Octonauts Royal AU (i have no idea how monarchy works cause our country is a democratic one so i'm relying heavily on royalty portrayed in media and research)
Captain Barnacles is the King so he's technically renamed as King Barnacles with his sister, Princess Bianca and her children, Princess Ursa and Prince Orson
Dashi is Barnacles' Royal Advisor and one that he usually asks for any updates in their kingdom and the first to face guests when they visit. She's often called 'Lady Dashi'
Peso is the head of the medical household and is the king's good friend. A lot of his siblings like to visit the castle. He has the title of "Doctor" but he would rather be called by his actual name.
Professor Inkling is the royal diplomat and is in charge of foreseeing the education system in their kingdom
Shellington is the assistant diplomant, often inside the library with Professor Inkling. Students and scholars often call him "Dr. Shellington."
Kwazii is the general of the royal guard and does not disclose any information about his past. He has the title of "General." The king was kind enough to trust him after he bravely saved creatures during a tsunami. He used his grandfather's boat to save critters who were washed away.
A lot of pirates are considered enemies by the villagers in the kingdom but when Kwazii came around, their viewpoint changed. Of course, there are still pirates who don't abide to the law but Kwazii wants to change that.
Tweak is the court engineer and leads the royal association of innovators. She lives outside the palace with her father, Sir Marsh. Most of the villagers call her "Ms. Tweak."
Tunip and his siblings are the chamberlains and chefs in charge of managing the household
Extra info:
Other kingdoms exist outside theirs and the members of the palace are actually considered the Royal rescue team (aka Octonauts). The name Octonauts was suggested by Professor Inkling as a metaphor that like an octopus' tentacles, their help reaches out to many places
They don't have good technology yet so their communication relied through dove and parrot messengers
A bit of plot that's related with above and beyond (and kinda like the main story that made me come up with this au)
Reports of the lake waters decreasing because of some fellow taking barrels filled with water at night. When Barnacles gets this report, Kwazii volunteers to spy in the woods to capture the thief in which Barnacles agrees and reminds him to not hesitate to call for help when he needs it. The dove messengers will be on the lookout on the trees as well.
At night Kwazii stands guard, and hides behind the bushes and when he finally spots a silhouette sneaking between the trees to the lake, Kwazii jumps with his sword out, making the cloaked figure run away.
But since Kwazii is a cat and cats have good night vision, he chases the cloaked figure through the woods and sees how the other perfectly jumps branch to branch (even somersaults to the grass) and mutters "Yeow, they've got some acrobatic skills."
He almost loses the figure until they stop when they spot a baby squirrel falling down from a tall branch. Kwazii is about to catch it when the mystery person nabs it first and brings it back up.
Not only did Kwazii realize that this person had acrobatic skills, but they also had compassion. Anyways, there was no time to think about that when they've got more pressing issues.
So, the cloaked figure continues to run but since Kwazii has his cat-like speed, he sprints and tackles the cloaked figure to the ground. He places a foot onto the other's chest and points his broadsword to stop the person from escaping.
"You're not going anywhere, you scurvy thief." Then as he tries to make up what the face looks like, the clouds reveal the moon and lightens the whole forest. That's when Kwazii realizes that the perpetrator is a macaque. They don't have a lot of macaques in the village. Maybe not even one. So, this macaque is probably an outsider.
"I didn't steal anything! The name's Paani and—"
"You keep taking the water from the lake inside our kingdom. Sounds a lot like stealing to me." Then, Kwazii points the broadsword closer.
"That sword... are you perhaps a pirate?"
"Now, how'd you know that?"
"Because—" then Paani quick as lighting, he snatches the sword using his prehensile tail and Kwazii lets out a quick 'huh?' Before his leg is grabbed by Paani's free paws and pins him against the ground. "—usually they'd hold their swords on their right paw," Paani innocently stated, throwing the sword from his tail up to his right paw with a glint under the moonlight. "And they have eyepatches."
Kwazii, fully taken aback with the quick movements of the macaque, can only blink at him while trying to squirm his way out of Paani's weight against him. "What does that have to do with anything?!"
Paani, who shifts his weight onto the foot currently resting above Kwazii's chest, ignores his question. "I was just bringing the water to some thirsty animals outside the kingdom. The rising temperatures are not good for the critters, you know?"
"Then why didn't you say so in the first place?!" Then he coughs, asking for Paani to get his foot away from him cause it's a very uncomfortable position to talk while lying down and having weight pressed against his chest. To which Paani quickly apologizes and returns his sword.
Then Kwazii tells Paani about the mission of the Octonauts and how they want to help every creature in need, may it be outside of the kingdom or not.
So, then Paani agrees to finally ask for help from the palace but before they do, they hear a shriek far from the forest and both of them agree to track down the commotion. When they arrive, they see that a forest fire broke out and is spreading fast. Without warning, Paani takes off his cloak and shoves it to Kwazii "Take this," he says in a hurry and sprints to the fire.
"Wha— that was your plan?!" Realizing that Paani's too far to hear him, he signals for the dove on the lookout and alerts it to quickly tell the king about the forest fire. Code orange.
Kwazii wears the cloak and helps the nearby critters to evacuate and thankfully, Paani gets out of the fire unscathed with small critters in his arms. At that same time, the Octonauts arrive and Peso instantly helps the injured using cloth bandages.
After everything, Kwazii explains that Paani is the one who took the water out of their lake during the past days for the animals outside of their kingdom. Paani then thanks the Octonauts for helping him and his royal highness, King Barnacles, asks him if he wants to join their association and Paani agrees, as long as he can explore beyond the kingdom territory and follow the water where it goes. That's when Paani gets the title of the "Royal Scout," in charge of giving reports about the weather and any abnormalities in the water.
"Welcome to our team, Paani!" Peso exclaims and Dashi agrees. She then notices Kwazii's cloak. "That cloak looks new. Did you have it tailored, general?"
Kwazii realizes he still had the cloak on and tries to remove it. "Oh, this isn't mine. It's Paani's."
"I actually have more of that in my bag. You can keep it, Kwazii."
Unlike Kwazii, whose focus is on the fact that Paani has more cloaks just in store, Dashi and Peso exclaims at the same time "You called the general, 'Kwazii?!'"
Paani is completely baffled. "What? Did I say something wrong?"
Kwazii shakes his head. "Don't mind them, matey. Welcome to the Octonauts!"
(This is not a full fanfic and just an AU so I apologize for the abundance of grammatical errors T_T)
i will never shut up about green and tsc's dynamic. These two bring me so much comfort when i see them together, and they hit every aspect i consider when pairing two characters. i love them so much 😭💚🧡
they bring each other up when they need it, they know each other so well that they can fight against their strengths but they know they can rely on each other so MUCH that they balance one another when the situation calls for it. And! Green is closest to TSC! (According to Alan)
they're strong individually, but they are stronger together, and they work well as a team! Both are equally competitive, talented, resourceful, and accepting while having behaviors that differ from each other! These differences don't work against them because of their trust!
and that is the foundation for any friendship or relationships in general! they can rely on one another when they need to. Green knows how capable TSC is, and TSC knows how Green can handle a situation on his own, but when they're forced to separate, it hurts them a LOT
i love pairings that don't make the other person inferior or superior. because being in a relationship is a two-way street, and both of the parties involved must collaborate to build towards a lasting goal. being a partner is being a friend and a teammate. you don't have to be the same, you just have to work well together!
and i think Green and TSC execute that perfectly 💚🧡
