#Jack the Ripper Arc

[tirnelsutcliff]

Grell being cute. Pocket opened my kindle to this chapter, so I reread it. Completely forgot this was a thing that happened. How strong are you William? And what shampoo does Grell use??

Five times is DEFINITELY a fetish.

IT MAY ONLY HAVE BEEN ~2 SECONDS OF FLASHBACK SCENES BUT WE GOT GRELLE IN THE CLOVERWORKS STYLE MY SKIN IS CLEAR MY CROPS ARE THRIVING

[whathasangramainyudonewrong]

Wrong #583

So, apparently the snacks were for a Black Butler watch party, which Angra has decided to throw for some reason

He’s not even watching the show, I don’t know what the point was

Saw this and my immediate thought was Redcliff

Black butler AU where everything is the same but Sebastian has chronic acid reflux.

one thing i think about a lot when it comes to grell and madam red is how historically jack the ripper sent letters to the cops and assuming those letters are legitimate and not hoaxes it means they wrote them in the black butler universe. and it’s just SO FUNNY imagining them writing it and purposefully making spelling mistakes and making up the fucking nickname for shits n giggles. and little details like the dear boss letter being written in red ink just make me giggle even more cuz like. i just have this visual image of grell in bed writing these unhinged letters to taunt the cops in a red gel pen while kicking her feet like a 13 year old girl writing in her diary

guda this explaining pronouns to an older servant(whoever you want) while jack is in the room minutes later jack says they want to be non-binary because it represent all the kids that make them up and it sound cool.

Good for them

while in the anime you get that madame red was sad and hurt over her sister, the manga better portrays her envy. however, I still feel at the forefront of her issues is grief. like I do think she she loved Vincent (or more likely an idealized version of him) and hated that her sister took him away, yet.

red seemingly indifferent after losing her husband, well that's after she got out of the hospital. like red just keeps going through something traumatic over and over, and who was at the forefront of her mind? her sister. her sister was the one to stay and help her recuperate from the hospital. her sister is the reason why she got married and have a child, and thus was happy. her sisters face at the wedding she remembers over and over. the sister she is so desperate to replace herself with. her love fuels her hate and her hate fuels her love and she's bursting at the seams she can't take it.

and yes she does love Vincent and all. but whose face is blurred out along with her husband's? And whose face in imprinted in her memory that she says she can never hate, that she can't go through revenge with?

likewise its her sisters face in Ciel that she did so much for, she joined the underground, she kept up the pretense for 3 years, she led him to their confrontation when they couldn't coexist anymore. one of them had to go. She's obsessed with her sister's existence, she's the one following her one step behind, if she can't have what her sister has, if she can't have her, then what's the point of it all?

I’m half way through season 2 of Record of Ragnorok and they really tried to make me sympathise with Jack T Ripper

No. His design is fire though like omg

Coolest design ever, he sometimes has those Gojo Satoru eyes. He was a fun villainous character to watch.

I love you Kojiro and I love you Adam Bible, you had my crying Loki is a slut ngl

it's 2023 and i'm still bitter about how kuroshitsuji, a complex slow burn mystery manga, got absolutely massacred by its shitty semi-episodic shota/fujobait anime adaptation

[milfhandholder]

I don't really believe in MBTIs but I just had to know

[visualstudiocode]

the number 1 thing that i hate in anime is when they have a character that is supposed to be jack the ripper. thats a real murderer that killed real people not victorian anime boy of the week

its especially jarring in anime that otherwise focus on fictional super natural events and then all of a sudden. BOOM fictional explanation of real murder using some character with super natural powers

[johntorrington]

i read the golden kamuy manga in a really short period of time a couple months back and now i’m watching the anime so i remember what happens i just don’t really remember when or in what order. which is fun it keeps it fresh it keeps it interesting. but like knowing that usami shows up and just not knowing when is a type of fear that i’ve never experience before in my life. on the edge of my seat every episode lest i get little freak jumpscared.

lowkey feel insane enough rn to attempt to hunt down all the parts of the black butler manga where grell shows up because shes been in my brain recently and I have thoughts about her but I need to revisit the source material to form something comprehensible
