Yes, I would be very interested hearing your head canon (@tim-ribbert-56) (in response to this post)

I have decided for my personal entertainment that Clarisse de Cagliostro is related to Lupin III, and here's why.

-pulls out Arsène Lupin's Wikipedia page-

In the novel La Comtesse de Cagliostro, a young Arsène Lupin (at the time going by the name Raoul d'Andrésy) was courting Clarisse d'Etigues, a young lady of a well-to-do family, and trying to win her hand, despite her father's disapproval.

Throughout the course of the novel, Lupin meets and falls in love with Joséphine Balsamo, aka the Countess of Cagliostro, and abandons Clarisse in favour of her. To clarify, Joséphine is not actually countess of anything, she is (or claims to be) a descendant of Giuseppe Balsamo aka the Count of Cagliostro (who was also count of jack shit), a famous conman from the 18th century.

Shenanigans ensue, which I will not go into in details on, but oh my god I am insane about Raoul and Joséphine, I want to dissect them and study them under a microscope. It turns out Joséphine aka Cagliostro is evil as fuck, Raoul/Lupin realizes that and goes back to Clarisse (whom he had previously abandoned like an old sock, I fucking hate this guy), marries her, and a few years later has her kid.

Unfortunately Clarisse dies in childbirth, and Joséphine, who was still around and very very pissed at Lupin (and jealous as hell of Clarisse whom, may I mention, had never personally antagonized her in any way whatsoever, Joséphine is just fucking bonkers). Joséphine also kidnaps Lupin and Clarisse's son, Jean, and raises him as her own son. (I have not yet read the following novel The revenge of Cagliostro so I don't really know what Jean's deal is, I just know he's an antagonist).

The following is my headcanon, based on these events. In the universe of Lupin III, Joséphine Balsamo was actually countess of the small kingdom of Cagliostro (maybe Giuseppe was count, maybe he conned his way into becoming count, maybe he bought the land and built a fake kingdom with a fake history, who knows).

After the events of The revenge of Cagliostro, Jean settles down in the country of Cagliostro, gets married, has a child, and that child will later have a daughter of their own, who they name Clarisse, after their late grandmother. Clarisse de Cagliostro, of Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro fame, would thus be the great-grand-daughter of Arsène Lupin, making her Lupin III's cousin/niece/whatever you call this specific degree of separation.

I am choosing to make Clarisse de Cagliostro a great-granddaughter of Arsène Lupin, rather than a granddaughter, because Arsène Lupin was very young when the events I described unfolded: he is 20 years old when he meets Clarisse d'Etigues and the whole Cagliostro debacle happens, and 25 by the time Jean is born. I'm assuming he had Lupin II much later in his life. So Jean and Lupin II (half-brothers) would have a significant difference in age, and so Jean's hypothetical child (grandchild of Arsène Lupin, so of the same generation of Lupin III) would be much older than Lupin III. Clarisse de Cagliostro is younger than him, maybe around the same age if you stretch it, so she's have to be a great-grandchild.

Now I need to read The revenge of Cagliostro and study Arsène Lupin's wikipedia page in more detail to determine when exactly Lupin II was born and who his mother was. And also where Albert's family branched out, because the fact that he's called D'Andrésy should theoretically place him as a descendant of Arsène Lupin's mother but not of Arsène Lupin himself; but Jean was also going by that last name, so who fucking knows.

No I am not insane I promise, I am just a gigantic nerd.

[ID: a long vertical digital sketch. on the top is a red heart — in the style of the undertale/deltarune heart — off of which hangs a number of red strings. some of these wrap and tie around the fingers of Kris’s hand — immediately below the heart — which is blue with purple-painted nails. the red strings are braided with a light blue, and the light blue strings hand off of kris’s fingers like marionette strings and tie around noelle’s fingers. her hand is stretched out so her fingers are raised, pulled from the taut of the strings. from her hand comes a snowfall, below which is a single large, stylized snowflake. End ID.]

obsessed with toxic married JackieShauna

Shauna thinks Jackie’s having an affair? she‘s going to spend the week at her mother’s and ignore Jackie’s texts until Jackie shows up and begs her through the door

Jackie finds out Shauna has been texting Adam Martin? hunger strike, followed by fainting and a car crash for attention

both of them finally smiling and happy after feeling like they’ve safely blocked off all the exits and started a fire indoors? peak JackieShauna

Soppy and wet miserable beasts as well as So Serious We're-Just-Enemies-Bros, a good mix :,) also peterstakh gives Rubin holding Petr up like a sad wiggly newborn milk-drunk kitten and I love it

I'm this close to blacklisting all content related to the stupid wizard franchise and miss "antisemitic in a girlboss way" the creator. I cannot take it anymore I'm at my fucking limit.

I don't care if she does something terrible. Literally why are we still talking about this? I don't care about hurry putter shut the fuck up about hurry putter

y'know I always interpreted "no children" by the mountain goats as a couple disgustingly in love but with a mutual sense of humor.

I feel that explains a lot of things.

maybe when the spanish subtitles for “dennis takes a mental health day” are released, his doctor will say at the end “eso es bueno sr. reynolds. todavía tienes hipertensión” instead of whatever bullshit the english dub tried to pull
