Hello everyone and welcome to my Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji blog! I post and reblog images, edits, theories, analyses and news about Kuroshitsuji. I welcome your questions. But please first take a look at my FAQs and be creative. ;) (since I'm quite busy at the moment I'll sometimes have to close my askbox)

Looks familiar...?

Several times while wandering through the F.O.L. Orphanage Finny has the feeling that he has seen the building and the rooms within it somewhere before.

And he’s right. Parts of the orphanage look very similar to rooms in the Phantomhive Manor. Here are some examples (left: Phantomhive Manor; right: F.O.L. Orphanage):

There’s the big staircase at the entrance...

...the reception room...

...or the servants’ room:

Looks like someone modeled the orphanage after Phantomhive Manor.

And it’s not just the looks. The children in the orphanage are being taught to act like servants and to manage a household like a manor...

...and then there are children whose teachings (and way of dressing) are very similar to the Phantomhive twins’ education and tastes.

It kinda seems as if the orphanage is trying to recreate the twins. The focus on games...

...even the preference of certain tastes (which is something the “aptitude test” is asking about)...

...that they get their own room (which again looks familiar) when they turn ten (a very important date in the twins’ lives).

All these similarities to the twins are kinda eerie and too much to be a coincidence. I wonder what’s the purpose of that...
