How we doing Kuro folks

[mikuyuuss]

I wonder if Doll and the Circus fam are aware that the Funtom Candies are made by the same boy that their father wants them to abduct… I mean they should know right? I don’t think it’s a secret that the Funtom Company belongs to Phantomhive.

I also think about how Doll, Joker and even Snake must have felt, after knowing that it was “Smile” all along

Imagine Doll looking back at how her roommate was the ceo of funtom corporation this whole time, and now she hates his ass.

Lord Canopus, revealed

So, we have received confirmation in ch. 204 that Doll is Lord Canopus, as many in the fandom have theorized. I personally believed this too, not because Vega was most likely Layla/Al (and canopus was the only left), but because her personality fits with the japanese chart about blood type personalities. By now we know these canopus/Types B: Lizzie, Doll, Redmond, Lau, Bard, Wolfram, and all the corgi class students like Mabel and Ginny.

"Type B blood people are creative, cheerful, independent, laid-back, and adventurous. They are quick thinkers and spontaneous, as well as passionate and strong-willed. They do things at their own pace, and mostly end up going their own way because they are not good at follow orders, so they are known too as the "rule-breakers". They are honest and caring at heart, and make friends easily because they are loyal and non-pretentious. On the other hand, their negative traits include being “wild,” selfish, unforgiving, irresponsible and unpredictable. When type B blood people focus on something, they put their all into it, and they are unlikely to let go, even if the goal seems unachievable or impractical."

There are interesting things in the symbolism of canopus too:

Canopus was the helmsman of the Argo Navis, the ship of Jason and the Argonauts, who served King Menelaus. Canopus is described as a handsome young man who was loved by a egyptian prophetess, but never reciprocated her feelings. While visiting the Egyptian coast, Canopus was bitten by a serpent and died, and Menelaus then built a monument to his memory on the shore where this happened, around which the town of Canopus later grew up. In this town was worshipped the egiptian god Osiris, under a peculiar form: that of a vase with a human head. Osiris is a god who is in among other things, the Lord of the afterlife, the dead, resurrection and life in ancient Egyptian religion).

Osiris is the name of the group/company Undertaker was supposedly working with on his bizarre doll/resurrection project during the Campania arc. It is curious too the way Canopus died (it will implicate Doll's fate in the future?... although for now I see it unlikely).

About Doll's role in the plot, I don't think she will be killed (in this arc), because I think our Ciel will see her again, it would be a poor choice on Yana's part to reintroduce Doll just to kill her off so quickly, what would be the point then? And we still don't know why Undertaker revived her either. The "Stars" require a lot of work and huge amount of resources to function properly, and her blood type is rare (not as rare as Sirius but still rare), so why Undertaker gave her such preferential treatment is a mystery. I don't think he has revived her just to mortify OCiel, there must be another reason.

And some things start to make sense now, just at this part. I don't think the relationship between RCiel and Doll is good at all, since RCiel wouldn't tolerate someone who hold such a big grudge against his brother, and Doll wouldn't like the idea of dealing with the brother of the one who killed her and her family. So it makes sense not to mention Canopus as a candidate for his butler.

Besides, the butler of RCiel would need to be a fighter, and unlike Lizzie, strength in combat doesn't seem to be Doll's strong point, who also seems to be in a delicate state. Polaris fought AGNI and won, Layla(Al) almost beat Ronald if it wasn't for William's intervention, but Doll just walk and collapse? Like with RCiel, that could be because of a low blood supply.

What will happen now?

Regarding what will happen next, I was somehow expecting a confrontation between Doll and Finnian, but in her current state that seems impossible, since she probably can barely move, so the whole conflict will happen between Finny and Snake.

Doll is an important part of Snake's character. She is the first person who reached out for him, and in his memories she is the most prominent figure of his "circus family". The worst thing is that Snake has been serving loyally to the one who ordered her death, and him forgiving OCiel after finding out seems unlikely. There are inocent children involved too, so the situation is really complicated. It will all depends on what are Snake's priorities and loyalty, but I wonder if he will bear with the idea of killing Doll, I highly doubt it (I hope he and Finny save the kids though).

On the other hand, I expect Finnian not to die and return to OCiel and Sebastian, but he could learn from Doll the truth about Sebastian's nature. At first obviously not believing her words, but the seed of doubt would be planted, as he could remember Sebastian's strange behavior in the Emerald Witch arc. Finnian could confirm this later, causing a huge conflict between the servants and Sebastian, who would want to protect their master from him, and complicating things for our Ciel.

In addition, we must consider that Meyrin and Bard have already achieved 2 victories for OCiel, will this be the occasion where RCiel will win a game?

finally finished this sketch for my redraw bruh (wip!)

[blondeaxolotl]

Do Sebastian and O!Ciel still know each other in your au? Do they have a relationship at all or is it similar to Grelle and O!Ciel's dislike for each other in canon? Lovin' your au so far!!

Sebastian and Ciel HAVE met and interacted with eachother in this au! Though all interactions they had so far is when Sebastian is disguised as Lau's butler, (Think of when canon Sebastian disguised himself as Jeremy Rathbone in the book of murder, except he is still being called by "Sebastian" here). So they semi-know eachother, Ciel only knows "lau's butler Sebastian" though.

I like to believe their first interaction went a lil something like this, heres a crappy mini comic I rushed:

Ciel meant no harm (maybe a lil) he just found it weird that Lau's new butler had the same name as his dog. Sebastian took full offense

[so-bitya]

also I feel like it was a common preconception back in the day that ciel's naturally harsh and has to hold himself back when dealing with lizzy, so he couldn't be his true self around her yada yada but I really think it's the opposite?? ciel's so soft-hearted actually (the whole curry arc wouldnt have happened if he wasnt such a pushover for soma). he doesn't want to be harsh with her, or anyone he likes really, such as the servants or his friends, but usually its his circumstances that make him so sharp all the time, like being endangered or all his unresolved trauma. he's not harsh when he has peace of mind!

It tickles me how much Sebastian was jealous of Abberline like,,,after Ciel displayed fondness for him it was pretty much fuckin' On Sight for that man, even after he died.

Especially when you compare how Sebastian treated Abberline to how he treated Arthur Doyle; He was indulgent with Arthur, speaking with him openly about Ciel and teasing him in front of him. Plus there's the whole allowing-Arthur-to-live-while-letting-Abberline-die-on-purpose Thing™.

...So what I've taken from that is that Sebastian would be willing to threesome with this guy—

—but not with this one

[twitter-bores-me-to-death]

The third episode was amazing! I can't help but marvel at the quality animation we've been blessed with, each episode... I will never take it for granted.

I love how the direction is fully embacing the comedy in Kuro. They do not shy away from making our main cast look ridiculous, which is what I thought was most lacking in previous adaptations.

I also love how they don't take advantage of some rather fanservice-y scenes in the manga. They are faithful to the source material and very evidently care about how our main duo is characterized, for which I am endlessly thankful.

Ciel was cute! Maaya Sakamoto shines so much, this season, and you can feel how much ease she has gained voicing him. I *loved* the reveal. I imagined it a little more dramatic in my head, looking at panels tho! Maurice voiced by Horieru is a blessing, an archangel, even, as Horie so affectionately refers to him. The poor boy messed with the wrong person. He fucked around and found out. His facial expressions were *chef's kiss*.

Soma finding parallels between Ciel and Maurice was very funny and oddly perceptive of him lmao. Him and Seb have really been adamant on letting Ciel *know* that he's no better than his opponent, which Ciel never really denies. He's very self aware and that becomes evident at the very end of this arc, during his last exchange with Edward. He knows that his morals are skewed, that his methods are underhanded, that all his relationships are artificial so he doesn't judge those who do not go by the rules. To him, it's all just a matter of who does it better.

All in all, great ep. Can't wait for the cricket tournament!

[flintsilvers]

i just got to the flashback that shows what happened to ciel after the fire and while im sure it will be further explained and elaborated on, it still already explains SO MUCH about the nature of ciel's relationship with sebastian. the way ciel seems to be quite comfortable with the level of intimacy sebastian allows himself to have with him bc he knows sebastian has no choice but obey him, so he can feel like he's in control, but still gets startled if it happens when he's unconcious/not expecting it

^ like here ciel was having a nightmare about his trauma and sebastian woke him up, or like he always startles when sebastian grabs him (sometimes forcefully) even if its to protect him from incoming attacks.

[ceoandslutler]

they so evil <3

[deevotee]

ive been trying to think about it but im not all the way through the manga yet, so have any of the other servants ever said ciels 'name'? or is it literally only finny who has ever used it?
