i joke about ociel thinking he's his dad's age a lot but like really he does. something so heartbreaking about the fact that whenever ciel references his own age it's like he's making an inside joke- dryly reminding the dinner party in book of murder that children have early bedtimes, for example. as if his age is a mere technicality, it's inaccurate on some level but is still a loophole he can exploit when convenient. Feigned innocence.
Because in kuro youth primarily functions as an axis of powerlessness. Ciel can't act his age or he's delegitimized. It's just another wall he's built between his persona and his actual self. To be Earl Ciel Phantomhive The Queen's Guard Dog he buries his age, his name, his illnesses........ idk it just always gets me that he isn't only borrowing from his brother, but his father as well. Anybody but himself. He really believes it, too, that any lie can become the truth with enough dedication and hard work.. He's so good at deluding himself. But he's not a grizzled 34 year old detective :( hes just a baby :(

Hinny - ❤️
AU, where Hinny grew up together, and Harry asks Ginny if she'd go to her first Hogsmeade with him. Ginny gives him an amused look and tries to explain that they've been sneaking out to Hogsmeade together since her first year, but Harry tells her it's different this time. Then he officially asks her out on a date while nervously playing with her fingers (he's had this nervous tick since they were kids).

biggest jaehaerys flop moment as king (rather than husband and father) is when his wife, THE QUEEN, went to the citadel (his wife who is notable for being the proponent and biggest driving force of some of the main reforms of her time) and she said "hey why don't the girls get to go to the citadel" and immediately got laughed off the stage by the weird wizards and didn't get back up by anyone
(same citadel that her son attended btw)

reading tftsa is always an emotional experience especially when you get the short stories focused around the Blackthorns because the absence of Mark just bleeds out. like when you read about Julian being Helen's suggenes and Simon being the witness to Julian's parabatai ceremony you are just burdened with the knowledge that that's not who they would have picked if the circumstances were different. in a different life it was Mark.

I love kabru like he’s established as this manipulative and shady person with ulterior motives who could be a major threat to laios’s party, but he also is one of the most empathetic and kind characters in the series and does his best to try and help everyone bc he is one of the people who understands the situation the best. and I think ppl are too focused on the first part they forget the second part. (Anime onlies are ok bc you guys haven’t gotten his character development yet ^^)
Also his party getting wiped out constantly in the beginning was funny as fuck
