The Technicolor Out Of Space @neonNeptunian@awoo.space

(dæmon/patronus/glowy animal familiar friend whatever you'd want to call it. Yes. Yiiis. u3u)

so like
the kimoyo beads? as a bracelet and just awesome utilitarian tool are just

so so so amazing

i imagine some Wakandans making AIs to occupy their bracelets. Some people might prefer having someone else to talk to. Whether to just set alarms, or run independent functions.

but also, like, with its projection tech, i imagine some might encode theirs to manifest like a glow-light dæmon to chatter with, or cuddle...

also cuz that's basically an ellu

Yeah, hey. Hugs for you all. Each and every one. 💜 It's a huggin' day.

sometimes looking up
is like looking through the veins of a sleeping continent
of sanctuary and rain

and those veins are a blue
so deep
you could float out into forever
through them.

Today's fortune:

✨ Excellent Luck ✨

You drink water and it tastes good

Today's just a day where I wish I could give more of you hugs.

Or just..make the hurt and suck stop, at least for a little while.

💜 *gentle hugs on tap*

today
I hope that wherever you are,
you're able to find warmth and safety
sanctuary and rest
and a solid path to walk down.

May you know happiness. 💜

i'm still extant i swear!

it's not been much really to report lately, i s'pose. work is still work. I've gotten a solid rhythm, and almost paid off some debts from prior, which is yay.

Tired and kind of scatterbrained. Think there's a bit of stress about the world-at-large in there, too. worried a bit that i'm coming down with something, so today is a 'curl up in bed' day, i guess. :x

when i have the spoons, i'll be back at making Fun and Weird again, promise. 💜

'hold on everybody

I JUST REALIZED THERES NO MIRRORS IN THE OCEAN AND IM SCARED SEA SLUGS DONT KNOW HOW BEAUTIFUL THEY ARE'

so, as a memo
please bring a mirror to your nudibranch friends

Today feels like a Sigur Ros day. Like being warm and comfy. Under blankets next to a warm fireplace and a window to watch the world go by.

Simple joys. https://youtu.be/Hrq7ffdV1ro

O, rest and dream of wonders,
rest with the warm, safe Sea.

I like that idea, I suppose: octopus as refugee of a universe lost, yet wiggly enough to survive through to the After.

People back then probably thought them just as alien as we find them now! There's a lot of strangeness to sea-life; s'part of why I find it so fascinating. :3

From a brief flit of reading of a Hawaiian creation myth:

'...Although we have the source of all things from chaos, it is a chaos which is simply the wreck and ruin of an earlier world...The drama of creation, according to The Hawaiian account, is divided into a series of stages....As type follows type, the accumulating slime of their decay raises land above the waters,

in which, as spectator of all, swims the octopus, the lone survivor of an earlier world.'

who knows, i might just make this A Thing, I just kind of got really excited and wanted to share what I had learned with y'all. Thanks for listening to my ramble!

Hi! I hope you have a great day. n..n Enjoy the complementary kelp and tea at the back table.

As a closing note, on that original picture of the blanket octo
there's those orb-lookin' things inbetween its blankets.

I'm...pretty sure those are just furled-up arms, not anything like testes or genitals. To be honest, I thought they were at first.

But, ultimately, that's a female octopode.

The males are not stylish enough for a blanket.
They however are adorable and precious and pretty darn unique.

So go you, Blanket Octopus. 💜
