It kind of pisses me off how many people misgender grell

Grell is a woman. She isn’t nonbinary or a man. Why do people keep misgendering her? It’s disgusting and transphobic. Grell identifies herself as a woman and it’s heavily implied she committed suicide because of gender dysmorphia.

I Don't Understand The Appeal for Grell

Sometimes, I wonder if I'm the only one who has an extremely difficult time understanding why Grell is such a fandom favorite. Personally, I've always found characters like Grell annoying and I have no problem with people liking him, because everyone's allowed to have their favorites, but I legitimately can't even guess the reason why so many people love him so much. If you can, please give me an explanation as to why so many love Grell so much, because I do not understand why!

For my fellow Agni and Soma fans...

There is very little fan content/discussion for these characters so I wanted to put this out there! They are my favorite characters (to the point where they're kind of the only reason I keep up with the fandom) and I'd love to have some Soma/Agni enjoyers to talk to here or on AO3.

I'm writing an ongoing Soma and Agni centered fanfic that explores their relationship in the canon era through the framing device of a modern reincarnation AU, but I know self promo/links aren't allowed so anyone feel free to comment or DM me if you wanna talk fic or canon or whatever and I can send it to you. I have still not recovered from what Yana did to my sweet boy Agni so pls commiserate with me :')

Chapter 212

Here’s chapter 212. Please make sure to keep all discussions of it on this post, and make sure any posts about it have a spoiler tag :)))

Also, please do not make a separate post uploading chapter 212, I will have to remove it as spam if you do, I don’t want to see it posted 3 times (as I don’t want the server to have any copy right issues). If there are any issues with the link, just let me know! See you next month:)))

The Season 4 opening is a banger

Just like the title says. I am just saying that the opening is cool and sounds awesome.

Grelle and William { but they're actually Late Victorian

This is a mildly scruffy sketch of two of the Grim Reapers { Shini-Gami } namely Grelle and William, Grelle's design remains unchanged from the last I drew her, and I have drawn William in a full mourning suit, not a modern suit with a stand collar like how he's draw in the manga and anime

Scared to read further... Am I the only one?

I have arrived at that part of Manga where the twin is introduced.... Maybe because I was in the zone, reading from chapter 65 till there. I immediately got so perplexed and depressed because the sudden twist of atmosphere in the already dark Manga just made me so scared to read further. Like this part gave me a revision on how twisted and dark the Black Butler world is !!! Because few happy moments made me get over the fucked up parts but with the introduction of Ciel's twin , it smells like disaster. From few panels we can see Undertaker can't get over Vincent's death and that's maybe why he brought the twin back to life and was doing experiments to do so. But the fact the twin has evil feelings towards our Ciel has me confused... Since he's a Bizarre Doll and has memories that are made up attached to him could be the reason? But I don't understand Undertaker motive?! He wants to bring back Phantomhive alive ? Wants a perfect family back ? What about the twin he brought back being evil?

I haven't read the Manga further because idk? Manga Trauma 💀💀 jjk, bsd authors have traumatized me 💀

I know this Manga isn't golden n sunshines but it's tooooo sad. Plus AGNI DYING ??!!!!! I couldn't believe untill I googled if he's really dead and THEN The Grim Reaper collecting his soul 😭😭😭 I hated it hereee yalll

Favorite fanfic disappeared 😭

It was an Agni/Soma fic called Reflections of the Past posted on FF, now it says unavailable for reading ☹️ if anyone knows where else it might be posted or has it downloaded please let me know (I can't find it on AO3). There's so little fanfic for these characters so I'm really sad it's gone

Predictions for Blue Revenge 4.

Because I made predictions about Blue Revenge 3 with the only two I got correct are Doll coming back as a Bizarre Doll and the mission failing (I'm still hoping Artie is Sebastian's grandbastard), I decided to make some predictions for Blue Revenge 4 (but put them all in one place).

  1. The Midfords will show up as a way of trying to take their minds off recent events

  2. N. McMillian will make a return and we will learn his name

  3. The Hotel Valet will be the main antagonist of this arc

  4. Ciel will crossdress in this arc, we already had a depressing arc and Yana will want to lighten things up a bit in this arc.

  5. Sebastian will have some of his backstory revealed, even if its only a little.

Does anyone have any of their own predictions?

Question about chapter 94

When Sebastian says "I feel sorry all the people who fell victim to your boring existence", do you think his demon side actually thinks CIel is boring, or was he just talking about the weak state he was in at the moment? Honestly, that was my biggest takeaway from his angry dialogue. My ego hurt for Ciel!

catch me up!

i don’t really watch anime anymore but randomly found out that they released a new season of this! (i’ve read pretty far into the manga) when was this announced? have they been planning this for a while and it just took a long time or did they randomly decide to add a new season a few years ago? thanks for explaining!

I'm crying..

I knew this was coming and I was prepared for his fate because I saw a spoiler on an anime thread (idk what's the spoiler rules on this sub but thanks! 🙄) but still, I was not prepared for it to be this sad and brutal! I don't think I've ever cried so hard for a manga. Why Yana why what did he do to deserve this? It's so weird having this reaction over a fictional character but it's just so devastating. >!Agni!< doesn't deserve this. >!Soma!< doesn't deserve this. I hope they get rid of that >!twin!< asap

Edit: Damn it's way darker now I'm at 136. Damn.

Edit2: Never mind I don’t want the >!twin!< to go oh just yet…

Should I keep watching Black Butler?

I posted this in the anime subreddit but will also post it here. After watching the first few episodes I already feel like dropping it which is uncommon for me considering I've sat through hundreds of episodes with other animes. It just feels boring and that it's going nowhere. Should I keep watching it?
