Finally, after a long, exhausting day, I get home to discover that someone has revealed The Truth™ of humankind’s evolutionary destiny.

My descendants better not become Octarians just to be crushed by Inklings.
Is the squid also male?
Old news…
But seriously, an octopus? Not a cuttlefish? Fiction.
This is not a vision of the future, but the story of our past: how we and our many ancestors have been led, from day one, down the singular path of ruin by the looming figure of Cthulhu’s disembodied head.
