that’s a question with a complicated answer, stand by!

so the thing about octopuses is that they have not only one of the most powerful color-change abilities on the face of the planet, (they can become almost ANY color/pattern, thanks to skin cells called chromatophores that act like pixels on tv screen!) but they ALSO have the ability to change their skin texture or entire fucking shape thanks to their nature as a boneless mollusc. they use these abilities together to become the greatest stealth master on Planet Earth, the phantom of the sea!

but aside from using this chameleon superpower for absolute ninja bullshit, the octopus’s color changing seems to have an emotional component! though it’s hard to tell exactly what an octopus is feeling, because they’re so different from us apes over here in Homonidae that they might as well be fucking aliens. 

however, decades of first-hand observations have given us some clues as to what’s going on in there.

if an octopus suddenly turns dark, it’s an expression of AGGRESSION/ANGER

and conversely, if an octopus suddenly turns pale/white, it’s an expression of FEAR/DISTRESS

(tentacles curling up is also a sign that an octopus is Having A Bad Time.)

we don’t know all that much about these badass little goop dudes, but we’re learning more everyday! (in the meantime, BE NICE TO YOUR LOCAL OCTOPUS and PLEASE DO NOT HURL THEM INTO BOATS, thank you.)

Thank you! I’m just generally interested in these cute lil (sometimes big) bags of brain, and they’re very interesting! I’m not qualified at all or even have that much knowledge about them, but they’re still a fave for me! Thanks for letting me know about distress and anger! Here’s a gif of what I assume is an octopus being curious-ish! (Bc no black or white!)

yeah that is tentative curiosity! octopuses are at least as curious about us as we are about them. who knows what they think of us?

“i can leave the door open while i’m cleaning my bathroom,” i reasoned to myself. “surely my beloved cat, Meatball, isn’t dumb enough to try and jump into an open toilet full of Clorox”

i caught this tiny-little fool MID-FUCKING-AIR. i watched him start leaping and time literally slowed down. and then he had the audacity, the NERVE, to beep indignantly at me for ruining his plans

good post op we all had a great laugh how about next time you take every necessary precaution to avoid this kind of negligence resulting in your pets death

I’ve heard people pronounce Hozier “Ho-jer” and “ho-zee-er” but no one gets it right, it’s actually pronounced “deep forest cryptid who emerges once every hundred years to sing to his love the moon”

holy shit apparently during the filming of the 2002 spiderman movie james franco joked that tobey maguire had “frog-like features” which genuinely upset him and resulted in a rivalry between the two that still exists today i’m fucking screaming 

i hope tobey maguire beats the fucking shit out of james franco with no repercussions

The frog in tom holland’s mouth is actually tobey maguire

TIL the verb ‘to snipe’ originated in the 1770s among soldiers in British India where hunter skilled enough to kill a particularly elusive bird, the snipe, were called ‘snipers’. This is also the origin of the term 'snipe hunt’ to describe an impossible task.
