The Blue Dragon - Glaucus atlanticus

… is a species of small, blue sea slug. This pelagic aeolid nudibranch floats upside down, using the surface tension of the water to stay up, and is carried along by the winds and ocean currents. The blue side of their body faces upwards, blending in with the blue of the water, while the grey side faces downwards, blending in with the silvery surface of the sea. G. atlanticus feeds on other pelagic creatures, including the Portuguese man o’ war.

I’m side-eyeing hard at all the posts mocking the Kylo Ren kid’s appearance in the most cruel ways possible. I am side-eyeing so hard I think I will get stuck like this, and it might affect my ability to look straight ahead which in turn will have an impact on my professional life.
