Some cute sea slugs I have made.

Once I figure out how to get a TTS and set these up, I might use em both for that when streaming.

That also requires my stream to not cut out every 30 seconds due to a shitty laptop, but small steps I guess

Idk about y’all but valentines memes have been my favorite part of the holiday since I was an inappropriately young child on the internet

So I made some cephalopod themed ones for your enjoyment <3

These puns are ones that did not make the cut for our actual Valentine’s Day cards shown in the last image

The Bigfin Reef Squid, or Sepioteuthis lessoniana, otherwise known as the squid in animal crossing.

They’re widely distributed throughout the info-pacific. We know more about them than any other squid because they are so easy to observe! They live in shallow water, mate during the day, and eat more at night. Making them the perfect study species.

Plus they’re so angry and cute how can you not love them? Pulling up on a dozen of these cuties out in the wild is 100% a dream I’ve had since I was a child

EVERYONE LOOK AT THE VERY LARGE JELLYFISH :D

Giants lurk in the ocean’s mysterious midwaters.

While surveying the Gumdrop Seamount off the central California coast in 1998, MBARI staff spotted an unusual—and exceptionally large—jelly. This crimson creature was a full meter across. Unlike jellies that dwell near the ocean’s surface, this one didn’t have tentacles. Instead, a cluster of finger-like oral arms dangled beneath its bulky bell.

A closer look confirmed this was a new species—and one that had actually eluded our scientists five years earlier. Detailed video observations captured by our robotic submersibles helped MBARI researcher George Matsumoto and his colleagues in California and Japan formally describe this unusual jelly. They named it Tiburonia granrojo in honor of MBARI’s now-retired remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Tiburon, which was instrumental in documenting this delicate drifter in its natural environment.

Scientists have since spotted this jelly across the Pacific Ocean, from Baja California to Hawaii to Japan. That something so big remained undiscovered for so long shows how little we’ve explored the deep sea—and what more must be out there waiting to be found.

NUDIBRANCHS!!!!!🗣️🗣️

I love them so much I want to put them on my FACE and love them forever you don’t understand they’re so PRETTY and cute
