Shadowcat's Den

Hello and hi! This is a blog that I use for posting art/fanfics of my Black Butler Oc’s and just black Butler stuff in general. I also will sometimes share art or fanfics that I made from other fandom’s that I like as well vuv.

Okay, so, I've seen one sided Dadbastian, but imagine this: it's one sided on both sides

Bear with me

Ciel is slowly growing to view Sebastian as a father figure, but tries not to show it because he thinks/knows Sebastian only wants his soul.

Sebastian is slowly growing to view Ciel as a son, but doesn't show it because he assumes Ciel is too independant/revenge focused for that.

Neither of them realise the father/son dynamic that is mutually forming.

Jax is a terrible transfem representation. There, I said it. Just to be clear, if you relate to Jax and find joy or comfort in her story, more power to you 👍 I don't want to take that feeling away from you. Now...

Let's address the elephant in the room first. Femininity doesn't equal womanhood. A bow, a cute "girly" room, a "feminine" color scheme (purple and pinkish-red), liking dresses and wearing an eyeliner (god I hate the maid dress sm but I'll talk abt that later, but I've just noticed how it has a heart-shaped pattern on the chest area so... heart = girl?) and the final scene between Jax and Pomni having a pink hue to it are just not it, Goose.

Being a woman has to do with how you feel on the inside, not how feminine you are. I hate that Jax is flattened into either this "girly cutie pie" or a hottie by the fanbase now that we know she's trans, when she's a frickin mess of a character, full of self-blame and self-hatred that doesn't only have to do with her gender identity

I don't think it's illogical to say Jax had mommy and daddy issues even before she discovered her gender identity. When it comes to how Jax feels about Kaufmo and Ribbit's abstraction... well, I'd rather have her feel immense guilt because she genuinely cared for them both despite everything (I want Jax to be more than her transness and selfishness!), than for THIS to be her train of thought: "My friends are dead because I'm a girl! I couldn't accept it then, and I can't accept it now! It was all my fault because I'M A GIRL! Me being a girl is not only the main thing "wrong" with me, but also the root cause of all my problems!"

Transition wouldn't have fixed Jax because what she really needed to get better were self-acceptance, self-forgiveness and self-love. That's why I want to put the whole cast in Jax's mind in my rewrite. She needed them all to become whole, even briefly, before death

I want Jax to be a complex, fucked up woman with real depth and a capacity for change that she never took, not a hypersexualized, hyperfeminine trans girl. A woman is a woman regardless of her appearance, voice or interests because she knows deep down she is one! Jax's problems were deep and internal, yeah, but imo, her main issue was her belief that every part of her (including her mistakes) was wrong and unloveable. Jax spent the entire show fragmented instead of whole, meanwhile the others managed to overcome their issues. That's why I think it would be a good idea to have Pomni, Ragatha, Gangle, Zooble and Kinger all try to help Jax one last time so she can finally accept and forgive herself

And as we can see from Goose's confirmation post, Jax would have still kept thinking inappropriate things had she transitioned i dont think it's even possible to have your avatar permanently altered and your voice changed in the circus but ok ("I think my 2 friends who I've mistreated in canon are destined to fuck each others' brains out"). Not to mention her design is hyperfeminine and doesn't fit TADC's vibe. That's not Jax. She looks like Octavia from Helluva Boss

The fact that Glitch is profiting off of a trans character being deeply uncomfortable with wearing a sexualized, hyper-feminine maid dress out in public (that was only meant to humiliate them and be the creator's kink) to the point they seemed like they were close to abstracting is uh... certainly a choice. And not a good one. If Jax was just an average Joe with toxic masculinity, I still wouldn't like it, but Jax being a trans woman makes this whole thing even worse

Why do these two scenes have to parallel???

When I first watched Episode 7, I didn't even notice the trans flag colors in Jax's eyes, and when I eventually did, I just assumed it was an Easter Egg that Gooseworx put in there because she's trans

The same goes for the "chicken fetus in an egg" line. I genuinely thought Goose used that specific wording not because Jax himself was trans but because Goose thought to herself: "Yeah, I wanna showcase that Jax is more than a jerk and the funny guy, but I'll use this trans term because I'm trans myself and this is gonna be a fun Easter Egg haha"

I mean, if feeling like a girl was apparently always the biggest aspect of Jax's character, why be so vague about it? Most people aren't familiar with "the egg" referring to closeted trans people or trans people in denial! It feels like Goose just wrote this show for herself and didn't stop to think that hey, maybe my audience won't pick up on this stuff unless I'm more explicit about it, especially since there are a lot of kids in the TADC fandom

And of course, there's Jax's head being shaped like an egg and us only seeing the "yolk" underneath in ep 8

Goose, you've gotta get it into your head that many people are unfamiliar with what any of this stuff even means. That includes boymoding

No, Jax isn't fucking lovely, she's a terrible, selfish and cowardly person, and the audience shouldn't be gaslit that she was ever lovely despite her trauma. Not to mention Jax literally called herself a terrible person like a few lines before that. And if the montage was meant to say "Jax could have been lovely if only she had gotten to live openly as a woman," uh... nope. Jax needed to sort so many internal things out first. Transition doesn't magically fix things

"Isn't She Lovely?" is a song that a Black man sang to his Black daughter when she was born. Using the cover of a non-black man and putting it in the context of a "rebirth as a woman" (which in canon changes nothing abt Jax or Leeroy, neither are explicitly revealed to be trans after it) scene doesn't sit right with me, especially since the finale aired on Juneteenth and Gooseworx is racist, just like some of the VA's. I will never forget the "NEGA" situation where Michael and Ashley laughed for a long ass time because someone posted a pic of a black shirt during a livestream with the word "NEGA" written on it in white letters

I hate that we never get to hear Jax talk about what she actually likes and dislikes. Does she genuinely love guns (according to ep 6) and safaris (according to ep 5)? If fans REALLY wanna remember Jax fondly, why does it have to be JUST as "the trans girl"? Why don't we learn a single thing about Jax aside from her being trans, which was confirmed on Bluesky??? This girl never tells us anything about her interests or... anything, really. We just get a tone-deaf TikTok montage and KABOOM! she's gone. Reduced to atoms. Okay, Goose. Go off.

”Lizzie doesn’t love o!ciel she only loves r!ciel!” “Lizzie fell in love with o!ciel just look!” Is it a hot take to say that she loves neither Ciel actually. She was conditioned into loving idea of being a cute gentle wife for the queens guard dog because that’s what society wanted from women. She definitely CARES about Ciel, both of them(one more than the other), but she doesn’t love either. In this essay I will

[devilofamoe]

Yall don't get Yuya Matsushita(Sebastian) and Yuta Furukawa(Sebastian) mixed up. Yuya Matsushita is the original Sebastian for the Kuromyu nightmare cast. (In my opinion because he leaned heavily into the Sebciel ship. Fuckin gross.)

Yuta Furukawa Sebastian replaced him as TOHO Theater House's Sebastian and had a lot of those sebciel themes removed to protect his younger costars. He leaned into the Big Brother/Dadbastain dynamics. (He's also Yana Toboso's favorite and is the reason she's changed the dynamics and story between Sebastian and ociel for the better. Big crown for a Big King.👑 )

So please, don't confuse these two Actors. They portray the same character differently, Very differently.

Please do your research before associating a Real Life Actor with pedo content.

Thanks.

Moe.

I thought that this would be fun as Luna has some key items that make her, her! Now she is a hoarder so most will be photo collage or my own art depending on the item :3

Items that are a wip in terms of art is some books mostly Alice in wonderland and some others written by Rachel under her pen name, bitter rabbit and a cat plush based on the funtom sweets mascot, herb book and bottles of herbs, her Mandolin, and her rose hair clips :3

I just wanna know HOW a reaper could reproduce? They are dead, essentially walking suicides, right? To me Undertaker and Claudia were married in life and when she died he couldn’t take it and took his own life, thus becoming a reaper. So still the same hc just……different? I guess? No hate to you or your blog (I actually really love this blog) and I really hope this doesn’t come off as rude but I was just wondering if you had any hcs as to how the fuck the DEAD could have a baby??

Hiya anon! Not rude at all 💙 I appreciate the love and that we have different hc/theories/takes!

All that being said...

[shadow-cat-with-red-roses]

I was scrolling through TikTok after I made a video about my latest tumblr post and I came across a video criticizing people who sexualize oCiel. Saying how anyone who dose so is no better then the canon characters who have assaulted and sexualized oCiel.

Now looking at the comments I see a lot of people saying stuff like this.

And to me just Yana Toboso being a creep doesn’t take away the point that the TikTok is trying to make.

Because guess what Yana also has a fucking track record of sexualizing oCiel in supplemental art and has made art to pander to Sebaciel shippers same thing when it comes to the weird ass fan service like we so many examples here of screenshots that I took.

Also everyone forgets that the pedo characters that in the story Yana frames as being rightfully bad and disgusting are characters she draws as ugly.

And we can see this based on how viscount Druid gets treated as the story goes on. Him being a gross pedo character at the start before turning into a comedy relief character his gross actions on oCiel, and other minor characters being played off as a joke because he’s depicted as “pretty”

To me Yana being a creep doesn’t take that away from what the TikTok is trying to say.

And one comment saying these things seem to be mad because it’s comparing people who ship Sebaciel to predators and saying that the original person who made the TikTok is being a poser. (I checked there account and they do ship Sebaciel)

Like this person is not defending Yana.

There is nothing in there post that implies that they are defending Yana or her actions.

And for most newer fans or the fans that don’t ship Sebaciel they don’t know about Yana making glamorous lip and only those people who already ship adult x minor ships looking for more of the gross content that Yana made.

I didn’t know about the other gross shit that she made and drew not including black butler until being an adult and doing my own research.

Just because people like me like Black Butler doesn’t mean we don’t call out people and the author for sexualizing minor characters.

To the people trying to discredit what there trying to say please just do better next time and take in what this person is trying to say instead of just discrediting there point.

[shadow-cat-with-red-roses]

I want to thank you for that post calling out the Sebaciel group. I was trying to find a way to call those shippers out without outing myself/my personal issues to the fandom as a whole all day. Thank you!!!!!!! ❤️

Ofc! Im so happy that I was able to help to you stay safe and not out yourself 💛

I found out about the community by another so I want to thank them for bringing this to my attention to

I don’t know if they want me to say there name here cause I know that in the past a ton of sebaciel proshiper’s have harassed not only me but others to so anything that I can do to keep others safe is always my top priority 💛

[shadow-cat-with-red-roses]

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

Phantomhive lineage; manga vs anime

The animators changed a lot on the Phantomhive family tree (the direct lineage of the twins).

Manga:

Claudia/Cloudia's father should be on the left, as that's typical for family trees, plus that one seems to be a Phantomhive, and the first name seems to start with M. Then her mother is shown with a first and middle name before the last name, which looks a bit like "Malone"... which is from Irish roots and connects them to a follower of St. John.

Cedric's death date is January 28th of an undisclosed year.

But in the anime:

It looks like the animators list Claudia/Cloudia's mother first, perhaps with the name Melissa, and her father -- possibly Joseph -- second. This is a huge departure from the manga, particularly since both are listed as Phantomhives as if they're either related... or the anime staff didn't think to show the mother's maiden name here.

And they changed Cedric's death date to the 13th of an unknown month and year. Did they decide there weren't enough 13's in the family tree?

They also doubled down on Cloudia instead of Claudia, even though I thought Yana-san's later illustrations clarified it as Claudia.

I don't mind Cloudia, in fact I prefer it. However, the rest of what the anime changed throws a wrench into the works.

I'll stick with the manga's info (or lack thereof) until all is revealed later.
