#octopus project

[mcbadger]

need to brag about my current project bc it's turning out very cool

I'm making a giant stuffed octopus, got 6m of fabric (needed slightly less than 5m) cut out the pieces and have now tie-dyed, hesitant about the results but !!!!

this is a quarter of the pieces, it's going to be ve so big, I'm quite worried about the price of stuffing.

these guys (common octopus) are the inspiration and i think it turned out well, the blue might be a bit more vibrant than i hoped but it's octopuses, they do stuff like that.

AUSTIN PSYCH FEST Announces 2025 Lineup: Dinosaur Jr, Kim Gordon, Explosions in the Sky, Darkside, Yo La Tengo & More

Austin Psych Fest 2025 brings another slate of indie rock icons, experimental rock and tripped-out sounds – from shoegaze to psychedelic rock and cumbia – to the big South Austin backyard at The Far Out Lounge. The event has always taken an expansive interpretation of psychedelia, exploring the outer edges of the musical spectrum that continue to be informed and inspired by 1960s sonic…

project sekai movie has really got me emotional like yes hatsune miku is a collective yes she exists in many different forms and different locations at the same time yes she wouldn’t be here without the art that every single producer/ilustrator/writer/etc has poured into her yes we are the only thing keeping her alive. also sometimes they use squid to make instant octopus ramen

HEY! Do you guys like squid biology? creature headcanons? cool art? well BOY do I have the document for you~~!

It is with great pleasure to show off this absolute chonker of an art/writing project; The Mollusc Era! BEHOLD, MY MAGNUM OPUS!

In this document I go over the intricacies of various cephalopods; Inklings, Octolings, Cuttlings and even the Nautilus! The entire study is illustrated by yours truly, so there's plenty of pretty pictures to gawk at as well as pages upon pages of my concentrated autism ramblings to pour over if that's also your thing. Enjoy!

I’ve also included a Legacy Version of the document: a much older, unfinished version complete with ancient-ass art from mid last year in all of its poorly-rendered glory. A lot of the information in there is also outdated and poorly written, so good luck with that. yuck.

I recommend viewing both of these on desktop as the formatting seems to work best on there. You're more than welcome to use any of the info in there for whatever you like, if you're gonna use my art please credit me though! cheers!

Octopus, like all other cephalopods, are always a personal favourite. Wish I had a strobe.

just got the most insane piece of fanmail what the fuck. why is this child learning local human language from my radio show. in the middle of the fucking ocean. apparently they can’t pick anything else up that isn’t the occasional raven station but like i feel like i have some sort of responsibility to not teach this kid how to say fuck every five seconds.

#text #its probably too late tbh #if the kid is seeing this. get off of tumblr

does anyone know how human symbiosis works i saved this guys life right after his cat friend died and i think he is getting attached. or something.

🚧 mazemaster follow

ur not a dog or cat ur fine.

🦋 lonesomedreamer

it’s a common misconception, but humans can actually form symbiotic bonds with any sapient creature, actually! the relationship mostly helps with their social and mental requirements, and if there are enough humans in an area to form a community, they’re actually not at all reliant on forming interspecies symbiotic relationships! doesn’t really happen where i’m from though, i think last i heard there are maybe 6 humans in the area max 😅

op i appreciate the button for humans in theory but are you under the impression that we don't show up in our own creation myths???

do you think they had discourse like this pre climate disaster like it was just humans at that point how bad could it rly be

[puppetmaster13u]

Well, Mermay is almost done buuut, Aquatic batfam is always lovely. So which would you be fine hearing me ramble about-slash-work on the Oneshots lol

Eel Mer-   Eeels. Long wriggly friends. Now with apposable thumbs! And Bruce's growing adoption problem- and a slight family curse but shhh.

Merfolk-   I mean, fish! A mixture of modern and fantasy with the merfolk of Gotham waters being cryptids compared to the rest of the seas. The bats think it's hilarious.

Octopus Mer-   Octopi are fun. And you ever see the videos of octopus continuously escaping their tanks? Imagine if the octopi were vigilantes with weapons. Yeaah...

Crabtaur-  Lazarus crabs? Lazarus crabs! And a curse to them all that they have to work around in their day to day lives.

Nudibranch-   Sea Slugs? Indeed. And a lot of them poisonous and using the poisons in their work- along with messing with each other.

Mershark-   Sharks! Includes Flashpoint-esque Thomas being a murder grandpa and past AlfredxMarthaxThomas, along with Bruce being less murderous

Kraken-   Squids. Think giant merfolk but well, giant squids. Fantasy-esque AU with Gotham being the largest population of pirates & crime on the seas.

Sea Dragon- Sea serpents mixed with seahorses and a bit more. Includes the kids being bio-kids via blood ritual and a couple galas. Also some shapeshifting.

Some more of the little octopi that I shared yesterday because I love how these turned out, and they feel so nice just sitting in the palm of your hand~ <3

These were both made using fingering weight SW merino wool yarn. I still have a bunch of mini skeins left from thrift shopping that I'm not sure what to do with, so let me know if you want to see these guys in a different color. :)
