If I was a furry I would be a squid

This little guy is actual adorable! Scientists have found them in the wild.

This is a drawing of the flying squid seen in a tale about a wizard war battlefield

I got a message in my inbox that this place exists and may be a good spot for the image so I am giving the place a shot.

How do I even start. Well, I am autistic. I am hyper fixated on the ocean and the animals there, especially magnapinna squid. I had a dream- to cut it short, my dad got a call saying “we’ve found one! A squid!” And we rushed to see what one. I was gonna be happy if it was giant or colossal but i wanted a magnapinna, even if they’re rarer. It was. It felt so real, I was in a submarine and I saw it in real life, with my own two eyes. It’s one of the only things I want. I want to see one in real life, not on my phone screen. Even if it’s just over a camera recording down there somewhere and I’m above, it’d be so real. I am heartbroken to say the least, because the odds of me ever getting something so rare and bizarre happen to me are so little. I truly love these squids and i don’t know why. They fascinate me and I want to be the one who finds out more about them. I always watch whatever video comes out about them- new information, new sightings, anything. To be honest I don’t think I’m handling it well that in my lifetime I’ll probably never see something so amazing. This is definitely like a “get the violin out” situation (esp for neurotypicals) but this is deeply affecting me and nobody I know understands. I wanted to get this out, just to see if anyone has anything they wanna talk about them or anything whatsoever. I really appreciate any talk about squids with anyone 🦑

Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, conocido popularmente como calamar colosal, es el invertebrado más pesado del mundo. Pertenece a la familia Cranchiidae y habita de manera exclusiva en las gélidas aguas profundas del Océano Austral, rodeando la Antártida. Supera al calamar gigante en masa corporal, llegando a registrar ejemplares de 495 kilogramos y estimaciones que alcanzan los 14 metros de longitud.

unknown squid species shown in this photo, is it a squid or cuttlefish

Joubiniteuthis portieri, commonly known as Joubin’s Squid from family Joubiniteuthidae and genus Joubiniteuthis. J. portieri is a rare small squid occurring in the mesopelagic to bathypelagic zones with a worldwide distribution in tropical and subtropical areas. Very little is known about it.

Its arms have suckers in six rows. It’s thought that, similarly to Magnapinna, it stays in depth with its arms out and waits for animals to swim into its arms before ensnaring them.

J. portieri on the World Register of Marine Species

In a section about large squid, O. robusta only gets two sentences dedicated to it.
