Wait this makes sense

So we all agree that Kwazii and Shellington are neurodivergent, right? Right. But hear me out: Captain Barnacles is autistic.

*cracks knuckles* let's go—

His voice is very stern, monotonous, and very loud, at all times. He always speaks like this, even when he's being casual or funny. No matter what emotion he's feeling, either.

His catchphrases are part of his social script, the octo-alert is part of his routine, and he gets visibly bumbly when they're interrupted or triggered unexpectedly.

He very often does this thing where when the octo-alert is randomly sounded, he will instinctively react and begin saying his catchphrase, before getting really confused.

See also this scene where, really, there's no point of sounding the alert, as they're the only ones there, and everyone else is busy—when Tweak is unable to do it, Barnacles pulls out his compass, and does it himself. Plus the time when he sounded the alert telling everyone to go to the launch bay, but they were already there. He also has a morning routine, seen in ROF.

He always knows when Tweak has an invention that is perfect for whatever oddly specific situation they're in, when nobody else does. Likely because he doesn't like surprises/unexpected things, so she always tells him when she starts a new project.

Sensory issues! Observe his reaction to a loud noise:

Yes, everyone reacts negatively to the noise, that's true, but look at him! He completely recoils and tucks into himself, he tries to flatten his ears, he shuts his eyes, and he even shakes his head.

Special interests: music (his accordion), ships (his tiny hand-built models), and the octopod itself.

He wrote 3 books! 3!!! Just on how to pilot the Octopod. For who? Himself. Who else could actually read these books, and understand any of it? Even Peso in that scene says he doesn't think he'd understand it.

The octocompass is a comfort item for him—the entire cuttlefish episode is him being stressed about getting it back after it's lost, and he gets easily frustrated whenever it doesn't work.

I'm out of space for pictures, but he struggles with social cues sometimes too.

Amazon River special: Kwazii has to directly say to him "that's your cue." when he misses his hint to sound the octo-alert.

Seahorse Tale ep: Kwazii is worried Barnacles is mad, and he doesn't notice at all.

Great Barrier Reef: Kwazii whispers the secret ingredient to him, and he repeats it out loud.

I don’t play Adventure forward but Childe

Hoo boy, requested by my friend !!

Cyalm/Claud (Adventure Forward) as Childe (Genshin Impact) !!

This was really fun to make !! hehehe, clown boys

I just realized why i kin him hahaa

let's talk about captain barnacles again

my favorite character!! he has issues <33

specifically, he has self preservation issues. he's always getting frustrated with Kwazii, or just physically holding him back, calling him "reckless," etc. Always telling him to be careful; and what does Kwazii always say?

And he's right; he is always careful. Aside from a couple bumps on the head here and there, Kwazii almost never gets hurt, no matter how much danger he puts himself in.

Barnacles on the other hand:

threw himself into literal acid.

threw himself under a giant falling ice chunk.

threw himself on top of the cone snail, AFTER already getting stung.

stood infront of an out-of-control Gup-B.

grabbed an actively chomping shark by the face.

and has been stung by jellyfish three times; once in this image, once in The Manatees, and again in season 5.

and of course, we all know The Manatees Episode™.

I think one reason he's always worried about Kwazii not being careful, is because he's not careful himself, so he believes that Kwazii's going to get hurt one day. He doesn't want that.

(I'd like to note that in all of those situations, he was trying to protect someone else, and I love that—but also Kwazii is very protective of his friends and the creatures he meets too, which just makes Barnacles see himself in him even more. furthering his worry.)

THIS IS SO POGGERS

The Full Anemoi Cycle

//based on The Oh Hellos anemoi album

After spending hours looking at Soundwave fanart on here i decided to make one of my own (i just started learning digital art so please do be kind)

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE Let’s say it’s 6.15pm and you’re going home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself..!! NOW HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE… Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can perhaps buy precious time to get themselves to a phone and dial 911.

Crossover Idea: Grimm/Transformers Prime

Note: For people who don't know in the world of Grimm there are these people called Wesen which is a German term for creatures that live among human’s, hidden from normal human’s eyes. Wesen on the show are based on mythological creatures, animals, and like the name implies Grimm Fairytails. Only people called Grimms and other Wesen can see what they really are, unless the Wesen fully woge A.K.A transform, taking on the full appearance of what they are. That's what makes Grimms so dangerous to Wesen, because despite there human disguises a Grimm can tell who they are right away if they change.

AU Crossover:

So my idea is one that's nothing to significant to the battles or storyline of TFP as of yet. The AU takes place where Jack, June, and Rafael were Wesen and Agent Fowler and Miko were Grimms.

My idea is that there's this conflict and tension within the group because of the mixed up history between their two species.

That at the same time needs to be put aside because of the whole secret battle going on between the Autobots and Decepticons.

I have an idea for what kind of Wesen June, Jack, and Rafael would be.

I see Rafael as a Steinadler, a hawk like Wesen with amazing eye-sight with a heroic and adventures person.

Jack I see as a Manticore, a is a half-lion/ half-scorpion like Wesen. With warrior like personalities there people willing to fight for what they believe in.

Not to descend far from Jack's feline heritage I see June as a Löwen, a lion-like Wesen. While stubborn and aggressive, they can also be protective and especially adaptable.

(If you have any suggestions though I'm willing to hear)

Hope to do more with this AU and I'll post separate post with more details and images soon enough.

MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT A SIDE PROFILE IS SO-
