The Future of Stag López ! Octonauts OC ====================
Click for higher quality !!! Reblogs appreciated !!!
Hehehe HE HAS MORE LORE >:3 !!!!! He's soooo spoiled for it but idc because hes my BABY!!! Just for you mick!!! ;3 <3
I've stated on several occasions that Stag is technically immortal because as long as he continues to take on a new husk each time the previous has been spent (he keeps the body in tact despise it decomposing on the inside just by living in it), so obviously after the one he's currently using is up, he'll have to move on or literally be a helpless, unprotected little black sentient blob of goop. So, after some time, he does, but of course, it takes him far longer to finally "move on." Being in the body he currently is in now is special to him because it was the version of him that Helen loved. She knew he wasn't really a buck, but still, she adored the form he took on for her, and Stag is deeply attached to it because of her. When it dies, it feels like what she loved will die along with it, and with that, what little remains of her that he has left. Of course, he'll never forget her, the first woman he ever truly loved, but the decision, even if necessary, will be painful to him. He'll fight and cling and claw desperately at all he has left of her until it falls apart in his arms and longer still he'll huddle by her grave until the grass overtakes it and the worms steal her remains.
But still, eventually, he'll move on. Years later, an entire generation gone by, one entire, painful, lonely reincarnation missed in the cycle, he'll spend a long time learning how to be a real 'human' for the next lover down the line. By the time he meets Harriet, the "next Helen," he's much better at being a man. (I also joked once when making her character that how they first met was by running into one another in a small little country town and when they locked eyes they ran to embrace and kiss (because of having gone an entire reincarnation cycle apart) and my friend liked it sm i decided to make it canon X3 hehe)
He's still a goofball and horrible at pretending (books and People Watching are never as good as hands-on experience), but Harriet loves him all the same. He's grown a lot to be the perfect man for her! He even has a job now (and can TALK!! :D It's painful and difficult due to the transferring process between husks damaging the throat, and he prefers using ASL that he's learning, but he can talk now and he has a voice claim (in the art) to match!! ^w^)
Harriet is his new wife and very similar to Helen in her loud, country, no-nonsense attitude, but much more social and aggressive than her prior self. She's a sweetheart for sure but definitely lets her temper get to her, and Stag loves to watch her beat people up when they have their date nights at the local bar 🥰 she's also a park ranger! And technically Stag's boss but he doesn't mind (he highkey loves being bossed around) . . . Her character is still being developed so more on her another time ^v^
In the image below is two of his friends and fellow employees!! Jeremy McCoy and Wolfgang Jäger, a coyote and timber wolf respectively, and his much younger colleagues. Wolfgang idolizes Stag greatly, young and naive and very silly, and all the more oblivious to all the weird goings-on that Jerry, conversely, has seen all of. Jerry is TERRIFIED of Stag and Stag LOVES to torment him (he'd never actually hurt him, however, just scared him for the love of the game <3 he'll always be mischievous) (and no, Wolfgang doesn't believe Jerry when he insists Stag isn't normal tehehe)
More on this stage in his life another time, its still under development, but deeply beloved by me and hopefully the two other people who are as insane about Stag as I am 😭🫶 it is SO SO SO SO SO appreciated and makes me so so super duper happy when you guys like my stupid little dude and his friends !!!! 🥺🤎🤎🤎
