Wait This Makes Sense

Wait this makes sense

So we all agree that Kwazii and Shellington are neurodivergent, right? Right. But hear me out: Captain Barnacles is autistic.

cracks knuckles let's go—

His voice is very stern, monotonous, and very loud, at all times. He always speaks like this, even when he's being casual or funny. No matter what emotion he's feeling, either.

His catchphrases are part of his social script, the octo-alert is part of his routine, and he gets visibly bumbly when they're interrupted or triggered unexpectedly.

So We All Agree That Kwazii And Shellington Are Neurodivergent, Right? Right. But Hear Me Out: Captain

He very often does this thing where when the octo-alert is randomly sounded, he will instinctively react and begin saying his catchphrase, before getting really confused.

See also this scene where, really, there's no point of sounding the alert, as they're the only ones there, and everyone else is busy—when Tweak is unable to do it, Barnacles pulls out his compass, and does it himself. Plus the time when he sounded the alert telling everyone to go to the launch bay, but they were already there. He also has a morning routine, seen in ROF.

He always knows when Tweak has an invention that is perfect for whatever oddly specific situation they're in, when nobody else does. Likely because he doesn't like surprises/unexpected things, so she always tells him when she starts a new project.

Sensory issues! Observe his reaction to a loud noise:

Yes, everyone reacts negatively to the noise, that's true, but look at him! He completely recoils and tucks into himself, he tries to flatten his ears, he shuts his eyes, and he even shakes his head.

Special interests: music (his accordion), ships (his tiny hand-built models), and the octopod itself.

He wrote 3 books! 3!!! Just on how to pilot the Octopod. For who? Himself. Who else could actually read these books, and understand any of it? Even Peso in that scene says he doesn't think he'd understand it.

The octocompass is a comfort item for him—the entire cuttlefish episode is him being stressed about getting it back after it's lost, and he gets easily frustrated whenever it doesn't work.

I'm out of space for pictures, but he struggles with social cues sometimes too.

Amazon River special: Kwazii has to directly say to him "that's your cue." when he misses his hint to sound the octo-alert.

Seahorse Tale ep: Kwazii is worried Barnacles is mad, and he doesn't notice at all.

Great Barrier Reef: Kwazii whispers the secret ingredient to him, and he repeats it out loud.

Yo OP wheres the fic at

Crossover Idea: Grimm/Transformers Prime

Note: For people who don't know in the world of Grimm there are these people called Wesen which is a German term for creatures that live among human’s, hidden from normal human’s eyes. Wesen on the show are based on mythological creatures, animals, and like the name implies Grimm Fairytails. Only people called Grimms and other Wesen can see what they really are, unless the Wesen fully woge A.K.A transform, taking on the full appearance of what they are. That's what makes Grimms so dangerous to Wesen, because despite there human disguises a Grimm can tell who they are right away if they change.

AU Crossover:

So my idea is one that's nothing to significant to the battles or storyline of TFP as of yet. The AU takes place where Jack, June, and Rafael were Wesen and Agent Fowler and Miko were Grimms.

My idea is that there's this conflict and tension within the group because of the mixed up history between their two species.

That at the same time needs to be put aside because of the whole secret battle going on between the Autobots and Decepticons.

I have an idea for what kind of Wesen June, Jack, and Rafael would be.

I see Rafael as a Steinadler, a hawk like Wesen with amazing eye-sight with a heroic and adventures person.

Jack I see as a Manticore, a is a half-lion/ half-scorpion like Wesen. With warrior like personalities there people willing to fight for what they believe in.

Not to descend far from Jack's feline heritage I see June as a Löwen, a lion-like Wesen. While stubborn and aggressive, they can also be protective and especially adaptable.

(If you have any suggestions though I'm willing to hear)

Hope to do more with this AU and I'll post separate post with more details and images soon enough.

I am so happy rn omg

No one has done it to my knowledge, so take my quiz on which Pacific Rim Jaeger you’d pilot.

Do y'all wonder if there was an Octonaut we didn't know about that got kicked off the crew or something

or died...
