ears off). Not only are the creature power suits a scientific breakthrough… they are engineered. She’s wondering if it’s a science she can recreate/work with (not that they necessarily need it, but the aspect of matter shift is fascinating). I’m sure there’s a more scientific term for the mass displacement and whatnot, but I just got over being sick with the flu and I can’t think.

Dashi, of course, would find the idea fascinating- and would probably learn all she can about the power suits, discs, and their effects on the user and write about it in her blogs. And as you can imagine, there’s plenty of pictures/proof. Example: enhanced strength, elongated canines, and several other aspects of physical alterations.*

*(I think I referenced this before, but the characters in Wild Kratts, specifically Chris and Martin, have funny little character quirks. Martin had balanced well over 1,000lbs (453.6 kilos) on his shoulders in the episode, “The Blue and Grey”; Chris has that whole… Tasmanian Devil malfunction. Martin also disguised himself as a rock for a bit.)

Onto Shellington. Shellington, as a marine biologist, and seems to have an interest in biology to begin. So, when these people have the ability to possess the powers of other biological entities, it becomes fascinating. Because they are not limited to their own humanly bodies, and instead are altered to be able to adapt to the environment the animals they ‘transform’ into are from. He definitely has them transform into certain sea creatures to see if it affects their own instinctual patterns (which in some cases, it has been shown that can be the case). [This also applies to Pearl]

Peso is more freaked out than he is interested, insisting that it can’t be that healthy for them to be doing that to their bodies- in his mind, it has to cause wear and strain- especially considering the human body shouldn’t be able to shift and contort to fill the suits in the way they do at times (again with the mass displacement and redistribution). The poor medic is in a frenzy each time they activate the suits around him.

Kwazzi is enthralled. He would likely hop around all excitedly and insist that he tries at least once- in his home universe, he’s a cat! Why would this hurt him? And would likely go to Martin and ask (better if he uses the puppy eyes against him) to use the power suits. And at some point, he would convince them. Ends up borrowing Koki’s vest without permission and running off.

Professor Inkling is between Tweak’s enthusiasm and Peso’s concern. Yes, the idea is fascinating, the issue is the practice. By all means, this is something that logistically should be impossible. He has read this plenty of passages that involved theories, and legends of humans with animalistic features- but never… a suit that makes a human have the abilities and a mechanical appearance of a creature. He worries about their capacity, if their bodies can truly withstand these strains- but ultimately, his curiosity wins him over.

Captain Barnacles is… disturbed. He sees no necessity in this group of conservationists to be going through the trouble of… becoming a creature. There are easier ways to protect them- especially with the technology the world has with humanity (their own tech is a bit advance but also a bit outdated compared to the Kratts. Funnily enough, I think the Octonauts have more humanly limitations than the Wild Kratts do). It takes a long time for him to start expressing any form of interest in the discs and power suits… but he never warms up to the idea of them.

The Vegimals do not care, they’re teaching Jimmy how to make fish biscuits.

-

+BONUS of the Octo-Agents

Min would be utterly fascinated, in my opinion. She is very open minded about the idea, and expresses her interest through questions- and her own playful theories. Besides, it is basically a form of quantum tech, which is a theoretical science.

Professor Natquik quickly looks over it. He is more fascinated to test the Kratt team and their physical abilities outside of their suits. Their reflexes and intelligence specifically. While yes, it is fascinating, it’s the people behind the suit he cares about.

Panni is in the same boat as Kwazzi. He wants to know and try everything about the power suits, and isn’t quite reserved at all. If this guy can ride a mudslide down the side of a mountain, he will definitely wear and activate a power suit without caring about the risks. He likes the tech idea, but he doesn’t ask questions, he’s more focused on competing a bit with his friends.

Tracker would be a bit… nervous about the idea. It’s weird in his mind- why would a person want to do that? And he can only assume it hurts, right? Which isn’t good. He’d talk to Barnacles about his concerns- knowing that the older man would understand.

Is Ranger Marsh an agent? Does he count? I think, so I’m adding him. He was still using his radio for communication when he was first introduced, he sure isn’t going to approve of the Wild Kratts morphing their bodies with tech to match a creature. He does not understand how it works in the slightest, so he avoids it like the plague.

Calico Jack, as you can imagine, is between his grandson’s excitement and Marsh’s confusion. He is a ball of static electricity, waving back and forth on his feet when he sees it in action. It’s cool! But also super weird- but cool! And he’s everywhere, leaning on Marsh to tell him fictive tales about how he experienced ‘camouflaging beasties’ on the high sea that altered their appearance to look more like humans (he hadn’t seen a human before coming to the Kratts’ world).

Ryla doesn’t have a set opinion. As long as it’s not hurting anyone, she approves and finds it fascinating. No one has told her the suits can malfunction (do not let her find it out).

(I am aware I’m missing like two of the Agents, but… I haven’t seen enough of them to label anything. Oh. And I didn’t include the younger ones like Pinto and Koshi, just for the sake I feel like they wouldn’t ever step into the Kratts’ universe.)

[hammysamhah]

Edit: just to be clear NO im not including the children in romantic headcanons, only family-like (platonic) headcanons

[mooshie-blue]

HOLY GUACAMOLE YOU USE TO BE A BARNDASH SHIPPER??

(I was scrolling through TikTok and this lowkey jumpscared me)

I still kinda am but considering how most Octonauts Stan’s feel about shipping Barnacles with his crew I just keep it to myself lol

[sh1n0buloverrr]

@elmushterri

NAME: RIVA/REBECCA MARSH

NICKNAMES: BECCA, RIVA

AGE: 40s (same age as Kwazii)

SEXUALITY: BISEXUAL, PANSEXUAL

FAMILY: RANGER MARSH, TABITHA/TWEAK MARSH

FUN FACTS:

-She is Autistic!! She’s basically the Entrapta of the team, being into technology which gifted her into being a mechanic and robotics expert like Tweak. (I’m so sorry Entrapta’s my favorite character), she also struggles to fit in with others and understanding social cues, makes excited noises when talking about technology, and sometimes masks her autistic traits with her goggles.

-She likes tiny food (cupcakes, cookies, etc)

-She can sew stuff. One time, when she was younger (also during the time when she was married), she sewed a eyepatch for Kwazii because they idolize their pirate grandpa, even though it was a simple black one, they cherished it<33

-She is the wife of Konstatine Jack (Kwazii). They both met when they were in their early twenties (I can’t make a story up on how they met still but let me know if you have an idea!!) Plus they lost count on how long since they got married but they know it’s a long time.

-She lost her during a shark attack on a mission when she saved her older sister (Tweak) from getting attacked by a shark. Tweak feels she’s the reason why her younger sister (Riva) lost her left arm.

EXTRA:

Notes: I headcanon that Tweak has her last name like her dad and Kwazii has his last name like his grandfather

[malobo-wolf]

I saw this meme going around Twitter and Tumblr, and I want in XD.

Just a quick comic meme, Also I've been working on the eyes of my characters (The one in Barnacles), what do you all think?

[wholesomepotato]

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 ^^
