thanks to @pain-in-the-butler 's tags on this beautiful post, I felt compelled because for personal matters ig I wanted to see this. and you know that I gotta procrastinate from big work with little work, so this is the lil product.
side note, in case it isn't obvious, I've never gone on twitch, so I had to do a silly amount of research to do this. but not too much, that would be criminal on a lazy Saturday.

Like many people Kuroshitsuji has been on my mind lately
And I know that one of the big debates is whether or not Sebastian cares about Ciel
But
What I find more interesting is how much the rest of the staff cares about Sebastian.
Bard Finny and Mey Rin genuinely give a damn about him. Bard lends Sebastian his nightclothes, he taught Finny how to read, they all admire him for the way he keeps the manor under control. When they thought he was dead, they cried for him.
It's just kind of profound, even if he loves no one, even if he's not capable of that, he's still so loved by these silly humans
Thinking about the tragedy that is Ciel and Sebastian’s relationship.
They have a twisted power dynamic. Sebastian’s stronger and is inevitably going to eat Ciels soul. Ciel has the power of the contract and is going to die in the end.
Sebastian is raising someone who refuses to be a child, raising him like cattle for the cultivation. Ciel know this, knows it well but he acts regardless, doesn’t let it deter him.
We, the readers, can tell that they have begun caring for each other. Against their better judgment, they care now. They worry when they get hurt, when things go wrong. But in the end, none of that’s going to matter.
Ciel is going to die at Sebastian’s hands. That’s as clear as day, a fact of life now. They both know.
Will Sebastian feel regret or will it just be another meal. Is Ciel going to be afraid or will it just be another night for him. What will they feel when the end is near?
A Tragedy is an story that is based on human suffering that culminates in catharsis.
Some kuro whips and many more I don’t want to show but here some Sebamey and Finny losing his mind cause we been getting so much of him being worry and freaking out.
this started as a little sketch of Sebas and just decided to finish it digitally. basically an experimentation on line work. but anyway, couldn't decide which version I wanted to go with, so there's Sebas being a creature mocking ciel for his grief, and Sebas having to confide in the servant he emotionally trusts most(and also doesn't truly respect :/ as much as Tanaka) to assure him that he didn't just cry at the birth of his stray cat's kittens and he can go back to see his master without being emotionally tarred and feathered. y'all can choose whichever you wanna stick with.
