WOAH, THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL

Danganronpa is 10 today! 

#danganronpa #decadeofdespair #i want to rewatch the whole gameplay again

[fantomsnight]

I've finally found someone who shares my love for the idea of Ciel & Sherlock being bored detectives on the trope of their nemesis (lovers in denial) Sebastian & Moriarty! I haven't yet watched the whole Moriarty the Patriot but! I! Love! It! Everything that's connected to those two anime and Sherlock Holmes is just 👌

IKR???😳😭😭😭

Like, every time I saw any Black Butler character being mentioned in Moriarty The Patriot post (this kind of post does exist tbh, but it's just a meme most of the time. But still...), I realized just how badly I wanted to read a MTP×BB crossover fic 😭😭😭😭😭 There are actually 2 MTP×BB crossover fics that I've ever read in AO3 under the same author. They're not my favorites, but it's still 1 hell of a ride, I still love it, & bookmarked them (this is how grateful I am when I found out someone actually wrote a crossover fic between these 2 mangas😅).

But when I'm thinking about Sebastian as Lord of Crime in your AU, I just can't imagine him being depressed sad-boy like Liam because unlike Liam who keep calling himself demon, Sebastian's a demon STRAIGHT from Hell, & he has no reason to feel guilty about his crimes because he can't feel human shit. He probably kill that rich nobleman because of boredom🤔😂😂

Anyway, I also can't stop thinking about this AU (every night lol) where Sherlock & Liam has to work together to solve a case of missing children & satanic cult. & Then when they're already at the location, it's already too late. They entered the ritual room just in time to see someone stabbed a child on an altar. Both Liam & Sherlock just stood there, completely frozen because the shock while the cults in that room shouting at them, asking what the hell are they doing in that room.

& then Ciel appears.

Yes, I'm talking about demon!ciel. This demon!ciel in this AU is still seeking for revenge, & still pretty determined to finish the contract because it's the only way to free sebastian from himself (sebastian & ciel's relationship in this AU is also pretty angsty because this demon!Ciel still can feel human emotions, & he feels guilty about what happened to sebastian & their contract after season 2's incident).

The satanic cults unknowingly just summoned demon!ciel, & Ciel was pretty mad when he see his surroundings. But there's another reason why he's mad. The one who summoned him was none other than the child who just got sacrificed on the altar, & he was summoned to the ritual room just in time to see the child draw his last breath (which leaves him masterless, & that pissed him off cus he's unable to save the child)

Btw I forgot to mention that the sacrificed child also reminded Ciel of his brother (yes, R!ciel does exist in this AU & he's still dead), & he got some sort of PTSD episode after he saw the child.

Soo yeah.... All Hell break loose, & all Sherlock & Liam can do was go somewhere to hide & watch the bloodbath (they knew better than to interrupt an angry demonic child who's about to unleash his rage😈)

I can go on 🙂

quiet time

I’ve seen a writing prompt about training a flock of crows so that they can bring you money, golden coins and other valuable things and now I've got an idea for possibly Sebaciel AU (but it can be also a general crime story without any ship). Imagine: Ciel is an unsuccessful detective. He once or twice solved a case, but it wasn’t very thrilling or worth mentioning. Sure, Ciel was intelligent and ambitious, but the cases he got didn’t require much thinking or being so involved to the point he couldn’t sleep at night. No, his clients mostly wanted to spy on an unfaithful lover or find a thief who dared to steal their money or family stuff that didn’t hold much value. That's why Ciel, out of boredom (or maybe even desperation), started training a raven that had been appearing in his office window since he solved a case that was worth no more than his old shoes.

At first, it was quite fun to do so. Ciel would open the window, feed the big, proud raven that looked in his eyes as if it very well knew what he was going through, and then for the rest of the day he would show the raven magpie’s nest with a few unfinished cigarettes, half-eaten sandwich and a coin. He didn’t think he would teach that raven anything, really – nevertheless, it was still a bird. A wise one, yes, but an animal. Not much to expect.

That’s why Ciel was so surprised the first time his raven brought him a coin. It cawed at him, almost as if wanting attention. Ciel looked out of the window and saw that the magpie's nest was no longer there. At least, not in a way it was before. Not carefully built, with moss, feathers and grass. Now it appeared that the hurricane went through the nest or some sort of a predator tore down the magpie's home. Ciel didn’t give it much thought.

What worried him was that the raven started bringing him more and more things. At first, it was innocent; a few pounds, maybe a rusty pendant, an old cigar lighter and a green-dyeing ring that surely wasn’t silver as it seemed. Nothing too important, although Ciel couldn’t figure out where the raven hunted to snatch those items or if it stole them from people or just found them on the street.

It was after three weeks that his raven gave him a bloodied finger with a golden ring. Ciel didn’t look at what he brought this time, he just heard the knocking on his window and reached out for another unimportant piece of jewellery, focused on the letter that the queen sent. The raven didn’t make a noise while he touched the finger, felt the dry skin near the nail and sticky meat that wouldn’t stop dripping blood. 

Ciel looked at it, brows furrowed, heart starting to race, feeling that something was wrong. And then, he gasped. A sound so muffled that a crow didn’t even look at him, and needless to say, so without any hint of real emotions that were flowing through him, that when the raven took him to the crime scene, Ciel started to think; was he really that emotionless? Or was he so overwhelmed with excitement that he didn’t even feel pity for the poor, murdered man that was laying in front of him like a mannequin straight from the books?

His raven, though. His raven landed on the still chest, head askew, pointing at the hand without a finger, demonic eyes searching for appreciation from his former teacher. Appreciation that never came aloud, although the raven knew, as much as Ciel did too, that it was what they wanted (needed). A murder.

(So yeah, long story short, this raven turned into Sebastian, who is obviously still a demon. He killed the rich man so Ciel could solve the case with him and gain the popularity he deserved. Of course, Sebastian needed something in return. What was it, I don’t know, I’m not creating another story while I’m working on the other three)

OH. MY. GOD. THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL. MY FAVOURITE ART FROM YOU. It really looks like it could be used as a picture in a fairytale. You're so talented I can't

Day 2 of @sebacielreincarnationweek 

Crossover / Fairytale

What big teeth you have… All the better to eat you up with.

My first entry for this event <3 

I chose Little Red Riding Hood au (golden classic) with hungry, big teeth Sebastian. Shadow of a wolf following Ciel, making it one teasing game…

It´s a bit different from how i usually draw but I hope you enjoy !

#i've been looking at it for five minutes now #amazing art #as always

[fantomsnight]

can we pretend to leave, and then

we’ll meet again

when both our cars collide?

Ciel at some point of their relationship, probably

Ciel after watching season 2 wondering if he really can fit inside a suitcase

#whatcha doing step bro

[fantomsnight]

YESSS, EXACTLY. Sometimes I even get vibes from Harry Potter movies, especially from the Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows. It just sounds so magical and mysterious

[fantomsnight]

And then delete what you think is garbage, add something that you hope will last for a few days before you delete it again, and when you're finally done with your chapter, you think you're an amazing writer and everything's perfect. Of course, after a month you look at that chapter again and think to yourself "could be better". You open a new document and the cycle repeats.

#my daily writing routine #especially now #because my kuroshitsuji crime story must be perfect #and of course it won't be #but i still have hopes

Yeah, umm, I think I made a cursed photo

The Book of Dorks

[fantomsnight]

I'm done with myself. I had a draft for my Sebaciel crime story (because yeah, I'm in love with the idea of Kuroshitsuji being inspired by Sherlock Holmes) with almost every character and relationships between them, their personalities, what they do for a living, where they live and how they live, BUT I DIDN'T SAVE THAT. This draft itself could be a short story with about 1k+ words, so I'm even more mad at myself.

I guess, when I calm down and write that again (saving this draft every 5 minutes), I'll post a quick summary of what I want this fic to be. Wish me luck.
