On the back of the head? Where the mouth would be? I can’t decide what would look best. Maybe at the end of one tentacle?
On one of the cheeks would be cute
Edit: saw the diagram in the other comments, you could do 1 on each cheek as like blush and a little one near the mouth as a beauty mark if you want the actual number of hearts they have
That’s a great idea too, thank you!
i think it depends on how visible you want the heart to be. i like the idea of a heart on one of the tentacles cause then it’s like a surprise when you come across it which could be cute! but the other positions sound good too, i see your dilemma lol.
handmade plushies always have such wonderful charm, you’re very cool!!!
Aw shucks, thank you! The different options are all kind of cute, even the anatomically correct ones
whichever spot you choose is gonna turn out great i’m positive!
Looks like the octopus’s hearts are located at the back/bottom of the head (it has three)
Would that look weird on a plush though? I guess I could try and do 3 small hearts on the back
I dunno I just think it’s neat that octopuses have three hearts.
It is neat! They are amazing creatures
The coolest part is their distributed brains, with significant amounts of their total brain matter in their arms rather than in the main brain in the head.
Oh, just a little
point: octopuses don’t have tentacles, they have eight arms. Squid have eight arms and two tentacles. The difference is that arms have suckers all along them while tentacles only have suckers at the tips.Consider me educated, I did not know the difference between the two. That’s really cool, now I want to add squids to my to-do list too. I’ve done a jellyfish but it was very chibi style and was essentially a ball with a mini skirt and curls all around for the tentacles (or arms, realizing I’m not sure ha).
Did you know that some species of squid, like the humboldt squid, are pack hunters?
Cuttlefish are also extremely cute, probably the cutest cephalopods of all.
Jellyfish do have tentacles, but it means something different for them, jellyfish tentacles are covered in nematocysts which are special cells that physically shoot out microscopic poisoned harpoons which is how their stinging works.
That’s awesome, appreciate you sharing
cool octopus facts
The anti-intellectualism is taking over right now… what do you mean its arms aren’t tentacles! They’re tentacles!
I’m sure there’s a good reason for it though. But I’d be lying if I said I believe “octopodes have no tentacles”
We have to have words to distinguish between the two types of cephalopod appendages. Squid and cuttlefish have both types while octopuses/octopodes/octopi (all valid plurals) only have one type, the type we call arms.
yeah I guess I can live with that
