⁠✿ + °* ｡⁠ · INTRODUCTORY POST ! · ｡⁠*° + ⁠✿

♡ · hi octonauts tumblr !!! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠) you can call me Mickey or Buttercup ! you may use the two names interchangeably . (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧

⁠✿ · STUFF ABOUT ME ! :

☆ · i also like to go by the names of characters that i kin if you fw that :3 (names would be bumblebee/bee or paani !!!)

☆ · my pronouns are He/Him and please please, nothing else (⁠^⁠～⁠^⁠;⁠)⁠ゞ it can make me pretty uncomfortable .

☆ · i go by the username @mickrabbit_ on anything if you can find me, but a lot of my accounts may be inactive / aren't particularly focused on octonauts — i also have an extra account on tiktok called @paanziipilled_ for this purpose ! (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

☆ · please keep in mind that while i don't explicitly enjoy expressing my age unless i need to — i am a MINOR !!! so i politely request that you treat me appropriately please, that means no NSFW imagery or jokes made towards me or things i have created ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ .

☆ · i'm also a Filipino artist/2D animator !!! i particularly like making comics and also enjoy voiceover work ! i also occasionally write but i personally think i suck at that (⁠;⁠;⁠;⁠・⁠_⁠・⁠)

☆ · i also ask that you please be patient with me as i struggle with (unmedicated) ADHD, which can make me very forgetful, seem distant, or even intense sometimes •́⁠ ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠,⁠•̀ so, replies to dms or asks/art requests may be slow. i also tend to talk a lot if you couldn't tell, i'm sorry if i come off as overwhelming or miss social cues occasionally. ;u; i don't mean to !!!! <//3

✿ × DO NOT INTERACT :

basic dni list really :p — transphobes/homophobes, racists, sexists, xenophobes, ableists, pedophiles, zoophiles and pro/darkships. might add more later if i need to but i think its pretty obvious this is not a space for people who support or believe in things that are generally offensive / harmful. — stay away from me and ill stay away from you. ok?

☆ · if i've blocked you and you don't fit this criteria, that is likely for my own comfort and preference as this is not only meant to be a safe space for others, but for myself, too!

✿ · MY ASK BOX RULES :

☆ · so i'm pretty chill about the asks i recieve GIGGLE but just to avoid anyone asking again:

☆ · KNOCK YOURSELF OUT : art requests! this means octonauts, ocs, oc x canon, canon x canon, as long as it's nothing inappropriate ! but also, please feel free to ask me stuff about me or just say hi 🥹 im really friendly , i promise !!! ♡

☆ · PLEASE DON'T SEND THIS TO ME : i feel like this should go without saying, but please don't send me NSFW, excessive gore, or spam !

and finally...

✿ · MY TAGS :

if you ever wanna go snooping around my blog, here are the tags i've made for my posts to keep myself organised ! c:

☆ · art tag ! : mickey's octo art

☆ · animation tag ! : mickey's octo anims

good news though! as of right now i've gotten and accepted my offer for college, and i CANNOT wait to begin!!! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠) in my spare time i've also been working a lot on my artstyle and designs; nothing too different, but i'm excited to share with everyone once i'm officially back :3

some of you will ,, probably be happy to know i've been doing well too , in regards to my mental health and the like. it takes work but things do get better, and even if it gets rocky we go with the flow (⁠っ⁠.⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)⁠っ

anyway, i just wanted to say hi, make sure everyone knew i wasnt dead, and see how everyone was doing ^-^ i hope youre all is doing okay, and I MISS YOUUUAALLL SO MUUUCHSHFBSJ ☹️☹️☹️ i promise i'll be back to catch up with everything soon !!! i really appreciate that ive still been getting tagged in all your beautiful art despite my absence uehurure <:')

oh, and happy pride month to you all. 🩵

i love u bye

[mickrabbit]

kind of blunt lonely hydrologist angst(?) (my apolocheese)

(if you couldn't tell by the lack of his octo-watch, this is pre-octo-agency)

i didn't think i'd be posting AGAIN so soon but idk , i was in the mood to draw freely and sad paani was speaking to me for some reason

it's intentionally vague because i would prefer to keep my rambling about what i headcanon about paani's past / lore for another post ;;; but for now lets just say that paani , with his big fat heart , misses his family — even though they may not miss him ;( (he can't really be sure, but with the way things ended he highly doubts it)

if it helps i actually took my plush paani out today and he had lots of fun! i showed him da worl d....

Octonauts OC Doodle Dump !!! Volkov, Noah, and Jean-Luc !!! ♡♡♡ ====================

Click for higher quality !!! Reblogs appreciated !!!

GRRRAAAAAAA MY SHAYYYLAAASSS!!!!!! AAAUUGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

They have some now lore now!!! :D

Noah's parents are now fellow service dogs! His father is a pediatrician (his looks do not match his career) and his mother (not shown here) is a police officer :3

I don't think I've shared this yet, but due to his mother's exposure to radiation when a teenager herself, Volkov's legs were deformed in the womb and now his muscles aren't strong enough to hold him up without aid for very long. But he doesn't let that stop him and will chase you down to best you with his crutches for being stupid <3

Based off the former bullet point, Volkov has Contamination OCD (not severe but strong) and gets extremely terrified that he is a carrier of all sorts of radiation-based diseases and will infect the people around him 😔 but its okay because Noah always helps him feel much much better <3

Jean-Luc is now OBSESSED with aliens, like crazy-obsessed about it X3 ,,, he was raised by his mama and she was just as big as an alien lover as her son <3 they watched all the Star Trek media they could get their hands on, traveled to all the alien hot-spots they could go to, and collected all sorts of memorabilia and artifacts together :3 and even tho she's old and can't get around very well now, they can still spend all day chatting about it <3

And basically everyone's got new hairdo's now, lol . . . Just longer hair because goddd is love long hair sm

Circus Au Idea

There once was a kitten, who was the littlest kitten in the whole circus.

All the circus cats became bouncing jesters or graceful acrobats...

but this kitten had a dream...

To become...

A daredevil.

SO

I havent developed the au thaaaat much, BUT HEAR ME OUT!!!

The entire au, drawn all cutesy like this- there are cryptids! Horror crypids...

Its set sometime in the mid 1900s, imma be real they probably gotta deal with specism (animal species racism based on old society role systems)

BUT ALSO THEYRE FOUND FAMILY ANS THEYRE SILLY AND CUTE AND THEYRE ALL STUPID AND DARLING.

Other chatacters than just the octonaust would be there cuz a circus needs quite a bit of people lol, so octo agents like Paani would be there 🥺 they take in allll the strayyyyssss

Barnacles wouls be a strong man (who really wants to be theatrical and also sing),

Shelllington would make practical effects like colorful smoke bombs and etc cuz hes a chemist in canon lol,

Tweak would work on technical things and Kwazii would beg to be shot as an anthren canonball,

Peso would still be a medic cuz circuses still need medics 🥺

The vegimals could be a tiny little choir!!!

Dashi would probably do aerial stunts using trampolines and all do many kinds of tricks i think 🥺 Kwazii wants to join her soooo bad

But also consider????

Circus pirates????? Circus troupe that saves cryptids???

Much to consider

ALSO BRO2N IS THERE CUZ HE AGREED

IDK WHAT HED DO BUT HES THERE CUZ I SAID SO.

Ringmaster inkling perhaps???? Not sure, ik its lik3 " oh Barnacles should be the ringmaster" and he will be but thats LATER in his charavter devlopment

Anyways most of em are working there with one or two family members 🥺

found family yayyy!!!

Unfinished Kwazii out of the costume ><

PUMCHING HOLES IN MY WALLS AS WE SPEAK

[thatoctogirl]

Hc trade(?) I'll say mine :3

1. CB LOVES Hamilton, and Often listens to it while working out.

2. Kwazii is VERY Dramatic when is his crew or one of his treasures are missing.

3. Kwazii can talk very fast, and Often needs to slow down when talking to people who can't make out wtf he's saying.

4. Peso’s terrified of Sharks because his Dad was eaten by one. (Yes, Sharks can eat Penguins.)

5. When Peso first joined the Octonauts, He spoke Spanish (he didn't know English that well) and everyone was confused as to what he was saying. Luckily, Inkling had a book in the library so Peso can speak English. (and Barnacles and Kwazii can speak slight Spanish too.)

That's all lol :3

•Shellington carries an EpiPen in case of emergencies in his fur pockets which are located right under sea otters' armpits. Peso gave it to him after he found out about his allergy

•Kwazii likes to practice his sword fighting skills while listening to "Who Is Your Favorite Hero?" (Special thanks to @mickrabbit for this inspo)

•Kwazii and Tweak like to have videogame nights with each other in Tweak's room. What can I say? Its their love language~

•Paani knows parkour and has mastered all sorts of martial arts/fighting techniques. When he found out Kwazii knows cat-fu (see The Octonauts Explore The Great Big Ocean Book) he challenged him to a fight and now they do it all the time for fun. Sometimes they will do it out of arguing and the captain would have to step in before they destroy anything.

•Every six months Peso gives everyone on the Octopod a checkup. Anyone would speaks others wise is not allowed by Peso to go back to work (*Cough cough* Barnacles and Shellington *Cough cough*)

• Barnacles is touch-starved but he wont admit it trust me-

•Peso is a cuddle bug and Barnacles knows this so when he can't sleep or whenever he needs to Barnacles will cradle him in his arms like a baby or have him lie on top of his chest listening to his heartbeat and fall asleep like that

•Dashi has a mini collection of hairclips and even has a pink hairbrush with the Octonauts logo on the back (I actually painted one like this)

(Accent: switches between bad imitations of different accents)

Theyre probably a teeny tiny bit insane but only a little! Sure they act bizarrely and like they can talk to spirits and do strange things like randomly lick rocks-

But their methods work! They like helping! Theyre good at tinkering and fixing things! And staring at people! Very closely!And theyre going to be there whether you like it or not so... yayyyy!

Part of the sandpaws family....

Doesnt seem to understand that theyre weaeing a mask and will deny wearing a mask even if they can see their own reflection. Typically roams around the sahara but has been spotted in different continents.

Hides that theyre a forerunner as well.

Its possible that theyve had run ins with the supernatural, at least due to a few of their rare nonsensical ramblings.

Something is scrambled in there...

They also like Tweak alot and will make excuses to see Tweak.

DEAD WIFE COREEE/ You Promised

AKA, oil rig spoiler lol, dw hes not actually dead but Barnacles sure thinks he is!

!! TRUE VERSION WITH BLOOD UNDER THE CUT !!

Even the howling wind can't drown out the thudding of his heart against his chest.

Kwazii was never still or quiet, even when he slept. But now? Now he smelled like blood and death, limp in his arms.

He doesn't know how long he stood there, just that the familiar call of the octoalert, muffled by the wind, was the only thing that managed to pull him out of his shock. Even then- Even then, the others struggled to take Kwazii out of his arms so Peso could try- and try so hard- to save him.

It's sickeningly nostalgic. The pressure in his head sounded just like an arctic storm at its very worst.

Barnacles doesnt remember all the details from the day after he found Kwazii, lying limp in a pool of his own blood.

He had chased and chased and barreled through every obstacle following the scent of His Blood. But it was too late. It wasn't enough. He wasn't enough. He had let this happen and now Kwazii's freezing little body, not shivering, not even his stupid little whiskers- Was in his paws.

Kwazii was so still.

Mission failure.

His fault.

Those last three thoughts were what was viciously cycling through Barnacles mind as he sat numb in the hallway of the octopod, vegimals at his side. Right up until the slide of the med bays doors opened at long last. This is why he refused to sleep despite being up for nearly two days straight.

Kwazii had promised he'd be fine. That they'd meet up soon and be on their way back to the Octopod.

"Pirate's promise!"

He needs to be okay.

He has to be.

Please-

Please.

It's so much blood, you'd have to wonder... is all of it really his?

Bonus:

The original drawing i made around a year ago because it lives in my head FREE OF CHARGE 💥💥💥

I kind like how the og one was more dramatic even if it was anatomically incorrect lol
