#his way of loving the Phantomhives is so twisted

[seekers-who-are-lovers]

What a strange orphanage this is.

It’s been said that small children do behave like dogs. They need training and routine. Training them is essential. An untrained dog becomes unruly, a menace, destroys your furniture, defecates and urinates anywhere, barking excessively, and no or too much self-confidence.

Pomeranian: The Ciel-like class has the characteristics of this breed. “Cute, feisty and furry, Poms are intelligent and loyal to their families. Don't let their cuteness fool you, however. These independent, bold dogs have minds of their own. They are alert and curious about the world around them. Unfortunately, in their minds, they are much larger than they really are, which can sometimes lead them to harass and even attack much larger dogs.”

Mastiff : The Sebastian Michaelis lookalikes embody these aspects too. “They are patient, lovable companions and guardians who take best to gentle training. Eternally loyal Mastiffs are protective of family, and a natural wariness of strangers makes early training and socialization essential.”

Collies : The insecure Mey-rin doubles have these traits reminiscent of this breed. “These swift, athletic dogs thrive on companionship and regular exercise. With gentle training, they learn happily and rapidly.”

Corgis : They look like a dozen Dolls. “The breed has an excellent disposition, is highly affectionate, loyal, and they adore their families. Additionally, Corgis need to be around their humans the majority of the time to prevent destructive behaviors, and this is perfect for families who have children or stay-at-home moms.”

There’s this poignant scene from the famous film “Amores Perros” (“Love’s a Bitch”) by Alejandro González Iñárritu where a killer dog, Cofi, when left with several dogs in a room behave like one of an untamed beast by devouring and hurting them as in a dogfight. The innate characteristics come out. The dogs are part of a symbolism. It was a beautifully orchestrated film that would put you on the edge of your seat because of how real it is to live in this dog-eat-dog, survival-of-the-fittest world.

If Undertaker is, indeed, the mastermind, it is interesting how he views the humankind, categorise them through different dog breed because that’s how we behave untamed. We devour each other. Literally and figuratively. He’s above us and, probably, laughing at us.

Hi, could u do yandere ciel, sebastian, ran mao, lau, ash, and hannah from black butler with a reader like teruhashi from saiki k, shes basically a really pretty girl who believes she is completely perfect but acts sweet and humble outside, and has a huge fan club involving other nobles and important politicans, and is actually loved by literal gods and is seen as a goddess to other ppl with ppl willing to sacrifice their life for them all bc just for her beauty.

Teruhashi Reader | Yandere Black Butler

Your beauty is other-wordly, causing all to indescribable chase after your heart and happiness. As it's always been. And just as your fan base has always been so has your arrogance and narcissism. You know you’re the perfect of most perfect and it's all going to your plan. You worried that even those who might have an inkling of your true thoughts might think to stop you but just like the others they're just as obsessed with you:

Ciel Phantomhive

“If you’d be willing, the Phantomhive estate would appreciate your visit.”

He’s not offering this is a warning

He wouldn’t trust the uninformed masses to mishandle you

It's best you stay within his trusted care

Forget about being a bargaining chip 

He sees how others revolve around you and he feels the need to insert himself

Perhaps protect you like he wasn’t 

Sebastian Michaelis

“You are truly someone of power, to deceive so many humans. It's admirable.”

Sees through your actions easily 

Your character is an enigma he finds himself falling for all the same

Perhaps it's not the universal charm you seem to have but your general behavior

Either way, he’s more than happy to be commanded to protect your blissful existence

And it's more than entertaining to watch how the world bends to your twisted will

Ran Mao

“...keep?”

She doesn’t need to speak often for all to know she loves you

Nuzzling into your neck, hugging you from behind, squeezing your chest

Her lack of boundaries works perfectly for her

And you’d be none the wiser holding her roaming hands that had the blood of potential suitors on them

But if Lau approves she’ll start making moves to exact their will

Lau 

“Yes, I think that’s a delightful idea Ran Mao!”

He’s intrigued and in love at first sight

Now that first sight most definitely is not when Ciel holds that ball

No doubt he’s been aware of your existence for awhile

Its only a matter of time before he starts making moves to have you in his grasp

Ash Landers  

“Such purity! You truly are the diamond surrounded by human scum!”

Is definitely unbiased lies

He’s not in love he’s aware of your true purity lies again

He’s madly obsessed no doubt putting you on a deity-like level

He will commit all sorts of atrocities in your name

And should you protest he twists your words

or worst of all he decides you've becomes poisoned

To which he’ll happily sorrowfully remove you’re infected self

Hannah

“My master wishes for you to stay…won’t you please (Y/n)?”

As always Alois’ will is but her own

She’s just happy they match up this time

She’d want nothing more than for you to join their family

No doubt she knows her master and he’d refuse to…punish you the way he does her

It’d warm her heart if you came willingly

A family shouldn’t stay apart for too long

[moonmaiden1996]

Butler's Bride

Some requested this ages ago, but I forgot to post it till now.

The nights grew colder, the wind harsher as autumn settled over the Phantomhive manor, painting the grounds in deep reds and browns. You had come to work here at the insistence of your father, who saw nothing more than a powerful alliance in your role as the manor’s herbalist and healer. Hidden behind the guise of a mere servant, you blended potions and mixed spells, weaving remedies for Ciel’s asthma and carefully protecting your brother’s health from afar. Yet you knew the real reason you were here—your father’s relentless pursuit of power, a way to bind you to the Phantomhive name, by your work. The bitter irony was not lost on you: even now, he attempted to control you from a distance.

Each day passed in a haze, with you performing your duties and forcing yourself to ignore the weight of Sebastian’s gaze, which seemed to settle over you at every turn.

Sebastian watched you intently, his fascination growing with each spell you cast, every whispered incantation that passed your lips. But fascination was only the beginning. As he studied you from the shadows, he felt the first hints of something darker and more dangerous—a need, primal and consuming, that had been growing since the first time he saw you in that moonlit clearing, casting spells in the depths of the forest. He had seen countless mortals succumb to love, to obsession, but this—this was something more, rooted in the twisted hunger of his demonic nature.

You moved through the manor as if you were a ghost, performing your duties with eerie grace, speaking only when necessary. The cold distance between you both drove him mad, stirring his possessive instincts as nothing else had before. How could you deny him? You belonged to him, and he was prepared to make sure you understood that.

One night, as you poured over ingredients in the dim warmth of the manor’s hidden apothecary, you heard the soft rustle of fabric as Sebastian entered the room. You didn’t bother to look up, focusing instead on the delicate powder you were adding to your potion. His presence was as familiar as your own heartbeat, lingering in every dark corner, in every shadow. He’d likely come to observe you yet again, standing too close, always watching.

“What are you working on this evening?” he asked smoothly, voice a dark caress in the quiet room.

“An infusion,” you replied curtly, the cold bite of your words clear.

"For the master, or for someone else?” His voice lowered, edged with something unspoken, and a shadow of a smile played on his lips as he stepped closer, his gaze never wavering from your face. The air around you grew heavy, charged with an intensity that sent a shiver down your spine.

“For my brother,” you said evenly, your fingers tightening around the vial in your hand.

“Ah, your brother,” he murmured. “Always so fiercely devoted to him. Yet… if only he could see that perhaps you could do more for him if you were to accept the power you would gain at my side.”

You turned to him, something sparking in your eyes as you met his gaze. “I will never be your puppet, Sebastian,” you said, your voice low and defiant. “You may have twisted my father’s hand, but you will not twist mine.”

Sebastian’s eyes narrowed, his lips pressing into a thin line. He stepped closer, so close that you could feel the unnatural chill radiating from him, a reminder of what he truly was. “Puppet?” he echoed, his voice sharp. “I think you misunderstand me. What I want is far from control. I want a partner—a true companion. I want you to choose this of your own free will, to choose me, and to bind yourself to me. But if I must, I will claim you by any means necessary.”

“Claim me?” You scoffed, even as his words sent a shiver down your spine. “I am not some prize to be won, demon.”

His expression softened, though his eyes remained intense, unwavering. “It’s true—you are far more than that. You are a force, wild and untamed, like magic itself.’’ his gloved hand danced across your cheek as he spoke. “That is why I seek you as my bride. Do you think I would look twice at someone who cowers, who lives in fear? No. It is your defiance, your strength, that calls to me. But we both know that you cannot be free of your father’s influence without someone powerful enough to keep him away.”

The words settled over you like a dark promise, wrapping around your heart and soul. As much as you hated it, he was right. Your father was a cruel, calculating man who had already made it clear he would go to any length to control you, to use you for his own ends. Marrying Sebastian had already reduced your father’s hold over you, giving you enough freedom to protect your brother. Yet, his influence lingered, a shadow over your life that you knew wouldn’t fade unless you took drastic action. If Sebastian truly meant what he said, he could be the final step toward severing that connection forever.

“And what would I gain by accepting this arrangement?” you asked, refusing to give in without a fight. “If I’m to be your bride, as you call it, what would I receive in return?”

Sebastian’s gaze softened, his hand reaching to brush a stray strand of hair from your face. The touch was gentle, a stark contrast to the possessive darkness that lingered in his voice. “Protection,” he replied. “Freedom from your father’s tyranny. A place where you can practise your craft without fear, without the constant worry that he might interfere. And,” he added, his voice lowering, almost a whisper, “the opportunity to harness your power as no one else can. To truly live as you are meant to.”

You held his gaze, studying him with a silent intensity, weighing his words against the reality of your situation. There was a hint of something in his eyes—a vulnerability, almost, as though he were offering you a part of himself. In that moment, you realised he was not lying, nor was he manipulating you. In his twisted way, he meant every word. Sebastian Michaelis wanted you, not as a pawn or possession, but as a companion, a partner bound by blood and darkness.

"And my brother?” you asked quietly, your voice softening as you began to relent.

Sebastian inclined his head. “He will be under my protection, as I promised. And if you ever wished for him to come to the estate, I would see to it myself that he is safe and cared for.”

A long silence hung between you, the weight of your choice pressing down on you. Accepting him would mean aligning yourself with a demon, with darkness itself. But refusing him… refusing him would leave you forever vulnerable to your father’s influence, shackled to a past that would haunt you until it destroyed everything you loved.

Slowly, you reached for his hand, your fingers brushing against his in a silent acceptance. His grip tightened almost immediately, as though he feared you might slip away, but when you looked up into his crimson eyes, you saw a glint of something else—a depth of desire tempered by respect, an acknowledgment that you had chosen this path willingly.

Sebastian’s lips quivered into a smile, a dark satisfaction spreading across his face. “You are mine,” he said softly, his voice a promise, a claim that resonated with both pride and reverence. He lifted your hand to his lips, pressing a kiss to your knuckles, a touch both tender and possessive. “In darkness, in power, and in blood.”

For the first time, you felt a strange warmth settle in your chest—a feeling of neither love nor hatred but something entirely different, something born of choice and fate intertwined. You had accepted him, this demon who saw in you not just a woman, but a partner equal to his power, equal to his darkness.

As you gazed into his eyes, you knew you had made a pact not with a man but with a force beyond comprehension, a promise woven into the very fabric of shadows. And though it was not love that bound you, it was something else, something fierce and unbreakable, something that would endure beyond life and death itself.

You were no longer merely a witch or a sister—you were his bride, his chosen, bound to a demon who would do whatever it took to see your power fully realised, to see you free. In him, you had found a strange kind of freedom—a dark and twisted liberation that would shield you from all who sought to control you, all it cost you was your hand in marriage.

Please like, comment, or make a request. I am hoping to write more spicy Sebastian stories in the future

[spooky-bunnys]

Request idea so the reader is a gardener for the phantomhive manor and Sebastian sometimes sees the reader take food scraps, milk and a few medical supply and heads deep into the garden. Sebastian out of curiosity secretly follows the reader and sees that the reader is feeding a bunch of stray cats and tend to the wounds some of the cats have

I added a twist. Hope you Enjoy!

Momma Cat

Sebastian x Male Reader

If there was one thing the workers were thankful for. It was (Name). He helped Finny with the garden. So when he messed up (Name) would do what he can before Sebastian or the Young Master found out. Which is what happened right now. Finny had planted the wrong roses so (Name) was removing the roses planted and replanting the correct roses.

As he got more towards the middle of the garden he heard hissing. Alarmed (Name) jumped up. He knows the Young Master is allergic to cats but....they're so fucking cute! (Name) quickly made his way to where he heard the noise. When he made it to the center he stumbled across what looked like a slightly pregnant black cat.

What surprised him was that she was fighting an orange tabby cat. She looked to be losing and he couldn't handle the thought of what'd happen if she did. (Name) quickly grabbed the orange cat by the scruff of his neck. The cat upon being picked up froze. (Name) shook his head and walked away from the other cat. When he made it to the forest (Name) ushered the orange cat away before returning.

When he returned he noticed how injured and hungry the future mom cat looked. So (Name) quietly snuck into the kitchen. Snatching some bandages (He makes sure to have a first aid kit in almost every room because his friends are always getting hurt), a small bowl of milk, and some chicken scraps from his earlier lunch. When he came back the black cat instinctively hissed at him.

(Name) instantly raised his hands before slowly lowering the bowl where he mixed the chicken and milk. Not tasty for a human but the cat loved it. (Name) slowly got to work on cleaning and aiding her. He made sure to keep his hands away from her stomach knowing she'll definitely attack him to protect her kittens.

After he finished he softly scratched behind her ear. Enjoying the sound of her pur. "Well my little queen of darkness I must return to my work. Come again if you ever need anything." (Name) walked away from his new found friend. Happy he was able to help her. What he didn't expect was for his new friend to actually come back.

The newly named Queen kept coming back to the Phantomhive manor garden. Luckily (Name) was always able to sneak bits of milk and scraps. Sometimes bandages if needed. This continued for months. (Name) was never caught by his friends, Sebastian, or even the Young Master.

That is until Queen had gone into labor.

(Name) quickly ran into the kitchen not even looking to see if anyone was inside. He quickly grabbed a blanket, his first aid kit, milk, and more scrapped food. Before making his way to Queens "bed" as he called it. While this was happening he didn't notice Sebastian cleaning up after another one of Bard's "accidents".

He didn't notice Sebastian silently following him either until it was too late. As (Name) was helping Queen by cleaning off the kittens and shredding the food into the milk for her. Sebastian was watching in awe. He just watched what was probably the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. "My what a beautiful sight~" (Name) jumped and hid Queen and her kittens. Frantically trying to come up with an excuse.

"Mister Sebastian! I-Its um not what it looks like!" Sebastian raised a eyebrow smirking. "Whatever do you mean? I watched you help the beautiful feline birth her adorable kittens." (Name) blushed in shame. He'd been caught red handed. "I'm sorry sir. I had found her a few months ago. I didn't want anything to happen to her and she kept coming back. Please don't tell Master Ciel."

Sebastian gave him a closed eye smile. "Alright I won't tell the Young Master. As long as you introduce me to your little friend there." (Name) smiled brightly showing Sebastian the cats. He started introducing them starting with Queen before going to her kittens. Once he was introduced Sebastian asked a question (Name) honestly wasn't expecting.

"Queen? Why give her such a name?" (Name) blushed bashfully. "I uh called her my little Queen of Darkness when we first met and she started answering to Queen so it just kind of stuck." (Name) rubbed the back of his head as Sebastian gave a chuckle. "It quite fits actually." They turned back to the cats. (Name)'s gaze soften nodding. "Yeah it does, doesn't it?" Sebastian looked at him from the corner of his eye. He made a promise right there.

He will marry this human.

[pain-in-the-butler]

How do you think Black Butler will end? 😭 Most people think that Sebastian will eat Ciel's soul and that will be it. Which does sound the most likely I guess but I also see people saying that R!Ciel and Undertaker are planning something to save O!Ciel. I hope for this more than Sebastian eating Ciel's soul. And I think it's possible too. I just find it really odd that R!Ciel seems to hate O!Ciel now after everything. Like surely he understands why O!Ciel did what he did? Plus, they did have a special bond too. I just don't think R!Ciel truly hates him

It's hard to say what R!Ciel is capable of understanding at this point, considering he's no longer a living human. It's possible he doesn't have all his memories, or that those memories have been altered. It's also possible he does have his memories but he isn't the person he used to be. People have referred to R!Ciel as yandere, and that seems to be the vibe that Yana is going for. I think R!Ciel does love his brother, but something about that love seems twisted and jagged. Still, I think in the right circumstances, he may be capable of gentleness and honesty again.

Undertaker has explicitly stated he doesn't want to lose any more Phantomhives, so he probably is trying to "save" Ciel, whatever that means for him. We've seen that his actions are slightly counter-intuitive, like he's trying to challenge Ciel by putting him in dangerous situations with the knowledge that Sebastian will come save him. He seems to both admire and dislike Sebastian. He's weird and I won't pretend to understand him.

Ciel is my favorite character in the series, and it will be hard to see him die. It will be harder not to see him die. The story has showed us every step of the way that Ciel is doomed by the narrative, a boy who lives under a false identity and is not capable of preventing his own death but simply of prolonging it. He brushes away all attempts for others to get closer to him. He kills people and lies to his family. He tells himself he's unbothered, but his crimes haunt his dreams and he wakes up screaming. How long can he go on like this, especially when his motivation for living in the first place is revenge?

If we had perhaps seen a steady inclination in Ciel towards love and kindness over the course of the series, I would wonder if he might fight for his life in the end. But instead I feel like Ciel has been a pretty stagnant and unchanging character. I think he did remember how to smile, and he seemed perhaps a tiny bit more comfortable around his friends right before the Blue Cult arc began… but he's also happy to use them in his schemes and refuses to acknowledge that they mean something to him. He doesn't want people to die, but he's still willing to kill. He doesn't live for the sake of life anymore - he lives with the knowledge that his soul will be taken, and sooner rather than later.

Ciel being as unchanging as he’s been is a little boring to me, but it can at least be thematically relevant if his inability to waver off the path of revenge is what ultimately kills him. If Ciel doesn't reach out to anybody, doesn't try to change his fate, and doesn't become more interested in living, than what is the narrative purpose of saving Ciel? What would his being alive mean? If Ciel were a real child, none of this would matter, but he's a character in a story, and if the writing is good, his life or death should serve a greater purpose.

You could say that his survival would mean "everyone deserves to live," but that would be weird because Yana has already showed us via her own storytelling that not everyone in her universe deserves to live. You could say that his survival would play into the story's themes of rebirth, but Ciel already had his "rebirth" moment when he chose to return as his brother. Not to mention, "being alive" is not the same thing as "living." Is it rewarding, again strictly narratively, if Ciel is alive when he no longer knows what it means to live? Isn't that a tragedy all the same, only now it's one that doesn't match the themes Yana's already presented?

This got a little winding, and I'm starting to lose my train of thought here, but ultimately my point is, I think Ciel has to die or else the story unravels and loses its larger meaning. But I know others will feel like Ciel living would give the story meaning instead and I'll happily be disagreed with! I love discussing writing, so please feel free to add a rebuttal. Thank you for the ask!

[darkspellmaster]

This ain’t a question, but the way that Black Butler/Twst fanfic is written is great yet shocking from some of the twists by also connecting Black Butler.

It’s a crossover, of course it’s supposed to be like that.

But yet, the reapers during Endless Halloween I definitely did not expect…despite it being the most logical looking at it now.

Like I knew majority of the Black Butler characters are gonna eventually going to be brought up into the story or mentioned, but HOW they will makes me wonder.

Like if there were someone that’s self aware and they already know majority of things, so they aren’t so afraid of what’s to come.

That’s until Ciel fucking Phantomhive pulls up (more like GOT PULLED IN) too.

With some Black Butler enjoyers, there’s a possible chance there is a twst enjoyer within them (*cough cough* Yana Sensei-)

Devious and unfortunate shit be following him sometimes istg 😭

Even worse if they already know that, even worse worse if they are also hugely aware of where Ciel comes from and in their world Black Butler is just a fictional manga/show that they were and still obsessed with.

Even as far as to knowing such things as the contract, false Earl, and his trauma.

Manga canon things basically, I’ve read since up to the most recent chapter

*Both seeing the reapers in the spectrum realm during an endless Halloween event*

“Wha- HOW ARE THE REAPERS HERE?!”

“How do you know they are reapers- and plus you should know since said you know a lot about this world-”

“Yeah. But not when your world and this one seems to be colliding or connecting because how the hell are THEY here!?”

“That is also my question…”

Well that’s private conversation between the two would be fun to imagine

In conclusion: this story is very fun to imagine self inserts, extra points if they were around his age or just a couple years older AND apart of the 21st century 😸

Extra points for him I guess since the person can just give him better heads up’s along the way.

Or he’ll just use it to his advantage in some way.

You know that sounds like an interesting twist on my twist of these two works.

Please do write it. I would love to see where it is taken.

Meanwhile, lets just say being Ciel in Twisted doesn't mean he gets to escape who he is, his past, or even how Sebastian has raised him, and whoooo boy is it both helping and hurting him in the chapter I'm writing.

Thank you for all the kind words in this. I shall strive to continue on this journey.

Your Humble writer.

One Hell of a Love (Book 1.5) Chapter Twelve

Sebastian Michaelis x Demon! Reader

Chapter Twelve: One Hell of a Crisis

Summary: (Y/N) and Sebastian handle the issues aboard the train before having an encounter with Claude.

            After a few minutes of running, (Y/N) and Sebastian looked out over the train below them, farther down the hill they overlooked. Ahead lay a divergence in the track. On one side was a town where there would be a stop and the bomb the kidnapper left would explode. On the other, the track continued. It was clear what the demons needed to do.

            “Forks would hit better from here,” said (Y/N).

            “I agree,” said Sebastian. He threw three forks from his jacket pocket. The cutlery precisely hit the levers on the side of the track, switching the train’s path from the station to continuing on tracks.

            The demons leapt down from the hill onto the locomotive of the train. The conductor was staring at the change in direction in shock.

            “Excuse us,” said (Y/N). The conductor whirled on them. “There is a bomb on this train that will detonate when it stops. Do not pull the brakes, whatever you do.”

            “H-Huh?” The conductor was not given an answer as (Y/N) and Sebastian entered the passenger cars again.

            “Ah! You’re Phantomhive’s butler and maid!” exclaimed Fred from where he was curled up with a stomach ache.

            “Where is the Young Master?” asked Sebastian curtly.

            “He went to save a child in the freight carriage,” said Fred.

            (Y/N) narrowed their eyes. Ciel was likely running straight into trouble or had done so already.

            The door opened behind them, and the nervous conductor cleared his throat to speak to the passengers. “I-I came to inform you…Not long ago, the train switched to a different track and is now headed in another direction. On our current course, we are heading towards an unused iron bridge. It probably won’t be able to withstand the weight of this train, so our final destination…” He swallowed. “Will probably be heaven!”

            There was a moment of silence as the passengers absorbed the information. Then chaos broke out as people screamed and ran about. (Y/N) was just impressed by the conductor’s delivery of the news as if it was a normal change in destination (though they were cursing their bad luck that a bomb prevented them from stopping but the tracks were also going to run out).

            “Then, we’d better stop this train quickly,” said a new voice.

            (Y/N)’s nose twitched as they faced the other end of the passenger car. A man walked into the room holding Ciel as a hostage with a knife to his neck. Ciel looked annoyed. (Y/N) was irritated by the multitude of issues being thrown their way.

            Sebastian was amused. “Young Master. So you have been taken hostage once again. It really seems like you enjoy being captured.”

            “What are you talking about?” huffed Ciel.

            “So…it was you.” The “priest” stood up. His face twisted in anger. “Johnny the Slaughterer.”

            The passengers froze as yet another emergency appeared; the murderer had escaped containment.

            “Look who’s here. Jack-Knife Hayward,” said Johnny. He brought the knife to Ciel’s throat again before addressing everyone present. “You can guess what’ll happen to this boy if someone doesn’t stop the train, right?”

            “We would all like the train to stop, I assure you,” said (Y/N). They smiled brightly. “But if it does, a bomb planted by a kidnapper will detonate.”

            The murderer now looked as confused and worried as the rest of the passengers.

            Fred groaned and pulled himself to a seated position. “A-And there’s also a cholera outbreak.”

            Hell, our luck is terrible, thought (Y/N).

            “A train with a bomb inside, heading for a shabby bridge, and as if that’s not enough, there’s cholera, too?” listed off Johnny incredulously.

            “Indeed.” Sebastian shook his head ruefully. “It’s a full-course critical situation.”

            “Enough with this farce,” said Ciel. “Sebastian, (Y/N), do something to resolve this situation. Now. That’s an order, Sebastian.”

            “Yes, my Lord.” Sebastian bowed.

            “I am tired of this mess,” remarked (Y/N) in agreement.

            “Enough of this!” said Johnny. “I don’t care about cholera or bombs. I’ll get out of this on my own!” He pulled Ciel with him and exited the room.

            “Young Master!” Sebastian moved after him, but Fred caught him around the waist.

            “Wait! You’re just servants! This is too much for you,” said Fred. “At a time like this, we should rely on the help of all the professionals who happen to be gathered aboard this train! Let’s join forces and fight against evil.”

            I preferred his brother. (Y/N)’s nose twitched.

            “I see. You’re being quite optimistic,” said Sebastian.

            “He may be right,” said Jack (Jack-Knife Hayward). “In the past, I also made a living as an assassin.” He unbuttoned his shirt to reveal more of his tattoos. “Then, Johnny killed someone important to me, so I decided to quit and become a priest. A passage of the Bible says, ‘Thou art thine enemy.’ It’s time to bring this matter to a close. But I currently have no weapons.”

            “Use this.” The grumpy Japanese man unwrapped his precious parcel. He extended a katana to Jack. “This katana, Zantoumaru, is a treasure handed down through our family. I brought it with me to pass on to my son, who is studying here, but I think it will be better employed helping you.”

            “Then, you can leave the bomb to me,” declared the archaeologist, standing up. “I happen to have worked with timing devices when excavating ruins. Normally, you have two cords: a black one and a red one. One is a dummy. If you cut the right one, you’ll succeed in deactivating the bomb, but if you get it wrong, then BOOM! The only problem is that it will take time to locate the bomb.”

            “Oh! Maybe we’re safe!” cried the timetable obsessed man. “The switch ahead is important! If we switch at the track bound for High Peak, then switch again at the following point…Oh! We can gain twenty minutes!”

            “Oh, yay!” cried the passengers as ideas were thrown out.

            (Y/N) wasn’t sold, and although they were impressed, they trusted their and Sebastian’s abilities much more. Sebastian though the same and opened a window.

            He smiled. “Thank you for very much, but we can do it alone.”

            As the passenger’s blinked in confusion, the demons flipped outside onto the roof of the train. Ahead of them, Johnny was dragging Ciel towards the back of the train.

            “You’re persistent,” huffed Johnny.

            “Please hand over the Young Master,” said Sebastian.

            “Yeah…Just wait there. I’m coming,” said Johnny.

            (Y/N) nearly rolled their eyes. He clearly had something he supposed was “clever” in mind. However, it wouldn’t work.

            “I won!”

            Johnny dropped to the ground as the train sped towards a tunnel, grinning madly as he expected Sebastian and (Y/N) to be killed upon impact with the tunnel’s ceiling. His eyes widened with horror, instead. Sebastian stood tall, his head burrowing through the ceiling with ease since his demonic self was stronger than the stone that did no harm. (Y/N) had at the last moment bent into a backbend, contorting themself past human capabilities.

            Sebastian stepped forward towards Johnny when the train exited the tunnel. Johnny let go of Ciel in fear and scrambled back.

            “Here, Young Master,” said Sebastian, extending a hand.

            “Y-You’re monsters!” cried Johnny.

            (Y/N) picked up Johnny by the collar, and the man trembled at the strength of the maid. “Goodbye, murderer.” They tossed him off the train.

            “Now, for the bomb,” said Sebastian. He turned and grabbed the edges of the train car. “Even if there were red or black cords…” He lifted the ceiling from the train, revealing the bomb attached to the inside. “…there would be no need to choose between them.” Sebastian through the ceiling into the air, and the bomb detonated far above them.

            “Hey. Think of the passengers,” said Ciel, glancing at the man in the cloak and hat, still sitting at a table.

            “All is well,” said Sebastian pleasantly.

            “That was the dining car,” said (Y/N).

            “Besides, that passenger…” Sebastian trailed off when he and (Y/N) met each other’s gaze. “Oh, well. Next is the bridge problem.”

            Sebastian and (Y/N) jumped from the roof and ran to the front of the train, stopping on the tracks before the bridge. The two planted their feet. The train approached. They were hit. However, their strength outperformed the engine of the train, and it slowed to a stop before hitting the unstable bridge. It hung on the edge with the two demons in front.

            “You barely made it,” said Ciel, climbing down from the roof.

            “How could we be Phantomhive servants if we could not properly cook a full course critical situation?” said Sebastian smugly.

            “Besides, everyone is disembarking as we speak, all in one piece,” said (Y/N) as the three walked to see the rest of the passengers getting off the train.

            “Y-You’re wonderful, Mr. Butler, Mx. Maid,” said Fred, stumbling towards them and holding his stomach.

            “Right! The cholera outbreak.” Ciel looked at (Y/N) and Sebastian. That was the last crisis to solve. “There’s a chance that all the passengers might be infected.”

            “Of course not. No one has cholera,” said (Y/N), smirking when Ciel turned to them in confusion. “They have stomachaches. If you recall, they all ate the eel pie on the menu and then had rice balls with plum. Eel and plum are not a good combination, and together they caused the pains of what people assumed was cholera.” They held up a vial. “Digestive medicine should do the trick.” They tossed the vial to Fred, who eagerly swallowed and jumped up when he felt better. (Y/N) smirked. “Humans have such sensitive stomachs; they should know better than to mix certain foods.”

            “You two aren’t ordinary servants,” said Fred, looking at (Y/N) and Sebastian.

            “We are a hell of a pair of servants,” said Sebastian.

            “Sebastian, ensure the passengers disembark safely,” said Ciel. “And make sure my luggage is unharmed.”

            “Yes, my Lord,” said Sebastian. He and (Y/N) walked towards the freight car. Sebastian broke off to check on some passengers, and (Y/N) went to check the luggage.

            (Y/N) picked up Ciel’s valise and, content with its intactness, turned to leave. They were met with Claude standing directly before them.

            “(Y/N) Noir,” said Claude simply.

            (Y/N) didn’t flinch at him knowing their current human name. Just as Sebastian had investigated him and the Trancy Manor, it followed that Claude would investigate them. “Claude Faustus.” Not letting him initiate the conversation, they looked him up and down judgmentally and tsked. “For a butler, you’re not very put together. Why, you have frosting all over your nose.” (They absolutely knew them and Sebastian dealing with the train had caused it, but they weren’t about to leave Claude a chance to speak).

            Claude didn’t flinch at their words either, but he opened his mouth, and his long tongue reached up to lick the frosting away. (Y/N)’s nose twitched in distaste.

            “You work for the Phantomhives, correct? Alongside, what is it now, ‘Sebastian Michaelis?’ ” said Claude.

            “You know I do.” (Y/N) didn’t play games. Well, not with demons such as Claude.

            “And yet you have no contract.” Claude’s eyes traced over them. The curiosity rested lightly in his words. “I suppose you play this part for entertainment. It must be getting boring. Perhaps you’ll find a more…stimulating environment.”

            “As you could see today, life is never boring at the Young Master’s side.” Sebastian stepped up beside (Y/N). His words were amiable, but his gaze was hard as his eyes met Claude’s. He didn’t like the other demon approaching (Y/N).

            “No, it is not,” agreed (Y/N). They raised an eyebrow distastefully at Claude. “I doubt I could find anything more ‘stimulating’ between contracts. Certainly not in a den of thieves.” The jab at Claude stealing Ciel’s soul was clear.

            “I can see you’re quite content,” observed Claude, his eyes narrowing ever-so-slightly as he looked between the raven and cat demons.

            “What called you into our business today?” said Sebastian, curtly moving to the point. He wouldn’t dance around the point with Claude, the thief of Ciel’s soul, especially not when the demon’s attention was so enraptured with (Y/N).

            Claude’s eyes moved from (Y/N) to Sebastian, and he pulled a letter from his pocket. “If you’d like to investigating His Highness, you need only enter through the front gate.” He knew Ciel was looking into the Queen’s Spider after her mention of his involvement in cases that grew suspiciously criminal. He also knew Sebastian didn’t want Ciel near the Trancy Manor in case anything went wrong with his memories and soul, but Sebastian would have to let Ciel go once Claude continued to speak. “Besides, you want to help Young Master Ciel exact his revenge, do you not?”

            Sebastian plucked the letter from his hand. (Y/N) glanced over and read the invitation. It was to a costume ball for Halloween.

            “I shall see you there,” said Claude, turning and walking away.

            (Y/N) and Sebastian didn’t respond. Sebastian already knew he would go. He had been searching for a way to bring Ciel’s soul to maturity once more, and he was capable of dealing with Claude in order to get his meal. (Y/N) would go because Sebastian did. They wouldn’t let him go to the Trancy Manor, the den of demons, as a lone demon versus a group.

            Sebastian knew they would come, but he was torn. On the one hand, having them near would satisfy his own desires and also mean he could be at their side if the Trancy demons attempted anything. On the other hand, Sebastian wanted (Y/N) nowhere near Claude. He had seen Claude’s reaction when they had appeared.

            The moment Claude had taken in their demonic aura, there had flashed in his golden eyes something wild. He had torn a piece of (Y/N)’s skirt away in his attempt to grab them. And now he had approached them and insinuated they should leave the Phantomhive household and come to the Trancy Manor for a more “stimulating” experience.

            Sebastian’s eyes flashed fuchsia. He didn’t like the way Claude looked at (Y/N). He didn’t like the way his eyes followed them covetously. Claude was planning something, and now it didn’t just involve Ciel. It involved (Y/N).

l

            (Y/N) wouldn’t be tempted from the Phantomhive household. No…that wasn’t right. No, (Y/N) wouldn’t be tempted from Sebastian. Claude couldn’t understand it, but (Y/N) was remaining by their former mentor’s side. Not even the promise of more entertainment (which His Highness was constantly creating, if a bit impetuous and vulgar with Hannah) interested the younger demon.

            That was alright, though. Claude didn’t need to rely on words and promises to draw (Y/N) in. His plans were along far different lines. Claude preferred a more action-oriented plan, anyways.

One Piece x Black Butler crossover (?)

A/N: I have not written on tumblr in ages and thought it was time to start again. This is inspired by this weird dream I had recently; I just really needed to write it down. I have been trying to catch up on One Piece - just finished Water 7 and Enies Lobby- and I also fucking love Black Butler, so I suppose that is what triggered this fever dream. It's 2nd pers POV and total trash but wtv. English is not my first language.

Tags: all platonic, fluff, angst (there's a natural disaster happening in the background), OC ig?

Buckle up it's gonna be confusing as hell.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Years away in a distant future or just a fucked up different dimension, in a skyscraper-filled city, you're chillin on the couch in your apartment at the very top of a huge building. It's a beautiful morning, the sun is shining and people go about their day unbothered. You're relaxing on the couch watching your favourite show, your mom is cooking some chicken in the open space kitchen, your dad's working on his laptop at the dining table and your younger sister is probably texting her friends. At your feet lays a beautiful black cat, Salem, he's napping comfortably, while your other cat Shaggy - an orange tabby looking like he just got struck by lightning - is trying and failing miserably to distract your mom so he could steal some cut-up chicken. Cuddling into you is Oscar, a grey Irish wolfhound who thinks he's still small enough to climb into your lap.

Suddenly, an emergency broadcast takes over the TV. A reporter in a grey suit is standing in front of a map of the city. "To all citizens, we have gotten reports of a massive influx of water coming from the nearby islands. Powerful waves the size of skyscrapers and huge floods are expected to hit the city this afternoon. We advise all citizens to evacuate immediately to the station port. Stay safe!"

Hurriedly, you get the cats in their carrier, get Oscar's leash and start packing. Just throwing whatever clothes you think you'll need in a suitcase, stuffing another one with books and mangas and taking a small backpack with snacks. With your family, you make your way outside to the rooftop where a car on a rollercoaster track awaits you. After many twists and turns through the city, finally arriving at the station, you meet with your best friend. They're alone, only their adorable golden retriever by their side. As a train station employee takes all your bags, you notice you're suddenly also alone with only your pets. People are embarking on the sea train, an old late Victorian-looking model that can also travel on water. How that is possible, you do not question it.

As you get on, your friend notices that you have next-door compartments. They offer to take the cats and enter their cabin. As you make your way to yours, you notice that Oscar is getting excited, like he can sense someone familiar inside the 6-seater cabin. He looks adorable tippy tapping in front of the door, his tail wagging happily. Smiling, you take off his leash and open the compartment door. Was it your family your dog was so happy to see? Nope. Inside the compartment, opposite each other next to the window, there sits on your left, Sebastian in his usual butler fit and on your right Ciel Phantomhive in a dark blue suit (you know the one). Oscar rushes in and basically throws himself at Sebastian, excitedly slobbering his face in saliva. Sebastian looks distraught and gently tries to get the dog to settle down. Ciel just seems bored out of his mind. You greet them and get Oscar out of the demon's face. He just turns around and tries to nuzzle his little nose into Ciel's legs begging for pats. Begrudgingly, Ciel accepts his fate. You put away your backpack and settle next to Sebastian, while casually having a conversation with the duo. Something about how things have been lately, about Ciel's business, and whatever crazy cases they have had since you last saw them. By now, Oscar has settled down at Ciel's legs and is napping peacefully.

There is a knock on the door and it opens to a giggly Undertaker in a long coat and his silly-looking hat. He's carrying a small leather bag. After greeting each other, he sits down on Ciel's side next to the door and takes off his hat. Sebastian jokes about him potentially packing zombies again. There's another giggle from Undertaker.

In the next-door compartment, your friend is in quite a predicament. They're sitting at the window minding their own business just crocheting some blanket. In front of them, Nami is trying to enjoy a good book while Luffy snacks and rambles on about some weird bug he found earlier. Zoro is sitting next to his captain napping and Sanji is trying to flirt with your friend. It's actually quite pathetic really cuz you're friend is not even listening, they have earphones in. Poor boy.

--time-skip--

Back in your compartment, Ciel has laid down on the bench trying to get some sleep, Sebastian is staring out the window, while you and Undertaker chat and braid each other's hair.

In your friend's compartment, Luffy has finally fallen asleep, and Nami is still trying to enjoy her book. Your friend is also asleep. Shaggy (the orange cat) is lazying about inside their carrier. Salem is discreetly trying to get the cage door open.

--another time-skip--

Rain started pouring outside. The train is steadily approaching the port where it's gonna switch to travelling on water for the last half of the journey. You have fallen asleep, head in Sebastian's lap as he is absentmindedly playing with your hair (very out of character of him lol). The Undertaker moved back to his spot and is hunched over with his head on the wall next to the door snoozing away.

The train rattles for a second. As a result, Sanji accidentally kicks Zoro awake and they start fighting. Salem has managed to get out of the cage and has made his way out of the compartment without being noticed (smart af cat). He climbs next to you and just threateningly stares at Sebastian. The cat's eyes get this weird glint for a second, Sebastian's eyes shining red in retaliation. Then the cat just casually nuzzles next to your head.

Shouting from the other cabin wakes you up. There's a loud crash in the hall and Salem slips away and climbs on Undertaker's lap to continue their nap. The door opens to a red-faced Sanji and a disgruntled Zoro. "Nami kicked us out..." Sanji introduces himself and Zoro to the butler and sits down next to you. Zoro grumbles annoyed and goes to enter the cabin but gets stuck in the doorway because of his swords. After fumbling about for like a good minute, he eventually sits across from you in between a now sleeping sitting-up Ciel and a cat-cuddling Undertaker. He mumbles something and goes back to his nap. Sanji curses him softly in French and then moves his attention to you and the others. He pulls out his cigarette and lighter. "Oh, I'm sorry. Is it ok if I smoke here?" Sebastian goes to answer but you beat him to it. "No actually. Sorry. The kid's got asthma." Sanji nods and puts away his cigarette. Casual conversation ensues.

--time-skip--

Officially having begun travelling on the ocean, everyone decides to stretch their legs a bit and move to the dining car for some lunch. The storm has picked up outside. Everyone sits at this huge booth next to the window, Luffy stuffing his face as usual, Zoro and Nami sharing a drink and the Black Butler trio sipping some tea. It's quite a weird scene. Seeing 2 people dressed in normal everyday clothes, 4 pirates and 3 Victorian gentlemen. Despite the weirdness, you seem to be enjoying yourself. Outside, in the distance, you spot the Sunny sailing in the same direction.

Out of nowhere, there is a loud boom. The car rocks violently and lights start flickering. Everything goes black...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And that's when I woke up...

This was probably one of the weirdest but also most vivid of my dreams as of late. If you got through to the end, thank you for reading this nonsensical wild ride. Who knows, maybe this whole thing will get me to start actually writing again.

Stay safe out there!

[shipcestuous]

This is MAJOR SPOILERS for the Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji manga, so anyone reading this post, DO NOT read this post unless you are past the Blue Cult Arc in the manga. !!! SPOILERS !!! One of the later arcs for the BB/Kuro fandom is that it's revealed that the character we know as "Ciel Phantomhive" isn't actually the REAL Ciel Phantomhive. It turns out Our!Ciel (the MC of the manga) has been posing as his older twin brother, the real Ciel, who died when they were kidnapped to use as sacrifices for a cult ritual. He's been brought back to life as essentially an advanced zombie, and from what's shown in flashbacks back and where the storyline is currently at, Real!Ciel has shown to have a very UNHEALTHY attachment/obsession with Our!Ciel. There's no actual incest, but there's definitely the dark undertones that you see in a lot of dark works that portrays incest in very dark manner going on. And it's clear that being resurrected has caused Real!Ciel's unhealthy attachment with Our!Ciel to manifest in an extremely twisted way. Flashbacks shown when they were still innocent children, Real!Ciel HATED the idea of being separated from his twin brother when they grew up, as they were naturally very close. Our!Ciel clearly loves his brother, but shows more independence to stand on his two feet instead of always relying on his brother when they grew up. The contrast between the two and how they view their relationship is interesting!

Hi Anon,

This ship came up once before. At least, I'm pretty sure it's the same ship. You're definitely not the only one seeing something there.

[k-s-morgan]

Hello!

As far as I know R!Ciel's existence is not very explicit in Weston arc. Though, it still might be difficult to come up with Undertaker's motivation for his villain arc, because he basically wants to bring all Phantomhives back to life.

Hm... Maybe his obsession with Phantomhives could still make sense? I'm sure you'll come up with something dope. :D

Plus a message from @tohru-n: Hi Katrin! R!Ciel's existence is not explicit in Weston arc. I wonder what motivations you will give to Undertaker for antagonizing our couple in BoA and in Weston while helping them in S1. We currently don't know his specific motivations either in the manga.

--------------

Thank you both so much for explaining! I'm glad that R!Ciel won't get any direct references, I really love seeing all anime seasons, OVAs and movies as the components of one long, wonderful story. They even work together in terms of the timeline.

I have some plans for Undertaker already - I mixed some bits from canon with my own ideas. A part of it will include him having been in love with Ciel's grandmother and caring about Ciel as her extension in a twisted way. Since he still has access to the Reapers' library as per S1, he'll be able to see the date of Ciel's death at some point. Upon realizing it's coming within a year, he'll try to eliminate Sebastian, perceiving him as the main threat. He'll lose his medallions in BoA, one of which has the date of Ciel's death on it, and it will pave way for the Weston arc and the events that take place in the second half of S1.

It's a half of my vague outline, I'll flesh it all out with more depth when we get there!

[0pawprint0]

Decided to start posting my doodle dumps here, too!

Doodle 1: my Mekakucity Actors/Kagerou Project OC, Kia.

Doodle 2: my OC for a game I wanna make one day. Their name is Chel (pronounced: shell).

Doodle 3: a character I considered making my Supernatural OC. They’re based on the wisps or dead lights in various folklores.

Doodle 4: character from an MV I hope to put out eventually!

Doodle 5: Fiona, my OC for Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs. She’s based on the frog prince/princess and the frog. She is not a princess, so when the frog prince asked her to kiss him, he ended up cursing her as well. Now she turns into a frog at night.

Doodle 6: another OC from another game I wanna make one day! Her name is Maya! She’s an experiment and a streamer!

Doodle 7: me/my persona Pawprint with hair down

Doodle 8: maid Paw!

Btw, the dots and arrows are because I had to download them off Instagram oops. This is the second set of doodles I’ve posted.

Doodle 1: my main Twst OC, Ciel! He’s twisted from Captain Hook! You can’t really tell, but it’s more his lifestyle than appearance. Lowkey I designed him before I knew who I wanted to base him on and was too attached to the design to change it. But y’know what? If Riddle can have red hair, Ciel can have blue. Also, yes, his name is Ciel because, again, before I fully decided his whole thing, I thought it’d be funny to name my MC Ciel because Yana made the game. For context, Yana made Black Butler and the MC in that is Ciel Phantomhive. Then the name stuck because it’s cute. And it fits Octavinelle’s color themed names lol!

Doodle 2: very early design of my Yuusona. They look WAY different now.

Doodle 3: a character I saw in a dream once. Their name is Siu.

Doodle 4: a reaper OC of mine, Piko. Idk what to use her for yet tbh.

Doodle 5: My magical girl OC, Violet. She finds that outfit to be very impractical.

Doodle 6: Twst hates me and I needed to express it.

Doodle 7: another character I saw in a dream. I think his name was Tamaki. I hope to use him for something one day cause I love him.

Doodle 8: my OC’s Io and Lin in middle school!

Doodle 9: Angel Sebastian! He is my precious boy (OC).

Doodle dump number three! Four and five will have to be on a separate post.

Doodle 1: the monster girl I saw hammering away in a dream. She’s actually my Villainous OC now and her name is Gambit! She’s an ex sidekick who was fired because the hero she worked for is a dick. Gambit didn’t match their aesthetic enough anymore.

Doodle 2: Viper, a second gen character I made for Helluva Boss. She’s Striker’s kid. Clearly.

Doodle 3: Shinen, the living porcelain doll!

Doodles 4-6: a drag look I wanna put together (the split dye is how it’ll look irl and the other two are just variations it’d be if I use him as an oc)

Doodle 7: Modrá, another second gen character. The kid of Azul Ashengrotto and my Twst OC, Ciel. Modrá is going to see Barbie hehe <3 They dye their hair depending on the outfit (it’s temporary dye) because she finds it fun.

[lovelyyandereaddictionpoint]

Hi! I'm so sorry if you're not taking requests right now, I did look but couldn't see if requests were closed or open.

But if they're open, do you have any headcanons for yandere Ciel Phantomhive with a reader whis similar to Nanno from "Girl From Nowhere"? Gender neutral reader please. Thank you so much in advance! Have a lovely day.

“Nanno” Reader | Yandere Black Butler

Just another mission, another disguise for Ciel Phantomhive. His newest job is to apprehend the corrupt students and teachers in this elite private school. He thinks you’re nothing more than a friend, perfect cover for his investigation. But when he finds the evidence and is at the height of his investigation someone steps in: You. Through suggestion and some mysterious power the ones he means to arrest are being punished now. Giving them a taste of their own medicine there is something morbidly attractive about what you do:

Ciel Phantomhive

He already thinks your pretty but he recognizes the sly way you talk

It reminds of Sebastian

But he spends time with you 

as it seems you both have the same goal

But you move on your own

And he watches as you convince these criminals to trust you 

Somehow inflicting them with something befitting of their crime

Your sense of twisted judgment mirrors his perfectly

You also don’t seem all that perturbed when he has those who flirted with you arrested

He often tries to direct you from your targets

But you remained unchanging in your decisions

He just wish you’d include him more

"At the very least give me a warning you decide to be murdered brutally."

SNJ's Summer Fic Reading Masterlist

Hey there. It might be too late and literally putting this on the day that it is due, but I did a Summer Fic Reading Bingo a month ago provided by @ficreadingchallenge

Initially, I wanted to plan it out better by reading fanfic I don't usually go to, each prompt a different fandom, and having a complete blackout. Unfortunately, life got in the way and as I found out, Archive of Our Own is an interesting site to dig around, but it takes time. Some of the prompts were more difficult to find than others and then the ones I did find, it was with a fandom I had no knowledge about or it squicked me out before I could read it.

Perhaps later on my own, I could go back to this and add the ones I didn't get a bingo on. Or I'll do this again next year and get a blackout. But I made sure to at least get one line of bingo. I seemed to misinterpret the free space as a fic of my choice that doesn't fall into the other categories, so you get an extra fic recommendation. Without further ado, here is my masterlist of fics I read during the Summer on AO3:

New Pairing: "Tweaking Your Writings" by gnarleez (Mario+Rabbids) - Explicit, M/M, and No Archive Warnings. A Phandrow smut fic that has me flustered! One of the few nsfw fics that I like.

New Author: "polished" by droppop (Disney Dreamlight Valley) - Gen and No Archive Warnings. A nice scene of Scrooge McDuck taking care of the MC that explores his character.

Space AU: "the captains" by Control_Room (Bendy and the Ink Machine) - Teen and No Archive Warnings. A cool space pirate au with Lacie in pursuit of Captain Bertrum.

Short Fic: "Baa Baa, White Sheep, Why Are You Afraid?" by Spooky_Month_Imbecile (Amanda the Adventurer) - Mature and No Archive Warnings. A great scene of Wooly interacting with the Monster Amanda from the game. Love monster characters interacting!

Sports AU: "Late" by Hawkguys_and_Coffee (Avatar the Last Airbender) - Gen and No Archive Warnings. Cute implied Aang/Katara fic of Aang rushing to be on time.

Mythical Creatures AU: "Shining a light on secrets between them" by aroseandapen (Pokemon Black and White) - Teen, F/F, and No Archive Warnings. A cute Elesa/Skyla fic with surprises!

Angst: "regrets" by numbika (My Friendly Neighborhood) - Teen, Gen, and No Archive Warnings. Read anything from numbika for My Friendly Neighborhood content. Writing is amazing. This fic in particular has great characterization and angst.

New Fandom: "Overwhelmed" by SlushieMachine (Welcome Home) - Gen and No Archive Warnings. A nice Welcome Home fic focusing on autistic experiences. Eddie/Frank. I just love this.

Fic With No Comments Yet: "Improbable Dreams" by Senseless_Scape (Nightmare Before Christmas) - Teen, Graphic Violence, Character Death. An ongoing fic that so far focuses on atmosphere and mystery. Maybe has Coraline elements? Can't wait to read for more updates.

High School/College AU: "Come home tomorrow." by GreenAssCat (The Owl House) - Gen, F/F, No Archive Warnings. A nice Lumity fluff fic in a college setting.

Free Space: "Thank you, Pugsley" by Emroy (Dead End: Paranormal Park) - Gen, No Archive Warnings Apply. A nice little fic about Temeluchus after Season 1, episode 10.

Body Swap: "Freaky (Fifth-Dimensional) Friday" by Mithen (DCU - Comicverse) - Gen, M/M, No Archive Warnings. A fic where Batman and Superman swap bodies by a magic bet and must go through life as the other person. Nice characterization and realization.

Podfic: "Don't feed the plants" written by Beth Harker and read by Static_Whisper (Little Shop of Horrors) - Teen, Gen, Character Death. Warning, this does allude to the current events a few years ago. Basically, it puts man-eating plants within our current world told in a news reporter format.

Long Fic: "A Phantomhive in Night Raven College" by Darkspellmaster (Black Butler/Twisted Wonderland) - Teen, F/M and Gen, No Archive Warnings. An ongoing crossover fic with Ciel Phantomhive from Black Butler as Yuu in Twisted Wonderland. Very unique and blends both fandoms together.

Domestic/Curtain Fic: "Plagg's Cheese Tax" by gacenbgirl (Miraculous Ladybug) - Gen and No Archive Warnings. A short and sweet fic of Plagg telling a story to Marinette and Adrien's kids.

Enjoy!

I got all caught up on Black Butler and sustained emotional damage. What a roller coaster! Snake was one of my favorite characters. I'm so sad! I hope Yana Toboso will add a scene where him and the circus crew are happily together in the afterlife. But I don't know if it'll happen, since they WERE kidnapping children. Sure, they didn't WANT to, but even though they were following orders, they were still doing something that they knew was wrong. Not to mention the guy they were working for was connected to the people who tortured Ciel and his brother.

But Snake wasn't involved!😫 He deserved to live!!!😫😫😭😭😭

I'm 1000% sure they're gonna bring him back as a living corpse. But he might choose to help Ciel out in the end. I'm certain Madame Red and Agni are gonna reappear, too.

Speaking of Ciel and his brother, we still haven't found out his real name. I've been calling him "Not Ciel," but I, for one, wanna know what his name is. They're probably gonna show us when he dies and the Shinigami do their stamp thing. I hope it's not Sirius. I'm not sure how I feel about this whole "bait and switch, he has a twin," storyline to begin with, but I feel like Sirius would be too much in a way.

I bet the Undertaker is not an actual villain. Like the whole Itachi situation. He was giving Ciel some kind of serum in his sleep too, wanna bet it's some kind of medicine or protection of some sort? Or maybe he's preparing to turn him into a living corpse, too? What if Sebastian eats his soul but the boy is still walking around? How would that work? And since the Undertaker was a shinigami, can he actually PREVENT Sebastian from eating his soul?

I feel like the Undertaker may be trying to protect the Phantomhives. Something tells me he was in love with Ciel's father, I just kinda get that vibe, but I could be wrong, though.

I wish Snake didn't die. What's gonna happen to all his snakes now?☹️ And what about Soma? I feel like with the way he's acting, he may end up summoning a demon of his own. But I don't know what would happen if the series went in that direction.

Psych House got axed.😔 But it wrapped up nicely, and wasn't dragged out too long, either. No unnecessary twists and turns, and everything was explained enough. There were no unanswered questions.

Fool ended too, but that had to end, the gags were getting ridiculous. I liked the last chapter a lot, though. Addressed the situation in a gag manga kinda way, tied us back to the beginning, and even managed to make us feel hopeful for the characters. I feel the ending was done well.

Shiba Inu Rooms is getting interesting! I didn't expect Mu to manage to leave the room. With this development, I think it will hold on to the readers' interest, and we'll see it develop longevity because of this. There's so many things that we can explore now with Mu's new situation.

I really like Rugby Rumble. I can't believe I'm reading a sports manga.😂 From the beginning, no less. But I like it. It manages to hold my interest every week and even has me on the edge of my seat at times. I LOVE the artwork, too. Stylish and practical. I also love how the sports games aren't dragged on for super long, sure we have to wait for the next week to see what happens, but the pacing is really good, and it doesn't feel like you waited that long at all. Each chapter manages to be satisfying, too. Of course, there isn't a conclusion in each chapter, but we still get some questions answered, which keeps us satisfied regardless, and it keeps the plot at a really good pace. I'm really happy with Rugby Rumble, I think it's super well done.

I've read a few chapters of Gokuragai. I like it, but you can feel that stale shonen jump formula in it. The artwork is top-notch, a treat to look at, really, and I find myself reading it for just that alone. The characters are all super likable so far. In fact, nothing I've read in it has pushed me away yet. It's just...kinda forgettable since it's so shonen standard. I can see it getting an anime and probably becoming one of the next big three in the future.

I like Ichi the Witch. The art is a little cluttered for me, but I can deal with it. It's from the same writer as Iruma-kun, which I LOVE. No doubt Shueisha saw that success and went to try and get some of it for themselves. I personally want it to do well because I like it, and I want the creator of Iruma-kun to have more success. I want this to become a big three, especially since I read it from the start.😊

Shinobi Undercover is cool. It just came out today. It's likable and fun, and I don't have any complaints yet. I like the dynamic between the boy and the person he's communicating with, really funny, really baka/straight man scenario. The other two who were trying to get close to the girl were laying it on too thick, though. Just really unnatural how they were trying to make it normal, and it was kinda cringe. Also, having an organization PLAN out who your boyfriend and best friend are sounds awful! When she (inevitably) finds out, she's gonna feel like her whole life is a lie(and she already has a hunch)! It's gonna hurt when she finds out the boy is in the organization, too. I feel like this is also a big three contender. I hope the story remains interesting.

Ask and answer question: If Ciel had an older sister, how exactly would you imagine it?

I have made an oc that involves being older sister of Ciel. Originally she was supposed to be 16 when he was 10 but due to parents age gap…I changed it to 16 turning 17 with 13 turning 14 Ciel. I love your Twisted Wonderland/Black Butler verse cause it really helps me imagine more of Ciel’s character in Twisted Wonderland since my OC will also suddenly get to wonderland and me having a better idea of how these Phantomhive’s will more or so react and adjust. Like your fic, this happens after the whole twin shenanigans. I do have some ideas myself, but since your writing is much more detailed and advanced than mine as a minor. I think you could have a better analysis to Ciel’s character having an older sister cause you’ve been doing well writing his character.

I have also read how you have a mild case of tendonitis, (ao3 authors curse to me I’m afraid /j) I hope for you to get better and go back to doing the things you enjoy in that slow process mentioned. Please take your time. And thank you for writing a fic that had always lived in my head rent free as an idea, but into reality written on ao3. It always makes me feel a sense of emotion within every chapter :).

Sorry for this being a while! Life has been really busy for me. My hands are getting better, good luck with your fic!

Oh boy…Okay. So here goes nothing.

If Ciel had an older sister I would think she would be a honest to god mix of the three women in her life. Given that Yana Sensei likes to draw busty women, (Even Francis is shapely just not as much as Anne or some of the other women), I would think that she would have a flattering figure physically, and look more like Vincent or Claudia. Rule one of the characters seems to be "The father's look like the daughters, and the mothers and the sons share looks" and it's proven to be true in a lot of ways. Lizzie looks more like Alexis. Big bright eyes, rounder features. Where as Edward looks like his mother, more angled smaller eyes.

So the sister would have to be more of a physical resemblence to Vincent. Sharper looks, slightly narrowed. Her hair would be Vincents and I could see her wearing Rachel's style with braided bun in the back. Her eyes would probably be more akin to Vincent's as well but have her mother's cunning. Dress wise, I can see her mixing the three womens styles, with some vibrant colors from Aunt Ann in there, and more delicate colors from her mother.

Personality wise…Oh lord. Okay so from her mother she would have Rachel's teasing personality. She would normally play little tricks on her brothers, but also be kind to to them, espeically O!Ciel. I don't thik she would have her mother's ailment, but she might have some breathing problems. I can see it being allergies. She would have her mothers eyes, like her youngest brother. She could displine others just as strongly as her mother. From Anne, she could gain an understanding of how to flirt, but rejects Ann's veiw of the English Rose. She'd be wary of her Aunt's affections as she probably would notice that Ann still loved her father, and so would tend to be closer to Francis. She'd learn from Francis how to be a leader, someone who stood up for the right thing. Given that I think Francis was trained by her mother, she would become a sword figher, and a shooter thanks to her father, along with being a good hunter like her Aunt.

From her father, she would learn cunning, trickery, loyalty and love. She would be someone I could see devoting herself to her family whole heartedly and doing everything to protect them. From Dee she'd learn diplomatics, to cook, and other matters. I can easily see her being proud of her little brothers and always playing with Sebastian the dog. Edward and her have a good relationship and, as with Lizzie and R!Ciel (and O!Ciel) she would be his bethroded, since knowing Vincent he would want his daughter to be able to be close to her siblings, as well as be with someone he trusts. Vincent would have taught her the same way he taught the boys, though, I'm not sure if she would be the one to be the watchdog. Though I could see him training her just incase something happened to either of her brothers. She would probaby agree with her father about leaving the watchdog title should R!Ciel be unable to do the job and O!Ciel is forced to take it over. Though I can also see a situation where she could take it on in their stead.

Her relationship with the boys would be close. She would want O!Ciel to become the toy maker and scold R!Ciel for his comments to Lizzie. I can see her enjoying dresses and the like with Lizzie and the two playing together. With Edward she would play cricket with him and be as good as her Aunt was. I can see when they get scared or worried they come to her. She'd be tutored at home as they were, though I suspect he might have her either study at either a day school or at a girls boarding school. Though I suspect, like Lizzie, it would be more home schooling. If she was away I think that might be what could have saved her life. However if she was home, then she might have been injured and either sold like the twins, or found by Anne. Either way, I suspect she would have trauma from the situation. She would probably realize the difference between the twins and aid her brother in getting revenge, and also be a thorn in the side of Sebastian, since she wouldn't allow for anyone to harm her brother.

I think she would be a bit less naieve than O!Ciel is at times, but also I suspect she would try to get him back to that innocent boy and not want him to stain his hands. I highly suspect that with a sister there, there would be different outcomes. Would be an interesting relationship with Soma given they'd be friendly, and she would be close with the servants as well.

Not sure whatelse to add. T_T

But thank you for so many compliments.

here’s a couple of them !! (tbh there’s more but i tried to stay specific to the abusive ones)

actually have something fucked up going on:

(besides abuse, duh, # cw for animal cruelty, misgendering, and sa mention)

(r) billy and stu — manipulative fucks, just complete assholes, honestly. they’re both terrible in their own ways, though stu very much more openly, billy appears kinder, but i think he’s quicker to anger— not necessarily to violence, that’s stu, but he has a short fuse. he’ll get bitter very easily. does the whole silent treatment. both are heavy on the emotional abuse, especially when it comes to isolatation and control.

grabbing my wrist too roughly, refusing to let me go, twisting my arm, probably ‘jokingly’ choking me (thanks, stu) has happened countless times. stu was really rough with me as kids too— ‘just a normal mean boy bullying his little sister’s friend’ — as if he was wasn’t torturing neighborhood strays before dinner time.

speaking of which, as much i would love love my f/os to be accepting of my identity. these two would definitely be a little odd about it, for different reasons.

stu, he gets it, and honestly he doesn’t care what i am, he’s already cemented in his mind that i belong to him. but he still views me as a weak little girl (he says it too, sometimes, but he’ll stop if billy tells him). most definitely has said something about me not being an actual boy. got scolded by sid and tatum after. can also be mean about my weight. (thanks, 90s)

billy doesn’t really like the idea, but he’ll refer to me how i like. he’s not necessarily against it, but because he already has romantic feelings for one guy— but another one? with his fucked up view of masculinity and women, and complicated relationship with his sexuality? gg.

(r) gene — in short bc i don’t wanna elaborate on gene; he’s a bully + physical abuse (prior to relationship he was very aggressive) + power imbalance + age gap between minor / adult (began dating 14/17) + sa

(f) kai chisaki/overhaul: — just straight up psychological abuse. kai doesn’t hit, no, he can just use his quirk if i step out of line. he’s only done it twice, though. kai was very controlling though, and he definitely used hurting eri against me, (not that he wasn’t already hurting her), as well as just, killing his underlings. (think of what he says to eri, essentially). definitely uses the fact that i still love him to his advantage, he knows what he’s doing.

after attempting to help eri escape he just . locked me in a room lol. my bedroom didn’t have a door for a solid couple of months. it would just be a wall, and if he needed me he would open it up. otherwise i would just be by his side constantly or with kurono. also skewed my perception of heroes.

bless him he completely ruined two perfectly okay kids.

(r) tate — killed me. any questions.

still messed up, but less so:

(f) akito sohma — they got a heavy codependency thing goin’ on. akito doesn’t really physically harm me like the other sohmas but ohh if she didn’t play the guilt trip card like hell as she got older (if she ever felt like she could lose someone, basically).

bonus ! problematic bc fandom decreed it or whatever:

(r) ciel phantomhive — idk he’s canonically like 13 and i age him up, seems to be enough to get people mad

(r) varian — i don’t know actually. probably has something to do with him being 14 at the beginning though

(r) number five — he’s a doozy because he’s mentally like 50 but in the body of a 13 year old

wait im curious

if your selfship is problematic, reblog this and put in the tags how so.

specifically if it is abusive: who is the abuser? you/your oc or your f/o? and what kinds of abuse are most prevalent in your ship?

proship/neutral only
