Ch209, Spoilers part one

We see the circus arc through Snake's POV, starting around the time our earl and Sebastian are snooping around the tents.

Snake seems suspicious of the new circus troupe members, while Joker and Dagger seem to have accepted them.

He makes his report, based on observations and what his snakes tell him, though I have a feeling the snakes told him more information than he's passing on to Joker.

And here, below, I wonder if he's overhearing a discussion that the other first tier members didn't want him to hear?

Then the first tier members leave and don't return. Snake asks around the remaining troupe about their disappearance. The circus probably won't last much longer without the main attractions.

Whatever he learns, he decides to leave and find out earl and Sebastian. I don't know how he finds out where their manor is located. Then it's confronting them in the greenhouse.

A replay of our earl extending his hand and offering Snake a job there.

Snake accepting the offer.

Snake learning to read and write and do chores. Then the rude people on the ship...

...followed by our earl boosting his confidence.

As well as whatever Sebastian says there.

Part two in a moment or two.

A tragic parallel between the F.O.L orphanage and Baron Kelvin’s workhouse

I wanted to point out that it’s interesting “the oldest siblings” of each group actually aren’t the ones getting their “fledging day” first. 

In fact, as we could see with this chapter, little Ginny who was scared of horses, something unbefitting of her aptitude as a Corgi, is the one who got a sudden “fledging day”. 

Thanks to this chapter, it’s also pretty obvious that “the oldest siblings” know where the other kids are sent, as indicated by Oliver’s and Artie’s scared reactions in this chapter.

The “oldest siblings” being aware of what’s going on also explains why Oliver sort of “protected” Daniel, when he conveyed to the adults that he didn’t fit in the Collie group. 

In other words, when the operation needs a kid (for blood or some other reason), it’s those who don’t fit in who get taken first so, Ginny aside, we should also definitely worry about Daniel but also Nick from the Pomeranian group.

Focusing a little bit on Artie, a Mastiff, who brought Daniel, a Collie, to his class and Oliver who interrupted Daniel talking about “fledging day”, it seems the “oldest siblings” are trying as hard as they can to protect the other kids from meeting a terrible fate. This also explains Theo’s helpful attitude with Ginny in the last chapter: 

However, despite Theo’s best efforts, the adults noticed that Ginny was not living up to her aptitudes as a Corgi and she’s now about to reach “fledging day”. ://

The “oldest siblings” also definitely know that Doll is probably the one who’s watching over the whole orphanage operation, as indicated by their reactions when Snake introduced himself as Doll’s acquaintance...

...And it’s very interesting, because I think it creates a parallel with Doll’s own situation, back when she was alive. 

After all, as a kid from Kelvin’s workhouse, when she joined Noah’s Ark, Doll began abducting kids with Joker and co to satisfy Kelvin’s madness but also to protect their younger siblings back at the orphanage. However, this was all for naught, as Kelvin had already killed those kids for his mad project, something our!Ciel discovered at the end of the arc.

At F.O.L orphanage, the “oldest siblings” act similarly: they were probably told the sad truth behind this orphanage and they have no other way but to go along with it in order to survive, which makes them accomplices, while still trying as hard as they can to protect many of their fellow “siblings” so that they won’t get to their “fledging day” too quickly. 

It’s tragic really and, since they think Snake and Finny are Doll’s friends, they probably won’t trust them to help. :/ 

The single silver ray of hope I have is that Theo reminds Finny of someone: could be either twins or it could be a kid from Finny’s own tragic past from that scientific lab in Germany and, in that case, if Theo can eventually trust Finny, then maybe Finny and Snake will learn the truth and help save all these kids.

It would also make a beautiful parallel with Theo reading Fenian cycle... 

...since our Finny is indeed stronger than many others and could definitely help saving them. 

TL;DR Doll probably pushed the “oldest siblings” into the same situation that she experienced when she was alive: become accomplices in order to survive but also to protect innocent children, which is exactly how she lost herself and died. Here’s to hoping that Snake (who wasn’t a part of Noah’s Ark abduction ring) and Finny (who’s very strong) will be able to realize the truth in time, in order to help these children.

you know what? I'll say it. The story of Noah's arc or whatever it's named in english is DUMB. How do you intend on remaking species without using incest and causing genetical dysfunctions with only two animals, GENIUS

Washed Away

Little girls prayed for ponies

I prayed for restart

I prayed to be ripped to pieces

For the fire to burn

Ashes to ashes

From the ashes arise something new

Redo

I was too ruined, corrupt, broken

Like the earth I must be drowned out

If he could wash away an entire planet

Why not one whole person

If entire creation needed decimation

Why not me?

Like Noah and his ship survived my body would remain a vestige

But all that made me me must go

Like the sinners of the earth

Washed away

Christeners

I dream of angels, rain, and God’s will manifesting slowly. If there’s a rainbow, I won’t live to see it.

Temples, in my experience, are made of dark stone and painted. I’ve never had to deal with colorless light before.

The water closed over me, a baptism.

A beauty.

A betrayal.

⚠️ Editing this with a content warning for absurd amounts of nonsensical ramblings about parallels between Anime Original Content from the 2008’s Black Butler adaptation and Manga Canon — and their (in my head) possible implications ⚠️

I’m serious, I am literally warning you, this is written like I was having a fever dream while stabbing pictures in a pinboard. You’ve been warned.

OH MY GOD IM SORRY IF THIS DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE BUT I HAD A THOYGHT OK OK LISTEN TO MW THIS IS JUST DOCUMENTING INSANW THOYGHTS

2008’S BLACK BUTLER GOES RED BUTLER ARC > DEMON DOG FILLER > SHARD OF HOPE ARC (THIS WEIRD MASHUP BETWEEN THE CIRCUS ARC AND THEIR VERSION OF BIZARRE DOLS) OK? OK

SO. IF WE JAVE, IN THE MANGA, BOTH THE CIRCUS AS A FACADE FOR HUMAN TRAFICCKING AND PORCELAIN BODY PARTS INVOLVED AND THE DEAD SOULESS PEOPLE BEING REVIVED IN A SIXK TEISTED WAY USING THEIR HOPES ANS DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE. AND IN THE ANIRM THIS IS ONE DINGLE ARC. DOES THIS MWAN UNDERTAKER MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN IT TOO? JUST LIKE HE WAS BEHIND THE BLOOD COLLECTING FACILITIES

[blackbutlerfandomnerddomain]

The Great Flood is a True Conspiracy

I came up with my own conspiracy theory. I have a sneaky suspicion that all of the stories about "The Flood" from all of the different cultures and past civilizations around the world, are all True. They are warning us about climate change. Each civilization had to live through a greenhouse period where seas rose similar to today, and to warn the next generation they created the story of The Flood to make it simple enough for all of us to understand, and be passed down from generation to generation. Our current greenhouse period is no different than any other, except that we're accelerating the process with the industrial world we've created. It was coming regardless of our behavior, but we should prepare ourselves for its effects on nature and society.

Wikipedia... There have been at least five major ice ages in Earth's history. Outside these ages, Earth seems to have been ice-free even in high latitudes, such periods are known as greenhouse periods. (we live in a greenhouse period today)

The most severe ice age of the last billion years, occurred from 720 to 630 million years ago, and may have produced a Snowball Earth in which glacial ice sheets reached the equator, possibly being ended by the accumulation of greenhouse gases such as CO2 produced by volcanoes.

...clearly this happens over and over, and when it does, it turns society upside down...are we going to heed the message? On the opposite side, I wonder how past civilizations dealt with the Ice Ages that follow. Me, I'd rather live in the greenhouse period than the ice age...happy and grateful for being right where I am
