floyds entire life π¦π«§
this is for the twsthc server secret santa. im not good at anything but making headcanons so i hope u enjoy my floyd masterhc post thing arbys :3
Mr. & Mrs. Leech meet β‘
Mr. Leech is a tiger shark + giant moray from Okinawa π―π΅
Mrs. Leech is a spotted moray eel from Barbados π§π§
β° I'm not going to try and explain how tiger sharks (who fertilize internally) and moray eels (who fertilize externally) had babies. I don't want to think about it either actually.
They were conceived and born in Hawaii
Jade eats 9,999 eggs and left 1 because they were feeling silly
Floyd hatches!!! Yippee!!!
Floyd leech childhood !!
She was transparent and ugly
Became extremely attached to his mom during the 1 year period he was too small to swim down the reef
β° Jade was independent and liked to explore greenery near the nest, but this isnt about him.
κ
^^ This is what moray eel nesting looks like btw. Imagine this but with a bigger coral cave, a 12ft (4m) moray mermaid, 15ft (5m) shark/moray merman, and two half foot (15cm) long merbabies.
κ
After they get big enough they begin to explore with jade
β° Floyd was fascinated with other sea creatures while Jade liked the coral and seaweed around them.
It takes ~7 months for a moray eel to double in size, so at around 2 years old floyd was already a whopping foot (30.5cm) long! yippee!
They learned how to hunt with papa Leech around this time :3
Floyd leech adolescence β
I had to do some math. If a moray eel doubles in size every 7 months (~210 days), and floyd was 1 foot (30.5 cm) long at 2 years old, at 13 years old he would be... very big. so im going to curb this logic and say the doubling in size stops at around 3 years old.
β° tl;dr: Math hard. Floyd too big. Exponents bad.
I'll just say he was 6ft (3m) at 13 years old for convenience
When Floyd turned 13 papa leech tried to train him to become a suitable heir for his "very special business"
β° This headcanon is from server member deku_chi8256 !!
κ
^^ Moray eels get cleaned by cleaner shrimps! They have a transactional relationship- the shrimp gets a free meal and the moray gets a free bath (scrubbed of any parasites)
I imagine this is somewhat similar to how Mr. Leeches "special business" works. "I'll scratch your back, you'll scratch mine, and if you stop scratching I'll eat you," kind of vibe. This is the mindset he wanted to instill into the tweels.
κ
Floyd proved too difficult to train, so Mr. Leech moved onto Jade
This is where the insecurity and shit started to set in.
β° I'm not good or patient enough for my dad -> Jade is good and patient -> I hate Jade and I'm running away.
He ends up getting almost eaten whilst away from home multiple times and begrudgingly comes back to apologize.
The tweels begin to explore more, farther from their home/nest
They find a weird octopus kid! Wow!
Floyd leech adolescence (but older) β
The octatrio start studying to get into NRC α¦(Γ²_Γ³Λ)α€
Azul & Jade learn common languages through textbooks
β° BORING! LAME! UNORIGINAL!
Floyd learns common languages through nearby sailors
β° UNIQUE! INNOVATIVE! CREATIVE!
A lot of the sailors used slang, spoke in patois (and, of course, swore like sailors), so Floyd picked that up
Floyd learns about human fashion! He loved all of the colors above ground and the beach became his favorite spot to spy on!
He became obsessed with swimsuits and colorful umbrellas/beach towels, and started to pick up pretty human litter
He also learns about Spongebob. Important detail.
That's all I got in me [insert image of panda shriveled up on respirator here] but yeah I hope u enjoyed this was actually more of a gift for me but idrc :3 I will probably be updating this frequently so :33 YA!!!1
