The Logbook Pt. 2

Everyone's Cultures and Traditions

A/N- I know it's the 4th of July (Independence Day in the US) But due to the state of things in the US now, I don't feel like celebrating, So let's make this about the world instead.

All the Octonauts come from many countries and many cultures, and they all love each others' countries and traditions so much.

The Captain is British, but his family lives in the Arctic. Because he's lived in the Arctic and has met many other polar bears from many different countries, he's learned a handful of different words from different languages such as Norwegian, Canadian French, Russian, Icelandic, etc.

Kwazii is British as well, and he is from Cockney London, hence his accent. He knows a smattering of German and Spanish from Peso, Dashi, and their little siblings. He knows enough Spanish to tell Peso, "I love you, me little buddy" in Spanish, and he knows just enough German to tell Pinto that he's tiny and cute.

Peso's family is from Argentina, so he and Pinto speak fluent Spanish. The Captain is so interested in everything his little boys have to say about their country and will listen to their stories and look at all their pictures of Argentina.

Shellington is Scottish (obviously). He's been forced to wear a kilt before and he's heard bagpipes before. He wasn't the biggest fan of either of them.

Dashi's father is from Germany and her mother is from Iceland. She definitely is more of a German girl than an Icelandic girl. Her grandmother on her father's side immigrated from the Swabia region in Germany, so along with knowing Standard German, she also knows the Swabian dialect.

Inkling is definitely 100% British. He's got the accent, the love for tea, etc. The kids often like to make fun of him for it, which he always responds to be nicely offering to play them opera music, and then they run for it.

Tweak is a Southern gal, but instead of being a "dainty Southern belle" she's a tough, gutsy tomboy with the softest heart imaginable. She loves Independence Day fireworks since she was a little bunny when her father would take her to different cities/towns across Florida to see all the firework shows, and she loved every moment, especially when her father put her on his shoulders and she pretended to try and "catch" the fireworks.

The baby Vegimals don't have a nationality, nor do they care about others'. If you were to ask the cuties what everyone's nationalities were, they would say "they Octonauts!" And would give everyone a hug cos they "love them so much"
