To me this sounds like the opposite of cute. I mean - ugh.

Well, an extremely cute testicle. As such things go, I mean.

Look: they’re from Japan, they’re abnormally cute, and they have huge eyes. Which pretty much guarantees that they engage in tentacle-rape. They’re hunched over like that so you can’t see the tentacle orifices. Why are they sitting in that tree? Obviously, they are waiting for some unsuspecting victim to come along, so that they can all swoop down and tentacle-rape them.

I’m just trying to keep you from getting too attached, so to speak.
