Words of the Whirl Wind

So If you're looking for the story, Here is the master post with all the Chapters broken up in to groups. I hope this helps, and also if you want to skip over say the Long Halloween, you can.

Main Arcs are linked, All Vignettes are in-between Chapters.

Summary:

Ciel Phantomhive, the Queen's Watchdog, has seen some serious situations in his short life, and always had control over them, but he never once believed he would find himself in a world where all his skills and charms would be useless to him. Now, tossed through a gateway to a Twisted world where magic abounds, can the young Earl Phantomhive manage to survive going to Night Raven College, and unravel the mystery of why he was set there, and how to get back home.

A, mostly, Cannon Compliant, crossover of Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji and Twisted Wonderland.

Have questions, just shoot me an ask. Happy to answer it.

*Side note: I know I have a LOT of Asks in my inbox. I am getting to them, just dealing with recovering and had to finish a chapter up. Will be working on them this week.

I mean, Mordi feels too obvious at this point, but Rodney fits the bill, especially with the eyes.

If you look at the chin and eyes there is something similar to them.

On top of that the blood pattern in the bathroom is eerily similar to both the room Sebastian found and Agni's death.

I have an idea for an arc for Valentine's day, based on the Princess Bride, but, while it is part of Book 5, due to length I'm going to have it as it's own separate thing so that it doesn't break the flow of the Book too much as there is going to be Beans Day and other events. So yes Romantic story there, and Glorious Masq is going to be adding in some romance to the situation, and, when we get a Beauty and the beast event I certainly will be having that be a more romantic event.

Honestly, after following the Kuroshitsuji manga this far and putting together all the tiny details you’ve gathered, my brain is genuinely unable to predict where this story is going anymore. Like, every time I think I’ve figured something out, Yana-sensei somehow throws another plot twist at us and I’m just sitting here like “wait... WHAT?” 😭

I’d really love to hear your thoughts and predictions about how Kuroshitsuji might end, especially when it comes to O!Ciel and what kind of fate would be the best for our precious Earl Phantomhive. I’m so attached to him, and honestly, I just want to see him get the ending he truly deserves (and there's a part of me that hopes that's the ending he really wants).

P.S. I’m absolutely obsessed with all of your analyses! Your interpretations are always so interesting to read, and I genuinely love seeing your thoughts about the story. I’ll always be looking forward to the next chapters of Phantomhive in Night Raven College whenever you’re ready to share them!

Please take care of yourself and stay healthy! Thank you so much for creating and sharing such an amazing work with us. I’ll be cheering you on always! 💙

Honestly, I think it would be great if Undertaker or someone was able to break the contract with Sebastian. I know a lot of people want him to Eat Ciel, but I'm thinking that Yana's going the way of the Snow Queen where Lizzie is going to be the one that fixes the problem because she's shown to be the Sun to Sebastian's moon. Just my gut feeling that the Servants will turn on Sebastian if and when he tries to Eat Ciel, as Yana has said that Finnian, for example, is the most loyal to Ciel himself. With Soma wanting to be Ciel's Agni, I think there's going to be more at play than what we think.

Perfect ending, Ciel ends up living and being able to stop being the watch dog. Sebastian, continues to be his butler without having to have the contract.

Yeah that's how I feel. I have theories in my head that I want to write about (as soon as I can) regarding how the twins are like the Holly King (R!Ciel) and the Oak King (O!Ciel) and how the two play out the whole cycle of the seasons. Along with the idea of how O!Ciel is a Robin and R!Ciel is another type of bird connected to Celtic lore. I think it's the wren, I'll have to double check on that one. Then there's the relationship with Lizzie and Ciel to the story of the Snow Queen and How O!Ciel is very much Kai and Lizzie is Gerta, with the others representing both characters in the snow Queen and other fairy tales. Not to mention Viscount Druitt and my thoughts on him being the main baddie due to what Yana has said, and Lau's role in everything.

My concern is Snake, and I hope he doesn't try to kill Ciel again. I'm hoping that because of who he is that he survives the neck cut.

I'm kind of seeing, and I hope I'm right on this, an ending as in the Snow Queen. In the end of the book, Kai and Gerta, after a lot of trials on her part of finding her friend, the two are free from the snow Queen who lets them leave (Frozen seems to be a favorite of Yana's along with several other interesting Disney movies who have some really cool endings), and when they depart they realize as they walk down the hill back to town, the time that they've spent while away was longer than they thought and are now grown up.

So, in my mind, O!Ciel by the end is going to grow up, and realize his worth. I think that, plus Yana's point about the importance of Undertaker (because HE was going to be the MC originally for the pirate manga that Kuro came from), is going to play a part in helping him cast off the contract as I'm damn sure by this point that Undertaker has some direct line to the Phantomhives. I know some don't think he's grandpa, but I'm thinking he might be.

I just don't think that Sebastian winning and getting his soul would be a good ending because, even though he is the POV character, the story is really about Ciel/Sebastian/Undertaker/Lizzie, since each plays a large role in how things are revolving in the world, and the more the story goes on the more it seems like Ciel and Undertaker are really taking center stage with Sebastian playing a key role in how their relationship plays out. The thing is, I think O!Ciel is going to change his view on his death as he realizes more and more that he is loved and wanted and that people care about him and who he is. So it's going to cause conflict between the two of them (Sebastian and Ciel), since Sebastian lied about something regarding the creation of the contract, and Ciel doesn't yet known that, which will certainly change his view point on the demon.

Thank you, I know there are others who are far more diligent in their writing. Hopefully since I'm feeling better I can get on those theories. XD

Thank you! I'm really proud of this work.

Please take care of yourself and stay healthy! Thank you so much for creating and sharing such an amazing work with us. I’ll be cheering you on always! 💙

He appears to be Cinderella based, so we're probably going to see the Princesses showing up in this one as guys.

According to Valkryii's post (which can be found here) it seems to be a joseimuke (musical rhythm game) where you probably are managing a team of singers that use magic. Sort of what Twist was going to be before the overhaul to what it is now.

So the characters are called Spark Riders who apparently use magic via the sparks in people's hearts it seems as they get excited over things. Seems like the main idea revolves around dreams and wishes and the island is called Sparkle Island with the city being named Luminoustair. To me the whole thing sounds like a mix of Promise of Wizards where you're going to have to build a group to handle things regarding magic and maybe deal with some sort of issue regarding something coming for the sparks of joy that create dreams and wishes.

I also get a bit of Uta Prince with the whole boys are singers given it's said they are on the Stage, which usually implies Music and singing.

Lastly it reminds me a bit of Star Darlings, which was an original Disney IP.

"Star Darlings is a Disney publishing book franchise about an extraordinary group of twelve teenage girls from the all-girls' school Starling Academy who have been chosen to go to Earth and grant twelve very special wishes in order to save Starland from an unknown evil force."

The book series consisted of 14 books, with three cancelled (would have been 16 in total) and three movies for Disney channel. It was popular but I guess not enough for the last books to come out? My guess is that we're going to to see a mix of these three aspects in this game. The question is, are we going to have to deal with the Promise of Wizards -where you feed the wizard to help them grow and such. It's a bit...odd in that sense. It could also follow the pattern of On Air which is another game by them where you collect the cards, train the voice actors, and feed them to bond with them. There's also PvP and other aspects to the game, so it's a bit more like a TTCG, again like Fire Emblem Heroes in that aspect or Fate/Grand Order I think. I'm not sure if there's going to be a romance aspect to it. The art work is pretty though. It seems likely that this will be focusing on "twisted" versions of the princesses over the Villains.

A heads off for this, it's google translate that I used so I'm trying to clean it up into clearer English. This was what I was able to gather from the trailer and what the story line seems to be implying.

It starts out with the book called The Sparkle Tale...

First lines: A story from long ago. Illuminated by two stars there was a small island. On that island, which emitted a mysterious sparkle, people lived their days filled with smiles.

Second line: One day, a single shinning seed appeared.

Third Line: The two stars watching over the island bestowed a gift upon us as testament to the exhilarating moments we shared. (Or it could be as proof of a time filled with excitement, they/he gave me a gift.) Fourth line: As the seed sprouted, many mysterious lights gathered from the sky and sea.

Fifth line: It's talked about all over the world. A story full of dreams and hope.

Sixth line: The seed became one with the mysterious lights and grew large and became a beautiful tree, with many lights (adorning) illuminating it's branches.

Seventh line: When people smile. A time when your eyes light up with dreams and hopes. When you make a wish upon a star.

Eighth line: Sparkling particles of light always seemed to dance around the air.

Nineth line: Those particles of light rose into the sky, weaving a beautiful story into the starry night.

Tenth line: The story eventually spread throughout the island, becoming a wonderful force that led people to happiness, and the island, floating at the edged of the world, gradually prospered. Eleventh line: Many years have passed since then. Even now that it has passed --

Twelfth line: That power, once called "Magic", has transformed, bringing excitement and smiles to the island.

That's the translation of the trailer.

Some interesting implications regarding the game based on this limited bit. Firstly we know there is Magic that will be involved. The seed and the tree are very similar to Disney's world tree at Animal Kingdom in Orlando Florida. Which does a whole illumination show using the tree for projections and it lights up. The tree and seed from the trailer show multiple colors all over the leaves in different sections, so it makes me think of elements that will be used, much like Twisted Wonderland. Another thing is that the seed also has colors all over it in twisted vines.

Another interesting thing is that the island is floating and on the edge of the world, and we have pixie sparkles. These are used a lot in Disney to imply magic, and most mage characters, wizards and good witches use the sparkles. While villains tend to have fire or other styles of visuals to show off their magic. It makes me think we're looking at mages but in a different way then Twisted wonderland. Something else that's interesting is that the teaser image shows the tree in the middle, a castle on the right of the screen, and a town on the left. Making me think there's going to be a possible magic school or some connection between the three areas that we as players have to cover. One other thing that caught my attention, along with the two stars which can follow various myths in Japanese lore, or be nods to Star from Wish and the Blue Fairy's star/wishing star, is the fact that Pixar is referenced on the bottom under trademarks. Unlike Twisted Wonderland which seems to be focused on just Disney Animation right now, Sparklink might include Pixar properties (my guess is Brave, Turning Red, and any that hints at magic) which would lead to some interesting uses. Of note about the company that is running this game. Coly is known for both visual novels with some romantic elements, a few Otome games directly, and at least two mystery games. Typically for them they have two sorts of game play in their games. The first is the visual novel aspect, where you make choices, the second though is typically either a bejeweled like matching game that you have to play, or what seems to be a pvp game via Promise of Wizards (think a bit like Fire Emblem Heroes). Wiki for Promise of Wizard to learn about the game can be found here

Yes! I do think she will appear at some point this year, I'm just not sure when exactly. My gut says probably near the end of the year, but she won't meet Ciel until next year or the year after.

I'm doing better and working on the chapters. Both in different ways, but I think Harveston a bit more as the sledding and the location, while different, probably reminds him a lot of the village he has at home.

As you can see, Ciel is here for moral support. These are two separate pages (left one is on unit 3 of AP bio meanwhile the right is on unit 4)

And yes, my AP biology teacher accepted these images (somehow). 😂

GUESS WHO’S GOING TO BE DOING A WHOLE PROJECT ABOUT IT AND MAKE CIEL AS IF HE WERE A CASE STUDY RAAAHHHHHHHH

That and then make at least 5 research articles about mustard gas…

You know what I’ll be fine! >:D

In honor of me FINALLY being free from that dreadful AP biology exam, here is an Mikaela × Black Butler moment in which biology has traumatized me enough to be willing to put a mention of it in my fanfiction...

THE ENTIRE EMERALD WITCH ARC. Like, back when I was reading it in the manga I was very much "Oh, cool! Sebastian has "magic," so maybe this Sullivan is legit."

But that’s when BOOM. AP BIOLOGY. Was I good at it? Not extremely, but I paid attention. Unit 4 specifically, cell communication and cell cycle. And perhaps some mentions of unit 6 gene expression and regulation.

Basically, there’s a whole cascade where one signal triggers another, and another, and another, until you end up with a full-blown physiological response. Enzymes, substrates, inhibition, activation, amplification… all of it building step by step into a final effect. And suddenly, the “curse” stopped making sense. That one scene Sullivan’s mother brought up the new poison gas compound made by Sullivan? Why was it in a liquid form inside of a tiny vile? That’s when I searched and found out it is a viscous (a sticky liquid apparently) one that can vaporize. It can be absorbed quickly once in contact to the skin due to its high lipid solubility. Lipids is a whole nother’ paragraph worth of explanation.

Continuing, what I mean is that biologically speaking, something doesn’t just happen to the body without a mechanism. Especially since Sebastian for now is the closest thing to a “magical entity.” We’re ignoring the reapers. Anyways, the curse symptoms made me even more curious. Blistering, the tearing/melting skin, severe swelling, physical and mental deterioration, those aren’t mystical consequences to me. They’re the result of very specific processes. The signals being sent, pathways being triggered, cells responding in predictable ways. The whole melting skin was likely a result of apoptosis (cell death)! And how is apoptosis triggered? Signals coming from within or outside the cell that start a step-by-step enzyme reaction. This is a rather vague explanation, but I’ll remain it at that.

The manipulation and pressure the women in the village must’ve done to Sullivan is rather impressive if I were to be honest.

The “curse,” would feel random, uncontrolled, and completely unsupported by anything Mikaela understands about how the human body works. Mikaela isn’t entirely human, hence is why she took such an interest in near medical level subjects.

But that’s the problem. Because if magic doesn’t truly exist in a widespread, explainable way in this world, then something else has to be causing those symptoms.

Even with this knowledge in mind, Mikaela doesn’t have the proper modern biology tools to explain this to Ciel, or anyone in general. The only person that she could PERHAPS tell is Sullivan, but VERYYY carefully. There’s probably little concepts and knowledge on cellular signaling pathways and biochemical triggers during such an era, but then again that’s my sign to do some research.

But when I saw that C4H8Cl2S in the Queen’s letter? Oh I jumped from my seat alright.

This feels like a report… maybe this would be the kind of reports (more refined, in depth, and professional though) that Mikaela would give to Ciel when necessary or ordered.

As for the whole trauma memories that Ciel had… I do wonder why for that factor.

Ciel would deal with the physics stuff. I hate physics with a PASSION. It’s a cool concept, but not really for me. Not to mention, the Cricket Match was enough for me to realize: yeah, he’d be best at physics.

I’m doing AP chemistry next year… Ahahahaha! Oh I am so cooked…

Nicely done there.
