As much as I desperately want this to be true, I’m just gonna chalk it up to tumblr nonsense until a source gets posted.
It’s real! More like, “we’re not really sure what we saw” but it was believed to be two different species of male octopus mating.
Not much online because it happened in 1994. Found a New York Times article about it, but this one was a more fun read:

Best part:
The smaller octopus was rubbing its sexual arm along its partner’s back. Then, while Voight watched, the white octopus reached under the larger male and inserted the tip of its arm into the body cavity.
while Voight watched
Came here to say basically what you said, but I didn’t notice the articles all seem to be from the 90’s.
Have these octopuses not been seen mating since?

This one is about deep sea squids. Not sure if thats the original source.
OP’s source points to an unavailable youtube video, unfortunately
E: someone else posted the sources from the reblog notes (I don’t know how tumblr works, I was only looking in the comments - whoops)

I’m a Republican and those two octopussies at the bottom of the ocean need to go to PRISON for corrupting our children!
But if they were shooting each other with guns we have applications for a School Resource Officer inside.

I wonder if they both died after like how they do when the males do when they mate with females or if they were just chillin
