I See What You Did There

I see what you did there 👀

I am not funny

A lot of my lore and design for the ardens is something I thought of myself without basing it off something else. However there will still be some things that I overlook and later think a lot about.

One of these things is the last name arden because when I decided on that last name for my three siblings, I didn't notice that there was already a canon character with that same last name. It took me around a year to notice this and when I did, I was like: "shit now I have to make him part of the lore". And fortunately it fits in quite well.

The second thing that continues to bother me to this day is alois because he and percy have a striking resemblance design wise. Percys design was based off characters like killua from hunter x hunter or mikhail from vanitas no carte because I always liked the fluffy, white hair with a lot of his colors being green because that's his favorite color. But now anytime I see fanart of alois (or worse, cosplays) i just immediately think about percy because they're both different shades of blond, around the same age (alois is probably a bit older though) and have a somewhat similar hairstyle. And it was all completely unintentional.

I've been thinking about drawing them together for shits and giggles because of that little joke now. Though alois and percy are so different personality wise, percy would be quite intimidated and shocked by alois bold and often times rude honesty. And especially by how easy it is for alois to just flirt with someone (I think he did act quite flirty and cheeky with lizzy to piss of ciel), percy would be like :0 since that's what he struggles the most with

When you're younger than 21 and you step off the casino pathway—

God I unironically wish we could've gotten a Black Butler cinderella OVA cause it would've been so funny

With Sebastian as cinderella and Ciel as the stepmother and Viscount Druitt as one of the evil stepbrothers (who gets injured like twice in the story) (cause he's a piece of shit and deserves it)

Grell would be the prince(ss) charming looking for her prince/princess/sexy demon boy or whatever (much to Sebby's annoyance and dismay)

One day I wanna see Sebastian totally lose that restraint.

how did sebastian not burst out laughing when ciel did this??

CONTENT WARNING: STALKING

A lot of brewskis have noticed my slow down these last few months and this is the major reason for it. Yes, a person at my work has been following me at the beginnings of my shifts and has not gotten any repercussion. I don't feel safe anymore. My partner and I are moving, but even still we don't feel comfortable with me working at that place, however it's difficult as I don't have a college degree and this place pays more than most jobs around here.

We have some plans in place, but I'm financially struggling. I hate to do this, but I created a ko-fi to help with relocation and to help stifle some of the burden of quitting this job. All the money would go towards things like rent, groceries, and car payments. I do have a Patreon, but it isn't bringing in enough to help with this issue and I'm debating about deleting it due to me not being able to keep up with things over there.

Anything helps, but don't donate if you can't---reading this and sharing it will be a massive help still <3
