Carnival and "Mardi-Gras". [French Folks Traditions] part 2 : Masks and disguises.

If they are rudimentary, they generally symbolize the abolition of social and sexual barriers, but also animal and human. Men dressed as women (and vice versa), paper masks, widespread accoutrements, blackening of the face or even part of the body with shoe polish or charcoal (a well-known Celtic tradition), animal adornments (such as animal skins, horn crowns), are common.

In the Vallespir valley (Pyrenees) for example, the bear is honored in a dramatization that depicts its hunt while it tries to capture a woman.

The Cavalcades : Rabelais (in his Quart Livre) speaks of a mannequin named "Mâche-croutte" ~ "Chew-the-Crust" ~ who was paraded in Lyon. This (popular) dragon was a "monstrous, ridiculous, hideous and terrible effigy in the eyes of small children : it had eyes larger than its belly, a head larger than the rest of its body, with large and horrific, very serrated jaws [...] which are regularly snapped in a terrifying way."

A few centuries later (18th century) Mâche-Croute, who no longer appears in the Carnival, becomes a bogeyman used to scare children.

[vincenzonova]

I have never written a fanfic in my life, but this "Code LYOKO 10-15 years later AU" just keeps writing itself in my head.

And Clone!William is still alive. Dont look it up.

Carnival and "Mardi-Gras". [French Folks Traditions] part 1.

The three days that end the Carnival (Shrove Sunday, Shrove Monday, Shrove Tuesday) are generally called "incoming Lent" or "taking Lent". In French it is famous : "carême entrant", "carême prenant".

However, it is mainly on "Shrove Tuesday" that the rites related to the prosperity and protection of farm animals and crops are concentrated. It is also the day of masquerades, charivaris and other processions; and the night during which the diabolical meetings of cats, called the "cat sabbats", are supposed to take place.

The Masquerades:

According to Van Gennep, the origin of the word Carnival comes from the ecclesiastical late Latin "carne levaris, carne levarium, carne levarem" or "to remove the flesh".

The Carnival period is a time of reversal of established codes. We already know the probable recovery by the church of themes related to the Roman Saturnalia.

The primitive forms of certain disguises as well as the execution of a mannequin personifying the cycle have incontestably a very ancient aspect, and it is perhaps in the Middle Ages that these gestures were inscribed in the cycle of the Carnival. These festivities are sometimes accompanied by quests for victuals, from parents and neighbors, which will then be used to realize a group feast.

Brueghel the Elder, the fight between Lent and Carnival, detail.

Sissi 7/7

[vincenzonova]

So my CL project is as much of an AU as it is a sequel. That said, I always felt like Sissi would be such a strong addition to the group, so here she is. Don't be completely fooled by her devilish appearance- on top of being a great fighter with a Toya Staff, she's also the group's healer.
