I never noticed that he was running directly to Sebastian and that made me feel emotional.
Hello, I went on your spacehey and your page is so cute! I just wanted to say that the music made me tear up a bit. It was so familiar yet not at the same time, like a distant memory. May I ask what its name is?
- waxy 🕯️
hiii !! omg thank you, i'm happy you liked it !! the song name is "la petite fille de la mer", by vangelis :3
this is the best analysis i've saw about this ending, it's perfect aaaaaaaa <3333
I love the ending for the new anime season very much—it’s sweet and beautiful; and also terribly fitting for the Green Witch Arc.
Ciel’s mental state is constantly represented by the clothes he’s wearing; during his mental escape in GWA, he was wearing these clothes—the debut costume—pristine clean and unadulterated right before he was ripped out of them and defiled. Staying in these clothes forever means denying what he went through—time forever frozen in that moment before he fell from grace—it means denying his past and what has happened to him.
When he wears these; he turns almost childlike and cowardly, clinging to “his brother”, crying and sulking in bed, being terrified of adults, and hating Sebastian—the proof of his sin. But of course he’s unable to remain in escapism forever—and he gets jolted into the cold reality of being in that cage.
In the ending song; he starts the dance in the same clothes he was wearing the night of the ritual—the height of his misery and the night he lost everything he had left. These are the same clothes he is mentally stuck in whenever he gets a PTSD attack—torn, filthy, and miserable; these clothes brought with them the ghosts of his past.
Even the loving family he used to have only serves to make his current situation even more wretched in comparison. He looks at the ghosts of his parents, Madam Red, and Joker, and he slumps down in misery. For a moment he’s lost and adrift in the middle of nothing; missing his anchor. But then he gets up and grabs Sebastian’s hand.
Sebastian pulls him into motion. Ciel still wears these miserable clothes, but he no longer seems lost or haunted by the ghosts of his past. These are the very last clothes he was wearing before he decided to become the Earl of Phantomhive. Whoever our Ciel used to be—the child that he was before he chose to kill himself and took up the name of Ciel Phantomhive—was then “buried” forever in these clothes.
This quiet moment where only the two of them are dancing with wisps of blue represents that moment of transformation—the last moments our Ciel exists as his past self before he dies and the Earl of Phantomhive was reborn. Sebastian holds him as he looks up for the last time and peacefully, with no resistance, closes his eyes.
The frame expands and then we see him dancing with the servants—in the same order that they were found: Finnian, Mei, and Bard. The lighting is warm and luxurious, the servants clap and cheer him on, and he’s wearing gorgeous, expensive clothes—as he always wears when he’s with Sebastian—as the Earl of Phantomhive. This is possibly the cutest footage I’ve ever seen in my life.
And finally; Sebastian holds him up (or more like he climbs Sebastian; which also speaks a lot of their relationship) as he reaches up and grabs the star. This is the role Sebastian has always held in Ciel’s heart—he is his support, his closest, most intimate companion, and perhaps the tool (literally being treated like a ladder) for Ciel to reach his goal; while Ciel also trusts Sebastian not to drop him or let him down.
I don’t think I’ll ever shut up about how Sebastian is the one who pulled Ciel out of that hell—it is my Roman Empire and I will write 999 posts about it. I love how; although Sebastian and Ciel’s relationship may be morally questionable; at the end of the day, Sebastian is still the one who allows Ciel to grow into who he is—to rise and grasp the star with his own hand.
This ending is terribly bittersweet as we watches Ciel’s journey—both his pain, his determination, and the companions he gains and achievement he grasps—as he dances through the waltz.
On the cover, the characters are dancing in the Empress Ballroom in Blackpool, England. It opened in 1896.
Each of the pairs is dancing a different dance:
• Ciel and Sebastian (Black Butler Couple): Viennese waltz (Yana Toboso originally wanted to make them dance Argentine tango as the dance looks "as if the couple is fighting")
Haha haa haha haha yeah sure "fighting"
In all seriousness, the dance does look like a couple fighting
The cheek grab seems to be a favorite. As if saying "look at me, and me alone." (And we all know how Sebastian is about Ciel's cheeks.)
(x, x)
look at this grumpy little fella he's so teeny tiny 😭😭
Ciel day 2024!

A moment to once again appreciate the wonderful appearance of Sebastian with glasses...

while sebastian is wearing onod's clothes, ciel is wearing the boy's rabbit costume from the video !!
Can i ask you to translate 2 entries on Yan's blog? This yanatoboso*tuna.*be/20135203*html and yanatoboso*tuna*be/19155175*html (change * for . ) Thank you!
Here you are~: (The translations below are not proofread!)
Title: feeling embarrassed/ashamed
I think Sebastian never feels embarassed or ashamed, since he’s hyper-narcissistic.If anything, he could only pretend to be ashamed (lol) […]
inscription: I think demons generally don’t understand the feeling of embarrassment/shame, since they’re hyper-narcissistic.
ハイパーナルシストなので、照れたりはしない感じがします。恥じ入る、というのがフリでしか出来ない感じ?(笑)たぶん悪魔は照れるという感情が分かりません ハイパーナルシストだから。
Title: Come to think of it, …
Actually, his principal profession is depraving and dooming human beings.
そういえば
人間を堕落させて終わらせるのが本職でした。
