HAPPY WORLD OCTOPUS DAY EVERYONE

OCTOPUSES ARE PRETTY GREAT




DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE OVER 300 SPECIES OF OCTOPUS AND THAT THEY'RE ALL POISONOUS BUT ONLY ONE KIND IS DEADLY TO HUMANS



AND OCTOPUSES ARE REALLY SMART THEY'RE KIND OF HARD TO KEEP CONTAINED IN AQUARIUMS SOMETIMES AND THEY'RE REALLY GOOD CONVERSATIONALISTS EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN'T REALLY HAD MUCH OF A CHANCE TO TALK WITH ANY THE ONES I DID GET TO TALK TO WERE ALL AT THE BEACH AND ALL PRETTY GREAT ONE EVEN HELPED ME GIVE SOME GUY WHO WAS GIVING SOME OTHER GUY A HARD TIME A WEDGIE



ALSO THEY CAN CHANGE THEIR COLOR AND SKIN TEXTURE FOR CAMOUFLAGE IT IS PRETTY OUTRAGEOUS



THEY'RE 90% MUSCLE SO THEY'RE ACTUALLY REALLY STRONG AND STUFF



THEY CAN ALSO SQUIRT INK TO CONFUSE PREDATORS IT IS A USEFUL SKILL

AND LOOK AT THIS BABY ONE HATCHING ISN'T IT ADORABLE

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT THEY HAVE THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS AND EVERYTHING

EVEN WORSE THAN EATING JUST A NORMAL FISH

[wannabered]

Wait, you've talked to octopi?

[This is really relevant to Thomas because he's always found their intelligence to be sort of scary.]

Also I have to back up Bakura here, they are delicious.

[italktofish]

YES I HAVE TALKED TO THEM THEY'RE PRETTY SMART JUST AS GREAT TO TALK TO AS DOLPHINS

NO NO NO OCTOPUSES ARE FRIENDS NOT FOOD I MEAN LOOK AT THEM THEY DON'T EVEN LOOK GOOD ANYWAY WITH ALL THOSE TENTACLES EVERYWHERE AND EVEN THEN THEY ARE SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IT'S NOT LIKE LOBSTERS OR OTHER FISH

Happy world octopus day!! [ he had no idea such a day existed, but hey! ] Those are pretty cute. Well maybe not the third one lol

[text]

[italktofish]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND THE SAME TO YOU TOO

THE THIRD ONE IS MORE MAJESTIC THAN CUTE BUT CUTE IS AN EASIER SELL AS FAR AS PROMOTING GOOD RELATIONS BETWEEN THE PEOPLE OF THE NETWORK AND OTHER OCTOPUSES

text; oh the things i look up for rp

[ladyofluminosity]

Did you also know that they have blue blood? Fascinating!

text; I know this feeling quite well

[italktofish]

AND THEY HAVE THREE HEARTS WITH WHICH TO PUMP THAT OUTRAGEOUS BLUE BLOOD TRULY AMAZING CREATURES

[Video]

[destinedforrock]

[This entire message has a much different effect when viewed on water - Cinderella is actually somewhat genuinely mystified if disturbed by the shapes of the little beasties, with their definitely not land-fit shapes, snaky limbs, big bug eyes... Little grimace on the second to the last one; certainly creepily lit.

On the very last one and the comment above it:] It's. See-through.

[Video]

[italktofish]

I know! Isn't it OUTRAGEOUS! It'll get more opaque as it gets older! And when it does, it'll have AMAZING abilities at camouflage!

[Arthur's excitement over these creatures is absolutely palpable; he's bouncing up and down a little.]

[mood2wiingiing]

did you seriously just spam octopus pictures at us?

text

[italktofish]

ONLY BECAUSE THEY ARE AWESOME

AND TODAY IS THEIR DAY

WORLD OCTOPUS DAY

text

[neopianangst]

I didn't know there was an Octopus Day...

I like Octopi a lot, though.

[But wow why can so many people speak to animals but not him?!]

text

[italktofish]

I DID NOT KNOW OF IT EITHER UNTIL IT CAME UP DURING MY RANDOM INTERNET SURFING TODAY BUT IT IS A DAY WELL WORTH CELEBRATING

IF YOU LIKE THEM A LOT THEN YOU HAVE FINE TASTE MY FRIEND

text;

[eras]

oh my gosh they're all so cute!!!!
i didn't know there was an octopus day
perhaps i should celebrate somehow

text;

[italktofish]

I THINK IT IS A NEW HOLIDAY BUT IT IS DEFINITELY WORTH CELEBRATING NOT THAT I KNOW HOW TO DO THAT OTHER THAN TO GO ON AND ON ABOUT HOW OUTRAGEOUS THEY ARE

[ursoreckless]

You're starting to put me off my people's main food source. [he's so pouting at you. POUTING.]

[italktofish]

But maybe they could find a DIFFERENT food source! One that isn't as cute and OUTRAGEOUS!

text

[soulsborderline]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Don't worry, if she was actually freaked out she'd post a video yelling at you. She's just kind of disturbed here.]

text

[italktofish]

WHAT IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG

THEY ARE JUST PICTURES OF OCTOPUSES NOTHING TO GET WORKED UP ABOUT

[Voice]

[dododo]

Ah, yes, truly remarkable creatures.

[Voice]

[italktofish]

They really are, aren't they? GREAT conversationalists, too!

[epimethean]

?????

[italktofish]

I AM SHARING THE GLORY OF WORLD OCTOPUS DAY WITH YOU ALL

[vetala]

You are as enthusiastic about sea life as I am about insect life... [c:]

[italktofish]

It's a great thing to be enthusiastic about!

And bugs aren't bad, either--I can talk to silverfish! See, fish are fish, even if they're bugs!

text;

[unimpressive]

there's a world octopus day???

[Well, sure, why not]

you don't EAT them on world octopus day, do you?

text;

[italktofish]

NO OF COURSE YOU DO NOT EAT THEM YOU SIMPLY CELEBRATE THEM AND APPRECIATE THEIR OUTRAGEOUS MAJESTY WITHOUT CONSUMING THEM

EATING THEM IS A NO NO THEY DO NOT APPRECIATE BEING EATEN DON'T DO THINGS OCTOPUSES DON'T APPRECIATE ON THE DAY THEY SHOULD BE APPRECIATED

text;

[waltharius]

[ HE'S ACTUALLY TAKING A FEW NOTES what a nerd ]

They... talk to you?

[ He should've expected this after the whole bathtub thing but NOPE STILL WEIRD ]

text;

[italktofish]

THEY, ALONG WITH ALL AQUATIC LIFE, SURE DO TALK TO ME IT IS PRETTY OUTRAGEOUS FIRST SPECIAL THING I'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO WITH THIS NUMBERS STUFF AND I DON'T REGRET IT BEST ABILITY EVER

[handwritten]

[moarnomsplz]

I admit they're pretty cool but they still freak me out. Too much like slugs!

[Text]

[italktofish]

BUT THEY'RE SO MUCH MORE INTELLIGENT THAN SLUGS AND SLUGS DON'T HAVE TENTACLES IT'S NOT LIKE THEY CAN DO MUCH

text

[ex_purity762]

I didn't realize there was an octopus day.

That's pretty great.

text

[italktofish]

I KNOW RIGHT

IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT MAKES LIFE WORTH LIVING THE LITTLE THINGS LIKE WORLD OCTOPUS DAY
