`Death Certificate in Victorian Era


  When any person dies, it is necessary at once to register the death. The first thing to be done is to obtain from the medical gentleman who last attended the deceased a certificate of the cause of death. This is to be written on a printed form supplied for that purpose from the office of the Registrar-General, at Somerset House, London, and to be had from the local Registrar of Births and Deaths. This medical certificate - a copy of which we subjoin - states the full Christian name and surname of the deceased, his age last birthday, the date when last seen, and when he died, and also the cause of death.
    As it is indispensable that the names and age of the deceased should be correctly given, it is advisable to write them down on paper, in a legible hand, and send it by the person who applies for the medical certificate.

* Each form of disease, or symptom, is reckoned from its commencement till Death.
**  If this Certificate is not signed by a qualfied Practitioner, the Registrar should write "not certified" in his Register after the cause of death; thus:- " Phthisis (six months)" not certified.
   
 [-267-] When the certificate is obtained, it is to be taken to the registrar of the sub-district in which the death took place, and information given to him of the deceased person's death.
    The persons who are qualified to do this are- 1st, some relative or other person present at the death ; 2nd, some relative or other person in attendance during the last illness of the deceased; or, in default of all such persons, from death, illness, or other disability, then, 3rd, the occupier of the house or premises; or, if the occupier shall have been the person who shall have died, 4th, some inmate of the house in which the death shall have happened.
    In addition to the cause of death, as mentioned therein, the informant must be prepared to state the date and place of death, the full name and surname of the deceased person, the correct age last birthday, and the rank, profession, or occupation of the deceased. If the deceased is a child, or an unmarried person without occupation, the full name and rank or profession of the father will be required; if a widow, those of the husband.
    After the sub-registrar has entered all these particulars in the register, and the informant has signed his name, he fills up the following certificate:-

    This certificate, when duly filled up and signed by the sub-registrar, is given by him to the informant. For doing this he is not entitled to make any charge, or receive any fee or reward.
    This certificate is now to be delivered to the undertaker, or other person in charge of the funeral, who, in accordance with the 27th section of the Registration Act, must give it, at the time of the funeral, "to the minister or officiating person who shall be required to bury or to perform any religious service for the burial of the dead body-and to no other person."

`Earrings in Victorian Males!

n Elizabethan England, earrings, or as known at the time as “ear-pickes”, were favoured by both sexes. Women’s earrings were often detailed with jewels or pearls, and draped down from the earlobe. The mens earring usually consisted of simple and plain gold and famous men of the era, such as Shakespeare and Sir Francis Drake wore one.

`Kuroshitsuji 135 and Circus Arc and Jack the Ripper Arc

Circus Arc, this was the guy talking to Baron Kelvin

Chapter 135


Also, the guy in Circus Arc used honorifics when speaking to Baron Kelvin, meaning that he is of a lower status. Power struggle?


Circus Arc


Chapter 135




I don't think that that the hooded guys or the seller knew that Ciels were of the Phantomhive family, because 40 pounds should be quite a lower price for children of nobility (inflation taken into account). Maybe they found a way to escape but ended up getting kidnapped again anyway.


Also, have you seen that :



the lady is showing her legs? which is a social taboo at that time and such a behaviour is supposedly obscene.




If you notice, the mask of the woman unmasking Ciel is wear a moth/butterfly mask

In the 'Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon' article under the Pall Mall Gazette newspaper, the editor Stead, tried to expose the truth of child prostitution and bought a girl for 5 pounds (604.33 pounds, price now). If it's of interest, an average slave cost 67.24 pounds  now.

In comparison, the Viscount priced Robin Ciel at 1000pounds (£120,865.83), it makes 40 pounds seem cheap.



However, the bidders are wearing ordinary masks.

What happened:
Nearly everyone guessed it was a gang-rape scene even though it wasn't explicitly stated. Long ago, everyone suspected he was tortured and probably sexually assaulted but not to this extent...

Demon Sacrifice and Virgin Boys
From TropeWiki (Would you count it a reliable source for this?)

A subtrope of Human Sacrifice, Virgin Sacrifices typically fall under three main categories:
1) As payment to a god or some other power, either to keep them functioning or to win their favor in general.
2) As payment to a god or some other power for the exclusive use of some powerful Applied Phlebotinum.
3) As a necessary fuel for one's own continued existence (eg: a vampire who needs to feast on -- or bathe in -- virgin blood every once in a while in order to continue living).


Popular places to conduct virgin sacrifices include, dark, skull-lined altars under glowering idols (is that the statute?) and the edges of active volcanoes. Abandoned churches with upside-down crosses in them make a nice setting for any vampiric or Satanically-themed sacrifices (although, if the church in question is in use, the alley next to it works just as well).

In the ultra-rare case that a male virgin is required for a Virgin Sacrifice, expect the situation to be played for as much humor as possible.  (not so much in Chapter 135‘s case) the squickiest of such ceremonies (which are not shown on TV for obvious reasons) involve the virgin being raped as part of the sacrifice.

Blood (maybe this is why they used rape?): Because blood is life. It has an energy, a life force. So Demons are attracted to it. Plus, it gives them some substance to take some form. If only you could see the demons attracted to the fresh corpses of the newly killed on the battlefield in times of war.
(http://www.spellsandmagic.com/BloodSacrifice.html)'



The sacrifice



It says: You have given a sacrifice, and this is before he contracts the demon.
To contract, he would then have to give up his soul meaning that one has to sacrifice a human life to summon the devil and then sacrifice his soul to have the devil grant his wish.



Connection with Queen Victoria
We know that London Bridge had a human sacrifice Theory. I'm not sure who is the one doing the sacrificing, if there's any truth to it, but maybe the Royals because the Bridge is public good aka under the state??
As with Royals, they have their fair share of rumours including Child Pedophile:

I take it with a pinch of salt though.


Sexual exploitation of children
The ‘Maiden Tribute campaign’
Indeed, one of the first modern newspaper moral crusades, run in July 1885 by W. T. Stead, the editor of the London evening paper the Pall Mall Gazette, was on the evils of child prostitution. In a series of four articles, published in July 1885 under the sensational headline ‘The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon’, Stead sought to expose the prevalence of child prostitution in the heart of the empire. He explicitly intended to put pressure on the House of Commons, which was debating and threatening to defeat, for the third time, a Criminal Law Amendment Bill raising the age of consent from 13 to 16. Countless girls, Stead claimed, were being sacrificed to the insatiable ‘London Minotaur’ in a horror far worse than those recalled in myths of ancient Greece. Stead described this underground trade in considerable detail, explaining how often unsuspecting girls were lured to their ‘ruin’, and interviewing brothel-keepers, procurers and their victims to reveal all sides of the practice. Stead’s most daring tactic was to relay how he had been able to buy, with little difficulty, a 13 year-old girl, Eliza Armstrong, for £5. The series provoked a national uproar. While some newsagents refused to stock what they regarded as an ‘obscene’ publication, there were riots outside the paper’s offices as vendors fought to get hold of extra copies. Thousands of unofficial reprints circulated around London, and the stories were spread around Europe and the United States. The matter was raised in Parliament, where the revelations changed the dynamics of the debates on the Criminal Law Amendment Bill. Stead himself was eventually prosecuted for his part in the purchase of Armstrong and he served three months in Holloway Prison. He was unbowed on release, convinced of the justice of ending what he saw as a ‘conspiracy of silence’ surrounding the subject. The eventual passage of the new legislation, which also increased police powers over brothels, seemed to testify to the power of his crusading journalism.
This campaign showed that the press could generate significant political and public debate about the sexual exploitation of children. Stead deployed a shrewd combination of melodrama, titillation and moral seriousness to capture readers’ attention, framing the problem as one with a clear enemy – the ‘dissolute rich’ – and practical solutions, namely raising the age of consent and tackling brothel owners. The combination of press interest, active campaign groups, such as the NSPCC and the National Vigilance Association, and reform-minded politicians, kept the issue on the public agenda for some years, resulting in legislation such as the Punishment of Incest Act of 1908. This momentum was, however, difficult to sustain. Women’s organisations tried to maintain the pressure for reform after 1918, but the climate they faced gradually became less hospitable, and press and parliamentary support was hard to find.

Given the girl is bought for 5 pounds, Ciel cost 8 times of that, is that a justifiable price for a son of an Earl?

Moths and Butterflies
Butterflies were often mentioned in Kuro, re Lau. This is the first time moths were mentioned, I believe:
 for the symbolism of moths: apparently it means homosexuality as well.
http://mothsymbolism.com/
https://www.insects.orkin.com/ced/issue-4/lepidopteral-symbolism/list-1/

I believe the moth in this chapter is the Male Emperor Moth because of its 4 eyes, and it is also native to Britain. I wonder if it represents that those who raped Ciels were Men?



Dates:
Apparently Vincent and Rachel died on 14 December 1885, on their twins' 10th birthday. It's a Monday and when I tried to search to see if any major events happened in Britain, nothing significant showed up. In fact nothing significant in the month of December, so oh well

More analysis when I can think clearly!

`Kuroshitsuji Chapter 135

This seems more like the Kuro I know.
Graphic content ahead, read it after Christmas if you want a good one :'(
I desperately need to talk to someone about it, my sudden reappearance here is proof of how much it shocks me and how I need serious therapy.

Ps: please support sensei by purchasing it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078692BJL?tag=viglink20248-20

`Phantom and the Ghost

After the long hiatus, I am back! This time I am part of a new project - the Phantom and the Ghost team!

Released in 2009, the original Japanese DS game was never translated to English and is not much discussed in the fandom because not many people have the game or can comprehend Japanese. I was contacted by Phantom over email after she found my blog (apparently much Googling was needed).

Please join us if you can, arigatou! The more people, the faster we can wrap things up. Gone are my days where I devote 6h a week to translating the weekly episodes, now i am lucky I can devote 6h a month translating #adulthoodisreal

Phantom is such a sweetie:

Hang in there! I don't want anyone getting really stressed out over this project, which is why everything is so open. Just do what you can and enjoy it, even if it takes another ten years to finish (I hope not):joy: )


So join the family!  <<  LINK >>

`hello guys!

I'm been on hiatus for a really long time *guilty* Ever since kuroII stopped I don't know what I should post... it seems a little weird to be posting my thoughts about the separate chapters every month. Maybe I'll do more translation... or perhaps divulge a little more of myself? :D What do you guys think? (for my long time readers, if you are still around, thankyou *hugs*)

`Chapter 69



It started off as another day in school



With a long deed of list that Ciel ordered Sebastian to do in order to gain favour with Clayton


Ciel the Pinocchio. Sebastian with expression "totally fooled" (directed at the student with Ciel) .


L in AD 1890!!!! Look!!! the cross legs, the pouring of ...syrup? I bet anyway it's something sweet!!





The gathering of the prefects and fags



Maurice, the best tea brewer.




Can't resist the arrows. But that is essentially what hurt Cole!


See that? Maurice Cole is obviously being threatened by Ciel.





Assessing your enemy is always important.


Ciel has a rapist face here.


I laughed at the ironic of this. A demon wearing the rosary? That brings back Father Jeremy. I think Seb secretly enjoys playing along the boundary between God and Devil. And demon with kindness? That makes him an angel~~

This part totally makes me swoon. I feel great pity for that student who didn't see their evil faces :D

Ciel was tricked by Cole about the timing of the meeting with the prefects. AWWWWW Ciel!!! He's really so cute!!! Even though he's supposed to be the mature head of household, but he is still a 13year old after all :3



Die, Maurice. Thou hath offend thy Lord!
