As an adult, I can quite literally do whatever I want to, but I always end up wanting to just go home.

Otabek: What do we do if our child is ugly?

Yurio: We kill him and make another one.

Otabek: Okay.

Victor and Georgi: *horrified gasps*

Yuuri: Guys, you should probably tell them that you’re talking about the Sims.

I don’t know if musicians realise how much their tiniest actions can mean to us. Not too long ago I saw Turisas live for the first time and they have this one song that makes me really sad, because it reminds me of someone – so when they started playing it… I started crying. And then Mathias smiled to me. I feel silly for giving so much importance to this, but I can’t help it. I was crying and he smiled and changed everything.

The thrilling adventures of Mathias Nygård

[replicaaaa]

Why does Mathias Nygård get so much hate?

Hear me out, I’m not calling out people in a “Mathias is an angel on earth who should not be hated at all!!!” kind of way, but after reading through some Turisas reviews, I quickly realised a lot of members of the metal community seem to blame him for everything they don’t like about Turisas, usually calling him arrogant and self-centered.

Hell, even on here I see those “confession” posts along the lines of “Mathias is an asshole but I like his music” or stuff about how arrogant he is. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not here to defend him or something; I don’t know the guy personally.

What I’m trying to find it is what has he done/said that was so cocky or arrogant? What’s caused these strong opinions about him? And, more importantly, what are your opinions on all this?

My buddy read an article about octopus intelligence. It was feeding time, and the handler dumped some shrimp into an octopus’ tank. Then he went into another room and sat at his desk.

A while later, a shrimp was tossed onto his desk.

The octopus, upon finding one bad shrimp in the lot, had grabbed it, escaped its tank, crossed the hall, and threw the expired shrimp at its caretaker. Not only does this showcase their problem-solving capabilities, but also that it could have escaped at any time. It just broke out this time to chuck an off shrimp in indignation at its handler. That’s not just intelligence, that’s a human-like reaction. Kinda make you wonder exactly how smart these guys can be…

OH MY GOD

I went to the aquarium once and we had a tour and we walked past the octopus tank and it was duct taped shut so I asked why and the guy was like. “Well, we had a problem before because these fish were disappearing randomly at night and we had no idea why. Turns out the octopus had memorised the night guards rounds and would creep out of its tank, crawl across the floor to the fish tank, have a little snack and be back in its own tank with the lid shut before the guard came back.” they are super smart

I love octopuses so, so much.

I am both delighted and FUCKING TERRIFIED.

Once I went to the aquarium where they had a baby pacific red octopus in a tank. I had gone there to work on a few real life sketches, obviously I wanted to do one of an octopus. So I kinda just kneeled in front of the tank, and started sketching. The octopus didn’t mind, he sat happily. Then, 5 minutes later, he started moving to the front of the tank, where I was. This tiny octopus faces me directly and starts posing. I don’t know how other to explain it but he started curlung his tentacles in this really graceful way then wouldn’t move for a few minutes. Then again, a new pose. That tiny cute motherfucker knew I was drawing him.

humans always underestimate the intelligence of the creatures around them. @thebenblr

[paleo-artlover-blog]

They also demonstrate that they have quite a memory and can show affection towards people they haven’t seen in a while- often give them an octopus 🐙 hug. Humans always underestimate the intellect, and sentience and intelligence of beings we share the world with. I think it odd that we look to the cosmos for other signs of sentient beings when really our planet is so full of them. 🤔

Shout out to the octopus at the Shedd who started posing and being a ham when it saw I had my camera out.
