Okay so..I just had a thought- have you ever wondered if like Barnacles would use his belly as a timeout if one of the Octonauts did something dangerous when they knew not to do it?

Oh it’s not so much a wondering as an innevitability. It’s straight up the most common reason for kwazii to end up in there

It’s actually pretty funny because I think the first art I ever posted related to octonoms was barnacles eating shellington for not effectively taking care of himself. Its a full circle lol

But yeah seriously barnacles is sooooo so so parent-figure coded and I think that includes having to make his kidscrew sit and think about their actions when necessary(often paired with a disappointed lecture). He just wants them to be safeeee and when hes got sleep deprived scientist, adhd incarnate first mate, ‘time is an illusion in the face of invention’ engineer…. He has his work cut out for him lets just say

Do you ever think that any of the Octonauts would wake up frantically from a dream and go get one of the others and eat them cause they think somethings wrong when really it was a dream that startled them?

Almost certainly; Barnacles is especially a victim of this- I mean have you seen some of the messes the crew get in to? The movies? Hell even the Amazon Adventure episode they all get separated and Kwazii even gets knocked out…

I would bet that the captain has woken up from an especially vivid dream and just.. desperately needs that confirmation that his family is safe. It might be a little startling for whoever gets swallowed but I think they would very quickly key in to how hes feeling and how fast his heart is beating and pivot to reassurance. Being cramped and slimy is little inconvenience when it comes to helping their leader-dad-bear feel better

First of the self indulgent arts i never posted.. (sona is a shapeshifter) sometimes u just gotta be slime and sneak into a drink and be swallowed by your imaginary father figure. Its 2am and im studying for finals and all i want is to have no bones and be in tummy.

I waited a day cause im so nervous about my user name showing cause im just that type of person to be nervous about something like that but um..if your feeling up to it do you think you can possibly draw maybe some..Barnacles vore? You can do anything with it- please and thank you also sorry if this is long-

tadaaaaa~ *+.*

its kinda unspecific who he's eating i didnt have all my braincells today but i like when preds get equal cozy benefit from eating someone as prey does being eaten its very nice and soft and good

...Okay so i randomly just remembered one of your drawings..the one where Barnacles ate Inkling and fell asleep with Inkling inside his belly and im going to assume Inkling was like his normal size- So..im just wondering..can they be EATEN at normal size? Like...Barnacles eat Peso or Kwazii at the size they are..?..or would that be to much-?? I just thought of this and needed to ask your opinion- :3

Most of them cannot be eaten at normal size- Inkling is really an exception because hes rather small and very malleable so its less likely he would be hurt or hurt barnacles in the process, and none of the others are big enough to eat him either.

polar bears can stomach about 20% (1/5th) of their body weight iirc? but of course thats not from swallowing one item whole, so it goes down a bit in that regard. The vegimals are also small and squishy enough for him to eat at normal size, and some of the others like kwazii and shellington have too

peso is just a bit too big but if he were a tad bit smaller I think he could.. not be eaten exactly but if he were already in there he could fit. Inkling is right on the cusp of being too big to handle.

see im very scientific in my made up fantasy of eating people in a show where animals talk and live on a giant high tech octopus sub/joke

beep boop comic time

Kwazii has maybe two-ish braincells and used them to decide that the most effective way to get rid of the cold in the arctic that continues to plague him at every moment is to just shrink himself down and chill in a cup of hot cocoa for a bit

he did not think to inform the crew he was doing this. Barnacles has a history of not checking his drinks before downing them. This is a recipe for disaster.

on the other hand tho hes still warm so is it really even a problem? i mean he'll be fiiiine, and cap'n will realize.. eventually...

headcanon of the day by our beloved @roseytoesy (the second comic was drafted by them too <3), peso will headbonk people when he wants to be stored but doesnt have the energy to ask; its a way for him to communicate without the awkwardness of verbally requesting it. it makes barnacles and kwazii especially melt every time he does it-
