✨Oddly Specific MTMTE/Lost Light Headcanons™✨
• Drift uses Cards Against Humanity cards for tarot because once when he got high with Rodders and they lost it in the vents pretending to play Among Us
• Rodimus has a fondness for cowboy hats. And cowboy movies. And cowboys. And wants to become a cowboy. And have a cowboy pardner. And kiss his cowboy pardner and ride off into the sunset with them.
• Brainstorm has one of those pillow pet star projectors (he's modified it to show like 200 different star systems)
• First Aid listens to J-pop and J-rock. Half of his playlist are anime openings
• Drift's favourite game is animal crossing and his favourite villiagers are Beu and Kabuki
• Ratchet's least favourite game is Operation because he gets frustrated asking questions like "why would he have a tiny horse lodged in his thigh?" And Drift would have to drag him away from the game as he's still yelling abt it. Ratchet was banned from Game Night temporarily after that.
• Brainstorm loves spiders. Perceptor however, does not. Especially when Brainstorm forgets to close the lid to the cage (which he insists is called an "enclosure") and they crawl on his scope when he's in his alt mode.
• Pharma likes black licorice. This is what made him turn. The evil was rooted in the licorice.
• Ultra Magnus keeps little souvenirs from each planet he visits- he has a shelf dedicated to it along with info cards about each souvenir.
• U.Mags also hates coffee. black tea drinker ftw
• Rung is an avid tea enjoyer also (he's a chamomile guy, shocker). Have anyone come to his office at late hours of the night he'll offer green, peppermint, chamomile, lavender, and hibiscus teas.
• It was actually Swerve who introduced him and Magnus to tea, and they often have little tea parties talking about whatever.
• Nautica, Rung, Nightbeat, Brainstorm, Velocity, and Skids all host a weekly game night at Swerve's. Usually it's just them but if anyone else joins it always ends in chaos.
• Uno is banned from Game Night, since it more often than not ends in cursing and punches. Things get competitive. Rodimus and Whirl were banned from Game Night because of this.
• Percy has an indoor garden of plants he created or modified accidentally. So now he has a carnivorous alien rose and an invisible cactus he doesn't know what to do with.
• Megatron has a mini self care garden in his office. His favourite is his lavender and he gives pouches of lavender leaves/flowers to those he cares about
• Rodimus and Swerve send eachother fanfiction for shows they've never watched before
• Swerve has movie nights in the bar playing human movies every Friday. Except for Jurassic Park got stuck in the player so it's only Jurassic Park forever
• Drift crochets but he only has orange and white yarn so they all look vagely like Ratchet

octonauts ATLA au 🤲
Barnacles is an EXTREMELY powerful waterbender from the North Pole, with a strong love for icebending—he defaults to it most of the time. He can use all subforms of waterbending, but they're a bit harder.
Kwazii's the Avatar, but he's still a pirate AND he's a natural firebender, so he still has that "scary and dangerous" reputation. He's afraid of using his firebending, because he hates it. Barnacles is teaching him waterbending, and he's pretty good at it. So far he sucks at earthbending, and his airbending is okay, but if he gets worked up it can accidentally come out as fire... which, yeah.
Peso is an airbender, and the first one in his family. He's not very skilled at bending, and he can't fly very well, and sometimes wishes he was a waterbender, like Barnacles. That way he'd be "stronger", and could utilize its healing abilities. He has an epiphany later on in the middle of S3 that makes him realize how powerful he really is, and he learns to fly :)
Tweak is an earthbender, which she inherited from her dad (maybe*). Like Barnacles, she has a love and preference for a specific subtype—in her case it's metalbending. She's very good at it. It's how she builds GUPs so fast.
Shellington is a waterbender. He doesn't use it very much, mainly because he's Not Great at controlling it—so you'll either end up getting lightly spit on or completely drenched in a tsunami by accident.
Dashi is a non-bender (with water tribe ancestry), which puts her at a disadvantage during some missions. However! She has all of her skills from the Canon Universe, plus the extra adaptiveness seen in non-benders in ATLA (Sokka, Suki, etc).
Inkling is also a non-bender, but he has studied the elements and different bending techniques his whole life. He's Kwazii's Monk Gyatso but with less dying.
Octoagents! 👇
Calico Jack is Kwazii's Uncle Iroh. I needn't explain further. His main goal is to teach Kwazii to be less afraid of his firebending.
Natquik is a waterbender, who taught Barnacles everything he knows. He got his penchant for icebending from him. He pretty much invented it. He survived Antarctica by ✨ Becoming One With The Ice™ ✨. He doesn't just study icequakes, he can make them. He can probably spiritbend.
*I'm TORN between making Marsh be an earthbender or a waterbender. If he's an earthbender, then he can't metalbend like Tweak can, but he's still very strong. Like, scarily strong 👀. IF HE'S A WATERBENDER, then he's a swampbender, full stop.
Tracker is an airbender, mainly because of how he's clearly paralleling Peso's arc in AnB. He was the only airbender in his Polar Scouts troop, and he got picked on for it a bit—but Barnacles thought it was cool as heck, and that's how they became friends.
Do I need to explain Paani being a waterbender? No I do not. He's probably VERY powerful, but very chillax about it. He successfully freaks out everyone who witnesses him bend every time. He can part the seas like freaking Moses.
Pearl is a waterbender like Shellington; she's not super strong, but she has a LOT more control over it than he does. Peri will be a waterbender as well, but he hasn't unlocked it yet. He's trying very hard because he wants to be like his mum and uncle SO badly.
Min could easily be a bender of any kind and it would make sense, but I kinda wanna say she's a non-bender. Just cuz ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Earthbender Ryla. That's all. It makes it a lot easier to get out of caves when she's stuck. She's very casual about it. So casual, that most people either forget or don't even realize she's a bender until it comes up. Then they're like "oh yeah." as she literally moves mountains.
Airbender Pinto, who has no clue how to control it. Whenever he gets frustrated with himself, he accidentally creates small tornadoes. He can also fly! He likes to brag about it. a lot. mainly to Peso.
Waterbender Koshi, who hasn't discovered that about herself yet. She's in for a fun time when she figures it out. Remember how happy she was when she got her Octowatch? Yeah :) 10x that. I also imagine their family is full of late bloomers, but because of Dashi she has pretty low expectations for herself right now.

@harmonyowl and @schoute, (and everyone else!) please meet my new seed sibling oc, jonah
→ the babiest seed (but he and john are very close in age, only a year or two apart).
→ has little-to-no memory of his brothers/life pre-foster care, save for the memory of how he got a scar across his eyebrow when he was but a wee bab
→ the memory is vague and blurry, but he remembers an angry man (daddy seed), being in pain and crying, and an older boy (either joseph or jacob) ferrying him away to the bathroom to take care of the injury.
→ was ultimately adopted into a loving family in the small town of kingston, ga.
→ the church his parents attended was a serpent handling church that drank (mildly) poison laced wine for communion
→ his parents were delighted when he took an interest in snake handling and encouraged him to study under the pastor, where he learns he has a particular talent for handling the creatures.
→ at age sixteen the pastor he studied under was found dead surrounded by his snakes. It was ruled an accident, but in actuality, jonah, who was being abused by the pastor, used the snakes to kill the man.
→ he didn’t go to college (though he did think about seminary school), and instead became a traveling preacher, conman, and thief, using milked snakes
→ joe finds him preaching out of a tent in rural georgia. he approaches jonah after a sermon and the two have a lengthy discussion about god and religion, but jonah kind of brushes joe off when he claims to be his brother. “we’re all brothers in christ,” jonah says, and he certainly doesn’t believe joe about the voice.
→ anyway, cut to a few weeks later and jonah is giving a sermon only the snake he usually uses escaped its basket and he has to use one of the unmilked ones. he’s bitten. he feels the venom pump into his veins and it fucking hurts and he falls to the ground in front of his congregation, but in true snake-handler fashion, he refuses any kind of medical attention. he writhes on the ground, frothing at the mouth, speaking in tongues before he seizes one last time and the light seems to leave his eyes.
→ and then a few moments later he bolts back up, coughing up up foamy blood and joseph is right there, propping him up and claiming that what just happened was a miracle, the will of god! but in the quiet after the congregation leaves, joseph tells jonah that he’s been reborn. the conman, liar, and thief he used to be is dead. he was a false prophet before, but now the signs following him and his snake handling are true. and jonah, without any better explanation for what happened, buys into it.
→ after this incident, jonah gives joseph’s words a bit more consideration, and after doing some digging through government records, it’s confirmed they are family, and jonah joins up with joseph and john as they search for jacob.
→ he gives off a lot of cool youth pastor energy that helped eden’s gate fly under the radar for a while, making it seem more family friendly and he ran a lot of sunday school/bible study aimed towards kids for the cult. he generally helped joe appeal to a younger demographic. the pied piper of the cult in a way
→ arguably the most well adjusted of his brothers.
→ only he’s super not, he’s just as unhinged and prone to violence as the rest of them. he just hides it better. a snake in the grass if you will…
→ more like faith in that he doesn’t really use firearms (although jacob definitely taught him how to use one), but he does like to use various poisons and venoms
→ he’s closest with joseph and faith. He’s a little intimidated by jacob but he knows that he’d do anything for him. he and john butt heads a lot but they also have that “only i can insult my brother” kind of dynamic.
→ his main sin is pride, more specifically vainglory/vanity, but he’s also guilty of greed. both these sins are tattooed onto his torso by john
→ i’m inventing a region [name tbd] in hope county that he’s the herald of, either to the east or south of the canon map where there’s a lot of flat land, is kind of scrubby, and filled with horses and snakes.
→ his herald title is “the messenger” but a lot of the resistance refer to him as a snake charmer and snake-oil salesman.
→ his bunker is called “the burrow” and it’s filled with so many snakes.
→ he was heavily inspired by/based off billy st. cyr, a minor character from season 4 of justified, played by joe mazzello (who is also jonah’s face claim)
