SNAAAAaaaakkkeee 😢😭

I almost never tell people in my real life that I like that Black Butler because of the weird fans. 😭

It could also have been caused somewhat by have to wear that chain on his ankle for so long.

pretty sure yana only draws ciel walking with a cane for the Vibes, but my headcanon-that-is-totally-canon says the cane serves as an actual disability aid

its likely he experienced damage in the cult that made it difficult for him to be on his feet for an extended period of time - clearly he can walk/run, there's just a limit on doing so pain-free

this is also part of the reason he doesnt like dancing!

I am a late comer to the Black Butler fandom (I have only been in it for about 2 years at most). But I have known about it for a while, basically since it the anime started airing because my older sister was watching it with our mom, and one time when I was really young, they were talking about it in the car and I think they were talking about what characters they found attractive and so from that conversation, my little kid brain put together that BLACK BUTLER WAS THE BACHELOR BUT WITH BUTLERS! 💀 Once I was older I did learn a lot more about it and had a lot of the major plot points spoiled to me before I read the manga myself and later watched the anime when it all came to Crunchyroll.

A while back, I got the Black Butler art books, and the scream I let out when I saw the Mononoke drawings!

Sorry for the poor quality. Also these are in book 1.

One of my favorite moments of foreshadowing (or I am just seeing things) in Black Butler, is back, in the Campania Arc, when Lizzy is flashing back to when Ciel said strong women are scary, YOU CAN SEE O’CIEL’S FEET! The rest of his body is hidden by a speech bubble.

YANA’ S BIGGEST PIECE OF FORESHADOWING YET!!!!

Pics from chapters 7 and 213 respectively.

a little experimentation

There is also a part in the Red Butler Arc, when Sebastian first gets hit with the death scythe, and in his memories, the part where Ciel is introducing himself is purposely obscured by a different speech bubble, so it reads like, “my name is ….” And in that same panel we see Ciel’s hand holding the ring covered in blood.

In retrospect, it's kinda funny how obvious the twin theory became in this arc, but back then I legitimately thought that the "other Ciel" in the chessboard scene was just symbolic for Ciel's past innocent self or something like that.
