Considering glass is pretty much just modified stone lithomancy seems pretty tempting.

Also, are we talking actual mecha-suits here, or basically fishbowls? Because while octopi do need water to breathe and not dry out, it’s not like air burns them or anything.

Hmm, seen from that perspective, a decently insulated sponge would work about as well. There’s the problem of deoxygenation, of course, but you run into that either way. Either you solve that with constant refills, or you add some sort of contraption that keeps cycling in air bubbles (like in an aquarium) or you put in a lot of plants (not very Blue).

Also, they should all wear goggles, because the light is much brighter on the surface than where they come from.

> I’m not sure if there’s a name for this, but it’s something I think about quite often. When you discover something about yourself, something new (it could be a mental disorder you didn’t knew you have, a sexual preference or even a moral philosophy you find appealing, there’s a tendency to look…

Isn’t that just a facet of a general tendency to re-frame old information in light of new discoveries? Like everything from science texts to plot twists tends to trigger that kind of reaction, at least for me. Doing that properly is, like, a basic part of learning, right? You’re just doing it more intensely with new information about yourself because, well, from your own perspective, you’re kind of a big deal.

General you, not specific.
