Antis monopolizing "problematic show/fandom space deep dive" videos on youtube for normies, acting like they're also normies about to explain you a thing, will talk about how civil/level headed "nuanced", and "neutral" they are towards shipping culture, and talk about "anti" culture in air quotes implying antis don't even exist at all(because they're trying to just hide the fact they are one and are being completely condescending and biased) but then they'll go on to give an "example" of shipping culture that's like an official tweet or piece of artwork made by the creator or something, but they'll put like, some audio from like a jokey spongebob meme over it or whatever just to indicate how disgusted they are to even have to show you this and how you should be too... And then they'll be like "Again I don't care and have absolutely no problem with people who ship this ship/interoperate this story this way... Just MAYBE keep it to yourself, don't tell me, and don't interact in the comment section of my video I at least partially made about shipping, talking about how unbiased, uncaring, and "neutral" I am towards the fact that you ship this at all because woah, we're like, trying to Be Civil and not rock the boat here! UWU"

And then you'll look at their pinned comment in the comment section and It'll be like "PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BE CIVIL Y'ALL! UWU"

Oh, Sweetie? Who needs to Be Civil here? The people that already agree with all your takes, don't actually ship the thing, and look down on the people who do while you 'heart' all their comments but you'll delete mine in a heartbeat if I tried?

And then everyone in their comment section will be like: What a civil, leveled headed, nuanced take that nobody who actually likes the thing in the way you don't will ever be allowed to share theIr thoughts on or interact with even though they're already big part of the fandom what had to be discussed to make the video, good job girl! :D

And the video itself is like, two hours long...

And it's being made by vivziepop fans who already "ironically" hate themselves for "enjoying" vivziepop... Just like how they "ironically" hate themselves for "enjoying" Yana Toboso...

Because who else but some filthy, self loathing vivziepop fantis would stand there with an oversized mic with some vivziepop stickers on it to make hours long "Deep Dives" into The Problématique World of Yana Toboso?

... I think phrases like "they hate all of us" can and should be lightly applied to some queer fandumb spaces as well, actually...It's all fictional depictions of BDSM that give you Scene Ideas irl like if you're Nasty Enough, it wouldn't hurt anyone....lol.

MINORS DNI, OF COURSE!

HIS FUCKING face im crying.

[abybweisse]

Where did Sebatians got his lastname from? Did O!Ciel name him that too?

Where did "Michaelis" come from?

Good question.

Well, there are three things I can think of.

There was a Sebastien Michaelis, a French inquisitor and demonologist. Our earl might have given Sebastian that last name a bit later, as a sort of joke, when it became apparent that Sebastian might need a last name. Maybe it was chosen in the spur of the moment, during one of his assignments as watchdog.

S2 of the anime has some narration near the end, like on the last episode -- I think -- where there's a meaning for the name, but it's based on a similar sounding word in Japanese. To me, that has nothing to do with what Yana-san was thinking when she made the decision to use this as the demon's name. Our earl would not have used a Japanese word or concept to name him, so I don't consider this canon. At least he would have no reason to do so, so that's an anime-only explanation, provided by anime writers... not the original author.

There is a very real possibility that Yana-san got a lot of inspiration from the real Sebastian Michaelis who currently lives and works in London... as the Tea Master for Tetley. I've posted some stuff about him before and even posted some shitposts about him and our demon Sebastian. However, our earl wouldn't know anything about a Tetley's employee living now. So, I'd go back to #1 for how Sebastian gets the name in-story.

ETA: Here's a post answering a similar ask. There's also this.

Mythology and Folklore Moodboards || Demons: Sonneillon

A demon who oversees the sin of hate. It is through his manipulation of this negative emotion that he supposedly works to lead mortals astray. His adversary is Saint Stephen. Sonneillon is named in the Admirable History by Sebastien Michaelis. — The Dictionary of Demons: Names of the Damned, Michelle Belanger

WHB Lesser key: Gehenna

Did you wonder how much inspiration they drew from the descriptions of the different demons of the Ars Goetia to create their characters and what that could point towards in terms of personality and powers? I did. You can find each character with it's respective descriptions here, divided by their respective factions.

The main link is this helpful little list of the 72 with summarized descriptions, so it's not an exhaustive list, just an organized one.

Gehenna | Tartaros | Hades | Avisos | Abaddon | Paradise Lost | Niflheim

Sitri

Sitri (also spelled Bitru, Sytry) is a Great Prince of Hell, and reigns over sixty legions of demons. He causes men to love women and vice versa, and can make people bare themselves naked if desired. He is depicted with the face of a leopard and the wings of a griffin, but under the conjurer's request he changes into a very beautiful man.

This wiki article adds on that he's "dangerously charming", that he "reveals the most intimate secrets of women and gains power over them in doing so" and that he's "one of the darkest entities, and only the most experienced may summon Sitri to speak to him and inquire about the love of someone", and goes on to warn that "you should be careful when invoking the prince, for he likes concentration and is known not only to work with love and lust, but also the feelings of hatred" not sure about it's relevance but eh, interesting enough.

Leraye

Leraje (also Leraie, Leraikha, Leraye, Loray, Oray) is a mighty Great Marquis of Hell who has thirty legions of demons under his power. He causes great battles and disputes, and makes gangrene wounds caused by arrows. He is depicted as a gallant and handsome archer clad in green, carrying a bow and quiver

Paimon

Paimon (also Paimonia, Paymon) is one of the Kings of Hell, more obedient to Lucifer than other kings are, and has two hundred legions of demons under his rule. He has a great voice and roars as soon as he comes, speaking in this manner for a while until the conjurer compels him and then he answers clearly the questions he is asked. When a conjurer invokes this demon he must look towards the northwest, the direction of Paimon's house, and when Paimon appears he must be allowed to ask the conjurer what he wishes and be answered, in order to obtain the same from him.

Paimon teaches all arts, philosophies, and sciences, and secret things; he can reveal all mysteries of the Earth, wind, and water, what the mind is, and where it is, and everything the conjurer wants to know. He gives good familiars, dignities and confirms them, and binds men to the conjurer's will.

If Paimon is cited alone, buffering or sacrifice must be done, and he will accept it, though the precise nature of the gift is unclear; then two kings called Beball (Bebal or Labal) and Abalam (Abalim) will go to him together with other spirits, often twenty-five legions; but these other spirits do not always come unless the conjurer calls upon them.

Paimon is depicted as a man with an effeminate face, wearing a precious crown, and riding a dromedary. Before him often goes a host of demons with the shape of men, playing trumpets, cymbals, and any other sort of musical instrument

Boy had a lot of info there

Astaroth

Astaroth (also Ashtaroth, Astarot and Asteroth) is referred to in The Lesser Key of Solomon as a very powerful demon who commands 40 legions of demons. In art, in the Dictionnaire Infernal, Astaroth is depicted as a nude man with feathered wings, wearing a crown, holding a serpent in one hand, and riding a beast with dragon-like wings and a serpent-like tail. According to Sebastien Michaelis he is a demon of the First Hierarchy, who seduces by means of laziness, vanity, and rationalized philosophies. His adversary is St. Bartholomew, who can protect against him for he has resisted Astaroth's temptations. To others, he teaches mathematical sciences and handicrafts, can make men invisible and lead them to hidden treasures, and answers every question formulated to him. He was also said to give to mortal beings the power over serpents. His name is possibly taken from the goddess Asherah or Astarte.

Zagan

Zagan (also Zagam) is a Great King and President of Hell, commanding over thirty-three legions of demons. He makes men witty; he can also turn wine into water, water into wine, and blood into wine (according to Pseudomonarchia Daemonum blood into oil, oil into blood, and a fool into a wise man). Other of his powers is that of turning metals into coins that are made with that metal (i.e., gold into a gold coin, copper into a copper coin, etc.). Zagan is depicted as a griffin-winged bull that turns into a man after a while.

Belial

Belial (also Belhor, Baalial, Beliar, Beliall, Beliel) is listed as the sixty-eighth spirit of The Lesser Key of Solomon. He is a King of Hell with 80 legions of demons and 50 legions of spirits under his command. He was created as the first, after Lucifer. He has the power to distribute senatorships and gives excellent familiars. He must be presented with offerings, sacrifices, and gifts, or else he will not give true answers to demands.

The Spanish wiki provides that he's connected to true independence, self sufficiency, pride, and personal growth. Jhon Milton's Paradise Lost says: that he was worshipped in Sodom but had not effigies built in his honor and that hell hasn't since received someone as dissolute/corrupted, drunk or in love of vice for the sake of vice itself. But that his interior is beautiful, and he is filled with grace and dignity.

It also provides that his name might come from "he of corrupted gains". He's also referred to as: the disobedient, the rebel, lord of arrogance, lord of pride and the son of hell, and impious men are referred to as the children of Belial. Belial is also used as a synonym of Satan.

The English wiki, however, is a mess and I just couldn't understand a word, but Paradise Lost is mentioned.

[corvusreginae]

Sonnelion is a non-Goetic demon, first discovered by Sebastien Michaelis in "Histoire admirable de la Possession et conversion d'une penitente" of 1613, appearing as the last demon in the first hierarchy, classifying it as a demon of hatred. So will Dukantè in 1963, even channeling a seal of it. It is by no means a demon suitable for neophytes, certainly difficult for professional practitioners. Sonnelion, strangely enough, presents a lot of information, between stories of practitioners and scholars, we know everything except its origin unfortunately. She is a demon who embodies the female archetype to perfection; she is called the Princess of Discord, the one who brings hatred against enemies, creates conflict and bestows vengeance, providing the practitioner with the courage to carry out a revenge against those who have hurt him or her. She divides lovers, brings arguments, divisions in general, and ruptures of any relationship, be it work or social, feuds, disagreements, betrayals, disloyalty, infidelity, brutality, dishonor. Knows the macabre art of mental and physical torture, bringing chaos, violence. Skilled in the necromantic art, gives concentration and balance so that purposes are achieved. She unleashes the wrath of the practitioner and his energy, dare I say it, is very similar to that of Sargatanas: those who approach both experience extremely strong, pressing, almost breathtaking sensations. It is no coincidence that this demon is also associated with extreme emotions. Weaver of the black loom, this is one of the most famous ways in which practitioners identify her: like the Fates, Sonnelion also holds the victims' futures in her hands. Sonnelion brings shame, dishonor, brutality, and misfortune to the practitioner's victims. She is said to appear as a white-skinned woman with white curled horns and bat wings, with waist-length hair also white, but her eyes are piercing blood-red. Sometimes completely naked, snake-tongued, wild-looking, sometimes bluish-skinned, her fingernails and toenails are clawed, she possesses sharp canines and sometimes large leathery wings, i.e., leather-like, purple in color and with a cold, unfeeling attitude. I would add that white hair indicates wisdom and consequently does not trigger impulsive actions, but reasoned, thought out, organized. Her manner is ironic, almost mocking; he spares no one, does not overtake in the face of a small mistake, and every slightest mistake he makes him pay dearly. Sonnelion embodies the violent energies of Mars but I believe that Pluto can also be associated with her. Her element is said to be Fire, consequently her cardinal point corresponds to the South. Unlike others, she is associated by Connolly with the Southwest, the fiery part of the water, and I honestly think it is more reasonable to consider it that way: by bringing discord and hatred, one changes the course of events to the negative. It is said that it prefers to bring discord over everything mentioned above and that its day is Saturday, which also leads me to think that it may embody the energies of Saturn as well as Mars and Pluto. Again S. Connolly associates her with the color red, but I think black and purple are perfect for her. She also associates it with the warm season, specifically the summer solstice (and not only her). Her favorite incense may be cinnamon, frankincense. Like all demons, she likes blood as offerings, as well as full-bodied red wine with a strong, decisive flavor. As @reginademonae would say, I would call her totally dark, a black demon. Not excluding that it may have roots in Greek mythology, among the legends of the Morie (especially Lachesi or Atropo). But nothing is certain so I won't go out on a limb.

Thoughts on Sebastian Michaelis? (Demon Butler from black butler) He is so very very fine!

Confession:

My first time ever watching anime was in quarantine, I was watching black butler because I was in an amino fanserver (If you dont know what Amino is, think discord but crawling with predators in plain sight.) My second was MHA

What were your first animes??

XX

-🎃

I unfortunately haven't watched Black Butler 🙁 but I do think Sebastien is hot!

I've never heard of Amino but that sounds... Mildly terrifying. So you'd never watched anime before quarantine?

My first animes haha. It was way back in the 90's so Sailor Moon was my starter anime, then I caught onto Bleach thanks to Adult Swim.

Inbox is open for secrets /confessions /rants /opinions!

‘ does your name hold any special meaning to you? ’ - Sebastian

* interview the muse

"You do realize I am a demon yes? The name Sebastian is not my given name, rather it is a name I picked for this world. Upon learning about the human world, there was indeed a man named Father Sebastien Michaelis, who wrote a classification of demons in Hell. So I suppose that's significant enough."

[infinitelycomplexpuzzles]

// Wikipedia isn't a great source but I particularly like this passage:

Sebastien Michaelis associated Beelzebub with the deadly sin of pride. However, according to Peter Binsfeld, Beelzebub was the demon of gluttony, one of the other seven deadly sins, whereas Francis Barrett asserted that Beelzebub was the prince of idolatry.

All I can imagine now is that Beelzebub is the prince of fabulousness and that he swings between being like 'worship me, bitches' and total self destructive behavior where he looks like a homeless vagrant

[yanderecat]

Hey, could I please request for a yandere Sebastian, Alois, Claude, Grell and Ciel headcanons on how they'd react to the reader continuously saying how much she admires a writer and really likes their works and thinks they're really cool? Will they get jealous though?

I will try my best :

Ciel

He will always find you reading books of that author but he won't pay any mind to it because you like reading

But then you will start inviting him to read with you, and he notices how much the author name repeats and how much you start babbling about the artist creativity and amazing writing

he won't be mad at first but when he sees you admiring him a little to much, you say how much you love them, that is when he draws the Line, he will take all your books and will never let you lay any eyes to any book again

Sébastien

He will notice how much you read from that author very early probably from the first time he stalks you about how your room is filled with that author books

When he gets you, he will notice how you start talking about them none stop, he likes hearing your voice, but he doesn't get a pleasant feeling when the admiration is not on him

I don't think Sébastien will force you to stop reading the author books due to him knowing your admiration wasn't romantic,and isn't necessarily a threat to him and also he can use this to get closer to you

ALIOS

He hates it in the start because you pay all you attention in the books of that author creation all the time he should be the only one who get your attention

but when you show you admiration to the author that is too much he will burn all the books in the estate and bring that author and maybe burn him too

he doesn't like sharing anything from you if that thing is attention admiration or love that is an instant no

Claude

I think he hates it as well, mostly because of how annoying you get when you start talking about that author

he will get kind of jealous when you talk about the author for hours but he won't show he will hide your books and mbye kill the author as well

Claude is a little sadistic when cry to about how your favorite writer was dead he will get the best pleasure with comforting you

Grell

They are probably the only person from the group that will show their annoyance or how your giving someone else more attention

if you still don't stop it with how much you love the author they will literally throw every book out of the window and bring you the author head as a statement

they will demand attention you are their darling and only theirs

Thanks for reading
