You've been so strong. You keep being so strong despite everything life's thrown your way. I find you incredibly admirable. You've got this.
just opened the app and saw your recent twt so I just want to say,, you can do it!! I believe in you!! you are doing great and you /will/ do great!! drink lots of water and be as comfy as you can be, wear pjs, put on a face mask, listen to some classical music, and go work on your comms with a fresh mind!! maybe not now, but I know the world will soon learn to be more gentle with your heart,, and I hope that you can be kinder to yourself too,, your work is amazing,,, /you/ are amazing,, don't forget that 🫂
I just wanted to say that I'm sending many positive vibes. You are resilient and you'll make it through! It may sound corny, but there is always sun after rainfall, even if the rain takes weeks or even months. There will be better times, so keep on swimming!
You can do it! I'm glad you're here and you make the world a brighter place with you in it <3 (ngl your art is also so fucking fire tho, came for twst stayed for Black Butler <3 )
i'm sorry you're going thru a rough time, if music helps you out at all, sometimes when i feel really low i like to listen to "what a wonderful world" by louis armstrong, it might seem cliche but it reminds me that there's good in the world when it can be easy to forget <3 especially these days
It's been great seeing you around. Oh! I found a summation of an odd game by a cool channel. I'm not sure if other channels are interesting, but I do like this. A review of Zenith. An action RPG with some amusing writing

hey, I'm glad you can still make art and it's always a blast to see you on my timeline. I hope things get easier and kinder for you soon friend! <3
When it comes to creating art, what's your favorite part of the process? :3
Dog anon again: I meant he was around in the body of a dog, hiding on plain site. Sorry if got you confused. Moreover: who can see shinigamis? People close to deathbed, right? So if Vincent knew Undertaker, he might knew Sebastian. Or… he didn’t know the demon, but that’s why Undertaker was close and familiar — because of Sebastian hiding around, snooping. Bored or waiting for a chance to strike.
Oh I'm sorry I misunderstood ><
But I like the idea ! Tho idk if he can come out without a summoning, so maybe he was in a contract ?
And I don't recall for sure but maybe yes ! maybe Undertaker wanted to protect Vincent… I really wonder what their relationship was and what Yana has in store for us about this !
What if Sebastian was a dog in Phantomhive family? Meaning that he was always lurking out and about, maybe even Vincent knew him? Ngl, o!Ciel father is still a very shady man.
At first I thought you meant like, an actual dog (like the previous Sebastian, I know there's a theory they're in fact the same), but now I'm thinking maybe like Ciel is the Queen's "watch dog" ? :o sorry if I'm misunderstanding.
Like he already knew the family ? Honestly it's an interesting theory, after all Vincent knew UnderTaker already, and I wonder how much he knew about him and that he's not human. So why not ? Maybe he himself dealt in some shady black magic stuff. Or it was just a coincidence that Sebastian happened to be in a contract when he met the Phantomhives, and saw the twins when they were really young. I do love the trope of "we actually met before we (officially) met" so that would be funny to explore !
What do you think Undertakers final goal is? To bring Vincent back maybe? What relationship do you think he had with the Phantomhives to have such strong reactions to their passing?
That's a good question, I'm curious about it too.
We know he stopped working as a shinigami around 50 years before the current story if I recall ? maybe it was already because of the phantomhives family… or maybe he just got fed up and decided to run away, and then later met the phantomhives…
what if he's in love/fascinated by Vincent ? kind of a parallel to Sebastian and Ciel, where Sebastian is amused/intrigued by Ciel who keeps surprising him ?
At first he thought nothing of it, but Vincent kept making him laugh and he got attached. He couldn't save him, but he was fast enough to at least steal r!Ciel's corpse. The twins look a lot like their father, maybe that's why he got so involved in bringing r!Ciel back, to revive something from the man that brought some fun in his "life"…
But I wonder if that's not the "easy" answer that we're supposed to go for, and then Yana will hit us with another big reveal we didn't see coming ^^'
What do you think Lizzie is gonna do now that she realizes she's been fooled?
I wonder… She's stayed with r!Ciel the whole time of the blue cult ark, and only went back home after the truth was revealed and o!Ciel arrested, so maybe she'd stay with r!Ciel ?
But I can also see her taking her time away from him to realize she doesn't want to go through that arrangement at all anymore, after being betrayed that way and not knowing who she loves and can trust anymore. But not sure if her parents would accept it, given the implications of her marriage…
Poor Lizzie
Who do you think Polaris is?
Honestly, I have no idea. I read the manga pretty fast so I don't remember everything, but if I recall, isn't the only info we have about Polaris that they're a butler ?
Given we know the stars are bizarre dolls, and we've seen at least two to be people known to the main cast (r!Ciel and Doll, I don't recall if we saw the other stars…), maybe they're someone we know… I will admit my first thought when seeing the butler one was Agni but it's not logical since he wasn't dead yet and later Soma had him cremated.
But of the top of my head, outside of Sebastian and Soma, he's the only "butler" character I could think of. So maybe it's someone we haven't met at all yet ?
Sorry, I'm thinking outloud but I'm not very good at making predictions on events to happen ^^' I'm better (I think) at analyzing what we already have.
I kind of want a black butler AU where o!ciel also becomes a demon, breaking the contract in the process, but they still end up in the same roles and relationship because that's just become their (codependent) relationship and neither of them can or wants to change it. and even among demons, Sebastian's got the power to make sure no-one can mess with them or look down on them even if he's still playing butler.
Ooh I love this idea ! Maybe Sebastian refuses to go back to the demonic dimension because he doesn't want to be separated by Ciel if a summoning occurs, or if other demons don't approve of what happened, so they run away and hide among humans, traversing ages and traveling countries around the globe.
I love the idea of Sebastian teaching Ciel how to control his newfound demon powers.
Imagine Ciel getting angry, or his PTSD triggered, and he starts changing, black goo oozing from him, his teeth sharpening, his mouth widening, while the room around them become dark and everything starts shaking and Ciel doesn't even realize what he's doing as he's overwhelmed by his feelings and powers. Sebastian takes him in his arms and uses his powers to contain Ciel's, forcing him to stop.
