If I had a nickel for every anime I watched where the mc was a pure blood English noble that is the last heir to their family name and has control over a demon- like entity that has power beyond human comprehension...
I'd have 2 nickels,which isn't alot but weird it happened twice!

Caroline D'Arcy, 4th Marchioness of Lothian (died 1778)
Artist: Unknown
Date: c. 1750
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland
Description
This portrait of Caroline D'Arcy was previously attributed to Allan Ramsay. They are now believed to have been painted by Adolph around 1750 when they were living at Blickling, Norfolk. Adolph had settled in Norfolk around this time. This life-size portrait shows Caroline in an elaborate red satin dress, standing against an autumnal landscape with the sun setting behind distant hills. The flat foreground acts like a stage on which she is presented as ‘performer’, delicately playing her guitar and demonstrating her musical accomplishment. Her alliance with music and harmony was perhaps intended to balance the military associations of their family, a consequence of her husband’s distinguished Army career.

Charlotte Sophia of Mecklenburg-Strelitz
Artist: Workshop of Allan Ramsay (1713–1784)
Genre: Portrait
Date: Between 1761 and 1762
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Collection: National Portrait Gallery, London, England
Queen Charlotte; Princess Sophia Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, 1744 - 1818. Queen of George III
Charlotte married George, Prince of Wales, in September 1761. A fortnight later they were crowned at Westminster Abbey and their coronation portraits commissioned from Ramsay, who had recently succeeded John Shackleton as Principle Painter in Ordinary. Charlotte is seen in a similar setting to her husband, with classical columns and rich drapery. In coronation robes of gold and ermine to match George, she gestures towards the crown. This version is by Ramsay’s studio – the replication of state portraits for heads of state, colonial governors, ambassadors etc, was a common occurrence during this time. There are subtle differences between the copies. Ramsay’s earliest version shows Charlotte wearing a pearl necklace, whereas later portraits, such as this, feature a gem encrusted necklace.

My emails only take two forms:
Corporate approved, "you sound like a bot".
17th century British nobleman.
The latter is my natural form, the first is the result of meticulously rewriting to sound more, "natural" and "less try hard".
#how old are you?!?!#the irony#apparently I bid you farewell is out of date#that was how i signed my resignation letter at 15#I also mixed up my ancient history and modenr history and refered to Persia in modern times#1200#vampiric#17th century#british nobility#corporate emails#to be fair I did work as tech support over email so I have an excuse

Being a sebaciel shipper is crazy… I’d be watching Sebastian gently lets Ciel down on his balcony to go chase after the german soldiers dressed up as werewolves in a village hiding a deadly chemical weapon research after they both got poisoned by mustard gas and think ‘that looks kind of romantic idk’

#the context should have mattered and yet;#they look like romeo and juliet if romeo was a demon masquerading as a loyal butler to hide his hungry fangs#and juliet was a british nobility who dabbled in the underworld and sold his soul to the demon#what is true romance without the threat of mortal dangers separating them forever anyway#kuroshitsuji#black butler#sebaciel#delusional posting#first priority is flirting in the face of enemy attack

Writing real world AUs for SW is the biggest exercise in suspending ur disbelief because of those NAMES.
Obi-Wan? Yeah that's just Ben now regardless of what stage of life he's in. Dooku? Sorry you must mean signore Serenno. Legend has it he's some sort of Italian. Qui-Gon Jinn? Um. Uhhh. He was born to hippie parents in the 70s that's why. Yeah I know that's kinda fucked up. Don't ask about Ben's last name btw
#this is worse if you're writing something historical btw#currently chewing on my old west codywan horror cattle drive fic and. yeah#obi-wan is just ben#cody and rex are just names americans can plausibly have thank god#dooku is a british descendant of italian nobility which is funny bc it's kinda close to christipher lee's actual situation lmao#the way sw characters just be obtaining ethnic backgrounds based on their names as soon as you put them in a regular earth setting .... help

h-how do you ever finish any of your work? genuine question because you seem to be productive despite your agreste syndrome and I need to learn your ways. but also how do you ever finish any of your work
unclear. last night i stayed up and finished a report worth 25% of my grade at about 5am, arrived on time for my 9am lecture, and spent about half of it zoned out while thinking about seventeen year old emilie agreste. and i was one of the most active participants in the class discussion
#in some ways it IS the move to go to grad school right out of undergrad#because your body can still sort of operate like a college kid#i’m on about 3ish hours of sleep rn and this morning it felt SO over but now i’ve eaten something and we’re so back#i also don’t really do caffeine. except sometimes i’ll go get one of those panera death lemonades#i might be able to snag a short nap before work#but anyway about seventeen year old emilie. i was thinking abt how she was in that movie solitude and adrien said she was seventeen#WAIT. NO. HE SAID SHE WAS SEVENTEEN IN THAT PHOTO ON HIS DESKTOP NOT IN THE MOVIE#well. okay whatever i’m gonna tell you what i was thinking about anyway#OKAY i’m back i just checked the wikipedia page and then i watched the end of gorizilla. to make sure i’m not lying. because i’m normal.#anyway i was thinking about the solitude film and how it’s super rare and old and obscure and whatever. and how apparently#emilie wrote it herself and andre produced it#and i’m thinking about how gabe was discovered by audrey and that’s how he got his start in the fashion industry#so now i’m like?? did gabe and emilie first meet on the set of solitude? because gabe was designing costumes or whatever?#and that’s how audrey found him? have people already thought about this??#also i just checked and it doesn’t say emilie’s last name in the credits and also it’s ‘graham films’ with the twin rings logo m#so i’m assuming she’s still emilie graham de vanily at that point#anyway it comes back to seventeen year old emilie because i started imagining seventeen year old runaway emilie having her new life in pari#after escaping her british nobility life#and the first thing she does is write and star in an original movie. of course.#and she meets this repressed bisexual punk upstart costume designer who is so the opposite of everyone she’s ever known#and he’s immediately so unhealthily obsessed with her. which she appreciates.#and then they proceed to have the most toxic doomed evil relationship of all time#also she gets cheated because once gabe gets money he represses himself SO hard that he is now exactly like all the people emilie grew up w#but at least he’s still obsessed with her#this is what i was thinking about during class today. i don’t know how i get anything done either.#ml#anna rambles#asks
