Hi, lovelies. I wanted to share my working Sebastian/Ciel playlist for all your hatefucking needs. Cover by the brilliant lexical-error, who I’m not sure is on tumblr anymore. Please feel free to make suggestions to add to this - this is my first ship playlist, so be gentle. <3
A small fan animation made in honor of Black butler’s 15th anniversary ✨!
Initially started as a simple walk cycle practice but I like how it turned out lol.
( I will post it on my main twitter acc later , you guys get to see it first heh )
Ciel going for a midnight snack
1. summon a demon
2. offer your hand in marriage
3. sign a marriage contract to seal the deal
4. live deliciously
In flowers of evil do the servants suspect even the slightest what goes on between the butler and young master?
oh NICE ask, nonny-non. Finny: not a clue, bless him. Bard: is suspicious of a head butler who never hits London on his days off. Who never has days off, period. Who drops everything to attend their spoilt young master in the middle of the night and seems way too bloody chirpy on Monday mornings. Yeah, he suspects.
Snake: keeps to himself. Doesn't bother with the weirdness of rich people. His snakes hear some interesting things at night, though.
Mey-rin: washes the earl's clothing and bedsheets so...
watch this!!! it's so helpful and funny!
How do you write good smut? :3
Read it.
Look at it.
Watch porn.
Know what feels good.
Then put it into words.
Often, people stumble over words. Keep a journal by your side and list the stuff you enjoy. Have pages dedicated to how writers refer to genitalia. Using ‘Cock’ all the time is boring and some words don’t fit well in certain time periods. For instance, I use the word ‘prick’ when writing in canon, but I wouldn’t use it in a modern setting.
Decide what the point of your smut is:
- To bring your characters closer?
- To break your characters?
Each of these goals (and there are a lot more) will require a different approach, but in my opinion, ‘good smut’ includes a glimpse into the mind and heart of your character. Consider answering the following :
* Are they regretting it?
* Are they happy about it?
* What is it that feels best?
* What hurts most?
* Could it be their last time? Their first?
* Are they thinking about someone else?
* Are they wishing the other person would do something different (ex: be more gentle, be rougher etc.)
Then include the senses (here you can be as simple as you want or go full purple prose!)
What’s it FEEL like: Get physical - wet, soft, hard... but also metaphysical: like bliss, like a torrent of heat, like punishment well-deserved
What’s it SMELL like: Sex has a distinctive smell. It’s heavy and oppressive and delightful. It can be sweet. It can take on the scent of cologne or perfume. One of the reasons I enjoy writing Omegaverse is because it relies heavily on scent. Make some up. What appeals to you? I like spicy and woodsy smells, so I often include those. Maybe some emotions are linked to certain scents. In Six Thirteen, when Ciel is aroused, he’s all pomegranate - sweet and tart and juicy. When he’s anxious, it becomes acrid. Unpalatable.
What’s it SOUND like: What’s making sound here? Creaking bedframe? Banging bed frame against the wall or neighbours banging their fists against the wall. Panting? Sobbing? Begging? Screaming? Is there a squelching sound? A slapping sound of skin on skin?
What’s it TASTE like: Are they salty with sweat? Do they taste like food? This is a great way to bring in hunger. Are they starving? Full? Link this to licking and mouthing and biting.
What’s it LOOK like: Add mirrors. Add a voyeur. Are muscles flexing? Is flesh turning a different colour? Is skin bleeding? Bruising? Jiggling? Swelling? Bulging?
Then go ham on mixing up the senses à-la-synesthesia: “He tasted like darkness.”
Then add your emotional components. Figure out what your POV character is FEELING. Sex is complex, it’s not only “happy”. You can add very basic emotional descriptors if you know what they’re feeling.
For instance:
Guilt: they might not look the person in the eye (or want to choose a position where they don’t have to look at them), their body language might be smaller, they might bite their lip the whole time to avoid screaming out the truth
Pity: they might not be into it as much, try to get it over with quickly, make impatient sounds (unpleasant sighs, tsk etc), fantasize about doing something else.
Fear: ashen face, clammy body, trembling, flinching
Anger: rough movements, quick, bearing one’s teeth
Also, Please add talking! Even if it’s only to tell someone to shut up.
In my opinion, Dirty Talk is really hot in smut, but it can make or break your scene. This is where knowing your audience can help.
I myself am not into “Daddy-kink”, so I don’t tend to read that kind of smut. I’m put off by the whole “Daddy” - “Baby” name calling. But a lot of people are, so you want to capitalize on that.
But dirty talk can take a lot of different forms.
- Endearing petnames (Precious, Love etc...)
- Degrading names (Whore, Slut, Mutt)
- Threatening taunts (I’ll split you open)
- Humiliation (You look pathetic drooling like that)
- Questions (mostly rhetorical- you like that, huh?)
- Consent (Do you want my cock inside of you?)
- Begging (Please fuck me! Let me cum!)
- Commands (Harder! Faster!)
- Sounds (Nnngh... Mmmn...)
You’ll also want to be as clear as possible when writing smut, spatially-speaking and with pronouns.
When you’re describing a position, it’s best to use the simplest language possible. This isn’t where you want to wax poetic. People need to be able to visualize what your characters are doing. I find Googling a list of sex positions really helps here- because on top of giving you a picture, they often describe it too. Use that vernacular!
One of the difficulties I find in writing m/m is using he/him a lot. Who are you talking about. And I know in the past, I’ve used descriptors like “the dark-haired man”, but in the last year I’ve distanced myself from doing that. I now find it quite distracting. I honestly think you’re better off just using names.
I really hope this helps.
I highly suggest hitting up @rabiid-bunny @peekaboo-desu @ladyvexll @griever-bit-my-finger @dragonsploosh @amanitus for more advice - (or to start by reading their works!)
I love your art and taste in music so much <3 so I would like to play a game with you. Which music (or song) do you associate with: Starry Night by Van Gogh, The Kiss by Klimt and The Persistence of Memory by Dali? Which art do the songs "Shadowman's Waltz" (Franz Gordon), "Healah Dancing" (Keaton Henson) and "Ballade" (Luke Faulkner) remind you of? <3 Kisses to you!
This one is so interesting! Let’s make it pretty and divide it into two parts!
1. Starry Night
Song>> Tajemství (Secret), it’s a song from the Czech musical Krysař (Ratcatcher) inspired by the book Krysař by Viktor Dyk. It’s one of my favourite musicals and books! Here is the English translation of the lyrics
2. The Kiss
Song>> The Magic Position by Patrick Wolf
It’s a happy romantic song that fits imo the painting perfectly, just look at the cheerful colours, it’s so playful, just like the song.
3. The Persistence of Memory
Song>> this one was so difficult because, unlike the previous two pieces, I’m not a fan of Dali's art (or most of his pieces). And my reason is very simple: it’s unsettling. BUT, I love unsettling music to some extent XD.
Lipstick to Void
I'm devouring this music like a feast! Thank you for being so thorough! I'm so grateful!
A very obligatory intro post.
Hi! I’m Vex–formerly vexing-young-master, currently ladyvexll, vextharu1er on twitter, and whore on ao3. I’m a writer and artist and full-time degenerate. I tend to write darker themes and stay within the dead dove zone (AKA noncon, underage, incest, abuse, etc), so if that’s not your cuppa, I’d recommend clicking off right about now.
I’m predominantly Kuroshitsuji, but lately I’ve been branching off into other fandoms! Here’s a little list that’ll be edited as my interests expand:
Kuroshitsuji (non-kuro content is tagged as nk alongside whatever tags are appropriate)
Yuri!!! On Ice (tagged as yoi)
Boku no Hero Academia (tagged as bnha)
Naruto (tagged as naruto)
Jujutsu Kaisen (tagged as jjk)
Kimetsu no Yaiba (tagged as kny)
Ryu ga Gotoku/Yakuza (tagged as rgg)
Important tags to note if you’re sensitive to certain content:
nc - noncon
dubc - dubcon
sharp and sharper - weaponry
modern romance - kinky/unorthodox/violent (sometimes) sexually charged stuff
Other tags:
vex is typing… - my writing
scribbles - my art
spoken thoughts - (you guessed it!) spoken thoughts
recs - recommendations for fic, art, or general content
…listen closely - music stuff
nk - not kuro
the devil himself - Ciel stuff
the beast - Sebastian stuff
the world’s worst love story - Sebaciel stuff
double trouble - Cielcest

i was trying to find a way to summarize sebastian in kuroshitsuji 2 and my hand slipped… lmao
gay_irl
Sebastian, is that you
There are two reasons why we don’t trust people. First - we don’t know them. Second - we know them.
Unknown (via thehopefulquotes)
Reminder to self:
Your writing seems boring and predictable because
You wrote it
You’ve read it like eight million times.
A person who has never read it before does not have this problem.
Sorry if this is a weird ask but your the best writer I know. I was wondering how you make your paragraphs so long? I can make mine about 4 lines before I switch topics or a character starts to speak... it makes the text look terrible! It’s just 4 line paragraph after 4 line paragraph. Do you have any tips you can share? If not that’s a-ok! 💖
Please, this ask isn’t weird at all. And thank you for the praise. Truly.
I have a few things to say about this- but I would love if other writers got on this so you could see more POVs.
First of all, don’t look at paragraph length. When it comes to writing, it’s always quality over quantity. This is especially true in editing. My paragraphs tend to be longer prior to editing and I either a. cut a lot of the content out or b. split paragraphs because they seem too long.
Secondly, in the last year or so, I’ve been trying to get away from writing long paragraphs, because I became a more avid reader of books. I found very long paragraphs daunting to read. My eyes (and brain) seem to appreciate shorter paragraphs - maybe because it seems to move the story along a bit faster?
So I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having short paragraphs, anon.
Maybe what you’re looking for is a bit of prose? A bit of description? This is something that came to me after years of practice. It’s a lot of reading and a lot of reflecting. That’s why it tends to take me a week or two to write a chapter.
Lemme pull up some random examples for you.
The first is from 613, chapter 1 (you’ll notice the paragraphs aren’t too long either)
Sartre was right, Ciel thought as his pencil scratched against the Scantron sheet, Hell was other people. He could feel those eyes on him, crawling along his exposed skin, mentally peeling off the layers of his flimsy uniform. He didn’t have to glance up to confirm his suspicion. The pervert would be looking down his white cotton tank top, gnawing his bottom lip with slightly elongated canines. He always stood too close. Sickeningly close.
--- If you really want to add ‘meat’ to your paragraphs you’re going to want to rely on 4 main things: The narrator’s thoughts, the narrator’s 5 senses, the actions being performed, plot revelations.
As you can see the first paragraph combines all three:
1. Thoughts: Hell was other people. Paranoia that Druitt is looking down his top while gnawing his bottom lip.
2. Senses: Feeling eyes on him, feeling objectified.
3. Actions: filling in a Scantron sheet.
4. Plot revelations: 0
Alpha teachers had no scruples. Come to think of it, neither did their student counterparts. And why should they? Omegas had only been allowed to attend school due to the One Hundred and Ninth Amendment to the Constitution in an attempt to equalize the caste system, but everything that came from it was a contradiction: they were allowed to attend school, but not do anything with their education, they had to wear provocative uniforms to entice the alphas to attend school, but were blamed when they were deemed too distracting.
Let’s look at this one:
1. Thoughts: comparing students to alphas
2. Senses: 0
3. Actions: 0
4. Plot revelations: Omegas had only been allowed at school recently, the contradictions that entails, wearing a uniform.
Ciel sighed, a sound of obvious exasperation when he felt the stubby, rough finger graze along his sun-kissed shoulder and drag the spaghetti strap off the gentle slope. The shirt fell lower, revealing a rosy nipple and he had to focus on controlling his scent rather than the physics problem before him about altitude and the weight of gold.
And this last one:
1. Thoughts: the question he’s trying to answer on his test.
2. Senses: the feeling of Druitt’s finger on his skin, a visual description of Ciel’s skin (sun-kissed)
3. Actions: sighing (and what it sounds like), the shirt falling, the scent he’s emitting.
4. Plot revelation: 0
I know it seems like a lot, but when I first started writing fanfic, I struggled with adding details too, and so I studied what kind of information my favourite novel authors were including and this was the system I developed.
So my tip is to write your paragraph. Then look at it and see if you can make it more immersive by either: getting in your character’s brain, using one of their senses to describe something, making them do something or revealing something about the plot that’s related to what you wrote.
Hope this helps!
Seriously though, don’t sweat length. People would rather read something interesting than something that’s simply long.
xo
Do you have any fluffy Sebaciel headcanons?
🤔😬 I'm not really great at fluff stuff. I know @lune-ire wrote some really great ones the other day...
Hmmm.
*I'm gonna say that I hc Ciel not liking music much- and for a few reasons:
- he's not a wonderful dancer and he's usually humiliated because of it
- music has too many ties to his past (pre-Earl), his parents probably had a lot of parties etc.
But Sebastian enjoys music. A lot. It's one of those things he appreciates about human ingenuity.
So the demon will pay close attention to the way his little master reacts to certain pieces: if his heartbeat begins to match a gentle waltz, if his foot taps along to it under the desk, if his fingers drum against the hardcover he's reading. If so, that piece of music might find it's way into Ciel's study or during a particularly sumptuous meal.
* Another would be the way Sebastian relays gossip to Ciel over dinner. He tells him what's being said in the kitchen, if Bard has said a good joke, what Snake heard in earldome while running errands... sometimes it's who is having an affair, who's child is illegitimate, who lost money gambling etc. I hc Sebastian be an absolute slut for gossip and Ciel enjoying it in return. (I bet Sebastian also is the cause of some of the gossip too just to keep it entertaining for Ciel)
Hope these are okay 💙
