All the Phantomhive servants know Sebastian isn't human, they just can't agree what he is.

#black butler #sebastian michaelis #phantomhive servants #Mey-Rin us using her new found literacy to write self-insert x vampire!Sebastian smut #i feel like snake might think he was some sort of animal hybrid like him? bird or cat idk #finny thinks he is a witch whose familiar is every cat in the propery surrounding the estate #baldroy might think he was an angel or ghost because of his habit of just appearing and avoiding major injury #tanaka 100% knows this dude is a demon and doesn't care #watching the other servants debate this while sipping his tea is his evening entertainment

Do you believe the theory that Undertaker is Ciel's grandfather?

Yes

No, but I think he is stoll related to the family in some way

No

Maybe

I have not heard of this theory

#black butler #undertaker #dont mind me I like collecting data on the popularity of theories and the motives different people have for liking certain pieces of media

It just hit me that I have been staring at additional evidence for the parallel theory without even realizing it.

I straight up FORGOT about Undertaker's magical bookmark from season 1.

#black butler #hinting at undertakers screwery with records to create the dolls maybe #since their entire thing at the start was being corpses with altered records #which means I've finally fully tied Atlantic into this beyond idk boat???

Why do I keep coming back to Black Butler?

It's not because it's perfect.

It's because this story is one of the very few that makes me think about masks, identity, power, grief, and the roles people choose to survive.

Almost every character is playing a version of themselves: Sebastian, who plays “the perfect butler” to hide his monstrosity, Ciel, the child who claims he's “an adult”, Undertaker, a grim reaper who chose to hide behind the identity of a “A cheerful undertaker” to escape his grief; Elizabeth, who decides to take the role of a "perfect wife" to adhere to her society's expectations, Agni, who in order to atone for the sins he committed, took the role of a “devoted worshiper”. Lau, who literally takes the role of the “fool” to diffuse attention away from himself.

Some characters wear these masks to fool others. Others wear them because they have forgotten who they are without them. For some, the mask is not just a disguise, but a survival mechanism.

Perhaps this is why this story sticks with me.

Beneath the demons and murder mysteries and Victorian aesthetics, Black Butler is a story about identity made through trauma, about what grief can turn people into, and if the mask you wear to survive becomes your real face over time.

#same reason I keep coming back

I had the opportunity to purchase asthma cigarette packaging dead stock the other day and passed it up because it wasn't Victorian or Edwardian and now my brain can't stop thinking about it.

I should have bought it. It could have been friends with the Opium script and croup med advert card from 1889. :(

#essi rambles #historical medicine #historical medicine collector #im so mad at myself because historical treatments for asthma specifically happen to be one of my top interests in the area #but like the 1930s is not an era I feel a draw to?#the specific range of years I am drawn to are 1888-1912 but I expand to 1850s-1920 to make things easier for myself #i can also confirm that some historical asthma treatments work #specifically those involving coffee or tea because I'm not going to test poisons on myself out of curiosity #but there was a time when I was broke where I experimented with the safer methods so that I could hang out at cat rescues

Concept:

Doing a tea drink along while reading or watching Black Butler.

#black butler #match your tea to what is being served in various scenes as a bonus #ngl I thought about doing this until I realized just how many tea scenes there are #and realized I would die of caffeine fairly quickly #which is saying something because i go through a lot of tea

Personally, I like to headcannon that, rather than being a historical inaccuracy, Sebastian put a corset on Ciel wrong because neither of them know how they're actually meant to be worn and there was no woman in the room to help them

#that or sebastian is an asshole #but yeah a gap of 1-2 inches is pretty normal? and then there are things under and over a corset #could be the whole issue where media makes assumptions tho #because I do historical dress (mostly edwardian and some victorian) and constantly have to explain corset misconceptions #no I am actually extremely comfortable! hollywood just wants you to think corsets are women torture devices!#s-bends are slightly less comfortable if you are new but that is because those ones have a weird shape

Please be respectful of other's opinions and answers!

And yap to your heart's content!!!

#I had a teacher who was obsessed wirh bb when I was a kid #she decided that our class was going to watch season 2 in class instead of learning for an entire 2 weeks #I thought she was super cool at the time but nowadays I question why season 2 specifically #to be fair it did help me get rid of my own cult revenge plans so a win is a win

Sebastian should get to pretend to get drunk with the other servants, let a few demonic features slip, and then gaslight the servants about said features as a treat.

#black butler #sebastian michaelis #idk this feels like an activity a demon stuck playing human might enjoy #fangs? preposterous! you have all indulged too much #i do not know what you are talking about. my eyes do not glow #sebastian and the young master have a bet going to see who will call bs and figure out his true nature first

I’m sharing this on my main blog because I genuinely believe that this community could be harmful and be a breading ground for unsafe adults to take advantage of children.

My groomer used ships like Sebaciel and other media like nekopara to normalize there actions against me and found me in a space like this community and found other victims as well.

This is more then hating a ship this is about protecting minors from being harmed by unsafe adults

Don’t go harassing anyone in this community. I have censored the username’s of the blogs to prevent harassment. Just report this community and warn others about its existence

#can we please just enjoy the revenge fantasy in peace #instead of having to deal with masty ships existing?#if you ship this ship please block me #thx

AU where Akechi survives, but ends up with a spinal injury/in a wheelchair due to the events in the engine room.

He is still learning to adjust and come to terms with it at the time of the story's end.

#persona 5 #au #spoilers #akechi goro #another idea inspired by a case im working on #yoy dont appreciate what you have until listening to someone describe wjat it is like to go through this #and I also feel like physically maiming this man instead of outting him in limbo may be an interesting story beat

I fear my boss is taking the corporate slavery joke too far. Dude just got a location with a weird dog kennel addition and spent today talking about plans to use said kennels as cubicles.

#this is the same guy who refers to me as girl and slapped me for trying to clean my glasses #and the odd errands #bloody hate the whole drive 1.5 hours with no notice thing #apparently the kennels will make great prebuilt cubicles #when I said corporate life was modern indentured servitude I didn't mean yall could put me in a cage #im hoping the place that said they planned to schedule a skills test with me gets back to me soon #because holy shit exec/personal assist for crazy men with businesses in 4 countries is not worth it #the property/business manager who acts as his representitve when he is not around is cool as hell tho

What they don't tell you about writing is that as you write, you discover scenes and entire plots that you hadn't accounted for that need to be written. So you can spend two hours writing and editing only to realise you're further away from the finish line than you thought you were when you started

#when the werewolf bloody drops the whole vegetarian thing on you mid story and you now have to alter plans

AU where durge and Gortash have a kid together so Gortash gets stuck with a feral little bhaalspawn at his own coronation.

#baldurs gate 3 #spoilers #bhaalspawn #dark urge #enver gortash #it is what he deserves #a child with the particular skills of Gortash and Durge would be utterly terrifying #and would probably makes traps to brutally kill nannies by the age of 3 #yall think this kid would be able to pull off acting civilized for even 2 seconds?#nah #this is the child of TWO chosens #one of which is a pure bhaalspawn and the other is am artificer turned politician #there is no way in hell this kid wouldn't terroize the shit out of everyone

Wanting to cosplay Isobel Thorm is suffering.

I have been working on drafting the sewing pattern for 3 weeks now and I'm still absolutely hating how it looks.

I just want a pretty coat :(

That I may or may not wear at random because it is so pretty and I'm making part of it detachable for the sole purpose of passing it off as a normal coat.

#isobel thorm #cosplay #pattern making #i promise I don't suck at this #i am just incredibly picky and have awkward measurements
