The butler of the Burnett House and his real identity is Grell Sutcliff, the Scarlet Reaper

Grell Sutcliff is one of my favorite characters. Clumsy and cute as a butler, deadly and beautiful as a reaper – this duality combines extremely well. The brightness of the image, the explosive character, the love of red, which makes the reaper even more memorable – what dilutes and colors the atmosphere of gloomy London and its inhabitants

I know most of us (including me) laughed (quite a lot) on this scene because; Earl Ciel “Sebastian-Kill-Them-All” Phantomhive of all people, is saying something like this about killing people? It sounds so fake and ridiculous right? Hypocritical, even. But I also think it’s rather empathetic of Ciel to say this in front of the Weston boys because he understands that these boys did not murder out of evil intent; it was a crime of passion, not premeditated. I’m sure that in Ciel’s eyes, these upperclassmen of his are still much more innocent than he is—and so when he speaks to them, he is speaking to “normal people”, not serial murderers. But while Ciel does not see the prefects as evil people, he doesn’t infantilize them either. He does not empathize with them trying to justify their actions; because things like school values or reputation is not a worthy cause for these boys to kill someone over. At the same time Ciel may not personally care about the lives of Derrick Arden and the others, but he does not think students should turn into murderers over such menial issues.

In comparison, when he speaks to Joker in BOC, he was unfiltered and candid—he’s speaking of something he personally believes; that deep cynicism and distrust in humanity. Unlike the Weston students, Joker’s actions were premeditated; he planned to kidnap children—knowing they would be abused and turned into some sick plaything before brutally murdered—and methodically eliminated witnesses to avoid getting caught. Joker knew exactly what he was doing when he organized these crimes to sacrifice others for his family’s lives. And yet the way Ciel spoke, he wasn’t passing judgement on Joker at all; he acutely understood the despair of facing injustice with no one lending a helping hand; the desperate wish to protect one’s family and loved ones above what’s considered to be morally correct by society; he knows better than anyone else how hell is paved with good intentions. This too, was incredibly empathetic in a strange way that only Ciel could be. Although Joker lamented their fate as abandoned orphans living in an apathetic society, Ciel does not pity them and thus did not simply reduce them to gullible victims of their circumstances. He did not justify Joker’s actions, and he did not justify his own actions in killing Joker and the circus crew either—he was incredibly self aware and fair; equally as ruthless to other people as with himself. He understood that everyone acted in their own interests. By removing complicated principles of morality out of the equation, he is able to see things clearly and act decisively without ridiculous notions of human morality. After all, what use does he have for it when his soul is already damned anyway?

Ciel keeps away from people and refrains from making personal attachments; and yet he is still very empathetic to each of them without even meaning to. In the flashbacks, he was also depicted to be a sensitive and kindhearted child. Despite everything he has gone through, he still retains a bit of that gentleness and sincerity from his childhood; which I think comes with being naturally emotionally intelligent—he has an unusually acute insight on people which certainly helps his business acumen, and ironically also helps him know how to lie and act in front of other people. While Sebastian is a “master of understanding human desires”, Ciel understands the complexity and most basic nature of humanity better than anyone else; which forms both his cynicism and his own brand of empathy.

Soma makes my heart go ❤️🩵🩷🩵❤️🩵🩵🩷❤️🫶🫶🩵🩵❤️❤️🩷🩷 I love him sm😭😭

He's a cutie

i am ashamed to say I thoroughly enjoy black butler season two... I know that most of the fandom has disowned it but I truly love it.

The story is interesting, and I love the parallels between Sebastian and Claude. and Alois??? Ugh I love Alois so much.

I also feel like this season definitely leans into the metaphor of demons being predators. When Alois told Claude to not look at him like the old man did it made me so sad and sick to my stomach for him. Poor kid went from one predatory situation to another.

I feel like this season is also kinda showing that Sebastian DOES care about Ciel at least a little bit, but again this could just be me comparing him to the bastard that is Claude ( I hateeee Claude)

Anyways, I think Kuroshitsuji 2 is underrated

no thoughts , just Sebastian Michaelis

does ciel know how lucky he is
