#I pulled this out of thin air

[sebadztian]

So, uh, I'm sure that this must've been brought up before, but I don't know where to find the text.

I think, UT's final goal is to stuff o!Ciel's soul into r!Ciel's body.

At this point of time, we can safely assume that this Bizarre Dolls (BD) project has been going on for quite a number of years.

UT has salvaged r!Ciel's body from the fire three years ago, so he must've known then what he wanted to do with it.

Let's review the progression of the BD...

In the Campania arc, they were nothing but mindless zombie who craves brain soul.

But in the flashback, we were shown that r!Ciel was also on-board and he looked much more... advanced than those zombie-like creature. So, I think those zombies were created specially for the purpose of military experiment on unstoppable army, just like what he's told o!Ciel, Seb, Grell, and Ron.

Then there were Agares, Arden, and the other students in Public School arc (which will air next April! 😁). They were all BDs, but they were at different stages. Agares, clumsy as he was, has managed to perform day-to-day tasks, including leading several school ceremonies. I wonder why UT has made the others the way they were. If he'd made them like Agares, then the Queen wouldn't have been suspicious and she wouldn't have sent o!Ciel there.

(but then we wouldn't get to see Professor Michaelis, so I'm glad that UT has done it this way)

Back to the point...

During Bard's mini-arc, we learned that the BD has evolved even further than we thought. Layla has two souls stuffed inside one body. I don't know if "Al" has always been a part of her or if the other soul/personality had been stuffed into her body when she was 'revived', but this shows that it is possible to have two souls/'person' in one body.

Which brings me back to my initial point, about the twins.

UT has said it himself that he doesn't want to lose another Phantomhive. I don't know what his relationship is with the family, and I won't talk about that in this post. What I want to talk about is why he's salvaged r!Ciel's body and why it has to be done this way.

I mean, if you think about it, he could've just focused on protecting o!Ciel. He's shown that he's more than capable to match Seb in combat, or even defeat the demon. He could've just 'rescue' o!Ciel from Sebastian and be done with it. But why must he use r!Ciel's body?

It's about preservation.

He said that he's aged r!Ciel's body to match o!Ciel. It implies that he can also stop the ageing process, which, if you want to preserve a life, it would be the best way to go about it because a human body will eventually fail itself when it gets old & frail enough.

But a BD is different. They're strong, they can be aged when needed, or kept at their current age. If r!Ciel's physical form continues to be grown and aged until it reaches young adulthood and then UT stopped the ageing process, then potentially, that body could be immortal.

But it's still missing one key ingredient, the soul.

Now, I write this under the assumption that Seb has consumed r!Ciel's soul. Which makes this BD soulless.

This is where o!Ciel comes in. He still has his soul, so by combining the two (r!Ciel's body & o!Ciel's soul, UT can create a 'whole' person, strong & immortal).

But what if Sebastian has lied and he hasn't actually consumed r!Ciel's soul? Then that's when Layla situation would happen, that there would be two souls inside r!Ciel's body.

But Badz, why not just make o!Ciel a BD?

If some of you read my coffin post from months ago, I talked about how UT has prepared a special coffin for o!Ciel, one that he might use to preserve o!Ciel's body. So, why doesn't he just take him from Sebastian and keep him?

Because if r!Ciel's BD ever failed or stopped working, then UT would need a spare body to stuff the soul into.

At their current state, BD is still imperfect and he needs more time to work on r!Ciel's body and how to create the perfect BD. If he took o!Ciel prematurely, both bodies might fail him and he wouldn't have any Phantomhive left to work on.

UT has never been shy to express his dislike of the queen and what she's making o!Ciel do, what kind of danger she has put him in.

Which is another reason why he hasn't really tried to take the boy from Sebastian. Or to kill the demon.

What he didn't say was "... until the day that I'd take him from you."

He knows that as long as o!Ciel has Sebastian by his side, the boy will be safe because Sebastian is contractually bound to protect him. He actually trusts a demon to keep o!Ciel's soul safe because he knows of a demon's nature, how protective they could be of their 'meals'.

This is just my own take on UT and his end goal. Think of it as a headcanon or something like that. This is based on my own assumption.

At this point, all of us are in the dark of what could've been his motive. I'm just trying to have some fun while reading the manga, so please don't come to my post and attack me if you disagree with me.

Thank you!

she can't shake the wonder that his aura brought from her being in his presence. wondering what he was hiding, wondering who he actually was, and wondering why he was so fucking curious about her were the thoughts fighting for dominance in her mind as she began to leave ― just before she turned back around to scold him further. he was full of mystery, and she wanted to play the role of nancy drew. she could almost feel the footsteps behind her, knowing that he wasn't done with her. "didn't win? i refuse to believe you're this insufferable all the time. spare me." blue eyes roll at him again, her own scoff spilling into the space between them. "and just what should've flattered me about having your attention? the part where you called me desperate, or the part where you insulted my red bottoms?" she shrugs her shoulders at him. "oh? ― now, you want to know who i am?" she shakes her blonde head of hair at him, stalling. she doesn't answer him right away, instead she looks around at the workers hustling to clean up the remainder of the night at the casino. a drink server walks past them with a tray of glasses to discard, and it gives her an idea. "mary." she stole from the leftover bloody mary that went by them in the background. she offers him a sarcastic smile, her hand coming to rest over her chest in her theatrics. "you're going to think about me tomorrow? ― that's so cute."

the juvenile response rips an amused scoff from him. he has to admit that this cat and mouse game had been the highlight of his evening. this place was monotonous without being boring -- devoid of life while bursting with it simultaneously. he didn't get the same thrill from the city of sin that he once did. the charms were undeniably picturesque with the neon lights and chiming slot machines that were harbor of wealth for the lucky. but seeing the same misfortune day in and day out -- the same game with different players eager to be the best, rome couldn't help his apathy. but what was he supposed so do with his evening once the blonde had strutted away? was he to simply retreat back to his apartment and lay his head to rest as if the adrenaline that thrived within him would subside? rome takes soft cavaliere strides as he follows behind her, hands tucked snug in his dress pant pockets. "you didn't win, you just earned my full attention. i wouldn't be flattered either. it's a rather dangerous thing." now, he's following her - cat and mouse. "what's your name? i need to know what name to search for in the arrest logs tomorrow. or are you one of the tragic, missed connection radio show type girls?"

So! An au!

Siffrin is indeed fine as a Bigfrin, well aside the world isn't fine, sure he said the wish and got accepted... But oops it didn't work we're now stuck

And while the world around them is now a broken version of it they can only try to work with it, maybe Siffrin will shrink on their own

And for now Siffrin can help however they can, maybe hold the leftover books that library had or read the forgotten country books

Considering he now is a lot stronger no sadness or harm would hurt their friends

Sadly I didn't get to draw any of silly things Bonnie and others would do to keep Siffrin and everyone's spirit up, like I can see a hat being a cool thing to play with in its gigantic version

And Universe knows what is Loop up to in this interesting predicament

gf was walking yesterday carrying a pack of laminate flooring on one shoulder, cigarette in mouth, combat boots, jacket open (warm) with just a sparkly pink ann summers bra on and some old guy outside a pub was like "you see? THAT'S how lasses USED to be built" literally obsessed with the world this man grew up in where the women have the strength of farmhands and the bodies of supermodels. chain-smoking in combat boots and lingerie with a buzzcut. please sir the people need answers. where is it.

I just think Sethos is a weirder guy than Scara purely because Sethos is incredibly easygoing, Scara admits he once was part of the Fatui? Alright, cool, Sethos asks for the juicy beef between the Harbingers. Scara confides he tried to become a god? Ah, that fate can't just be handed to anyone.

Meanwhile Sethos promises gifts to unwitting victims just to see how far they'd go for it.

I saw a tweet where someone was lamenting all the overly hated characters in Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss. And they were all female.

They were all female.

I’m not surprised but it is this kind of thing that makes me embarrassed to say I like the show(s) still. Just the overabundance of hate toward women concentrated here makes me wanna throw up.

Trey and his kids at Idia’s door like

They come with hand made sweets, I swear.

Trey! Fyuuture kid au post

"Don't listen to them, Idia." He whispers to himeself. "They're lying. I don't smell anything good."

"That's kind of rude, don't you think?" Trey has that stupid sketchy (it's just his normal one) smile and the audacity to laugh. "You haven't even opened your door yet."

"There is no yet!" Idia furiously types. "I'm not letting you in!"

"Do it or you're a bi-" Trey gives his new hellspawn a look and she coughs. "Bad person. You'll be a reeeal bad person, didn't your parents teach you not to waste food?"

"Um, Idia?" He's never really had any problems with Yutu, he's got Yuu's sense to speak quietly and there's something capybara like about him that soothes some of Idia's nerves. "I know you don't like stuff that takes a long time to eat so I made some puddings from that 'My Second Life as a Jester: as If I Wasn't a Clown Already!' Show you recommended and um. They'll melt if I stay out here any longer-"

Idia slams open the door before he can finish his sentence and snaps up the little clown shaped pudding and shuffles back over to his computer. Fine. Yutu paid enough attention to detail to get the cute little faces right on the puddings so he guesses her can hear them out.
