#big blue octopus

[thoughtlessarse]

Dream team … a big blue octopus (its actual name, although it changes colour) hunts with two collaborators. New research has shown that octopuses, who are usually considered to be solitary creatures, sometimes team up with fish to hunt. Here, a blue goatfish (purple and yellow, on the left) acts as a scout, going ahead to scan for prey. A blacktip grouper (brown and white, centre) acts as the rearguard. ‘Nobody really knew that octopus have this sophisticated social life – not with other octopus, but with other species,’ said study co-author Iain Couzin - Photograph: Eduardo Sampaio/PA

New oc based on an outfit I made in sploon :3

This is Duckie!! They're a lil blue-ring octopus that loves all things ducks, and they main is the new Nautilus 79 :D

They tend not to speak and communicate with rubber duckies, of which they squeak when annoyed and gift to people they like 💖 they also decorate their mask with duck stickers and have duck patches and badges on their jacket

They rarely show their face since they're embarrassed by their prominent facial markings...makes them look like a baby duck tho~

I hope u guys like them!! I'll draw them digital eventually, pen scribbles for now ( ´ ꒳ ` )

As usual, I made celebratory art for getting to top 5% big run. This time it is Tardigrizz giving my octo F the reward since I’m playin the game in simplified Chinese. I also made a drawing for my gf @lensinne since this is her first time doing big run using English version

tbh when it comes to the redesign, if the other ROs can have scars, they ABSOLUTELY have some pretty gnarly scars from miranda.

not even because of her being particularly aggressive either! when she came up to land and began to first realize she can actually get close to people and be affectionate with them for the first time in her life, she had no context on how careful she had to be with landfolk or how rough she couldnt be. adding onto that was that her experience with merfolk were restricted to bellanda too, and she had a habit of just... accidentally grabbing too hard or using her claws or teeth carelessly or just moving without fully checking where everyones limbs are. its just the issue that a playbite for merfolk can be serious lacerations in someone else, and it took... a bit.

which is why now miranda is so constantly careful and hyperaware of how delicately she has to touch everything, because she realized Very Abruptly that she was not like all of her new friends.

(honestly the other ROs who did get bit or clawed are basically over it at this point too. like, it was years ago, and even if they were upset in the moment its hard not to see that miranda clearly didnt want to do that when it happened and has since gotten better about it. hence, why none of them are particularly plussed about when miranda does things that freak other people out, like putting their head in her jaws. yeah yeah, theyve been here, theyve done that, if miranda wanted to hurt them she wouldve done it already, nbd.)

(this is also something that didnt actually happen with the others... scott still can get overexcited and needs to be reminded to pay attention to himself, but also he was already well aware of how to control himself and what was safe by virtue of always having lived around a bunch of different monsters. damien too also figured out pretty early on other peoples limits, as hell is much more open to contacting other people than the merkingdom is. vera had the experience of being raised by the squishier people to begin with.)

It took two months longer than I thought it would cause my hands are super fucked up but i finally finished crocheting the shawl for my sister in law. I just have to weave in all the ends and add the buttons and it'll be good to go
