About

This blog is intended to be a safe space for people of all sexual orientations, genders, religions, ethnicities, etc. Yes, that includes the trans and asexual/aromantic communities. Neither transphobia nor aphobia will be tolerated here.

Sebac*el shippers, mangrellers (people who use he/him pronouns for Grelle Sutcliff) and their affiliates are not welcome.

Although I'm fine with limited interactions with minors, please keep in mind that I am an adult (late twenties) and as such want to maintain appropriate boundaries. If you're under 18, please do not attempt to discuss NotSFW topics with me or interact with my content that includes such topics. Wait until you're of age, and stay safe!

On that note, please be advised that much of my original writing and reblogs may contain NotSFW themes (i.e. sexual content); if this makes you uncomfortable, my blog may not be for you. I do my best to tag those works as #notsfw or #suggestive, but I wasn't as consistent as I could have been with tagging in the past, which is something to keep in mind if you're scrolling through my old posts. I also include trigger warnings as needed. I want to do my part to ensure that my writing doesn't hurt anyone, but it is ultimately the reader's responsibility to take heed of those warnings and decide whether they can safely consume my work.

I accept anon asks and submissions, but please don't abuse ye olde inboxe! If you're feeling shy but would still like to discuss fandom things with me, or you'd like to share a cool screencap you found, that's perfectly fine! However, spewing hate and negativity, screeching proship nonsense, or attempting to engage me in drama with other bloggers is not. Remember that, if you sling insults at me while cowering behind a mask, I have full rights to roast the heck out of you.

That being said, if you have legitimate concerns about something I posted (i.e. there were flaws in my representation of an LGBTQ character, you're pretty sure the op of a post I just reblogged is a fujoshi), please let me know! I can't correct a blunder if I'm not aware of it, so feedback is crucial.

Although I accept writing requests as well as regular asks, I often take forever to finish them. In addition to struggling with procrastination, sometimes I'm low on energy or just need to be in the right, "inspired" mood to write. I promise it's nothing personal! Also, if you're concerned that I didn't get a request, feel free to hit me up! It could be that Tumblr ate it, or I just forgot (I have the soul of an absentminded professor in a young millenial's body), so reminders are appreciated.

I complete requests at my own discretion and refuse point-blank to write incest, adult/minor pairings, or romanticized depictions of rape/noncon. I sometimes role play, but only with mutuals I trust implicitly.

Please note that this blog is not spoiler-free!However, monthly manga updates for Kuroshitsuji and Vanitas no Carte will be tagged as #kuro spoilers, #kuroshitsuji spoilers, or #vnc spoilers for the first few days after release.

And I think that about covers it! Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy your stay on my chaotic little blog! >w<

In the Long King's era, it was customary to take trophies from fallen rivals. Centuries on, he bears the spines and skulls of his defeated contemporaries upon his own back — to honour them in perpetuity and to remind the world that he is more than a man.

Black Butler Manga Observation Notes (Volumes 1-5)

*Spoilers for Vol 13

For the first portion of my analysis I am observing shifts in Yana's early drawing style to find the aspects of her improvement that lead to her current style. Understanding this would make it easier to pinpoint the details that would need to be conveyed in order to replicate her style more accurately.

Some of the info kind of spans across multiple volumes to a point so I'll try not to repeat too much reoccurring information

Volume 1: In the first volume a lot of the proportions are a lot more stylized. A product of the time and Yana probably not being as well studied in anatomy as she is now.

Ciel's face is significantly more tapered while his limbs and torso are longer in this volume and much of early Black Butler so he ends up looking more like average 15-16 year old. In Yana's earlier style, the hair is grouped largely with a lack of variation to break up the hair strands, causing most of the hair flow to feel much more static compared to her current style. Her eyes and pupils are larger and take up more space compared to later volumes. The ears are also a lot smaller in her early volumes and characters have lower jawlines and bigger mouths than they do in her current style.

Sebastian in Volume 1 vs Volume 13

Volume 2 There aren't many changes between volume 1 and 2 so I made some observations based on how the characters look compared to her current style. A lot of the characters and details in the earlier volumes are much more angular than they appear in the current style. For most of the use of black in the early manga, a lot of the highlights are pure white instead of a lighter grey tone, so much of the clothing detail for characters who primarily wear solid black clothing (Sebastian, Undertaker) are implied by the highlight placement. In the later style (~Vol. 13) Yana shifts to lighter grey tones for darker/black clothing and using solid black for shadow, which gave her more leeway to showcase outfit details and to add textures with screentones. In early Black Butler, many characters have similar eye shapes with certain variation in their eyelash types and size. In her later style progression, Yana became more intentional about what eye shapes implied about character personalities.

Sebastian's Suit in Volume 2 vs Volume 13

Volume 3

In volume 3, Yana's faces start to shift in terms of shape and proportion. The eyes have become smaller while her faces are rounder with more curve in her jawline. The shift in proportion is most noticeable with Sebastian and William. As her style developed, Yana not only adjusted the facial proportions, but her proportions in body and mass in order to reflect character age better in multiple characters, most notably Ciel.

Volume 4

In volume 4, the faces have gotten longer and Yana is playing around with line thickness and shading placement order to make characters stand out more. Her line art varied a lot during her style but the shading helped to bring more out attention to the details of notable characters such as Soma and Agni who were introduced in this volume. Soma also introduces some variation as his hairstyle is wavier and more voluminous compared to most characters introduced so far in the series up until that point. His hair flow feels more natural compared to the characters that have been seen so far. In later volumes, Yana incorporates this flow to give more characters dynamic hairstyles.

Volume 5

In volume 5, there's more consistency with Sebastian's hairstyle improved flow with panel organization. (Short section as of the some major shifts in her early style happen in Volume 6)
