🐠 Day 6 | Mistaken Identity for @flufftober!

When Queen Nethimir told Siren that Kappa needed his help, the shark prince's instincts kicked in and he was swimming to the speed of light toward potential danger. That is until he arrived at the designated location and felt nothing but confusion at what he saw.

There in the middle of the cave was his boyfriend, happily blabbing away and clinging to Mono and Mucku, who both did their best to keep him steady and prevent him from falling over.

“Do I wanna know what's going on here?”

Ladies and gents, I'm so happy to get to do this wonderful prompt today, not just for my Flufftober run, but also as part of the Webtoon Appreciation Exchange! 💖

Castle Swimmer is probably the first Webtoon I ever came across, so it holds a dear and special place in my heart. Hopefully my giftee likes it!

“He's in here…”

When Queen Nethimir told Siren that Kappa needed his help, the shark prince's instincts kicked in and he was swimming to the speed of light toward potential danger, leaving the Octalia behind.

Once he arrived at the designated location however, his adrenaline wore off and his eyebrows furrowed in slight confusion.

There in the middle of the cave was his boyfriend, happily blabbing away and clinging to Mono and Mucku, who both did their best to keep him steady and prevent him from falling over. The giggles that erupted from the Beacon were ones Siren had never heard before, and the confusion inside him only multiplied by tenfold.

Nethimir only let out a sigh as she rubbed her temples in frustration. “I guess I should've started with the fact that all things considered, he's fine.”

Siren finally turned to the Queen of the Octalia. “Do I wanna know what's going on?”

“He's been stressed out of his mind lately. Don't think I need to tell you that, I'm sure you've noticed.” Nethimir began her explanation as calmly as possible as she eyed her two companions, still desperately trying to keep the young merman from smashing into a wall. “So Mucku suggested an old Octalian brew that Mono and I taught her a few months back. Guess she forgot about its… tipsy properties when too much is ingested at once.”

After giving him another look over, Siren indeed noticed the strange behavior akin to that of his own mother when she indulged in a few drinks of Ale—lack of body coordination, glassy eyes, slurred speech, and lots of laughing. Or in Kappa's case it was more like snorting. Which Siren found incredibly adorable, but that's besides the point.

“He started crying when he realized you weren't here, so I figured you'd be able to calm him down. Maybe even get him to go to sleep so this can all pass…” The Octalia Queen gave him a sympathetic look; one the shark prince still wasn't used to receiving from the group of ‘evil witches’.

Still, he knew none of them had meant Kappa any harm. With a reassuring smile, he turned toward the trio with determination in his eyes. “It's okay. Thank you for always looking out for him. I'll take it from here.”

With a hum, Nethimir swam her way to Mono, who looked incredibly relieved to see that the cavalry had arrived. It made Siren chuckle at the display.

“Siiiiiren!”

“O-Oof!”

In the mere seconds he took his eyes off him, Kappa had somehow snuck his way to the shark's side, squeezing him firmly against his side with force he didn't know he had. Giggles erupted past his lips while snuggling to his side. “You caaaame! Neth said she was gonna get you but it took forevah!”

The shark merely let out a soft chuckle as he reached for the brunet's soft locks. Kappa hummed under his touch and leaned into it. It reminded Siren of Arp and that image alone was enough to make his stomach flutter. “I see you've been having fun. Still, I think it's time we hit the hay—big day tomorrow, remember?”

“Awww, but you JUST got here! Do we gotta?” A pair of puppy eyes were sent in his direction, and Siren had to remind himself that he was the responsible one at the moment, and that Kappa most definitely needed rest.

“Yes, we have to. We can cuddle all you want, though! Worm can even be by our fins to keep us warm.”

At the comment, Kappa's expression shifted to one of pure mischief. The kind he knew all too well when his boyfriend had some rather… unholy intentions in mind. “I can think of another way or two to stay warm…”

Siren's ears instantly lit aflame, but he coughed into his hand to try and hide the clear embarrassment in his face. “L-Lets just go…”

With that, the shark prince dragged a giggling Kappa away from the cave, waving the Octalia goodnight and silently thanking them for looking after the merman. As they made their way to their hut, Arp had popped up and decided to join them, much to Kappa's delight.

It didn't take long for them to make it to their makeshift bedroom. After placing Kappa under Arp's care, Siren started getting things ready for them to crash. That didn't stop his boyfriend from babbling even more, though.

“Ya know, Mucku? *hic* Lots of people flirted with me before I met you guys. I mean A LOT!” Kappa made wild gestures with his hands to emphasize his point. Poor Arp could only dodge any incoming hits unintentionally aimed his way.

Siren laughed at the comment—Kappa was starting to get delusional. It was rather entertaining to see, if he was being honest. He couldn't help but play along as he flattened their bed. “Oh yeah?”

“Ye! I mean I get *hic* being the Beacon must be attractive to lots of folks…” After laying on the floor with Arp in his arms, Kappa's expression turned to one of faint annoyance. “But I'd always say ‘Excuse me, but I have a boyfriend! A HOT one, might I add!’”

Siren's ears perked up at that, a goofy smile tugging at the corner of his lips. This was probably the stupidest thing to get giddy over, but he couldn't help but feel like this everytime Kappa called him attractive. Sure, he'd get loads of comments like those back home, but they never had this effect on him.

The merman kept on going, a dreamy smile plastered on his face as he stared at the ceiling. “I mean, one time he started nibbling at my neck when he thought I was asleep *hic* and MAN, it felt SO GOOD, I could feel myself getting pretty hard—”

“Ooookay!” Bubbles erupted from around Siren as the heat from his cheeks began to spread in every corner of his body. This adorable, smart, sexy, funny merman would be the death of him one of these days, and he could do nothing but wait for that time to come. “B-Bed's ready! You need your sleep so let's talk about this another time!”

“Awww, Mucku you're no fun!” Kappa whined as Siren gently carried him to their bed, laying him down just as delicately while the Beacon yawned into his hand. “But fiiiiine! Siren won't let me hear the end of it if I pull an all nighter…”

“Glad we're on the same page.” Once his boyfriend was secured, Arp made himself comfortable on top of his master, purring into his chest while Kappa hummed in delight, pulling him closer as he snuggled. Siren smiled at the display—he'd wait for Kappa to fall asleep, then go into the bed beside him. No way he'd want to disturb this.

“Hey Muckuuuu?”

“Yeah?”

“Don't tell Siren any of this, okay?” Kappa's voice suddenly went soft, barely above a whisper as a tiny smile decorated his face. “He's really self-conscious about this sorta stuff… he might be uncomfy if people talk about him like that.”

Siren's heart soared in his chest at those words. He couldn't help but lean down and place a soft kiss against the Beacon's temple, getting a small giggle in return. “You're secret's safe with me, little witch…”

And just like that, Kappa was out like a light, snoring softly against Arp looking like a little angel.

Siren chuckled softly at the display.

Kappa may not remember any of this in the morning, but that was okay. The feeling he left in Siren's chest was more than enough proof that it happened.

And that was all the shark could ever ask for.

Day in Fandom History: March 23…

When Milo gets abducted by the Octalians, things go awry for them as Melissa, Zack, and Doofenshmirtz must find their missing friend as Cavendish witnesses the whole thing but nobody believes him. “Abducting Murphy’s Law” premiered on this day, 5 Years Ago.

[momphineasandferbmadeablog]

do you think that the aliens who gave hamster and gretel their powers are friends with the aliens who keep taking milo to school who are also friends with the meaplings who are also friends with the martians who are also friends with the octalians who are also wait why are there so many aliens in these shows

[wherevenusholdssomeofficespace]

"And you gotta believe in something So today I believed in you And you came through, we made it I've never been so proud."

It's Candace believing in Phineas and Ferb, Phineas and Ferb believing in Candace. It's Phineas doubting himself and Isabella talking him back up the way he does for everyone else.

It's about the fact Perry copied everything the boys did all summer because he knew the boys could help him and how that got the boys to trust him again. It's Perry letting go because Phineas asked him to.

It's about how Candace found the confidence to talk Super Super Big Doctor down because her brothers believed in her.

It's about Melissa's faith in Milo getting to school on time. How Zack reassured his bandmates, and how his faith in them made the concert a success and kept him from feeling embarrassed in front of his former bandmates.

How without hesitation Isabella, Buford and Baljeet decide to help Phineas and Ferb save Candace, or how Candace immediately turns to get their help to save Phineas and Ferb even when they don't know her but work together anyway.

How Candace immediately recognizing and trusting Phineas's voice, and how Phineas trusts her to find the aliens.

Or even just Milo trusting Zack and Melissa with his backpack to help him finish a race, and them finding just as much pride in their success.

It's about Amanda giving Milo the chance to mess things up during Cakesplosion, but they win partially because of it.

It's the pistachions being fought by all those Dakota's born of a dedication to believing in the value of Cavendish just being Cavendish, even as Cavendish tried to find greater purpose in world saving.

It's the Octalians counting on Milo, who counted on his friends, which inspired the Octalians to believe in themselves and join together to ease Orgaluth's Law.

It's about Fred's mom recognizing the value of Fred's skill set and encouraging her to use it.

It's why Kevin has to learn to trust Gretel and how Gretel knows Kevin will save her.

Why Bailey's hurt when Gretel doesn't seem to trust her.

It's Lyla and Perry having to work together on that hand cart.

It's about Doof listening to his loved ones for once and taking steps to turn his life around for them and the support Doof gets to stop evil and become professor time. The faith that he could become professor time, making professor time save them when they needed it. It's about the belief of becoming professor time that allowed professor time to save them all.

It's about the transitive power of belief. It's about the transitive property of love. It's the believing in other people, supporting other people that leads to true success.

#8: Managing Murphy's Law

The song was obviously the highlight of the episode. It makes it to #2 on my MML season 2 songs list. But the song alone isn't what puts it up this high.

The episode begins after Amanda promotes herself to band manager and books a gig for Just Getting Started at the Forget the Llamas, Save the Alpacas concert later that day. This sentence is only made stranger by the other subplot of Dakota and Cavendish going on a mission to retrieve an alien mind eraser, first reported by Jeremy, from the Slushy Dawg drive thru. And that sentence is only made stranger by the Octalians, who appeared for the first time this episode and may or may not have left the mind eraser. (It blows my mind just how many alien species there are in the Dwampyverse.)

Not much to say about the Octalians, so I'll just say that they seemed to represent Murphy's Law in this episode. Both of the others were substantially more interesting.

The Cavota subplot (yes, someone DOES call them that) was the funniest part. I love how every blackout they have seems to last longer than the last, and they do more and more outrageous things each time, as if the effects of the device accumulate with each memory wipe. I can't decide whether it's funnier if this was done on purpose so that any subject who forgot what they did would become even more insane, or on accident, as in, it was just a design flaw.

The whole thing with Just Getting Started practicing all day while also trying to figure out a new band name was... I mean, Amanda felt a little too bossy for most of it, but at the same time it's completely understandable. And yeah, checks out that Zack would be the one who would try and come up with a different name because he's basically been the audience surrogate, but Milo would be the one to just accept the name after hearing it a bunch of times because he's the one most accustomed to "Just Roll(ing) With It".

And I can't forget the Amanda-powered Milanda moments either! From her promoting herself to his band manager (presumably just to be with him), to helping them practice, to keeping him on track when he was about to quit, to straight up kissing him, this episode was a gold mine!

One last random thought: it's really lucky that Cavendish and Dakota's last blackout ended when it did, because otherwise Milo and Co would have had their memories wiped when they went out after the concert! Although, they're also pretty unlucky unless they like fish sandwiches.

Great episode, top tier song, and Milanda's first kiss!

Day in Fandom History: May 11…

The Octalians arrive back on Earth and abduct Milo once again, this time with an armada, to safely take him to their home planet as Milo's friends back on Earth must find a way to rescue him from the Octalians. “Milo in Space” premiered on this day, 5 Years Ago.

[mekuyashima]

Milo deserved better but I’m sooooo done crying for a 3rd season

(More of my art from 2019)

[dwampyverse-content]

Spoilers for people who haven’t seen yet

At some point in “Sphere and Loathing in Outer Space” the Octalian doctor says

OD: “You also may develop telepathy.”

And Milo replied

M: “I knew you were going to say that.”

So it’s heavily implied that he can do that now, or he was just being funny and then realized what they were talking about. I chose the first :D

I thought it fit that lol

Prompt #1040

"How many..."

"Three."

"I haven't held up any fingers yet."

[danvillecheese]

just an observation

[wherevenusholdssomeofficespace]

With the S2 finale, and Milo's untimely end, came the story of the Octalians. They kidnapped Milo, hoping that Milo, who somehow managed Murphy's Law could handle their problems with negative probability ions on his own. But the thing is Milo never handled Murphy's Law on his own.

Melissa placed bets on Milo to recoup the loss of his (and Zack's) lunches. Sara picked up an extra comic book for Milo. Zack and Melissa chased him down when he was sleepwalking. Melissa spent so long studying Murphy's law, that she got a sense for how to utilize it to their advantage. Zack and Melissa carried Milo's backpack for him while he ran a race. Veronica gave him his backpack and taught him to utilize it. Amanda acted as their band manager and thought of contingencies for them so they could focus on practicing. And of course, Diogee finds Milo anywhere to help him out. Everyone working together to finish a board game simply because Milo had never succeeded before. Even the episode Escape, the last episode before the final Octalians related episodes, is about Milo, Lydia, Scott and Coach Nolan working together to, well escape the effects of Murphy's Law which trapped them in an elevator.

Milo Murphy's Law ends with the Octalians, inspired by how not only Milo, but Milo's friends, handle the adversity, reach out and help. Fighting negative probability as a team. What Milo did for the Octalians wasn't to deal with the negativity probability ions because he was someone who was used to them, but to show the Octalians how they could help Orgaluth with her negative probability ions. The solution to things going wrong is supporting each other.
