liking black butler since middle school is so strange what do you mean i’m not the same age as ciel anymore
this is so real...
Killing off characters that have struggled with trauma and abuse before getting their redemption gives a really bad message to people who struggle with depression and PTSD.
Live footage of me watching that one part of episode two
This issue made me to angry to sleep so many nights... i feel the same
Not to get into anime gender discourse, but arguing about an anime character’s gender, like Chihiro from Danganronpa or Naoto from Persona, is entirely pointless considering the people who wrote them clearly didn’t, and probably don’t, acknowledge trans people at all, like, in general. Its very clear why the confusion of how to interpret their gender comes up, as the stories resonate very heavily with some trans people, but are ultimately denied representation because the writers just didn’t give enough of a shit to think of transgender people while creating a plotline explicitly about one’s connection with their gender, and instead of actually going somewhere constructive and giving good representation, boomerang right into “They actually fuckin’ love being their AGAB, and all of that questioning and shit was pointless, maybe at most meant to have a message about sexism or some shit.” And especially in the case of Naoto, its very clear that he’s a trans man, to the point where up until the game makes it very clear he’s a cis woman you have to actively try to think he’s not trangender (Like, his shadow’s whole fucking deal was to physically change his own body so he could be a cis man, its literally right there.) Oh course, the writers then decide to go down a painfully familiar “Oh, no, its just because the workforce they wish to be apart of is sexist towards women and no other reason for them to have issues with their gender!” (See, how people describe people like James Barry) which is just a very regressive view on this matter. So like, it gets stuck at this point where canonically, these characters are cis but are written very much as transgender, and while headcanons are great and all, Naoto will only ever be acknowledged as a cis woman, Chihiro will only ever be considered a cis man, and the writers behind them never have to or want to even think about the implications of these characters and how much it just hurts to not be represented in characters who could be very good pieces of representation if the writers gave half of a rat’s shit about transgender people.
In short: Media written about implicatively transgender characters will always suck when written by people who don’t care about transgender people and any discourse about what gender they are is null and void because of this.
I’m sure tons of people have made this exact take but its 4 am and I’m too angry to sleep.
Some stuff happened to me lately so I started to worship Loki too. I was worried about what Baldr would be thinking about it… but today, while I was walking with my dog, she stopped to smell something in the floor. I come closer and I realised it was a white flower. I felt at the moment it was a message from my little bean Baldr, because in Baldr day(21/6) I found in front of my house's door a white flower too. I'm soft now hahahaha

We're open to talk but our anxiety makes hard to keep in check of chats. we're working on that! 💙
Okay, before I go on my rant, there are manga spoilers from the Arcs that are ahead of where Anime is, so you are being WARNED.
It kind of makes me sad that everyone hates Lizzy nowadays. Like idk what people expect from her. She is 14.
Freaking 14!
You know what we are doing at 14? Worrying and losing shit about our exams and not having good looks at 14.
Like, put yourself in her shoes. The girl lost not only her fiance but also two of her best friends, her uncle and aunt who would have dotted on her with how we know Vincent and Rachel were. She lost them all, and then after a month, one of her cousins came back saying he was her fiance, and this went on for three years.
I'm not saying Our Ciel is a bad guy here or anything. He had his own reasons. But think of it from Lizzy's side. This is supposed to be the boy who she sacrificed so much for. The boy for whom she exchanged beautiful heels for flats, appeared frail and girly because her supposed fiance had been scared of strong women since he was a child and she didn't want him to hate her or be scared of her, so she hid away her natural talents so he wouldn't think of her as the same way he thought of her mother. This is the girl who cried while trying to save the supposed fiance from walking corpses because she thought he'd hate her for being able to protect herself and him and not being girly.
Like has anyone thought about the fact there might have been things that Lizzy and Real Ciel might have discussed that Our Ciel wouldn't know about? Like for this instance here, from Chapter 66 when they are celebrating Easter.
This is seriously something to put into consideration that Lizzy is infact talking to him about something that she had told him before the fire at Phantomhive manor. And he doesn't knows it. And she is shocked. And she is shocked to the point that for the first time in what we have read the manga she asks that what happened to him in that ome month that changed him so much.
And then, all of sudden she is reunited with the guy who knows exactly what she and him talked about when they talking of their future. Mind you both Ciel were 10 and Lizzy was 11 at that time.
Do we even put it into thought that maybe Real Ciel might have given her a whole detailed version of what actually happened when he was killed, like how Our Ciel got the Phantomhive ring and all the gruesome details, and God knows would have told her what else?
And idk if you get it or not, but the fact that she's actually beating herself over is that she couldn't find any difference between Real Ciel and Our Ciel, which, again, if you put yourself in her shoes, will make sense that her reaction is right.

And even after that, her thoughts first go to how our Ciel might be mocking her or not then she tells Edward what she actually thought at the moment.
These two boys who she played with since they were kids, these two boys who were her best friends, and she couldn't find a difference between her fiance and his brother. It's not anything but traumatizing and something that anyone would feel tremendous guilt over. And even then she is feeling far more guilty over the fact that if she had known the truth, she could have ended up hating Ciel because he wasn't her fiance.
Reminds you guys of something?
Source: Chapter 11
She knows she would have turned bitter and we possibly would have seen the same reaction we did when Madam Red attempted to kill Our Ciel. Something which did happen when we saw her attacking Sebastian when he tried to retrieve her from the Sphere Music Hall. And if not that she feels guilty of playing part in what happened with Our Ciel and the Scotland Yard being set on his tail.
She feels hurt, guilty and confused all over not knowing what to do or who to side with because the guy who was okay with her being a strong woman was not her actual fiance but his younger twin.
Overall. Give the girl a break. She's 14, confused, and emotionally traumatized. Get that we love Our Ciel. I do too. But let's not get angry at a 14-year-old girl and allow her the liberty of having emotions like any real 14-year-old is allowed because let's accept it her situation ain't anything pretty.
Congrats!! 😭💙💙💙💙
