“Um, yeah. I guess it’s kind of a metaphor. I don’t feel an actual magnetic pull toward Seven. I just have a bit of a crush on him.” I’m blushing now and feeling so embarrassed, but it seems like I’m not going to get out of talking to Ken about it. “A crush. You want to squeeze him?” Ken's tentacle arms have scrunched up in that way they do when he’s confused. “Uh, no, that’s another metaphor. I am romantically infatuated with him. I can’t tell if it’s temporary or serious. I don’t know if Seven feels the same way or if it could lead to anything. Can we drop it? And don’t tell Seven?” I ask, desperate to end this line of questioning.”
― Bebe Harper, Mandy and the Tentacle Monster

“My mind wandered to the queen, and I had a flashback of an old sci-fi horror movie I’d seen once, late at night on TV when momma thought I was asleep, about a parasitic alien species that burst out of people’s chests.”
― Lily Mayne, Soul Eater

“George gave me a look I wanted to describe as teasing. Then one tentacle reached out to rest on my leg and started caressing up from my knee to temptingly high on my thigh before it slowly pulled away, sending a shiver through me. “Any species that has such fascinating types of pornography and erotic literature devoted to tentacles and what should be seen as monsters by your culture, they felt could…adapt to us.”
― M.A. Innes, My Cameron
