no one ever talks about the sheer number of sea slugs. there’s so fucking many. so many i could never fit them all in one post. this image contains literally like 1% of them if even. you could give a four year old a ten pack of markers and a piece of paper and tell them to scribble any design with any colors they want and it would probably resemble a sea slug somewhere out there. they’re so fucking awesome. Love it
Alabaster Madonna
He has “skin so black it’s almost blue”, his hair is “dense, tight-curled stuff, the kind of hair that needs to be shaped if it’s to look stylish”, and he is “whipcord thin”.

I need to know Lady in Waiting's response to Knight Aizawa being "married" (a mighty need)
A flair of disappointment hits you as you realize Eri is alone. Her dress is haphazardly pulled over her head, her poor little arms barely pulled through the sleeves. Her hands are still halfway through the openings and fumbling with the front ties of her dress, picking and pulling at the silk clumsily. You rush over and immediately start adjusting.
"Is Sir Aizawa not with you today?" you ask. The dresses aren't his Forte, but he at least knows enough to not let her struggle by herself or to wait for you to arrive.
"He's with my dad," the child explains. The knight and the king go back all the way to their childhood. After the war, when Toshinori rose to power, Aizawa was appointed as guard to the princess- a relatively easy retirement gift.
"Is this going to be the dress I wear to the ball?" Eri asks as you free her hands.
"No, your dress is going to be yellow and much bigger, remember?" Last year, when the princess wore pink, Aizawa was forced into a dashing suit and a matching rose colored pocket square. You wonder if this year will be the same; he's rather dashing in yellow, it brings out just how dark his eyes really are.
"Is your knight going to be at the ball, Eri?"
"Mhm, he always lets me dance on his feet." She lets you tie her ribbons into giant, looping bows. "But last time, he said I was getting too big!"
That's the real reason you've fallen for the man. Despite everything, despite how he wants to appear, he's soft and loving. He treats the princess as if she were his own daughter.
You're aware it's a ridiculous crush; the man has treated you kindly, of course, but there's very little chance that he would ever pursue you. Unlike most Ladies in Waiting, your lineage is not very noble. Your father was a general in his day and the King gave you this position after his death to make sure you were cared for.
"You're getting older. When you're my age, you'll get to dance with whoever you want."
She thinks about this for a moment. "But I only want to dance with my knight."
That pulls a laugh from you, even as your chest aches. "Me too, Princess. He's a very good dancer."
The princess giggles along with you for a long while, helping you finish smoothing her dress.
"Do you know if Sir Aizawa is married, Eri?" you ask suddenly.
"Yeah! He is!"
"Oh, that's very good for him." You pull your lips together to keep your smile despite how your chest suddenly aches, "Is she pretty?"
"I dunno-"
"Say 'I don't know.'"
"I don't know." She stresses her correction, "But Mr. Knight is pretty, so his wife is probably pretty too."
Your heart sinks even farther. Of course, he would have a beautiful partner. Your longing and wondering now feels immature; who are you to be wanting after someone of such a status anyway?
"Wonderful." You pinch a smile on to your cheeks, "That's wonderful for him."
I'm not quite done with it yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to think about the Broken Earth trilogy at least once a week for the rest of my life.
