Happy Holy Monday - AKA Happy Claudiataker Day!

I'm officially declaring Holy Monday as Claudiataker Day, by the power vested in me as your local tinfoil theorist! *throws champagne bottle at calendar*

This week (April 13-19) is the holy week that precedes Easter Sunday, consisting of Palm Sunday, Holy Monday, Holy/Fig Tuesday, Holy/Spy Wednesday, Holy/Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy/Great Saturday. Holy Monday is the day on which Jesus Christ is said to have cursed the fig tree, cleansed the temple, and responded to the questioning of his authority.

So what does Holy Monday have to do with Claudiataker? Holy Monday is actually the day Claudia Phantomhive was born - April 5th, 1830. But since Easter, and by extension Holy Monday, is a moveable feast dependent on the lunar cycle, it doesn't fall on the same day every year. And in the year 1331, it fell on March 25 - which I believe to be the date Undertaker/Cedric K. Ros- was born. If he died on January 28, 1366, he would have been 34 when he committed suicide - the same age his son Vincent would be when murdered in 1885.

So in a way, Undertaker and Claudia share a birthday! This shared birthday is remarkably similar to a popular medieval French tale of forbidden romance that I believe served as inspiration for Undertaker and Claudia's love story. In that story, the two lovers are born on the same day (Palm Sunday) and are both named after the flowers strongly associated with Easter - red roses, and white lilies.

Easter has already been associated with Undertaker - both with the religious imagery of his character (the crown of thorns on his death scythe and on Claudia's locket especially), and with the reveal of his secret identity as a grim reaper on the Campania falling on Good Friday - April 19, 1889.

This year is shaping up to be a very exciting Easter. Holy Monday falls on April 14th this year, of all days, and we have another very exciting Good Friday approaching - April 18, 2025. This Good Friday the Black Butler hiatus will end with the release of Chapter 214...

And well. Chapter 214, Good Friday. It would be a very well-timed opportunity for another big reveal about Undertaker's identity, now wouldn't it?

Happy Holy Monday, wishing you all a very happy end-of-hiatus Easter, and Long Live Claudiataker!!!!

I feel like this has never been cleared up in the manga, or maybe I just missed it.

Seb can detect humans, it's clearly stated in multiple arcs, but can he detect grim reapers?? He didn't say anything about Grell in red butler arc, and had zero clue about UT at all, so does he just detect their presence as human presence???

Stay with me guys... The Undertaker reveal as a grim reaper to Ciel happened on the Campania on Good Friday in 1889... What if Undertaker's identity as Cedric K. Ros- gets revealed on Good Friday in the year of our lord 2025?

Daily reminder: Transphobia actively contributes to sexism. If you don’t fit the beauty standard and are seen as masculine in any way shape or form, you are seen as transgender and as a “problem”

I think it's incredibly important here to not overlook the fact that she is a Black woman. Transphobia, racism, and sexism overlap significantly because of the incredibly eurocentric beauty standards women are judged on.
