this manga gave me an existential crisis. recommend
the post is up! give it a wee read if you have the time.
it goes without saying please please please do not steal my work or any work from any creatives on this platform.
i started writing this back in october a good three days from when the assignment was due because, idk i’m just stupid like that.
it took a lot of hard work so p l e a s e, i beg of you.
you can read, ask questions, take inspiration from ..!
but don’t try to copy/imitate from creatives especially without discussing what you’re trying to do with their works.
anyway, uhhhh…
enjoy?
reposting is fine though, just remember to credit me
okay byeeeee
hello lads, i’m just dropping by to post another short story i did earlier this year for my creative writing unit that i only just realised gives off “saltburn” and tyler the creator’s “igor” vibes :)
it is my retelling of what went down in the garden of eden, told from adam’s perspective. in this iteration, adam is confused and overwhelmed with his infatuation with eve, he worships her but also despises her.
if anyone is interested i can do a breakdown of the themes and explicit references to events from the holy bible i scattered throughout the story. it’s definitely my favourite thing i’ve written in a long fucking time and i’m super excited to share it with you guys :3
it’s a bit of a long read so i’ll post it separately after this uhhh announcement thingie??
anyway, thank you lads for your time :3
note: keep in mind i will add warnings/tags to this story there are some themes that aren’t exactly appropriate for everyone so viewer discretion is advised :0
Gay people are always so dramatic. Bro what DO YOU MEAN "I saved your mother in every timeline because you save me in every timeline"
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO
WHAAAAAA

THATS SO COOL TUMblr
VERY COOL INDEED
woah why’d it do that with my formatting.
ew.
BUT VERY COOL EHEHEH
GRRRR WOOF BARK BARK ABSJDKDKDJDJDBARH
that’s it. that’s the post.
i like to ramble about nonsensical things.
i hope you like to do the same.
*mwah*
have a good day :3
or don’t. i can’t tell you what to do :}
even though i’m writing this as a try to ward off an anxiety attack and existential crisis, i just wanted to speak a few things into the void today.
this message is as much for me as it is for you, or anyone who needs to see this today.
without further ado,
i want to learn to let go. i want to master it to the point where it is as easy as breathing.
i know i’m not quite there yet, and how im feeling today is a testament to that. i’m so tired of feeling so exhausted from doing nothing.
i feel like i’m living my life half awake sometimes. i don’t want to be passive and numb to all the beauty in this world.
i want to learn to let go. i want to perfect it to the point where i don’t even recognise myself doing it.
my time on this earth is too precious, to hold on to the pain that comes with being alive.
my peace of mind is precious. i am precious.
i am loved, i am not difficult to love.
the more i let go, the lighter i’ll feel. the more awake i’ll become. the more i let go, the more i’ll feel.
I am terrified that new fans are gonna come in (especially from twitter...shudders) and start screaming the same thing's we've been hearing since forever, so let me reiterate some things for you guys
there is nothing we can do about the seb*ciel fans. we hate them. any normal black butler fan hates seb*ciel. block the tag
most of the anime is NOT CANON. I think only e1-6 and 13-15 are canon to the manga, and even the ending of episode 15 was changed. season 2 is not canon. the OVA's are not canon. what is canon is book of circus, book of the atlantic, book of murder and the public school arc.
do not be weird about any of the characters in the public school arc oh my god those are minors (apparently the p4 are over 18, but like. still.)
do not say that you "want maurice cole to die" or "wish he had alois' trauma" that is fucking weird. I understand that maurice is not a well-liked character but that is not an excuse to say you want a CHILD to suffer
the public school arc is not a glorified version of harry potter. knock it off.
for the love of GOD do not give gregory the virgil sanders treatment i am begging on my hands and knees he is just shy and artistic not your little storm cloud
black butler is a very dark and triggering story. there are a lot of triggering themes within the manga (moreso the anime I have to be honest). if these themes upset you, then it may not be for you. that is okay. you're allowed to not like it and not interact with it. however, this doesn't mean that you should start screaming and yelling that other people shouldn't watch it either (this is more of a twitter issue but I digress)
okay now for some general reminders
if someone ships something you don't like (NOT talking about proship shit, thats nasty), i.e. sebastian x william or whatever. who cares. if you don't like it, then don't interact with it. simple as that!
this does not go for people who ship minors and adults you guys are fucking freaks
you don't have to like someone else's au. again, don't like, don't interact. it's easy
grell is a transwoman. this is not up for debate and is canon. yes, he/him pronouns are used for her in the anime and manga. NONE OF US LIKE THIS.
what sexuality / gender / race someone headcanons another character as is none of your business unless they're falling into harmful stereotypes
sascha's gender is not canon. most people use they/them for them (me included), but some use he or she. since they are not canonly nonbinary, this isn't an issue. however, please respect if someone uses they/them exclusively on them!
william is NOT abusive OH MY GOD PLEASE STOP SAYING HE IS. in the anime he is like, super brutal on grell for some reason? he only ever "hits" grell once in the manga (after her stunt as jack the ripper") and then jabs her twice with his scythe in the manga. he has never struck her. so stop. please. I love him so.
you don't have to accept the fanon (or canon really lol, that's why au's exist), there is no obligation
if someone says that bb is their special interest or hyperfixation your first instinct should not be to shit on them for it
DO NOT HARASS THE ENGLISH VOICE ACTORS, PLEASE PLEASE
don't harass the play actors either now that I'm here
like and reblog art, leave comments and kudos on fanfics
be normal for the love of god
okay that's it! byeeeee
