Inkling:he is 73 and is a retired professor of marine biology. Inkling decided to travel once he finished university when he was 22,his travels quickly turned into research on endangered wildlife (water life?fish) and natural marine structures .His travels eventually brought him to china where met a cartographer named min after he got stuck in some bamboo (that’s as much as I know about how they mett season five is not available in my country)the tow began talking and quickly got involved, there was a bit of confusion on the nature of their relationship all internal until min broke the ice never being one to sit around and wait and they became a couple.They traveled all over china together mapping the landscapes and investigating the marine life for tow years.Inkling had stayed in china for fare longer than he had intended because he didn’t want to leave min but he had to go back to england, he proposed to min and asked her to return home with him but she declined as she still had work to do in china,but she still wanted to continue there relationship.Inkling returned home heart broken but had the comfort of letters from min.Inkling became a professor of marine biology when he was 26 he had dreamed and petitioned for a aquatic life research and preservation team to be assembled and to be based somewhere out at sea but was rejected numerous times till eventually he gave up.When he was 40 he met a young man in the navy at a pub who was fascinated with marine animals and there delicate eco systems,the young man by the the name of barnacles was fascinated to hear about inkling past attempts of developing a research and preservation team and greatly encouraged him to pursue it again.When inkling was 42 he became the prod fonder of the Octonauts after his petition finally passed as it had great support from the navy put he maintained his position as a professor at the university.His team started out small consisting of himself ,the young man in the navy and a girl from the USA called tweak who was a friend of barnacle who wanted to lend their inventions and mechanical expertise to his cause.When inkling was 60 he took a back seat handing the role of captain over to barnacles who he trusted most whith the position.When inkling was 63 he ran into a former student of his how seemed to be distressed so inkling bought him a drink his old student confided in him that he had got someone pregnant and that they we’re going to get married but she called of there engagement,inkling offered his prior student shellington some comfort .When inkling was 66 he suggested to barnacles that he should recruit shellington as a Octonaut as inkling was getting older and would need some extra help fulfilling his duties on the octopod.when inkling was 72 he was reunited with min and they were finally married.Inkling enjoys jigsaws and often dose them with peso and shellington (mainly shellington)he is shockingly good at ping pong and candy crush.inkling is has a grandfather-grandson relationship with tunip and is the one that looks after and entertains tunip when he is on the octopod.inkling is in a whellchair.he youes he/him pronouns and is an ally.He had to be educated on transgender people in his 40s when he met tweak as he didn’t know that they existed when he met her and he was very confused.
soz this was a long one
(also almost everything in all my head canons are in my human au i only clarified that for one thing in the last one even tho all of them were bare 2 i know no one cares just putting it out there)
both kwazii and barnacles are scared shitless of elevators.barnacles cuz of his claustrophobia and kwazii cuz he got trapped in one as a child
shellington is scared of flying
peso LOVES grapes
peso and dashi love musicals
inkling owns several scrapbooks
tracker had a SEVERE lisp when he was younger
tweak participates (and wins) robo fights
kwazii has a secret stash of cat nip

Peso just pretends to believe and be scared of Kwaziis stories cuz come on you’re not that stupid.but sometimes when it starts to look freakishly like Kwaziis stories he does actually start to get scared cuz he knows there’s no such thing but the stories are playing in the back of his head
Shellington sleepwalks and talks
Professor inkling sometimes juggles the vegimals (they ask/want him too)
Kwazii is really really good at card games everyone thinks he’s cheating but he’s not he’s just really good at cards
every time someone says that there going to the bathroom regardless of gender Tweak screams “GO PISS GIRL GO PISS‼️”
Dashi falls asleep to true crime podcasts
Barnacles attends Zoomba (Zumba?)classes
Calico jack taught Kwazii how to ride a bike by just pushing him down hills till he got it cuz that’s how he was taught (it took kwazii 3 weeks to learn how)
Calico jack used to take kwazii to school on a motorcycle (in my human au too)
Tunip: he is 10.when he was younger his dad would usually work for home but when he had to go in he would be left with his bio mum if she was available but it would be very rare that she could take him because of her job so he would most often be left with his grandparents or his aunt pearl.When tunip started to get older his dad started bringing him into work usually for weeks at a time due to the location(ya know the sea).Because of Tunips unusual circumstances he was allowed to take classes online and be parshaly homeschooled by professor inkling during the weeks his dad had to be on the octopod.Tunip loves being on the octopod but because he is almost never in school Tunip started to become quite isolated which is very difficult for him as he is naturally very sociable (he gets it from dashi and his bio mum) so when he’s not on the octopod his parents schedule as many play dates with his school friends(the other vegimals)(-tomonnow because he hasn’t met them yet) as they can.Tunip is very proud that 2 of his parents are octonauts he often comes home with stories from their adventures that he tells his friends his friends love these stories and now there favourite game to play is the octonauts.Tunip and his bio mum have a fairly good relationship they aren’t as close as they would like to be because tunips bio mum has to travel around a lot for work but when she is home she spends as much time with Tunip as possible.She often takes him out for fancy lunches and dinners and always brings him back something from the place she had to travel to.Tunip loves his dad and loves dashi and is used to calling her mum cuz she’s been around since he was a toddler.Dashi is the one who taught him how to cook.He is on good terms with all the octonauts especially dashi and shellington (cuz they’re his parents) and professor inking (as he spends the most time with him besides his parents)Tunip is very friendly,brave and a natural leader he loves cooking,baking and ping pong.
please ignore any and all spelling mistakes and poor punctuation .don’t a few of the others are extremely traumatised.
shellington as a mlp (I’ll do him as a human soon I’m just lazy) for some reason tumblr fucked with the colours
Hello!
Seeing as my favorite show of all time is Thunderbirds are go! But, before that it was the Octonauts! Could you try combining the two shows somehow?! Whether that's art or fiction, I don't mind.😁
I’m going to guess you ment crossover so here are some, I’ll draw more another time if I can come up with more ideas. Hope these are good though
i would like to point out that the gup a has secret storage under the main control area meaning it has two storage areas
i would like to point out that the gup a has secret storage under the main control area meaning it has two storage areas
friendly reminder there is a canon version of dnd in the Octonauts universe, its called oceans and orges and inkling is the main DM
I know the show is supposed to be more realistic but why can't Tweek glow just once

She was a fairy ✨

WIP! Of a forgotten octonauts OC I had.
His name is Aslan. An octonauts villain >:3
----------------------------
A Barnacle's headcanon (I have, since y'all want more Barnacle's lore of my AU). Is Barnacle's used to have a family way before he joined the octonauts. A loving mate with a cub. But they were lost to him. It sent him into a deep dark depressive state and eventually uncontrollable anger and aggression believing it was all his fault, but now learning new lessons and now being a gentle bear, he joined the octonauts and now had started a new family with shellington and had his pubs. He vows to himself to always protect them and be there when in danger.
---------------------------------
Just a lil something for my friend @mooshie-blue
:3 her small husbando bear boi. He's such a good boi. 🐻❄️❤️
Woah what's dis!? A wild polar bear protecting his pregnant mate! :O
Love these two sm. Don't mind the Captain he's just protecting his treasure.
*Turns a lil to real*
Tweak bunny ladies and gentlemen.
Not me doing a 1 in the morning doodle cause my brain ain't working.
Such a random quote.
Art trade with @jadedpawz
Plus doodle of a slightly older Barnacle's.
I love these two sm 🥺❤️
Some Barnington doodles! Cuz I do what I want!
More doodles coming soon. Hopefully.
Got anyyy Barnington headcanons?
Yes!... Alot actually! ^^ <3
Barnacle's tends to be protective when Shelly gets hurt or if he feels like they're being threatened.
When resting together, Barnacle's curls around shellington, like how a dog will circle around before laying down.
Barnacle's is very gentle with shellington ever since they first meet.
Shellington likes to share barnacle's the research and Sketch they made, Barnacle's doesn't mind seeing them, and knowing more facts from Shellington.
When the vegimals came into shellington's life and were a handful shellington would be exhausted, but Barnacle's will take care of them while shellington rest on his lap.
If Barnacle's was the one who was overworked/overworking shellington would be stroking his fur as he rest on shellington's lap.
Some mornings Barnacle's would make shellington breakfast in bed if late nights were rough for them.
Every morning shellington loves to make hot coco for Barnacle's before he wakes up.
With the help of the vegimals shellington loves to make Barnacle's favorite dishes and meals.
After missions both of them would have deep conversations when the waters are beautiful and shine from the sun rays of light.
Barnacle's doesn't like to admit his feelings when his best friend kwazii teases him who he's in love with.
When alone together, shellington will say a few seductive lines. Which makes barnacle's perk up his ears and turn bright red. Before pro seducing shellington back.
If the captain was being attacked or being taken away, Shellington would try to save him but how weak herm is the Captain would always tell them to get out of here if in the middle of aggressive situations.
Non the less the two deeply love each other very much. And would comfort one if one is feeling troubled.
I have alot more headcanons for these two! But for now that's all I can think of at the moment. I don't have enough time to rethink most of these, cause life is busy and when drawing them I'll definitely be able to come up with some more. I Just LOVE! these two!! They're so CUTE together!! I wish there was more fanart of them! 🥺❤️
But for now these are my headcanons so far!
Free my boi!
Went to take my mother out to a diner and my boi is still suffering 😭
Look! fan children of my octonauts OTP! :O
(as always I forget to post my other arts here)
Meet the pubs! Arctic, Saorise, and Bently!
Arctic(blue scarf) is a polar bear cub, and the oldest of his siblings.
Saorise the middle pub, she's the one who's a hybrid breed, mixed with polar bear and sea otter from her parents.
Bently the youngest the baby of the three(under his brother's paw)
I would really want to get back into these 3 amigos siblings.
I hope u like them 🥺
Whoops! I think I killed the Cap by accident...(Mwahaha) Not my fault I draw a lot sad and bloody shit on my other accounts.
This is another old piece I drew a long time ago. Idk the contacts for this but ig. The captain was ambushed and attacked. And until then his crew went to go find him and they were to late. And his beloved sea otter cried her heart out.
Nothing really connected to a story or anything I was just bored when I drew this.
Forgot to share more of my octonauts otp lore.
Shellington had the captains pubs (basically his children) the two never been happier than ever. But tunip and the vegimals were worried shellington would forget them since, shell basically raised them and now has a litter to care for. But there's always room for them.
