Who cares about pens and ink?

Damn things got an HD screen all over their bodies, they don't need ink to write whatever they want all over themselves...

Eerie.

This is a cuttlefish, not a squid.

Squids wish they could be cool as cuttlefish

They aren't as cool, sure, but they're still covered in chromatophores (and cuttlefish also have ink, so the point still stands anyway).

I just couldn't find a gif of one using them, so I got one of a cuttlefish. 🤷‍♂️
