@sozobe,
Ha!!! I, of course, had to go and look for films of REAL octopus lerve after seeing this.
Frankly, given the number of arms, it's a disappointment.
AND they DIE soon afterwards.
They have filmed two male octopodii of different kinds making passionate lerve, however, which could upset human homophobes AND racists in one fell swoop, so not all is lost. (One was a black varirty, and one was white.)
But of course...you mean what happens to our two protagonists after she slingshots herself at the marauding gull carrying off her love.
This could be the octopus version of Finding Nemo!
