Fashionable bat costumes for your next costumed ball!
From La Mode Illustrée (1887), proposed fancy dress ball costume
From Fliegende Blätter (1882); it’s a satire magazine so it’s almost certainly mocking the idea, but I’m gonna take it at face value
Sighing rn. Thinking about this one shot from the MV of the Undead Climax Song
The song is called Resurrection of Soul. When we think of resurrection, we think of Phoenixes rising from the ashes. I can’t help but think this shot is a reference to that. Rei is being resurrected from a member of Deadmanz to a member of UNDEAD. In Resurrection Sunday, we learn that Koga named the unit UNDEAD because he wanted to inspire Rei to keep on living after he looked like a corpse during the war. He wanted to “resurrect” Rei. I think this shot has bat wings not just to match UNDEAD’s theme, but because it was UNDEAD that resurrected Rei
Rei has spoken before about how UNDEAD has helped him. UNDEAD resurrected Rei from the dead man he was in Crossroad, and I hope the upcoming climax event and anime can show that to non-UNDEAD fans
And I definitely think it will. I don’t think it is a coincidence that Rei’s cg is him hugging Koga. LOOK HOW HAPPY HE IS HUGGING HIM TOO. Koga is really important to UNDEAD and its formation, but he doesn’t get much moments to shine in Crossroad compared to Rei and Keito, so I hope the Climax Event gives us some good moments for first year Koga too
Happy Birthday Adonis!

Women in big hats and sundresses on the Train to San Francisco to gaze longingly into the bay from the Presidio or maybe the top of a hill, Reblog if you agree
The troubadour looks up from his lute. “Your majesty will hear Pastime With Good Company, but first we shall extol the virtues of Priory Porridge for thirty seconds. Your majesty may pay a sovereign to not offend his royal ears”.

rei’s monologue in the second to last chapter is everything to me. maybe I’m reading into it too much, but this feels like foreshadowing for deeper adonis development… “adonis’ love is a wonderful thing. sweet, pure, and warm. and that’s why it’s so poisonous.”
ive always believed the reason why rei and adonis developed so differently despite being so similar deep down was because rei grew up shouldering the burdens of an adult and seeing love as indistinguishable from obligation, while adonis grew up in a truly loving family, so he has a healthier conception of love. but adonis is also just as self-sacrificing. maybe that changed between saqr faith in !-era and burning body in !!, where adonis goes from singing about not caring if his body is burned up by the sun to singing about wanting this fire in him to drive him… but maybe it hasn’t changed. will rei have to stand by and watch as adonis is devoured by his own love? as his mother’s love “becomes a chain that binds him”?
(adonis event story spoilers under cut)
so you’re telling me urania was a child, shouldering burdens no child should ever have to shoulder, when adonis comforted her with his song? a simple comforting gesture that meant nothing to him and everything to her? a gesture he forgot almost immediately, but that she carried with her for years to come? that she brought all the way with her to japan?
wow! that story doesn’t sound familiar at all to another experience in adonis’ life. anyway, im going to go listen to the fully voiced Reincarnation: Chapter 8 from the !-era story Resurrection Sunday for no reason in particular.
AI defenders will make it seem as if art is this gatekept pastime that only the most elite can partake in and they’re making it possible for the “normies” to create meanwhile one of the most memorable pieces of recent art I’ve ever seen is “My son’s drawing of safe”
Read this if you haven't already.
So do people realize that we aren't building new train tracks when we expand the amteak network, I have multiple times seen people say that we shouldn't expand the network because it would destroy protected lands, which would be a fair criticism but Amtrak doesn't build new tracks, we use existing tracks. We are not destroying protected lands, we are using land that has already been clear for a century
