Obelias from today's zoo class. Cnidarians really are one of the coolest life forms, they look so alien, they're wild.

Obelia geniculata.

princess aesthetics

So, I was watching a movie the other day and I was struck with the thought- The Winter Palace where the Russian Imperial family resided looks VERY similar to the Emerald Palace...Just me? Keep reading.

First off the bat is this green exterior of the palace with the slight gold decorations. Does that color look oddly familiar to you?

I think if you replaced these black pillars with white, you could see an uncanny resemblance to the ones you can see decorating and holding up the palace near the gardens.

These stairways are extremely grand, pompous even, and they reminded me of the one she came down from during her debutante. Still just me? Continuing on.

The audience room with the throne, doesn’t look familiar because of all the hanging chandeliers too close to the pillars, however if we replaced them with smaller ones and lit them, this scene would be extremely familiar if we filled it with some people dressed very well and a very familiar emperor sitting there- (or shall I say, empress?)

A main throne room, if we took away the portrait and made the dais much taller, removing the pillars as well, make the ceiling higher, and with no portrait but with a hidden room behind some royal purple curtains? 

We’ve never seen the vaults for the Obelian family, however I imagine they would look similar to this, perhaps less gaudy without the statues guarding the sides (or if they did, they’d be smaller, a singular animal for both sides would be sufficient) but the gold would be very accurate especially for doors guarding the vaults(in a less public place of course).

An arched ceiling for an entrance to a church, delicate gold and angel statues that are more realistic in proportions as compared to say, cherubs, and red which is symbolic to religion or royalty as they usually make capes/mantles that are a deep red. As I imagine the Obelian Empire has a shared faith of some type of religion, the Imperial family should have access to a church that’s built someplace near their grounds as they wouldn’t go to the public churches that are scattered throughout the empire and other countries within it. 

Anywaysssss, that’s the end of the aesthetics, hope that was enjoyable (and my ramblings included ehe).
