So they are just...nice people? Great mythical creature.

Wife: turns out to be an octopus
Me:" jokes on you I'm into that shit!"

[Megamanxx]

That's very odd, a monster that doesn't do anything cruel... how oddly wholesome

[maxpowers]

I have to respect that they choose simple honest lives, and don't use their power to exploit the weak.

[sauron]

having one of them as wife is not that bad compared to other japanese monsters sure its an octopus but they clean & cook for you & most importantly they are not trying to kill you

[rairaion]

Listening to this now, Octodad starts to make a lot more sense

[addison_v_ertisement]

Okay, question: Why do yokai have to leave their partners after they get found out?
Like, this happens in that one legend with the pale snake, and that other one with the ice woman, but why is it the case?

[volnartheunforgiving]

This one is genuinely so strange to me because of how there's nothing like interesting that they do or like any sort of danger or something
It's just
"When you get married to a woman, she may actually be an octopus. In that case, uh, that's unfortunate for you I guess"

The plan of 'world domination' had started a long time ago, I see.


If you know, you know, fellow takos.

[azuromesser]

The *one* thing in japanese folklore that doesn’t want you dead

[ChosKing]

Ok so Tako Nyobo's are great wives, they cook, they clean, and probably (lets be honest here) give god tier massages with there Tentacles, they don't hurt or kill people and the only real bad thing is people will see you as a total weirdo, my Weeb senses are screaming "YES YES YES".

[albatross]

Seeing as octopus are excellent at camouflage, this creature kinda makes sense. 🐙

[SolarVr]

So it’s just ursula with common goals in life

[cobaltprime]

Huh. Wants to be a traditional human wife. Has no malicious intentions. Even if discovered they just flee.
This might be the first time one of these creatures have been… good. I wouldn’t even mind ngl. She has a human form and she loves me. That’s a huge win. Though idk how kids would work.

[ragg]

I get the feeling that one story there is meant to be funny. The ending reads like a punchline.

[deucesommerfeld]

"You've been giving me bathwater?!"

"Yes!"

Any smart man: *Proceeds to drink ALL OF IT.*

[kaec]

"I wanna be where the people are"

[miguelaponte]

Oh, nice twist. Sounds like a good source for certain reading materials with good happy endings.😉

[prastarkeepers]

Octowaifu just wants somebody to love.

[Mankey]

I love Japanese myths and their silly exaggerated stories about how these monsters want to do inexplicable stuff to people. Including getting married to a humanoid octopuses.
