Legitimately the best comment I've ever received. Thank you so much.
Now, firstly let me address this properly: THANK YOU FOR BEING ONE OF THE FEW WHO REALLY UNDERSTAND THANK YOU. //Ahem. Yes, Ciel's actually quite... Mm. Cold. Built like a doll and twice as devastating, but cold.
//Trying not to say everything bad about him seeing as I cosplay as him and drive everyone batty about it.
And by the way, as I said before, it's actually a carriage house. If you somehow manage to figure out /where/ this carriage house is, you own the Internet. Hint: It's part of one of the most famous royal residences in the world. Have fun!

you're very welcome!
as for the carriage: well... given the black/gold color scheme and the ornament on the roof - not to mention the coat of arms on the door - i'm guessing that's in the carriage museum at The Royal Mews, Buckingham Palace, in London.

You're welcome. Don't actually burst out into literal stitches, I think someone actually did that and it didn't end well. //Smiles crookedly.
Did you get the reference?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes unless you were referencing something other than Ciel's stony expression... then no.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was.
But Ciel does exactly have one natural expression, you must admit: "Earlbrickface." Better known as "I-am-a-sulky-brat with too much power for my short stature"

Napoleon Complex ftw, yo.
being a short guy myself (i'm 5'5"), i can kind of sympathize with him - people totally underestimate you when you're small (especially when you're a guy), and some will even look down on you openly... no pun intended. pfff, i went to the store recently, and as i walked past these two really huge dudes (i'm talking 6'4", maybe 275 lbs), one turned to his friend and said "Man, did you see that little fucker?" i was like...wtf, i'm not four feet tall, cut me a break.
if i had grown up rich and spoiled, i might have turned out like him. especially if the devil was my butler.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ciel was already like that before Sebastian, actually. //Cackles. What d'ya know.
Oh god, Napoleon complexes. I could go on forever about those; being about literally Ciel's height makes me one of the shortest people I know. Heck, you're taller than me. //Snorts, and grins. Not that I can't sympathize with you--I get short comments a /lot./
The reference, by the way was from Yugioh Abridged Series.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ahhhhh, okay. my Abridged series of choice was Sailor Moon Abridged. i tried watching the actual Yugi-Oh! tv show once, but couldn't stop laughing at the English voices - once the kid went all game-face his voice plummeted like, six octaves and got all gravelly like he smoked three and a half packs a day. same with DBZ - i just couldn't get used to Goku's ultra-manly voice after hearing the Japanese version for years. just lol.
pre-Sebby Ciel seemed so shy and sweet... i figured it was that month of torture and starvation that made him such a bitter little hardass, especially since his parents and Tanaka were so kind and gentle. of course by the time Sebastian gets to him, he's well and truly messed up, which our poor unfortunate butler doesn't know when he makes the contract. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No no no, Pre-Ciel was all sweetness and fluff to /other people./ But he also loved, which is an emotion of his that is plenty more warped now. (If there at all.) I think he was starting to grow just a bit, and then he was kidnapped.
And /then/ he became an epic hardass that basically started a game of one-upping his demon servant as soon as he met him. I mean, Christ. "It was my dog." Priceless. Just priceless.
But, it did help that Sebastian has a masochistic streak a mile wide. I swear to you that he does, it explains /everything./
YGO Abridged took the voices and made everything better. Truly, go watch it. It's hysterical.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you know, between his human appearance and his name, Sebastian was given elements of the two most important males in little!Ciel's world. and Ciel actually looks quite shy when he explains that it was his dog's name, as if he's admitting something embarrassing - and to a 10-year-old boy, naming someone or something after your dog is a pretty high compliment. hell, Indiana Jones named HIMSELF after his dog!
....but ohmygod yes, that devil loves the pain. whether it's generally being treated like crap, having hot tea thrown in his face (or poured into his hands, LAWL) or being whipped bloody by an angel in slutty lingerie, he's all about the hurting. "Pain is the best spice" indeed.
of course, he's not shy about dishing it out, either; i've always believed that there was at least a time or two when he lost his patience with Ciel and put the kid over his knee - a governess would have done it, and since Sebastian pretty much fills that role... kind of a given, IMHO. and ever since i saw that bit where Ciel gets his hands slapped with a riding crop for messing up on his lessons, i've been certain of it. why would Ciel actually hold out his hands as told, knowing what's coming, instead of just saying GTFO? because if he doesn't, he's probably going to get whapped across the ass with it instead, that's why. Sebastian can move a hell of a lot faster than he can (no pun intended), and butts are a lot easier to hit when you're rushing. then of course there was the tightrope-walking bit that left him rubbing his butt, even though he got pinged all over - gee, i wonder what Sebastian aimed for the most.
ahhh, i love this fucked-up series so much.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm with you. I've never thought that Sebastian smacked Ciel's ass though, because the returning blows wouldn't of actually been worth it at the time.
I don't think that he ever got whipped across the hands before then, to tell you the truth.
But Sebastian takes every chance he can to torment Ciel in petty ways, and vice versa. It's hysterical and fucked up, but there you have it. Keeps them sane.
No idea why people think that Ciel's a little weakling in relationships.
And again, I'm with you: I LOVE THIS SHOW.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i agree that Sebastian probably hadn't slapped Ciel's hands before that, considering Ciel's revenge afterward, but he does look awfully nervous in that first panel, standing there looking at the crop on the desk with his hands behind his back - that makes me think he's at least familiar with that particular implement and its disciplinary uses. and really, Ciel's intelligent enough to figure out what's going to happen when someone picks up a whip and says, "okay, take off your rings and hold out your hands". i always thought he'd tried to get away or something the first time, and ended up regretting it, so he cooperated the next time... very reluctantly. maybe i just appreciate the idea of Ciel getting his bratty ass whooped... hence my writing a whole fic about it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh, forgot about that little bit. I think a lot of people want to see his ass whooped, though.
What's the fic called? Is it on here or ff.net?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it's called Lesson and it's here on dA: [link] - i have an entire folder in my gallery dedicated to Kuroshitsuji fanfic, if you're interested.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Alright, I've read it and you've convinced me: It could have happened. You write /very/ well, by the way. I confess myself admiring of your skill--I write myself, but my pieces tend to be melodramatic and snippet-like nowadays.
Likely, I'll burn through your other works.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the last couple fics i posted recently have been fairly short and heavy on the angst - my stuff isn't always as much fun as the comedic fics, or as long as the smutty ones (and i'll warn you in advance: my SxC smutfics are pretty explicit). so i'm sure i'll have no problem appreciating snippet-like melodrama.
yaaaaaaaayyyyyy new stuff to read!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're very welcome! I really enjoyed reading your piece. I'll get to the angst ones first, though--Perhaps morbidly, they make me happy half the time. Unless it's concerning the second season, which was outright depressing at the end, and makes me sad all of the time. //Snorts.
My account on fanfiction.net is Gnimaerd, but I haven't posted all that much on it. I can scribble up something for you if you give me a topic, though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
gah! slow reply is slow.
i read some of your ff.net stuff and loved it - you should post it here on dA! i like the feedback system here much better, plus i almost never use my ff.net account since they started the adult-fic crackdown. i'm soullesswonder over there, but there isn't much to read that isn't here already.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Really! I'm glad you like my work, it's a lovely compliment coming from you. And yes, I already looked you up over there--Very nice, but much is the same.
I'll post on dA if you give me literary advice. //Grins. I'll admit, however the feedback system is indeed better. I did post a few works here and there over here, but nothing serious.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
.....i'll give you literary advice if you give me cosplay tips.
You've got yourself a deal. What help do you need?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
how do i wear an eyepatch over a wig without the string sliding down over my brow? moreover, how do i keep the wig from sliding up at the nape? and how the hell do i fit a tophat over it??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you are planning to cosplay Ciel, I will likely go into a bout of ironic amusement and demand photographic evidence of such a happenstance.
As for the answers:
Question One: A) Get a competent butler to do it for you. You may sell your soul in the process to get one, and you also may have to end up house training your new servant.
(Caution: I've found out that they tend to be a lot more complicated than dogs.)
B) Bobby pins. A single one holding up the ribbon by your temple should stop the ribbon from obscuring your eyesight. Or otherwise.
Question Two and Three, in order: More bobby pins! When you put in your hair, you place the wig as it should be and pin it down with the pins.
When you put on your wig, measure out your head span. Then go looking online for the hat of your choice.
I'm lucky, myself to have a hat that fits my head in a wig. Only, when my head's out of a wig...Well, it slips down to my eyes. OTL

.......
*cough* [link]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, thank you. A very cute one you make as well. I've been planning to put flowers in my own hat, myself.
Was my advice useful to you at all?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks. the girls who said hello to me at the con apparently weren't expecting a deep voice to come out of my mouth when i returned the greeting, judging from the squeals. 
and yes, thank you for the advice!! i don't know why i never tried bobby pins. i think it was because i figured they'd just slide out (they're open on one end - how do they work???) or something. i'll try them next time.
now what do you want to know?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Unfortunately you aren't the only guy Ciel. (I'd be cheering if you were) Your gender does cosplay Ciel, but it's so tragically rare to see anyone of the male sex cosplaying anything of their own sex it generally generates a reaction like that. In other words, you become a girl magnet.
My voice comes out in costume exactly like a young boy's voice, so that's convenient. (I could tell a tale about a gaggle of young girls who wanted a picture, but it's quick and uninteresting for the most part.)
If you are not "cute" in the way that Ciel is, I would consider you lucky instead. I'm going to tell you right now, right now that being a little shotacon is HELL. Pedophiles come from all sides and start...Egh.
Bobby pins work because they're open, though. Very easy to slide in, and they tend to not slide out quickly in a hurry. The problem is that they have an unfortunate ability to become lost rather quickly.
Well, ah...If you could start by telling me what on earth I can do to improve my literary works, that would be marvelous. If other things come up, then that would be alright as well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
TELL THE TALE OF THE GIRL GAGGLE.
as for the fic - well... like, do you want me to concrit something? beta it? or just give you a general lump of opinion based on what i read at ff.net?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, here I was at my local convention, trying to awkwardly finish up dancing with my Hannah Cosplayer, (I am horrid at ballroom dancing. Just absolutely pathetic) and all of a sudden there comes a gaggle of little tweens, who so very politely ask me "Can we take your picture, sir?"
...I could hardly refuse them. //Chuckles. But it's gotten to the point now where people just sort of accept me for the gender of the day, and think I'm that gender.
Ah...All three, if you could? My beta's quite in the dumps and I'd just like to be able to talk to someone for things like this.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
drop me a message with anything you want me to beta, and we'll go from there. ^-^ i have a hard time doing anything Death Note these days, but Kuro stuff is fine. and i'm happy to be your literary sounding board - if you have Skype, that might make things easier.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I pity you for the squealers, but I wasn't recounting the times I was actually molested. //Grimaces in memory. Still, funny story with the cop. You poor man.
Kuro-related stuff is /all/ I practically do, as those who know me can attest to. I'm half-heartedly trying to have variety just so that I don't look so pathetic. I do have skype, but it's a shared account. Are there any other sites of communication you're comfortable with?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i have a great story about being "glomp-raped" (as my con buddy put it) by a squealer while i was cosplaying Matt at my very first con...
if staying with one fandom at a time makes you pathetic, then you're in good company. i may have written in a bunch of fandoms, but i can only focus on a single one (for months, sometimes even years) if i'm going to write convincingly in-character stuff; Sebastian and Ciel have such different thought and speech patterns than Matt and Mello that if i tried to write in both fandoms at once, Matt would be an unfriendly little bastard and Sebastian would swear like a sailor. my brain can only hold so many people at once.
i'm fine with dA messaging, but i prefer IM programs like Skype for their real-time properties. i used to use a couple other IM programs, but they were quickly overcome by my love of Skype and its bajillion handy features, like full-screen videochat, drag-and-drop filesharing, super-clear voicechat, etc etc etc. if you have another IM program, i'm willing to try just about anything - my computer hates AIM for some reason, but does okay with Windows Live and will occasionally tolerate YIM. it isn't difficult to make a new Skype account, but we could even do Gmail chat or something if necessary.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Windows live is perfect, but I have been thinking about getting a new skype account. In the meantime, could you elaborate on the Matt story?
Thanks for making me feel better about staying with Kuro. My problem isn't the same as yours, as it's more that Kuroshitsuji is a point of slight obsession, but I can see what you mean and thanks for cheering me up.

lol. my very first big con (Ohayocon), about three years ago. i'm dressed as Matt, and since my hair is naturally red, i didn't bother to shave. suddenly this squealing fangirl runs over (i found out later she was 14, but looked about 12) and says something like, "MATT! OMG YOU'RE A BOY MATT AND YOU'RE LIKE MY FAVORITEST EVER! Can I glomp you??" and she's looking up at me with these eyes like so of course i say yes. being the innocent con-virgin unaware of the ways of the Overexcited Glomper Girl, i figure she's just going to hug me really hard - so i'm surprised when she backs up a few feet and comes running at me full speed, then takes a flying leap and latches onto me with both arms and legs like a lemur. so i'm hugging her, and next thing i know she's shaking, and i'm thinking maybe she's upset because it's near Matt's canon deathday... so i hug her a little longer... and a little longer... and it's getting awkward... and she's still not letting go... and she's kind of starting to slide down my front... and she's still not letting go... and when she does finally let go, she scoots away about two feet, head down, hands all fidgety, and when i ask if she's okay, she won't look me in the eye. i'm trying to make really clumsy conversation when all of a sudden she goes "OMG! AXEL! YOU'RE LIKE MY FAVORITEST EVER!!" and off she runs. (the Axel cosplayer was so smooth he didn't even stop walking, he's just strutting along with this limpet hanging around his neck. LIKE A BOSS.) i'm standing there half in shock, and my friend asks me if i'm all right, so i ask if the girl looked upset when she was hugging me, cos she'd been shaking and i'd thought she might be crying. imagine my horror when my friend says that no, she didn't look unhappy at all - in fact she'd looked REALLY REALLY HAPPY, eyes rolling up in her head and everything... you get the idea.
my friend spent the rest of the weekend teasing me for having been "glomp-raped" within 20 minutes of arriving at the con.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's horrifically disturbing and hilarious.
Okay, I got one: So when I was first debuting my Ciel cosplay, I was minding my own business in the merchandise gallery, trying to get used to being essentially blind what with my eye being closed up and the other eye being covered in hair. And then out of no-freaking-where, here comes a PACK of girls, all dressed in Kuro cosplay, who hunt me down through the hallway into a corner. So, seeing as there were five of them and one of me, and my back was to a corner, I asked them who the heck they were.
They wanted me to be part of a flipbook.
...I didn't come with anyone for that convention.
You can guess what my answer was.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the last con i went to, i was stalked for most of Sunday by a Claude and a Grell - the Claude eventually sneaked up behind me, put an arm around my shoulders, and outright asked for my soul... seeing as i had no Sebastian. >___<
...i'm pretty sure you can guess my answer as well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You poor thing, I certainly sympathize. //Without a Sebastian myself. Mostly.
What I'd do is to start beating off my attackers with a cane; have you tried that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
..."mostly"?
LOL i do have a great walking stick i use with my Ciel cosplay; it's black metal with a large pewter dragon's head on top, weighs a ton, and i get a lot of compliments on it... maybe i'll start brandishing it at creepy wannabe butlers and vengeful shinigami.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Do that. Be careful of them actually trying to take it, however.
"Mostly" is said because I have friendswho do cosplay as Sebastian but none of them help me when I'm BEING MOLESTED AND CRYING OUT FOR HELP. Or just asking for help, really.

//Nods.
Why is it that your best friends say "Trip much, dumbass" When you go and fall on the ground and have a skinned knee? //Looks rather bemused. As such, they don't help when you're getting molested. Never understood the logic.
Actually, are you any good at coming up with cosplay photo ideas?

i love doing cosplay shoots, so i hope so. 
you need better butlers.

It's truly too bad that you can't do all of your ideas, but I'd love to talk them over with you. Maybe we should switch to notes for this though..?
I /do/ need better butlers. It's sad that my Alois Trancy Cosplayer has more staff than I do. //Looks put out.

i'd totally cosplay Sebastian with you if i a) weren't a bajillion miles away, and b) totally the wrong body type for it.
