Strangely beautiful
BEHOLD! This year's gingerbread creation: Ginger the Octopus!
I bought a pepakura pattern from Papercraftfreakshop on Etsy (link here) and used that as a base, even though I had to adapt it a bit due to me making it in ... well, gingerbread.
The whole thing is 100% edible, and made out of gingerbread, icing (or is it called frosting?) and small chocolate candies only.
It has taken me ... AGES. Approximately about 30-40 hours? (just baking the pieces, one by one, took 15 hours over a weekend)
But worth it. Look at her. She's so pretty.
(For progess shots and exclamation of regret, see here)
I love these guys.

imagine if a fuckin……. giant alien just showed up and stuck a huge hand in front of your face and then proceeded to offer you three different houses and wouldn’t stop until you moved out of your old shitty apartment and then helped you fuckin move
and then just left
Caught on camera for the first time in history, this is the extremely-rare Chirodectes Maculatus—a species of spotted box jelly.
From Wikipedia: “There are no recorded cases of a human sting from Chirodectes as it "failed either to sting, or adhere to, the hand and forearm of an incautious volunteer" during the examination, but it is assumed – due to its relatively large size and to the extremely venomous nature of some chirodropids – that Chirodectes is itself venomous.“

Are we positive this isn’t four octopuses cosplaying a jellyfish though?
