I was an octopus, and I had to lead a school of baby octopi through a fun adventure through colored rings. Also, I was a pirate briefly.

just professing my love to the broad category of cephalopods, with octopuses and specifically blanket/dumbo octopuses under there getting extra love. thanks for being at my core, something that is more recognizable as "me" than any name i've been called.

also thank you blue ringed octopus for having tetrodotoxin in your body. if i were to die from it, that would be my best way to go out. not that i plan on it but DAMN thats a cool neurotoxin. also found in a bunch of other things like some pufferfish!

happy valentines day to the entire order Cephalopoda. and to Grimpoteuthis, who got me here and started this journey. xxxx

(i literally named myself bc it sounded kinda like octopus. this isnt even an exaggeration. im so normal about them)

a group of squids is a squad.

What should a group of octopi be called?

An Octopath Traveler Party.

I was in Brian David Gilbert’s house with him and his many, many cats (at least 15). He also had seven large fish tanks filled with at least a dozen angry-looking, blue-ringed octopuses. While I was helping him film a video, we noticed a trail of water from one of the tanks leading away into another room. Two of the cats went to investigate it and I expressed my concern but he told me, “Nah, don’t worry about it.”

So what are YOU doing to procrastinate today? I'm looking up gifs of octopuses walking to find one that's a match for how I visualize my tentacle aliens parading down the spaceship hallways.

("It's not a shambling, dragging-their-bodies kind of walk; they call themselves Strongarms for a reason. Oh, this one's pretty close. Maybe that cartoon...")

Taxonomy Tournament: Cephalopod Finale!

Octopoda. This order is made up of octopuses, predatory marine creatures with eight limbs. Their soft body allows them to squeeze trhough small spaces. They are capable of camouflage and are among the most intelligent animals.

Nautilida. This order is made up of nautilis, which have a unique planispiral shell, and move via jet propulsion. They're morphologically veyr similar to their ancient relatives, and are often called living fossils.
