Sebastian interview from the Official Character Guide
Best Character guide ever.
For my dear Romanian friend, reposted from the author's tumblr. krym-avch who is a wizardwith watercolour. I am consumed with jealousy.
AI creation sucks/has a lot of social and environmental issues is why
Well, it's not going away so... thought it might be nice to have something visual to go wth the stories but... guess if no one's interested...
Why isn't anybody making AI movies based on Black Butler fanfics like the ones the Harry Potter fandom enjoy?
With this juxtaposition, I kind of get the feeling Yana is trying to tell us something. Don't you too?
Sebastian's got himself a side gig as a samurai bartender.
This is Lycoris Radiata, the common name in English is red spider lily. It is related to the common pink flower we Americans call 'Naked Ladies' they both bloom in August, the time of year when the Japanese celebrate Bon and invite their dead family members to return home for a visit.
There was a translation error made back when the Black Butler musical entitled "Lycoris That Blazes the Earth" came out. You can see how the error was made, how much Lycoris looks like the word licorice. Lycoris acts very much like our native orange day lilies though they're not related. They grow wild, populating empty places like roadsides, neglected fields and, perhaps a little disturbingly, graveyards.
It is Lycoris' association with graveyards, blooming in August that makes the association in the mind of the Japanese, with the haunted and the dead. If any flower is the flower of the dead in their mind, it is this bright red beauty.
As you can see, Lycoris does indeed blaze the earth. There was never anything about licorice in the story of Kuroshitsuji.

This was not the first time this man sliced himself up was it. Look at those scars.
the real reason none of them have noticed that Sebastian is a demon/that there's something wrong with everyone else in this house <3
EXACTLY. As was commented, this is the reason nobody's ever noticed their butler leaves a trail of hellfire after him everywhere he goes. They are too busy worrying about themselves and how they look to others.
There's a couple really valuable thoughts you can glean from this very accurate observation.
one: if you're a very self-conscious person who worries a lot about how you appear to others, you can relax. EVERYBODY secretly believes they are the weird one and are far too busy worrying about how they appear to notice the things you imagine are wrong or wonky or strange about you. Unless you have a pineapple growing out the top of your head, or something equally arresting different about you, we are all too busy worrying about ourselves to worry about you.
And anyway the only thing off about you is likely how hard you are worrying about how odd you think you are. So for god's sake relax. You're fine. We're all fine.
Secondly, if you ever do have need of sneaking about, remember this fact. Most people are too busy obsessing about themselves to notice what you're getting up to. Being aware of this is the reason so few criminals get caught at whatever they're doing because the average human is far too self-obsessed to notice what others are doing. Real spies, thieves, and other ne'er-do-wells count on this fact to get done what they need to do right under your nose. Only those who have lived through the kinds of things that give you PTSD are really watching. And there aren't enough of them to make that much of a difference.
Are you someone who gets paralyzed in the face of things like public speaking? Taking these facts to heart might well cure your paralysis. THose of us who are terminally shy might be able to help themselves by meditating on this. Do you believe yourself clumsy? socially inept? Afraid of people? Taking this to heart might change your world.
If you do seem to have more accidents than the average person, it could be that you are filling your head with internal talk of how in inept you think you are, or how badly these things usually go for you that you have no mental room to pay proper attention to what is around you, where your hands and feet are and what they're doing. This will lead to exactly the kinds of accidents you expect to have. A self-fulfilling prophecy! Instead, try noticing what's going on around you, focus on other shy people, other folks who seem to expect to have 'bad luck' and see if you don't notice how they are almost making these things happen to them. Zero in on what people around you are doing and talking about. You'll be far less likely to get accused of being an airhead if you strive to do this.
Poor Finny, and to a lesser extent Mey-Rin as well, are patron saints of the distracted and the clumsy. They are so busy thinking their self-defeating thoughts they consistently fail to notice they are polishing the bannisters with the shoe polish again, failing to check if the weed sprayer is properly closed, or if what they read on the label of that laundry soap made sense. They cause so much of their own problems through distracting themselves with defeatist thinking. And so many of us do the same thing we immediately identify with their woes because we recognise ourselves in them! And the demon butler certainly doesn't help, with how he pressures them. We all know people like this who take secret delight in making things worse for nervous people. Of course we really shouldn't expect Sebastian to be interested in helping them to do better. He's a demon! And the more inept they are, the brighter his talents shine. I have no idea what excuse the humans who act this way might have.
But there you are. The next time you catch yourself filling your own head with predictions of how badly this is going to turn out, why not stop yourself and instead try paying more attention to what's going on around you and see if things don't turn out a bit better.
Yana making Sebastian shorter than most of the butlers he interacts with was a goated decision I must say
LMAOOO related to this, I have this headcanon that Sebastian plays a secret game with himself where, whenever he runs into someone who's taller than him, he makes his own human form every-so-slightly taller each day and waits until Ciel notices. Ofc it's all part of an elaborate scheme to poke fun of his master's height yet again 🤫
I thought this too but for an entirely different reason: testosterone-driven competition. He'd grow a fraction of an inch each day until he could be the taller one and be BUTLER SUPREME again and look down on the other guy's bald spot.
Who is the mystery behind Aroturier 👁️
The anonymous commentor is the mystery.
Yana needs to see this fellow's presentation before the butler and earl decide to host another dinner at the Phantomhive mansion.
