Ok Ok So There Were Some Differences In The Anime's Version Of Lizzy's Flashback I Found Interesting:

ok ok so there were some differences in the anime's version of Lizzy's flashback i found interesting:

Like look at what this scene implies here. That Lizzy was grieving so much that she was stuck to the graves constantly until Ciel came back, like lifting off a curse. And she was still wearing black, which yes she should've been. I think it was odd that she didn't in the manga, but it was likely because she was told her fiance was back, so her mourning garbs weren't necessary.

Also I like how Ciel has to lean up to Lizzy here, showing her maturity/size is something he has to measure up to, so she makes sure to shorten that distance as much as possible.

Last detail, it's cute how instead of Ciel checking on Lizzy falling behind, he points out a dress she might like. Definitely shows how she associates her sacrifice with being rewarded with his affection.

05.13.25. Happy Birthday Francis 🥳🥳

My relatable queen... I love Francis so much (and her complex relationship with her father, if that wasn't made clear from the art I commissioned from the wonderful & talented lacediap).

While we don't know Francis' canonical birthday, I believe she was born on May 13, 1853 - yet another significant Friday the 13th in the Phantomhives' lives, a pattern that seems to have begun with Vincent's birth on Friday June 13, 1851... Or did it?

When this panel is animated I will ascend.

If you assume a gestational period of exactly nine months, Vincent would have also been conceived on a Friday the 13th - September 13, 1850. And I crunched the numbers, pulled out the old Victorian calendar - and if Francis was born on Friday May 13, 1853, she would have been conceived on Friday August 13, 1852.

Evidently Undertaker and Grandma P really liked getting freaky on Friday the 13ths 😏

Another odd coincidence are the ages at which Claudia and Cedric died - Claudia died at the age of 36, in 1866, and I believe Cedric (Undertaker) was born on March 25th, 1331 (a significant date in a year which has the number '13' forwards and backwards) and that he died on January 28, 1366 (corresponding with his reaper serial number, 136649). This would mean he killed himself when he was 34 - the same age his son Vincent would be when murdered in 1885.

Meanwhile Claudia is confirmed to have died at the age of 36, on Friday July 13, 1866. And if Francis was born on May 13 1853, that means that in the current setting of the manga, December 1889, she is 36 years old...
