Boothill and feeling like a stranger in his own body

Does he sometimes experience depersonalisation and a complete mental disconnect from the new parts of his body? Does he sometimes look in a mirror and logically recognise himself but at the same time he can't help but feel on edge, because that's not him in his entirety. At least it wasn't at some point.

Would he experience phantom sensations and pain in the parts that were replaced with technology?

How would his interoception function? Would he have a heightened sense of exactly what is going on in his body, or would there have to be some barrier between his conscious mind and the sensory devices that monitor internal functions because the human mind simply was never made to process that amount of information. I'm leaning towards the last option, I don't think anyone would be able to stay sane if they were constantly aware of what their internal parts (organic or not) were doing. Would he even need pain reception from the parts of his body that are mechanical, or do those parts break under stress?

How uncomfortable is it to be in a body with different limits than what you'd be used to? I'm thinking about things like hand and finger mobility, think about it. If you try to push a joint in the wrong direction, your body will stop you by either restricting how much force you can exert either the other hand or tell you "hey this fucking hurts" which will also lead to stopping (I hope lmao). But with a robotic body that wouldn't be necessary because the joints might be hinged differently and able to bend both forward and back, idk why they would but they could. Would his brain go "oh fuck" when he sees that because rationally the mind would expect the same limitations as are imposed on a human? I'm tempted to say yes, because the mind is usually pretty set in its ways.

How fucking uncomfortable must it be to have a body that is designed to transcend what your mind can comprehend? Incredibly, I think. Overall doesn't sound like a lot of fun. Boothill seems fun, I want more Boothill.

We all know Jujutsu Kaisen is far from being a romance manga, heck even I myself know that and I'm not all about ships ftr! But just let me get this one out. Both Kenjaku and Sukuna never understood what love is, much less to have been in one. Even the idea of a "family" would never exist in their minds. Kaori Itadori's case doesn't count 'cause that's purely BUSINESS!

Back then we got the ded Suguru fighting back from within, against Kenjaku. And now we gots Megumi (also) fighting back from within, against Sukuna.

Will these two b*tchless villains finally realize that "pure love" will emerge victorious?

how long do you think he took to figure it out

[plesiosaurys]

getting emotional over footage of an amateur scuba diver interacting with a coelacanth. they are hunted by large deepwater predators, and here comes a large creature bearing the brightest lights it's ever seen, making strange noises, but it does not shy away. it hovers, calmly, as the diver reaches out and trails a hand down its back. im strongly against the anthropomorphizing of real life animals but the stupid emotional part of me loudly insists this is because it recognizes us, the alternating movements of its four paired limbs matching the diver's four paired limbs, & it is thinking, "hello, cousins, we missed you these 66 million years, it's so good to see you again. welcome back, welcome home."

Octomer Baby Development: A guide for new parents (Part 1)

Parenthood can be as fulfilling as it is challenging, and for new parents, this may seem like a daunting task to make. But with the help of this handbook, you will be walked over all there is to know about the newest member of your family and how to take care of them.

PHASE 1—THE EGG:

0-2 months:

The egg has just been laid. Roughly about the size of a bead. Though coloring may vary, most octomer eggs look transluscent with a bright colored center, in which the embryo is located.

Unlike octopuses, octomers only lay one or two viable eggs per mating cycle. This greatly increases their life expectancy as their digestive system no longer shuts down inlieu of producing viable eggs. Octomer eggs, like most marine life eggs, are extremely fragile and squishy. Parents often create a small nest out of weaved kelp, sea cucumbers, and soft live coral. These are not only meant to cushion the egg, but the toxic tendrils of the live coral help protect their precious offspting from predators.

Another difference to Otopus eggs, is their shspes. Since Octomer eggs aren't hung on the ceiling of an underwater cave, they lack that telltale teardrop shape most octopus eggs are known for, instead taking a more spherical form.

3-5 Months:

On this stage, the egg is about the size of a ping pong ball. Eyes and a mouth start to look visible and the embryo's body starts to develop the octomer's signature 8 arms. Though poor, their sight and hearing will develop and the embryo will start reacting to sounds and light. It is recommended parents start talking to the egg to incentivize development.

It is common for octomer parents to carry their egg around in small pouches or bags so the embryo can be stimulated by outside sounds and light fluctuations at different sea levels.

5-7 months:

Most of the octomer's body is fully developed at this point and sex can be determined by the lack or prescence of a hectocotylus. The outer membrane of the egg also starts to lose color and become more fragile as the embryo absorbs more nutrients. The egg is about the size of a billiard.

At this point, it is not recommended to move the egg, as it could possibly harm the delicate shell and cause premature hatching.

7-9 months:

After absorbing all the nutrients from the egg, the octomer baby is expected to pip and hatch around this time. The outer layer is expected to be completely transluscent as all nutrients have been absorbed, and instead all coloration has been transfered to the newly hatched baby.

At this stage, their chromatophores aren't fully developed, and as such, most octomers at this stage only have light pale coloration alongside freckles or marks reminiscent of their specific species. Octomer babies have also not developed the ability to create water jets, and due to their small size— around the size of a baseball— can be swept by ocean currents. This is why, most octomer babies will be constantly in the care of their parents up until they've reached 24 inches or 61.4 cms in size.
