Finn truly has impeccable taste in men

Look at these dumbasses

How did they trick anyone into thinking there was a single thought in any of their heads

Azul is tall he's 29 cm (about 11 inches?) taller than me 😭

I also hc that he's absolutely fucking massive in octo form, so Finn can fit in his palm lmao. (Also inspired by one artists that drew the tweels wrapping around him like a pair of scarves lmao)

Yeah I feel like Azul would be even bigger than the tweels in his merform, because you know how Ursula literally grew to the size of a fucking SHIP 😭

and OMG QUINN 11 INCHES TALLER 😭😭😭?!?!?! JUST HOW TALL ARE YOU?!?!

[krenenbaker]

I'm also thinking about poly octoquartet (not tweelcest yuck) they're so fjrufjfkisfh

YES OMGG They have such an interesting dynamic! and gosh, yeah, I'm so very not into Jade/Floyd as anything other than strictly familial. they're both great paired with Azul and/or Finn (the lad!!) but just... not with each other ( ´～｀)

[redheadedsilly]

uhhhh @kokii-omii you said that you’d rather be tagged so you don’t miss oc things so uhm

Uhm have Physal Finley

she’s not twisted from anyone, just a silly idea I had. She’s a box jellyfish merwoman, though she doesn’t like it. Back in the coral sea she was feared and avoided due to her not having good control over her tentacles and stinging lots of people on accident. However, she tries to change herself and mannerisms so people like her more.

Here’s a doc I made of her that has most of her details:

Do u think any of your octoquartet would be friends with her??

[kitwasnothere]

Shaking you

Imagine Axel, the most airhead little skrunkly, being the only one to figure out the octoquartet are dating.

That would be really funny imo

kcjsnfd axel looks between jade, floyd, then to boss, then to finn, and the dots connect and hes like ohhh ! :D 👍

and then maybe later he'll ask iris like " sir, how come you aren't like that with lili- "

[distant-velleity]

Nobody:

The octoquartet watching Yu: everybody shut up our show is on

ASDNSHHDSHDJHHSHDHD NO LITERALLY

[thehollowwriter]

What if I made Finn loves moths too. What if he just loves those two specific insects more than anything else in the world huh. What if Azul is seething and grinding his teeth only to realise he's jealous of a fucking moth and the tweels are laughing at him for it (hypocrites)/j

Some Octoquartet hcs cause I haven't given them attention in a while:

•They sometimes have date nights where they watch movies together or play something or just do their own thing together, usually after exams

•When they stay in the dorm during the winter holidays, they take turns cooking food for each other

•Finn and Jade often go on hikes together, Finn's always out of breath really quickly, but he likes spending time with Jade and getting to look at plants and butterflies

•Floyd and Finn often go down to the shore of Sage Island in their spare time to swim together and hunt fish. When they finish, they rest in a cave or a crevice, and Floyd likes to trace Finn's many stretchmarks

•Azul and Finn go on cafe dates under the guise of market research for the lounge, but it's really just a nice way to spend time together, and Finn enjoys seeing how excited Azul gets when it comes to Mostro, and Azul enjoys how happy and delighted Finn is when trying new food

Guys I'm so bad at ship names what do you think the octoquartet's ship name would be

[thehollowwriter]

Finn's tired of hearing "how can you trust hum if they date other people" "Poly's just cheating with extra steps" about Azul or the twins. Give him funny reasons like Ace did that one time. Tell him the tweels are gonna eat him or something.

[thehollowwriter]

Octotrio wonders where their tsums went turned out Finn stole all three of them

[thehollowwriter]

Finn and Silas have many things in common and one of them is falling in love with somewhat spoiled rich guys who are also traumatised. But they also have to be unhinged

Summary: Ace does that thing where he correctly yells everything someone did wrong at them, except this time that someone is Finn and Ace is, in fact, incorrect (there may be some oocness I hope not)

(Pls reblog and leave a comment ❤

Hold Your Tongue

Ace Trappola was Finn Clearcove's favourite underclassman.

Not because he liked him, no that achievement belonged to Chrysos Pendentif, but because he was so ridiculously amusing.

Stubborn, brash and egotistical, he was prime entertainment no matter what he did.

It was fun to watch him behave with such confidence despite being an anenome, grinning or smirking as he waited tables or worked the bar like he'd been doing it all his life.

But behind that incredibly fragile facade cowered a frightened little human teetering on the edge of a complete breakdown.

There were moments where the mask cracked, where a customer would irritate him and his face would twist into a scowl. Moments where he froze up and trembled when he felt Finn's eyes on him. Moments when the twins leered over him and he looked to be seconds away from screaming.

Tonight was one of those times where Ace's facade was threatening to fracture.

It was a slow sleepy night. Customers filtered in and out, filling the air with a soft murmur of tired chatter and only occupying a few tables. It was always like this near the end of the term.

Ace was clearly annoyed at having to be here when it was so empty, probably wishing he was back at his dorm right now.

His face twitched, his large fake customer service smile fraying at the edges as he spoke to his table through tightly clenched teeth.

He was trying so hard to be respectful, poor thing. Finn almost hoped he would snap so he could drink in the chaos that was bound to follow. It would lift him from his bad mood.

Alas, Ace was well behaved for once, and Finn knew it was for a reason. The same reason as always.

When Ace's breaktime came around, Finn sighed, made himself a drink, crossed one leg over the other and waited.

Finn watched as Ace predictably made a beeline towards him with an intense look of determination, leaving Deuce and Grim behind to roll their eyes and watch as he plastered a smile to his face.

God, Finn was running low on patience today. He didn't have the energy to deal with Ace now.

Whenever Ace was on his best behaviour, it inevitably led to him drifting to Finn in some way or another and attempting use him as some sort of... mole? Traitor? Ally?

The boy seemed to be under the impression that Finn was harbouring some kind of hidden resentment towards Azul and the twins that was just waiting to be revealed.

He often implied that Finn was being taken advantage of, mentioning all those times he's been in Azul's office for example.

Every time, Finn had to fight the urge to say "Actually, I'm not working, I'm spending my time kissing Azul breathless" just to see the look of horror on Ace's face.

Ace also tried going out of his way to impress Finn and garner his favour by doing whatever he asked, much to the dismay of his friends.

Why Ace did this in spite of the scare the scare he had during their first encounter, Finn had no idea.

"Hello Finn-senpai!" He greeted cheerily. "How are you this evening?"

"Tired." Finn responded flatly.

"Aw that sucks." Said Ace, voice dripping with fake sympathy. "Y'know I always say you work too hard. Do you ever get a break, really? You're never not working."

Finn took a long sip of his drink and and bit back a laugh. "I appreciate your concern, but I do get my fair share of free time"

Ace's smiled tightened and his eyes twitched.

"Do you, though?" His voice was straining with frustration. "Every time I see you you're working, and every time I ask about you I'm told you're at your club or doing a practical or studying or whatever. Look, I know you've gotten used to being treated like garbage but-"

"Treated like garbage?" Finn questioned, surprised. That was a new way of putting it. "I don't think-"

"Oh for the Queen's sake-" Ace slammed his hands down on the table with a "thwack", causing Finn to jump back in surprise.

"Yes you're treated like garbage!" He shouted. "No free time, no chance to rest! You're just constantly working your ass off! You're always called to the VIP room, in fact you're called there more than any other staff member! And you stay in there for hours!"

"That greedy prick is stealing precious time from you! The twins are almost worse! They're always grabbing at you and pulling you around like a ragdoll! How do you not notice how physical they are with you? It's gross!"

Finn blinked at Ace and bit his lip to hold back a snort. This was that prime entertainment he was waiting for. Ace had some very funny thought patterns.

Yet, even as Finn was visibly half smiling, sipping his drink, and customers and staff alike were turning to stare, Ace continued.

"Your boss is a scummy asshole! He's just using you! You think you matter more to him just because you're not an anenome? You don't!"

Finn let go of the straw. A frown settled onto his face and his eyes narrowed. "Mister Trappola-"

"Damn it, can't you see? You're just letting him use you like he's using the rest of us! He's not kind or benevolent, Finn-senpai, he's a monster! A greedy, selfish monster!"

Any mirth Finn felt toward this little explosion made itself scarce and white hot anger flooded his veins like fiery lava.

"Mister Trappola-" He went to repeat, but Ace cut him off.

"It's the truth! You need to grow a spine, because the twins don't treat you any better! There's no equal ground, they're sickos who treat you like a chewtoy! They-"

Finn lunged forward and grabbed Ace by the throat, pulling him down hard so they were eye to eye, faces inches apart.

"Mister Trappola, I will warn you only once," Finn spoke even softer than usual, his voice quivering slightly. "If you don't shut your mouth I swear to the Sea Witch I will make you wish Azul punished you instead."

All the passion fuelling Ace's liveliness vanished in an instant, draining from his face until he was white as a sheet.

"I- I-"

"You should thank the stars right now we are on land an not below the surface, otherwise I would be tearing your tongue from your mouth." Finn dug his fingers into Ace's Adam's apple, wishing beyond anything he had his claws and not these useless short nails.

"I will not tolerate you insulting my-" The word 'boyfriends' lingered on the tip of his tongue. "-business partners and spewing nonsense about things you don't understand. Do you truly take me for a fool who does whatever Azul tells me to without demanding payment?"

Ace stammered and shook his head wildly, muttering apologies and mumbling some excuse or other.

Seven why couldn't he just bite his face? Why did land have so many rules against violence?

"Oi, the hell's going on here?"

If Ace went any paler, surely he would faint. In fact, he looked to be on the verge of doing so when he turned his head to see Floyd and Jade Leech standing side by side, staring at him.

"Is Crabby botherin' ya, Finn?"

Every single time Ace prodded at Finn for a favour, Floyd came over and asked this question. Every single time, Finn told him no and shooed him away. This time however, the shark slowly nodded

"Y-Yes. Yes he is."

"My my, how rude of you, Ace-san." Jade purred snatching the anenome on Ace's head and yanking it.

"Harassing our dear Finn and insulting us and Azul at the same time? I'll see to it that your dorm leader is informed and you are given a suitable punishment. Do you have anything in mind, Finn?"

Finn shook his head. What he had in mind would end poorly for them all.

"Alright, then. Azul shall decide." Jade pulled at the anenome again and Ace shrieked in pain, clawing at Jade's hand in a desperate attempt to get away as he was dragged to the VIP room.

Finn watched them go, his face bright red. Blood rushed I his ears, he panted heavily, his hands wouldn't stop shaking, his stomach churned.

People insulted his partners all the time. This sort of thought process wasn't anything new. Same old same old.

So why was he so angry?

Why did he feel so sick?

Finn's legs decided they didn't want to hold him up anymore and he collapsed against Floyd's side.

"Woah- shit, what's wrong?" Floyd grabbed him by the arms to steady him, his brow furrowed in concern. He watched as Finn opened and closed his mouth wordlessly, gripping Floyd's suit jacket tightly.

Floyd shifted his gaze to the door of the VIP room and a low growl rose from the back of his throat

"I'm gonna fucking kill him."

......................................

A/N: This was a short one, but I hope you all enjoyed Finn losing his temper a bit ehehe (and hopefully this wasn't too ooc).

Adult octoquartet shenanigans...

[thehollowwriter]

Not enough people know about Finn and his unhinged boyfriends I fear/j

[theleechyskrunkly]

Help I love how Aurinelle figured out the octoquartet'a relationship (and can see how whipped the trio is for Finn lol)

As I said, Aurinelle is not easily deceived (and Azul obvious favor towards Finn made it infinitely more obvious 😭)

He's very attentive and catches on to tiny details pretty easy. In the abyss, attention to detail could be the difference between a successful hunt and a failed one :)
