Why do so many cephalopods die immediately after reproducing?

Okay so the physical reason is that mating triggers a change in their brain chemistry and hormone levels that essentially poisons them and makes them behave strangely and stop eating. If the gland responsible for this change is removed, the cephalopod continues as normal and lives for many months after laying eggs.

But the evolutionary reason is the end-Cretaceous extinction. Cephalopods used to have a pretty huge variation in lifespan, ranging from a few months to over 200 years (https://www.iflscience.com/ancient-paperclipshaped-sea-creature-could-live-for-200-years-57685)

Large, long-lived cephalopods were hit hard by the mass extinction and those who survived did so by being short-lived and reproducing quickly, so they were selected for as cephalopods recovered from the extinction event. The most ancient species, the nautilus, can live for several decades and mate many times, hinting at the high diversity of life strategies that cephalopods used to have.

So yeah, the reason octopuses usually only live a year or two before self-destructing is because of that fucking asteroid.

Hello!! Some ships and fandoms that I have!!

I don't have many ships in mp100, but I am a crossover shipper (in case you couldn't tell), and my current top ship is DekuMob (Mob from mp100 and Deku from mha)

Other mha ships are TogaChako, and we come to another crossover ship, MinoToga (Minori mp100 and Toga mha). I dabble in BakuDeku too, though it's not my top ship.

Mouthwashing! No ships here, but my favorite is Daisuke.

Finally, Wings of Fire. My oldest fandom, top ship is SunLow, though I also love MoonJou.

I also love marine biology, especially cephalopods! In case you couldn't tell by my name!!
