Wouldn't It Be Crazy If Somehow Claudia's Death Counted As Suicide And She Became A Grim Reaper?

05.13.25. Happy Birthday Francis 🥳🥳

My relatable queen... I love Francis so much (and her complex relationship with her father, if that wasn't made clear from the art I commissioned from the wonderful & talented lacediap).

While we don't know Francis' canonical birthday, I believe she was born on May 13, 1853 - yet another significant Friday the 13th in the Phantomhives' lives, a pattern that seems to have begun with Vincent's birth on Friday June 13, 1851... Or did it?

When this panel is animated I will ascend.

If you assume a gestational period of exactly nine months, Vincent would have also been conceived on a Friday the 13th - September 13, 1850. And I crunched the numbers, pulled out the old Victorian calendar - and if Francis was born on Friday May 13, 1853, she would have been conceived on Friday August 13, 1852.

Evidently Undertaker and Grandma P really liked getting freaky on Friday the 13ths 😏

Another odd coincidence are the ages at which Claudia and Cedric died - Claudia died at the age of 36, in 1866, and I believe Cedric (Undertaker) was born on March 25th, 1331 (a significant date in a year which has the number '13' forwards and backwards) and that he died on January 28, 1366 (corresponding with his reaper serial number, 136649). This would mean he killed himself when he was 34 - the same age his son Vincent would be when murdered in 1885.

Meanwhile Claudia is confirmed to have died at the age of 36, on Friday July 13, 1866. And if Francis was born on May 13 1853, that means that in the current setting of the manga, December 1889, she is 36 years old...

Happy Birthday Girl 🥲 although this idea that Cedric/Undertaker 'cursed' the family with his involvement might be kind of nuts... After all...

His early contract days had him trying to get used to having feet for the first time 😭

Ekuoto shitposts part 5

I'm sorry but why does Ciel happen to have an outfit that matches Lizzy on a trip they weren't planning on going together? Or does every outfit Ciel has naturally coordinates with Lizzy's because Nina makes both of their clothes anyway?

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw chapter 215 - Young master, forgive me, I'm going to write a rap about my difficult demonic life…

Ok, I really want to talk about this scene in particular, and how the different phrases in English bring out certain nuances:

The unofficial manga translation is the most accurate, as @akumadeenglish went over in their post. While in Tango on the Campania, the line used in this scene became "I promise I'll protect you, at any cost!" Now, translations can't be 1:1 all the time, so long as they get across a similar intention from the original language they're good. But I want to emphasize the difference between "protect you at least," and "at any cost," and what they imply.

"Protect you at least," can be taken as foreshadowing, as we find out later Ciel had a brother that he lost. So the words "protect you at least," implies that now, out out everyone alive, it has to be Lizzy that survives. It makes sense, as Ciel naturally sees her apart of his family when he remembers his happy past, almost like a set (even more frequently than Madam Red surprisingly).

However, "at any cost," is far more foreboding. Because it's what Ciel told Sebastian, at any cost he wanted "more power than anyone else". That's why I assumed Sebastian laughed when he heard him. Would Ciel really do it for any cost? Even if it's at the cost of his revenge? When I first read it, I assumed it implied that Ciel would be tested by those words and genuinely got worried that Lizzy really would die to the bizarre dolls. Even now I'm still concerned what price will be paid in the future...

welcome to black butler in today’s chapter we had a technically dead guy end it all again in front of his supposed situationship and an old guy licking the floor
