what kind of accents do you think the cast has? im a dub main for various reasons (one of my friends had a reading/memory disability so i ended up watching dub w them) so im kinda used to everyones dub accents.
but bards defo got an american accent right? (not in the dub, but im thinking manga terms?)
and ik soma & agni have barely a trace of an accent but does that mean they sound basically british?
and does finny have a german accent? sieglinde? diedrich?
(Sorry it’s been a rough couple days and I didn’t realize I hadn’t published this yet.)
Hey anon… so I’m a bit confused as to if you’re asking about the Japanese accents in the various anime, the English dub accents (or some other dub), or just my thoughts on what their various accents would be like based on the manga and independent of the anime.
Now I have only watched Kuro in English bc that’s the only thing that was available/that’s available on what I have at the moment (though I’m finally getting the blu rays for BoM and BoA so I’m hoping they’ll have the Japanese to try that out for once), so I can’t make judgements based on that. (And I’m not a good one to ask about Japanese accents anyway, lol.)
I also favor dubs bc of my disability. I love hearing the Japanese but it can be hard for me to follow sometimes, and even english alone without captions I can struggle with (please fix this, CR!!! Grr), so I feel you there.
Also not sure which characters you had in mind with this ask (other than the ones you specifically mentioned). Since kuro has so many, I guess I’ll just focus on a few. I want to make clear I am American and Latine, so I am not an expert on British regional accents by any stretch, or the historical accents of the Victorian period, so I’ll just do my best. Some may be partly inspired by how the characters are written in Japanese, since there’s a bit more… complexity to the Japanese language in regards to things like formality, rudeness, etc, that may not convert into English when translated in writing.
This is a long post so I’ll use a readmore to keep it a bit less chaotic. Below the break I’ve broken down my hypotheses on how some of the major players might talk:
Looking for a safe, hate free Black Butler discord?
Not a sebaciel shipper but have nothing against it or you’re a multishipper or like gen?
Want somewhere to find and share content, even if you’re not a creator yourself?
Try the Kuro Neko Discord!
It is open to all ships, gen, reader inserts, OCs, self shippers, memers, cosplayers, meta makers, anyone in the fandom that is pro ship/ship and let ship! Non creators are welcome!
Quick run down of the rules!
18+ only
Be kind. No drama, no arguing, no ship or content hate. There’s also no bigotry, gatekeeping, or exclusionism of any kind.
Please post in the correct channel. Each channel as a description, and if you have a question, feel free to ask! We’re made to curate member’s experience as much as possible in discord!
If you don’t like a ship/content type or discussion going on in a channel (such as, discussion of dead dove or dark content in a shipping channel) please mute it! Respect others’ ability to ship, create, and consume content they like.
As a side note: @plague-of-insomnia and I are very serious about keeping this a safe environment for members and creators. Bigotry of any form will not be tolerated. This includes gatekeepers and exclusionism of any form.
Please send either myself or @plague-of-insomnia an off anon ask to receive an invite! We won’t publicly publish your ask, and remember to check your inbox periodically for a response after requesting an invite, and feel free to ask questions if you have any!
Reminder that I always share my translations (at least summaries if not the full chapter) for Kuro each month here, along with some doujins that I don’t necessarily post publicly.
If you can abide by the rules and are proship, you’re welcome to request an invite.
We’re selective because we want to keep the discord a safe space for anyone to discuss any ships, headcanons, or other fan content they wish, with other like-minded people.
:)
Reminder that you MUST send us an OFF-ANON ask if you want an invite. We will NOT publish your name, so you don’t have to worry about that. We will respond privately.
In light of the new TOS, @plague-of-insomnia and myself will be reblogging this a lot more often.
Please blacklist “Kuro Neko rb” if you don’t want to keep seeing this post! We know it’s long.
We’ve also been having some issues with invites, so if we’ve responded to you and your link isn’t working, let us know about we can give you a new link!
Remember, it’s just POI and myself handing out invites, and we both only have so many spoons so please be patient with us!

as soon as i figure out whether there’s any practical difference between ‘that’ and ‘which’ in a sentence, you’re all finished
“That” is if the clause specifies which one, “which” is if you’re giving extra information.
“She took the bag that contains the loot” means that she took one of several bags, in particular, the one that happens to contain the loot.
“She took the bag, which contains the loot” means that there’s only one bag you might be referring to, and that the fact that she took it is important because it contains the loot.
Also, there’s a comma before “which” but not before “that.”
