Here you go!!! 😊🫶❤️

Now in twst octopi are are still struggling with that for sure but… octomers? They are basically octopi with a human conscious, extra limbs and bones, and a longer lifespan. I think its interesting azul comes from a long line of witches and his mother run a restaurant in a place known for struggling with food and often eating it was and unseasoned. Like if anyone is going to find the secret to serving food under the see it would be an octopus right?

I also think its interesting how they seem to have air bubbles around the food and it makes me curious of the fluffy sparkle things around azul are magic or not. in this photo all the food he is eating are things that would be yknow, not like that if in water. He literally has a drink under the water. Maybe the manga isnt acurate to the game world because jade did mention how bad of a situation food was in the sea but i also again do think if anyone would be able to find a way to counteract that it it would be a magically capable octopus human creature yknow

I got lost in the sauce this was supposed to be about how I theorize or at the very least headcanon octomers to have been a large crux of mer society. I dont think this is stated in game hence why i say more of a headcanon i just think with how much impact ursula had and how implied if an impact azuls mom and grandmother have had. If i had to guess how i personally think its be the understanding of magic and knowledge as octavinelle is known as one of the smartest dorms and not only is azul from a line of multiple mages but he has a very powerful um (not to mention ursula is one of the seven and was a very powerful seawitch)

Hear now the hammer-song,

the hard steel's hymn,

of Thorbrabdr Olafson,

oak-hearted and steadfast.

Born of frost and fire,

son of the anvil’s roar,

he bent bright steel

as others bend reeds.

Sparks were his stars,

the forge his firmament,

where runes were wrought

in red-hot iron.

Wise was Thorbrabdr,

a teacher of hands and hearts;

he shared skill as bread,

knowledge as mead,

shaping not only swords

but steadfast souls.

Strong was Thorbrabdr,

fighter in shield-storm,

where blades sang bitterly

and courage was counted.

He stood unshaken

when battle broke loud,

his arm sure,

his spirit unbowed.

Gentle was Thorbrabdr

beneath roof-beams at dusk,

husband true,

father firm and kind.

Laughter lived by his hearth,

and stories were sown

like seed in all minds.

Loved he the soft-stepped ones,

Freya’s favored kin—

cats with keen eyes

and whispering paws.

They warmed his hall

as surely as fire,

curling close

to the smith of their trust.

When his last day darkened

and fate cut the thread,

the Valkyries came,

bright-helmed and silent.

They bore him skyward

on storm-wind roads

to Valhalla’s halls,

gold-roofed and glad.

There he stands now,

among chosen companions,

where shields are benches

and spears are beams.

Mead flows freely,

deeds are remembered,

and Thorbrabdr Olafson

is named with honor.

So speak his saga,

so sing his worth—

for steel may rust,

'Atlantia'
