Invasion der Glückskäfer
Im Spätherbst sorgen Marienkäfer immer wieder für staunende Menschen.
Auf der Suche nach geeigneten Winterquartieren fliegen manchmal Tausende durch die Luft und lassen sich auf allem nieder, was sich anbietet: Balkongeländer, Hauswände, Pflanzen, Menschen, Rucksack oder Brotdose.
In die Wohnung geraten sie zufällig. Denn Häuser sind Felsblöcke, zumindest aus Sicht der Insekten. Diese…

Harlekin
Harlekin · Commedia dell' arte · Venedig & Casanova
Der französische Priester Gauchelin beschrieb im 11. Jahrhundert »Harlequins wilde Jagd«, und er stützte sich dabei auf weitaus ältere Bräuche.
Harlekin war anfangs nicht die in Seide gehüllte Clownsfigur, sondern Dämon und Höllenfürst. Im Gegensatz zum gepflegten Minnegesang ging es hier oft sehr derb zur Sache:
Seh ich die Schmarotzer an,
kocht es mir im Blute,
lauter ausgemachte Narrn,
lauter Tunichtsgute,
kaum soviel Verstand im Hirn,
wie die dümmste Pute,
aber stolz im seidnen Wams
und in buntem Tuche.
(Archipoeta - um 1160)
Die eigentliche Metamorphose des teuflischen Harlekins zu dem uns bekannten gutmütigen Possenreißer begann im 13. Jahrhundert. Die verfeinerten Sitten der Bürger in Florenz und Venedig, in Parin, Köln oder Augsburg boten dazu den geeigneten Nährboden. Die wilde Jagd erhielt im »Charivari« ihre gezähmte Variante, und der Dämon Harlekin wurde schrittweise ein närrischer Fürst.
Erst Ende des 14. Jahrhundert wurde die schillernde Gestalt zum Hauptdarsteller einer fahrenden Komödiantengruppe. Dass ein Harlekin in dieser Rolle neben seiner Maske auch gewisse darstellerische Voraussetzungen mitbringen musste, war selbstverständlich. Ähnlich wie die Büttenredner - jedoch ohne vorbereitete Texte - foppte er Rittertum, Klerus und weltliche Würdenträger.
Den Typ des uns heute besonders bekannten Harlekins erfanden die Komödianten Oberitaliens in ihrer aus dem Stegreif gesprochenen »Commedia dell' arte«. Es war eine Art Fastnachtsspiel, bei dem Berufsschauspieler mitwirkten.
Arlecchino und Columbina, in Italien ein Pärchen, bewegten sich auf der Bühne lebhaft und wendig, verrenkten Arme und Beine ungewohnt, witzelten und sprachen gekünstelt, hüpften komisch herum und schlugen Purzelbäume.
In Venedig stand der Karneval im Zeichen Neptuns. Unter der Maske Harlekins soll auch der junge Casanova seiner Columbina während der Umarmung zugeflüstert haben: »Die Welt besteht aus zwei Halbkugeln. Ich halte beide in meinen Händen.«
Der Doge war immer mit dabei, wenn die Schiffe und Gondeln aus den Kanälen von Venedig aufs freie Meer hinaus steuerten und Columbina einen goldenen Ring ins Wasser warf. Diese symbolische Geste vermählte gleichsam Venedig mit dem Meer.

His shift of curse hunting done and only 5 min overtime, he was immidietly on his way to you. His mission report quick but efficent as possible. Politely he said his greetings, walking over to the train station, declining Ichijis request of driving him. He had some things to get before meeting with you.
Feeling you had a hard day, your message short, the light in your eyes smaller at the morning. It broke his heart. He couldn't tolerate. He had to do all in his might to make you happy. Yes, he was a grumpy person, but not you. The door to the convinient store beeping, welcoming him in. Gathering all the sweet and salty snacks, he knew you liked, hoping they will bring back the smile he loves so much, back on your lips. Without noticing his lips curl in a small smile himself. Secretly he enjoyed it. Finally taking care of someone else, rather than himself.
This is written so nicely ❤️ thank you for this Harlekin, you're so shy to write normally, it makes me happy to see this.
Nanami will arrive soon with snacks. Come let's sit and wait for him.

twas a '98 polo green de ville. its so pretty bro
See? Shows what I know!
I went and checked, by the way, because that seemed exactly like the right car in the right period of time, and indeed, all De Villes made from 1996 were equipped with the Northstar V8.
I made roughly this face.
To make a long story short, someone at Cadillac saw the legendarily good LS V8 they freely had available as part of General Motors and thought "You know what we should do? Spend an absolute fortune to develop a V8 of our own that fulfills exactly the same purpose". And apparently the people sensible enough to run the place were all on vacation, because lo and behold, we got the Northstar V8, a Cadillac-only V8 that was supposed to tell the world that Cadillac is still bangin', babey! We're not just throwing GM parts together here, we're putting in effort and making something serious, something unique, something Cadillac! Something whose together-keeping threads just shear off after a while. Woo, Cadillac. You were so brave for this one.
But since I don't wanna be all negative, let me tell you about what "98 polo green" made me think about!
In 1996, the Volkswagen Polo was coming out with new colors! And they were like "Let's show the motor show audiences our new colors in a fun, captivating way!" and so they made a Polo out of pieces of all the new colors!
And then they got a FLOOD of dealers shouting WE WANT THIS NOW and they were like "Oh all these new colors are coming in-" and they were like NO we want THIS and they were like "Ah Sheiße" (fuck) and so they begrudgingly took a set of four cars of four different colors off the production line, swapped their body panels around to create the color combinations you see below, and kept repeating the process until they got one entire thousand of Polo "Harlekin"s.
Which vaporized off the lot before they could say "That ought to be enough" in German (and in German it's just 5 syllables so that's saying something), so they upped the production to around 3800 total, which were sold over two years without letting the customers pick the color combination they got.
They also did this to the Golf for the US market (now spelling it 'Harlequin'), but they only made 264 and some of them had to be un-harlequin'd by reshuffling the different colored parts back into four uniformly colored cars (and sometimes just straight up repainted) to be moved off the lot. And they say it's Germans who lack sense of humor.
But I know what you are wondering - or at least, what you will react to with "fuck that's actually a very good question" upon reading: what the fuck do these cars' documents say under "color"?
The answer is actually pretty logical (these are German cars after all): the car was one single color when it rolled off the production line, and while they bolted parts of different colors onto it, that color remains in the non-replaceable elements like roof, sills, rear pillar, and all the inside parts like door seams, engine bay, underside and what have you - so that is the color the car legally is.
So yeah man there's your fun facts about the Cadillac De Ville.
Links in blue are posts of mine explaining the words in question - if you liked this post, you might like those!

Shawl "Harlekin" (by eliZZZa Wetsch) is growing, slowly but slowly:
Yarn is Nordlys (935) by Viking of Norway, which is an unplied, single sock yarn with wool and nylon that does not take kindly to frogging, but i've internalised the pattern now so that's seldom an issue anymore xD
