maybe that’s why octopi don’t have civilizations, they’re too traumatized by the fact that all their relatives are little more than meat plants

biology is probably the closest we can get to actual eldrich horror, realizing that everything you’ve taken as fact is complete nonsense and in reality all definitions are made up
like fucking hell, both animals and plants are compound organisms that billions of years ago swallowed some bacteria or whatever and it stuck around inside the cells and eventually atrophied into organelles!
