Okay James, no chill

Silent Hill 2 Remake spoilers:

[elizaxspears]

My life has been consumed by the Silent Hill 2 Remake and it's been amazing. I love it. 9/10 game. Horror game of the year for me. Seeing SH2 get such a faithful remake is everything. From the atomosphere, to the ambeint sound/souds of the enimes, to the soundtrack, to the acting and voice acting, it's phenomenal.

It still hit all the emotional beats and though there were two parts that I think the orignal still does better, the remake did everything else so well. All that waiting was worth it and I'm it's hard to beleive that we finally have Silent Hill back in the limelight, right up there with the Resident Evil remakes, Dead Space, Alan Wake 2, etc.

"In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill." - always gives me chills and I love it.

Also, let me just say, James got a total glow up. He looking very handsome in the remake.

Close enough, welcome back Sebastian Michaelis and William T. Spears.

Hi ^^ since the William content craving is at an all time high, would you mind sharing any of your thoughts, expectations, theories or whatever comes to your mind about William? I'd be curious to know what other William fans have to say about him :3 If you feel like it, thank you in advance!

Hi! Oh the William contenet craving is very much at an all time high! You get me talking about William and I could go on for hours! As for the question itself, I've always had one theory about William having a bigger role to play near the end of the story.

I swear I'm trying not to be William bias with this but I've always felt he might, reluctantly, team up with the Phantomhive's to stop the Undertaker because part of me thinks he might be the only one who could win in a fight against him? From all we've seen so far, Undertaker is a force to be reckoned with but William also has a great advantage with his scythe being long range if he wanted it to be. Other then Season 2 (which I know, isn't canon) and a little bit of Book of Circus when he confronts Sebastian outside the tents, we've never really seem him fight. We don't know really what he's capable of.

The most recent example I can think of is his most recent appearnce when he gave a smack down to the Bizzare Doll and sort of showed off how strong he has the ability to be because really, we know nothing about William. I mean, sure, we know nothing about the other reaper's as well but we've at least seen what they're capable of. We haven't really seen that with William. He's around enough to make you remember him but he's absent enough that it's hard to get a good grasp on him too.

Part of me, for years now, always had it in my head that during the climax of Black Butler (which Yana's getting ready for, WHICH I AM NOT) that he'll play a lot bigger roll. Maybe that's just be hoping because he's my favourtie character, but I feel like he's the trump card. He's strong, he's got the reach with his scythe, he's fast, he's a combination of Sebastian, Grell and Ronald when it came to their fight with the Undertaker during Book of the Atlantic. Maybe he's not a good fighter, maybe he's the weakest of the reapers but we don't really know that because we've never seen him do much outside of Book of Circus or pop up here and there with Grell or to save Ronald (or both of them).

Anyway, before I ramble even more, my biggest theory for William is that he'll become way more important later on and be a key in assisting to defeat the Undertaker. I feel like he's got hidden strength that we've not experienced yet and he's had it up to here with the Undertaker causing such distrubances, he'll eventually step in when the time is right to join the Phantomhives just so he can finally get some work done without being bothered all the time.

HE JUST FEELS TOO IMPORTANT AND UNIMPORTANT AT THE SAME TIME and that leaves me with many questions. I know we'll probably never get the answers about who he is/was, what his past is or why he chose to do what he did but having him as part of the "heros" would make me so, SO, happy.

[elizaxspears]

Hi! Will this work? I'm not sure, but here's hoping it does because I really wanted to share the William anime compilation I did with all my fellow William fans. English dub, by the way. Eventually I might go back and do the Japanese one but that's for a later, less tired me lol

I've tried many other places to upload this and share the link buuuuut none of it went according to plan, so this is a last ditch effort LMAO and if it doesn't work, and you want a 30 mintue video of anime William, just let me know and I'll send you a proper link.

[elizaxspears]

Hey there! Huge fan of your fics, I'm so glad that the William-nation has writers as engaged as you! You're really making me want to write my first Kuro fic in like 14 years gjfgfd I'm super impressed at how you manage to finish like... super long novel length fics with proper arcs and stuff, teach me your ways gjfgjd (Also, I've been losing so much sleep over reading your fics, I just can't stop myself haha)

OMG that means a lot to me?? I'm super happy you enjoy my fics that much! I've been a William fan for years now and I want to keep putting him into as many situations as I can, even if the fics end up far away from the orignal idea I had planned for them lol I'm legitimately so honoured by your ask!

I'd love to teach you my ways if I even knew what I was doing myself xD That doesn't mean I wouldn't love to talk more about it/him in general! Seriously, get me talking about him and I won't shut up xD Hopefully I can contiue to deliver quality fanfics for Will! And if you do end up writing that Kuro fic, I'd love to read it!!

You've made my night and I'm really smiley right now, thank you so much!! I'd have to ask which one did you enjoy reading the most, I'm very curious about that!

May the William nation stay strong!

[elizaxspears]

This timing could not have been worse

[elizaxspears]

Hang on, since the Green Witch Arc is getting animated next, does that mean we'll get to see how the reapers are created, animated? Does that mean we'll see Alan and Eric almost properly animated? (even if they're DEAD and probably still covered by shadows)

I'm hyped for the whole season but my reaper brain is just focused on these points. I feel like if they do animate it, we might get to see more of what reaper took what route? I know there's already tons of theories and some pretty obvious ones, but we could get more of a confirmation?

Also William and Grell in Cloverworks style? I'm excited to see that, as well as Sascha and Ludger for the first time.

The hype is REAL, my friends, I can't wait to finally watch it next year.

[elizaxspears]

While I'm on the William hype train (and let's be real, I'm not getting off anytime soon) are there any clips of William any of you fellow William enjoyed want to, well, have clipped?

[elizaxspears]

Hi, me again. Doing my William video, I, of course, came across the infamous Beast and Sebastian scene with William monologuing over it and I'm not sure if it's just me, or if I want it to mean anything, but something about it, to me, sounds like he's saying this from experience.

I'm not sure if anyone else has asked, or said the same thing, but those are the kind of vibes I get from him here.

[elizaxspears]

Not that anyone asked, but I painstakingly compiled all of William's anime appearances into one video and all of them combined come to a respectable 28 minutes of screen time, give or take. Also without the OVA Will the Reaper since that's basically ALL him

I've heard his voice so much, my thoughts are in it

[elizaxspears]

The back of Black Butler season 1 Blu-ray has season 2 screenshots instead of season 1, but the cardboard sleeve that it came in has the appropriate season 1 screenshots. Anyone else seen this before?

Just a funny little misprint, but one I find amusing

[elizaxspears]

I'm not ashamed to admit it, but watching the Book of the Atlantic credits roll, makes me highly emotional and cry real tears

[elizaxspears]

THEY DID. THEY CAME BACK. SO LET ME ADD SHOKUZAI TO THE LIST. ALSO BANGER

I know it’s a long shot, but imagine if SID came back to do the opening song for Black Butler season 4. Monochrome Kiss? Banger. ENAMEL? Banger. Glass Eyes? BANGER

[elizaxspears]

I cannot, I NEED to share my favourite screenshots of the first episode of Season 4 !! Already can't wait for the next one ahhhh

Also the outro???? Style???? Holy shit !!!!!

A Passionate First (The Evil Within)

Better Than Dinner (The Evil Within)

Our Anniversary (Kingsman)

A Gentleman Like You (KIngsman)

5: Do you respond to comments?

Sometimes if it's a one shot but usually no because if I reply to one and forget to reply to another, I don't want someone to get the impression I'm ignoring them by not replying, so I usually just do a big thanks or something in the author note's of the next chapter lmao

6: What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Oh that's tough. Most of them are angsty but I'd have to say Mind Who You Reap.

7: What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

That's even tougher. I think Haunted Heart because everyone gets the feel good ending.

8: Do you get hate on fics?

Sometimes but I just ignore them anyway, so mentally, no lol

9: Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yes. All kinds. A lot I don't post but of the stuff I do tends to be either vanillia or some sort of domination fetish (mostly about William being dominated or dominiating because yes)

10: Do you write crossovers?

I have one! A TEW/Black Butler crossover! In my own time I started writing a Criminial Minds/Black Butler and even a TMNT/Black Butler way back in the day but those are both very cringe now and will never see the light of day.

11: Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don't think so, no.

12: Have you ever had a fic translated?

A couple into Russian

13: Have you ever co-written a fic?

Nope. Well, sort of. There was a TEW thing going around for a bit but I don't think anything actually came of it?

14: What’s your all time favorite ship?

Ronilliam, hands down. I eat them up like no tomorrow.

15: What’s a fic you’d like to finish but don’t think you ever will?

The Red Record. I REALLY want to but I always have so many other projects on the go and it always ends up falling to the wayside despite having an outline ready and waiting to go.

16: What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue for sure.

17: What are your writing weaknesses?

Descriptions. Sometimes I'm good at them but other times they just falls so FLAT

18: Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?

If a chracter speaks it, sure, why not?

19: First fandom you wrote for?

Storm Hawks. Boy, that was the wild west for me.

20: Favorite fic you’ve written?

Oooo that's a hard one. Bewitched By the Eyes of a Reaper is up there but if I HAD to pick the ulitmate, it'd probably be Mind Who You Reap. It's not the best work I've ever done (part of me wants to rewrite it and update it a bit) but it's the one I can go back to and just enjoy reading without nitpicking myself too much lol

I'll tag @checkeredtablesloth as well as anyone else who wants to do it!

[elizaxspears]

Shipping with William is so strange. I feel like you look at him and think he wouldn't work with anyone but then I've come to realise that he works well with a lot of characters? The popular Grelliam, the semi-popular Ronilliam, the SebWill's, the Eric/William or Alan/William, Undertaker/William and even down to the rareest pairs like Mey-Rin/William. He just, works?

I used to be one of those people who disliked OC/Canon but I've quickly changed my mind on that when I created an OC for him that was meant to be a horrible person but very swiftly devloped into an in depth reationship marred by lies and decit that formed into a deep love or willing to give her up so she may live a better life then what he could provide with everything taken from him (depnds on the story I want to write). Like genuinely, she's become 'canon' to me now and she's always part of his life whether his past is mentioned or not and I love them?

IDK, I'm rambling at this point, but I just wanted to say that shipping with William is a strange yet fulfilling expereince because I love the angst but I also love giving William the love and support and care that he deserves.

Listen, I have a lot of William thoughts. A LOT of William thoughts and some times, I just need to blurb and get them out there lmao
