Welcome to the Squiddle Wiki! Edit

Welcome, Squiddlers and TangleBuds in the making! This wiki is about the television show, Squiddles! Sing-Along. The rules so far are: be respectful and consider the feelings of others, don't make pages about OCs, and don't make pages without talking to our managers, but if something else comes up we won't hesitate to make more specific rules. :D Have fun! Make friends!

Squiddles! Wiki: A Brief History Edit

Squiddles! was a seven-season sing-along television series about a set of octopus-like creatures called, titularly, squiddles. The show was rated TV-Y7 and taught lessons about friendship, acceptance, and the importance of a good therapist.

Squiddles! was shown on a single children's station, Discovery Family, but was canceled in 1980 without a season finale. It is impossible to find the original series online because of its "controversial themes". Examples of these include the implications of "friends with benefits", the lore (relating to a nightmarish Cthulu-Esque mythos and its cult following, dubbed "horrorterrors" by the fanbase), and the blatant LGBTQ+ representation (of course, the only thing wrong with this is that no one in the 80s was openminded enough to accept it! All TangleBuds are welcome in our fandom unless they have a problem with this, in which case talk to one of our leaders so you can understand, or get out). Discovery Family has repeatedly shown that they'd rather forget about the whole... fiasco.

Unfortunately for them, ten years later, Squiddles! was mass revived by the popular webcomic Homestuck, and a massive hunt began for Squiddles! content. Heroic fans (who battled their way through the Wayback, disgruntled secretaries at Discovery Family, and videos with extremely degraded quality) unearthed a story with surprising heart, diversity, and intelligence- one whose story deserved to be remembered, one that had intellectual, analytical merit, buried underneath the squeaky music and strangely squishy animation. One that had genuinely compelling lore. One that should have been rated TV-14 in some parts. As the story was left unfinished, our focus turned from resurrection to developing it on our own. Stories were written, animations were made (the most notorious, and true-to-canon, can be found here), and the Internet's general understanding of Squiddles! blended into what were fandom-made creations. And they are beautiful creations.

This wiki, however, is not about that. This wiki acts as an archive of sorts, storing the largely incomplete information we know about Squiddles!. And we would dearly appreciate your help.
