a small thought popped up that Paani would lay down on his paddle board and just look at the stars or the water while he drifts whenever he can’t fully sleep or when the loneliness really hits him
i feel like this happens before he met the octonauts
(also a semi related thought to this, i feel like couple of times Paani would’ve accidentally got lost during these then somehow magically found his way back)
more headcanons of Estrella because why not 😋 (im gonna but a line break bc i feel like its too long smh)
Estrella calls Pinto beans bc of pinto beans :)
Estrella will swear up and down that she doesn’t have any friends bc friends will one day go (trust issues core, me too estrella) but she does have some friends and she’ll do anything to keep them safe
Estrella has a kinda deadpanned face and swears that shes doesn’t feel much (she does she doesn’t know how to express it well without feeling weird)
Estrella will remember something that someone says no matter how small or big it was mentioned
Estrella shows more through actions then words (much to her dismay)
Her family died, all of them💔 she got no family (maybe not her grandpa but ill decide later on 😋) and pinto told her as a joke “big skill issue” she didn’t know to cry or punch him (you can imagine what she did)
She loves tea for some reason?? idk why it just feels right
She doesn’t actually know much of the world bc she was captured in a ship for around half a year give or take (the people on that ship killed her parents btw)
Then she also escaped to the Antarctica for like 8 months(it was the nearest place also where she met pinto) then somehow ended up on another island for the next two years (around that amount of time) then she was finally found by kwazii and paani during a mission
She has the handwriting of a five year old (captivity on a ship doesn’t give you a lot of resources to write smh)
She also can’t read or write (how she’s writing/reading on the ask blog uhh idk text to speech or sum??)
She has like an amazing sense of smell like she can smell anything but it often overwhelms her
She HATES strong scents, like vinegar if you ever give her vinegar without a reason she will punch you in the face
Also she always has her hands on her bag or at least on something
Also Estrella isn’t her real name btw, it was given by Pinto because she can’t remember her actual name anymore bc it been so long since she was called by that name
Even though she’s norwegian she can’t speak it very well (captivity does stuff to you) much to her disappointment
Her sister loves hot chocolate unlike Estrella (if you give her hot chocolate she will tell you she doesn’t like it then proceed to drink all of it for her sister)
Estrella’s mom has a pirate myth about her (Estrella knows the myth to heart)
Speaking of that myth Kwazii heard it and during the mission where Paani and Kwazii found Estrella he thought Estrella was that myth
uhhh Hi everyone 😭 sorry for suddenly disappearing😭
I had to get off media mostly because of my weak immune system acting up when I last uploaded 😭 (as well as some personal reasons, burnout, the typical stuff)
I could only respond to comments (occasionally) and liked some stuff, but I am still sorry about the surprise hiatus
I promise I will be back soon!!
(also I been working on some projects so I wasn’t lazy during it!!)
There’s a more “yapish” explanation for anyone wondering why exactly I stopped posting on the bottom and some updates (u don’t have to read)
I’ll post something soon!! (any questions lmk in the comments) Sorry for my horrible grammar its like 12am for me and im tired but cant sleep and i needed to make this post before i explode /nsrs
okay, so why i left was because of three main reasons
- School/personal life burnout
I was running out of energy to properly balance my life and it was either tanking my grades but posting or good grades but temporarily not posting
I wasn’t planning on not posting for so long, but then life happens which leads to
- Life getting me
I have a very weak immune system, which at the time I stopped posting, everyone was getting sick around me, which ended up getting me sick. I also stay sick for longer AND being sick worser (i am infact sick at this moment, dw im getting better)
Which usually means I don’t have the energy to do anything but at least the bare minimum (or at least trying my hardest I can at the moment)
also my physical health has been declining for a bit, so i was trying to get “back to normal” so to speak
So why didn’t I post about this earlier? due to reason 3
- Social-ish reasons
Well, at the time, I was getting more eyes on me, so to speak (I was getting more attention than i was used to)
And I being the very introverted person, got panicked😭 so did the best thing I could do! Hide away from everyone til i felt safe😭
genuinely idk why i do this, im trying to actually get better at this but I suck at it😭
You guys are wonderful, especially the octonauts fandom, its mostly my dumb brain that got nervous
I planned to returned after like a month or something, but then life got worser for me which worsen my social anxiety or whatever i have wrong with me
I never met to be gone for this long, and i’m genuinely sorry (i feel really bad)
Another reason (under this) I stopped posting was because I put too much pressure on posting only octonauts content when I wanted to post other type of content (ocs, and other fandoms)
So in the future expect more content from other things because this is my blog and i shouldn’t be anxious abt it (not being mean just letting u guys know, im trying to be “stricter” abt it so I can stay with my word)
- (spaced out so it doesn’t look long asf) -
Another thing I wanted to address is the ask blogs (I will be posting this explanation over there in a bit)
I will be posting on there!! I promise, I don’t know when😭 but i will
The main reason I stopped posting was due to my social/mood was getting low so I couldn’t act like them (which i like to strive for whenever I do an ask blog, also the reasons above didn’t help at all)
I actually had something planned with my ask blogs, but for now I will actually temporarily postpone it for a bit til i get my act together
Overall, sorry for disappearing, I got too overwhelmed by life and posting (also STORAGE KEEPS SCREWING ME OVER GEHHWHA /nm)
if you have any questions lmk in the comments
I know this was long to read so apologies (especially with my horrible grammar) I’ll be back soon with much more enjoyable content instead of my yapping
i got a silly idea for a AU, im prob gonna draw it later. but this is what i have so far
So what if the Octonaut and the octoagents swapped roles/places (idk)
i think barnacles’ place would be filled in by Paani. they seemed really similar to me tbh (also captain paani just seems really funny to me rn)
and i also wanted to Calico Jack in Kwazii place bc imagine all the family angst i can put in there.
I’ll probably expand upon this later bc i have a huge ass headache 😭 but i sorta have everyone else in places but idk abt the vegimals like do they still be there or? idek😭
i also added the newer octoagents too bc i would feel bad if i didn’t include them😭 but i feel like they would join later on ig
this role thingy might change when i actually make art of them (or idk maybe all of it)
i have no idea if this makes any sense but im throwing my idea out there bc i think it’s actually pretty cool
if yall wanna ask about why i chose each role ur free to ask😋 (i just didn’t want to make this into a long ass rant😭)
hopefully no one else came up with this too, if someone did sorry😭
