Arp my beloved
Got bored, went to the river, destroyed some dried clay deposits in a bag with a mallet, turned that clay into sculpt-able clay, made an Arp from Castle Swimmer for a future cosplay, gave him some googly eyes
Proof and stuff - got my lil signature on his bottom side and the clay unpainted (he had to get a seal-coat of mod podge cuz his gills were unstable and one broke off)

firstly your pfp is hilarious, I love the face Arp is making! Second, your bird comic sounds really cool and exciting! I know Castle Swimmer is not finished yet so it may not be definite, but when and on what platform would the bird one come out?
My current plan is once I finish castle swimmer, I’m gonna start working on the bird boy comic right away and I’ll be posting it everywhere.
I would like to not have my next comic be an original and just fund it using Patreon so I’ll be posting it for free on webtoon canvas, tapas, and its own separate website. Thank you for the interest! :)

CASTLE SWIMMER
hi! sorry I died for a bit. anyways, i'm back and have severe Castle Swimmer brainrot. so, have some headcanons and look forward to some ficlets or maybe a drabble in the near future!
Kappa
Absolute regressor. Barely got a childhood with the constant responsibility of fufilling prophecies so he definitely regresses to cope with that and just the stress/responsibility of being the Beacon.
Barely any gear because he's constantly drifting in and out of places. tried really hard to hold onto things. Made the mistake of getting attached to a stuffed animal more than once, but always ends up losing them in transit one way or another. At this point he actively deprives himself of gear out of fear of it getting lost again, but sometimes he dreams about the times he used to have a pacifier or a sippy cup.
Usually regresses pretty young, like older baby to older toddler at best. (3-9 years old) Likes a lot of hands on activities and movement, since most of his fun when little is playing pretend. Sometimes the fish will tell him stories, especially if he's having trouble sleeping.
Arp/Worm acts like a caregiver if/when he gets too little, but there's only so much he can do.
The Evil Witches found out after he had a nightmare and woke up inconsolable. They offer to take care of him, Mucku especially since misses taking care of people. He loves watching little shows Mono puts on for him with her magic, and even Nethimir clearly has a soft spot for him.
At one point while traveling looking for Ogo they surprise him with gear they've either made/stolen for him and he actually cries because its the first bit of gear he's had in months. They try to spoil him as much as they can from then on out.
When he was trapped in the Sharks' dungeon he woke up regressed and scared more than once, especially early on. Eventually, about a week and a half in, Siren found him one day. Kappa was clearly super out of it and at first Siren was super worried that Kappa was dying or that Siren had prolonged the prophecy too long and now it was taking matters into its own hands. But kappa tried his best to explain that he was fine and eventually Siren was at least convinced that Kappa wasn't dying.
He tried to be softer with Kappa, even if he didn't know what was going on, and brought him things. Scrolls, some shells and objects, anything to entertain the boy who was clearly restless being trapped in a cage alone for over a week. Eventually he brought out some old toys of his. Pathetic little things, an old rattle, a spinning top and some other bits and bobs he'd found abandoned at the back of his closet. He'd originally brought them as a bit of a sheepish joke, he didn't have a lot of drawings of him as a child so he figured this was the closest piece of his childhood Kappa could get.
What he didn't expect is the way Kappa's eyes lit up, mesmerized by the simple toys. Kappa was so happy he could barely contain his excitement, hands practically shaking. He and Siren played with the toys all day, and even when Siren had to return them to his closet, and report back to his mother, he left Kappa with one. The small rattle. As it was clearly the boy's favorite.
The next morning, when Kappa woke up, he told Siren everything. Explained regression to him, told him why he regressed and the ins and outs. When he got to the part about caregivers he trailed off, explaining that he never really had anyone in his life to look out for him like that.
Siren, of course, immediately, albeit shyly, offered himself up. Before remembering their current dilemma. Siren vowed that at least during the time Kappa was here, he'd be the best caretaker he could be for Kappa, and he absolutely followed through.
Siren was by his side almost constantly, and always knew when Kappa was little. He picked up on ever tell, the way he'd get quieter and more reserved, the way he'd be even gigglier. Siren was, for all intents and purposes, everything Kappa had dreamed of.
When they parted ways, Kappa was devastated. In face, until he met the 3 witches he didn't regress after he left Siren. Even when he woke up from nightmares, scared and little, he'd push it down. Ignoring every desire to regress no matter how much it hurt.
Now that he's back with Siren though, he regresses super regularly. Almost every night. Between Siren, Mucku, Nethimir, and Mono, Kappa has all the love, toys, and attention he could want. And he loves every second of it.
I realized this post is too long so have these for now and I'll try to drop some more when I get a chance!

WEBTOON’s Castle Swimmer Voice Headcanons
We all love our gay fishes Kappa, Siren, Worm/Arp, Queens Nee and Krilli and the Octalia Witches, Mono, Mucku and Queen Nethimir… and that cutie Galoo (I love her and her sea rabbit design so much 🥰🤩😁.) I am sure we have all imagined what their voices would sound like. So please reblog this with any voice headcanons for these actors; what they sound like or who you think could play them.

Plushies!
@heckitall I had this weighted axolotl plush for at least a year and a half before I joined the ROTTMNT fandom; I wanted to share him here. His name is 'Arp' :D
Shoutouts: Arp is from @axolandfriends and I named him after an awesome character in @wendylianmartin's Castle Swimmer!
Side note: If you decide to get another one from their shop, be careful about flights. The beads inside of Arp caused enough security problems for me at the airport that I was worried I would be forced to fly without him! 😬
Luckily Arp is still safe and sound with me now!
