It's time... for YLW & GRN!

I made new crabs again! 4 actually! So let's not delay. Let's start! Let's head to the jungles of Mossrock...aka the main station of...

Mr. P He's a pea crab! Although he is the same size as Kandy, he is a full-grown man. He's actually older than Crimson! About 63 years old. He is a very stern and cold kind of guy. He does care for others; don't get him wrong, but he cares for survival more. He isn't the type to go back for people and only looks forward. He is just tired and sick of the world. He's one of those 'back in my day' guys. But don't underestimate his size. His abilities consist of interpersonal skills, analytical thinking, adaptability, physical prowess, technical expertise, escapology, stealth, and, surprisingly, pretty good biology, so he knows where to hit to kill. So next time you feel like something's crawling on your arm... Be glad you got to feel something from that arm for the time you had.

Lyle

Lyle here is a decorator crab. There is no other smarter crab like them! Thanks to Mann.co tossing the robots are the mechanical army built by Gray Mann into the shallow waters of Mossrock (Which is where all GRN crabs reside.) And the fact Mossrock is a jungle that houses radio stations that can control minds, they've learned how to work around machines. They're a clever fellow; their abilities consist of analytical thinking, adaptability, physical prowess, technical expertise, escapology, robot creation, and intellect. But with a great mind comes a handful (or in this case, chelipedful) of problems. They're extremely cautious and paranoid. They won't go with the flow unless the flow is safe and secure and beavers built a dam around the flow. They'll only fight back if he's accompanied by his rebuilt robots. Their sister, Citrus, isn't so happy about their paranoia and sometimes gets annoyed by it. (sound familiar?) But they still look out for each other. If you're lucky, you can find them messing around in the radio stations over at Mossrock. Careful though, thanks to his camouflage, he can throw corals or sea urchins at you! Ouch!

Now, let's head over to Banana Bay...aka the headquarters of...

Pualena (pu-a-lē-na)

Over by the shoreline, you can find a scurrying little coconut. But it's no ordinary coconut! It's Pualena the hermit crab! Over at the YLW team, they've actually raised the little SpyCrabs of the Banana Bay! Her abilities consist of speed, camouflage (thanks to the coconut), indomitable compassion, being a great guide, the ability to induce intense joy or pleasure, and communicating with animals. She is the whole definition of a good summer time. She loves greeting new people. She doesn't see humans as monsters or anything bad. Rather, she sees them as people who just have yet to really have a good time over at Banana Bay! Since she was raised by the mercs of the YLW team, she has full trust in the humans. She loves helping and just being a jolly rancher. But don't be deceived! Because she's such a sweet little thing, if something happens...they'll know. And if you poke at the bear cub, the family wakes up. You can find her by the shoreline collecting shells! If you're lucky, she might even give you one!

Citrus

She's a lemon fiddler crab! A sour, challenging, or even a "lemon" in a literal sense crab. She's not so into the whole "everything is fine" mindset. It doesn't help that she's in the most tropical and somewhat normal place of the TF2 verse. She hates the good vibes and prefers to just do her own thing. She could care less about what goes on in the world of war. And although males have one big claw and females have only small claws, she has one hard pincher!

... *cough* 🏳️‍⚧️ *cough* ... ANYWAYS

Her abilities include Speed swimming, Indomitable Will, Expert Athlete, Quick thinking, stubbornness, Super strength (only on her right claw), and Morse code (yes, the ACTUAL CRAB does morse code.) Her sibling, Lyle, is a constant nervous wreck, and because of that, she has to keep them in check. It's annoying, but it's life. She and Pualena are besties! (It's one-sided.). She could care less about Pualena. She can be found cracking open coconuts or even old rocks to try and find fossils. She has a very odd fascination with finding ammonites. She doesn't like to call it an addiction...but it clearly is.

Happy Pride Month!!!

Hey! I have question! What crab squad thinks about Celina? What they like/dislike about her. What is their opinion about her?

(Ya can write, no need for artwork if you don't want to ✌️)

Alright! Time for me to break my fingers and overanalyze my own characters :D Kandy🍬 & Celina🧣 Kandy is stuck to Celina like glue. Ever since Li first interacted with her, which was just her returning her to Crimson, Kandy had grown an attachment, like how a baby duck imprints on the first thing they see. If Kandy sees Li across the room, she will waddle her way over to her, even if she doesn't realize she could end up being seen or, worse, squished. Her favorite part about Li would oddly be her hair, as she would just like how fluffy it looks. Kandy would sometimes even draw for Celina, whether that be pictures of Li herself or even just objects she's seen. Kandy loves to hug but always forgets her spikes, so that's sometimes a bit of an ouchie. The only thing she would dislike would be whenever Li would have to go. She'd sob a little bit, not a full-out tantrum, but just a slight sniffle. If Li were to knit Kandy anything, Kandy would be seen holding onto it in her sleep the next day. She's just a little baby after all, and she doesn't know the real dangers of the world. Coralie💙 & Celina🧣 Oof, boy. Where to start? Coralie would be secretly jealous of Celina since she has extremely low self-esteem (SHUT UP NO I DON'T! STOP SPREADING LIES!) So she would do all kinds of things to try and "one-up" her. Coralie would also most likely chat up a storm as well. Always telling her made-up stories on how she went on epic borrowing journeys. But they were anything but. If Celina were to give Coralie a gift, Coralie would accept the gift but then go on about, "Oh! You shouldn't have! Really, you shouldn't! I have 20 of these!" But next thing you know, she treasures that gift like it's her life. BUT OH. IF CELINA DOES THE WHOLE "Alright. Show me" whenever Coralie starts to go off about her courage. Coralie would just be like

Anthropophobia at its finest. Brother Arañito 😈 & Celina🧣 Oof. And here I thought Coralie's and Celina's interaction would be kind of rough! Arañito loves pulling pranks on anybody, and I mean ANYBODY. So Li would be on the pranking list. And it would usually end with either one of them going through a near-death experience. Due to him being only 10, he would be seen more as an annoying cousin. But don't get it twisted; at the end of the day, Arañito is just a kid who wants the world to be a bit more silly and less "we're all going to die." And the whole "a lucky as heck child and that one adult friend who was tasked with looking after them and ends up in a wacky situation trying to save them" that you mentioned in my ask? Yup. SUMS IT UP. LMAO. But in the end, Arañito secretly does think Li is pretty badass. He would even prank BLU Sniper by hiding his jar lids and tell Li about it, trying to get her to laugh. Sister Araignée ⚰️& Celina🧣 Human haters.

Sister Araignée would probably meet Celina in the middle of one of her massacres. Since Sister Araignée is the most violent out of all of the family members (right next to Crimson), sometimes in a sort of sick and weird way of thanking Li for looking after her brother, she'd give her some human teeth she ripped out of some poor bastard's mouth. Li has every freakin' right to think Sister Araignée is creepy looking...because she is creepy. Like, genuinely. She is...eugh. I mean... at least Sister Araignée wouldn't want to rip Li's skin off if her brother likes her. Sister Araignée would barely talk to her but whenever she would, it'd be the most unpredictable moments...like imagine Celina trying to get through the walls of the base and she just hears, "𝔅𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔢 𝔰𝔬𝔦𝔯é𝔢 𝔫'𝔢𝔰𝔱-𝔠𝔢 𝔭𝔞𝔰 ?" right behind her out of nowhere- Sister Araignée would obviously notice how off-put Li would be at first, so she'd keep her distance. But if she sees BLU Sniper making a slight comment to Li? ... HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boy. I hope BLU Medic doesn't mind having to repair a broken nose...and teeth. Crimson 🦞 & Celina🧣 "..." "..." "..." "...You're interesting." 🦞 "...Um...thanks." 🧣 Yeah, surprise, Crimson is actually extremely socially awkward. She doesn't really know what to say in the moment, especially to someone that had the somewhat main mindset as her, with the whole mother feel. Crimson would obviously see that Celina doesn't really trust her at first and be a little rude at first, but Crimson would understand it. But as Crimson would show Celina more that they aren't that different, I'd like to think they'd chat about their past experiences over a bottle cap of wine. Crimson would tell Celina her stories about her whole voyage life before she ended up on the grounds of TeuFort. If Li needs a favor, Crimson wouldn't mind fulfilling it, since she looked out for the young ones of her family. So Crimson would also look out for anyone that Li cared about as well. "Your family is my family." (SPEED RUN THROUGH GREEN AND YELLOW CRABS :D) 🌺 Pualena & Celina🧣

Too trusting? Too friendly? How the FUCK are you alive? Pualena would just want to show Celina the shorelines of Banana Bay and even gift her with pieces of coconuts, wild berries, or even flowers. A bit TOO excited to see a new face. Might be overwhelming, honestly. 🍋 Citrus & Celina🧣 ...They hate each other. That's it. Citrus is WAY too sour and would just give Celina sass. Nuh-uh. It's not going to work out well. Especially if Citrus figures out about the whole BLU Sniper thing. She would clown the SHIT out of Li...and then it would end with a slight catfight. And immense apologies from their sibling, Lyle. Speaking of which- 🧠 Lyle & Celina🧣 🧠 "WHO ARE YOU!?" 🧣 "Jesus...calm down. I'm—" 🧠 "WHO!?" 🧣 "...I'm-" 🧠 "WHO!?!??!?" 🧣 "...yeah, no, I'm not doing this." 🧠 "...Wait, where are you going?!" 🧣 "Oh my fucking god..." After...that. Lyle would slowly lower their guard and calm down. But then Lyle would then go on about how "technology is the best way to combat against the humans!" And even show off the many machines they've made out of scrap metal and destroyed bits of the robot mercs. Lyle would then go on about all kinds of ramblings about technology, which Citrus would have to come in and smack the back of their head in order for them to shut up. But if Lyle were to find out Li interacted with ANY of the humans, OOOH BOY. They'd immediately quarantine themselves or even just stray away. 🧠 "DON'T YOU KNOW THEY CAN SMELL EACH OTHER FROM MILES AWAY!? YOU MIGHT BE LURING ONE HERE RIGHT NOW!!!"

🚬 Mr. P & Celina🧣 "..." "..." 🚬"...Humans?" 🧣 "Unfortunately."

🚬"...Hm...Have you ever thought of just simply climbing down their throat and cutting out their Adam's apple from the inside?" 🧣 "...huh." He's small...but has a lot of knowledge.
