#vegimals octonauts

[moominvalley-state-of-mind]

ALRIGHTY

Idk if this qualifies as an au but whatever lol

So the au is set like a century or two or more so in the future, the vegimals obviously being immortal (/silly), the octonauts (probobly the ones we know, a few gens after, idk yet) has disbanded after some horrific accident

The vegimals are living on a mostly broken octopod (I'm talking lower half and some sleeping things are flooded, lights mostly off, ect) and for story purposes the arm of the octopod that dashi & Peso (?) slept in is not flooded

Days and weeks and months have begun to blur togethor and the vegimals have been spending all their time trying to get the octopod up and running (their crew will come back, right?)

So have a little fanfic:

Tunip swims up to dashi's room, remembering she had a book on the mechanics of the octopod

In their search, Tunip finds a box filled with USB drives or smth

Plugging one in the computor rewards them with a video of a christmas they had all spent togethor (the vegimal Christmas episode)

Plates are set at the table, the crew is running around and laughing.

Dashi steps away from the video recorder and looks back, then jogging over to the tabel where Barrot is setting down the last plate, pilled with food

The video goes on for a while, until evreyone seems to have turned in for the night & dashi is left to shut down anything costing them energy.

She's at the computor, typing away quickly when she straightens, remembering the video.

Dashi runs over a turns it off, cursing something about waisting battery.

Turnip rushes downstairs and shows the video to the rest of the vegimals, all taking a (well needed) break to remember

The videos range from dashi in her room, giving a recap of her day, like a video diary, to less than thirty seconds of a butterfly or a fish, to the rest of the octonauts celebrating something - laughing, jumping and cheering.

They record all of the years dashi lived on the octopod, but stutter out to being farther apart around the time she starts to live & work more on the octoray (evreyone really hopes there's more on there)

At the bottom of the box they find one with a pice of tape over it, marked with the date dashi was first employed (the vegimals weren't aware of this before watching this)

The video clicks on and dashi comes into frame, falling into a chair infront of the camera

"Hello! Uh - to anyone seeing this, my name is Dashi, and this is the first of many video diaries I wanna record while working on the octopod!"

She goes on to talk excitedly about the day, the people she's met ("and theirs this really cute scottish guy - I think he's the biologist, but anyways -"), the octopod and it's utilities, but most of all - the veiw.

"It's really pretty! I can't wait to take more photos of it!"

She turns the camera around to face the big blue ocean - it isn't much to look at, almost like a void, but she sounds so exited it makes the veiw so much more butiful

Dashi turns the camera back around to wave and say goodbye, reaching over and shutting off the video.

Yeah :]

I might wanna expand on this a bit more, apologies for my writing, it's like my first time writing dashi & any of the vegimals lol

I love the idea of dashi expanding on her role as photographer and she seems like she'd like to record thing for the sake of ~prosperity~

Hope yall liked it :D

mama mia here we go again (this is insanely fun)

I really want to see you draw shellington with the Vegimals aka his kids and everyone's first reactions to the Vegimals!

Note: Peso isn’t here because this all takes place before he joined

When the Vegimals first hatched, Shellington was astonished by these fascinating creatures.

And then reality set in

How was he going to tell the rest of the crew?

On top of this now he had to take care of these little guys. Give them names, feed them, ect.

Welcome to parenthood Shellington

He was nervous about the crew getting scared, or worse wanting the Vegimals to be released back into the ocean, so he kept his care for them a secret. (Although he wasn’t particularly subtle)

Soon Captain Barnacles noticed how sluggish and overworked Shellington had become and decided to check on him, only to be met with a small little creature thrusted into his arms by Shellington.

The lab was in total chaos and Shellington wasn’t looking too well.

Even with a very brief explanation from Shellington, the Captain could see how exhausted he was. And the Vegimals didn’t seem dangerous, just a bit of a handful.

So he made the decision to brief in the other Octonauts.

They were all shocked by the Vegimals, and had so many questions.

But Captain Barnacles made it very clear the main priority was to help Shellington. Luckily, Inkling found a few baby books in his big library.

They all joined Shellington in the lab bringing fish biscuit formula, blankets, Tweak had made little beds, Inkling brought a few books for Shellington, and they all stayed with him to help out with the Vegimals.

Shellington was very touched by his crew’s compassion, so much so he fell asleep.

The captain didn’t mind though, and they all kept watch over their new crew members while Shellington got some well overdue rest.

And by the time Peso joined, they Vegimals were very much a part of the crew, and he was briefed in about them and to not be startled by them.

Octonauts Headcanons because they consume my brain (sleep edition)

Shellington cannot sleep if he isn't holding something, usually a plush toy or his own paw.

Dashi takes a while to get comfortable, tossing and turning for up to an hour.

Captain Barnacles has a special cooling blanket because polar bear.

The vegimals will routinely sleep in one big pile of the greenhouse floor for no apparent reason.

When stressed, Peso will make a nest out of blankets and pillows to sleep in.

Kwazii will knead his pillow before he goes to bed.

Tweak is a very active sleeper. She's a sleep-talker and -walker.

Inkling will occasionally fall asleep in the library. His little ear things will also twitch if you touch them.
