rant/analysis: grelle is not "boy crazy"
with the rise in popularity around black butler following the release of season 4 and 5, there are new people in the fandom who either don't read the manga enough, or are only casual fans and therefore don't care to know more about the series. and with these new fans comes the resurfacing of old misunderstandings and mischaracterizations that many fandom veterans already know is not true. one of the most common mischaracterizations of grelle's character i see too often is the idea that she is madly in love with every single man she sees, which just is not true. grelle is a romantic, she loves to find the drama and passion in bloody violence, but GOD she is not "in love with every single man she sees". a lot of the evidence for this claim stems from the anime's portrayal of her, which i already have a lot of problems with for various other reasons. like for example how she reacts to pl*to and the line she says when she sees undertakers face all point to her being attracted to any man she sees, but us manga readers know these interactions aren't canon. so which interactions are canon?
well as we know from this statement by yana, grelle is only truly interested in william, which is surprising for some people who believe her crush is sebastian, since she's always seen talking about how attractive he is as well as sometimes making very lewd remarks towards him. while i do think there is no doubt grelle finds sebastian attractive (fucking everyone in the manga thinks so too), he clearly isn't her main goal romantically speaking. as yana states in the post, if sebastian returned her feelings, she would lose interest immediately (which i think we kind of see in the most beautiful death in the world when sebastian solicits grelle, and we can see her hesitate and start to make excuses).
but what about undertaker? in my opinion, there is nothing grelle would like more than to see undertaker either dead (can shinigami even die tho?) or apprehended by the dispatch. the fact that he is attractive does not deter her from this. undertaker is different than grelle's other "crushes" because i truly believe her desire to beat his ass is greater than whatever desire that may derive from his looks. she doesn't make lewd comments to him like she does with sebastian, and she doesn't romanticize/downplay his actions to see him in a better light like she does with william. ALSO!!! the panel below is the ONLY time she acknowledges his looks. she just says "damn ur hot, too bad i gotta kill you tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯". call me crazy, but i dont think shes THAT into him.
i dont think it's that relevant because while it is official, it is not canon, but i'll also address the 2010 valentine's seiyuu event. basically in this event, the story is centered around grelle, who is making honmei choko for william for valentine's day, and gradually every single male character (except ciel) breaks through a window to try and "win her over" so to speak. while she likes the attention at first, she starts to get extremely overwhelmed by the sheer number of men competing for her affection. it ends with her getting pregnant with william's child (?????) and then she wakes up and realizes it was a dream. BUT after she wakes up, she realizes that william ate her honmei choko, to which she is ecstatic about. despite the concept, i feel like it only proves even more that she only really cares about william.
and thats the extent of her "boy crazy"ness. 1 person she is actually interested in pursuing romantically, and 2 people she finds hot but also tries to kill on the regular. grelle is a very complex character in terms of trying to understand her goals and motivations, and in trying to to understand that, i believe people will mistakenly simplify her character to fit a certain archetype. as i mentioned in the beginning, grelle is a romantic, but she is not "boy crazy", and i fully believe those two labels don't contradict each other.
CANON REAPER HEIGHTS
So. There was a comment on my clean/color of Eric and Alan’s designs the other day that stated that Alan shouldn’t be so short (not naming names, I’m not upset, I promise! lol) and it made me wonder if there was a way to determine how tall the Reapers without canonical heights are.
So I started with the characters we do have definite heights for. William is 182cm, or about 5’11.5”. Grell is 175cm, around 5’9”, out of heels (although this image makes them appear this height in heels, as well).
I used William’s Academy character design (right) for scaling purposes and lined up the group image as well as I could going by his chin and shoulder height. Based on this, we can estimate the others’ heights.
Alan first. When I scaled the character designs, I went by where on Eric Alan reached (the top of his head is about nose level on Eric). However, here, his height is very straightforward. He is standing straight and 5’6”, 5’7” at the absolute tallest.
Eric is very close to William’s height, but he also has his weight shifted onto one leg, likely reducing his height a small amount. We can safely say he’s approximately 6’0”.
Ronald’s height is not listed on his character design sheets and I haven’t found an actual source for the numbers I have seen around (if anyone does have a source, I want it!), but we can guess for him, as well. He is slouching significantly, but his shoulder height is equal to Alan’s with that posture, so we can assume he’s 1-2 inches taller, putting him at 5’7”-5’8”.
TL;DR: Reapers are shorter than you probably thought they were.
Height chart from here.
*Edited to fix links.
So I dragged this out of the depths and made an attempt to add the other two, using the one page we have of them standing next to each other. X’D
I tried to resize it so Rudgar’s head was about the same size relative to the others and they ended up really short. I dunno if this is close or not, but this puts Rudgar at 5′6″ish and Sascha at 4′7″ish. That means they tie and beat Alan for shortest reapers.
No I don’t know why I spent time on this other than general curiosity of the “How tiny is Sascha?” variety.
Oh, this is fun! Alright, so I know Sascha and Rudgar are floating here, but I can explain. If we look at the English 5, despite their differences in height, their hips and knees are all relatively in alignment. We can’t see anything from their knees down, so we have to assume that the length from knee to heel is approximately the same regardless of height. If we compare Rudgar’s build to William’s, with both of their faces being proportional to each other, we can see that Rudgar (as well as Sascha) is drawn with significantly shorter calves. However, the distance between Rudgar’s hips and knee is very similar to William’s, and it appears Sascha’s would be, as well, if he were standing straight.
SO I think we can probably chalk the huge apparent discrepancy in heights between the English and German Reapers to a change in style on Yana’s part (and I think we all know that she is not the most consistent, especially when it comes to legs lol).
For this reason, I would disregard everything from the knee down, myself, and say Rudgar is approximately the same height as William - 5′11″ to 6′0″ - and Sascha is probably in the neighborhood of 5′4″ taking posture into consideration, still making him the shortest, but not a full foot.
I thought William’s legs looked awfully long in comparison, but wasn’t sure how to compensate for it. Thank you, SL! That sounds much more reasonable.
I would love to see Undertaker’s height comparison too! <3 I’m pretty sure his platform heels skew his height a lot, but I’d love to see how it compares to the other reapers.
Also if you consider the time period, you would expect to see shorter heights in general for everybody. This might be a little too in-depth, but you might be able to argue that the shorter reapers may be the older ones, assuming they died far enough in the past to have that much of a height discrepancy.
I dunno if SL’s around but I am procrastinating, so ask and ye shall receive. And a preemptive apology for making this post even longer. XDDDD
Okay, so taking the picture of UT from the character guide (since that’s where our base Academy!Will came from in the first place), and using what SL explained about taking knees and such into account, I came up with this:
Which puts UT at about 5′11″ in his boots, so about Will’s height. The boots look roughly three inches high, so that would put his actual height as more like 5′8″. So presumably taller than Ronnie but shorter than Grell.
If SL wants to step in and add anything, he’s welcomed to, but I hope I did a better job scaling this time. XDDD
Screw the length of the post, this is awesome!
Ty for adding him! I’m so used to seeing Undertaker looming over folks creepily in the musicals, so it’s interesting to see that he may not be that tall after all! For some reason I always thought he would easily be over 6 feet.
Izumi Shuuhei, actor that play Undertaker in musical is 1.85m. He is either the highest or among the highest actors in musical. His height might have affected our perception of Undertaker.
Eric’s hair is also adding a bit of height, too. His hair is poofier than William’s.
I thought Grell was 5′9 in heels and 5′7 out of heels?
Common misconception, but not the case. The height of 175cm is listed in the character design for Grell’s butler disguise, so no heel height is included. In the Character Guide (? I’ve been able to track down a transcription, but I do not have the files for the book itself available at the moment), it is explained that “Grell measures 175cm, to which 11cm are added from his high heels.” The order of wording here is where people get lost, I think, but this is saying that 11cm are added to the 175cm height, not that 11cm of the 175cm height is added by the heels. 175cm is just short of 5′9″, so the increased height of 11cm puts Grell at about 6′1″ in heels.
Also, [link to my follow-up on Undertaker’s height].
(i know this thread is old asf but idc)
What about this drawing where Grell and Sebastian are standing up straight next to each other, and Grell is still shorter than him? Since you said that she’s 6’1 with heels, that would make her the same height as Sebastian

while others studied the scalpel she studied the chainsaw
not that this is a particularly profound take but imo i think the dadbastian trope IS pretty applicable in canon if you just like. Look at it from a slightly skewed angle.
it's not that i'm coming at this in a "sebastian is gradually changing for the better and learning to empathize with and/or regard o!ciel as someone he genuinely cares for" way because, as much as that narrative is fun and angsty and Just So Happens to make sebastian a little easier to relate to, it clashes with how calculated he canonically is.
that being said! he absolutely is changing. his character arc revolves around a realization that the tactics he's comfortable using aren't good enough, and this goes wayyy beyond undertaker being two steps ahead of his "punch first, ask questions later" instinct. everything sebastian does is catalyzed by a belief that, no matter how treacherous the situation becomes, he'll be able to figure it out with little to no effort given his superiority as a supernatural entity.
I don’t think Ive posted this on here omg

I frikin love artstyle! :3 im aware you ship grelliam but can you draw Grellron in a funny/cute way? It doesn't have to be the ship i just wanna see them in your artstyle so badly<33
OMG THANK YOU!!!! haven't received any requests in a while, this was a nice break from school stuff :]
LOOK!!!! The girls are fighting!
(I support the red one)
In this case, I found it kinda funny the idea of Madam Red scolding Grell for attacking her, but doing it in a similar way when Grell was an dumb butler and give her a salty tea.
Just casually angry cause her bestie make the silly mistake of tear off her coat and chest with a chainsaw. Opps! Grell did it again~💋
