OKAY LISTEN HEAR ME OUT I HAD A VISION AND PERSONALLY I THINK ITS ABSOLUTELY PEAK OKAY!?!?!

Context :

In my au, the Octo-Agents live on the Reef Base in the way the Octonauts live on the Octopod - while the agents do travel around a lot more often than the Octonauts themselves, they spend their leisure time at the Reef Base socializing and resting with one another,,, so in my head, they deserve to each have their own friendships and dynamics between one another :] and perhaps even a few romances >:] (cuz if you know anything about me, you know I LOVE shipping <3) ,,, And personally, I love Haraka, she's super cool and a creative spin on a character for the series, so she deserves all the love in the world!!!💥💥💥💥 ,,, so why not give her a beautiful and cool botanist gf in Selva :3 !! I don't remember if they ever interacted in the series but I get to do whatever I want bc its my au <3 so I shipped em for a super cute drawing that I adore and enjoyed making ^w^

GRRRRAAAAAAA I needa make more stuff about the agents SO BADDDD DUDEEEEE AAAAUGHHHH but alas I haven't had very many interesting ideas yet 😔 so asks/suggestions are very much welcome!! 🥺 lmk ur thoughts on some agents ships too if you like, I'd love to know what other people have considered :3!!

Since I knew I’d be drawing a lot of characters for this one, I put the all on a wheel, spun it and let fate decide. The only character I chose myself was Haraka, since I wanted to draw her really badly lol. You can tell it’s my first time drawing her, and Selva too

First, there are Octo-Agents

Paani's name means "water" in a few languages, befitting his occupation as a hydrologist

Selva's name means "jungle" in Spanish. Given that jungles have some of the highest diversity of plants of any biome, it's a perfect name for Selva.

Haraka's name means "quickly, or fast" in several languages such as Swahili, which makes sense since she is a cheetah.

For Animal Friends we have examples such as

Magnus and Stefan the Reindeer

Sasha the Siberian Salamander

Boda the Skua

Guillermo the Quino Checkerspot Caterpillar/Butterfly

Bjorn, Helga, and the other Puffins in their colony

Choti the Squirrel

Atif the Sun Bear

Ernesto the Sehuencas Water Frog

Vim the Wisent

Paolo the Hoatzin

Pablo the Pininga Turtle

Pinksy and Minsky the Ravens

Yelena the Musk Ox

Wadi, Kunthi, and Kadek

Ayanda the Termite

Kecik, a Sambar Deer fawn

Amid the Weaver Bird

Mandeep the Malabar Giant Squirrel

Farisa the Masked Owl

Tara the Tarsier

Johannes the Bald Ibis

Wangari the Elephant

Anja the Coquerel's Sifaka

Tanjuna the Tenrec

Enrico and Alfonso the Emperor Tamarins

Selkie the Ringed Seal

Tokma the Bar-Headed Goose

Ponno, Wythra, and Tamayva the Golden Jellyfish

Taga the Brown Tree Snake

Amadi and the Crested Rats

Quakka and Yaga the Secretary Birds

Darla and Babu the Moon Bears

In a scenario where Haraka and Dashi are dating, I ship them because captive cheetahs often need emotional support dogs for their anxiety --- Haraka definitely isn't a nervous coded character but we can just say she's medicated, and/or having a banging hot girlboss dog gf around helps her feel better 🥰 🐆🐕

The only thing I’m sick of are these puns
