OK SO I WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREET IN THE RAIN AT 2AM AND I SAW AN ANIMAL RUNNING DOWN THE ROAD AND SO I GRABBED IT AND
IT WAS THIS
its the nature of spec bio worldbuilding for this thing to eventually show up
hii, yes, i do!! i'm an inkling (among other things), but with more features from actual squids. could be called a xeno inkling, but still very human-like.
just today i was wondering why there's so few of us around. my sister is also an octoling, but she's not on here
are there any tumblr users here who kin inklings or octolings? like genuinely feel like them the way therians feel like animals? I’m questioning if I might be an Octoling as well as a dragon 😭
It is I.

Hi, I just wanted to share this photo I took. I think in fact, the most Photograph I have ever taken. No, this is not AI, this is a real photo, and whenever I look at it I feel like Tom Haverford staring at that abstract painting in Parks and Rec. Also I took it out the window of a car going 100kph, so, uh, yeah.
Trying a new format to break my long squid science silence with ^^
looking at moon's situation, I think it's possible. at least to an extent.
with her umbilical cable being completely severed, her having been mostly reduced to her puppet, etc.
the issue with the whole freedom thing is that the puppet needs at least some connection to the can to survive. if moon's can were dead, or her puppet entirely disconnected, she wouldn't be there.
but she is alive, despite the severed cable.
so I think the explanation and solution here is the weak wireless connection she seems to have with, yk, the rest of herself. so, hypothetically, a freed puppet would be able to roam however far that connection reaches (as long as power isn't an issue, and they're taking a few neurons along with them).
well, that's if they're happy with either crawling around like some sort of feral creature, or tediously learning to walk on feet that weren't made for it, and can accept that they may be unable to directly communicate with their can ever again unless they're able to reattach themselves.
I don't think the arm would be much of an issue. with the functions it seems to have, they could just as well be performed by something else.
and that's that. but there might be a completely different way, that technically doesn't even involve getting out. some advanced drone shenanigans, perhaps.
hey
hypothetically
for no particular reason at all
how do you think an iterator would Actually be able to Go Off The String. because as fun as it is to imagine them just prying off the umbilical learning to walk and wandering away, i don't think the puppet would be able to survive without the umbilical (power source and whatnot)
so How Would It Be Achieved
go wild as long as it's like. even slightly plausible. i'm lookin for raw ideas
