#kuroshitsuji musical ii

[funnypansexualanimorph]

oh no... The Kuro Musical is sucking me back in...

[natsuki208]

If Black Butler season 2 got a musical adaptation! 🎶

• First, I think the name would be similar to the Trancy OVA - ‘The Thread of the Spider’s Story’ or similar to that.

• Alois should be played by a female and have his own upbeat introduction solo, only later to get a sad reprise during his death.

• But before that, a small duet during his duel with Ciel.

• Alongside Sebastian having a sinister duet with Claude.

• Hannah singing a beautiful, tragic ballad about her past with Luka and how she cares for Alois.

• I’ll admit… I would love to see the triplets as background dancers. ^^

⚠️I personally think kuroshitsuji season 2 is a mess, the plot doesn’t make sense. But all the characters are innocent🥲

This post is about a possible sbcl situation after S2 ending, a Ciel&Cerberus Adventures headcanon/paro (Idk, somehow it’s both

I read the sbcl fanbook by @tapuy on X and it makes me consider what could happen after season II… I mean it feels quite depressing at the beginning because how it’s portrayed but when I realize Ciel has become an immortal impious boy who could do whatever he want for all eternity,, I stopped depressing(??( also I learned that Seb keeps a hell hound called Cerberus at his hell home so Ciel could just take it to adventures like Tin Tin (it’s just that Ciel is rid of the burden of revenge and all the soul swappy bullshit, he deserves some decent childhood shenanigans (good taste tho) for him to contribute to this miserable eternity of a world(???) I’m thinking about Tom Sawyer, Nils Holgersson, and Peter Pan (I secretly want to see Ciel set sail and go pirate treasure hunting🤲)

Ciel would just be going on hunt for souls(he needs to eat and wants to have some fun scavenging tasty (I’d even say souls of sweetness, since he’s demon sense of taste is no longer for human desserts) souls; and in a early Q&A Ciel emphasized in boldface that he hates unsavory food, so I’d say he could be considering what to do about it after he’s turned into a demon.

One might ask what is Seb doing in hell, leaving his master running wild outside with the hell hound… I just think that they need some time apart to kind of let the awkwardness (I literally don’t know how to put it, but I think having Seb serving invisible tea for Ciel in a hell mansion for all eternity is just misuse of immortality) of S2 to fade away and think about this new situation thru(???). Seb would need some time to reflect his past two seasons and probably revise his butler aesthetics for future practical purposes. Plus Seb could finally keep cats now cuz I believe Ciel wouldn’t mind letting him. If Ciel and Cerberus gets into real trouble like grim reapers, Ciel can summon Seb to get them outta there. But I think they just have such different tastes in food that Ciel would disagree with Seb’s insistence on how to season souls or whatnot but experiment on his own. I’d be curious to see if they’d be making more contracts to humans. I believe Ciel would allow Seb to do so as long as their master-servant contract is not violated; also Ciel hasn’t had enough of his crime-fighting morally gray life (??) he could use that past work experience to sort out souls that he would want to consume, and live among men and experience more (he is too young to be a permanent dweller of hell, let him travel…)

I think after years, decades Ciel and Seb can get back to live and hunt for souls together once they adapt to this new change in identity and power dynamics. Ciel is now his permanent responsibility and Seb needs to get use to it since he’s so cynical about souls and all, but they’ll figure out. While he takes his time brooding with cats in his hell mansion with an inferno view, let Ciel go have a wild adventure as a young demon and pick how he’d like to be for the rest of eternity…and fulfill his childhood wishes(like adventures, amusement parks, all the interesting festivals around the world…) since he’s no longer a vulnerable child but can defend himself as a demon and accompanied by a powerful pet.

I just think keeping a little animal sidekick around for Ciel would be so cute…and Cerberus is like, gets eepy listening to music and loves pancakes while being a flesh and soul consuming monster… it’s just any boy’s dream mythical pet…let Ciel own this!!!

That’s it, I hope you enjoyed reading this!!

I was today years old when I learned.... Grell is a girl??? I was a pretty big fan of Black Butler back in the day, I'm very surprised I never picked up on this

Yeah! Grell is generally considered to be a trans woman. As I understand, it becomes clearer later on in the manga (I am not caught up, so I can't speak to that, unfortunately), but even if you look at her earlier appearances, there's a lot that points to that.

For a long time when I started in the Black Butler fandom I was in the whole "Grell isn't a guy or a girl, Grell is a Grell" camp and I used male pronouns for her, but at some point I realized that whatever the specifics of her identity, she has made it clear multiple times in canon that she wants to be referred to by feminine terms, including correcting other characters (her very first line in one of the musicals is "you mean her" in response to Will referring to her as "him"), and I'm very much about respecting people's pronouns, even if I don't fully understand why they've chosen them. And then once I realized that, I started going back and noticing other things, like how she talks about wishing she could get pregnant, and thinking "how many gay guys, however flamboyant, actually want a uterus?" And now I tend to think of her as a trans woman, or possibly nonbinary fem.

There's also a character "interview" in the Kuroshitsuji Character Guide where she states "the thing I want most right now is to have a sex change" and adds, "I'm serious you know?" In the same interview, she also addresses how she uses feminine language to refer to herself ("Isn't that to be expected? I'm a lady!") and says when she was pretending to be Madam Red's butler, she always felt depressed going outside presenting masculine. As I understand it, the interview is technically non-canon (basically the same sort of thing as the "behind-the-scenes" OVA The Making of Kuroshitsuji II), which makes some people say it should be considered to be tongue-in-cheek (especially as Grell is mostly used as a comic character), but to me it reads very genuine.

There's a lot more to be said about Grell and gender, these are just the points that stood out most to me personally. Anyways, short version is that yes, Grell is (probably) a girl.

Lost in Translation & That actor, Influential II

Now that the chance had arisen to talk about Sebastianese, or ‘keigo’, I wish to make another post on what may have been lost in translation, while using this opportunity to make a sequence for ‘that actor, influential’.

1. Inconsistency in Body and Words

‘Keigo’ is formal language, but it is not restricted to just the spoken words. In Japanese, not only is it imperative that the speaker chooses their words carefully, but also that the body language is appropriately formal. This includes properly timed bowing, nodding, and other such gestures.

In chapter 138 wherein we see newborn “Sebastian Michaelis” in his full glory for the first time, he already speaks in impeccable ‘keigo’. While his command of the vocabulary part of ‘keigo’ is flawless, his body-language leaves a lot to be desired.

I don’t know whether this is universal, but in the very least in Japanese society, crossing one’s legs is considered rather impolite, and unacceptable even in formal settings. It goes without saying then that butlers should never display themselves with legs crossed.

The first time we see any Sebastian with legs crossed was in ‘Tango on the Campania’ on January 31st, 2017. Few months later Yana admitted that she was beaten by the punch with Yunbastian’s mighty arrogant way of sitting down, first seen in the manga on March 18th, 2018.

2. Drawing Attention by Comparison

Additionally, I wish to point out that chapter 138 did not display so much of Sebas’ legs just because they are drop-dead-gorgeous.

The panels serve as visual, comparative narratives wherein we see a well-educated though still somewhat demure kid, versus an uneducated and mighty arrogant demon. Herein, O!Ciel’s straight back and legs represent his educated background, while Sebastian’s casual posture represents the raw demon he is still; one who is yet to be educated by his master.

3. Tone

Not only did Yunbastian predict Sebas’ unpolished mannerisms, he might also have inspired Yana on the demon’s tone.

人間の欲望には際限がありませんからねぇ

Ningen no yokubou ni wa saigen ga arimasen kara neé~

There is no limit to the greed of humans, [now, is there? lol]

あまり良い選択とは思えませんがねぇ

Amari ii sentaku to wa omoemasen ga neé~

I cannot think of it as a very good choice, [now, wouldn’t  you agree? lol]

In ‘keigo’, it is best to leave out linguistic fillers or similar redundant trails and sounds (e.g. “erm...” or “right?”). At the very beginning of the contract, on top of committing the body-language taboo, Sebas also made the mistake of trailing his words; a mistake he never makes again later in the contract!

By trailing the neutral ‘ne’ into ‘neé~’, in practice it makes the speaker sound sarcastic. An English equivalent would be like an emphasised polite word: “Oh, so sorry, madam!”

When tone of voice and body-language are inconsistent with the hyper-formality of ‘keigo’, it is considered even ruder than someone who just speaks in casual language. This inconsistency would be considered an attitude where the speaker knows they should be respecting the listener, but does not feel like the person deserves the respect. Instead, all there will be left of the politeness in the words is an attempt to show-off just how highly educated the speaker is. (The potential irony of ‘keigo’ is discussed in this post as well.)

This same type of ironic impudence is likewise first to be seen in Yunbastian, where he says “as you wish” with an unacceptable tone and speed, while smacking the plate down before his master.

4. Facial Expression

Obviously, facial expression is part of body-language as well. We see in the same chapter how Sebas uses hyper formality in language, while the rest of his face is screaming: “I am so much better than you, peasant.”

貴方に危害を加えた人間を残らず抹殺して参ります

I shall [humbly] proceed to obliterate the ones who have harmed you.

よくお気付きになりましたね

You did well in [nobly] taking [noble] notice.

O!Ciel I don’t know how you trained your demon pet, but dayum, I take off my hat for you.

♡ FILMS FOR FAUNLET FASHION INSPO ♡

~~Got bored so compiled this (pretty extensive) list of film references for faunlet style and aesthetics, might be helpful for anyone looking to delve into and develop their style. Don't take this as some kind of gospel, it's just a bunch of movies and shows that I think can be useful reference points. My personal style and taste for example is a huge mix and amalgalm of stuff I see, from movie characters to paintings, books, comics, cartoons, music videos, haute couture collections, K- and J-idols, BJD dolls, even elements and staples from female fashion that I kind of genderflip or just outright mix into and merge with my own "masculine"/boyish/whatever faunlet fits. I think the secret to finding your style is to never limit yourself & always be creative (& clever ofc)! ♡

Feel free to suggest and tell me some of your personal films/shows that inspire you the most. I'm sure I forgot some stuff >.> Hope this helps somewhat lolol

I’ll let the demon hear my sins.

KME Tarot Bingo: The Hanged Man (Surrender, letting go, new perspective)

In a desolated castle outside of Prague, whilst the whole country was on the brink of the Velvet Revolution, two figures were lurking in the shadows. The light coming from the television was the only source that illuminated their faces.

“Do you think they are ready for us again?” Sebastian arched his left eyebrow. He faced the boy, who would never age. He would be more than a hundred years old if he were still human. Ciel declared himself “dead” to live a new chapter of his life. He and Sebastian went on to see the world between heaven and hell.

“I’ve been a demon all my life, Ciel. It is not hard work to be with humans and move the same way like them. I am a living proof.” Sebastian replied, albeit condescendingly.

Who could forget that fateful day when Alois Trancy denied the demon butler’s intention to devour Ciel’s soul? And irony of ironies, Ciel got what he wanted, the killers of his parents were dead, but it meant he also couldn’t die. Most of all, he and Sebastian were inseparable.

“Perhaps, it is time to face the music once again?” Sebastian suggested, a bit irritated.

“I am missing Bard. Let’s go to the Americas and stay there for a while. And be rock stars.” Ciel smirked.

“Surely, this is not one of those whims of yours.” The butler stayed glued to the TV, watching what was happening on the streets of the Czech capital.

“It is getting noisy in this part of town.”

“Noisy?” Sebastian chuckled. “Very well. As you wish,” Sebastian bowed down to Ciel. It was a habit he couldn’t help doing sometimes.
