(Regarding this section, most relevant information can be found on our about page. For the sake of brevity and avoiding redundancy, we’ll only be including information that isn’t already provided there.)
We’re the coiners of the term Parethnic. Please note that, while we as the coiners are white-bodied, there are several BIPOC systems who use the term as well. Parethnic is not a “whites-only” term and was intentionally written not to be.
We have (self-diagnosed) DID (that we’re in the process of getting a professional diagnosis for). We’re not (mostly or primarily) traumagenic, nor did our tribe start out as such. Yes, really. Yes, these two facts can and do co-exist.
As a tribe, we’re generally pretty protective in regards to littles, even those that aren’t ours. It upsets us to hear when they are being hurt or generally not treated well. For those with littles who’d like to make friends, our littles are always up for making new friends.
We don’t like discourse. We don’t like politics. We may reblog these things on occasion, but we’re not personally in the habit of spending our time arguing with strangers on the internet.
Having said that, we do like fandom, and we like to participate in fandom. For those who must know, these are our views (speaking from a strictly moral viewpoint): We support people’s right to write about abuse, incest, and pedophilia. We do not, however, support people writing about these topics in a positive or idealizing way.
We have a “no bs” policy. If you approach us in a hateful or disrespectful way, we’ll ignore you and block you. We’re not opposed to having an actual conversation if we actually do something wrong, because we know we’re not perfect. But if you want us to change, you need to actually talk to us instead of insulting us.

Yo fellow self shipping degenerates! I'm Lucian (they/them, 25+) and I'll be your host to a whole new world of debauchery and delicious after dark fun in our little community!
This blog's sole purpose is to cater a bit to the selfshippers (like me) who enjoy darker, more taboo content and imagines for their f/o's - that means there will be a lot of potentially triggering and squick-y content here, so utilize the tag filtering system as best you can and never, ever feel bad asking me tag anything here!

"Brave" knights had ventured into a series of caverns filled with monsters, following ancient prophecy describing the weapon at the centre. Rumours stated that chained within was something that could kill even the dark gods that plagued them.
They expected a sword, but what they found was a creature. Ancient and feral, the thing did not take kindly to their intrusion, and it sent the monsters to converge upon them the moment they refused to free it.
Somehow the knights survived, though their numbers were reduced, and with blessed chains they bound the creature further, turning the caverns into their base of operations, with the thing trapped in the same chamber it always had been.
The damage it had sustained during the binding left it weak, enough for the knights to be able to use captured witches to begin to alter its mind. To force obedience, remove knowledge of its true nature, to separate it from the Darkness, to make it loyal to the order.
They mangled its name, striped the ancient pronounciation from the word and dragged it into their time. They called it Kara, believing it could be used to purify their lands. It didn't matter that it seemed to be a little girl, not when she was clearly a creature of darkness.
Should she attempt to challenge them the fire in her cell would be snuffed out, black stone quickly losing heat as they opened a small dam, sending frigid water flooding the cell and making her shiver in terror. Her fears and weaknesses were used against her, over and over she had been scrubbed clean, water both an effective punishment and a test of obedience, one she was forced into over and over again.
By the time they were finished Kara was almost unrecognisable. The feral child had been tamed, the knight's cruelty instilling within her a fear that drove her to need their approval, more obedient than even the most loyal of their order.
Her small back was covered in tattoos, the symbol of their order surrounded by spells that both ensured her loyalty and kept the Darkness from being able to gain control.
Every evening she bathed, and her self-generated clothing were replaced by black robes with the order's symbol embroidered across the back. Damaging them was grounds for punishment, as was letting hair slip from the tight braid they had her wear. She was to be their perfect weapon, not a hair out of place, and none of her old life remaining.
The ancient chains and modern bindings had been replaced with thick metal bracelets that she herself had helped them fit into place, ancient runes mixed with latin prayers to keep her "curse" at bay. They were without seam, tight enough that they almost melted into her flesh. These bindings were accompanied by a collar of similar construction, as well as bands around her ankles, all symbols of her captivity, preventing her from ever forgetting.
At their command she now hunts, wielding the sword they had created for her by melting down her original shackles, as well as the strange knives she had been found with. Oh how the creature had cried as they forced her to watch, weeping as they destroyed one of the few things precious to her, replacing it with another symbol of her new life. They broke her spirit, and it would take a miracle to bring back any semblance of what she had been. Kara is a weapon now, a hunter of her own kind, something that the knights consider almost pure.

Rules
This blog is here so that people can have fun. If I see any sort of bullying, I will not hesitate to turn anon off and block the users I see doing it.
That being said, my rules are quite simple, and I ask that you obey them.
First and foremost, THIS IS AN ALL INCLUSIVE BLOG. You ship SebaCiel? Cool. You ship CielLizzy? Cool. You’re trans? Cool. Bi? Cool. Nonbinary? Cool. I will NOT tolerate hate of any kind, especially toward my followers. This includes ship hate, body shaming, and discrimination of any kind.
That being said, I will let it be known I am uncomfortable with otherkin for very, very personal reasons. Please do not reblog my art or writing with kin/ID tags.
I enjoy a good laugh, so I don’t mind the occasional silly question. However, I reserve the right to ignore something I find offensive.
I am caught up with the Black Butler anime, Black Butler II, Book of Circus, Book of Murder, Book of Atlantic, the musicals, and the OVAs. Because of this, I will only be answering asks about things contained in these until I have fully caught up with the manga.
Some asks I receive may be offensive. If I think that there is a chance it could be offensive or triggering to someone, I will place the answer under a cut with the proper warnings.
This blog will not accept roleplay requests.
While some people may find it offensive, I will refer to Grell as female. I can relate to her character in more than one way, and have no intention of denying what I see as canon. I truly hope this doesn’t bother anyone.
This is a work of fiction and should be taken as such. I will NOT tolerate any anti vs anti-anti drama here. Period. The drama I’ve been involved with is toxic and damaging to my own mental health, and I will not argue with anyone over my stances for whatever reason. Don’t like something I post? Either blacklist the tag or block me and move on with your life.
In addition, there are a few things I’d like to list as disclaimers:
I am not responsible for a minor coming across content which is 18+. There are many warnings placed on this blog, and all 18+ content will be tagged as such. This disclaimer also applies for those residing in a place where the content of this blog may be considered illegal in some way.
All characters appearing in 18+ material have been aged up or deemed to be 18 years of age or older.
This is a ship safe blog. If I see ship wars, I will not hesitate to block you. The same goes for any hate I receive in my inbox.
FAQ
Who is Astre?
Astre is my Kuroshitsuji self insert persona, a demon shipped with Joker. I could get into more detail, but honestly, I’d rather not unless you guys want to send asks about him. I’ll happily answer them!
Who you write for?
Long story short, any anime/OVA-canon or musical-canon character. I’m not caught up with manga yet, but I hope to be soon so that I can add the plethora of manga-exclusive characters to my writing portfolio - especially Bravat! Until then I’m most confident writing the anime, OVA, and musical characters for all you lovelies to enjoy~!
Do you have a favorite character to write for?
Despite the fact that most of my confidence comes with writing characters I’m familiar with, there lies a single exception, and he’s actually the answer to this~! I absolutely adore writing for Bravat! He caught my attention from the minute he was introduced, and I’ve done so much research on him that I’ve debated making a full on roleplay blog for him. If I do, I’ll let you all know~
I also really, really enjoy writing for Grell. Her character is one that I can relate to, and back in my early Tumblr years I roleplayed her a lot. maybe if I can ever get into my old account, I’ll revamp her blog and we’ll bring Lady Grell and Sir Red back ;)
Do you, ya know, ship nasty stuff?
This blog ain’t about my ships, hun. I’ve been involved in the anti and anti-anti drama before, and it absolutely destroyed my mental health. I was sent some not-so-good things by some really shitty people on both sides of the debate, so I’ve learned it’s best not to disclose my feelings on the subject. If that bothers you, you can feel free to leave.
Does that mean you won’t write for ships?
Honestly, I’m game for just about anything that isn’t triggering for me - which isn’t much, honestly. That being said, this blog is meant as a “x reader” type blog, so I’d like to keep canon x canon ships away from here if I can.
But if what you’re really asking is “will you write my SebaCiel/SebaReaderCiel smut for me???”, then the answer is no.
So you don’t ship (ship)?
Again, I’m not answering questions like these. My views are my own, and yours are your own. Let’s leave it at that and move on with life, shall we?
Where do you stand on the Great Grell Debate?
Grell is a trans woman, a queen, and I love her. No, I don’t accept criticism.
Can you tag (thing)?
Of course! If you ever need anything tagged, be it a trigger or not, feel free to let me know! I want this blog to be enjoyable for as many as possible, and I know something as simple as tagging can make that difference.
That being said, all asks and scenarios will be tagged with the characters they contain, as well as any ships involved. If need be, I’ll gladly make a tags page so that you guys can figure out how I tag stuff in case my system isn’t easy for some to use.
Do you do matchups?
Yes, but only if you fill out and submit a form. If they get overwhelming, I’ll be limiting how many I accept at a time.
Why do you keep your reader gender neutral?
As someone who’s been in fandom their whole life and realized over 5 years ago that fem-identifying labels didn’t feel right, I understand the struggle to find inclusive content - especially for x reader content. My writing features a gender neutral reader so that others can have what I’ve longed for - inclusive content that hopefully doesn’t isolate them just because it uses female pronouns.
Will you write nsfw/triggering content?
Hell yeah! Dark fiction is my favorite thing to write, so I’d adore to get some darker themed asks here and there. Don’t worry, they’ll all be tagged properly so that anyone who doesn’t like that sort of thing can avoid it.
I use mobile, so I can’t blacklist!
Honey, mobile came out with a blacklist feature some time ago. If you can’t figure out how to use it, either enlist in some help or just avoid my blog altogether. I’m not going to stop writing what I enjoy just because someone doesn’t know how to use the internet.
I’m a minor, can I still follow?
Yeah, I’d rather you not. In my experience, even if I say “as long as you use the blacklist feature!”, we all know that the chances of that happening are very low. So, to avoid that problem, I’m gonna say plainly that I don’t want minors following me.
If I find out that you’re following me and you’re under 18, I won’t hesitate to block you. Period.
But-but-but Tumblr is 13+!
Yeah, well the app is 17+, and this blog is 18+. Life has rules, kid. Get over it and follow them.

☯ 𝗩; ❙❚ — ' TBN ' ❪ myth au ❫
Inspired by Bram Stokers Dracula and more horror-based versions of Dracula. This verse is an au where the count / Vlad’s dad is closer to the original Dracula. He’s a callous, completely unforgiving monster that doesn’t let anyone undermine him or tell him what to do. He isn’t the cowardly, ‘comedic relief’, pg rated Dracula we see in Young Dracula. He’s a monster that isn’t to be challenged. Vlad isn’t given any leeway like he is in the show and is pushed more and more to be a monster just like his father and undergoes a lot more mental and emotional abuse, sometimes even physical.
This verse follows the same plot points in the show there are just a few differences in order to make it more realistic to the original myth. Vlad, after he turns eighteen, terrified of his father, of him winning and becoming a monster. Runs away and uses his newfound powers to stay hidden. But with Vlad being the Chosen One and also the Heir to the Dracula throne. He is forever scared of his father finding him and dragging him home and forcing him to be everything that a vampire is.
