Since there have been so many contributions to the list of BOAs flaws,*deep breath* it was so disappointing that they didn't include Sebastians line about forgetting to spare one of the assassins in the manor. It just portrays his indifference to humanity and just natural cruelness so well- and it would take like 30 extra seconds of screen time!

【Referred post】

Dear Anon, yes, I ranked the trimming of Sebas’ cinematic record as the personal number one sin in the original post, but indeed, that specific part was arguably the worst choice to omit.

Cutting that scene does more than taking away the portrayal of Sebas’ indifference and cruelty. This moment is literally less than one page, but it tells us quite a lot about Sebas’ past.

Sebastian’s Past Contracts

We know that this ⇈ happened before Sebas was trained, so everything we saw in the flashbacks was what was Sebastian’s ‘normal’ before this contract; being a mass destruction weapon.

If we think about it, it makes perfect sense, as most if not all his masters of the past must have summoned him as a mass destruction weapon. What do people usually want to buy with their soul? Regardless of the details of the contract, the objective probably mostly boiled down to grandiose power.

Sure, some might contract a demon for him to generate limitless wealth, but is that really worth selling one’s soul for? In the end, most past masters probably desired some kind of destruction for the sake of gaining/retaining power and wealth. Destroying enemies to stabilise power, annihilating other countries for political dominion… etc.

Judging from Sebas’ reaction in chapter 63 ⇈, he was reminded of something that had genuinely slipped his mind. This was our first indication that he simply acted out of habit. This is a perfect continuation of what we see in chapter 138 ⇊, where Sebas was already marching off into massacre even before all three contract terms were sealed.

This was not just his impatient nature talking; this was him going on auto-pilot-mode for his ‘job’. Everyone who has done something for an extended period of time must be very aware of this auto-pilot kicking in.

Denied Opportunities

Most humans distrust demons and would therefore keep them at a distance, physical and emotional. There is simply no need to keep demons close; why earn a demon’s trust or get them to like you, if an order to send them off to their mission is all that is necessary?

These two panels below ⇊ are likewise further evidence of Sebas being but a weapon to his past masters.

Sebas already had superb control of the finest motor skills from the beginning, as evidenced by him effortlessly extracting the ring from R!Ciel’s body. Therefore we can assume that he did have the skills to bathe a human properly, just not the knowledge to apply to the skills.

Sebas only knew how to destroy things, and there is no upper limit to power that had to be applied. But ‘not’ destroying things is quite different. If no past human ever let Sebas near enough to teach him about how to ‘not’ destroy a human body, how would he possibly have guessed? And indeed, he had no clue!

Current Contract and Bond

The current contract with O!Ciel is likely the first one wherein Sebas is treated as a being with a mind and feelings of his own. It could very well be that the boy is the first human who consciously let the demon close, and is actually interested in Sebas as a ‘person’.

I don’t think Sebas really cares that for most of his contracts, ‘cattle’ have “““dehumanised””” (for lack of better word) him. But it might nevertheless be quite refreshing and nice to finally have a master who actually communicates with him.

It is not for nothing that Sebas is so exceptionally thrilled about O!Ciel’s soul. The boy’s soul was probably very delicious because of his character to begin with. But because O!Ciel has opened up to Sebas (more than his past masters ever did, anyway), Sebas also has more opportunity to really manipulate the boy’s soul, customising it to his own taste.

As I discussed in the post ‘That Demon, Skin Crawling’, Sebas was excited to the point of almost crying. He was probably both laughing and crying at this exhilaration, as well as the irony of his prey having ‘opened up’ to his predator. How rare is that?

Sebas is still morally pitch and pitch black, but I can’t help but feel a bit of melancholy for him that he was nothing but a mindless tool in most of his jobs. I also feel a weird sense of happiness that he is finally treated as a sentient “person”, and has therefore more chance at getting his autonomy respected.

Regardless of how I feel for Sebas, I definitely think Yana managed to show us a great deal about who Sebas used to be with merely a few panels. I respect her for that!

Different types of keysmash

Hnfjfbffgnfbnf - “eeeehhhhh I’m too lazy rn” OR “what is this an why is this”

HDGHJFGGLJLKKKHD - the keysmash equivalent of a screech as a reaction to a really bad pun OR “OH HOLY HELL”

gdhdhgdffv - *silently choking because of a reaction that is equal parts amusement, frustration and a third one that is impossible to name* OR “goddammit”

Fkfdfdfkfldfkg - I just smashed this because I want to express this emotion I can’t name, OR *hesitant laziness* or the equivalent of an amused/pissed off reaction to a pun

Asdfghjkl - on mobile: I took the time to type this keysmash in a proper order, this is a very serious keysmash and you need to appreciate it. On computer: I’m too afraid to keysmash properly and let my soul loosen itself from my body for the rest of my life thus making me ironic and fatalistic to the fullest extent because I want to maintain a somewhat proper image of myself OR ironic and kinda bored

Asldjfllhlskfk - it started out proper and then gave up, kind of like my life

Mrnfnfngkdnxkkgs - *long groan*

Hkkfjfkglf - it’s a reaction but kind of hard to put in words. Often frustrated or slightly annoyed.

Things People Should Know About Me

-If I take a step back from you, DO NOT STEP EVEN CLOSER TO ME. It means that I am uncomfortable because you are standing too close to me, and I need space.This goes for if I’m standing with my legs spread out a little too.

-After I run and if you can see that I’m clearly out of breath, DO NOT TALK TO ME. I am clearly out of breath, and won’t be able to talk for a good minute.

-Don’t point out things that I can’t fix in less than five minutes. The things that I can’t fix in five minutes are usually my insecurities.

-If I’m quiet, then that means you either offended me in some kind of way, or I’m just lost in my imagination.(Think about what you said first. Even if I laugh it off, that doesn’t mean that I’m not hurt inside.)If I tell you I’m daydreaming, that doesn’t mean that you can keep talking about the things that are not important to me. (Fashion, weather, small talk stuff.)

-I need time away from people. Talking to strangers and sometimes even friends are exhausting. Unless you can keep me laughing until I choke on food or water, then I need time by myself. (My friends from before I moved did this, and those days were literally the best.)

-Don’t pressure me to do things that I can’t do. If I tell you I can’t speak in front of class, then that means that I’m either too quiet or it means that I am having a nervous breakdown inside my head or it means, that I get almost paralyzed and will stumble on my words. The teacher would tell me to speak louder, resulting in even more embarrassment. 

-Embarrassing me is one of the worst things you can do. Don’t put me on a spot where everyone will laugh at me. Not only will you lose a friend, but I will continue to remember that day and your face would be associated with it. I may laugh it off but inside, I’m dying.

-No awkward silences. You will have to be the one to talk first. I won’t talk unless necessary or if you hit one of the things I care about. Talk about your passion, your dreams, fears, hopes, why you like that person and I will talk right back if I feel okay.  

-Don’t keep bringing up things that I think embarrass me. I just want to forget those things, and I don’t need you to remind me how funny that thing was to you, and how embarrassing it was for me.

-I take failure personally. 1. It usually results in me getting yelled at by my mom. 2.It’s a punch in the gut for me. Don’t say, “It’s just ONE quiz, it’s not going to kill you.” Like, aha, that is totally not helping...at all.

-My great grandma yelled at me constantly for the past four years. Maybe even longer than that. She always told me I was doing things wrong even if I did them right, she would point out the flaws. Years of this and I developed something close to anxiety. I can’t make decisions, and I’m constantly thinking about others before myself. So please, if I say that I’m fine with anything that you choose, don’t make me choose. It means I am genuinely fine with which option you pick. If I do choose, then that means I really care about you and don’t want you to get hurt. But ALWAYS ask me what I think first.

-If I’m opening up to you, you’d better listen. The deepest parts of me that I open up to you means that I deem you a worthy and a good friend. That means I’m close to you, and this is how I show you that I’m grateful that you stepped into my life, that you’re a best friend to me, that you mean so much to me, I would be truly devastated to lose you if you died one day. 

-But if you flinch even once while I’m showing those parts of me to you,I will snap close, stop talking, and it will be a long time before I open up to you again. Even then, it will be tainted. Keep in mind, when I say long, I mean, as in years. My trust will be a bit dented too.

-Ask for consent first before you touch me. Don’t touch my hair, my hand, legs. If it’s by accident, no big deal. Also, (and this is for later in life) don’t kiss me by surprise. I do not think it’s cute, and again, my trust in you will be dented. Ask for my “Yes.” It’s not a turn off for me. If anything, if I really love you, it’s a major turn on, and fireworks will be exploding in my chest from excitement. (because, hey, it’s my first kiss!) Again, if I say yes, that you can touch my hair, hand, legs, that means you’re a good friend or I trust you a lot.

-Don’t call me names. It just really does hurt, and makes me feel shitty inside. If I call you a name back, it’s a defense mechanism. I cannot burn or roast people, and I feel powerless. If you call me a name, whether you mean it or not, then I will slide a bit farther away from you.

-Don’t tell me who and what I should deem worthy of my time, because I’m the only person who can decide and even if I put you in my book, that doesn’t mean I deem you worthy of all of my time yet. Just some.

-Also, don’t ask me to ask a question for you. As I said before, I cannot do that, and unless you’re dying, or injured, it’s going to be extremely hard for me to talk to a stranger.

Please keep these things in mind when you see me around.
