Dude. I love aquatic creatures. This server was MADE for me... I'm the number one fan now.. Cant wait for the next episode heheheheheheheh

I genuinely have so many thoughts. I am NORMAL!

Headcanon that everyone's some sort of aquatic/semi-aquatic creature!!

Sharkilz - We're bringing back fishkilz for this one... He's a cat fish because, well, he's a cat. And then you add fish. The colors of the fins and (some) gills are from my fish Sharkilz design. The seaweed around his arms are kind of like bandages, and that and the pants are inspired by my human Sharkilz design. The hat is a bit inspired by purjopa's design! :)

SourSplash - Those big eyes of his just shouts otter vibes, trust. This is true to my normal design of Sour, but he doesn't have blood for blood! He has sour gel as his blood (like from those Juicy Drop Pops). My design is more like a Gusher though. You can see the sour gel through his ears and paw pads (not visible here). He's wearing a pearl necklace and bracelet, which could possibly be stolen 🤔

Naparizel - My normal design for him is a silk moth hybrid, and I wanted to keep the white accents on him, so I made him a sea bunny yay! I also didn't realize until after I originally posted this on Twitter that Napa was literally wearing red 😭 so I did give him some red, but I wanted to keep the brown because it's more iconic/recognizable I think.

Rejoice - His design (specifically the species) is inspired by ArcticaTheFox's design on Twitter! The frills give the sunflower representation... The tears are a normal occurrence of his. His right eye is more leaky than his left. He also just has a normal occurrence of having no neck or arms (Can you really tell in this? I don't think so). They float. The seaweed kinda resembles sunflower leaves.

Dol9hin - This one's a bit more of a redesign/remake of my normal Dolphin design because I haven't drawn her in awhile and haven't been liking my original design lately LOL. She's more fem now so that's awesome, and she also has the heterophobic eyes 🥹🥹 The coral crown with the white dress combo makes her look more like a goddess yes...

I might consider drawing some of the background/minor players at some point but we'll seeeee

Little (big) thing I just noticed about ocean smp ep 3 is the exchange in Power. Sharkilz realizes that Power is a gift, so he utilizes it in his fight with Swizu. Swizu, who has never seen someone use a trident before, finds that to be cheating. After some talk and understanding, Swizu realizes there's nothing inherently wrong with having Power. He sees how Sharkilz looks at the trident. When Sharkilz and Swizu defeat Rejoice, Sharkilz hands Swizu the trident, allowing Swizu to have utilize the Power as a gift as well. Swizu gets to embrace it just as how Sharkilz is embracing it. Additionally, this is also a character development for Sharkilz, who at the beginning of the episode was very needy about the trident. Now, he's starting to understand that he can also share that Power with others.

There's a bit of this "switch-up" between Sharkilz and SourSplash. At the beginning of the episode, Sharkilz wants to give Sour an explanation, but Sour doesn't want to listen. By the end of it, Sour wants an explanation (a real one) from Sharkilz but Shark is unable to say much.

Sharkilz starts learning how to love his gifts, such as Power, at the academy. He gains the confidence to find and talk to Sour again after spending time with Swizu, yet he doesn't expect to immediately be found by SourSplash. When they reunite, Sour goes in with the idea that he could just quickly take out Shark and send him to the Loop. Shark tries to talk to him because it's what he's been striving to do for the past month or so. When Sour stops fighting for the first time, he realizes that he can't quickly kill Sharkilz as he hoped. The realizes the bitterness and anger can now really be heard from his voice as he talks about his experience in the Loop.

Sharkilz's first thought is to give him an explanation over an apology.

As Sour unleashes more and more of his anger onto Sharkilz throughout the episode, Shark loses his confidence, his ability, to really explain anything to Sour. He shrinks back and is unable to give Sour an answer that would satisfy him, becoming sorrowful and fearful of what he has done and might do again. He gives Power up to SourSplash because he is afraid of it (rather than just feeling lost) and he feels burdened by its existence. That Power is what got him here.
