CONTENT NOTICE
This entry references themes of death, necromantic practice, biological distortion, and the manipulation of animal remains (insect specimens).
SUMMARY
Cadmus V. Creely is a contemporary digital figure whose Tumblr activity (first recorded by this archive in 2026 under the name UnfairlyFallen) documents a series of small-scale necromantic events centered on deceased insects.
Across multiple posts, Creely presents what appears to be the reanimation of insect bodies (most notably flies, beetles, and similar specimens) through sustained attention, verbal address, and repeated handling. These events are described plainly, often without embellishment, with a clear line established between the documented occurrences and Creely’s art (which includes fan art and cosplay, the cosplays being notably that of necromancer Emmerich Volkarin, from the Dragon Age franchise, as well as Elias Bouchard, from The Magnus Archives podcast). These posts are frequently accompanied by pictures taken of the insects and even video evidence.
What distinguishes these accounts is not merely the claim of reanimation…but the condition of the insects themselves.
Several documented specimens are described (and in some cases visually presented) as having been submerged for many hours, and one specimen presented was structurally intact but internally absent. When inspected closely via obvious a hole in the exoskeleton, they did not display recognizable internal anatomy. No organs. No fluid. No clear biological structure beyond a hollowed shell.
Despite this, movement is observed. Not consistently. Not dramatically…but enough.
Creely does not frame these occurrences as miracles. Nor as experiments. Only as something that is… happening.
VERIFIED FACTS
• A Tumblr account attributed to Cadmus V. Creely (UnfairlyFallen)
• Posts document repeated interaction with deceased insect specimens
• Language indicates intentional attempts to “bring them back” or “keep them”
• Multiple entries reference insects exhibiting movement after apparent death
• One specimen has been described as hollow or lacking identifiable internal structure
• Associated media (images/videos) suggest irregular movement inconsistent with normal post-mortem activity
• No formal biological explanation has been provided within the posts
OPERATIONAL CONTEXT
Creely’s activity may be understood at the intersection of:
• Folk Necromancy (Minor Forms): Focused on small, accessible remains rather than human subjects
• Sympathetic Attention Practices: Sustained focus believed to influence or preserve presence
• Digital Ritual Space: Tumblr functioning as both record and reinforcement mechanism
• Observation as Participation: Viewers become indirect witnesses to each event
In several folk traditions, insects (particularly flies) are associated with decay, transition, and the boundary between life and death.
Creely’s apparent focus on them is… not without precedent.
ANOMALOUS NOTES
The following details remain unexplained:
• Reports of insect movement despite being submerged for multiple hours in water
• Descriptions of bodies lacking internal components while retaining form
• Lack of decomposition progression in some documented specimens
• Repeated implication that the same specimen may persist across multiple posts
Particularly concerning is the absence of innards in one specimen.
Insects, while simple in structure, do possess identifiable internal anatomy. The lack of such features in one specimen despite movements suggests either:
- Operation of motor skills due to finely tuned nerves persisting in firing after death
- An internal parasite operating the insect
- Or that what is being observed is no longer functioning under typical biological constraints
It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the original insect’s life force… is no longer the source of movement.
HUMAN FACTOR
Cadmus V. Creely presents as:
• Observant and methodical in early documentation
• Increasingly focused on the state of the specimens rather than the act itself
• Concerned primarily with the welfare of the insect over the act of the resurrection itself
Notably, there is little indication of revulsion…only curiosity. And, at times… a quiet satisfaction.
CULTURAL / MATERIAL ARTIFACTS
Primary Materials (Observed):
• Tumblr Post Series (2026–Present)
• Image Artifacts – Close-focus captures of insect specimens
• Video Fragments – Instances of movement or repositioning
Recurring Elements:
• Small insect bodies placed in controlled environments
• Repeated references to “waiting,” “watching,” or “keeping them still”
• Notes on the states the insects were originally found in and how long the subjects had appeared to be deceased
THE FIGURE CLAIM
(Operational Claim Variant: Minor Necromancer / Biological Threshold Manipulator)
If treated as an active folkloric figure, Cadmus V. Creely may be understood as:
• A practitioner engaging in low-scale necromantic activity using insect remains
• An individual capable of inducing movement in biologically nonviable bodies
• A mediator interacting with the boundary between animation and absence
• A case study in how life-like behavior may persist without conventional structure
His anomalous quality lies in the discrepancy occasionally found in some of his subjects: There is motion…but nothing inside that should produce it or even aid in it.

ARCHIVAL INTERPRETATION
It is tempting to focus on the act of reanimation, to ask whether he is bringing something back. But the more unsettling question is this: What, precisely, is being returned?
Because if the bodies are hollow…truly hollow…then whatever animates them is not reclaiming a former structure. It is occupying it. Borrowing shape without substance. For what end…is presently unknown.
BIBLIOGRAPHY / SOURCE NOTES
Primary materials derived from observed Tumblr activity, interview with subject, and associated visual/video artifacts (2026–present).
Supplementary interpretation informed by comparative folklore on death symbolism, insect lore, and necromantic practice.
BREADCRUMBS
Further lines of inquiry are encouraged:
• What cultural or symbolic role do hollow bodies play in folklore?
• Can movement occur independently of biological structure—or is something external required?
• Are the same specimens recurring, or are they being replaced?
• What conditions precede successful “reanimation” events?
• What, if anything, is being invited into these forms?
