[kupofdoodles]

little thingy regarding peso (mite b controvershul? idk?)

i lieks teh hc he is latino! is neat!!! but it doesnt mean EVERYONE has 2 think of the same way!! ya sure he has hispanic accent in us dub and chile and argentina own a part of antartica (WHICH MAKES TEH HC DOUBLE NEAT) but liek.... not every1 has the same hc

some ppl grew up with different dubs and r used to whatever they think their peso grew up in and it bums me out seeing ppl b liek "UM HE HAS 2 B HISPANIC!!!! IS PRACTICALLY CANNON" no he is a penguin :( plz b nice

...on dat topic i feel liek dis is common sense but i see ppl who r liek "HE HAS 2 B TAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! BC HE IS LATINO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" -._-. wat no they dont all have same skin color he can be have lighter skin too

ofc this is no hate to ppl who think peso with these hcs!!! hcs are the best and absolute fun, and my point is i want ppl to b nice to each other

tldr: i dont think peso *has* to be hispanic in every hc of him, and i dont liek when ppl enforce that he has to be tan bc he's latino (there r lots of skin variations!)

im not latino and im rly sorry if i said anything wrong here :( i dont wanna offend any1

Octo-tober Day 3: Monster

I've wanted to post some Octonauts fanfics for a while now, and Octo-tober seems like a good way to test the waters! I don't plan on posting all of my writing for this event, which is why I'm just now starting at day three :p It's because I finally wrote something (I think) good enough to post. Anyways. This is set right before the Monster Map episode.

(@4eyedloser just in case the tags get weird)

Peso has about a million cousins and uncles and aunts and grandparents. You can see a photo of some of them, in a panorama hung on the wall by his bed. Dashi has her sister. Shellington, a sister of his own, and a nephew. Tweak, her dad, Barnacles, his twin sister, nephew, and niece. Inkling has a nephew as well.

Kwazii, he has his grandad. That he hasn’t seen in years. 

Calico Jack’s quite the character, has been since Kwazii was just a kitten. He’d never go a night without elaborate tales filling the stale air of the ship’s galley. Midnights on a sea of knives.

Adventures, great escapes, and more often than not, monsters. A ship-crushing shallowtooth, a hairy-webbed clockerflock, his daring escapades are what Kwazii sees in his dreams. In his dreams, he’s there with him.

In his dreams, he’s there with him.

Kwazii doesn’t think about where his grandad is. Doesn’t think of what waters he’s in, or… if he’s been swallowed by them. He doesn’t think of his ship, or Pete, or what monster he’s maybe facing now, or of his voice… what Calico Jack, his fearsome, brave, bold pirate grandad, would think of him now. If he was here–if he’s alive–what would he say? What would he not? Hardwood, rope swinging, and fiery gold. Orange sharks, oxygen tanks, and fish biscuits.

When Kwazii woke up that morning, his whiskers pointed him to a map. The pieces clicked. They were in just the right location…

He pounced to open the secret compartment on the top of his coat rack. He yanked the map out, thin and brittle like a roll of cinnamon, one of the last shards of Calico Jack. He’ll find that lost city. Come hell or high water or a colossal yeti-faced terrorknit. No monsters–or memories–would get in the way of this pirate.

[lifenconcepts]

In my opinion..

peso is a LOSER !!!

Thank you for reading 🐾

[calamaroo]

Wassup California love!

Do you have any Dashi HC's from any of your AU's or just for Dashi in general.

Also lowkey would love to hear some more pirate AU stuff cause I love it!

THE LIST IS GROWING!!! CALIFORNIA LOVE!!!

(I love beyond words all the absolute absurd nick names/various ways to say my name, I cherish each and every one 🥹)

Dashi Masina Dachshund

Some general headcanons:

She/her, 34 years old, Bisexual (I dont know a lot about different sexualities, but that seems fitting).

Loves fashion (along with Kwazii) and their styles are the most out there compared to everyone else's. They modify their uniforms the most out of the crew, and Dashi has a particularly love for a pink, tropic, and techy aesthetics.

This is how I imagine her general aesthetic and/or vibe looks (Absolutely drop dead gorgeous) :

AfroAmer + Samoan ( original idea from @animalsalvationassociation ) grew up in Australia with her mother, who was a wildlife photographer. They traveled often but always returned home eventually. --- mother is Samoan, and father was AfroAmer

Her middle name : "Masina," mean "moon" in Samoan. I think it's fitting because the moon affects the tides, and having the moon in your good graces would grant you safe passage on the sea.

Was a pilot before the Octonauts, where she continued to travel and took photos of all her destinations. Even now, she sends almost all of the pictures she takes back to her mother.

( @hers-underwraps ) said she would be into meteorology, and that sounds very fitting.

Pirate!Dashi

AU Lore/Headcanons :

Is the Black Ice's Navigatior (like a Skipper). She pilots the ship and is the best at it. She could dock even the biggest warship on a dabloon if she wanted.

Met the Gentleman Blue (+ crew, which was only Tweak and Kwazii at the time) after she tried to steal his ship. Barnacles was impressed by her skills and bravery and asked if she'd like to join them. She agreed.

She is closest with Shellington (the new guy) and occasionally helps him with his alchemy.

Primary weapons would be something focusing on distance. Poison darts, throwing knives, and the occasional flintlock shot. Knives and darts are quicker than guns to reload, so she sticks to that. She doesn't fight often though, as on the rare occasion an enemy managed to get on to the Black Ice, they are quickly removed or killed before they can reach the helm.

Master of seduction and trickery. She knows she's drop-dead gorgeous and will use that to her advantage. (Because she's hot like that, and a pirate. She's gotta be a least a little evil and sexy.)

Nicknamed : "The Black Ice Siren"

Extremely competitive at card games/fun stuff they do on board in their free time. She wins most of the time, and it infuriates Kwazii (who is twice as competitive)

This is what I envision for her pirate design (which I have yet to draw, but have a vision/general idea of) :

That's all I can think of rn, i hope you like it <3

Tried to make it look pretty to impress you 👉👈

[amethystfairy1]

I’m going to stop saying I have another question, because I just keep thinking of more (my brain has not had this much enrichment since Octonauts as a kid, my first special interest). This one might be a little spoiler-y, so feel free to tell me that you can’t answer.

If Etho and Doc bet on Jimmy and Grian bringing home their boyfriends, and Scar is largely wheelchair bound… what are the logistics of that? I can’t imagine Doc making a bet that he knew he would lose. But the under-city REALLY doesn’t seem all that accessible, even if you have legs that work correctly (wings are really the easiest way).

Did Doc not know? Is there another logistic that I’m not thinking of here? Would Scar wear his Hot Guy stuff under his clothes to be able to walk around? But then that means that Hot Guy identity would be a little easier to see through… especially because the other overcity people know about him being in a wheelchair. And different people interact with him both as Hot Guy and as Scar (secondary question, does Pearl and maybe Scott immediately recognize the voice?).

I’ve been trying to puzzle this one out for a bit now. Mainly the fact that Doc wouldn’t make a losing bet on purpose.

Oooooo, good one! I'm so glad you picked up on this!

It is a little spoilery, so I don't wanna give to much of an answer, not because I don't have one, because I DO but yeah, the topic of accessiblity in terms of Scar's eventual trip to the under-city is planned to be the focus of a piece later down the road!

What I will say is that you're very much correct. Doc is well-aware of Scar's mobility issues, and he most certainly would never take a bet he couldn't win.

Also side note: Pearl knows Scar is Hot Guy! It's never really explicitly told to her or Jimmy, but they puzzle it together after Grian kinda dances around the topic of how Scar figured out he was a hybrid, and it's pretty much just like an open secret at this point with the three of them and Scar. Scar is fine with it, he can see considering how the three of them are hybrids in the over-city that they know how to keep a secret! 😆 Scott doesn't know Scar yet, he's never met him in his civilian identity, but if he were to meet him, maybe he would recognize him by his voice? Only time will tell.

[octoagentmiles]

Hello! I was wondering what you'd think the octo-agents would do if you got sick. Blorbo thoughts go burr

Natquik my beloved. He has at least 20+ years of Polar Scout first aid knowledge, and roughly 30 years of "pure adrenaline/spite-fueled survival in Antarctica" instincts; so you're either gonna get a nasal strip and a raw ginger root to chew on... or a surprise shove into an ice bath, followed by a cup of hot cocoa. You don't get to pick which one.

Pirates have their own unique "medical practices," if you can dare to call them that. So... Calico Jack WILL cure you of whatever's ailing ye, but you're in for one HELL of a ride. Have fun! :D

Tracker has over 20 years of Polar Scout first aid knowledge, so he's basically Natquik but without the 50/50 chance of being forcibly thrown into Arctic waters when you least expect it. He will make it his temporary life purpose to make you feel better. He will not sleep, eat, drink, or work until you are Fixed™. He will make himself sick in the process, this is inevitable.

Ranger Marsh has father instincts + who knows how many years of experience taking care of the Everglades critters when they're hurt or sick, so he's basically a certified medic. He might LITERALLY be certified. Either way, he's also kinda like Natquik in the sense that he definitely has a normal first aid kit/medicine cabinet,, but he's going to force you to take weird swamp cures anyway.

Pearl has mother instincts but they're still relatively new, so she might treat you like a baby with a fever: tell you to take a lukewarm bath, make sure you get snuggled up in a cozy bed to rest, and watch you like a hawk while you guzzle down 7346389 liters of fluids.

Paani will straight up sit there and stare at you. You can't tell me this guy takes care of himself properly when he feels sick, so he has no clue how to help you. Realistically he'd pass you on to someone else, but let's say he doesn't do that—instead I can see him trying to tell you that you can "speed up" getting better by going out and getting dirty, running around, eating spicy food, etc., and at the end of the day you'll either end up actually feeling a lot better, or 1000x worse–

Ryla is actually the same. She's gonna drag you out into some random cave whether you want to go or not, and tell you to eat those weird-smelling berries she found because they're "good for your immune system." Unlike with Paani though I feel like somehow this would 100% work. It's basic cave diving stuff, page 574 of her book, don't question it.

Min is the only normal person. She'll make you some tea, insist you take a nap, and tell the Octonauts to make sure that you really do (instead of saying you will, but then "forgetting"). She doesn't want to get herself sick, so you can expect most of her check-ins to be through video calls. She won't seem very worried about you, but that's only because she knows you're tough enough to get through this.

[asexual-spongebob]

what I think the octonauts listen to

I feel like Shellington would listen to a lot of weezer, red hot chill peppers and like folkpunk and stuff like that, he just gives me those vibes/pos. but sometimes he listens to emo music when he feels like a angsy teenager again. (I’m sorry but I feel like shellington + dashi were scemo kids at one point)

I feel like Dashi would listen to nightcore. and twee pop (esp heavenly) + surf rock. I also think she likes MARINA and tv girl (I have never listened to tv girl, so take that w/ a grain of salt.) she also likes emo music as well. It makes her feel nostalgic. She introduced it to Shellington.

I feel like Tweak listens to acdc and stuff like that or maybe Green Day (im definitely projecting on her with this one) I also feel like she’d be a joan jett enjoyer. Oh and sublime. I’m picturing her dancing and singing along to “smoke two joints”

Peso I feel like listens to Spanish and edm music. And Beyoncé. He blasts all the single ladies at 3 am. (Which pisses off Kwazii, because Kwazii needs his beauty sleep.) he also blasts it while him and Shellington are driving. I also think he likes 80s music like David Bowie for example.

I feel like kwazii would love sea snantys and the spice girls (I had a dream where he was singing wannabe so it’s lived rent free in my brain ever since) and he also likes Sublime (blame tweak). And he also enjoys Green Day (blame paani + self projection.), he especially likes Longview bc he relates to it very heavily.

paani I feel like would be a rock (specifically like grunge, punk and metal + some other stuff) and uh. Rap rock. (like linken park) enjoyer. I also thinks he blasts green day’s entire discography. He also can and will sing the entirety of Radiohead’s “okay computer” album from memory.

captain barnacles just listens to whatever . he likes basically everything. But he

inkling likes jazz and oldies. and probably reggae :). I feel like he likes listening to bob marley ngl. And classical music.

oh and I feel like pinto likes Beyoncé. (Blame Peso) and one direction.

Koshi likes one direction and 90s and 2000s boy bands. she likes Backstreet Boys and NSYNC. Along w/ new kids on the block. She also adores musicals like Wicked.

The vegimals like basically everything but they enjoy Weezer very much (blame their nerdy ass dad/pos)

[the-octopod]

HI KWAZIII!1! how is life like as a pirate? do you have any stories to tell? Also, i dare you to prank all of the octonauts in exchange of some leftover catnip that i have hehe

Not cant cant accept catnip now, the crews making me not take it. Sadly. Makes lil ol me sad. Hello!!! How life was like as a pirate it was.... i dont have ONE word for it maybe I do I would use the word... "tough". It was pretty tough I have a lot of mixed emotions about my childhood. I had the freedoms of being a little kitten and play and have fun instead of going to scool and being misrable. I had an entire crew that raised me and helped learn many skills and things and they turned me into the man I am today. Calico Jack made sure my life was full of adventure, he was always looking for some lost treasure and always took me with him. Thats why when he left it was tough. But I know now my childhood was not normal. And it was very stressful actually always running always traveling and not having enough to eat. The fights and battles and evrything was not normal thing either and my current crew kind of let me know its kind of messed up. And it was always too HOT, and messy and I had fleas my entire child-and-teen-hood which is GROSS! That was my life as a pirate, summed up. But I'm an Octonaut now. I was always in search for cratures and monsters, not money or gold, so it makes sense.

Love,

Kwazii

[grape-icing]

hi!! could you write a short story thingy between cg! roxy and regressor! dave? platonic ofc!!! i think roxy would act as a mother figure to dave!!! maybe dave comes over to roxys for a playdate for the first time, and he’s a little nervous to be so vulnerable around someone for the first time!! idk, you can take whatever creative liberty you want with it!! :)) thank you!!

HAIIII IM SO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG!!! IVE HAD TESTING ALL WEEK AND I HAD NO IDEAS!!! SORRY IN ADVANCE IF ITS BAD!!! I'll also post this on ao3 :33333

Actual story!!

Dave was pretty nervous about John's doctor's appointment because he knew John would call a babysitter. Which was fine he supposed due to the fact he already told everyone about his regression but he hadn't been watched by anyone else before. Bluh!!! Even the thought of it made him anxious. Dave curled up next to John, filled with worry.

“Something worry bud?” John questioned the sudden movement of the younger boy.

“Uh no” Dave replied which was a lie because he didn't want John to get worried and potentially miss his appointment. Although now that Dave thought about it….

Well never mind, the mystery babysitter was here. Dave really hoped it wasn't someone in his family.

“Oh! That must be her.” John got up and raced towards the door.

“Hiya Roxy!” Dave was doomed, why did it have to be his mom? Sister? thing of all people, well at least it's not Dirk.

“Ok, so he knows where everything is and stuff. Uh, am I missing anything? Oh, his favorite juice is in the fridge. Shoot I'm already late! Okay got to go, bye Dave I love ya!” John quickly left.

“Hai Davey!” Roxy announced. Dave turned away.

“Oh um okay. Do you want to watch a movie or play or….uhm…do something?” Roxy questioned, trying to get him to do anything.

“No,” Dave said quick and bluntly.

“You don't wanna do…anything like at all? Not even a movie?” Roxy walked over and sat right beside him.

“I- uhm sure, I guess,” Dave replied not trying to hurt his mother's feelings. Dave didn't actually know if Roxy considered herself his mother but she didn't mind being called “Mom” so maybe.

“Good!! So whatcha wanna watch honey?” Roxy reached over to grab the remote.

“Uhm I'm not sure, maybe Octonauts? You can pick if you want though.” Dave said in a softer voice than earlier.

“Nah, Octonauts work!” Roxy quickly put the show on and wrapped an arm around Dave, which he wiggled and squirmed his way out of.

After around 20 minutes Roxy suggested they go outside and get some fresh air which Dave very nervously said yes to.

“Need any help getting your shoes on, baby?” Roxy asked while bending down to him.

“no” Dave stated. Roxy saw right through the lie and helped him tie his shoes.

“Uh m-mom,” Dave muttered.

“Hm? What is it pumpkin?” Roxy questioned as she finished trying the younger one's shoes.

“Nothing much. I was just wondering if it was hot outside.” Dave asked while standing up.

“Oh yeah, it's going to be very hot, perfect for playing!” Roxy said cheerfully while grabbing her purse to leave.

“Oh” whined Dave.

“Is something wrong muffin?” Roxy asked due to the tone of his voice. “If you don't want to play that's okay, we can get ice cream if you want!”

“I want um ice cream, please” Dave followed Roxy onto the front steps.

“Alrighty! We can totes do that, I think there's an ice cream place right around here.”

Roxy carefully held his hand the entire walk home, which Dave thought was nice. After about five minutes of walking, they made it to the ice cream parlor.

“Look! We're here!” Roxy bumped Dave on the shoulder to draw his attention.

“Mhm,” Dave quietly followed his mother over to the counter to order their ice creams.

“Okay I'll have one strawberry ice cream and, what do you want Dave?”

“Uhh cookies and cream please.”

After the two got their ice cream they started to walk back home.

“Hey Rox, do ya know um when dad is going to be home?”

“Yeah, he has to run some errands so it might be another hour or two. Don't worry though! Me and you will have loads of fun.” Roxy reassured him that the time would fly by and she'd be out in no time.

“It's okay if you don't want me to stay. I'm not mad I promise.” Roxy gently stoked his hair.

“N-no I don't want you to leave I just don't want you to uhmm never mind.” Dave quickly cut himself off before starting to try and speed-walk home.

“Dave baby slow down. You can tell me anything! I wouldn't say a peep to anybody, not even John!” Dave hit a full stop when she said that.

“Uhm well that was kinda it, I don't want you to go and talk about me to like, I don't know, Rose or Dirk?” Roxy turned to Dave and pulled him into a hug.

“I would never do that, but I can understand why you would think that. Hehe, I talk a bunch so it's reasonable.”

Dave and Roxy stood, embraced in that hug for at least a minute straight before going back to walking again.

Once the two of them returned to the house Roxy decided it would be best just to stay home due to the heat instead of playing outside. Roxy put Dave’s show back on before realizing he was probably still hungry.

“Hey sweet pea, you hungry?” Dave silently nodded. While Roxy went to cook him something, Dave slowly moved over to where he kept all of his little items but started to hesitate, finally, he picked up his bottle.

“Whatcha messing with Dave?” Roxy asked, coming into the room to check on him.

“Uh n-nothing?” Dave squealed out as he quickly shoved what he was holding behind his back.

“Are you sure? Because that didn't seem like nothing?” Roxy questioned as she got closer. “What’s behind your back, Dave?”

“Nothing like I said!” Dave said in an elevated tone, leaning away from her, trying to conceal what was behind him.

“Dude, I need to see what's behind you so I can make sure it’s nothing dangerous.” Roxy pulled his arms away from his back, which was surprisingly easy.

“Pumpkin if you wanted a drink you could have just asked. I'll bring it when I bring your food. I'll be right back!” Roxy placed a small kiss on his forehead and went back to the kitchen.

While Roxy was in the kitchen she quickly filled up his bottle with the apple juice in the fridge, Grabbed his food, and made her way back into the living room. When she got there she handed him the plate.

“Um, thanks” Dave muttered while eating a big spoonful.

“Of course!” Roxy answered.

“Oh, wait! Here’s your bottle, sweetie.” Roxy handed him his cup and sat down beside him. Dave mumbled something inaudible and shoved it where it couldn’t be seen due to him being embarrassed by it. Which obviously confused Roxy.

“You okay little dude? I saw you hiding your drink, any reason for it? if it’s because of me, you don't gotta worry, I don't care whatcha do as long as you’re not getting hurt or making a mess.” Roxy moved closer so she was basically right against Dave’s back, She gave him a small hug from behind. Dave leaned into her warm embrace and cautiously reached for his bottle, looking over at Roxy to make sure she wouldn't judge him or anything like that. Roxy planted a small kiss on his head as he finally started to drink his juice. After around twenty minutes Roxy pulled a blanket over him as soon as she realized he was asleep.

“Hey! I'm back!” John announced, getting cut off by a loud “shhh!!” from Roxy.

OCtober Day 27

Prompt: Found

Words: 358

Canon to my other stories: Sort of

Additional notes: You'll see why I said sort of canon when you read it.

Credit to @apromptingwewillgo for the prompts.

Found

"Angel Bingham! Thank God we found you!"

Dozens of identical men in suits and dark sunglasses, seemingly incapable of smiling, stormed the Octopod. One of them lifted Angel up and threw her over his shoulder.

"Hey!" she shrieked, thumping his shoulder repeatedly. "Put me down!"

He and his clones ignored her.

Captain Barnacles entered HQ, casually sipping on his hot chocolate. When he saw what was happening, his eyes widened. "Wha-"

Before he could make another sound, two more men in suits shoved him up against the wall and slapped a pair of handcuffs on him.

"You're all under arrest for holding a little girl hostage!" the man who seemed to be in charge barked.

In a matter of minutes, every Octonaut and Vegimal was rounded up, handcuffed and dragged up to HQ.

"Come on, Angel, let's go!" The man holding her carried her away.

"No!" she cried. "You can't arrest the Octonauts! They saved me!"

"They should have handed you over to your Aunt Trisha. Which is where you're going right now!"

No! Not horrible Aunt Trisha! Anything but that!

"You can't make me go!" Angel screamed.

"Take her away", the head honcho ordered softly.

"No! Please no! Octonauts! Don't let them take me!"

"We've got enough problems as it is", Captain Barnacles informed her coldly. "We can't worry about you!"

"No!" Angel cried again. "Don't let them take me! I want to stay here!"

*****

The girl gasped. She sat upright, her eyes darting wildly around the GUP-X (where they were all spending the night after a late mission), surrounded by seven Octonauts and five Vegimals.

"Are you all right?" Captain Barnacles quizzed her gently. "It sounded like you were having a nightmare."

Angel nodded, trying to slow her breathing down. "Other humans found me. They were going to take me away from you guys! Forever!"

She felt much better when everyone surrounded her with hugs, kind words, promises that that would never happen and fish biscuits. The latter came from the Vegimals.

Angel remembered how lost she'd felt when she'd first met the Octonauts. Now, if this was lost, she never wanted to be found.

Octonauts - A new Generation

Chapter 7

Routine

Barnacles’ pov

Missing humuhumunukunukuapua'a part 2

His alarm goes off. He jumps out of bed. He puts on his cold suit. He brushes his teeth. He goes through the Octo-shoot and into the HQ. This was his daily morning routine. Despite going to bed late, he still woke up early. While yawning, he walks to the hot cocoa machine and puts his cup in place. It has been years since Barnacles has had coffee. It took him quite a while to get used to having hot cocoa instead, but now he’s practically addicted to it. He remembers the first (and hopefully last) time the Octonauts and Octo-agents had completely run out of hot cocoa. No matter how hard he tried to hide his disappointment, he has a sneaking suspicion that it still showed.

As he takes a sip of his hot cocoa, Dashi hops out of the Octo-shoot, shortly followed by Tweak.

“Good morning ladies”, Barnacles says.

“Morning cap”, Tweak yawns as she walks towards the hot cocoa machine.

“Good morning captain Barnacles”, Dashi replies in a formal manner, as always.

“How did you sleep?”, he asks, knowing full well how Tweak will answer.

The rabbit groans as she stretches herself. “Could barely sleep, once again”, she answers annoyed.

“I slept fairly well, thanks for asking. How about you captain?”, Dashi returns the question.

“Oh, well…I also slept well”, Barnacles replies.

“You’re the worst at ly’ng”, Tweak remarks while chuckling, “I heard you ‘nd the others returning long past midnight."

“I see. Well, I hope we didn’t wake you up”, Barnacles says sheepishly, ashamed that he had been caught.

“Not at all, I was just about-a hop out of bed and play a li’l until sleep finally finds me”, Tweak resplies while laughing.

Barnacles peaks over to Dashi, who gave him a concerned look.

“With all due respect, perhaps you should stay in bed a little longer captain”, Dashi calmly says.

Barnacles loves her calm voice, but he is ashamed at how she’s more professional than he is.

“There is no need to worry about me Dashi, I’ll be fine. Besides, I need to continue the search for the missing humuhumu”, he says firmly.

Dashi’s concerned expression does not ease away. She opens her mouth to say something, but is interrupted by an ear screeching yell from the Octo-shoot.

“YYOOOWWWW!”, a ginger cat comes shooting out of the Octo-shoot, making a double front flip as he does so.

“Captain, I’m ready to continue the search!”, Kwazii exclaims, with a bit too much enthusiasm for someone who is supposed to be tired.

“I am ready as well”, Peso says while letting out a yawn.

“Are you sure?”, Barnacles asks with worry, “I can go on my own if you’re too tired-“

“Don’t worry captain!”, Kwazii yells.

“We’ll find Humpert and then come back to get some rest”, Peso calmly reassures.

“Alright”, Barnacles says, seeing the flames of determination in both Kwazii and Peso, “Let’s get going.”

The trio had been searching for Humpert for hours now. With each hour that passed, Peso grew more and more uneasy. Barnacles had observed the same behavior the day before, and was starting to get concerned about his crew mate. The whole crew had become a family, but of course, they all still have their own secrets, their own hidden past lives that might be revealed when the time comes to do so.

After another hour of searching for the humuhumu without any success, Barnaces decides that the trio should take a break and eat something. Peso, however, politely excuses himself and continues searching for the fish on his own. It took some persuading, but Barnacles ended up giving him perission to do so.

“What’s wrong with our lil’ matey?”, Kwazii asks as soon as the medic leaves the gup-A.

“I’m not sure”, Barnacles calmly responds.

“Should we ask him?”, Kwazii sugggests.

Barnacles thinks for a minute. He is concerned about the penguin, but if Peso is not ready to talk about it, then they shouldn’t push him to do so. On the other hand, maybe all it takes for Peso to finally open up is for them to ask him what’s going on. Either way, there’s no harm in asking him. As long as they do it politely.

“We’ll ask him about it when the time is right”, Barnacles confirms.

As soon as the duo finish eating, they continue with their search, while also keeping an eye out for Peso.

“I’m near a coral reef captain”, Peso’s voice explains through the radio.

“I see one up ahead on the left!”, Kwazii excitedly exclaims.

“We’re on our way Peso”, Barnacles’ tone was calm.

It didn’t take long for the duo to find the penguin. They continued their search for a few more hours. Peso was getting more and more impatient, making the others more and more concerned. Kwazii gives Barnacles a sad look. Barnacles nods shortly, signalizing that now is the right time.

“Are you alright me hearty?”, Kwazii calmly asks, with an unnaturally comforting voice for someone like him.

“Yeah”, Peso sheepishly answers.

“Peso, if you ever need to talk to anyone, we’re always here to listen”, Branacles says, making sure that his voice stays calm, comforting and reassuring.

Peso hesitates for a while, looking down at his feet while thinking about it.

“I’m just worried. Creatures that go missing…what if they have a severe injury?”, he slowly explains.

“Peso, has this kind of situation happen to you before?”, Barnacles says slowly, attempting to get a little more information from what Peso has mentioned.

“…My brother. Not Pinto, my other brother”, Peso finally admits.

“Other brother!?”, Kwazii says, the concern now replaced by shock and disbelief, “Since when have you had another brother!?”

Peso flinches at the sudden change of tone.

“Calm down Kwazii”, Barnacles firmly says, stopping the engine to put a comforting paw on Peso’s shoulder.

“Pedro. He…he went missing. For months. When he was found… It was too late”, Peso slowly starts crying.

Barnacles pulls him into a hug. Kwazii joins them shortly after. The trio stay that way for a few more minutes.

“We’ll find Humpert Peso, I promise”, Barnacles softly, but firmly, states.

Ok, so hear me out: Does anybody else hear Captain Barnacles from Octonauts and swear its Suzy Eddie Izzard? I swear to all the holy relics and precious religious bits that if Bug is watching that show, I'm not paying attention, and the captain comes on, I half expect to look up and see the captain in fantastic make-up! I mean, am I wrong here? I'm pretty good with voices and I had to Google it I was so convinced.

Just me???

Ok, carry on then...

Whoa, uh, where did you guys all come from??? Haven’t used Tumblr in a hot minute, and I come back and see I have over 300 followers????

Thank you all, and I’m sorry for the long wait. I had a ton happening irl (long story) and thought it would be for the best if I deleted Tumblr. I recently started drawing Octonauts again (just a warning, my art style has changed… a lot… again) and I have only recently had time to start writing and drawing. Apparently taking AP classes takes up a ton of time, who knew?

I really appreciate all of you staying with me, and I’ll try to post more!
