[seraphirism]

what happened at the end of chapter 4?? im not really updated anymore due to busy schedule :/

hii, and I’d be happy to explain (*^^*)!

readers, please be aware that there are spoilers below (of chapter 4 and “wish upon a black rabbit” or 黒兎に願いを込めて event story) so proceed with discretion!

I tried my best to condense it but I wasn’t sure how far you had read, plus the story following part 3 of chapter 4 till part 5 is completely connected (in a way that you wouldn’t understand one part if you didn’t know the previous part) so I gave it my best shot! I’ll include a tldr at the very end so you can read that if you want to avoid the barrage of text; I went kinda overboard?

in chapter 4, as we know, Boschi’s demon took over him; he lost control to it. but unlike the case of Bastien, Haures and Lato where they lost control because of an emotional outburst (caused by extreme despair or rage), Boschi gave control to his demon on purpose.

(just in case if you don’t know/remember why, let me give a brief summary!)

Aruji and the second floor butlers were sent over to guard the Seirans/セイラン, a noble family in the East. this was after kidnappings and attacks were done by an unknown assailant (the white headed, elf looking guy). the stranger was specifically targeting nobles associated with the Sardis family.

while they were there, the butlers were at the same time investigating if the Seiran family had been in cahoots with the Sardis family (you know in, child trafficking and experimentation).

earlier in the chapter Boschi revealed that around 300 years ago, his mother and grandmother (who was actually his nanny) were killed on the orders of Seiran family. (that was a long story; if you want me to explain that, please send me another ask, I’ll do that separately :D!)

then skip to a week later, while Aruji and the butlers were staying at their residence (and doing their guard duties) the elf guy kidnapped the head of the Seiran family. Boschi decided he and Ammon would protect Aruji and the wife of the head of the family (while they stayed in the Seiran family’s residence), and Haures and Fennesz would leave to search for the head of the Seiran family with the help of his guards.

elf guy was targeting the families associated with Sardis. that’s because a large group of his people/compatriots went missing/were kidnapped; he suspected the Seiran family was involved with it (due to their association with the Sardis family that were publicly exposed to be carrying out human trafficking. )

it is later revealed that the Seiran family was responsible for that, in particular the wife of the head of the family (because of her twisted obsession with beauty; you’d need a separate post to understand her). she was later injured by Seraphim and killed by elf guy. unfortunately for elf guy, his people are then taken by Seraphim and Cherbim.

then Chrone/スローン attacked Aruji, Boschi and Ammon whilst this happened. however this time was different; instead of trying to kill the butlers, he was attempting to kill Aruji (so the butlers would become seriously upset/angry and thus fall under the control of their demon, fight Chrone in that state to see how strong the butlers really are. (his mission was to access the full strength of the butlers).

whilst fighting, Boschi loses his prosthetic arm protecting Aruji.

(boschi’s demon is called Zaebos/ザエボス by the way!)

Zaebos offers to give Boschi all his power for this fight (basically unlock his full potential) if Boschi agrees to give up his life to the demon (i.e die) by the end of the fight. their whole talk and meeting happens in Boschi’s subconsciousness. Boschi agrees after he loses his prosthetic arm, the incident acting as a trigger.

(he realised he and Ammon couldn’t defeat Chrone by the time Haures and Fennesz would arrive and Aruji could lose their life.).

before fully losing control to his demon (like how Bastien and the rest did), he gives Ammon a warning. then he attacks Chrone. in the end, both Ammon and Boschi managed injure Chrone enough for him to agree to leave when Seraphim asks him to (since they got an idea of how strong the devil butlers are under the influence of their demon.)

but Boschi, having lost complete control to his demon side, now attacks Ammon. Ammon, having trained with Boschi for years and years on end, well aware of Boschi’s moves and what was Boschi’s weakness in a fight (—he gets exhausted easily and rapidly loses energy to fight.), exploits this. Boschi collapses in the end, Aruji comes over and does their whole usual going into their “heart”.

this time though, when Aruji goes there, Boschi was chained to a throne (I think it was a throne?) and asleep, and Zaebos (who has the form of a leopard by the way) appeared and told Aruji that it’s no use trying to awaken Boschi because he had promised his life to him in return for power.

Aruji tries their best (which was a very emotional scene by the way, the way they kept calling out for Boschi despite Zaebos telling them that Boschi is gone for good 😭) and Boschi finally manages to hear their voice (he was in a dream-like place with his mother and grandmother, possibly passing over to the other side/about to die). he comes back and tells his demon that while he did promise to give his life to the demon, he did not specify “when” he’d give his life up (that was such a move on his part, our king ✨). so long story short, Boschi promises to give his life up to the demon when Aruji dies in the future (so he’ll die when Aruji dies.).

next thing you know, he manages to wake up with Ammon collapsed at his side. Fennesz and Haures arrive with the master of the Seiran family (who they found on their way back in a bad state). His wife, Falin is dead. there will be trials in the East to implicate the Seiran family officially.

there’s a whole mess going on with Eastern Lords Alliance but Finley will attempt his best to settle the situation; he also adds that the butlers may be asked for their assistance in the matter of finding the stranger (mr elf; please devs, give him a name already or I’ll—).

[also, I nearly forgot to add; mr elf is being suspected for the crime of killing Falin, the mistress of Seiran family since she was killed with a sword and the public believe angels would not use swords to kill, rather their light/power. in actuality, he attempted to end her life with a quick blow of his sword instead of leaving her to bleed to death from Seraphim’s attack which was from a sword.

the angels use swords now too by the way ✨ like yay, their powers weren’t enough.)

then, we’re back at devil’s palace (yay! our visit was more than a week long, less than 2 weeks, if I’m not wrong). Aruji and the second floor butlers get some much needed rest. Boschi shows Aruji their new prosthetic arm (which was made from the material of his old prosthetic arm.).

he seemed much more at peace now (but we later learn in the black bunny festival [黒兎に願いを込めて] event story that losing his prosthetic arm did trigger his memories of losing his actual arm, so now whenever he spars he gets flashbacks of Chrone cutting his prosthetic arm off. those flashbacks make him freeze up while fighting. for this reason, he trains a lot more to get over this, than he did prior to this incident.

anyhow, that event story and his card story sheds light on to boschi’s state right after chapter 4, in a bit more detail.).

lastly, Berrien visits Belen and says he hopes to be able to save Belen someday.

i read the story about 2 weeks ago; though, there’s a huge chance i might have gotten something mixed up/wrong. so feel free to correct me in the comments or send me an ask! there’s also a lot of stuff i left out because i was afraid it would get too long (it still did 😭) like about:

a: Falin/フアリン, the mistress of the Seiran family, who i’d say was the most interesting character in this chapter. i could write paragraphs upon paragraphs about her.

(i love the writing of aknk but i also believe they could have given more information on Seiran family and how they came to be what they are. They have a lot of potential for a follow up event story or even a side story. I hope in a side story we get more information or maybe in the next main story?)

b: Boschi’s past; we got a lot of information about his life and, how after everything he came to meet Berrien and became a butler.

c: Ammon! we got insight into his thoughts and feelings from when Haures became demonized, and how he feels inferior to the other butlers, how he puts less effort into training because he feels he can never reach the level Haures and Boschi are on. And so on!

d: i also skipped explaining the first two parts and a bit of part 3 of chapter 4 since you asked for the ending; (but that involved Berrien, Belen, Lono and were not exactly relevant to what happened with Boschi and the ending of chapter 4.).

Tldr: Boschi loses control to his demon after losing his prosthetic arm, he manages to defeat Chrone with the help of Ammon. Aruji brings him back from the control of his demon though ultimately he will have to give his life up to his demon the day Aruji dies. there’s investigation going on into the Seiran family, the stranger (mr elf) and his identity. his people (from the valley) are still missing because Cherubim and Seraphim took them. the butlers might get a request to aid in the investigation of mr elf.

i hope this helped (^^)! feel free to send another ask if you’re confused about something or want further explanation; i like talking about aknk so it’s no trouble for me. i hope your schedule eases up a bit, please remember to take breaks and eat/drink — have a wonderful day ✨!

how type actual fucking fuck you so pretty…god plays favorites fr. What’s your secret

Genetics? I look like my mama 🤭

[sematarygirls]

Okay but he’d fuck you so hard when they lose the Super Bowl after you spends an hour gloating about the eagles handing their asses to them!

i saw this request and started giggling and kicking my feet omg. anon, i owe you my first born child. you are a GENIUS! (although, fair warning, i'm not great at writing smut. i hope this is okay <3) not proofread

cw: unprotected p in v, rough sex, mean rafe, slapping, degradation

Football tended to be a touchy subject between you and Rafe. Where you were a diehard Eagles fan, he wouldn't be caught dead rooting for them. After the Chiefs narrowly beat out the Eagles in the 2023 Super Bowl, Rafe wouldn't shut up for weeks about how "trash" the Eagles were. It drove you absolutely insane.

That's why, when the Eagles absolutely kicked ass this Super Bowl in a rematch against the Chiefs, beating them out at a whopping 40-22, you thought it was your well-deserved right to rub it in Rafe's face, much to his dismay.

One thing about Rafe is that gloating is only okay when he does it—much like a lot of other things (he's a very hypocritical guy), hence his growing anger when you wouldn't stop talking about how the Chiefs absolutely threw the game with all their fumbles, making jokes the whole time about how it seemed like they weren't even playing.

Another thing about Rafe? He tended to get violent when he was angry. With other people, this meant he'd kick their asses, but with you, it meant you were in for a long night of rough fucking to make him feel better and put you in your place for your "bratty attitude."

Though, if you tried to point out the hypocrisy with him finding your actions annoying when he had done the exact same two years prior, he would only get more annoyed and very, very defensive.

You'd learned at a very early stage in your relationship that some battles were not worth fighting with Rafe, and besides, you kind of liked it when he was all rough with you, manhandling and degrading you deliciously.

"Not so mouthy now, huh?" He taunted, pounding into you from behind. Each thrust pushed you forward a little bit, your face burying further into the pillows as you moaned. A sharp slap to your ass had you gasping, the pain sending a jolt of pleasure to your core that had you practically gushing around Rafe's thick length. You didn't know how long you'd been going at this with him, but he hadn't let you cum, nor had he let up the brutal pace.

"Look at you," he sneered. "Can't even think of anything to say back to me, huh? Thought you were gonna gloat all night about how the Eagles won." His words were cruel and biting, revealing the depth of his anger, which wasn't about the football game. It was more so about being challenged, his ego hurt after talking such a big game about how the Chiefs were going to dominate.

You couldn't form a coherent sentence. Your brain turned to mush as the only thing you could focus on were his rough hands on you and his length stretching your velvety walls. You could practically feel each ridge and vein of his cock as it slid back and forth, his tip nudging your cervix roughly with each pass.

"What happened to that smart mouth, huh?" He mocked. "Your dumb little brain's too desperate for cock, huh, bunny," he cooed, his tone patronizing as he continued to pound into you with rough strokes, making your back arch and eyes roll back.

He was so mean, but you loved it.

He was right. You couldn't respond to him anymore. You had lost your ability to form a single word, dumbed down to a mess of please sounds as he hit that sweet spot inside of you so perfectly. He took that as a victory, seeing it as proof that you knew your place. He loved it when you whimpered underneath him, completely at his mercy. "Look who's behaving now. You're lucky you're so pretty, honey," he continued, enjoying this little game of his. "Otherwise, I wouldn't put up with such a bratty mouth."

"Fuuuuuck," he groaned, giving your ass another sharp smack before his hands found your hips again, his grip bordering on painful. "And this fuckin' love this pussy. Fuckin' perfect, baby."

He was getting close. You could tell by the way his pace started to falter, and his words switched from degrading to praising. One hand slipped down to your clit, rubbing firm circles. Even when he was pissed, he still tried to make you cum first.

It didn't take much more effort on his part. Your thighs were already trembling, desperate for release from the moment he'd thrown you onto the bed and ripped your clothes off.

"You're gonna be a good girl now, huh? You're gonna stop being such a pain in the ass, aren't you?" He questioned, punctuating each question with a thrust. "No more running your mouth and riling me up, right?"

"Uh huh," you whined pathetically, needy and desperate to cum.

He knew he had you right where he wanted you, all pliant and begging. "Yeah, you gonna stop talking back, huh? You can be a good little bunny for me, can't you?" He cooed, his words sounding a little bit less harsh. He was enjoying having you like this, completely at his mercy.

All you could muster was a weak nod, your fingers gripping the sheets and mouth parted in ecstacy as you reached your peak, blinding pleasure overtaking your body as your walls clamped down around his cock.

"That's it, baby, just like that," he groaned, pumping a few more times before pushing deep inside you and releasing spurts of hot, sticky cum into your eager cunt.

Hello!!! I hope you're having a great day! If you don't mind I really want to know more about Boschi and his past

hii and I don’t mind at all (*^▽^*)!! thank you for the request and opportunity to talk about him!; as I’ve mentioned probably a dozen or so times, I love talking about aknk and especially about our King Boschi 💞!! so let me be your host today and talk your (and all readers) heads off about Boschi.

so grab a snack or drink because this is about to be really long; by the way, I’ll keep this post updated and add relevant information about Boschi’s past that I learn from any new content I consume.

spoilers about chapter 4 (part 4) + Boschi’s card story + event story of “wish upon a black rabbit” event.

Background: a few months before Boschi was born.

so Boschi was born in the East, in the region of Sougetsu/ソウゲツ to a noble family (whose name, for some reason we don’t know.). his father was an aristocrat with some influence in the East, while Boschi’s mother was from a small noble family from a mountainous reagion in the East. Boschi’s mother’s family, while being nobles, were not as wealthy or influential in any way.

Boschi’s father had three wives, his third wife being Boschi’s mother.

we don’t know much about the second wife; just that the first wife was involved in her and her son’s murder.

the first wife was a power hungry woman from a very powerful noble family in the East, (yep, you guessed it! Seiran family.) and even back then, Seiran family had a lot of influence. because of her background, position and the fact she was the first of all wives to have a son, the first wife exerted her influence in their family (evident by how she ended up killing the second wife and her son).

now, we have a rough time line of when Boschi and his half siblings were born:

[the first son/child to be born in their family was the first wife’s.]

now jump to maybe an year or so later the second wife had her first son, then Boschi was born and a month after, the second son of the first wife was born.

the second wife’s son was killed along with his mother sometime before Boschi was born.

[by the way, all of this happened likely months apart; there isn’t a huge gap in time. I’m still not sure about the order of their births so if anyone can correct me, they’re more than welcome.]

Boschi’s birth and the events leading up to that day:

now, when Boschi was born, his mother was afraid that he would get killed next by the first wife if she found out.

[Boschi’s mother was physically unhealthy/frail (this was partly helped by the fact that she was being poisoned all this time by the first wife (in small doses to weaken her.). so after Boschi’s birth she would no longer be able to have children.]

Boschi’s mother, knowing the danger she and Boschi were in, decided to give him up to his wet nurse and send her off to the West. she would then go ahead to tell everyone in the palace that she was attacked by bandits while she was out and her child died due to the wounds he sustained. then, she would no longer be a threat to the first wife and be able to live peacefully in the palace.

Boschi was taken by his wet nurse through a cave in the forests close to their palace, leading away from their land.

now Boschi was sent with his wet nurse to the West where they lived in a small village. Boschi, growing up, was told that his parents died in an accident. (his wet nurse passed herself off as his grandmother, which is how I’ll be referring to her from this point.).

Boschi grows up well, going to school and back, helping his grandmother out at their house with repairs from a young age and later in his teens helping everyone in the village with small errands (repair, hunting for food etc).

[this is where Boschi got his love for building houses and handling decor ✨]

Boschi also studied well (because his grandmother wanted him to be aware and knowledgeable). she may have hid his lineage from him, but she did not want him to grow up unlike other noble kids.

(by the way, Boschi and his grandmother were not financially well and barely made ends meet, until he went into his teens and later, since he could work. his work was mostly hunting/repair/protection).

the day that changed everything, fast: Boschi’s twentieth birthday.

now, on his twentieth birthday he returned home from hunting a deer. he was planning on celebrating the day with his grandmother when a stranger (older in age) visited their house.

he tells Boschi that he’s a noble and an heir to the position of his father. on the approval of the third wife (Boschi’s mother), the man (who was a soldier) had come to inform Boschi of his lineage and to take him back for something very important.

[he had a very bad reaction to it, calling it a prank made in bad-taste but after being shown proof through a ring with a seal of his mother’s family that was kept by his grandmother all these years (it was given by his mother to her to sell if she couldn’t make ends meet), he believed everything, although perplexed.]

he was told that his younger half brother (the second son, I believe?) and the first wife had assumed a rule of total tyranny and were executing any man that they did not like. the people were also in a financially bad state.

[his father was sick and in bed so he couldn’t intervene to stop the two.]

the older loyal men to the family head (his father) were planning a coup d'état and planning on replacing Boschi’s younger half brother with Boschi, who has more right to the throne since he’s older.

they would do this with the approval of Boschi’s father.

[Boschi’s existence may not have been known to the civilians or most of his family but his hair (dark blue) and eyes (green) were a dead giveaway that he was his father’s son and the lustre of his hair was exactly like his mother’s; hence there was no question of people not believing him.]

Boschi was reluctant in the beginning but decided to go ahead with the men with their coup.

[that was because he believed that by assuming the position of the head of the family, he’d be able to have enough money and influence to get a good doctor for his grandmother, who due to age and illness was not doing well.]

the coup and the events that followed:

they go ahead, the coup was successfully; it ended without any blood shed and the men of the first wife were arrested, along with her and her son. (there’s a bit of time skip here, maybe a week or so) and the first son and first wife are brought out in public who sneer and throw slurs at them.

civilians and the people who started the coup wanted both of them executed publicly for their crimes and that’s what they were expecting when the two were brought out.

[this was going to be Boschi’s first every public appearance.]

[by the way, younger half brother gets revealed in this fiasco to have been a child born out of wedlock, according to rumours that is. basically, his mother (the first wife) had an affair with another man. Boschi asserts this since the younger half brother did not look like his father at all.]

Boschi appears and reads their crimes out loud as the people watch, in anticipation; he announces that their sentence would be an execution for their crimes but he’s going to grant them a pardon, have them exiled from the East, rather than executing them.

[Boschi states the reason for this. this was because that the treatment of the son and first wife was going to be his first decision as an heir and he didn’t want blood being shed to be that or for that to be his image in the eyes of people. he did not want the people to think he’s cruel like them and someone who would possibly execute the civilians easily over small crimes.

basically, him pardoning them would show the civilians that if he’s capable of showing mercy to people threatening his rule, he could show mercy to his civilians as well. later, rumours would spread that their land is not cruel to its people and even outsiders would come for business endeavours/job opportunities. he thought the decision on a long run.]

things are beginning to look up?; the events leading up to that night.

now, time skip to a little while later; he’s learning about the problems of his territory, it’s geography and what issues his people are having (everything being new to him). he also has his grandmother being treated by doctors .

[she had a persistent cough I think and wasn’t physically in the best state.]

he meets his mother for the first time and while the meeting is awkward, he hopes their relationship will get better with time.

[by the way, his mother’s physical and mental health was pretty bad; she blames herself for the fact that Boschi grew up away from his parents and had a harsh life. she also believes that by giving up Boschi, he might think she didn’t want him, that’s why she doesn’t try to make attempts to get closer to him, because she thinks she has no right to act like a mother all this time later.]

[almost forgot, Boschi’s father (who was sick all this time in bed) passes way; Boschi was now officially the head.]

[the way this was revealed in the story was amazing 😭💞! on one visit to his mother, he tells her that the Head of this family is worried about you. she laughs in response, saying that to the Head she was already someone from the distant past and as the heir, Boschi has no need to be concerned about her (she was putting herself to be insignificant.).

he tells her he’s not an heir (not any longer). she goes quiet in shock. then he reiterates himself, saying that he said the Head is worried about you; he’s the Head now. and he wants her to eat well and become better so they can make up for all the time they’ve missed spending together these past 20 years. he also added that he would abolish all old traditions and rules (the ones that restricted noblewomen from going out too much) so she has no need to worry.]

[also noteworthy; Boschi wasn’t shown to be upset or affected by his father’s death in any way. it’s likely, that his father was overall not a good person either, considering his relationship with Boschi’s mother too.]

that night: the beginning and the end.

Boschi was having a walk with his mother, talking about he’s going to go out hunting soon and get some good food for his mother and how they should go out together (him, his grandmother and mother.). his mother asks him whether he’s happy now, and he replies with a wide grin that he is; he’s surrounded by people who love him, his family. his mother, was pleased by this.

their peaceful talk is interrupted when armed forces (under Seiran family) attack them. [it’s later revealed that they come in to attack from a secret passage in the palace, known only to the first wife who taught the armed forces about it.]

his mother gets struck by an arrow and his attempts to save her prove futile as she dies there, since her health wasn’t the best to begin with.

Boschi rushes to find his grandmother inside the palace and leaves with her on his back. he runs outside the palace to the forest nearby, attempting to lose the armed forces.

there, an arrow grazes Boschi’s arm but he brushes it off, still focusing his strength on running as fast as he could with the forces hot on his tail. he finally sees a cave hidden in the forest and decides to hide there for a while.

as Boschi makes plans to escape, his grandmother tells him to leave her behind. he reacts harshly to that, saying she was his only family left now and there was no way he was leaving her behind. there he sees that she was shot in the back with an arrow which was meant for him (yep, the one that grazed him in the arm.).

she ends up passing away with Boschi crying away into the night.

[that was a super emotional scene by the way; she reminisces the night she carried Boschi in her arms (when he was a baby) and escaped through a cave in the forest to the West. the same cave that now Boschi had carried her to this time to escape. she says the time she raised Boschi was her happiest time and she hopes he would continue to be a kind hearted person who helps people 😭.].

the events following + till Boschi becomes 28:

Boschi returns to the West, has his grandmother buried in the forest; the area was well hidden so it would be safe from attacks (of angels and people.). he quickly reaches his village and tells all villagers to leave because he thought there was a high chance there Seiran family’s armed forces would come to his village in search of him and burn it down too after they were done.

that’s exactly what happens; after the villagers were gone, the armed forces arrive, ransack the village and burn it down.

the villagers of that village all disperse and settle in other villages. all signs of the existence of his village were gone; in an attempt to make sure that his village is never forgotten, he changes his last name to his village’s name so he could carry it forever with him.

[yep! the village’s name was Arenas! we have no knowledge of his grandmother’s name or his family name.].

[all this happened when Boschi was 20 by the way.]

now, we have a time skip of a few years to when Boschi is 28; he’s been living as a wanderer, travelling, staying in a place for a little, working as a bodyguard + other odd jobs before moving again.

this is because after Seiran family had taken over the territory of his family, they had not forgotten him; they were still searching for him to have him killed by assassins.

[random, but something I still want to add: Boschi reveals that during this time period he did do jobs, for money, that his grandmother would not have been proud of him for. it’s unknown what he was referring to.]

the fateful day: becoming a devil’s butler.

so now, we zoom in to a time where he’s living in the north, in mountains when a man approaches him.

the man seems to know a lot about him, his past and identity. upon Boschi telling the man that, he says that he keeps tabs on the lives of people who have gone through a lot of despair in their life.

Boschi reacts negatively and suspiciously. the man introduces himself as (you guessed it ✨) Berrien, a devil butler (yay, it’s Berrien!).

he tells Boschi that he wants him to join Berrien as a devil butler where they’ll fight angels, his past identity will be forgotten. since the Grobaner family have enough influence and power to protect him if Seiran family do manage to find out about his whereabouts.

Boschi agrees very quickly to this, despite Berrien warning him of the hardships that will come his way; Boschi still agrees, smiling for the first time in a while because after such a long time he’ll finally have a purpose and he has gotten exhausted of this life on the run + hiding.

Boschi joins around the time Fennesz and Haures did; they become good friends because they were the same age when they joined and were assigned to the same floor.

2-3 years later: Boschi loses his arm and right eye.

in an angel attack (where the attack was pretty strong and i think they may have been outnumbered?), Haures is caught off guard by an angel sneaking up on him.

Boschi, who was at his side, throws himself in front of him, taking the blow/attack for him. due to this, Boschi loses his right arm (below the elbow I believe) and his right eye (by that I mean, the eyeball is there but he can’t see through the eye.).

the reason he states for protecting Haures was that having Haures (harmed or killed, though he would have likely died had Boschi not jumped in) would be a great loss to them (devil butlers) and their strength since Haures was and is really strong + he’s responsible for training the other butlers as well.

[by the way, Boschi was and is right handed, so he lost his dominant arm.]

from what we know (through Fennesz, Berrien and Miyaji), he played it off in a nonchalant manner so everyone would not worry about him. but in actuality it was eating at him.

when he started wearing his prosthetic arm, he had difficulty performing everyday tasks like picking up a fork/utensil (his grip wasn’t steady so he would drop it) or sometimes his grip would be too strong so he’d end up breaking something. most importantly, though, he was having a lot of trouble using his sword with his prosthetic arm.

his blows were not as strong as they were and he’d also drop his sword in the middle of a fight as his grip would falter.

this made him train for hours and hours on end to get used to his prosthetic arm, brushing off the concern of the other butlers and pretending he was doing well after the accident, which he wasn’t (mentally and physically.).

now, we have know from the black rabbit event card story of Boschi, that in order to prove himself to everybody he worked really hard to get over the troubles he had with his arm and within a short time, he improved his command over his prosthetic arm.

(he did not take help from anyone, even getting really angry at Haures when he suggested Boschi leave the fighting to him since with the loss of his right arm and eye, Boschi would not be able to reach his full strength. Boschi became really angry at that instance because, as he stated, Haures did not get to decide what Boschi could or could not do; his limits were something only he could decide.

after that, Haures wouldn’t bother him too much during his excessive training sessions and instead Fennesz would check up on him.)

that’s what happened and later he reached the state he is now, where both him and Haures are at the same level of skill in swordsmanship.

now 300 years later, we have Boschi of the present! he hates his vegetables, loves his meat, cannot miss his afternoon naps and trips to the sauna. he has his arguments with Haures (where both verbally and sometimes in training, beat the hell out of each other.) and he also likes books too, which may initially seem contrary to his personality! we have one instance of him tearing up after reading a book recommended to him by Fennesz! (he then played off when you/MC asks him about it). anyhow, he’s very lovable!

Extra + my thoughts:

something I liked and noticed in the part where Boschi’s mother was taking him in her arms for the last time before he would be taken by his grandmother to the west:

Boschi was sleeping that time and she said that he really is a child that sleeps well. fast forward to now and Boschi is still known to sleep the best and most among the butlers 😭 taking his afternoon naps and going to bed early at night too.

[also, this is my personal thought but what if Boschi started relying on Ammon for taking care of his hair after he lost his arm? i doubt he doesn’t know how to take care of his hair since there was that 8 year time period where he was completely alone; he must’ve taken care of it himself. but after he lost his arm, he must’ve had a hard time brushing it and drying it. Ammon would have likely offered to take care of it to get in Boschi’s good books and with his persistence, Boschi must’ve yielded. so now, over 300 years later, Ammon still does his hair.]

[Lastly, this is a question I had, if anyone knows the answer to it; what happened to Boschi’s older half brother, the first son of the first wife? why was the second son of the first wife in charge and not the first son who was the first heir? could it be since the first son wasn’t mentioned later in the story, that he might have been killed sometime before Boschi came to the East? hence making the second son step for the position of the head of the family? East is prone to territorial feuds and wars so it wouldn’t be a surprise if he got killed in a battle or in an assassination attempt by the other families.]

Edit: I forgot to add this! so the whole Seiran family killing Boschi’s family and replacing them as the nobility of Sougetsu was not something that happened because of Boschi letting the first wife and her son go without executing them, though it may seem so initially.

Boschi explained that the Seiran family planned this when they let one of their noblewomen, the first wife, marry Boschi’s father. what they intended in the beginning was that the first wife’s son would become the head of the family and then (they’d either merge the family into one or take over the territory of Boschi’s family and make it theirs.).

however, they didn’t expect Boschi to appear as the heir and then become the head. that’s why they resorted to plan B, which was killing them off (since they weren’t huge in number) by entering the palace grounds through the secret pathway and using (the additional information provided by the first wife about the structure of the palace, how many guards are situated in each place, the possible weak spots etc) to their advantage. which is what happened in the end.

that’s all! i haven’t read too many of Boschi’s card stories (I’ve read 4, I’m planning on reading more) so that’s why I might have missed out on some info. if I learn anything new, I’ll mention it in this post (^^)!

I love all the butlers in aknk. that of course, includes Boschi, but my love for him sky-rocketed after reading chapter 4 + the black rabbit event story 💖✨!! I had Lato as my main butler on my homescreen the past month but after reading chapter 4, I had Boschi on my screen before i knew it 😭

if any information I’ve mentioned is incorrect in any way, please do let me know! there’s a lot of information so I can get something wrong if I’m not too careful.

anyhow, I hope you have a good day, anon 💞! I hope this is a good read and the flow of my writing is bare-able lol. and I hope knowing all of this makes you like Boschi more; he’s a very well written character (i am bonkers about him.)

anxious!reader forcing rafe to watch her shitty rom coms with her? he’s secretly all grumpy but he LOVES it <3

  ⠀⠀♯┆Anxious!Reader &&. Romcoms With Rafe.ㅤ  ۪ ୧

ᰋ. ‎ ‎‎ ‎ rafe would make such a fuss about romcoms and then end up getting so invested / i was going to use 10 things i hate about you, but then, i decided to go with my personal favorite romcom‎‎—the princess bride ‎ ‎ : ‎‎ ‎ ‎WARNINGS . . . none, just fluff.   ̼ ₊

"No way. I'm not watching this chick shit," Rafe protested, making a move for the remote, but you quickly pulled back, refusing to let him take over movie night again.

"You'll like it, I promise," you reassured him, pressing on the movie titled The Princess Bride.

"Fat fuckin' chance," he scoffed, crossing his arms like a petulant child. As you pressed play, he rolled his eyes, ready to settle in for a boring night of chick flicks, but deep down, he knew it made you happy so he let it happen, only putting up a fight to maintain his image.

"It's got death and sword fights and adventure," you smiled brightly at him, gushing about your favorite movie in a way that made his expression soften a fraction.

"And kissing," he pointed out, making you laugh at how he sounded exactly like the little boy at the beginning of the movie, protesting the story just because he thought it would be a silly, girly love story.

"i thought you didn't mind kissing," you smiled playfully, giving him a peck on the lips as you snuggled closer to him.

"Smartass," he muttered, but his hand found its way to your waist, pulling you closer. "Fine, I'll watch your fuckin' princess movie."

"Shh, it's starting," you smiled, watching as the movie opened with the little boy sick in bed, playing a baseball game when his mother came in to inform him that his grandpa was visiting to check up on him.

The movie started slow with some boring romantic bullshit like Buttercup and Westley saying "as you wish" instead of "I love you" that had Rafe rolling his eyes, but when the presumed love interest was revealed to have died at sea by the Dread Pirate Roberts, Rafe found himself perking up. Only about 10 minutes in, and someone had already died, albeit off screen. Maybe this movie wouldn't completely suck.

He found himself increasingly invested, wishing for Westley back as soon as the guy he assumed was Princess Buttercup's new love interest, Prince Humperdink, was introduced. "This guy seems like a dick," he commented.

"Just wait," you giggled, having inside knowledge as to just how much of a dick he really was. As Princess Buttercup got kidnapped and almost died to the shrieking eels, Rafe found himself stretching out on the couch, his reluctance fading with each passing moment of action unfolding, and by the time the sword fight between the Man in Black and Inigo Montoya started, he was completely and utterly invested.

You glanced up at Rafe, smiling as you saw his brows furrowed, his blue eyes tracking the two men as they darted back and forth, each trying to best the other. The sword fight had always been your favorite scene, ever since you were a kid.

The scenes passed by, the Man in Black temporarily incapacitating Inigo and Fezzick and killing Vizzini by poisoning him before taking Princess Buttercup for himself, saying awful and mean things to her.

Finally, she snapped, shoving him down a steep hill. On the way down, he yelled, "as you wish," which had Rafe's eyes widening as he turned to look at you. "He's alive?" He asked in disbelief, making you grin and nod, loving how invested he was, especially because of his initial vehemence.

"That was completely unnecessary," you rolled your eyes as she threw herself down the hill after him instead of walking down like a normal person.

The movie continued with them venturing through the fire swamp, getting separated by Prince Humperdink and his men, Buttercup's arranged marriage to the prince, Westley being mostly killed but not fully dead and being revived by Miracle Max, and finally, the conclusion where Inigo killed the Six Fingered Man that killed his father and Westley saved Buttercup from being killed by Prince Humperdink on her "wedding" night.

"Westley should've killed him instead of just tying him up," Rafe rolled his eyes as they all rode away on white horses.

"You liked it," you teased him, grinning widely.

"I didn't say that," he protested, but he couldn't hide the smile tugging at his lips. "But it was... not completely terrible. I guess." He glanced at you, noticing how happy you looked. "Stop looking at me like that."

"Like what?" You asked innocently, batting your lashes, still wearing that shit-eating grin.

"Like you're so proud of yourself, knowing you were right and I was wrong," he grumbled, rubbing circles on your hip.

"Well, I did say you'd like it," you reminded him, laying your head on his shoulder.

"Yeah, yeah," he huffed half-heartedly, rolling his eyes, pretending to be annoyed at your gloating. His arm automatically wrapped around you, however, pulling you closer.

"Thank you for watching my movie, baby," you said softly. "It meant a lot to me." And it meant even more to you that he actually liked it.

Hearing you call him "baby" in that soft, sincere voice sent a jolt of warmth through him. "Yeah, well, don't mention it," he murmured, pressing a kiss to the top of your head. Truthfully, he'd do anything for you. He was totally and utterly in love with you. "As you wish, or whatever."

something so minor from FHJY that I’m almost constantly thinking about is how simple and mundane and loving it was for Kristen to ask Fabian to grab some hot chips for her. He agreed and even brought it up when talking about why he was at the vending machine. And she gets her hot chips and is then dancing in the bathroom later on

I don’t know what it is about this moment but it means so much to me
