Captain Barnacles - Tumblr Posts

Guess who's back after 15 years of radio silence? This person >:)

I'll be getting to requests soon, so in the mean time have some Incorrect Octonauts Quotes ^^

+ some random headcanons

─────────────────────

Tweak: Motorcycle is bike on steroids

•─────✧─────•

Yes, I say and do a lot of dumb things, and I still have more things I can use to write-

I'm trying to get into writing more characters, mainly those who aren't on the Octopod all the time. I only have access to Octonauts through YouTube so it's a bit difficult lol

Hope you all have a good day/night ^^ ♡

hi!! could you do octonauts comforting headcannons? like you had a bad day or just feeling sad, how they would react. thank you!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

YESS!!!! It's been so long since I've written something in this format, let's go >:)

I also added some other characters ^^

•─────♡─────•

Captain Barnacles

- Instant Dad Mode (said as if he's not in Dad Mode 99% of the time-)

- Doesn't always know what to do, but he tires his best

- Would ask what was wrong or if anything happened

- He honestly (almost) takes the most time out of anyone here to make sure you're ok [not that the others don't take time], this man is thorough

- He gives great bone crushing hugs, the type of hugs you'd never forget (in a good way)

- Gives the Dad Pep Talk (TM) to you (the good one, not the "What's 6 × 3" angry pep talk)

─────────────────────

Kwazii

- Doesn't really know how to approach at first

- Ends up going in calm before going more energetic

- Always asks if your up to do anything to distract you from whatever may have happened

- Would 100% tell you stories about Calico Jack or some things they've done before joining the Octonauts

- Wraps their tail around your arm/hand/wrist in comfort (if you're ok with that)

- You have a high chance of getting softly tackles and purred on by Kwazii. As well as getting biscuits made on you

─────────────────────

Peso

- I'm 90% sure he's the oldest (if not one of the middle-older) of like, 50- most are cousins but they are basically siblings in a Spanish family (- from a Spanish person)

- The first time he's a little nervous, but after that they find things that will work for you ^^

- Would build a pillow fort, no questions asked. They are the 2nd best in the Octopod when it comes to pillow forts

- Probably pulls out a sticker sheet and gives you some, ESPECIALLY if they have puns

- Movie night, you guys just vibe in a pillow fort watching some good movies with some snacks. Maybe the Vegimals will join you guys

─────────────────────

Dashi

- No hesitation, grabs your hand (or asks you to follow her if you don't like touch) and plans something fun to do

- One of the first questions out if their mouth is if you want/need to vent

- Hypes you up no matter what. Got in an argument? Get it, you stood firm and held your ground. Someone left you? You're going to get better, you're doing amazing now.

- She'll show you her photo album/vidoes, especially photos of funny moments she managed to capture

- They'd 100% pull out a box of horror movies that are so bad they are funny, and spend the night watching them with you

─────────────────────

Tweak

- It takes a bit for Tweak to fully notice, but when they do, it's game over

- Pillow Fort. You can't tell me that they aren't the best at making pillow forts

- Yes, they are working on something while you're talking (if you are OK with talking) but she is paying attention and holding on to every detail while planning on what to say

- After a while (especially if it's late) they will have their video game console ready to go with another controller ready for use (if you want to play)

- Probably plays some more chill and calming games, like Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, or Uno

- That or more high energy games, like Splatoon, Bioshock, or Overwatch (those games do a good job at taking your mind off of things)

─────────────────────

Shellington

- Gestures for you to give them your hand

- Guess what? You now own a very cool looking piece of coral

- After that they lead you to their lab and starts setting up a little blanket fort (different from a pillow fort)/nest for you guys to vibe in

- The Vegimals join after a little while and will just lay on you guys

- Shellington would read to you, no questions asked

- That, or set up a projector they have and watch some movies (probably Disney or Pixar, maybe a history movie or two)

─────────────────────

Professor Inkling

- Looks at you for a bit to get a good read on you, similar to Shellington

- After a while he'll approach you and ask for you to follow him to the Library

- There, there's already tea and other things ready for you guys

- Doesn't pressure you to talk to him about anything, just grabs a book and starts reading (out loud if you ask)

- Give some of the BEST advice. He's pretty old, and is seen as a grandfather by anyone he works with. This dude has wisdom and knows how to give it to you in a nice manner

─────────────────────

Vegimals

- Will either bake something for you, or get you to help them bake for others (and yourself, depends on what you like)

- You get to see the chaos unfold around you as flour rains down around you

- That, or they will take you to the Garden Pod to do some gardening with them (this normally ties in with baking/cooking tho, they need to get ingredients)

- I headcanon that they can purr, and they pur LOUD

- One would just climb on your back and start purring (probably Salepeño, Barrot, or Codish)

─────────────────────

Tracker

- Gives you their jacket, and no, they won't take no for am answer here

- Also makes you some hot coco/coffee/tea

- Lets you talk when you want to, it's your choice

- Likes to show you cool things they found to take your mind off of things

- At some point they'll break the (likely) silence with a flurry of encouragement and affection, "You're doing amazing", "I know things are rough, but you'll be able to pull through", "You should be proud of yourself, you're doing well" and other other things

─────────────────────

Professor Natquik

- He knows. That's it. He knows

- Doesn't even question it that much, he kinda just... takes you???

- Think about the thing cat's do with their kittens, that

- Makes you a nice drink, sits you down, and just talks with you. You don't have to respond if you don't want to, he'll gladly ramble on about his work and support for you

- Tells some really funny stories (such as how he met Barnacles by hitting him in the face with a snowball) [headcanon]

- You'll probably end up falling asleep by mistake, but he's happy. Brings out a fluffy blanket and drapes it over you. Get some rest, you deserve it ^^

─────────────────────

Bianca

- Orson and Ursa are already on you asking questions, but they only want to cheer you up and help you feel better

- Bianca probably sends them off to play for a bit while she stays with you

- Instant hug (if you're ok with it), just as strong as Barnacles

- She gives amazing advice, and is always willing to help (and throw hands, just in case)

- Ursa and Orson come back after a while with little snow bunnies they made

─────────────────────

Ranger Marsh

- Would ask what was wrong but walk away before you could answer

- Then he'd have a baby alligator in his arms and just hand it to you/put it on your lap

- Congratulations, you now have a therapy alligator

- He would also hand you a packet of crackers and some water. Don't think when you're dehydrated/hungry, there's a fair chance that your brain and body is being pissy. He's a walking Snickers ad in a way

- Also does the (good) Dad Pep Talk (TM) at the end

─────────────────────

Calico Jack

- How they respond depends on where you are, so for this I'll just say your guys are in the Amazon-

- Congratulations, you are now in a Capybara cuddle pile with Calico Jack laughing (but in a nice way, like "aww, cuddle pile")

- He does the same thing as Kwazii, wraps their tail around your arm/hand/wrist (if you're ok with it) and does the purr

- Like Grandfather like Grandspawn

- Would 100% make a fake treasure hunt for you to take your mind off of things

─────────────────────

Paani

- I don't know much about Panni, but I feel like he'd offer you a nice rock

- If you guys are outside he'd try to take you to a place with a good view and have a little picnic with you (that they TOTALLY didn't make last minute /s [he made it last minute] )

- Just vibes with you watching the sky and clouds. Also probably looked at the sun by mistakes at least once no I'm not projecting

- Will try to get you to talk about it, but will back off if you don't want to. He's glad to fill the silence with things he's done

•─────♡─────•

BAM DONE-

Sorry for being gone for so long, exams are next week and my brain is ascending into the floor rn lol

Requests are still open ^^

Captain Barnacles used 13 in 1 Shampoo/Conditioner/Bodywash/Toothpaste/Mouthwash/Deodorant/Peanut Butter/Gatorade/Milk/Tin Foil/Tennis Shoes/Dental Floss/Eyedrops.

No, I won't take criticism.

Captain Dashi of the Octoray headcanons?

Ooo, haven't heard of this one yes, this will be fun ^^ /pos

•─────♡─────•

- Has pictures of their old team hanging EVERYWHERE

- As time goes on she'll add photos of her new crew

- I'm 100% sure that the kids/siblings of the Octopod Crew will be with Dashi on the Octoray when they are older (Including Koshi)

- So chaotic if the kids/siblings are there when older, mainly because she (likely) knew them and has embarrassed pictures of them (like Pinto faceplanting into Ice, Periwinkle getting scared by seaweed, etc.)

- She'd also hire some different crew from the kids when they're old enough, maybe have an extra medic with them just in case

- Members of the Octopod will always come to visit, even if retired. Same for the Octoray, they'll just drop by ^^

- Dashi gets sentimental every time they look at the pictures of her old team AND the new team. She'll get to watch them grow up and eventually hand off the Octoray to one of them, maybe even reassign them as a Captain of their own ship

- Everything is technology. EVERYTHING. Even more than on the Octopod. They demand it

- Tweak, Kwazii, and Shellington are the most likely to visit her. Barnacles will go every once and a while to check up on her, he'll bring Peso along too. The Vegimals and Inkling will visit at the same time every year or so depending

- Calls every single day between the Octopod and Octoray, same for game nights

- Some Vegimals will likely go with her

- The crew she hires before the kids comes and goes a lot, only like, 2 or 3 would stay until the end. Dashi is also VERRRRY selective about who they pick to be on her crew. I can see Pearl as one of the ones to come on and stay until retirement

- They have a special photo album that she keeps to herself. It's full of very special memories from the Octopod and Octoray, new and old team. It has their best and favorite memories

- In her eventually retirement, she'd hand the Octoray off to Koshi. Something is telling me Periwinkle would be her 2nd in command. Orson and Ursa would likely get sent to their own Octo-something. Pinto, I have no clue, that kid would be back and forth, freelancing and working on both ships T-T

- Still takes so many pictures, even more than when on the Octopod. They're now in control of where the ship goes, she can find all of the best spots to take pictures and help sea creatures

•─────♡─────

Heeheehoohoo, some light feels and sad depending on what mental state you're in >:)

Oops-

•─────✧─────•

Barnacles: So... why?

Kwazii: Why not?

Barnacles: ...

Barnacles: Because it's dangerous...?

Kwazii: You act as if that has ever stopped me from doing ANYTHING

─────────────────────

Dashi: Smile!

*camera flash*

Dashi: Alright, let's look...

The picture:

Kwazii has red eyes, Shellington, Peso, and Barnacles look ready to collapse, Tweak is somehow blurred, and Professor Inkling is an eldritch horror

maybe some incorrect quotes of barnacles just being a dad?

•─────✦─────•

Barnacles: Don't put that in your mouth.

─────────────────────

Barnacles: There are some things beyond our understanding. We must accept them and learn from them. Because these moments of crisis are also potential moments of faith. A time, when we either come together or fall apart. Nature always has a way of balancing itself. The only question is, what part will we play?

Inkling: Did you just make that up?

Barnacles: No. I read it in a fortune cookie once.

Inkling:

Barnacles: A really long fortune cookie...

─────────────────────

Tired Kwazii: CAPTAIN! This soup is flaccid!

Barnacles: LITERALLY WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS MEAN?!

─────────────────────

─────────────────────

Barnacles: Can I have a private talk with you?

Peso: Okay, as long as it’s not about tampons because I just don’t understand them.

─────────────────────

Barnacles: Tweak just said, "I have an appetite for destruction," and then they reached down and untied my shoe.

Barnacles: And I have no idea what to do about it. She's running around untying shoes.

─────────────────────

Barnacles: Now then, what do you call disobeying the law?

The Squad: A hobby.

Barnacles: *crosses arms*

The Squad: That we do not engage in...

Kwazii, in the back: I do!

─────────────────────

*In a horror movie situation*

Barnacles: I've got no service in my phone here. I'm going to check around for another phone.

Tweak: Shoot, my battery just died.... *pulls out a whole took kit out of nowhere*

Kwazii, kicking a hammer away: Sorry guys, I just broke my phone with a hammer.

Shellington: Guys, my phone is a book.

─────────────────────

Barnacles: Stop setting things on fire because you're curious about what will happen. What will happen is fire.

Turnip, holding a lighter and flan: But what if something else happens just this one time.

─────────────────────

Barnacles: I have a bad feeling about this...

Shellington: What do you mean?

Barnacles: Don't you ever get that little voice in your head that tells you if you're going to get into trouble?

Kwazii: No?

Dashi: That actually explains SO much.

─────────────────────

Barnacles: Remember what I told you.

Tweak: Don’t be a cunt?

Barnacles: N O-

─────────────────────

Dashi: What’s something you guys are better than Barnacles at?

Kwazii: Mario Kart.

Tweak: Yeah, video games.

Peso: Emotional vulnerability.

─────────────────────

Inkling, watching Tweak and Kwazii panic : What's going on?

Barnacles: Tweak is having a midlife crisis, and Kwazii is just having a crisis.

─────────────────────

Barnacles: What can therapy do for me that screaming in my gup for 30 minutes can’t?

•─────✦─────•

Yippee

Guess who's back from the dead

•─────✧─────•

Barnacles: So... explain to me what happened?

Kwazii, hat on fire: No...

─────────────────────

Barnacles: Are you alright?

Peso: Short answer or long answer?

Barnacles, concerned: Short?

Peso: No.

Barnacles, very concerned: Long?

Peso: Nooooooo. Definitely not.

─────────────────────

Shellington: Okay, but what if we went to dinner not as friends this time?

Kwazii: AS ENEMIES?!

Shellington: facepalm

─────────────────────

Professor Inkling, reading a recipe: Beat three eggs?

Kwazii: It means in hand-to-hand combat.

Professor Inkling: Oh... erm...?

Vegimals, all of them: Get out.

─────────────────────

Barnacles: Alright Shellington, Kwazii. Let's go over this one more time.

Barnacles: If something breaks?

Shellington: We try to fix it before Tweak gets home.

Barnacles: And if that doesn't work?

Kwazii: We blame Peso.

Peso: Seriously!?

Barnacles: No.

─────────────────────

Kwazii: This date is boring!

Shellington: This isn't a date. I said I was going to the store.

Kwazii: Then why did you invite me?

Shellington: I didnt, I specifically said "don't come with me," then you said, "fuck you Shellington I'll do whatever I want!

─────────────────────

Professor Inkling: Did you study for the marine biology test?

Kwazii: Of course I did! Listen: fish are remarkably well adapted to water. What’s more, they can swim.

Professor Inkling: sighs with exhaustion only achievable by an elderly man who has dealt with too much can achieve

─────────────────────

Shellington: We should be partners.

Kwazii: You mean like, partners in crime?

Tweak: Vacuum the carpet.

Dashi: Wash the dishes.

Kwazii: Pretend to be a wolverine.

•─────✧─────•

Dances

Here are a few Octonauts headcanons that I have:

- Barnacles keeps Admiral Sweaty Sock (his sock pupet) hidden from the others

- Bianca has a slight Canadian accent while Orson and Ursa have a more British accent

- Orson looks up to Ursa and follows her around everywhere she goes

- while Ursa is adventurous, Orson is more of a stay at home guy

- Orson likes studying rocks and clouds

- Ursa gets impatient quickly

- Bianca calls Barnacles Barney sometimes

- Barnacles often gets pranked by Bianca

- (follow-up) He gets back at her by getting the twins to team up against her in a snowball fight

More Octonauts headcanons

Barnacles is the father figure of the whole crew (except for Dashi and Inkling)

Dashi is the mom of the group

Inkling is the grandfather

Inkling and Barnacles have a father-son relationship

Peso looks up to Barnacles the most

Barnacles is the nice parent that will get you a lot of gifts and often lets you off the hook with just a warning (unless of course you did something really bad)

Dashi will not hesitate to scold you whenever you do something stupid. If she takes it too far, she will apologize by giving you a small gift.

Everyone goes to Inkling whenever they need any sort of advice

Octonauts - A new Generation

Chapter 2

The new kid

Pinto’s pov

The octopod had raised above the sea and was now facing an icy ledge. On top of the edge of the cliff were two white wolves. Pinto scoffed. He had been the first one to be picked up, and had therefore watched all of the now cadets say their goodbyes to their loved ones. None of them were a threat to his mission of becoming the best, and this one doesn’t seem to be any different.

The two wolves walk into the launch bay paw in paw. The older one observes the place with curiosity. “I see that you’ve done some renovations to the Octopod.”, he said. “We certainly have”, Tweak proudly announces with a grin. The older wolf looks down at the younger one. He lets go of her paw and bends down to whisper something in her ear. Her ears flutter in shock, before settling down in the direction of the older wolf. She listens attentively. The rest of the crew awkwardly watches the duo, not knowing what to do. The older wolf gets back up and clears his throat. “Everyone, it is a pleasure to introduce to you my one and only niece; Stella”, he says, making huge hand gestures towards the little wolf. She stares at him with a sense of embarrassment and annoyance. He lets out a nervous giggle before walking towards captain Barnacles. “May I speak with you in private?”, he asks, his voice turning into a faint whisper barely heard by the little penguin. “Of course”, the captain replied with the same understanding smile on his face that Pinto had seen so many times before.

Pinto throws a judging look towards Stella. She doesn’t seem like much of a threat, but Pinto knows better than to underestimate anyone. Upon a closer look, he notices a scar, barely noticeable at first glance, due to being covered by her long hair. Taken aback by this discovery, Pinto lets out a small gasp. Stella’s ears twitch once again, followed by her eyes shooting towards Pinto’s direction. Wow, Pinto thought to himself, where did she get that scar from? Pinto absolutely has to find out more. He looks around to see if he can sneak away unnoticed, but notices the young wolf looking his way. He can’t tell what that look in her eyes means, but it made him feel uncomfortable. After what seemed like forever, she shifts her gaze towards Peso, who slowly waddles over to the wolf. Pinto takes this opportunity to carefully sprint away.

“I understand your concern. I assure you that we will take great care of your niece”, captain Barnacles says as Pinto quietly hides behind a few storage boxes. The captain gives the wolf a reassuring look, but the wolf did not seem convinced. “How can I trust that the others will take good care of her? They don’t know her as well as I do. They don’t know how to handle her in different situations. They don’t know the right and the wrong way to comfort her”, the wolf avoids eye contact with the captain and stares off into the distance. What’s with the strong reaction?, Pinto ponders. He quickly sneaks away to join the group before anyone notices that he’s missing.

Peso and Stella aren’t there when Pinto returns. He must be giving her a quick checkup and asking her for her medical report, Pinto thinks to himself. The others are chatting amongst themselves. Pinto slips into a conversation between Koshi and Ursa while occasionally looking around the room, trying to find anything out of the ordinary. The second Stella and Peso return, Pinto walks over with the hope to start a conversation with her.

“Hi Stella. Welcome to the Octonauts. My name is Pinto”, the little penguin stretches out his flipper towards his new comrade. Peso smiles at his brother, happy to see him giving the wolf some company.

“I’ll let the two of you get to know each other”, he says before waddling away, leaving the two kids on their own. Stella watches him for a while before turning her gaze towards Pinto.

“Hi Pinto. It’s a please to meet you”, the pup shakes his flipper in greeting.

“That penguin is my brother Peso. Isn’t he the coolest?”, Pinto couldn’t hide his excitement of being related to the medic. “Yeah, he is cool”, Stella replied calmly, “Must be nice to have a relative onboard.

Pinto watches as her eye wanders off. He looks at her for a while, before realizing that everyone of the kids has a relative with them on the ship, except for the wolf.

“Does it bother you?”, he asks. The look she gives him puzzles him. It almost seems like she’s judging him. I wonder what she’s thinking about.

“No, not really”, she finally answers.

“Really? You must be very brave and adventurous then”, Pinto puts a flipper to his chin, deep in thought.

“Not really”, Stella seems to be getting uncomfortable. At this realization, Pinto starts to panic.

“Did I say something wrong? You seem to be getting uncomfortable.” “No no, it’s fine. You’re fine. I just…I’m not…it’s not your fault”, the pup seems to be getting even more uncomfortable.

Pinto thinks for a while, before coming to the conclusion that the wolf just isn’t used to talking to anyone other than her uncle. Either way, Pinto is determined to become Stella’s friend.

“Listen, if you feel uncomfortable, then that’s okay. Take your time if you need too. If you ever need to talk, I’m always here for you”, Pinto said as gently as he could. “Thanks”, is all the wolf could say. She’s avoiding eye contact with the penguin.

Pinto stays near the wolf a little bit longer, before deciding to join Squirt and Orson. During their conversation, he notices how Stella seemed to take a deep breath before walking towards the lonesome Periwinkle. Pinto had tried talking to him before, but he was as shy and awkward as Stella. Now the sea otter and the wolf are both trying their best to have a conversation with each other.

Octonauts - A new Generation

Chapter 3

Stella’s temporary guardian

Tweak’s pov

All of the little ones have settled down in their room now. The Octonauts had spent the rest of the morning giving them a tour of the Octopod. Tweak proudly showed them all the new upgrades and extra rooms that have been added. Now the kids are unpacking their bags in the rooms she had added for the junior Octo-agents while they’re in training. Now she’s standing in the HQ with the Octonauts, discussing how the rest of the day should go. Peso was going on and on about important medical conditions of some of the kids, making sure Tunip pays close attention to all of the food allergies he’s mentioning. Tweak takes a peak out of the window into the wide, open ocean. The rest of the crew all have close relationships with at least one of the kids. Even Kwazii, who isn’t related to any of them, has formed a close relationship with Pinto. Tweak is the only one that doesn’t. Knowing that, she misses her home and her father even more.

“…Shellington with Periwinkle, Tweak with Stella and Kwazii and I will be with the twins. Understood?”, the captain’s naturally loud voice cuts through Tweak’s thoughts when her name is said. Everyone each says their form of agreement before going wherever it is they’re going. Not really knowing what to do, Tweak decides to go find Stella.

Arriving in the girls’ room, Tweak finds Dashi already helping out Koshi. “Do you need any help Stella?”, she asks. The fox lifts her head and looks her straight into her eyes. After a moment of her staring at Tweak, she finally replies: “Kind of. I need help re-folding my clothes.” Tweak walks over to her, kneels down and begins folding her clothes and putting them in her assigned wardrobe, a great silence upon the two of them. From the left side, Dashi and Koshi can be heard talking about mystery books. From the right side, Ursa can be heard telling the captain about everything she’s been up to in the North Pole. I should probably try and start a conversation with her. I’ll be her temporary guardian for a while after all.

“So what do ya like to do in your free time?”, the bunny asks. “Reading, writing, studying, helping my uncle with his work, watching the fresh snow fall, watching the sun set…”, Stella starts rambling on about the beautiful sights in the arctic. Wow, she seems really passionate about her home, Tweak thinks to herself. She can’t really blame her. There is no other place quite like home. After some small chat, Tweak starts noticing how Stella shoots a few glances at her every now and then. “Is there somethin’ wrong?”, she asks, “You have been givin’ me weird looks for a while now.” “I-It’s nothing. I’m sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable. It’s just that…I have never seen a green rabbit before”, Stella tries to explain. It takes a while for Tweak to process what the fox just said. No one else has ever questioned her strange colour before. Maybe they just didn’t want to be rude. This fox one the other hand, can’t hide her curiosity. Tweak grins at that thought. “Yeah, it’s an unusual colour indeed”, she says with a smile. She looks over to Stella, who seems to be shocked by her answer. This just made Tweak smile wider. She put away the last piece of clothing before getting up and ruffling the pup’s hair. Stella shrieks in response. Tweak is starting to like this pup already.

With Tweak’s suggestion in mind, the two girls make their way to the game pod. Only to find Kwazii and Orson already there, playing ping pong. “Maybe we could do something else”, Stella suggests, “We should get to know each other more anyway.” “Good idea”, Tweak says, trying to think of where they should go. Maybe I should take her to the launch bay. I could show her how to play my video games and then we could talk while playing, Tweak thinks to herself. Leading the way, Tweak shows Stella where her room is. “How come all the others get a proper room, while you have this open space in the launch bay?”, is naturally Stella’s first question. “Don’t get your ears in a twist. I want my room to be here. Wouldn’t have it any other way”, with that, Tweak takes a bite into a carrot that she pulled out of nowhere. The pup tilts her head in confusion as she lets Tweak’s words sink in. “Okay…”, she finally answers, her voice portraying confusion and concern. “C’mon, let me show ya how to play”, she said, making hand gestures towards her gaming console.

An hour of more small talk, gaming and solving riddles later, Tunip comes in to let the two know that lunch is ready. Tweak gets up from the bed, looking back to see if Stella’s following her. Instead, she sees the girl’s head tilting once again, as she observes Tunip. “Did I say something wrong?”, Tunip chirps confused. That’s when Tweak realized that, other than the Octonauts, no one else knew much about the Vegimals. Looking at the curiosity portrayed on Stella's face, Tweak starts laughing. “This here is Tunip. He’s what Shellington calls a Vegimal. He and his crew are the ones in charge of cookin’ our meals. He may not necessarily speak out language, but he can still understand us”, Tweak explains. Tunip chirps happily while waving at Stella. Stella returns the gesture. “C’mon, let’s go see what the Vegimals have cooked for us today”, Tweak says while heading towards an Octo-shoot.

Tweak observed Stella throughout the whole meal. Stella, just like Periwinkle, never spoke unless spoken to. They both gave awkward and shy vibes. It’s obvious to everyone that they aren’t the best at socializing. Tweak has learned quite a lot about Stella and has gotten quite fond of her. She now worries that Stella won’t be able to make friends her age at this rate.

After dessert, the kids are told to get to know each other more. Orson, Ursa, Squirt, Koshi and Pinto enthusiastically go down an Octo-shoot, leaving Periwinkle and Stella behind. “Go on Peri, it’ll do you good to make friends your age”, Shellington said, trying to motivate the young sea otter. Tweak opens her mouth in an effort to speak, before getting interrupted by the captain: “You should do the same Stella. It will certainly calm your uncle’s nerves to hear that you have made some friends. That is one of the reasons why your uncle brought you here, isn’t it?” The captain’s voice is much more softer than it usually is. It sounds soothing, calming and reassuring. It’s not often that Tweak has the opportunity to hear his voice like that. Stella sighs and joins Periwinkle on their quest to make new friends. Tweak can only hope that all goes well for them.

Anxious

Peso’s pov

Missing humuhumunukunukuapua'a part 1

Peso could feel himself getting warmer, despite having his cold suit on, at the thought of having to teach this group of excited little children how to do his job. As the medic, he’s the first one to have to teach the kids. All he has to do is teach them basic first aid, so why is he so nervous?

“Are you alright Peso?”, Kwazii asks. He had volunteered to help Peso if he were to suddenly blackout. Which is most likely to happen.

“Y-Yeah”, Peso answers. Although it’s pretty obvious that he’s lying.

“Remember when you had to teach our crew the same thing?”, Kwazii asks, “Back then, you were absolutely terrified of me.”

Kwazii laughs as Peso starts blushing. How could he possibly forget the events of that day? He is still deeply ashamed of how his fear caused him not to teach Kwazii properly, which could have lead to some serious problems. He had promised himself never to act that way again. With that, Peso realizes why Kwazii brought up that event.

“Thank you”, the penguins says.

“Anytime me hearty”, the pirate replies.

Peso takes a deep breath before entering the recently added classroom.

All of the kids stop talking and turn their gaze towards Peso. He gulps. Despite Kwazii’s previous efforts, he once again finds himself being nervous. Kwazii gently nudges him further into the classroom.

“Hello mateys, welcome to your first medical class”, Kwazii greets the students on Peso’s behalf, before whispering: “Ready whenever you are me hearty.”

Peso takes a few deep breaths before starting his presentation. In a brief moment of determination and passion, he finds himself on autopilot. He only comes back to himself once it’s time for the practical work. The students are working in groups of two, rapping a bandage on their partners arm. Kwazii is helping Squirt figure out how to bandage Pinto’s flipper, Stella and Koshi are doing just fine, but Ursa keeps on scolding her brother for making it too tight or not tight enough. Peso gulps. He knows better than to interrupt a fight amongs siblings. He had learned that the hard way. He looks over to Kwazii, hoping that he’s done with Squirt, only to be left disappointed. With no other option left, Peso takes a few deep breaths before waddling over to the twins.

“Hello Orson, hello Ursa, what seems to be the problem?”, Peso asks cautiously.

“Orson isn’t doing it properly! He keeps on messing it up!”, Ursa yells.

“I’m sorry”, Orson squeaks.

Peso felt bad for the young male cub. “Ursa, why don’t you go join a different group while I help your brother”, he asks. Orson’s face immediately lights up.

“Hmm…okay”, Ursa replies, before walking off towards Stella and Koshi.

Hopefully she’ll get along well with the girls, Peso thinks to himself before turning to face Orson.

“So, what exactly are you struggling with Orson?”, the penguin asks.

“I just can’t seem to figure out how tight to make the bandage”, Orson whines.

“Hmm…”, Peso hums, deep in thought, “Maybe you just need more time to learn how to do it properly. I’ll help you.”

Orson’s eyes widened. There was a hint of fear and gratitude in them. “Is something wrong?”, Peso asks.

“N-Not at all!”, Orson replies in a panick.

Peso looks the cub deep in the eyes for a while. “Are you sure?”, he ask. “Yep!”, the cub replies. “Alright. Let’s get started then”, Peso waddles to the front of the class to get some extra supplies.

The Octo-alert when off. One of the humuhumunukunukuapua'a has gone missing. The trio (Barnacles, Kwazii & Peso) are currently searching for it. His name is Humpert. He was last seen with his pod as they were being chased by some other type of fish. After hours of searching, with no success in finding him, they decide to call it a day and continue the search in the morning. Missions like this, missions where the fate of a creature stays unknown for an uncomfortable period of time, those are the kind of missions that Peso hates. He just wants everyone to be safe. He doesn’t want anyone to be hurt. Or suffer through something worse, something that Peso does not allow himself to think about. He can’t deal with that again. He just can’t. It would tear him apart. It would break him. It would destroy him.

Peso sighs as he walks through the empty hallway. The memories, they just keep on coming back. While fighting off the tears, Peso decides to check on his baby brother. Pinto, along with Orson, Squirt and Periwinkle, is fast asleep. He is safe and he is still here. Peso leaves the room as his tears win the battle and slowly start flowing down his face, while picking up the pace with every tear that falls. He stands in the empty hallways a little longer, deciding to let the tears flow, rather than bottling up his emotions. As he closed his eyes and let himself get consumed by the empty void surrounding him, he suddenly hears soft, quiet sobbing coming from the girls’ room. After a moment of hesitation, he whipes off his tears and goes inside of the room.

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.
