Do yall ever just
crisp glass of water moodboard
I really want to see you draw shellington with the Vegimals aka his kids and everyone's first reactions to the Vegimals!
Note: Peso isn’t here because this all takes place before he joined
When the Vegimals first hatched, Shellington was astonished by these fascinating creatures.
And then reality set in
How was he going to tell the rest of the crew?
On top of this now he had to take care of these little guys. Give them names, feed them, ect.
Welcome to parenthood Shellington
He was nervous about the crew getting scared, or worse wanting the Vegimals to be released back into the ocean, so he kept his care for them a secret. (Although he wasn’t particularly subtle)
Soon Captain Barnacles noticed how sluggish and overworked Shellington had become and decided to check on him, only to be met with a small little creature thrusted into his arms by Shellington.
The lab was in total chaos and Shellington wasn’t looking too well.
Even with a very brief explanation from Shellington, the Captain could see how exhausted he was. And the Vegimals didn’t seem dangerous, just a bit of a handful.
So he made the decision to brief in the other Octonauts.
They were all shocked by the Vegimals, and had so many questions.
But Captain Barnacles made it very clear the main priority was to help Shellington. Luckily, Inkling found a few baby books in his big library.
They all joined Shellington in the lab bringing fish biscuit formula, blankets, Tweak had made little beds, Inkling brought a few books for Shellington, and they all stayed with him to help out with the Vegimals.
Shellington was very touched by his crew’s compassion, so much so he fell asleep.
The captain didn’t mind though, and they all kept watch over their new crew members while Shellington got some well overdue rest.
And by the time Peso joined, they Vegimals were very much a part of the crew, and he was briefed in about them and to not be startled by them.

comic under the cut
In case anyone wants to know why Papyrus is so mad-
He’s the one that comforts Frisk when they wake up every night with nightmares. He’s the one that drives them to and from therapy. He’s the one that takes care of them.
That’s his kid.
ok last thing. but what people fundamentally need to get through their heads is the significance of gaza fundraisers not being the same as like mutual aid when you're helping someone get groceries, because it is a genocide. there is insane deliberate scarcity and prices are unmanageable, because there is nowhere nearly enough for everyone, so only people who can pay can eat. and what positioning individual fundraisers as the only course of action does is quite simply give a tiny percentage of random people whose fundraisers take off the ability to pay those prices while thousands of others can't. and every one of those thousands of people without a fundraiser is suffering through the same inconceivably horrific reality. it is giving a few completely desperate people out of hundreds of thousands a slightly more favorable position in a horrific war economy of imposed scarcity. and what grassroots community kitchens do is try to mitigate in some small way that inconceivable hierarchy of who can pay and who can't, by stretching ingredients as far as they can last to cook meals at large scale and give them out at no cost. and obviously people are still going to send money to their friends and families because this is hell what else are we supposed to do but please just think about that before promoting endless individual fundraisers as somehow the most ethical way to help
