#kuro demonology

[fallenrayvens]

I’m having a hard time figuring out some things about what is actually needed for summoning a demon in the Kuroshitsuji canon, so I’m turning to fan opinion and headcanons instead.

Do you guys think any of the stuff the cultists did were actually a requirement? Or was the summoning all of o!Ciel’s doing (besides not actually being the one killing his brother, of course). I’m not talking about anything that comes after the summoning btw, just the summoning itself.

What do you all believe the recipe to summon a demon would be within Kuroshitsuji?

I FINISHED THEIR OUTFIT DOODLES YAYYYYYYY

From left to right, we haveeee:

Kiku Honda / Organizer: Kiku arranges everything and schedules their sessions! He was also appointed to hire new staff/group members but only ended up hiring one person, that being Feliciano. Kiku has a very mysterious, all-knowing air. Method of protection-> Talisman! 🗝️

Arthur Kirkland / Brains: Arthur knows all the occult knowledge the teams needs! Having an interest in the macabre ever since he was a child, Arthur has learned all about ghosts, spirits, demonology, you name it. He genuinely and full heartedly believes in the supernatural, making him susceptible to interference. Though he doesn’t explain why, sometimes Arthur knows things he shouldn’t. Method of protection-> Salt! 🔮

Feliciano Vargas / Seer: Feliciano is the newest member to their investigation team! His ability to see and speak to ghosts has become very useful in their sessions. It also helps that the first ghost he encounters with the team is incredibly good looking… But that’s besides the point! Activity seems to follow Feliciano, which makes tracking down artifacts and information easier! Method of protection-> Holy Water! 👁️

Alfred F. Jones / Brawn: Alfred is the team’s muscle! He carries their larger equipment, finds ways into abandoned places, and overall protects the team from any living threats! He’s a loyal and protective member, very dependable! Method of protection-> “THESE FISTS BABY!!!” (Intimidation) 🔦

Usually the team stays together, but when they have to split up, they’ve given themselves group names!

Arthur and Kiku: Team Kuro ->Neko<- Shiro! (said together “kuro shiro neko”) 🐈‍⬛

Feliciano and Alfred: Team BEAUTY AND THE BRAWN! 🦅

Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-

“Arthur? That’s your name? Well… I’ll continue haunting your dreams, calling out to you~ My Arthur~….”

That’s all the notes I have for right now!! Next I’ll be designing the ghosts!! I’m very excited to do that :D

Looking for a specific fic

So back in 2015, I think, I read a Blue exorcist/Harry Potter fanfiction on fanfiction.net, but I can not find it. The story was basically Rin is alone, all his humans friends are dead and for a long while he was trapped in this church eating people who would wonder in, until a young Dumbledore finds him and befriends and sets free. Then later in the future Dumbledore has Rin come in to teach I think Demonology, during the time when Umbridge came I think. No pairings, and no other exorcists, but you do see Mephisto, maybe Amaimon and Kuro. If anyone knows the stories name, the author, or even the link, please comment it! I have been searching for it for days!

Just expanding on Kuro demonology, because season two didn’t.

Summary:

Sebastian must bring it upon himself to regurgitate a sword. Claude comforts him. Hannah and the others watch.

I don’t know if you’ve answered this already, but what inspired you to write Wicked Game? What themes/other aspects from canon did you want to explore and expand on? Btw I’m sorry you’re not feeling your best today. Sending you good vibes 💕

Thank you for this ask! 🥰

I think I've mentioned my inspiration for Wicked Game before, but I could only find this post in regard to my inspiration for Sarah, so I'll answer your first question briefly and address the other one in more length.

The initial idea for Wicked Game just came from random daydreaming, which I have a habit of doing fairly often. It wasn't until the death of a close loved one that I really started looking at it as a potential story I would write. So, initially, Wicked Game was a coping mechanism, a way for me to process the grief I was feeling, and a way to get my feet wet with writing again (it is something I've always enjoyed doing, but dropped for several years). However, as I continued to explore the idea, the more it fleshed out into a legit story. Since then I've always had a general skeleton of an idea of how I wanted the story to progress, but the details and actual events have changed drastically (for instance, when I made my first outline, Menowin wasn't even a character and now he's integral to the story). Other inspiration for this story has come from works from or about the Victorian Era and my enjoyment of that time period in general.

As far as other themes or aspects from the canon material I wanted to explore:

Angelina Dalles: Madame Red is a character I've loved since I first saw the BB anime and came to appreciate even more once I read the manga. She was truly a woman before her time and I wish Yana had included her in the story more and hadn't killed her off when and how she did. So that was one of the major reasons why she's such an important character in WG. She's just such a fun character to write along with the fact that she's the older sister, almost mother figure, Sarah needed in her life after the untimely death of her mother.

O!Ciel's trauma: By this point in the manga we know that Ciel has been through hell and, fortunately, as the manga has continued Yana has begun to show little things that are ways Ciel is trying to cope with that trauma. But I wanted to focus on it even more in WG and I've striven to do that partly through Sarah's trauma. Now that Sarah is back in Ciel's life and he knows the truth about Italy, when his past trauma is going to be revealed to her, he's going to have someone who can actually comprehend what he went through. And, through that knowledge, he's going to have someone who can love him like no one else can. Plus this shared trauma only serves to strengthen the trust and love in Sarah and Ciel's relationship.

Life Downstairs: Since the story focuses primarily on Ciel and Sebastian's adventures and shenanigans, we don't get much of a glimpse of the servant's lives. Until the very tail end of the Book of Circus and in the Green Witch Arc, I'm sure many, like myself, were wondering why Ciel even hired the extra staff in the first place. I've always loved the dynamic and perfect illustration of the division of classes in Victorian society that's shown in the Upstairs vs. Downstairs life (which is why I enjoy other series like Upstairs, Downstairs and Downton Abbey), so it's something I wanted to explore further with WG. Plus I absolutely adore the servants and wanted to showcase them more, too! 🤗

Demons/Demonology: For as much as we've learned about the Reapers, we know even less about demons...and one of the main characters is a demon! While I think it's Yana's creative choice to do so and, to a point, I enjoy the lack of detail she's given, I still wanted to dive deeper into some sort of demonology for this story, especially considering the whole demon/human mating aspects that are part of WG. I've even developed a whole backstory for them (though how much actually makes it into the story, I'm not sure at this point). It's just not come up much other than in the snippets we've had so far of Sebastian's POV because Sarah doesn't believe in demons at this point and doesn't know he's a demon yet.

Grief: This is another aspect of Ciel's trauma that's not addressed enough in the canon material. Though, in part, I believe that's because we aren't always shown Ciel's inner thoughts, so we only see the cool, indifferent facade he portrays to the outside world. And, again, the grief in this story is experienced through Sarah's POV, but I believe is also connected to and can provide more insight into Ciel's grief as well.

Victorian life: This kind of ties in with the servant's aspect, but I've enjoyed showing the great differences in classes and genders and the moral stringency in Victorian society. I think it's easy with stories like Kuro and other period pieces to romanticize the era. Don't get me wrong, if you were among the wealthy elite, like Ciel, you had a rather decent life. However, if you belonged to the common masses, life was hard and sometimes downright shitty. Sarah's situation at the beginning of the story is a very real one a single, common woman of that time period would have faced. If you didn't have a man to provide for you, you either became a servant, a governess, a prostitute, or you died. Also things like scandal (whether that's Sarah's or Mey-Rin and Bard's potential scandal) and its implications were a real threat to both the noble and working class. I've really enjoyed having an opportunity to explore those aspects in more depth.

Thank you again for this ask and for the good vibes! I really appreciate it! 🥰 *hugs*

Fanfic recommendations for kuro????

Sure! It’s been ages since I last read black butler fic though, and I used to forget to bookmark things all the time back then so this is a very incomplete list. If anyone else has reccomendations, feel free to add on.

Memories of Murder by jolikawaiiciel

Precipice by thaliaarche

Burning Down The Public House by TheSightlessSniper

Simply Meant to Be by BlackRoseEden

Promises by BlackRoseEden (Mind the horror tag! And the “creator chose not to use archive warnings” tag. It gets pretty graphic if I’m remembering this one right, but I thought the concept was really cool)

Demonology by Lucyndareads (Hasn’t been updated in quite a while, but I remember liking this one)

[abybweisse]

I know this question will probably never be revealed in the manga so we will never know for sure but do u believe that Sebastian is a fallen angel? Or he was born a demon? But then that would imply that he had parents? Do you think demons were human at some point too just like reapers? I think that demons in kuro were spawns of some evil god but then I have my doubts .

I’ve written about Sebastian’s *possible* background numerous times. I see him as having never been an angel, being based instead on a demon that didn’t fall but perhaps was once another monster... but I agree we might never get to hear/read the full story of his origins.You might try searching my blog for #sebbythedemon, #marquis naberius, #cerberus, #president malphas, #count raum, #crow demon, #demonology, etc... or check out posts about him on my side blog @abybweissekurodemonology
