Chris gets to be a race horse because I said so. 83

Chris carrying his big brother who probably had a nightmare or something around. I have no idea what point in the story this kind of thing would take place but probably later on when they’re both thoroughly sick of being apart. plus when ur little brother can carry ya around no issue u gotta take advantage.

also Chris’s wings get smaller every time I draw them and while it’s intentional I think it’s funny

⚠️Beware of this person who steals art⚠️

ORIGINAL: ⬇️

It already happened to @vazaez, it's not fair that it happens to someone who really tried hard to do something original. I draw too and nobody deserves to have their art so blatantly plagiarized.

why was there always so much mud in animal junction?

I think it’s interesting how they’re both Y7 but have completely diff views

Nobody asked but my thoughts about these are below + a clip from a wk episode about it

Octonauts’ setting is a double edged sword- because they give every organism a voice, they can make people empathize with bacteria, coral, and other things people forget to see as living beings. However, that also means they portray consumers/predators as the bad guys, even when they try not to have a bias. Which means for when the urchins had to be eaten, they couldn’t be portrayed as alive (or at least at the same level of consciousness as other animals).

For the record, I do think their setting of making every animal talk is good for helping others understand issues a species might face, especially for man-made causes like pollution and climate change which the show covers. it’s definitely something I think should be taught bc I still know a lot of people my age or older who end up mistreating animals simply because they don’t communicate in the same way we do.

On the flip side, Wk uses predator/prey relationships to show off the different abilities an animal has. I was honestly very surprised with how they handled the topic of death? For a couple animals, their life cycle is taught by following a particular individual of the species, from the start of their journey to the day they die. And even though they passed on, their offspring can continue the journey their parents started. I think that’s a good way to look at it imo. Every animal has a role, and even in death their life is not wasted. They even bring up the fact it can be dangerous to be a predator, since prey animals have developed a bunch of defense mechanisms, and losing to those could mean dying. I’m glad they cover death along with life, and they handle it well considering it’s a tricky subject esp for a younger audience. I think it can be summarized well in this clip from the king cobra episode

They also touch on it in the episode where kid musky is introduced (forgot the name but Chris basically goes on a monologue abt the human perspective on prey/predator relationships and how hard it can be to watch. I thought that was neat)

That being said: I do think sometimes the deaths are a little mean, and the fact they’re so comfortable with it after s1 sort of gives you a shock when you remember the rating. Like we JUST met and named the snake in the clip and then bro dies🫡 not to mention the life cycle episodes getting us attached to an animal for 22 minutes and then they die at the end. Juice’s death was even played for comedic effect (at least I think it was. It made me laugh. Maybe that’s just me LMAO)

TLDR: both methods are good for diff aspects of wildlife education but I think wk handles it in a better way esp when they consider the fact that humans are outsiders to it. Send post

I live for these images

Z- Hurry up, it's gonna eat us!

G- Oh, hush, it's not even full grown!

Wanted to try drawing something in the show style. I don't think they get enough episodes just the two of them, and it's funny to imagine Zachary Bennett switching voices for their conversations.

The hold is based off of the Komodo dragon episode.

Chrizach but make it lions.

YES YES YES

Donita Donata🪡🧵

finished up a couple of doodles from last night. I always interpreted her to be a little older than the rest of the cast (assuming that most of them are like, mid twenties-ish)

[sham-friend]

nothing more true than this. i feel this is the only correct answer

Martin should have a dad bod BECAUSE...it looks cooler, and it (in my humble opinion) brings out his fatherly behavior (when it comes to baby animals mf is like the dad figure of all baby animals he meets) and his goofy personality, like he'd honestly be that cool and funny uncle

Plus....irl martin got a dad bod and he looks so adorable...baahhh, he looks so friend shape even the most angriest person would be comfortable around his presence

I made these wallpapers, they are simple but understandable

yah know, some food for thought:

the two episodes where the brothers floss (the dance) were written by chris

interpret that as you wish...

[sham-friend]

please, let him shake ass! I am begging you !!

[sham-friend]

*sigh* I just watched the poison frog episode and I have an insane thought..

chris is a total club kid. like, the whole nine yards. he loves going out and dressing up. the people he meets are so interesting, and the relief he feels just getting to move his body and dance? only thing that comes close is reaching the peak of a mountain.

of course, he enjoys the other side of club kid life *cough, cough* but who can blame him

but he would NEVER let the rest of the team know. its just his little thing to let go of some tension and reset.

Been thinking about the "9 months of making me suffer just to look like their DAD" meme but it's the Duplicator, Martin, and Blair
