Junelezen 2024 - Day 1 - Hello

"Hello and Welcome! It's a pleasure to meet you." Oscar greets with a wide smile. "My name is Oscar Moreau. I hope we can be friends."

Junelezen has started. Here's hoping it goes well for everyone. Both the theme month and the actual month.

[mimble-sparklepudding]

Oscar Moreau of @kannedia

Mimble would be delighted to find someone (almost) as cheerfully optimistic as he is and would happily compare dance moves, whether in the context of sparring or simply showing off.

He would also enjoy drinking pixieberry tea and sharing increasingly silly stories, although how many of them are the actual unvarnished truth would be for Oscar to judge...

Humble would probably be a little shy, as he often is (especially around boys), but would probably find Oscar quite easy to talk to compared to most people.

Humble would be surprised that such a lithe and elegant Elezen gentleman was also an experienced pugilist, but he would be happy to talk techniques, or even to spar a little if asked.

He would think Oscar to be rather clever and would hope that he might explain some interesting astronomy facts or regale him with myths and folktales, but he would not want to put upon Oscar by actually asking him.

[sae-mian]

Nira’sae and Oscar for the ask game please. I have a link tomorrow two profiles for him in my pinned post.

'Heh... cute.'

It wouldn't take very long at all for Nira'sae to clock Oscar as a puppy-coded sweetheart, with the harmless kind of presence that they'd be at ease with. He strikes them as the kind of person that would make them wish they weren't an only child - a younger brother that they want to protect and watch grow.

(nevermind that they're barely older than him--)

You know what, after @cyrankaa’s post about Jeremy’s favorite movie being Mamma Mia! I have decided it’s time to speak my truth

Me the first time Jeremy showed up in TSC: haha he was for sure a theater kid in high school

Me when Jeremy mentioned he was an English major: oh he is so a Shakespeare enjoyer

Me when Jeremy mentioned being Boykisser™️: I would bet actual money this bitch fucking LOVES Twelfth Night

Il n'y a aucune déraison à côtoyer une Salomé, femme naturelle, c'est à dire abominable comme le disait (effrayé) Charles Baudelaire. La mienne danse avec les mots et obtient ce qu'elle aurait pu demander, la reconnaissance de sa force passive, de sa **vitgueur**.

La tête sur un plateau !

Certaine castration ne sont pas mortelles comme dans L'empire des sens de Nagisha Oshima. 

La tête tranchée rituellelement, ce n'est pas la vengeance cathartique d'Artemisia Gentileschi, in Judith et Holopherne. 

Lire suffit pour mesurer l'influence subreptice et sans stratagème. 

Elle m'a fait couper la tête par mon ombre. 

There is no unreason in rubbing shoulders with a Salome, a natural woman, that is to say abominable as Charles Baudelaire (frightened) said. Mine dances with words and gets what she could have asked for, the recognition of her passive strength, her **vitgueur**.

Head on a platter!

Some castrations are not fatal as in Nagisha Oshima's Empire of the Senses. 

The ritually severed head is not the cathartic revenge of Artemisia Gentileschi, in Judith and Holopherne

Reading is enough to measure the surreptitious influence without stratagem. 

She had my head cut off by my shadow.

salome with the head of john the baptiste by gustave moreau (1876)

[jeanmoroses]

which aftg characters would be in which f1 team & why:

for the purposes of this au i'm going to pretend the strategists rankings and managers for every team don't exist so this is purely based off vibes !!! also if you have other ideas feel free to let me know nothing is set in stone hehe

red bull: kevin and andrew. red bull is SO ravens coded and max verstappen is quite literally a kevin day variant (and vice versa). hc that kevin and riko used to race for red bull together (can you see where this is going. yeah) and andrew ended up replacing riko as the second rb driver

mclaren: shawn and derrick. shawn as lando norris and derrick as oscar piastri i don't have to explain this i think

ferrari: jeremy knox and jean moreau. jeremy is basically ferrari personified (he’s like a mix of charles, carlos, and george) while jean used to drive as an alternate for kevin & riko then transferred to ferrari after riko's crash/suicide

mercedes: matt and neil. matt/lewis older brothers of the grid and neil as the underdog (george russell). in an alternate universe this is kevin and neil

aston martin: nicky and allison. i’m not comparing nicky to alonso but allison and lance stroll (don't come for me i'm a lance stroll enjoyer i swear). also aston martin sounds so vintage and rich i think it fits them

visa rb: cat and laila. yuki telling reporters he wants to open a restaurant every interview just reminds me of cat LMAO but i don't know how this would work with the red bull and visa correlation so i guess aston martin and visa are interchangeable ? i still like it this way tho

haas: cody and pat. they would tell each other “suck my balls” on national television. underrated duo ngl

alpine: nabil and derek. okay this was really random i was running out of characters HAHHAH but pierre and esteban kind of do remind me of nabil and derek like imagine them on the track

williams: xavier and min. unproblematic team for unproblematic drivers i love alex and logan

kick sauber/audi: haoyu and travis. another unproblematic team i can see travis getting haoyu to film silly tiktoks with him and being menaces at the paddock (sometimes they rope williams into their shenanigans)

Snake is not a human with snake genes. He's a snake with human genes.

𓆚 𓆚 𓆚 Edit: I've added at the bottom something else I had forgotten about. If you've read this post before, give it a read. Sorry about that! I've made other seperate posts related so that this one doesn't get so enormous. Here are the links: The Island of Queimada Grande The Snake Charming Flute A Pet Snake Feel free to give them a peek if you found this post interesting. These posts are much more brief than this one, I promise you! :D 𓆚 𓆚 𓆚 If you're at all familiar with the 1896 early science fiction novel "The Island of Doctor Moreau" by H. G. Wells, the tittle surely might've brought it to mind. Indeed, I am basing this theory on this novel. "The Island of Dr. Moreau reflects the ethical, philosophical, and scientific concerns and controversies raised by the themes and ideas of Darwinian evolution, which were so disruptive to social norms in the late 1800s."

In brief, Doctor Moreau was an eminent physiologist (read: mad scientist) in London who ended up fleeing Great Britain due to his experiments in vivisection being publicly exposed. Vivisection is, for all intents and purposes, experimentation on live animals. What he accomplished with his experimenting was human-animal hybrids. But it's not as one would assume at first glance (as did the main protagonist in the novel), that he'd turn humans into animals, as is often portrayed in this sort of fiction or even in real-world folklore (think werewolves or berserkers).

Instead, Doctor Moreau turned animals into humans. And unfortunately, through means of extremely painful surgery, which fits in quite well with a dark story such as Kuroshitsuji.

Almost all of the beast-folk are named after "what they're made of". For example: Leopard-Man, Hyena-Swine, Wolf-Man, Fox-Bear Woman, etc… And he refers to them as his children. Children he holds hostage on an island. You know, like an orphanage? The orphanage, which is mentioned in Chapter 192, could very well be "the island" where the Doctor's children were being held at. After all, an island is just like a building where one can be held in, only the walls are a vast ocean. Snake (or Oscar) refers to it as "… a terrible place." and remembering the painful surgery part, I think that's an understatement.

In a 1996 film adaptation that slightly deviated from the original work, the beast-folk as they're called, need to take a serum in order to keep them from turning back into their original form. All except for one hybrid in particular, which the doctor refers to almost perfect or the closest he's gotten to perfection. I feel inclined to mention that in the film someone confronts the protagonist with something along the lines of "What do you intend to do once you get her out of the island? Sell her to a circus?" referring to that almost perfect hybrid. I believe it to be the case that Snake could be the perfect hybrid. The doctor mentions the fact that in turning animals into humans, he could create the perfect human, devoid of its human flaws, devoid of malice. I firmly believe Snake is devoid of malice.

The whole incident with Phelps was nothing but a mistake, and Snake's paying dearly for that mistake as he got his neck sliced in the same place Phelps had the mamba bite.

Whichever the case, the plan was not very well thought through: he was going to kill Smile without knowing the circus troupe was dead and without so much as asking Smile about it. He was going to kill Sebastian too, were he not a demon. As Smile was telling him that he had infiltrated the circus in order to investigate, Snake kept flip-flopping between getting shocked with the revelation that the troupe were kidnapers and getting aggravated, insisting Smile was lying. Probably due to the snakes' chattering each of their opinions. He's confused, but he's not evil. It's clear from his reactions.

The reason I'm bringing this up is because he was acting purely on impulse. Not much thought. Or at least, the thought he put into it wasn't much. It wasn't malice guiding his actions, but a sort of instinct. Snakes don't think much about attacking when they feel threatened. If they feel inclined to do so, they just do. No questions asked. No thinking about consequences.

In the film mentioned earlier, the doctor's office looks like a small library. The doctor is obviously quite literate. However, his "children" aren't.

There seems to be quite a bit of focus on Snake not knowing how to read. First mentioned on Yana's personal blog and most recently brought up in Chapter 195. It was quite common for people to be illiterate at the time Kuro takes place, but there was a focus on Snake from Yana's part, which I only find interesting because of how his snakes were named. After famous writers.

Could the doctor have named the other snakes but not him, as he was the first snake? The Snake. Or could Snake have named the others because he himself didn't have a name? It's funny that among all his family, the one human is simply named "snake" while the ones that would be naturally referred to as snakes are named quite fancifully. It's also quite comical if you consider chapter 51, when Finnian thought Snake was "Mister Oscar" as he introduced himself with "I'm Snake…", "- Says Oscar."

If you'd like to consider going a little further and going a bit crazy on these what ifs: consider that his snakes are the others who didn't make it or reverted back to normal. The panel in chapter 195 (page 7) where Snake has himself a little dilemma (in space!) with all the snakes chiming in in his head? I know it might sound a little out there, but I think the reason those three Snakes are shown naked could be because they're not Snake, they really might be Keats, Emily, and Wilde. Either the Snake-Man hybrids all look the same, or this is how Snake visualizes them speaking, as he himself is a snake like them. The difference is that he can use human speech, so if they were to use it as well, they too would look like him… right?

In fact, he often makes little distinction. He's said this in chapter 202 when Arty asks if he's a snake charmer, to which he firmly responds, "No. Snake and us are family. - says Dan." and "We are all footmen. - Says Goethe." Before this, he says "We're all here. - says everyone." He refers to them as "us". He makes little separation between himself and the other snakes. He understands and talks to snakes because, naturally, he is a snake. And he's the only snake who can talk to humans—the only one who is also human. He's the spokesperson (spokesnake, lol) of the group. Edit: He makes different voices for different snakes. Each snake has their own voice. What if those were really their voices at some point in time? The first idea one gets from Snake is that the snakes are like parts of his personality that he's expressing through them. However, this isn't true (or entirely true) because they do really do communicate with him, as proven undeniably by Oscar sneaking into the castle basement in the Green Witch arc and bringing back information Snake had no way of knowing (and couldn't really explain very well when Bard asked for details).

In chapter 53, he's sneaked down to the cargo to share the food with "everyone" as he says. I always found it a little odd to share human food with snakes, who only eat whole animals. On the plate, there were some leaves. There are no herbivorous snakes; they're all exclusively carnivorous (insectivorous, too). Of course, the lettuce, or whatever it is, is intact. But still, snakes don't eat breaded chicken or liver pâté either… It's just odd that Snake, who's been seen feeding his snakes mice twice, suddenly thinks they'd be interested in this gourmet, first-class dish. I believe he thinks, since it's delicious to him, surely they might think so too. After all, they're all snakes. Could he get a little confused sometimes?

He's also never showed any fear of the werewolf forest while the other servants were scared as they made their way to the village in the Emerald Witch arc. He doesn't seem phased by the idea of wolf-men. He was freaked out by the torture instruments in the village though, meaning some things are scary, just not the werewolves.

Edit: I forgot to mention an interesting passage from the Kuroshitsuji Original Picture Drama live reading from 2015. As far as I know, the script was written by Yana Toboso. It's all done mainly for comedic purposes. However, there's a part where the characters are drinking and chatting and eventually some get a little tipsy. What Snake says in a drunken crying fit is "I'm a snake! I feel better if I drink a lot of sake!" Interesting, isn't it? ;) Go ahead and watch it yourself here if you feel like it: https://youtu.be/xMmrWsHLaqc?si=ozkAfssE_fLOOoaM&t=506

To end I'd also like to call attention to the cover art from Chapter 196. Him being confused about a lemon cake and a lemon tart being different snacks when they're both sweet and both cakes made it to the cover art. He's having trouble grasping how a lemon flavored dessert can be different from another lemon flavored dessert.

I think that sums it up nicely, although I might have forgotten some things. I do apologize if anyone has already made this correlation between this work by H. G. Wells and Snake's possible origins, I couldn't find anything related.

Of course it can all be explained easily by just saying he sees the snakes as family and as "us" because he has a connection to them. However, it's the "how he came to be" part that is my main motive behind the theory.

I put a lot of love and care into this theory and since Snake's flashbacks might be coming up soon, I thought I'd share it just so that it's out there for all it's worth.

Thank you so much for reading. Have a lovely day. Red

The Secret Salon

The Late 19th Century: A Time of Change in Art and Culture

The late 19th century was marked by profound cultural, technological, and societal changes. While movements like Historicism, Academicism, and Symbolism dominated the art world, a hidden subculture of LGBT artists also emerged, meeting in private salons and circles to explore their identities.

Historicism and Academicism Historicism focused on reviving past styles such as Gothic and Renaissance. In architecture and painting, historical themes were used to create dramatic or heroic effects. A prominent figure was the Austrian painter Hans Makart, known for his opulent historical paintings.

At the same time, Academicism flourished, supported by the art academies. This movement valued technical perfection and the depiction of idealized bodies. Artists like Jean-Léon Gérôme and William-Adolphe Bouguereau created works influenced by mythological and erotic themes. Sensuality played a central role, particularly in depictions of male and female beauty.

Secret LGBT Gatherings and Artistic Salons While these artistic movements were celebrated publicly, private salons emerged where LGBT artists and intellectuals met. In cities like Paris, Berlin, and Vienna, these gatherings took place behind closed doors, as homosexuality was socially taboo. Such salons provided a safe space for intimate and sensual encounters as well as the exchange of ideas.

Oscar Wilde and Magnus Hirschfeld were well-known figures who used these spaces to freely explore their sexuality and art. These gatherings often became moments of inspiration, celebrating both artistic and social freedom.

Symbolism: Exploring the Mystical and the Sensual Symbolism emerged as a counter-movement to Academicism, seeking new ways to explore the deeper, spiritual aspects of human experience. Artists like Gustave Moreau and Arnold Böcklin focused on allegorical and mystical themes, often incorporating erotic undertones.

Gustav Klimt combined both sensual and mystical elements in works like "The Kiss," creating an artistic fusion of sexuality and transcendence.

Conclusion The late 19th century was a time of change and contradictions: while the art world was dominated by traditional movements like Historicism and Academicism, hidden LGBT artist circles explored new forms of sensuality and artistic expression through intimate gatherings and salons. This era marked a transition into modernity and laid the groundwork for the radical artistic innovations of the 20th century.
