blackbutlercharacterpoll2023 - Tumblr blog

[blackbutlercharacterpoll2023]

hello :) this may be an odd question, but about half way through your polls i began to wonder if there was a correlation between the most popular characters and their perceived attractiveness, so i thought "why dont i run a poll myself and see!", but before i did so i just wanted to check if that was ok with you first since it was inspired by your polls and blog to begin with. I will not be using any of your own edits or anything else, just mentioning this blog in the description of the blog i will be running the polls off of, @kuroshitsuji-attractiveness-poll. if you are not ok with it thats totally fine just lmk :) <3

Hi there! Hmm, curious idea... I'm not entirely sure what will be revealed to be honest, as almost all of Kuro's main adult characters are conventionally attractive or good-looking, and almost all the characters who are less attractive are not around very much or have less important/emotional roles. Also, one of the top three characters from this poll is a cat. But I'll be posting even more results info eventually for analyzing, which may also prove or disprove your theory.

In any case, sure, it's okay with me - though polls and info don't belong to me, so I don't think you'd need my permission, but it's thoughtful of you! Have fun!

At last, it's time for the final awards to be doled out to those who deserve them more than anyone! It's our

As you may imagine, the Most Adored awards go to characters who received the most "Like" and "Love" votes combined. Let's start with our 10th, 9th, 8th, and 7th most adored characters first!

10th place - Tanaka (293 votes) 9th place - Ronald Knox (318 votes) 8th place - Sebastian Michaelis (321 votes) 7th place - Bitter Rabbit (337 votes)

And now...

6th place - Soma Asman Kadar (343 votes) 5th place - Finnian / Finny (355 votes) 4th place - Mey-Rin (374 votes)

And proving that Tumblr really treasures animal characters, our third place is the one Sebastian would have put in first if he could:

3rd place - "Her" (394 votes)

Next is the one who ended up not changing from Yana's Devil's Six, the sonboy of all time, the oister boyster, it's-

2nd place - "Ciel" Phantomhive / O!Ciel / Our Ciel (454 votes)

And finally... You know her... You love her... or at least the majority of you do... She needs no introduction but she'll always deserve one, just like she deserves her own cover... It's our first place winner-

-with 539 votes! For her, I'll bring out my shitty editing skills - I'm only sorry I couldn't do better, because she surely deserves to wear this ribbon. You're the lady of our hearts, Grelle! We can't wait until you come back in the manga and we can see you in all your glory again. Congratulations on being this poll's favorite Kuro character!

And thank you again to everyone who participated in the voting! This took more than two months to plan and execute and it's amazing to finish it up, but it never could've happened without you. Happy 200th chapter! Let's keep going strong, Kuro fandom!

[blackbutlercharacterpoll2023]

It's time for the final two votes to be revealed: the Most Despised awards and the Most Adored awards! Let's start with

The Most Despised awards go to characters who received the most "Dislike" and "Hate" votes combined. You know the drill!

10th place - Queen Victoria from season 1 (114 votes) 9th place - Arnold Trancy (127 votes) 8th place - Ciel Phantomhive bizarre doll / Real Ciel / R!Ciel (128 votes) 7th place - Doctor (148 votes)

6th place - Claude Faustus (156 votes) 5th place - Angela Blanc (166 votes) 4th place - Former Head Trancy (195 votes)

Huh, something weird just happened to these medals... I wonder why that is...

3rd place - Baron Kelvin (203 votes)

Wow, that sure is a strange thing that is going on ! So strange. Golly

2nd place - the cultists (221 votes)

Oh I don't have any control over this, sorry guys ! I wonder if the next medal will be okay?? Because in first place for Most Despised is

1st place - Aleister Chamber / Viscount of Druitt (242 votes)

Oh whoa, I think Druitt's medal actually turned directly into a portal to hell?? It must be the power of our hatred! Wow, when we set our minds to it, we can really do anything...

Boy, all that fire and brimstone made it pretty stinky in here. At least it's almost time for something not stinky: the Most Adored character polls a.k.a. our true overall Devil's Six! You might not be very surprised but I think you'll enjoy it...

[blackbutlercharacterpoll2023]

What about the most indifferent? 😂

You know, I have to admit that I initially just decided the results were so boring that it didn't deserve any pomp and circumstance, but heck it we'll do it live

10th place - Green House dorm master (86.3636%) 9th place - Charles Bennett Sato (86.8056%) 8th place - Chef Tarpin (86.8571%) 7th place - Lord Ridley (87.2881%) 6th place - Akashi (88.8112%) 5th place - Carter (88.8889%) 4th place - McDowell (89.0411%) 3rd place - Stella Rose (89.3491%) 2nd place - Chef Lach (89.5425%) 1st place - Lord Ackroyd's son (90.3030%)

RIP Lord Ackroyd's son, trapped in that sarcophagus and for what

[blackbutlercharacterpoll2023]

Now we're going to mix things up a bit and have a vote that can only be calculated using this horrible thing called math. Coming up is

"Most Controversial" character medals are decided by calculating the difference between Love/Like votes and Dislike/Hate votes. Another stipulation was that either the Love/Like vote total OR the Dislike/Hate vote total had to be higher than Indifferent/Who? vote total.

Did I explain that well enough? I hope so. First, let's show 10th-7th place:

10th place - Hilde Dickhaut (41 Love/Like to 70 Dislike/Hate) 9th place - Peter (76 Love/Like to 49 Dislike/Hate) 8th place - Al (52 Love/Like to 78 Dislike/Hate) 7th place - Blavat Sky (95 Love/Like to 72 Dislike/Hate)

6th place - Ciel Phantomhive bizarre doll / Real Ciel / R!Ciel (147 Love/Like to 128 Dislike/Hate) 5th place - demon Ciel (96 Love/Like to 83 Dislike/Hate) 4th place - bizarre dolls (55 Love/Like to 66 Dislike/Hate)

3rd place - Pluto (76 Love/Like to 80 Dislike/Hate)

2nd place - Charles Grey (88 Love/Like to 91 Dislike/Hate)

And the characters that are apparently more controversial than Charles Grey are...

1st place - the "werewolves" (63 Love/Like to 65 Dislike/Hate)

(But I would still say there may be more contention for Grey and Pluto, even with the numbers as they are 😜)

All right, it's time for the final part of the award ceremony, the moment you've all been waiting for with breath so bated and toes so tapping: the Most Despised and Most Adored vote results! I'll have them in separate posts but will release them fifteen minutes apart instead of an hour. That way you won't have to sit around with a bad taste in your mouth too long after the Most Despised are revealed. Just one more hour to go!

[blackbutlercharacterpoll2023]

Nice to focus on something more pleasant after all that beloathing. Now just remember, this isn't the final standing for best characters. These are, instead, the characters who are

The Most Beloved awards go to characters who received the most "Love" votes total. 10th-7th place can start us off!

10th place - Elizabeth Midford / Lizzy (210 votes) 9th place - Sebastian Michaelis (241 votes) 8th place - Agni / Arshad Satyendra Iyer (245 votes) 7th place - Soma Asman Kadar (252 votes)

6th place - Mey-Rin (273 votes) 5th place - Finnian / Finny (278 votes) 4th place - Bitter Rabbit (280 votes)

3rd place - "Her" (352 votes)

2nd place - "Ciel" Phantomhive / O!Ciel (376 votes)

And this may just come as no surprise but...

1st place - Grelle Sutcliff (436 votes)

Grelle has always presented as quite the Tumblr icon, and this just proves it, as her love votes blew everyone else out of the water. Congrats, Grelle, you have a place in our hearts 😌

There is more than one way to measure votes, however, and that's the percentage of votes that were love votes. If I were calculating medals that way, the first prize would actually go to...

... the cats Sebastian rescued from the rain, with 85.04% votes in the love category!

The main reason that I mention that is because the next ceremony will be for Most Controversial character, which is measured by the ratio of Love/Like votes to Dislike/Hate. See you in an hour for more!

[blackbutlercharacterpoll2023]

It's time to get despicable. Here's the awards for

3rd place - Former Head Trancy (188 votes)

1st place - the cultists (211 votes)

Boy, lotta jerks here! They really don't deserve awards at all, do they? Well, forget them. Let's move on to some characters who do deserve awards.
