Hello! Welcome to our little fandom we have here, please, make yourself at home. I'm Miles, and you can read my pinned intro to learn more about me. Whether you're here on a journey of self-acceptance, unmasking, or just for the nostalgia, I hope you can find a comfortable place to rest during your stay. Enjoy the validation, my friend.
pronouns: they/them. I prefer gender neutral or masculine language. (mx./mr., sir, etc.)
funky brain go- *incomprehensible jargon and mechanical screeching*: a lot of this fandom is neurodivergent, so I want to share that I am autistic, have ADHD, dyscalculia, and anxiety. Many of these things affect the timeliness, or other aspects, of my posts or responses.
I am an adult, but all ages are welcome here! Please note though, that some of my content may involve slightly more mature themes, such as swearing and sometimes angsty topics discussing headcanons and theories related to mental illness or trauma. I will never post anything ns\ft. I will always add CWs and TWs to my posts; if I miss one, please don't be afraid to let me know, or request anything specific!

"I sent an ask and it's been a while lmao": I struggle with executive dysfunction really badly, but I will get to you eventually. I pinky-promise. /gen
"Where's your askbox?"
ask/dni rules under cut:
(the block button is my dearest sweetest bestest friend <3 so read carefully lmao)
Please DON'T ask me shipping questions. This includes my opinions on certain ships, what I ship or don’t, prompts or requests implying certain ships, etc. I know that shipping is fun for a lot of people, but publicly talking about it triggers my anxiety, so I’d rather not. Thank you for understanding.
(There are "\"s through some words, so that this post isn't filtered, or able to be found in certain tags.)
Side note: Please DON'T TAG ANY of my posts as #ship, unless explicitly stated otherwise with a "#tag however you wish" or "#interpret how you wish". It's rare that I use these tags, but if I do, it's fair game. If you leave comments on my posts or in my inbox about shipping, I will not respond to them, and I'll probably remove them.
Keep it family friendly. Meaning: NO usage of slurs (even if you don’t know it’s a slur, or if you personally can/have reclaimed it, I will delete your ask/reply, and block you. the word “queer” is fine.), no references to or specific asks about dr*g use or alc*hol, no lemony or sugg\estive material, no graphic violence, go\re, or injury. This applies to comments on my posts, as well.
Side note²: I don't like pros\hippers. Go away. If I see ANY pros\hip content or support of such content on your blog AT ALL you will instantly be sentenced to life of a block without trial. No excuses, no second chances. ❌
I'm anti-AI. Full stop. No AI art, written work, or anything else will be tolerated here.
No queerphobia (this includes gatekeeping), no racism or xenophobia, no ableism. (or any other kind of -isms, if they ever come up). Don't ever send me hate speech, dis\course, or bullying, regarding myself or others. It's pointless, will be deleted on sight, and I may block you. Go eat a snickers and think about your life choices.
If you really want to ask something that might imply one of the above, please put CWs and TWs* at the beginning of your ask; and be very clear that what you're sending in is a genuine question*, headcanon, or whatever else it may be. (*If it's a question, I may respond privately.)
I welcome angst concepts with open arms! But again, please use CW/TWs, and refer to the previous rule’s “no graphic violence” note. If you’ve been here a while, you’ll know I love some good emotional angst~ (high school english teacher voice: "in writing, that's called ✨catharsis!✨")
Also remember that I can decide to just,, not answer something, even if it follows the rules. Usually I’ll do this if I’m not sure how to answer an ask, like, if I’m not knowledgeable enough on the subject, or it references a non-octonauts piece of media that I’m not a fan of, or it features a weird specific trigger/squick of mine that you would have no way of knowing about. Either way, if you’re sitting in your room staring at the wall and you randomly think to yourself, “Hey... my ask never got answered.......” that could be why.
...UNLESS it’s just a case of Funky Brain Syndrome (executive dysfunction, or good ol' anxiety). In that case, I promise it's not personal, and I am sincerely sorry for the delay—please continue being patient 🙏, and take this lollipop for your troubles: 🍭

*Quick glossary:
a CW warns for content that someone may not want to see or hear, for any reason. (examples: violence, ns\ft, certain people or topics, phobias, squicks or triggers: see final note.)
a TW warns for content that may be triggering for someone to see or hear. (examples: flash\ing, eye\strain, unr\eality, vents, tics, certain topics, words and/or phrases, or phobias.)
a squick is something that may make someone highly uncomfortable to see, hear, or read about; it's different from a trigger in the sense that they're usually more mild, and less likely to cause real damage or harm, but you'd still prefer to avoid them nonetheless. (examples: they can be anything, but are often things like certain tropes, topics, ships, or milder phobias, secondhand embarrassment, etc.)
The two words CW + TW can, and very often do, go hand-in-hand; but the difference can matter sometimes—so can the difference between a squick and a trigger.

Because I graduate with my degree in Environmental Science this winter, I’ve been remembering the series that inspired my career goals and have redrawn my original human designs!
Plus some headcanons under the cut
@octoagentmiles remember 2022-2023 when these guys were all I drew?
oh by the way above and beyond season 6 (i believe the final season unless they renew it) comes out may 29th in china (no word on an english release yet)
@octoagentmiles I know it's been a WHILE but listen-
Ok ok. So shortly after I made the Octonauts headcanons, I started running through as much vegimal lore as I could get me hands on.
I'll be splitting this into two parts- the TV show and the book series. Both have really intresting implications.
In the TV series, Shellington found them on the side of the Octopod as eggs. He had to bring the eggs inside because there were predators circling- specifically, white-tipped reef sharks. Though, whitetips don't eat eggs.
(sorry about the crappy photo)
This tells us that the Octonauts were in the Indo-Pacific ocean- not too sure WHERE, exactly, (It's HUGE) but somewhere there. It also tells me that whatever laid those eggs were also in that area, maybe even hiding out in the Indo-Pacific somewhere.
The eggs are pretty big, and there's no way somebody missed that. Plus, from what I know, many ships are cleaned top to bottom as they travel so they don't accidentially spread an invasive species. So the eggs were likely laid on that exact day in that location.
It was late at night when the eggs were found, and Shellington was the only one who saw them. I have no idea how long he'd been out, or where he was surveying, but Shellington was near the Octopod when he found them, so I can assume that he was coming back to the Octopod. It was late at night, after all.
Whatever laid the eggs waited until Shellington left, laid the eggs, and ditched them before he came back.
The Vegimals are really intelligent, and I doubt any of them would willingly lay eggs and then ditch them. I also doubt that they'd lay eggs on the weird looking metal octopus and leave them vulnerable to predation.
This is just a theory, so take it with a grain of salt. But I believe that the eggs were potentially left there on purpose, after learning who the Octonauts are and what they do.
Personally, I like to think it's a more wholesome version of brood parasitism. The Octonauts are kind. Caring. They help any creature in need, no matter what it is. The children would be in good hands.
Or, going with Captain Miles' alien theory, maybe the Vegi-parents, stranded on this planet and left with little choice, left their eggs with the Octonauts, hoping that they would take the kids in. Though what, exactly, would they be doing on Earth is a different story.
In the books, the lore is the same- Shellington found them on the side of the Octopod, and took them in. And they seemingly don't belong anywhere in the world. (The Great Big Ocean)
But there's also something really interesting.
Strangely enough, throughout the Octonauts books, we see plant stalks with what seems to be vegimal eggs on top of them.
We see this multiple times throughout the books, though the best example is on the cover of "The Frown Fish", where we can see several of these stalks.
And for reference, here's an actual Vegimal egg from both the show and the books:
Because they look different enough (open eyes, white nose) I'm not gonna say that they ARE Vegimal eggs, but I find it very interesting that they look so similar.
That's just about it. It's a alarmingly late time and I need to sleep. Goodbye and fare thee well.

Being crazy about a piece of media for any amount of time will leave a weird mark on you forever because years later you’ll see someone posting something about it like “can we talk about this frame” and you’ll be like “ah that frame. i know all about that frame. I was once a scholar of that frame.”
