I want to buy cicada merch in celebration of the periodical emergence this year.
If anyone has anything to recommend, especially anything by small independent artists, I would really appreciate it!! (It's so easy to find mass-produced stuff, but it's also more likely to be cheaply made or possibly a stolen design, y'know?)
I'm looking for anything cicada-related, but especially things I can wear!

久しぶりに『三銃士』を読みました📖
わざわざ岩波少年文庫で読んだのは、長沢節氏によるファッション画に等しいお洒落なイラストも眺めて楽しむためです😍✨
『一人はみんなのために、みんなは一人のために』、そして愛と友情、協力と独断、共有と秘密、信頼と裏切り、日常と冒険、王侯貴族と庶民、武官と官僚、富裕と貧困、政治と駆け引きなど、何もかもが詰め込まれているのに不思議と集中してしまう作品です✨
��い頃は、何事にも一所懸命で純粋なダルタニャンがかわいくて好きでしたが、今は大雑把なようで配慮を欠かさない男気のあるポルトスがお気に入りです🥰

Un breve análisis sobre el choque entre el existencialismo y el misticismo en "Los hermanos Karamázov"
Los hermanos Karamázov es una clásica obra rusa de Fiódor Dostoyevski de finales del siglo XIX. Mucho se ha analizado sobre ella, desde su corriente realista, una especie de intermedio entre el racionalismo y romanticismo. El racionalismo era una corriente intelectual que consideraba más importante a la razón, mientras que el romanticismo se enfocaba en las emociones, todo aquello que a la razón…

Wrestlemania Main Event Reviews - Wrestlemania XIX
Brock Lesnar def. Kurt Angle (c) for the WWE Championship in 21:07
Fun Fact: This is the first one of these matches I was alive for! I debuted late-2002! Angle’s out here and he looks like a star! Some of those great “You Suck!” chants too! Brock has taped ribs and I miss when he would wear wrestling gear. These two look great and it screams main event. Also, Michael Cole sounds very hoarse on commentary, hope he took a good rest after this.
The Network didn’t want me to seem all of their opening lock-up it seemed but they did it. Some quick chain wrestling from Angle but Brock works the arm. Angle gets him over himself as they trade holds on the arm and beyond. Lovely quick reversal chain wrestling. Great stuff. Lots of standing switches and takedowns, but Lesnar starts to use power to take advantage with a big arm drag, but Angle targets the ribs. Brock retaliates with some big shoulders and a powerslam. Brock recovers quickly from a German suplex and Angle retreats outside the ring. Brock follows but Angle takes the chance to stomp the back. Brock is soon able to hit a big gorilla press slam though and he’s in control. Angle then sends Brock high into the turnbuckle with a German suplex. Brilliantly brutal. Angle follows outside and barges him into the barricade. He pounds on Brock as he brings him back into the ring, followed by a side suplex for 2. Angle is in control in the corner and hits a suplex. Freestyle bow and arrow (thanks for that name drop Taz!) submission on Brock and the commentary analyses it really well! Unique offense that Brock tries to break out of. Angle modifies into a really brutal choke hold like a crossface, and then a rear naked choke as Brock stands up. He gets him off by backing into the corner but Angle is able to regain control with an overhead German suplex and a knee. Brock springs up with a spinebuster on a charging Angle and they’re both down.
Back and forth but Brock starts to run wild. Angle comes back with an elbow but Brock hits two lovely overhead suplexes. Angle reverses a third into quadruple German suplexes with the hands locked, attempts the Angle Slam, reversed, F5, reversed, Angle Lock locked in, but when Brock grabs the rope he pulls it back and locks in a single-leg Boston crab to target the ribs. Brock makes the ropes and Angle backs up, hitting a knee but then getting backdropped over the ropes by Lesnar. Angle comes back quickly but Lesnar dodges the attack. Shoulder barges and Angle ducks a clothesline to hit a release German suplex. The straps are down and Angle Slam for just a 2-count! Angle stomps and awaits Lesnar, he goes for the Angle Slam, inside cradle from Brock for 2, he hits the F5 but can’t cover quickly and it’s a 2-count! Brock is lifting Angle up but quick switch to the Ankle Lock! He wraps up the leg but Brock drags the champion to the ropes and breaks the hold. Brock is able to kick away Angle, goes for the F5 but rollup, kick out, Angle Slam reversed, F5 but Brock decides it’s not enough. He heads up top and goes for the Shooting Star Press! Unfortunately, he misses completely and just avoids landing on his head. Angle covers for the botch by trying to pin and Cole says Angle rolled away. Good quick thinking. Angle gets him up, Lesnar hits the F5, and Brock wins! Lesnar looks worse for wear after the Shooting Star Press botch and Angle shakes his hand as the fireworks go off. 
Pros: Great technical wrestling, hard-hitting suplexes, back and forth high impact action, good covering for the botch Cons: Botch ruined the big finale (luckily Brock was okay afterwards)
A wonderful technical match that the crowd were into! They loved Brock and the big action was well received. Great spots and just an exciting match to watch, but sadly best known for the botched finish, though they covered well. Other than that, a top tier match that was just about two of the best wrestlers wrestling for the title and to show that they’re better than the other chump!
Unfortunately, one of these men's actions are seriously staining their own legacy, and it's not Kurt Angle!

🪓 — Canon Facts About Ticci Toby
all of these are directly stated by kastoway himself in deviantart posts/comments, instagram stories, or tobys canon story
I. Toby has a split eyebrow from the car crash
II. He only attended grade school for a short time when we was 12 before being homeschooled due to bullying
III. Kastoway describes Toby's eye colour as "dark brown/black"
IV. Kastoway created Toby as a fan character when he was 12 just for fun. He never expected him to get the attention that he did
V. Toby was stated to be 19 in 2013, which means Toby was born on April 28th, 1994. Today he'll be turning 30 years old
VI. In Toby's age chart, he is shown to be in a straitjacket at 30 years old, and described to "not have much time left on his plate", "any bit of sanity in him is probably gone", and "lives out the rest of his days in a mental asylum and/or gets put down"
VII. He has little to no memory of his life before becoming a proxy
VIII. When he was a toddler, he'd carry around a cow stuffie and put bandaids all over it
IX. Toby was killed by Clockwork, who was possessed by Zalgo, sometime between ages 19-25 (presumably 20-22). Kastoway had vague plans for Toby to "miraculously survive" and live up until around 30 years old, with no contact to the others
X. Toby chews his hands to the point of eating his own flesh, which is why he wears gloves
XI. He is born and raised in Denver, Colorado, USA. He has German ancestry
XII. His theme song is noted to be "I'm Not Alright" by Shinedown
XIII. His personality is described to be, "volatile, friendly at times, sarcastic at times, natural born trouble-maker, mostly up-beat"
XIV. In an older, outdated reference sheet, his friends are listed as "Jeff The Killer, BEN, BOB, Smile Dog, Slenderman, Splendorman, Mr. Widemouth, Ragface, Eyeless Jack", and his rivals are listed as "The Rake, Masky, Enderman, Zalgo"
XV. His mask is a mouth guard, like the one Hannibal Lecter wears
XVI. He is canonically shipped with Clockwork
XVII. Toby has "big ass eyebrows" (Kastoways words himself)
XVIII. Toby doesn't hate Masky, he just acts like an annoying little brother around him because he's jealous that Slender favours him. He's chill around Hoodie, but they don't talk much
XIX. Kastoway was inspired by Marble Hornets to create Ticci Toby
XX. Toby's tics are described as to "uncontrollably crack his neck, twitch around, bend over backwards"
XXI. In his updated appearance (the sketch made by Kastoway in 2014 with the cheek gash), he's described to be in his early 20s. He also said he was thinking of having the cheek gash be caused by the fire, but said that Toby eating through his own cheek was "a really good idea"
XXII. Toby was originally going to be a cannibal before Kastoway put the idea on the back burner, though he says "he'll eat some of the things he kills kind of like Eyeless Jack"
XXIII. He had CIPA, Tourettes, Schizophrenia and PTSD after the car crash
XXIV. His older sisters name is Lyra, his mothers name is Connie, and his father is canonically unnamed (though he's typically called Frank by the fandom, this is not stated by Kastoway)
XXV. He was originally going to be 5'4....... But ended up being made 5'6 (lucky bastard)
Thats all I can think of right now... Happy Birthday Toby

VnC timeline
Tumblr media
I’m mostly an artist in this fandom, but sometimes inspiration strikes and leads me in completely weird directions, such as… figuring out dates of every event in VnC!
With the invaluable help of @retracexcviii, who has created timelines for VnC events before (thank you forever and ever💜) and helped me to avoid some really silly mistakes, I’ve done… this monstrosity of a text, which includes every important canon event I could think of.
— All events are distributed by centuries, starting with XVI and finishing with XIX, and after listing all the events of each century I will put screens of the same texts with correlating manga pages. Additionally, there are numbers of chapters for most of the events.
— Some dates are marked with ~, which means that this date could fluctuate a bit (could be a bit earlier or later). 
— Events that I couldn’t put anywhere specifically are in “UNKNOWN MOMENT” category. I still tried to differentiate them between centuries.
Alright, here we go! 
XVI CENTURY
1493-1500 — creation of an engraving; plague, cataclysms, Paracelsius is looking for a way to save humanity.
(7)
~ 1500 — Babel. The awakening of Faustina, who is considered to be the first vampire.
(19)
1500-1550 — the awakening of Teacher and Machina as vampires. Machina might be younger than Teacher. Creation (awakening?) of Luna? The awakening of Teacher and the creation of Luna — probably around the same time?
(19)
~ 1550-1560 — Chloe is born. She becomes a vampire at the age of 4.
(31)
Between 1550-1600 — Ruthven becomes a vampire. He is currently more that 200 years old, and it’s unknown whether he was born as a vampire or awaken or even when exactly his life began. But looks like an adult in 1650, so he was most likely alive in 1600. He is also younger than Chloe: when she calls him a “child”, he doesn’t correct her.
(31)
Presumable order of awakening of the oldest vampires: 
Faustina —> Teacher —> Machina —> Chloe —> Ruthven. 
When exactly was Luna born? Does Kresnik exist in this century?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
XVII CENTURY
~ 1650 — the war between humans and vampires. Chloe meets Ruthven.
(31)
~ 1665-1669 — Jeanne awakens in a flask in front of an unknown person. She leaves the flask. Later, she is adopted by Eric and Louise, Ruthven's students.
(39)
~ 1669 — Chloe meets Jeanne. Ruthven tries to establish peace between humans and vampires.
(31, 32)
~ 1672 — (3 years after Chloe and Jeanne met, 30 years before the end of the war) Ruthven loses his students, his eye is injured; Jeanne becomes the Bourreau of the Senate; Chloe meets Machina; Machina tells about the fate of Ruthven and Jeanne. Almost immediately, Naenia appears for the first time (indicating that Faustina is already a cursebearer); Ruthven visits Chloe for the last time, they part as enemies. If Naenia exists, does Charlatan exist as well?
(32, 33)
UNKNOWN MOMENT BEFORE 1672 — Faustina becomes a cursebearer.
(33)
UNKNOWN MOMENT BEFORE 1672 — Luna creates the Books of Vanitas, which are considered to be the reason for the appearance of the Malnomen. Could the books be created to cure the cursebearers in the first place? Most likely, this happened early in the timeline, since there is a whole folklore about it. Even earlier, someone gave Luna the name " Vanitas", which is also reflected in the title of the books.
(48, 49)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
XVIII CENTURY
Before 1702 — Ruthven joins the Oriflamme family, becomes one of the Queen's advisors and a senator. The Queen is still alive, but she is also active as Naenia. Luna sees Jeanne in battle.
(33)
1702 — the end of the war. According to the pact, vampires move to Altus and sell Astermite to humans in exchange for other goods.
(33, 59)
1764 — Chloe spends more than 50 years alone. Death of village girl Jeanne, who speculated to be killed by a Beast, but was a victim of radical anti-vampire group. On the same day, she is visited by Naenia and then meets Jean-Jacques. The Beast conspiracy continues.
(36, 33)
1767 — Chloe witnesses one of the murders and reveals her vampiric powers when she defends herself. After that, the general belief is that Chloe is the master of the mysterious nonexistent Beast and both are the culprits. Her human family is killed. A few days later the Chasseurs (Vampire eradication fraction?) and Ruthven come to Gévaudan. Jean-Jacques becomes a Cursebearer to protect Chloe. Jeanne, now the Hellfire Witch, finds Chloe. Chloe tries to jump off a cliff, but Naenia comes to her again. Chloe also becomes the Cursebearer. Jeanne kills other hunters, but Ruthven saves her, makes her give him an oath (she tries to resist) and puts her in deep sleep. The Beast stops attacks. Conspiracy between Ruthven and the Chasseurs presumably continues.
(35, 36, 37, 43, 39)
UNKNOWN MOMENT BETWEEN 1672-1702 — Luna witnesses Jeanne in a fight with vampires. Later, after 1767, Luna also knew about Jeanne’s sleep.
(4)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
XIX CENTURY
1861 — Olivier is born. 
1862 — Roland is born.
1868 — Dominique and Louis are born. Teacher takes Louis.
(46)
1869 — Noé is born.
1870 — Vanitas is born; Dante is born.
1873 — Astolfo is born.
~ 1875 — Olivier meets Roland.
(58)
~ 1874-1875 — an elderly couple finds Noé. They live together for some time.
(9)
~ 1876 — Mikhail is born. Luca is probably born around the same time or a bit later.
~ 1876-1877 — Noé is kidnapped and ends up in a black market, gets an eye injury and is bought by Teacher. Noé meets Domi and Louis (their proportions are quite similar to Astolfo in his childhood flashbacks, where he is presumed to be around 8 years old, but Noé looks younger, so here I’m assuming Noé and the twins could be 6-7 or 7-8 years old). // Probably around the same time, Dante is abandoned by unknown woman. He meets Johann and Riche. Absence of his glasses and bandages indicate that there could be at least a few weeks or months between the two events. 
(9, 61, 62)
~ before 1881 — Vanitas is orphaned and placed under the care of the Church as a potential future Chasseur, but is kidnapped by Moreau for secret experiments.
(49)
1881 — sketch of the Tower of the Sun by Amédée Sébillot, electrical engineer. He worked with engineer Jules Bourdais on this project, but in fact the tower was unrealizable. If the monument designed by Sébillot was real, it would have collapsed under its own weight.
Before or early 1881 — Roland and Olivier move to Paris. Roland is injured, but it’s unknown how it happened. Olivier’s hairstyle may indicate that it happened earlier than the time when Roland almost died. 
(46.5)
~ 1881 — Roland (vice-captain) is injured while defending Olivier. Olivier was injured too. // Misha (who looks about 5 years old??) meets Roland, but later ends up in Moreau's laboratory, where Vanitas is already located.
(47)
~ 1881-1882 — Astolfo secretly meets a vampire. When Astolfo befriends Olivier, he tells him about this secret. The death of the Granatum family. Astolfo meets Carl, Roland (his injuries, which were still visible when he met Misha, have already healed) and other Paladins. Olivier definitely had a title of Obsidian by the time of Granatums’ murder, so some time passes between the day Astolfo met a vampire and the day of Granatums’ murder. 
(48, 58) 
~ 1882-1883 1881-1882* — Louis dies. Domi learns the truth about her and Louis being twins. // Luna saves Misha and Vanitas when they destroy Moreau's lab*. Moreau joins the Charlatan. Misha agrees to be bitten by Luna. Later, Luna loses their true name; Misha loses their arm; Luna dies by Vanitas’s hands. Vanitas and Misha inherit the Books, but are separated, and Teacher takes Misha.
*@torterrachampion mentioned in reblog that Noé is officially 12 years old when Louis’s died ang provided an image from a booklet for the Blu-ray of the anime. I completely missed that fact, so thank you for bringing it up! I’ve decided to change the time range for this event to 1881-1882 for better accuracy.
*It is likely that Noé witnessed Louis’s death around the same time Vanitas and Misha were saved by Luna; bonus card features Noé in the same outfit as on the day of Louis’s death together with Vanitas dressed in his lab clothes. 1881 or 1882 is a possible year for Louis’s death and salvation of Vanitas and Misha. In this scenario Luna dies later than Louis.
(9, 46, 51, * bonus card)
1887 — possible start of construction of the Tower of the Sun (in reality, the construction of the Eiffel Tower started on 28 January 1887).
~ 1887-1888 — Astolfo and Roland have a conflict.
(59)
UNKNOWN MOMENT (after 1702?) BEFORE 1888 — Veronica and Loki, along with Machina, become Beastias, and Antoine enters the Senate. How old are Veronica, Antione and Loki?
UNKNOWN MOMENT (not earlier than 12 years?*) BEFORE 1888 — “death” of Faustina at the hands of her Beasts and Rusven. Luka replaces her on the throne, but the Senate controls him. Strangely, he isn’t even officially presented yet. It’s unknown how old he was when he assumed his current position, but it’s unlikely that the Senate and Beastias would “kill” the Queen without choosing a suitable successor first.
*Alternatively, it could happen earlier, if Loki, Luca’s older brother, was supposed to inherit the throne prior to becoming a cursebearer as well, but was replaced with Luca. But this is a pure speculation.
(38, 13)
UNKNOWN MOMENT BEFORE 1874 — Archivists disappear. It’s unknown whether there are any living Archivists other than Machina and Noé in the present. It’s also unknown why Noe thinks about blood when he thinks about his clan.
(57)
UNKNOWN MOMENT BETWEEN 1871-1888 — Vanitas meets Teacher, or Saint—Germain, who at that time had a different appearance. Were Luna alive at that moment?
(55)
UNKNOWN MOMENT BEFORE 1888 — Machina becomes patron of the dhampires and creates her network of information brokers.
(62)
~ 1888 (before current events) — Astolfo and Roland become Paladins. // 6 month before — Teacher goes somewhere. // 1 month before — Jeanne awakens from her sleep.
(13, 4)
1888 — Teacher asks Noé to witness the story of the Book of Vanitas via correspondence. Current events begin.
(1, 52)
Possible future event — The Exposition Universelle of 1889, which was held in Paris, 5 May to 31 October. The Tower of Sun (instead of Eiffel Tower in VnC universe) was created for this fair. However, at least some of the buildings were ruined.
(44, 20.5, 46, 55)

That’s it for now! I think I will update this post in future when we have enough new information to define unclear dates and add new details and whatnot~
