ngl when i first started watching above and beyond i HATED paani on a personal level just because there was so much of him in season one and like barely any of the original Octonauts BUT then I watch season 2 and I’m on season 3 now and I’m starting to understand his appeal.(sidenote. Why is only season 1 and 2 on Netflix and then season three and four is on BBC . Like stop, splitting shows over different streaming platforms)
this is a Shellington sketch that I did in school for what I was going to do, just so you can understand my vision more 
human dashi dancing (was going to draw her with Shellington, but run out of room )
(click in to see better tumblr fucks with the image)
Human Tweak (She was a lot more buff in the drawing I did of her when she was younger that’s because as you get older it’s harder to maintain muscle,as well as in my au she is trans and when she was younger because of the time period that would have been she wouldn’t have been taking oestrogen (sp?) nevertheless I think I should have  draw her a wee bit more muscular or with a wee bit more fat on her )
I’m very happy to introduce you my new button badges collection ! 🎉 They will be available in my shop very soon !! It was so good to draw everyone safe, happy and reunited ! 🥰☀️
Ok barnacles at Zumba it is
 Shellington : he is 37 and tunip is his child from a previous relationship (having all the vegemals be his kids wouldn’t make any sense.) he is a marine biologist and is married to dashi.he is still Scottish (cuz y would i change that what would be the point.)He has had his drivers licence revoked and has spent the last couple years taking and falling driving tests.The only reason he passed the first time is because the person who was testing him was quite old and didn’t realise how bad he was at driving.He met his ex (Tunips bio mum) at university they became friends but didn’t start dating for a few year’s . they dated for a couple of years before she became pregnant with Tunip when they were around 27-28 They immediately got engaged however she had a change of heart and called it of (breaking up with shellington) they now share custody and she usual gets tunip on weekends but she travels around a lot for work.Shellington met dashi when he was put on the octonauts research team when he was 30 they quickly started dating and got engaged after 4 years and married after 5. Shellington is a terrible cook and once set of the fire alarm trying to boil an egg (true story about my friends brother)He is usually quite quiet and shy but he has no bother talking to people he is comfortable around.Shellington is very close with professor Inkling who actually used to be one of his professors at university.He’s still allergic to red urchins (because that is fucking hysterical) He uses he/him pronouns and is bisexual and he enjoys jigsaw puzzles.
sorry, if I misspelt anything or punctuation doesn’t make sense, I have dyslexia and voice to text can only do so much. if I think of anything else to add in the future, I’ll just make a part two for him.  and I’ll be making wee posts like this for all the characters. 
look at my favourite loser<3
I re-read Coyote by Allen Steele a couple years ago, and the bit in the opening suddenly came back to me. You know, the part where a right-wing political party took over the US, rewrote the Constitution to erase a century of social progress, rounded up all the black or brown people to either deport them or put them in heavily surveilled government housing if they had a "useful" job, and let a handful of billionaires take the final few swings of the axe to Earth's ecosystem on a vanity project of space colonization.
Sure is a good thing science fiction isn't and has never been political.
she looks like a mouse from a children's book. to me
