R.I.P Cuttlefish, two days after Valentines Day.

"Gah! Absolutely not! I like my ten limbs where they are, sport." He snorts, "Give it another hundred, then I'll try."

"Gah! Absolutely not! I like my ten limbs where they are, sport." He snorts, "Give it another hundred, then I'll try."

"...Craig. I'm not a counselor for couples therapy, so hiring me... does not count as therapy. Gramps, I think it's time to actually talk to Octavio."

[cuttlefishd]

"I'll have you know, sport, I've been divorced a hundred years! Time for therapy's long gone, HA!"

@cuttlefishd

"Craig... was I helping you get through a divorce? This entire time?"

Turns out I really like DJ War Crimes and his weird little relationship with the Cuttlefish family. Drawing that last one was a mistake cause it made me think of my own grandpa and I got emotional over my drawing tablet would not recommend.

"I remember when they invented chocolate."

"I always hated it, HA!"

“Some people deserve shooting.” - @ourple-octoling , he's talking about O.R.C.A and the after Alterna mission. Maybe. He is mad though!!!

agatha christie starters // accepting.

"Now, I'm not one ta argue with ya-"

Craig Cuttlefish knows that bit's a lie. He loves a good argument, same as anyone else! But that was more about silly things, like what to have for supper or wether his ties actually matched the rest of his outfit. This kind of argument, though, that was rarer.

"-I just don't think that's the kinda fight ya can win, sport. Cut your losses for a bit, take a break, all that jazz. Sides, I don't think that O.R.C.A can be shot."

𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐄'𝐒 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒 (a collection of prompts from the TV show “Agatha Christie’s Marple”, feel free to adjust phrasing and gendered terms as necessary)    

“You have ice in your heart.”

“All our dreams… Where did they go?”

“You’re a bit unhinged, aren’t you?”

“Don’t be nosy. It’s private.”

“Don’t be so melodramatic.”

“Hello! You’re awfully pretty!”

“Oh, I detest change!”

“I like your insolence.”

“Don’t push me. We’ll both fall.”

“Strangling is a very quiet death.”

“Some people deserve shooting.”

“Only death solves all problems.”

“Maybe he/she didn’t want to kiss you?”

“Have you ever known me to be wrong?”

“We all get a little ruffled sometimes, don’t we?”

“There’s something about nuns, don’t you think?”

“Such a refreshingly low opinion of human nature!”

“Little lies make me wonder if big ones will follow.”

“I’m just impatient, that’s all. Don’t you ever get impatient?”

“You are capable of murder. I’ve always known that about you.”

“Murder is easy, you see, as long as nobody thinks it is murder.”

“An expert in romance as well, are you? I didn’t think you were the type.”

“Fornication always has consequences, but I don’t think we should jump to any conclusions.”

“Contacting the spirits on a night like tonight would be so exciting, don’t you think?”

“What a beautiful blue! Just like your eyes… If they weren’t brown.”

“This house is bricks and mortar. If there’s evil here, it’s in someone’s heart.”

“When I first saw you it took my breath away, and it hasn’t come back yet.”

“What’s the quote? Nothing is… Nothing is ever… Oh, I was useless at literature.”

“Don’t worry, I used to be a medic. I still remember most of it.”

“You’re having an affair, aren’t you? You’re having an affair!”

“No, I don’t suppose I’d call myself a people person. I’m rather more interested in birds, actually.”

ough. old man fluff

anyways.

some basic ideas i've had:

Cuttlefish's cooky silliness is mostly used to help new Agents feel at ease with him, and to make sure that Callie and Marie don't worry too much about him.

Callie and Marie's parents were adopted by him, as opposed to being birth children ( he adopted them when was about 70, thus the incredibly large age gap between the generations )

We're dropping that "Cuttlefish calling the Octarians 'octos'" Shit. That was added in the English version of the game and just feels vastly uncomfortable.

In the JPN version of OE, Cuttlefish expresses worries about Marina being from the army, not her being an Octoling. Basically, as much as I use the racism metaphor on my other blog, Cuttlefish being racist isn't... like. good characterization? It's boring. Traumatized and quick to judge, I'll take that and run with it.
