Octopus - Tumblr Posts

The Little Mermaid
Very excited for the upcoming Splatfest (Inkling vs. Octoling)! I bought a Switch recently (and immediately got my power station stolen, yay) after @unu-nunu-art infected me with Splatoon xD
So I couldn’t resist taking the ask and drawing to that. (Ink’s rainbow colour is Unu’s idea xD )
Ink can you be a squid like splatoon



WHY STOP AT INK? LET’S MAKE ERROR A SQUID, TOO!





Happy pride month!!!
I wanted to paint something that makes me happy for pride, and tiny watercolor octopods do the trick :D
I stuck with the 4 basic groups of LGBT (+ ace, bc I’m ace :>), but I would love to paint more! So if you’d like to see a specific flag painted in octopus, leave me an ask or reblog it with your request and I’ll add on to this post!
“These animals are phantoms as well as monsters. They are, because they exist; if they were not, reason would be justified. They are the amphibia of death. Their improbability complicates their existence. They border on the human frontier, and people the region of Chimeras. You deny the vampire, the octopus appears. Their swarming is a certainty which disconcerts our assurance. Optimism, which is the truth, nevertheless almost loses countenance before them.”
— Victor Hugo, still completely losing what little chill he possessed over the existence of the octopus. (via pilferingapples)
The wonderful Glass Octopus. Living at depths of around 3000 ft and only being about a foot long, these strange little creatures are rarely seen by scientists.




Polvo do Humor em pixel art.




Cutie-pie of the sea (x)
*Update: this is not a real octopus but a spy bot for research. In a BBC vid(here), the spy bot helps an octopus to protect itself from sharks.

Sometimes they remind me of him so much that my chest tightens.
Not trapped in a vise but like some animal inside of it is clinging to my ribs and pulling
Maybe it's an octopus
Yeah, I think it's an octopus
They can get out of anything if they want to.
The creature in my chest could leave if it so desired.
There are other small places to hide, you know. There is no need to pull my chest inward until it collapses. Until my lungs give in. Give out.
And the suckers
They cling to everything
I see pieces of him in them, and I need to hold them closer. To not let go. To keep them safe. please.
"there's no escape from the friendship", i joke, as the octopus wraps her tendrils around my esophagus
Bile rises despite the pressure
I wonder if I will spend the rest of my days like this
An octopus in my chest, searching for glimmers of who I can never get back.
