FREAK

link to the poll

i saw someone say that most people don't like alois, and it made me wonder what the general opinion looks like for other characters. to keep the poll short, i chose 25 most popular characters or those i think might be more polarizing and can be placed into 6 categories: like/dislike/top 3 favorites/top 3 most hated/don't know/neutral.

there’s no way to limit the columns so that there’s a maximum number of answers in the top 3 sections, so if more than three characters appear in "top 3," i simply won’t count the extra ones when calculating the results. also, you don’t have to force yourself to pick a top 3 from the listed characters. those columns can simply be left empty.

i'll post the results somewhere in about a week. 

Works go here!

Saw this, looks fun!

… yeah, that tracks.

Soft tagging @blockcat-safari, @jackdraw-spwrite, @cityofangeisislying, @audioeidolon, @venusplantt, @bardicc-inspo and @voidindite in case they would like to play along :)

I’d say it’s spot on 👀🫡

LMFAO OF FREAKING COURSE…

@fengsuave123 and i’m afraid i have very little

"Kill your darlings" means "if something is holding you back, get rid of it, even if it sounds pretty."

That's it! That's all it means! It means if you're stuck and stalled out on your story and you could fix the whole block by removing something but you're avoiding removing that thing because it's good, you remove that thing. That's the darling.

It does NOT mean

That you have to get rid of your self-indulgent writing

That you should delete something just because you like it (?wtf?)

That you need to kill off characters (??? what)

That you have to pare your story down to the absolute bare bones

That you have to delete anything whatsoever if you don't want to

The POINT is that you STOP FEELING GUILTY for throwing out good writing that isn't SERVING THE STORY.

The POINT is that you don't get so HUNG UP on the details that you lose sight of the BIG PICTURE.

recycle your darlings

idol ciel x stalker sebastian

What they do behind closed door

okayyyy THE gay, lesbian, het, COUPLES are dancinggggg

the way ciel gets jealous because sullivan stole his spot on sebastian’s lap… don’t worry, boy. he’s all yours

oh the heart emoji… ik who you are sebastian

i love toxic yaoi

literally my favorite artwork and my favorite note from yana. no matter what hardships they have to face, they’ll always have each other❤️

I used to have a folder on my phone called “Suspiciously gay official art” I’ve since lost it but that doesn’t stop the fact that there’s a lot of sebaciel fan service (especially in the earlier years) as such, here’s a big post about it!

This was posted on Valentines day! they’re dancing together💕

once again dancing and being cute (have to be extra close because they’re not alone, notice the Seb thigh grab)

wow can you guys stop dancing all the time, its like you’re a couple!

what’s up with the thanksgiving art and Ciel lookin’ like a snac, idk there’s something weird goin’ on there (I feel like it’s too sensual to be a metaphor for Seb eating Ciel’s soul)

okay they’re straight up kissing wtf (I think that’s demon Ciel so season 2 doesn’t count but come on!)

Ciel does not need to hang onto Seb like that, that’s suspicious… suspiciously gay!

They’re always hanging off each other/possessively holding one another!

Pictures of their wedding lol

This iconic poster

Gay Smug faces

Holding tight

They look like they are getting married.

LOOK AT HOW SEBASTIAN IS LOOKING AT HIM.

Possessive man is possessive.

Ciel… Looks awfully jealous… I wonder why…

Don’t laugh don’t laugh don’t laugh don’t laugh-

but guys. there’s actually a straight, platonic justification for every image. it’s not as gay as you might think.

they are CLEARLY just friends or even only acquaintances. i’m sure they’re doing some kind of special handshake here

are you even bros if you won’t sensually take off your bro’s glove for him? (two left hands=two people/two dudes being dudes)

this is how i would spend time with my servants, if i had any,,

i too stand with my platonic acquaintances like this. often in fact. particularly as rose petals fall around us

the cameraman said “do a peace sign if you’re straight!” (don’t ask me how i know this, i just do)

any good bro carries his bro around bridal style, and then holds his bro in his arms in the same way as he sleeps (wait i don’t think he’s sleeping–the straightness levels killed him)

fellas it isn’t gay to get off on your bro’s suffering okay that’s just what us vanilla bros do for one another. it’s a mutual thing. ciel agrees

and then back to official art…

sorry, gay? not in my good christian house! i’ll have you know they said ‘no homo’ before they lay down together surrounded by roses and held hands. sebastian is clearly going to kiss ciel’s hand to seal the no-homo deal

finally, some good straight content! sebastian and his girlfriend are so cute. she’s blushing and his hand is even on her ass they’re clearly dating

the harder you hug somebody to you, the straighter it is. i’m sorry, i don’t make the rules

case in point. also the bro code says that when you’re underwater, no homo is taken as a given, since you can’t say it out loud :\

he’s literally leaning his head against ciel’s ass. idk what you want me to tell you other than that they’re 109% straight.

two bros chilling in the nintendo game 0 feet apart cause they’re not gay

…okay i’m done now that was full homo full sarcasm full sebaciel

Making my territory

they are literally perfect for any toxic scenario, because what do you mean a human has absolute autonomy over a demon and can command him to do anything and sebastian has to obey? what do you mean there’s an unhealthy age gap between them? what do you mean their relationship exists because a demon manipulated someone in a vulnerable mental state? what do you mean a child takes satisfaction in publicly beating his butler while he’s lying motionless on the ground? what do you mean ciel makes sebastian jealous by constantly flirting with a poor innocent writer? what do you mean this is just what their relationship looks like
