Imagine Grelle briefly popping in at the manor around the Book of Murder arc because of the weird wombo combo of deaths listed for that night and... wait... INCLUDING SEBASTIAN MICHAELIS??

And when she arrives she comes face to face with some charming older man named Jeremy who meets her in the rain as if he heard she was coming, and he smiles amiably with a twinkle in those eyes and tells her.

"Fear not, madam. I have it on good authority that the tangles and twists going on under this mansion roof will work themselves out post haste."

And Grelle tries to come off as unbothered, waving him off.

"Ooh, I'm sure they will, good sir. I'm sure they will. This isn't my first dive into the doom and gloom of Phantomhive Manor.."

"Then whatever could have brought you out here, then, might I ask. Surely with that fine lovely suit you're wearing, you are a busy lady, I imagine."

"W-Well, yes, normally.." Grelle cannot believe this. This classy gent is taking her for a turn! Even if... unintentionally. Almost as if it comes naturally...

"However there's a man that works in the service under the Earl here, and I... erm.. fancy him you could say, hehee.."

DID YOU JUST GIGGLE GRELLE, LIKE A LITTLE GIRL???

"Ahh," Mr. Rathbone responds... Pauses as if in thought; as if caught off guard, and then.. his visage seems to turn solemn, eyes closing, head bowing.

"This man wouldn't happen to possibly be the head butler, would he?"

Grelle flounders and merely hums her ascent, nodding. She cannot, for the death of her, get over her own current state!

"Hmph, well, I'm afraid I must inform you that.. that very man has perished this evening. After a surprise attack last night on his evening patrol, while he was stoking one of the fireplaces."

"THAT-" Grelle shouts outright at first, looking absolutely scandalized by this news, finger pointing accusingly at the Vicar.

"That... that isn't true." She goes on, voice lower, shakier, but still firm.

The man still has his eyes closed. Not budging nor flinching an inch.

"I'm afraid it is, my dear. I've seen his lifeless form with my own eyes, by now. Though I was not present at the time of his death's discovery, everyone else in this manor was, and if you wish, you yourself can slip in to ask.."

He does then open one eye, that pins the reaper in place with it's stern and serious look.

"Might I suggest in particular the other servants that served under him, for they will most definitely will have something to say, I believe, to anyone who'd object to this wretched truth they must now live with."

His other eye opens then too, and his stern look appears even sterner.. If that is possible.

"Or perhaps the boy Earl himself who now appears even younger, weaker, without that butler by his side."

Grelle still frowned, having crossed her arms tightly during his spiel, and merely stared him down.

Gone was the floundering brief glimpse of a debutante-like version of herself.

And here stood a woman with even more questions than before.

"I'll have you know, Mister Jeremy, this butler in particular that I speak of, and I know is much more formidable than you've likely imagined possible. He. Can't. Be. Dead. It's.... IT'S. JUST. NOT. POSSIBLE, do you hear me??"

And again, the man still stood perfectly in place, not even blinking before the enraged woman as she snarled her insistences through sharp gritted teeth.

"Oh yes, I can hear you quite well, my dear. But it appears to me as if there's a clear barrier between what I'm telling you and what you are hearing. And perhaps it could be the wretched weather we are currently prithee to, or perhaps it's something possibly.. unseen at work. Like a certain foolish human device in ones chest cavity shouting above my words, drowning them out. But there's unfortunately nothing I can do about that. And alas,"

He swiftly took out a pocket watch, and checked the time.

"I must leave you to return to the others. As I explained earlier I've put it upon myself to help the Earl and his remaining guests solve this case, so,"

He clapped it shut, and looked up at the reaper again.

"I wish you well, madam, and pray that if perhaps we next meet it'll be on better terms. For both our sakes."

And his smile then at her was as smooth as a pearl, eyes closed and cheery wrinkles presenting themselves even more so.

He means only the best.. A voice insisted to Grelle, and she found her muscles relaxing.

Her eyebrows remained firmly pressed down, though, her mouth a single line.

"Yes," she heard her own voice murmur over the rumble of thunder, "for both our sakes, indeed."

And she automatically turned away as the man himself turned too.

Both parties quietly trudging away from the scene.

And yet Grelle's mind spun round and round at break-neck speed.

Something was definitely up here. For there was too many peculiar things going on in this one moment alone!

This Jeremy himself. A Vicar?? At Ciel Phantomhive's place?? In the middle of this storm that had likely been going on since earlier that day.. No, even since yesterday Grelle was certain the rain had been falling.

And his stance. How he was the one to come to her in this moment. Not any other servants! He was merely visiting wasn't he?? He surely wasn't planning on staying much longer after this event!

And and and..

Grelle wanted to hold her head and curl up.

He... He was either ACTUALLY the one somehow to KILL SEBASTIAN or.... or... OR....

...........

....

The pocket watch.

Jeremy Brett, Yana Toboso’s inspiration (along with Basil Rathbone) to portray the “vicar Jeremy Rathbone” on Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler Volumes 10 and 11, celebrated of what could be his 88th birthday yesterday (03 November). He was the quintessential Sherlock Holmes of the ’80s and one of the many Sherlock Holmeses who inspired (and played a significant part to) the next generations of SHs.

Amusingly, Yana T portrayed the signature Sherlock Holmes gestures one to one. The two volumes are a witness to that.

Yesterday’s Terrible OCiel Name Suggestion was...

Jeremy Phantomhive

“Rachel named him after the local vicar, Jeremy Rathbone. So when Sebastian pretends to be the vicar, our earl/Jeremy is saying his own first name. And when Vicar Rathbone says the boy’s name is unusual, he’s only talking about Ciel.”

The Final Curtain, Chapter Sixteen

Florentia and Theodosia

The next week was spent in preparation for investigating the Viscount Druitt. When Ciel received the invitation to the Viscount’s ball, he was shocked to find that the man had apparently decided to completely abandon all decorum.

“September and the beginning of autumn is nearly upon us, the season of plenty,” Ciel read the invitation aloud at the breakfast table. “In the spirit of bounty, I am opening this masked ball to the lower classes as well as the nobility. Even servants are welcome.” The earl tossed the letter onto the table and sipped his tea. “Well. I expect that means Matilda still has a chance to be the bait, then.”

Elizabeth struggled to refrain from rolling her eyes. “My previous logic still stands, Ciel,” she said firmly. “I am in the best position to do this job. Let’s have no more arguing about it, if you please.”

The earl was shocked at seeing Elizabeth’s assertiveness in this way. His cousin rarely had any qualms about voicing her opinion, but he couldn’t remember a time when those opinions had been about anything other than clothing. Had he been ignoring Lizzy’s intellect all these years? Or had she been hiding it?

While Ciel may have been stunned into silence, none of the others at the breakfast table had the same problem.

“It seems Lady Elizabeth is finally coming into her own, Ran Mao,” Lau remarked, breaking his scone in two. “This will be very interesting indeed.”

Ran Mao, in a rare turn of events, responded. “She is secretly tough. I like her.”

“Everyone underestimates Lizzy,” Prince Soma said from his chair opposite Ciel. “There is nothing wrong with being a lover of prettiness, but because she loves pretty things she is always dismissed. I am eager to see her succeed.”

Ciel remained silent, but he felt his anger well up inside him. Without his noticing, a billowing black shadow rose up behind him. The others at the table saw it, and they looked on in terror before Sebastian cleverly intervened.

“My lord,” he said, placing a hand on the boy’s shoulder. Instantly the shadow dissipated. “We must begin your lessons now. We have a great deal to do before the ball at the end of the week. And don’t forget, you have a meeting over tea with Florentia and Theodosia Loric this afternoon.”

Ciel sighed, still angry. “Yes, of course,” was all he said, dabbing his mouth with a napkin and leaving the table. Sebastian followed him closely, watching his master through narrow eyes.

It appears I have much to teach him, he thought to himself.

The earl’s anger did not abate with the passing hours. He, Elizabeth, and Prince Soma took their lessons together in the library now, with Sebastian and Agni presiding over them while Paula cared for Ephraim (with help from Bryony, as she was available now as well). This proximity to each other caused a good deal of unease between all three. Music, literature, business, diplomacy, fencing. Ciel had never felt such relief when the time came for his meeting with the Loric sisters.

After Matilda had persuaded Snake to hide elsewhere, she and Sebastian set a magnificent table in the greenhouse for the tea meeting. Sebastian explained the measures they had taken as he stood by Ciel before the manor, awaiting the arrival of their guests.

“We selected a specific set of china with many patterns but understated colors, as a nod to the sisters’ signature toys,” he said, noticing Matilda’s pleased grin. “In addition, we arranged a marvelous bouquet of day lilies and pink roses, with Finny’s help.”

Ciel nodded in apparent approval but said nothing as the carriage bringing the Loric sisters came up the path. When it reached the manor, the earl and the present Phantomhive servants were able to get a good look at the man driving it. He looked rather similar to Vicar Jeremy Rathbone, who they all knew now was merely Sebastian in disguise.

“That is the sisters’ butler, sir,” Sebastian whispered to Ciel, “Apparently he is a multipurpose manservant.”

The sisters emerged from their carriage, Theodosia first with Florentia following. They looked as if nothing had changed since the night at the ballet. Even the color of their dresses were the same; aubergine and aqua. The only possible change was that they seemed even more worn-out than before.

“Thank you, Treacher,” Theodosia thanked the butler, who nodded to her in response. Snake, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere and left his snakes elsewhere, guided Treacher to the stables where the horse could replenish itself.

“Treacher?” Ciel whispered to Sebastian before the sisters came too close. “What sort of a name is that?”

As they drew nearer, Sebastian addressed them. “Welcome to the Phantomhive manor, Lady Theodosia and Lady Florentia. It is our pleasure to have you.” he bowed, and the remaining servants followed suit.

“The pleasure is ours, sir,” Florentia replied, scanning the estate. “We are delighted to finally meet the esteemed Lord Phantomhive.”

“Yes, when Treacher informed us that we were to meet with you over tea and discuss a business collaboration,” Theodosia continued, smiling weakly. “We could hardly contain our joy. Indeed, we felt better than we had in months.” her smile faded.

Ciel furrowed his brow. Both sisters’ voices sounded fragile, like they belonged to women too sickly to be outdoors. Yet here they were, looking unmistakably ill but not in danger of collapsing. Pushing these thoughts aside, he gave the sisters a smile. “I have been looking forward to meeting you for some time,” he said, and found to his great surprise that for once he was being honest. “I have always admired the curios your company produces. I find it even more interesting that the two of you are, in fact, the inventors of the toys, not merely the heads of Kurios. Shall we discuss our business alliance over tea?”

As the three were escorted to the greenhouse, Ciel walked close enough to Sebastian to whisper to him. “Help me observe them throughout tea,” he said. “I’m sure they are sick, but ordinary people would be bedridden by this point, I believe. Surely whatever ails them cannot be a mere sickness of the body.”

“Yes, my lord,” Sebastian whispered.

Sebastian and Matilda had enlisted Agni to help with serving tea. While Sebastian pulled out the chair for Ciel, Agni did the same for Florentia, and Matilda for Theodosia. All four of them noticed how the sisters seemed to always grasp onto something for support, be it the back of the chair or even each other’s shoulders.

Ciel shivered. Watching the sisters struggle to accomplish basic tasks made something inside him quake. He exchanged looks with Sebastian. Something else was definitely afoot here, and whatever it was was alerting senses he didn’t know he had.

Sebastian poured the tea, saying “For today’s tea we have a soothing herbal blend known to heal most ailments.” He exchanged smiles with Agni and Matilda. The three of them had combined the healing tea and the curry bread in the hopes of curing whatever ailed the sisters. But as Ciel and the servants watched the sisters shakily take sips of tea and merely pick at the curry bread, as if they wanted to eat but simply had no appetite, their hearts sank. Matilda and Agni’s faces fell. Perhaps this would not be solved by ingestion.

Trying to ignore the strange prickling on the back of his neck, Ciel addressed the sisters. “As much as I enjoy your company, I do not wish to monopolize your time. Let’s get to business. I propose we work together first on an individual product and see how that works out before launching anything too elaborate.”

Florentia nodded in agreement and pursed her lips in thought before replying, “What if we could form a curio of Bitter Rabbit?”

“Oh yes,” Theodosia interjected, and she seemed to be trying her best to appear enthusiastic. It was clear, however, that she and her sister both were running out of energy. “And he could turn into all sorts of other Funtom creatures. Perhaps he could even turn into you?”

Sebastian just barely stifled a laugh. Ciel glared over his shoulder at his butler before raising a single hand and saying “I would prefer not to become a caricature. I like this idea in general though. If you like, I can compile a list of Funtom’s most popular character toys and have it delivered to you, and we can continue this project at a later date.”

Theodosia - whose eyes were beginning to dart back and forth ever so slightly - smiled and tilted her head. “Will we be seeing you at Viscount Druitt’s masquerade, Lord Phantomhive? If so, we could discuss the next step that evening.”

“That would be lovely-”

The earl’s reply was cut off by a coughing Florentia. The fiery-haired woman lifted a gloved hand to her mouth and coughed furiously, while her sister held her shoulders. The coughing was wracking her body violently. When she seemed finally able to breathe again, she pulled her hand away to reveal chunky brownish-red blood covering the white palm of the glove.

Matilda couldn’t help herself from gasping in shock. Unsure what to do, she produced a handkerchief from her apron pocket and extended it to the sisters. Theodosia meekly took it, nodding in thanks to Matilda and daintily wiping the blood away from Florentia’s mouth.

“I’m afraid we must be going now, Lord Phantomhive,” Theodosia apologized hurriedly, supporting her sister. “Will one of you please send for Treacher to bring our carriage around?”

Sebastian nodded and sprinted off in the direction of the stables. While awaiting his return, Agni decided to wrap the curry bread in one of the napkins for the sisters to take with them in the hopes that they would eat them later. He only knew of one instance where curry bread had not healed the sick, and that was when it failed to bring back Lord Phantomhive’s lost memories - which, he knew now, was the result of demonic activity, cancelling out the positive demonic activity of Sebastian’s recipe. Moments later the butler returned to the greenhouse, stating, “Your carriage is ready, my ladies.”

Theodosia tried to help Florentia to her feet, but she was too shaky herself to do it on her own. Ciel and the servants joined in to help the sisters on the short walk from the greenhouse to the carriage. As soon as Treacher saw them, he rushed forward to lend his hands as well.

“They just keep getting worse,” he said in an undertone to Sebastian. “I don’t know what is causing it, but every day they lose a little bit of their health, and I am helpless to cure it.”

After making sure the sisters were safely seated in the carriage, Agni gave Treacher the parcel with the curry bread. “Please do everything in your power as a butler to ensure that they eat this,” he instructed. “Even just a little of this curry bread can make all the difference.”

“I’m afraid I may have to keep this handkerchief, Matilda,” Theodosia called weakly from the carriage to the maid. “I think it is stained beyond repair.”

Matilda waved it off, insisting it was no problem. It was obvious to everyone present that Theodosia was far more terrified by what she had seen happen to her sister than she was letting on. Treacher snapped the reigns and they were off. The earl and the servants watched apprehensively, wondering what on earth would become of the Loric sisters, as the carriage thundered away into the distance.

Ciel’s eye darkened. “Sebastian,” he said, turning on his heel and storming into the manor. The butler was at his side as always, with Agni and Matilda following worriedly. Once they were inside the foyer, he looked at the three servants. “No ordinary illness could escalate that way, I’m sure of it. Lady Florentia coughing up all that blood makes me suspect a slow poisoning, but not by Treacher; I could tell his fear for the sisters’ wellbeing was genuine.”

Sebastian nodded. “You are quite right about that butler, my lord,” he confirmed. “He is a worthy butler, especially for a human. He cares for the ladies to the best of his ability. Whatever is wrong with them, he is not the cause.”

“I’m not so sure about poison, though, young master,” Matilda confessed, wringing her apron in her hands. “I would agree with you about Florentia’s blood, except... it was in chunks, as if tissue was coming out as well. To tell the truth, it almost looked like menstrual blood, but it didn’t smell the same. I was closer to her than any of you, I could tell.”

Agni rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “I’ve seen curry bread heal those afflicted by the forbidden spice,” he mused. “But if those sisters are coughing up blood and tissue... I don’t know how much it will do, or if it will do anything at all.”

Ciel shifted uncomfortably where he stood. “I felt the strangest sense of unease around them,” he admitted. “It was as of something else was hovering unseen behind them, something menacing. I have no idea what, but it made my entire body tense.”

Sebastian stared at his master. There was still so, so much he had to teach him. But not here. Not now. “Master,” he began, not at all liking what he was fixing to say and knowing that Ciel would not like it either. “If you recall, during the search for Jack the Ripper, Viscount Druitt was on our suspect list in the first place in part because he has a medical license. Surely even though he is not a practicing doctor, he may possess the necessary knowledge to find out the root of what ails Lady Theodosia and Lady Florentia?”

Ciel gritted his teeth. He wanted to argue more than anything, to remind Sebastian what a butcher the Viscount really was, even though he turned out not to be the infamous Ripper. But he knew his butler was right. “It’s a good thing the Viscount’s ball is open to everyone after all,” he growled angrily. “It appears we have more investigating to do than we thought.”

Sooo because I’m a big nerd and would rather find out where the Phantomhive estate is instead of going to class I did some googling and Vicar Rathbone’s church is actually Chichester Cathedral in West Sussex

Which means the Phantomhive estate is approximately here

#kuroshitsuji #black butler #chapter 132 #phantomhive #obviously thats a generous size the estate is probably smaller than that but i obviously dont know the exact borders #but tbh i've wondered about this for years #obviously this is only the case if yana intended it to be chichester cathedral and not just some smaller church she modelled it on #in which case ignore this post

Why is Rachel considered a masculin charecter?

Rachel's "masculine" character

That seems to be a common misunderstanding within the fandom, which I also fell victim to for a while. I think it stems from the English fan translation (perhaps even the French licensed translation?) about her in the Character Guide.

Yana-san tried to clear that up a while later, like in tweets or something, but it's still a pervasive misconception.

What Yana-san was trying to say is that Rachel is a strong-willed woman, much like Vincent says of the Phantomhive women. In "With Father" he was mostly talking about his sister and mother, but he probably chose to marry a woman who shares many of the same characteristics.

Rachel doesn't have the strongest physical health, given her severe asthma, but she's clearly (per the Character Guide and Vincent) the disciplinarian in the family, not Vincent. And we've seen her take charge of a situation when Vincent didn't know what to do or say (when real Ciel says he doesn't want to become earl anymore). She's also canonically the one who names the boys, since Vincent says so, explaining to the real Vicar Rathbone that he's no good with choosing names and that Rachel named their own sons.

She's also got a rather raunchy sense of humor (grabbing her little sister's boobs and being openly envious of her for her endowments). Madam Red might have developed her own naughty sense of humor partly influenced by Rachel's.

Idk exactly how the original Japanese words it in the Character Guide, but at least one translation came up with "masculine" to describe her personality. Like I said above, the fandom -- including me -- ran with it. I haven't deleted the old posts I made about it, but there should be reblogs or comments or both on some of the old posts, where I try to clear up the confusion. And there should be some newer posts, like this one, where I explain the misunderstanding.

Rachel's strong-willed and not particularly demure, with her occasionally raunchy and scathing wit. She takes charge of situations when her husband isn't sure what to do. She's the one who spanks the children when they misbehave, and so they fear her more than their father. Some would call this "masculine" of her... and that's possibly how the misunderstanding came about in the first place. She doesn't 100% fit gender norms of the Victorian era. But then again, who truly did?

Personally, I find characters who fit 100% to some stereotype to be one-sided and boring. Rachel strikes me as an interesting, multifaceted character. And we still hardly even know her....

11 July 2020 Peter Morris’s Camden Cloud House Approval

The Cloud House is the vision of architect Peter Morris and TV producer Emily Kennedy. This extraordinary fantastical architecture has been approved for small back street in Gospel Oak.

Peter and Emily have applied for permission to demolish their Victorian home in Vicar’s Road and replace it with two houses.

It is an interesting street, very eclectic, and not in a conservation area.

The couple had initially considered remodelling their homewhich dates from around 1880.

It does not function well, suffering from being damp, draughty and extremely difficult to heat.

The Cloud House will incorporate the current building by recycling its bricks to create a herringbone patterned floor.
