Like many people Kuroshitsuji has been on my mind lately
And I know that one of the big debates is whether or not Sebastian cares about Ciel
But
What I find more interesting is how much the rest of the staff cares about Sebastian.
Bard Finny and Mey Rin genuinely give a damn about him. Bard lends Sebastian his nightclothes, he taught Finny how to read, they all admire him for the way he keeps the manor under control. When they thought he was dead, they cried for him.
It's just kind of profound, even if he loves no one, even if he's not capable of that, he's still so loved by these silly humans
I am so passed April fools cause life hard and busy but I hope we're still in a silly mood ;;v;;
(very belated) April Black Butler Animo Black Arts Magazine- Ciel Dies.
I really needed to participate in this months mag for 2 reasons, 1) because I missed doing last months mag even though the prompt that I had pitched since day 1 of me joining (wild west) was finally selected... and I didn't even get to participate. so I'm bummed. and 2) because I actually also am mostly responsible for conceiving this prompt and I am proud of myself(as well as everyone else who participated hahaaa) for having an idea. so yes.
Returning to the Kuro fandom as an adult after liking it in ur early teen years is crazy to me because now I realise Bard is the hottest man Yana has ever written.
I finally know where Lilia got his cooking from. The artist for twisted wonderland is the same creator of Kuroshitsuji aka black butler. Do you know who else is bad at cooking in that series? This guy!
So not only is bard a bad cook but Lilia is also a shitty cook. He has the behavior of Charles Grey, but his cooking is Bard. Lilia!!! You’re good at fighting and so is he! BUT YOU BOTH CANT COOOK!!!!
Lilia and Bard must be banned from the fucking kitchen guys!!
I'm in the emerald witch arc of the kuro manga and I had gotten kind of excited because I had just gotten to the first flashback hinting to r!Ciel but that was immediately extinguished by how absolutely heart wrenching it is to see o!Ciel trapped in the flashbacks and mental state of when he was in the cage.
His trauma responses are so intense and realistic, it's painful to see and understand but it was done so well.
And the addition of Sebastian remembering that when Ciel was first brought home the only thing he could stomach was warm milk with honey and making sure that Finny knows that says so much about how far Sebastian has come in terms of genuinely caring and it means so much to me.
Anyways sorry for rambling, I'm gonna go sob in a corner now. 🥲👍
- William's an insomniac and perfectionist, he thinks about if his work is good enough or not whenever he can't sleep
- Grell and Ronald like to go out to parties together as friends, Othello picks them up when they can't be trusted to make it home alone, they tell him everything that happens at the parties but he's sworn to secrecy
- Grell buys herself boxes of chocolates every valentines day because nobody else will and she eats them on the couch while watching romance movies
- Ciel used to sleep in his father's shirts as a kid, but he started sleeping in Sebastian's after his father's death since he saw Sebastian's as a father figure
- Lady Sullivan really likes collecting and drying out flowers, she has an entire collection and she makes Wolfram make sure they don't get damaged
- Lizzy has sleepovers with Grell where she picks out dresses and does Grell's makeup for her. She doesn't understand, but she knows that Grell's a girl, she started using the correct pronouns after she found out
- Ran-Mao is autistic, that's why she doesn't talk much and her voice is flat whenever she does speak
- Snake makes art out of his friend's shedded skin and he became really popular for it
- Mey-Rin is one of the only people Ran-Mao will actually talk to, she understands that she has a hard time socializing and is super patient with Ran-Mao
- Finny had Ciel teach him how to be more gentle so that he could keep a pet (He has a pet bird now, it's the exact same breed as his old friend and he spends all of his free time with it)
- Ciel goes over to Undertaker's for cookies and tea whenever Sebastian doesn't want to give him sweets, he eats those cookies like he's been starved his whole life
- Bard is making Sebastian teach him how to actually cook, he uses cookbooks when Sebastian isn't available and he makes the other servants try his food when he's done to give him honest criticism
- Ronald keeps shoving William and Grell close to each other to try to get them to kiss. It worked one time and William's been a little less cold to Grell ever since
- Grell brings homemade coffee and breakfast to her friends in the office, she saves extras for William, he secretly really likes the stuff Grell makes for him
- Ciel leaves little gifts for his servants throughout the manor, he's too prideful to directly give them
thanks to @pain-in-the-butler 's tags on this beautiful post, I felt compelled because for personal matters ig I wanted to see this. and you know that I gotta procrastinate from big work with little work, so this is the lil product.
side note, in case it isn't obvious, I've never gone on twitch, so I had to do a silly amount of research to do this. but not too much, that would be criminal on a lazy Saturday.
