two characters: flirty banter, clearly getting off on the power dynamics between them

people who are scared of going to hell for masturbating: he loves him like a son

me, hauving covid: can he call him that while they fuck

[caelus1875]

Bun, I've been wondering this for a wile, what do you think about demon mating seasons?

Any reason for Sebastian to be mad with lust and fuck Ciel all day every day is a yes for me.

I like to think of Ciel already having discovered Sebastian’s times in heat, in which Sebastian no longer has to formerly explain why he is about to ravage his young master because Ciel is used to certain affairs taking place. Such as:

Ciel excusing himself from a meeting to use the restroom, turning the corner and being snatched up by Sebastian who flings him into his bedroom, spreads his legs and has his way with him.

Sebastian and Ciel going out to handle certain affairs, Sebastian helping his little lord into the carriage and as soon as the door is closed, him grabbing Ciel, pulling his pants down and sitting him right on top of his cock. Ciel bouncing up and down more so from the demon’s desperation than from the bumpy carriage ride. 

Ciel waking in the middle of the night to a hand over his mouth and Sebastian’s slippery fingers between his legs. But, you see, while in heat, Sebastian has no patience so Ciel hollers when Sebastian slides the length of himself into the small boy, growling and uttering phrases in some god forsaken language as his claws tear at the bed sheets. 

This probably lasts for about a week. Sebastian must still be able to be one hell of a butler, in which he can perform all tasks without being distracted, so he has found that he can be sated for about an hour, maybe two. Ciel finds himself constantly gripped and swept away and used at least every other hour of this week. And by the end of it, he is covered in marks and bites and delicious scratches and he is quite fatigued, although with no complaints, and so Sebastian spends the week after pampering his little lord with massages, sweets, plenty of rest and anything else he may desire. Sometimes, the two of them plan ahead of time and clear their schedules in which they do not leave the confines of Ciel’s bedroom for days, or rather, they make stay in the townhouse and send Soma off to play with Lizzie instead.

the contrast between seb bathing ciel now vs when they first made their contract,, seb being sm more gentle with him, and ciel accepting his assistance, but also you can tell the level of attention seb pays to ciel hasn’t changed. in boa we saw seb trying to make sure ciel didn’t die of an infection, for the selfish purpose of making sure his meal survived. but now we see seb simply remark on ciel not getting any taller to tease him. idk. they make me sick

[caelus1875]

imagine being a kuroverse demon and just constantly hearing about this other demon who's made a multi year long contract with some unhinged little boy who bullies him and also finding out he's constantly at risk of being brutally tortured, assaulted and possibly killed by grim reapers, particularly a very strong one who has deep ties to the family of the kid he's serving and yet he's STILL having fun playing servant and doesn't mind things getting dragging out .... and THEN you find out he doesn't like the pets back home (hell) and has a thing for these pointy eared creatures that hack up hairballs every now and then, like literally chasing them and squealing about them. and that is the one thing that really makes him happy and YET the brat he's serving is allergic to them too and somehow he's still putting up w all this 😭😭😭

i would stage an intervention for him tbh.

faggot 😭😭

This post is my plea for every SBCL devotee to go back and (re)read the extra chapters. I believe Chapter 96.5 was the first. It was released during the GWA but takes place during BoC. In this chapter, Sebastian appears to be affected by whatever liquor Joker pours him and shares a personal anecdote about one of his earlier... shall we say, consequential decisions... in filling the role of butler.

I'll refrain from posting the whole chapter here, but this is where the real fun starts. Sebastian, disguised as Black, is offered a seat at the table, already including o!Ciel (obviously disguised as Smile), and Joker pours the former a drink.

I love this page in particular because Sebastian's first line is very deliberately phrased, making his second line all the more intriguing. The fact that, for the past year, he's never been officially employed as a chef but has been made to do the job of one, on top of many others, is a particular semantic detail that tells me he's still binding himself to the contract despite the fact that he's not actually speaking to Ciel. I believe Ciel is sitting across from him at the table, and the immediate cut to his reaction stresses the importance of his listening ear. If his presence at the table means that Sebastian is still bound by the contract here, then Sebastian must be telling the truth when he says that he, despite being a demon, has never experienced drunkenness.

This lends credence to the idea that Sebastian's past experiences with the human world, pre-contract-with-o!Ciel, have been extremely limited, possibly exclusively consisting of bloodlust and orgies and various forms of destruction/consumption, possibly to such an extent that Sebastian could hardly be considered a person prior to said contract.

Joker shares a harshly bittersweet story about Doll having believed in the tooth fairy back when they and the rest of the orphans were living on the streets. I cried re-reading it even though you know exactly how it's going to go. Sebastian raises the glass to his lips.

At this point, we see that Sebastian has stacked up five or six glasses with another in hand, but only if you really look at the bottom left corner of the first panel, where your eyes are automatically drawn to the next speech bubble in the opposite corner. Even the little sparkles in the first panel draw your attention away from that bottom left corner of the first panel, building the final comedic reveal.

Aaand this is where Sebastian begins to overshare and recount his experience pulling out one of Ciel's teeth without his permission during the early days of their contract, framing his master's horrified reaction to his sudden intrusion as something relatable-y unexpected, petulant, and amusing in its childishness, even though his audience reacts with the same horror. We know Sebastian is telling the truth when he says he thought he would be doing his master a favor, but for once, after what I counted to be 22 glasses, his devilishly earnest intentions fail at passing him for an eccentric human and betray his otherworldly nature.

All the extra chapters are either outlandish AUs or one-off missing scenes set in the past, the latter of which always involve at-least-slightly OOC nonsense for the sake of humor + silly costumes (save for this one, really). I choose to believe that the only OOC element present in this extra chapter is Sebastian taking a seat at the same table as his young master, even if only for the sake of his disguise. Everything else, I take at face value.

royalty ciel and his loyal knight, sebastian, parading around a ball. arms linked, with sebastian giving the run down on anyone in attendance that catches ciel’s eye with the intent of finding him a suitor. ciel who only asks after the tall, mysterious, and handsome as a not-so subtle indicator that all he wants is sebastian. he’s been single for so many years because all he wants is ever by his side already. it is sebastian he returns to bed with; sebastian who knows him mind, body, and soul; ciel could not care less what their respective stations mean. he and sebastian are together, and no public outcry of the people or noblemen can change his mind.

[caelus1875]

ciel has to be in love with sebastian otherwise how else does he listen to all of those annoying as fuck catchphrases

[caelus1875]

Sebaciel is the ultimate goth couple and I love them for that

Prospero & Ariel vs Ciel & Sebastian | Part 3 (Romance Edition - Extra)

Chapter 216's Main Question: Is Sebastian Ariel or Miranda?

This is a continuation of Part 1 and Part 2.

I don't know if everyone agrees but this chapter is really giving us the option between Sebastian being Ariel or Miranda within the narrative.

if we go off his own words:

He thinks he is Ariel, slaving away for a man who may or may not love him. Ariel stays a servant til the end and is finally let go of Prospero despite him saying that he will miss Ariel. In many interpretations, Ariel is the one who ultimately changes Prospero through love and is the reason all's well that ends well (this is not a pun).

But beyond his own personal words, Yana portrays him as Miranda on the chapter cover, even the quote on the chapter cover ("Ah, the wonderful human world.") echoes her final words in the play.

Miranda, while content as Ferdinand's maid or servant, ends up marrying him in the end. She gets what Ariel didn't get: the love she was asking for and a consummation of her feelings through marriage. Ariel is a spirit and cannot have such a thing. Only Prospero sees Ariel, they are not able to be together even if Prospero had wanted that. But he also wanted to set Ariel free once everything was over.

It's no coincidence that both of these characters ask their respective "lord" if they are loved or not. And while are both loved and it is hard to question it, Prospero's love is unclear and other than saving Ariel at the start, he never really does anything for Ariel's sake while Ferdinand is willing to work for Miranda's father and ultimately for her sake. (Prospero makes Ferdinand work for them like a slave to test his love of Miranda.)

And let's look at Ciel here:

Both in Chapter 215 and 216, he clarifies he is doing something for Sebastian's sake, cleaning up his affair. It's not a particularly kind or loving thing to say but Prospero doesn't have to do anything for Ariel. He doesn't defend Ariel verbally (nobody can see Ariel), he doesn't bring Ariel food (Ariel never gets injured), he doesn't gets him tea (like... seriously) and indeed, Ariel doesn't have a past scandal that Prospero has to go to the smoking room to solve. But these are all things that happen between these two.

So, who is Sebastian? Is he more like Ariel, who is ultimately freed but never experiences reciprocal love from Prospero? Or is he more so Miranda, who would be Ferdinand's servant if he had rejected her but ultimately is loved enough that he will work for her and ends up marrying her (then cheating at a game of chess as they play together)? Yana drew him as the latter on the cover while he sees himself as the former. Perhaps he is both, and perhaps these were just one off comparisons. But it doesn't hurt to read the play and think about these two characters who Yana so desperately wants us to draw connections to.

Prospero & Ariel vs Ciel & Sebastian | Part 2 (Romance Edition)

What did the comparison in Chapter 216 really mean?

Please read Part 1!

What I love here is that Ciel does not deny he and Sebastian are akin to Prospero and Ariel but rather he expresses the fact he is troubled by the fact Sebastian has had a prior relationship with Modri Vladis (if that is true). He instead calls back to the end of the previous chapter where he had straight up said he is cleaning up after Sebastian's past affair. He's sort of rubbing the fact that he is doing something for Sebastian's sake in his face. Anyway, the relationship between Prospero and Ariel is not explicitly* romantic or parental. But it is fascinating.

*Well... I'll get to that.

In the final act, Prospero regards letting go of Ariel as setting them free but also calls them very fondly. He does so multiple times in this scene.

Kuroshitsuji calls The Tempest a romance. The main plot of this Shakespearean story is not romance. In fact, it is more of a tragicomedy than anything. The side plot however is a romance. Miranda, Prospero's daughter, and Ferdinand, Prince of Naples, develop a romance and end up together. But these two characters are quite obviously foils for Prospero and Ariel whose relationship is trapped in the mould of master and servant; while Miranda, despite ending up at Ferdinand's wife, says she is willing to be his servant if he does not take her as his wife.

Miranda, unlike the inherently tragic relationship between Ariel and Prospero that remains secret and ends with separation, ends up marrying her love Ferdinand, rather than ending up his servant. But, despite this, she still treats Ferdinand as a master even as they play chess and she accuses him of cheating, calling him 'Sweet Lord' (Ariel also calls Prospero 'my lord') and claiming she does not care if he cheats and takes over the world. Sebastian is also shown as Miranda in the chapter cover.

Her attitude of servitude in their game of chess is rather familiar. It echoes the way Sebastian and Ciel engage in chess, Ciel breaks the rules and cheats while Sebastian supports him wholeheartedly. In Prospero and Ariel's case, Prospero too is cheating against his enemies using Ariel.

Not much more to say. I'll leave you all with this.

Very cute of a comparison, considering these two were... romantically charged. To say the least.

"Do you love me, master, no?" (Act 3, Scene 1) / Ariel claims Prospero is tender, causing him to forgive his brother (Act 5, Scene 1) / Ariel dresses Prospero and after being given an order, says he will return before Prospero's heart beats twice (Act 5, Scene 1)

Highly recommend reading this and how Ariel's one-sided love changed Prospero.

It is Ariel's very love that makes possible Prospero's forgiveness, his return to the fullness of his humanity. In her love for him, for his humanity that she alone can fully perceive, Ariel becomes the protagonist of forgiveness. Prospero, through this love that comes as total gift, completes Ariel's lines. Ariel's love converts, opening up Prospero to the value of "virtue" above vengeance. The ease through which Prospero forgives is not itself the result of magic. It is instead the power of Ariel's love, which was forming Prospero throughout the play, that makes possible a return gift of love upon the part of Prospero. In this sense, perhaps The Tempest is actually Shakespeare's greatest love story. It reveals a love, which cannot be consummated (for a spirit cannot unite with body), that nonetheless makes possible the "comedy" of The Tempest. It is a love that opens up Prospero to a world of values, which only slowly (throughout the play) become his own. Such love ironically is offered by a non-human character, who nonetheless humanizes the protagonist. The genius of Shakespeare's comedies (and The Tempest is at least kind of one of these) for the Christian is that it opens us up to the manner in which love humanizes the world. It manifests to us in dramatic form what happens when a kind of "divine" love leads to conversion. — Timothy P. O’Malley, August 30, 2016

i don't know how to draw kissing humans

[caelus1875]

one of my friends said that Sebastian reminds them of Walter White because of the commitment to the bit which led to this amazing segment of text which I think about every day

[caelus1875]

I need arranged marriage fics where Ciel is a young maiden who is married off to a dark brooding man named Sebastian that scares her a little. I need her to be desperate to not marry him and then for him to lure her in like Jareth in Labyrinth.

I need the Gothic theme! I need the intense wedding! I want to write it myself but I can't write for shit!

[caelus1875]

the perfect size to cover your entire body.

[caelus1875]

Sebastian is not cunning and he's not stoic he's a wet loser and a liar who is running from his feelings 🫵
