Symbolism & potential foreshadowing for the Green Witch Arc?

Hey all!

So, I just watched the first ep of the Public School arc and it was so good and well done! And as we were going through the OP, I saw some potential symbolism or foreshadowing for the Green Witch arc. Or at least, things that reminded me of it and was curious to see what others thought!

SPOILERS FOR THE MANGA UP TO CH 129

1st image: The bandages after Ciel gets exposed to the mustard gas

2nd image: Ciel wandering the woods, also symbolizing the 'cursed forest'...

3rd, 4th, and 5th images reminded me specifically of this:

6th and 7th: Ciel's inner struggle and the two pairs of hands symbolizing the twins?

Did I love you enough?

“Everyone loves you more than you think they do. So it’ll be okay. This isn’t the last time you’ll ever see them. It’s the start of a new banquet, right?”

+ last but not least:

«Learn to love youself»? What does that mean? How are we supposed to find something good about ourselves? The whole reason we hate ourselves…is because we can only see the parts we hate. So forcing ourselves to find ’good points’ feels hollow, like we’re making things up. It’s not like that. That’s not how it works. I think that it’s only when someone says they love you, that you’re able to start loving yourself. I think when someone accepts you, that’s when you start feeling like you can forgive yourself a little and start to love yourself.

repeat after me:

even if i don’t like my body today i will take care of it

even if i don’t like myself today i will still be patient and kind with myself

even if i do not love myself i will still take care of and be kind to myself, despite not wanting to

This tweet totally describes me

[singingforthepromises]

trauma doesn’t often feel like trauma is ‘supposed’ to feel. it feels like indifferent detachment, watching from outside yourself because nothing can hurt you there. it feels normal, just how people interact, so why are you making a big deal about it?  it feels like a joke – just how kids play, just how adults tease, just how some relationships work.

you wake from nightmares five years later and still wonder if you made it all up.

trauma can look like bad behaviour. like the stubborn refusal to get better, to stop self-destructing. trauma is putting yourself in harm’s way because you don’t really mean it, or because it’s funny, or because you just want to feel something, or because you just want to stop feeling. it’s wanting to destroy and reassemble yourself into another person entirely, so your real life can begin. because this isn’t real. because really bad things don’t happen to people like you.

trauma is the constant feeling of being an impostor. it’s the drive to survive twinned with the impulse to make yourself more sick in more ways. to hurt yourself to prove how bad you feel, or to punish yourself for exaggerating. you want people to believe what you’ve been through, to tell you your feelings are real, that your memories really happened. but when people do take you seriously, you play it off as a joke, apologize for bringing the mood down.

you go on and on about how it wasn’t that bad. you seek permission to still love the ones who hurt you, because it’s the people closest to us who can hurt us most deeply.

you can feel like the people who hurt you are the only ones who really knew you. in low self esteem, you can mistake cruelty for honesty.

there will always be people who have been through worse. that doesn’t make what happened to you okay.

there will always be people who don’t believe you. that doesn’t mean you are lying.

at some point, you have to take yourself seriously. you have to make a life you can stand to live. it’s the only way to survive.
