not to brag but I may have curated THE black butler playlist

it's in chronological order to the story with gems in there, sprinkled in some mainstream too, easily skippable if it distrupts the overall vibe for you. really proud of how this one turned out, feel free to suggest any other song you think is fitting! I'm big on lyrics as well as melody.

couldn't miss the opportunity to put @hpeaverrr's breathtaking art on the cover

some of the songs I NEED to spread are:

midsummer eve - banshee (she's an amazing artist who portrays being an SA survivor with a true siren voice)

where I go - newdad

metaphor - the crane wives

carousel & waltz no.2 - cihat aşkın (a turkish classic)

satılık krallar & kıyamet senfonisi - almora (same, but it's an unknown legend. can't begin to express how good their music is)

in too deep - the sweeplings

the taste of my own poison - bambi baker

angel of death - mercy necromancy

you won't regret checking them out, promise <3

an adorable seamless pattern showcasing cute vector illustrations of A mix of wildflowers in a winter setting., floral clipart, white background, isolated and a palette of soothing pastel colors.

 An artistic photo showing purple orchids and pink peonies with yellow centers set against a black background. The elegant flowers intertwine to create an eye-catching pattern print that could be used for wallpaper, textiles, scrapbooking or invites. Deep, saturated royal purple and fuschia complement the soft pastel yellow.

An artistic photo collage of delicate wildflowers in soft pastel pink, purple and yellow tones arranged in an engaging pattern. The subtle color gradient and overlapping organic shapes create a dreamy, ethereal stylistic print that could be used for stationery, fabric design or digital backdrops. The varied wildflowers have a hand-drawn, whimsical style adding lightness and airy vibrancy.

BBU Community Days | Showcasing: Owned

It's really not easy, picking one favorite here. So I cheated. You'll get two by others, one by me. And it's still SO hard. There’s always more recs waiting, just ask me :)

Showcasing piece one: "Porn with Plot". (Not as explicit as the name sounds, but still clearly nsfw) by @winedark-whump.

So she showered off, and got ready early. She likes to drink the water from the shower, pretending she is a hiker under some waterfall, even though she doesn’t know where the image comes from. Water fills her stomach, too - his new assistant refuses to bring her lunch, so her days teeter between each meal he remembers to bring. 

Stretching her legs out along the sofa, she turns on the television. 

Television is a waste of time, he says. He watches tutorials and TED talks instead, improving his mind. So instead of the frivolities of Netflix, she pulls up her own set of tutorials, the only content he allows her. 

It is the most exclusive porn streaming service in the world. 

This piece legit haunted me. Christie is an absolutely fantastic character, and the way she deals with being kept in her room and with just herself and a very limited entertainment choice, as company, bored and alone most of the time, with an owner who isn't even entirely evil, just, doesn't care much. 

I love her coping mechanism, and it breaks my heart at the same time. This piece resonated with me so hard, I still think about it months after first reading it. Thank you so much Isaac, for writing it!

Showcasing piece two is rather a series than one piece because I love the character development of the owner from caretaker to whumper: "Lost Cause Jude" by @whumpinggrounds

She’s waiting a few paces from the couch, glad she’s remembered the new, stricter rules. Sometimes Isabella forgets, because at first, she was supposed to sit on the couch. Mistakes like those always makes Miss Mara irritated, which makes Isabella scared, which makes Miss Mara more irritated – but tonight, Isabella remembers, and Miss Mara grins. Dipping her chin, she directs Isabella to kneel by her feet, and Isabella does it gracefully, neatly, tucking her legs under her and looking up at her owner with big, pretty eyes, the way she’s been taught. “Good girl,” Miss Mara praises, cupping Isabella’s chin, and the Box Babe feels the praise as a warm glow in her chest. 

There’s a package on the couch next to Miss Mara, but like a good pet, Isabella keeps her eyes on her owner’s face, even as Miss Mara focuses on opening the sealed plastic package. Grinning, her owner lifts something out – it’s green, and lacy, and not very big. Miss Mara dangles it in front of Isabella’s face, a few inches from her nose, and then the fabric shifts and makes a familiar shape and Isabella understands, face turning red. 

(This is from "For You", an explicit piece; but actually not many chapters are nsfw)

Mara is absolutely fascinating as a character. She goes through a wonderful corruption arc, grows into her role as the owner of her ex girlfriend in the meanest possible way. I love the way Isabella sees the world, the moments of clarity, the always underlying horror that she isn't entirely conscious of but still feels. And Mara, ugh, listen. She's just hot, okay? Intelligent, controlling, ambitious, she has it all, and her whole character just makes *sense*. My favorite owner in all of the BBU, I think. Just perfect.

And now, to my own piece. Another series. "Mark and Gemma get a Pet" (contains non explicit nsfw).

"I…" Ms Gemma swallowed thickly. "Ira?"

"I’m yours," the pet replied. "I’m yours, and I’m here for you."

Ms Gemma put her own hand on hers, guided her hand towards her lips, and the pet followed. 

Her owner’s lips were soft under her fingertips, trembling. Her grip around the pet’s hand tightened, and she pressed a tiny kiss to her fingertips. Then another. And another.

"Do you really love me, Ira?" She paused to look up at her. "Could they really make you love me?"

The pet - Ira, she was Ira again, and it made her both anxious and excited - cast her gaze down, looked up at Ms Gemma through her lashes. A little shy, very sincere. "Yes," she said quietly. "I have loved you from the first moment I saw you, Ms Gemma."

(From "Comfort", a chapter rather far in the story)

I could forever talk about Mark and Gemma. I reread it today, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Another corruption arc for pet owners, however in a different setting. Mark is a dudebro and idiot, Gemma is his controlled, ambitious girlfriend. They'd clash at some point anyway, but it accelerates when they suddenly become owners of a second-hand pet. I love Gemma's desperate need to keep everything under control, to do everything right, and refusing to see how everything is just barely kept together. I love the heartbreaking trust Ira has, that everything will be alright, even though there's nothing under her control, and how these two dance around each other, somehow both the reason for the other's suffering - in very different ways.
