new neo 3 design :3

she’s a tad fuzzy from repeated exposure but still mainly inkling

then i thought like what if when Grizz found the place and found O.R.C.A. he was like “ok so like what if i replace the walls and stuff bc it’s broken and crud with screens since this like thing happened and we gonna prevent that from happening again” and they were like “👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻”

but ofc he might’ve needed help to do that and the octarians have screens sooooo he squidnapped them obv to mainly help w experiments and egg management but also kept the promise of repairing the cavern walls w non explosive material

this one is specifically On the topic of some post i made saying one of the Non agents or cbv characters had PTSD?? so i had art block a bit and forgot to draw that so ill explain it instead.

(little to no highlighting bc i just wanna lore ramble hehe)

Tartar has mostly recovered (partly since it doesn’t remember much bc of the damage the magenta ink and the hit from the wail and whatever screwed it up!!!!) so it’s not really the point of interest.

but Grizz does still have very prevalent PTSD. mainly from a few different things (experiments, seeing his legit family and species and others ermmm not alive), however he’s still trying to recover from the events of ROTM. mainly the rocket battle.

In my opinion, if he has human like intelligence he must still have some animal instincts and mindset in there right. so with that the trauma of getting hurt repeatedly, harshly (being bitten, choked, having pieces although weird fuzzball things but still connected to your skin ripped off/sploded) and being maybe in a general state of panic must’ve caused SOMETHINH to go off.

therefore when he returned to Alterna (the only place he really calls home tbh) to recover and get back to managing his work and whatever, he got to experience the full effect of the delayed reaction he had—more like he hid his fear, panic, and/or “less professional” emotions/state of mind in hopes of it just going away after a while.

Yet when he got back and had some nightmare abt the whole event (vivid and painful as ever), he couldn’t suppress the overwhelming emotions any longer—which manifested in somewhat of a panic attack.

Anyway O.R.C.A. was able to calm him down and talk to him about it (although with a LOT of prodding and prying, since he wouldn’t admit to the vulnerability)

He now currently occasionally gets nightmares and brief flashbacks from that day, but it’s getting better with O.R.C.A.’s help (though much much slower). (flashbacks for him often manifest as visual) (feelings of panic and said flashbacks can be caused by triggers such as vacuums, anything that reminds him of the song played that day (so like calamari inkantation or smth), or even just supposedly minuscule objects like a globe, chilly air, stars, etc)).

Tartar, Callie, and Neo 3 are aware of his condition and try their best to not do anything that could possibly discomfort him or cause him panic. He doesn’t want them to tell the rest of the NSS bc he doesn’t want to be perceived as weak (also he thinks they’ll use it against him).

also O.R.C.A. is pretty good with accommodating and assisting those with neurological disorders / disabilities in general, so they don’t mind helping him on days he’s not doing so well.

A/N:

omg O.R.C.A. angst is real??!??!??!
