keep thinking about this page, particularly in conjunction with this post discussing ciel's use of his three wishes when originally creating the guidelines for their contract. to quote:

I love that Ciel gets three wishes from Sebastian and he used them all to make Sebastian into someone he can trust: never lie to him, always follow his orders, protect him and never betray him. He’s a traumatized child with self esteem issues and trust issues, so perhaps it’s only to be expected—but I think that if it had been anyone else; for example if r!Ciel was the one who survived, he might not have necessarily asked for something like these.

the question of Trust when it comes to o!ciel, and specifically who he feels that he can trust following the incredible violation of his faith that occurs throughout his time in the cult, is interesting enough as is-- but especially so when it comes to the topic of his relationship with sebastian specifically.

to state this more directly: i don't think these two points at all contradict one another. ciel isn't lying here when he says that sebastian is the one he can trust the least-- that is exactly why he felt the need to use his wishes to make sebastian any degree of trustworthy in the first place.

you could almost say that what ciel actually trusts has hardly anything to do with sebastian himself, but instead o!ciel's own ability to control him. that's essentially the gamble he's staking his life on-- that sebastian will respect the guidelines of their contract just long enough for o!ciel to enact his revenge the way that he wants to.

the fact that he takes the Earl Ciel Phantomhive name in the process of all this can't be ignored either. ultimately, the one thing that o!ciel can still put his faith in is that of Ciel-- the one person who was always on his side, always supporting him and pulling him along, and never betrayed him.

initially, anyway. clearly, by now, the title has grown to encompass more than the body or memories of the individual it was originally tied to-- the significance is in the Title, the Idea, the spirit and memory and grief entrusted within it. the soul, even? though perhaps that's pushing it a little too much. r!ciel is never coming back, and no recreation, no matter how accurate, could ever truly be him. death is final, and absolute-- it must be.

point is, the trust issues run deep, for obvious reasons. still, i think o!ciel definitely does trust sebastian to some degree-- probably more than he cares to, considering how reliant he is on him and how they've been mutually twisting into something more and more codependent as the years go on, but still. he made this contract at his lowest point, when his trust and faith in Anything was at an all time low-- but o!ciel isn't locked in a cage anymore. which will it be, to win out in the end? conscious, logical aversion to the indescribably powerful being you've sold yourself to? or the incredible force of habit, sinking you back into the comfortable routine of master and servant, give and take?

frankly, in the case of o!ciel this is a pretty fucking obvious answer to me-- he has never once demonstrated himself to give up so easily, and especially not when he has already commit himself so far, to a goal so clear and distinct. on the other side, in the case of sebastian, though... i suppose we'll just have to see how much that demonic hunger tempers whatever sympathy he can scrounge up for the human that entertains him the most.

no one encourage this path of brainrot because i will end up writing 3000 words of john and his metaphorical wagging tail when he sees his gale, john and his obsession with the smell of gale's aftershave, rubbing his face on gale's pillow, john and the way he follows gale wherever he goes as though there's an invisible leash between the two of them, john and the way he almost barks out his laughs, john and the way his teeth can't help but sink into gale's neck, collarbone, shoulder, hip, thigh, john and the way he pretends it doesn't do things to him when gale nonchalantly praises him, pretends gale can't see right through him, john and the way he spills over gale's hand when gale calls him a good boy on a whim, john and the way he seeks it out every time gale's on top of him after that, john and something something collar something dog tags something pretty pup something something uhhh rutting up against gale's thigWHAT who said all that that's crazyyyy dude

my two cents on the everlux drama

am I a fan? no, but keep in mind I haven’t been a huge fan of any ancient breed. I have a number of issues with their design but it doesn’t involve the concept of being a grub kinda dragon or how fat they are. mostly it’s just that all their different components feel a bit jarring when all put together so I find them kinda cluttered.

but on the other hand, I’m used to being disappointed in ancients for entirely different reasons. I’d SO much rather be disappointed that they went a little too cluttered for my tastes than getting the same “this ancient could pass for a modern easily” that we’ve gotten so many times already

so good on staff for trying something new, I hope we get more attempts like this. maybe the first one didn’t hit for me but there’s always more chances. there is also a lot of valid feedback that I really hope the artist(s? might just be Undel) receive, but this wasn’t just an everlux issue (don’t get me started about fathom M and aether M and undertide M and)

and I hope the next breed is even fatter

memories that linger | love and deepspace

there's always been something pushing against you. and not in the metaphorical, woe is you sort of way, but in the way that... well, you can't quite put your finger on it. there's nothing metaphorical about it, you think, but anyone else would swear it's just your luck. you believe that, too, when you aren't so displeased with the way things are going. there is something that tries to force your hand, change the choices you want to make.

you realize that sounds crazy. that's why you keep it to yourself.

you've stopped resisting the push so much these days. you feel it like a hand upon your back, urging you forward and into the hunter association's ranks despite your dream of publishing your manga. it feels simultaneously wonderfully right and terribly wrong, though the development of certain events quickly steals your attention away from that invisible hand. you want answers. you need them, and you'll march in whichever direction that leads you to them.

additional details

in this verse, i'm writing chiyo as the mc and toying with the concept of past lives like the game does, though i may also sprinkle in a little itty bitty bit of fourth wall stuff -- like chiyo having the thought, " this is like a game, and someone else is making my choices. " as a treat <3

but the focus will be more on fate bc chiyo really hates it as a concept, and that's so much fun to write in this setting :' )

when interacting with other mc's, we can decide if we'd like our characters to just so happen to be in the same boat, having grown up with grandma and caleb, etc. if not, i have no problem writing chiyo in her main verse! there's plenty to work with either way and i'm happy to adapt!

bc chiyo's parents and grandmother play such important roles in her development, they're alive and well until wanderers kill them just before chiyo's freshman year of high school. this event leads to josephine taking her in. she was a friend of the family and as good as a second grandmother to chiyo.

i'll likely think to add more when i'm not sleep-deprived and as i progress in the story, but if you have any questions, just let me know <3
