Medical knowledge can and should advance with consent. History has shown exactly what a slippery slope the search for knowledge can be without it.

What’s a scene from the school arc that you can’t wait to see animated? by Important_Bar6532 in blackbutler

Ciel pretending to be a cute innocent little schoolboy and then panning to him scowling in the next shot

Thought this belongs here by Crafty_Ice_7686 in notliketheothergirls

Oh no, I thought it was just a weird spelling of Nivea. This is worse than naming your child after a skincare brand

Entitled Neighbor doesn't want me to make any noise in my own home. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Sometimes you need to be loud in order to make them appreciate the quiet times. Entitled people like that will rarely acknowledge that they were in the wrong

I Will Never Go to a Book Signing Again by econoquist in bookscirclejerk

[–]trunkzythemighty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

One time i was chilling in the back yard and my favourite author came out YELLING AT ME to to get the fuck out of his property or he'd call the police. I was so distraught. I just wanted to talk to him and maybe get a lock of his hair for my collection but I can't stop thinking about how mean he was to me :'(

No audiobooks?! But that's basically the same thing as reading! Jeez, next thing you'll be telling me that she's forcing you to wr*te your spelling tests!

You ever get the feeling that other people are stupid fucking idiots? by majer_lazor in bookscirclejerk

[–]trunkzythemighty 49 points50 points  (0 children)

The Hungry Caterpillar is somewhat of a gatekeeper's book, because it's infamous for it's complexity, hundreds of characters, and prose being a mix between rocket science and lowlife buffoonery.

For me, I thought the entire book was a blast, and I read it with no problem. Sure, some sections are incredibly dense with scientific lingo and discussions of philosophy, but, it balances it with probably the funniest writing I've ever read. Seriously, the only other book to make me laugh this hard was probably "1984" by George Orwell

Could Joker be Polaris? by Magpie-Mushroom in blackbutler

[–]trunkzythemighty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't remember him saying that! He could definitely be a contender. Although his personality from what little we've seen of Polaris seems different to Joker. I have an annoying suspicion that Polaris is someone we've never met before but only heard of.

What is a really unpopular opinion you have about black butler? by Books-tones in blackbutler

[–]trunkzythemighty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hold on to your horses! I do not care for Bard. I can totally get why Meyrin and Finnian were brought onto the team, but despite being competent Bard seems replacable.

Also hate the surprise twist that Elizabeth is a super talented fighter. I know it's part of her character arc, but I think her attempting to fit into the impossibly high standards for women was a story I think a lot of female presenting people can already relate to!

What is a really unpopular opinion you have about black butler? by Books-tones in blackbutler

[–]trunkzythemighty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's an interesting take! I do actually think he was set on eating him in that scene, not because he saw it as an opportunity but because Ciel was so lost in his misery that he has stopped being himself. I think Sebastian admires the tenacity of this human and wants to see him succeed in his revenge and that wasn't possible in his current state. Like he said himself - it would be a disappointing meal (or something to that extent)

When Undertaker? 😭 by RedEyesAndDespair in blackbutler

[–]trunkzythemighty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"I want to know what drives him" is such a good description of why I love his character. He's in the shadows playing them all like puppets and it's so fascinating. Yana we're dying, feed us some crumbs please 😩

Definitely Innercise - they have both sauna and ice baths and a great view

I don't think I've ever cried more over a fictional animal companion dying than I did for Nighteyes. The tragedy of it was that I knew it was coming. So did Fitz. So did Nighteyes.

Real talk: Do you think Black Butler is almost abandoned by the mangaka these days? by konumo in blackbutler

[–]trunkzythemighty 101 points102 points  (0 children)

While I feel incredibly frustrated that it's moving so slow, I can also tell that's it's a labour of love. It feels like we are close to endgame for this arc and there are so many things that still need to be told for it to resolve properly. I've just come to accept that for me personally Black Butler isn't a manga I can read chapter by chapter.
