Hi, Chibi! I hope your day is going well! āŗļø Sorry for bothering you (and please feel free to ignore this ask if itās too much of a hassle), but I was wondering if you had any thoughts on flower language in the new keychains that are being released as part of the Rich Black merch?
My apologies for the late reply! It was not for lack of interest; on the contrary! Thanks for dropping such a fun question!
Well then, without further delays, let us dive into FLOWER LANGUAAAGGEEEE......... though be warned that I am actually pretty bad at recognising flowers. Since none of these keychains came with descriptions, all I can do is hopefully having identified the plant right, or search for flowers that look similar, and deduce which one it probably is based on the shape of the leaves, petals, and pistils. So if anyone happens to catch an error, please do help out!
Sebastian Michaelis - Pomegranate Flower
Sebas' flower is the pomegranate flower. In Japanese flower language it means "mature beauty" and "binding relation", or in other words, "contract". It might also be cheesy, but in Japanese "pomegranate flower" is "zakuro", and the sound of "zakuro" is likewise homophone of "The black" in Japanese. ( Ā“čøļ½)
(Also, I love Sebas' new costume here.)
Ciel Phantomhive - White Rose
White rose has many meanings in Japanese flower language, but the one most befitting with Ciel is probably "youth" and "beginning", but more negatively, "a new start after death".
For sure, it is a very befitting "flower description" of the unnamed sick boy who died, and "Earl Ciel Phantomhive" who got a new start.
Grell Sutcliffe - Lycoris
Beyond a shadow of the doubt, her flower is the Lycoris......cuz... you know, the āLycoris that Blazes the Earth" (ā½Ļā¼). In Japanese flower language, the lycoris stands for "passion" and "life energy".
A trivia that has nothing to do with flower language, it's just the etymology: the lycoris in Japanese is called higanbana (å½¼å²øč±), wherein "higan" means "the other side", as in "afterlife". So "higanbana" means "the flower on the other side". I think it is a nice little thing that Grell is represented as the flower on the other side.
If anyone is interested, at the bottom of this post I explained the meaning of Grell referring to herself as "the single red flower" in chapter 105.
Undertaker - White Lily
A very obvious and straightforward one. The white lily is quite commonly associated with ādeathā, and in Japanese culture it is not too different. (Traditionally in Japanese funerals they donāt need to be lilies at all; they just need to be serene, soft colours. Often orchids and chrysanthemums are used for traditional ceremonies. The white lily is probably popularised because of westernisation.)
White lilies are actually meant to represent āpurityā and āinnocenceā rather than ādeathā. Most likely, that these flowers only came to be associated with ādeathā, because people often use lilies to remember the deceased as a pure and innocent being during funerals.
Agni - Lotus
Agni is represented by the Lotus, which in Japanese flower language means: "untainted heart", "divinity" and "estranged love." In Buddhism-influenced Japan, Lotuses are seen as something very special for itās quality of remaining untainted.
Lotuses grow from deep mud. However dirty, when they emerge they are untainted by the soil. As the Buddha Shakyamuni taught, He too was born on the soil of the world, but lived and emerged, unsoiled by the world. #LotussesTooAwesomeForTheWorld
How āliving unsoiled from the originā reflects upon Agni is clear, but what I also find heart-wrenchingly beautiful is the āestranged loveā part. Agni was estranged from his direct home, then later from his home country, but he had his Prince whom he loved and respected. Now.... heās gone however... where is his love going? Surely itās still around somewhere! But from where will it come?
Okay from this point on is when I need your help.
Joker - Garden Rose
I am not sure, but I THINK these flowers are the Garden Rose...? because of the rumpled petals and the butterfly-shaped leaves. (Correct me if Iām wrong! I mean, I probably am)
I am very sorry to say that I canāt even find this type of flower in Japanese. If I google āGarden Roseā in English I canāt find the Japanese name of this plant, so I canāt look up the flower language...
Charles Grey - Different White Rose?
I....... These flowers look like white roses, but theyāre a bit more solid around the centre and open around the edges... so itās not the clearly defined petal-type ofĀ āclassicā white rose like Cielās...
But I wouldnāt know what these would be then. Someone help me? My apologiesssss m(_ _"m)
Wolfram Gelzer - Monkshood
FINALLY a flower again I can identify. Iāll eat something if this flower isnāt Monkshood, cuz you know why? It is also known as āWolfās baneā ( Ā“čøļ½) (Yes, I am half woman half dad, okay?)
In Japanese flower language, the Monkshood represents āchivalryā, āgloryā āhatred for peopleā and ālearningā. I find it beautiful how this deeply flawed puppy who is working so hard on himself to be good has a flower that represents ālearningā. āHatred for peopleā is also befitting, because being indoctrinated in fantasy-Nazi Germany, youād come to hate people too. Cuz people can be awful.
I am just not sure how far Yana dug into the āwolfās baneā part though... because monkshoods are very poisonous, and historically used as wolf-killers by cover raw meat in monkshood juice. Hmm...... Oh well!
Well, that was that! I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed making this! Again, if anybody knows the answers to the flowers I couldnāt identify, or catches a mistake, please do help me out! (*Ā“ā½ļ½*)ć

Kuromyu Masterpost
All right, hold onto your butts, people. By popular demand, hereās the full extent of everything that I have related to the various Kuroshitsuji Musicals. Itāll be updated as I work-on-slash-obtain more things, and Iām linking this post on the sidebar of my blog as well, to be easily located.
Everything except the original Lycoris file is going to be posted to my 4Shared account. Hopefully Iāll have enough space for everything. (Lycoris is just a few megabytes over the individual size limit and will be on my Google Drive instead.)
Ā Any subtitles will be in .ass format (yes, I know, lol, etc. XDDD), which means that they will play automatically if they are in the same folder and have the same name as your video file. I recommend the VLC video player; it doesnāt work with Windows Media Player for some reason. Everything will have the correct file names when downloaded, and every subtitle file will have credits for the translations. And if anyone wants to volunteer some translations for the backstage stuff, Iād put together sub files and be eternally grateful.
Placing everything under a cut for easy editing purposes.
