The Day They Met 2016-12-02 December
Hmmm . . .didn't know Bud could breathe water.
OTOH, there's nothing that says she can't, either . . .
Gripping hand, maybe it's more that she can't drown . . . per-haps because she doesn't actually need air anymore than she needs food?
Stinky doesn't look like either a squid or an octopus, either . . . seven tentacles showing, all fully suckered, more rounded head/body than a squid, more streamlined than an octopus, plus that fringe-fin, which might be more typical of a species of gigantic cuttlefish with extra-long arms?
. . . Hmmm.
Stinky exhibits the slit pupils more characteristic of the nautiloids - though still not right - but he doesn't have a shell . . . squid and octopodes typically have round pupils, while cuttlefish have W-shaped pupils . . .
Perhaps kraken are the fourth taxa in the Coleoidea?
. . .
is there a teuthologist in the house?

But Stinky exhibits the slit pupils
-in work, please stand by-
Technically she doesn't need to breath

I wonder if this scene is from her Lanthan days,or from her Mesoamerican sojourn. It would have to be a time when Brandilyn was around, presumably offstage but nearby. And Jin either was elsewhere or didn't care.

Stinky seems to be fairly close to what a giant bobtail squid might be like.FreeFlier wrote:Stinky doesn't look like either a squid or an octopus, either . . . seven tentacles showing, all fully suckered, more rounded head/body than a squid, more streamlined than an octopus, plus that fringe-fin, which might be more typical of a species of gigantic cuttlefish with extra-long arms?

Whichever. It demonstrates the old truism that, if you wait long enough, anything will come back into style...Grantcmccormick wrote:I wonder if this scene is from her Lanthan days,or from her Mesoamerican sojourn.

I didn't know squids or Octopi could manage "puppydog eyes" but he's nailed it. That look has that "I don't have any friends, love me" look.
I suppose Stinky has gotten used to Bud and Brandi disappearing for long periods and is ecstatic when they finally pop onto the island.

You know that light at the end of the tunnel?
Yeah... it's a bullet. Sorry.

He doesn't have external ears, so she can't scratch behind his ears . . .
