FUCK ALEX AND HIS REGICIDAL TENDENCIES FOR A MOMENT LOOK AT WHAT EOIN POSTED

WHY IS HE WITH RUPERT AND TOMIWA????

(Leon and Elyan for the sane people without brainrot)

[buttercupyellow]

BBC Merlin the Knights ages

So I've done Merlin, Arthur, Morgana and Gwen's ages and birthdays, so now its the knights turn.

basically we have nothing to go on so this is all completely made up but lets try and apply some logic here.

Lancelot = Santiago Cabrera = 30 at time of S1 Release (appears)

Leon = Rupert Young = 30 at time of S1 Release (does not appear)

Gwaine = Eoin Macken = 25 at time of S1 Release (does not appear)

Elyan = Tomiwa Edun = 24 at time of S1 Release (does not appear)

Percival = Tom Hopper = 23 at time of S1 Release (does not appear)

Lancelot

I don't think Lancelot is 30, considering Gwen's his love interest and I've put her closer to 18. He's also very idealistic, naive and inexperienced.

I think he's younger than Arthur, based on how they interact esp in 1x05. So I'd put him between 18 - 21, maybe 20 to give him a bit of an older brother vibe (if you like) with the 16 yro Merlin without it being weird with Gwen.

Leon

Leon being 30 also feels a tad too old, but not the extreme that Lancelot is. Leon comes across as older, wiser and more experienced. He advises Arthur on his knights and his strategies, which I feel only an experienced knight would be able to do.

Leon seems more likely to be 24 - 25. Older than Arthur by 5 - 6 years, so he can be knighted earlier than Arthur and have that seniority.

Gwaine

25 feels just a mite too old for 20 yro arthur and 16 yro Merlin. esp. since he's closer to Merlin. It's also a little strange for a 27yro to hit on a 21 yro unless we are going for historical accuracy, which we're not.

I think he's younger than Leon at least, maybe older than Lancelot. He's more experienced than Arthur, but with a worse impulse control, so he kind of levels out as a similar age to Arthur. Maybe 20 - 22. Roughly Morgana's age.

Elyan

Elyan has Gwen as a reference. He says she basically raised him but this might simply refer to her becoming the woman of the house in the absence of their mother. This is done in multiple other stories like A:tLA with Sokka and Katara, so it's not too out of the box.

Angel Coulby is older than Tomiwa Edun (about 4 years) but considering Gwen's age in the show (to match her crush on the younger Merlin) it's not unrealistic for him to be older. but a 6 year age gap with Gwen feels a bit big, especially when looking at his actions in 4x10 with Gwaine.

Again, I think he's roughly Arthur's and Morgana's age, at around 21 - 22. Making him about 3 - 4 years older than Gwen.

Percival

Percival really does read as fairly young. He's hesitant and not great at communicating or speaking up. He also has very little backstory or development so he's free space.

I think he's closer to Merlin in age. Maybe 16 - 17 as of S1. Making him about 20 - 21 when we first meet him in S3.

Bonus Mordred

for Mordred I basically follow Asa Butterfield's age, and ignor Alexander Vlahos' age.

Alexander Vlahos = 20 as of S1/24 as of S5

Asa Butterfield = 11 as of S1

There's bout 9 years between S1 and S5, so that would make Mordred 20 when he becomes a knight.

-

So as of beginning of S1: Lancelot, 20. Leon, 25. Gwaine, 21. Elyan, 21. Percival, 17. Mordred, 11.

As of beginning of S5: Lancelot, 29. Leon, 34. Gwaine, 30. Elyan, 30. Percival, 26. Mordred, 20.

Black Butler II: Alois Trancy —Aesthetic

Earl Alois Trancy's Character & Personality

Alois is the earl and head of the Trancy household. His real name is Jim Macken. Alois changed his name after being adopted by the former Count Trancy. Since the Countess Trancy committed suicide upon their only son going missing, Alois became the soul heir. In the underworld, the Trancy household is a secret executive agency controlled by the Queen, in which the current head is the Queen's Spider. Thus, it's Alois' duty to destroy all the Queen's distresses in the underworld. The Spider either erases people's pasts or replaces them with false memories to cover up crimes. In spite of his hardships, Alois has an effervescent and cheerful disposition. However, his emotions are quite unpredictable and suspicious. Alois will fluctuate from enthusiastic and hyperactive to angry and cantankerous. He also loses interest in things fairly quickly. Alois often uses harsh and impolite language, like swearing, regardless of whom he's speaking to. Beyond this, he's attached and dependent on his butler, whose attention he's frequently trying to attract. Alois' extreme need for affection and acknowledgment is the result of having no parental figures in his life. Although his harsh temper has always been present, his sadistic streak, bizarre promiscuity and crude language stem from sexual abuse. Alois enjoys the authority of being an aristocratic noble. He utilizes his power in a deliberately vicious, barbarous, sadistic and contemptuous manner. In order to feel dominant, Alois abuses others by making them feel uncomfortable and inferior.

What is Andis, Salix, and Ren's speech like? Do they have distinct accents? Or any other notable ways of speaking, like using particular phrases, slang, or terms of endearment? Bonus question: What do their voices sound like?

Thank you so much for the ask!!!

Andis has a pretty casual way of speaking I think. He's not particularly formal but he can be very verbose, I think he stumbles over words and has to backtrack ("Wri-- wrote-- WRITTEN, yes, that." or "And the... What's the word. The thingy.") relatively often. I don't think he has much of a notable accent. He snaps his fingers a lot when he's figuring out what in particular to say but generally it's brain -> speech with not a lot of filtration. Dunno what I'd call his voice but I know he's been on Magic T for several years. He's affectionate with his nicknames, he calls people love or friend very often. Honey is usually reserved for passive aggressiveness or concern, in equal measure.

Salix's speech is very posh and dignified, she was raised a lady of the court and it shows. Most of what she says is something she's previously thought about, I think she tends to rehearse conversations a lot. Every interaction is a game of chess and baby she's gonna win. She has a very sharp tone, the best way I'd describe her is acerbic. As she loosens up over the course of the adventure she uses more casual speech but a lot of her courtly mannerisms stay. I imagine her having a similar voice and accent to Morgana in BBC Merlin (played by Katie McGrath but I know she does a different accent for that specific role). Or perhaps Idina Menzel. She doesn't use pet names unless she means it.

Ren doesn't talk much, and when they do it's often formal and as concise as possible. One-word answers or short questions, always. Multiple full sentences, almost never. They're not excessively verbose and certainly didn't swallow the same thesaurus Gale did. They are a very good listener, though - they basically talk like the player character dialogue options. Before speaking they tend to pause and think about the best way to phrase things rather than spewing their consciousness into dialogue. They don't really use pet names often. I don't have a voice claim for them yet but I imagine they're an alto.

You didn't ask about Monty (because he didn't exist at the time of sending the ask lmao) but I'm putting him here anyway-- he talks like a cowboy. He has a recognizably American Southern accent, though it's not super strong. Sugar is his go-to pet name for most people, but when he really means it it's angel or love. His speech kind of feels like he's always in motion, if that makes sense? Like a bit out of breath, a bit flippant, a bit like he's holding his words in the back of his throat. He's kind of a whore also. (e.g. "Well sure, sugar, if you're interested", "Ah, well, ain't that a shame.") If I HAD to voice claim him it would be Eoin Macken probably, something smooth and drawling. Fittingly draconic.

i want you to know that 'Fools by Heavenly Compulsion' is the only thing keeping me from a finals-induced breakdown. it's so brilliant the way i can literally hear their conversations and it's a testament to how much you just get them. they're both idiots of astronomical proportions and i wouldn't have it any other way. without morgana they'd be toast, thank god the others have brain cells. also arthur braving speaking to his father for a noble cause is just so heartbreaking - he's just so good i can't. i finished the first two chapters two days ago and i'm still giggling over it. i cannot wait to see more of our two fools!!

I'm glad their stupidity is keeping you sane(ish) in your time of need. I actually should have the next chapter up later tonight.

And it's actually been a lot of fun; I thought it would be an interesting challenge telling a story without having a traditional narrative to lean on, and figuring out how to show events and feelings without being able to actually narrate them word for word as they're happening. Also, Eoin Macken is out there doing the Lord's work and giving me plenty of shirtless material for Gwaine's fake social media.

Summary of Session 7/19/2024

The trio met up for lunch and discussed their option. They met at a place called The Bull's Hooves and, after not so discreet talking between Mavi and Boris, the waitress figured out that Boris was a vampire and got him what he needed. She claimed they were used to serving his 'bugbear' kind here.

Ten told Mavi that Tyr, the god of justice, said that Ten was not being just and that Mavi was right. Throughout them trying to figure out what to do, they kept claiming Mavi was not captain while Boris tried to claim captain but Ten refused to let a vampire be captain. They settled on Ten is only being allowed to kill if Mavi, Rome, or Bruno.

They decided to split up with Mavi continuing Rowan's plan, Ten trying to become part of Lord Lancaster's person guard, and Boris going to guard training.

Boris spends the first day proving his prowess and impresses one of the guards who agrees to give Boris a floor plan of where they will be defending. Boris manages to not alert any guards to his condition and even buddies the one who got him a map. When Boris examines the map that night, after shopping around for some gadgets to see through walls and floors, he sees that the guard had marked secret entrances and exits that he knew of and marked where potential ones could be.

Ten looked for ways to get close to Lady Angelica Lancaster and he managed to. First, he paid a fortune teller to tell the Lady a real then fake fortune, to which they agreed. When they spotted the poorly disguised woman, they told her fortune: "By a week's time, your world will fall and sleep. Your beauty preserved, grace untouched, but you will wake in time with true love's touch." along with the premade one: "To ensure your fate remains true, a friend will come and guard your soon." Ten then 'bumps' into the woman and through a short conversation, she hires him to be her non-lethal bodyguard. Ten walks with her to the brothel where she visits Opal and the pimp alerts Mavi. When Mavi arrives to the brothel, she and Ten exchange annoyances at each other before Ten alerts the prostitute and Lady Angelica there is a visitor. Lady Angelica soon leaves with Ten and we will return to Mavi in a moment. Ten follows Lady Angelica to the manor where she invites him and he follows her all the way to her father's study where she introduces him as her suitor. After playing the part, they leave to her room where they discuss what she just did. Angelica is pretending Ten is Crowned Prince Havenlight with 12 siblings from Bavoria, pretending he is her suitor till she can run from Westgate with her girlfriend Opal. Ten, understanding that her father is a scumbag, agrees to play the part since it gets him into the manor he wanted to get into. So he goes to bed.

During this time, Mavi has continued her investigation. She visits Dani Peri who steals ten gold off her and Dani had been told it was to be a fire bomb and collected parts for it. He was caught stealing things from the guards to be used for the bomb, was considered a liability, and kicked. He definitely thinks Puile did it. Mavi then visits Opal after hearing the message that Lady Angelica had arrived and while they did speak, not much was revealed besides Opal planning to run away with Lady Angelica before week's end. She then visits Puile Macken who is beaten up, broken, and begging. He claims he didn't do it because by the time he was released from being tortured, they had already had a mole problem. He says Dani most certainly did it. Puile caught him stealing from the guards and heard him mention it was for a project before darting away. Because of that, Puile had been captured by the guards and tortured for information for a week before release. Puile did not give up any information. But they came back to the Janus and was kicked out on suspicion. Puile says he can bring proof in exchange for medical care to which Mavi agrees.

This night, Boris was not allowed back into the original inn because he had broken the door. So he and Mavi met up at a new place and spoke to Ten via Sending Stone. Ten had caught listening magic in his room so he spoke in the bathroom and exchange information.

The next day, Ten was given time to train and to get a tailored suit for the upcoming gala. He learned that Lord Lancaster was a cruel and evil person, sending suitor after suitor at his daughter to force her to one day marry and bear him a son. His own wife had had multiple miscarriages and only was able to bear one daughter who could not possibly inherit his wealth. People were hoping Crowned Prince Ten would be different since Angelica picked him. Angelica asked to meet Ten in the kitchens where he and Boris ran into each other but pretended not to know each other. Angelica led Ten, who became invisible, to a horrid room. A prison choked-full of magically inclined people behind a horrible contraption that would tear out people's vocal cords to use to fuel the Shadow Weave aura in the room. There was blood and bodies everywhere. The Shadow Weave aura sucked in all magic, save for ones used by Ten and Boris. Ten and Angelica managed to leave without issue, each going separate ways.

Boris returned back for training and was given a tour of the grounds where he ran into Ten in the kitchen. What he found interesting though was that his glasses, that allowed him to him to see the next room, did not peer into the Shadow Weave room. He continued the tour, finding the marked secret entrances and looked for the others, before ending up back outside. Boris was about to leave when his buddy guard asked him if everything turned out okay, if he needed anything, before excusing himself and started to walk off the grounds. Boris followed in bat form.

Mavi, during this time, visited Klore Nikl, a broken seer, in the Fortuneboon Hall of Tymora. Mavi snuck up on the praying, dirtied priestess and looked through her bag, taking it. She then got Klore's attention who panicked where she saw the bag was missing. Klore said that the crossbow in there, a True Hitting Crossbow, is for Mavi, for her. Mavi was taken aback but took the crossbow and bolts, having noticed a worn out prophecy occult book and a well-kept book on Tymora. They spoke for a few minutes, Mavi coming to realize that Rowan was sending her on this goose chase to find the moles to make her in charge of who lives and who dies. Klore says she had a vision of a horrible fire and wanted to stop it but seemingly just made it worse. She tells Mavi that whatever happens, she knew Mavi needed that crossbow and that Lancaster was code not for Lord Marcus but Rowan himself. Lord Marcus never planned to bomb anyone, Rowan did. Rowan had locked her in a room so he could use her prophecy skills. Mavi decided to change her plan from helping Rowan to creating a rebellion. She visited Opal and garnered her alliance before moving onto meeting Sera again. After a brief talk, Mavi was able to convince Sera to give up her dumb crush and to never go back to Rowan. Asking for protection, Sera agreed.

*slamming pots and pans together* EHY MERLIN FANDOM I THINK I'VE GOT SOMETHING!!!! I THINK I JUST FIGURED SOMETHING OUT

(or most likely I didn't, but wouldn't it be cool if I did?)

So as @regulusrules shared in a post 3 days ago, Eoin is Up To Something. Which might or might not be related to Merlin. He is visiting Ireland, posting about a new project he was working on...

So I've been stalking his page ever since. Today he shared a story, reposted from Adam Weafer's account (private)

At first, I did not pay much mind to it until I saw the caption at the bottom saying "Where's Waldo", which to me sounded very much like a challenge. So I found him.

I noticed the huge advertisement for a shop called "make blink" there on the left, so I looked for it on Google and found out that there is only one "make blink" in the world, and is located in Dublin. I also noticed in the photo that there is a Subway on the right and so I looked for it on maps just to make sure and...

Seems close enough. But just to show you this is the right place...

Either way, this is actually quite useless information even if quite creepy on my part...

That is what I WOULD say if I didn't look for more information which is exactly what I did and I didn't have to look for long. 10 minutes by foot from the (X) location I found...

The Dublin Castle. Which, FYI, looks like this

So what does this tell us???

Nothing. It's all probably just a coincidence and this was just something creepy for me to do. Either way, I found that interesting. And if it is actually related to Merlin, well... that's cool, I guess.

Name: Jim Macken Alois Trancy

Series: Black Butler

Continuity: Manga

Age: 14

Height: 5'5"

Birthday: November 5th 1875

Birthplace: England

Orientation: Homosexual

Species: Human

Occupation: Earl to the Trancy estate

Father: Unnamed (deceased)

Mother: unnamed (deceased)

Sibling(s): Luka Macken (deceased)

Bio:

TRIGGER WARNING: CSA AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING

Alois Trancy was actually born to the previous Earl of Trancy and his wife, but was kidnapped as a newborn by disgruntled servants who raised him in poor conditions in a small village where they would have their own son a few years later, named Luka. Alois and Luka were very close as children, where he promised their dying parents that he would look after him as they died of illness.

Ever since they had become orphans, the village treated them as filth. This led the boys to resulting to stealing just to get by, often taking people's valuables to resell them in pawn shops or stealing food when it was avaliable to them. As punishment for stealing, Alois and his brother were often beaten and spat on by the villagers, which caused him to develop a deep hatred for everyone but his brother.

One particular evening, Alois said he wished everyone in the village would just die, where his brother promised him that his dream would come true someday. That wish did come true, everyone mysterious dropped dead without even a scream, except Luka had also mysteriously died. It sounds strange, but it was as if Luka in particular had his very soul ripped out of him.

Completely emotionally limp from losing the only person he genuinely cared for, Alois wandered around until he was found by a home for boys that took him in. That is, until he and all the other boys were "adopted" by the Earl of Trancy. The claim on the outside was that he was searching for his missing son but the truth? The Earl of Trancy was a disgusting man who wanted to defile innocent boys.

Alois was one of these boys, abused in every way possible by the Earl of Trancy in particular for having "filthy eyes". At this point, he was just a shell until he heard another boy in the cellar with him speak of a fairy that granted wishes in the forest. Curious, Alois asked him this very tale.

snuck out in the very early morning to perform this ritual, summoning a spider demon he would later name as Claude Faustus. Even though he didn't have a contract at first, Claude only told him he would accept one if it was something Alois was truly ambitious about, otherwise, he didn't see a point in allowing one.

Knowing what his wish was after he summoned him, Alois wanted revenge for the death of his little brother. He wants to know who killed him and to give them a death worse than anything on earth by his hands alone. Yet Alois knew he couldn't do this unless he rose higher in the ranks of the Earl of Trancy's "favorite" boys, so he learned to seduce him to become his "favorite".

His favortism was so high that he would announce to the British press and the queen that he "found" his son, which his brother didn't believe for a moment, but the street urchin going by Jim Macken had become Alois Trancy. When the Earl of Trancy had finally died, Alois released the other boys held up in the cells and currently begins his quest to find who killed his brother as he works as The Queen's Spider.

The Queen's Spider's job is to silence and clean up evidence left behind by the Guard Dog as to make sure none of it reflects badly on the Queen. A noble was trafficking children? It was Alois and Claude's job to pay the press and premanently silence accomplices exposed.

Alois Trancy is an extremely outgoing and charismatic boy, but once you get to know him, his instability begins to show. He has mood swings, he's childish and he has an extremely fowl tongue in private. In particular, due to his upbringing, Alois has a particularly deep hatred for maids and old men. Maids are due to the complacency of the Trancy staff before Claude and old men in particular make Alois sick to his stomach. Yet he has good in him, particularly his charm as a boy who had to learn to enchant everyone around him.

Okay so it is currently late as hell, and I've decided to share a bit of a theory and observation with you guys since it just came to my mind...

Now we all know that Toboso has already revealed the twin theory being true a very long time ago, right?

Well... What if I told you that it was also hinted in numerous different ways? I mean sure, we've gotten hints and we've had things get pointed out by people who have made theories speculating that Ciel had a twin, and we've also gotten hints within the manga of course... But what if Toboso was also hinting Ciel having a twin within the anime this entire time? I mean don't get me wrong, we already got hints within Book of Circus as well:

But what if Book Of Circus wasn't the only season that gave us hints? Allow for me to explain.

Now you remember within season I and Episode 16 of Black Butler it revolved around the two brothers Edward V and his little brother Richard, and how they both were killed in cold blood:

Which of course the tragedy between the brothers is based off of a true story:

Now even though episode 16 isn't even canon as well as the rest of the episodes that followed soon after (episode 17-24) Why was the tragic story of the two of these brothers chosen to be an episode in the first place? Now allow for me to point something else out...

Season II of Black Butler (which we all know isn't canon, either) also speaks of a tragedy of two brothers as well--Aka Alois (Jim Macken) and Luka:

Alois had lost his brother Luka (due to Luka making a deal with Hannah and Hannah devouring Luka's soul as well):

And sure we know that season II and episodes 16-24 of season I weren't canon at all, and were all just filler, but what if they were perhaps used to give us hints about Ciel having a twin...? I mean as odd as it may sound, you also gotta admit they're all quite similar in a way. and speaking of similarities let's not forget 'the brother grieving the death of the other brother pattern' as I call it...For example: for season I episode 16, the elder brother Edward V was unable to protect his younger brother Richard, and had to watch as he died in front of him:

Season II of Black Butler shows us Alois being the elder brother grieving his younger brother Luka's death:

and last but not least O!Ciel watching as his elder brother R!Ciel get killed in front of him unable to do anything and has to grieve his brother's death as well (Not to mention that he even went out his way to pretend to be his elder brother alto help avenge him as well):

These all seem oddly similar...But what do you guys think of this?

[praeteritus-memories]

"Me? Hehe, you know, I've never heard someone point my name and kind in the same sentence before." Even when he was still Jim Macken, usually brat or scoundrel would typically come up in anything referring to him. To hear he's nice? It's actually kind of comforting, knowing he's not just a vulgar brat worth nothing but a demon's meal.

"That's alright! I just want to be your friend. Claude does everything for me, but I don't really have a friend my age. It's dull here, and boring when I have to meet with all these stuffy grown ups who think they run the world. With you here, we can do all sorts of things! We'll be best friends, I know it." Speaking with an authenticity, a rare thing for Alois when all he usually does is lie, he gives a big cheerful smile.

While his master rambled on and on as he always did, Claude merely stood there and glared on in pure silence as though he wasn't even there. Honestly? He thinks his master is foolish for inviting a complete stranger into his home and offering up a childish friendship, but Alois has always been nothing but a fool to the spider demon.

"T-Thank-you as I really appreciate this and am in your debt, if you ever need assistance then I would be willing to help any way I possibly can!

Honestly...this means a lot to me that you wish to help and see me safe...despite me being a stranger to you. You...you have a kind heart Alois."

Kabuki replies with several bows of his head to Alois as he then looked at Claude, still slightly nervous of them as something was off about them but he couldn't pinpoint why exactly.
