do you ever think about how weird it is that the moral of Frankenstein is kind of less just “graverobbing is weird and creepy” and more “take some fucking responsibility if you’re going to do so”

“if you’re going to create a large corpse son, you better be ready to love him”

Anonymous asked:

When we're back to present, do you think our!Ciel will order Sebastian to kill real!Ciel after his imminent mental breakdown?

Hi Anon! Okay so, seeing how Ciel totally blames himself for what happened to his brother…

I don’t think he will be able to face him at first, so I doubt he’ll be able to order Seb to take care of his twin either.

In fact, I hope that Seb will be absolutely irrelevant to how this confrontation will turn out for our!Ciel, because we know he’s not particularly good at being sensitive and helpful whenever our!Ciel faces his trauma (ch95 anyone? -_-).

It’s as I wrote here, I think this arc is supposed to help our!Ciel with confronting most of his issues surrounding his trauma and what happened with his brother, so I don’t see how Seb is supposed to be the means to an end here (unlike all the previous arcs before), not when he’s the one who ate the twin’s soul in the first place. 

No, in my opinion, if the twin is to die before this arc ends, then I think it’d make a lot of sense for him to be stopped by anyone but Seb. 

Obviously, right now the most symbolic ending for the twin would be to be stopped by our!Ciel himself, since that’d also imply that our!Ciel found enough strength within himself to face his brother despite how much he was blaming himself for his death, and a catalyst to such an ending could be Lizzie herself.

I mean, if the twin hurts/allows someone to hurt Lizzie (which I think is likely to happen) then…

…in my opinion it could be shocking and despairing enough that our!Ciel would realize he has to stop his brother. 

Other candidates for the same job would be Soma (since the twin attacked him and Agni), Lizzie herself (since she realized a while ago in ch113 that she “couldn’t save the twin”), Ed possibly (if he’s angry enough should Lizzie be hurt) or Tanaka (since surely he’d notice that the twin hardly is the boy he used to be). 

So nope, Seb killing the twin again would just… not help our!Ciel with the fact he’s constantly blaming himself for what happened to his brother. Seb can go face the other star Lords (like Polaris, who’s real!Ciel’s butler and who apparently was strong enough to kill Agni), or the mastermind behind the arc (UT? someone else?), but the twin isn’t going to be his call in my opinion. 

I hope it answers your question, have a nice day Anon!

Bringing this back because I keep mentioning this but I never expand, so when I say “it’s likely (in my opinion) that Lizzie might get hurt”, that’s what I mean:

I’m pretty sure we discussed it before, but these scenes really make me think that, instead of anemia because she possibly gave some of her blood, Lizzie is going to get hurt (shot?) at a later point in the arc and will lose a lot of blood as a result, enough so that Sieglinde will need to use Wolfram’s for transfusing her. 

Of course it’s just a theory, but as I explained above, I think this might happen precisely because the twin isn’t the boy he used to be and only seems to care about staying with our!Ciel, so when things escalate, depending on what Lizzie will do she might end up getting the same treatment as Soma and Agni. ://

Many already noticed:

= there is a good chance now that Lizzie may be hurt badly enough (get shot?) that Sieglinde will need to save her by transfusing her with Wolfram’s blood. :///

Just a psa, I have a lot of asks in my inbox.  If you sent one in, don’t worry I’m not neglecting you!  I just didn’t have time to get to them today, and some of them deserve a fairly lengthy response.  But I’ll start to mow throw them tomorrow.

Also thank you guys!!! Wow, I’ve gained quite a few followers over the past couple months.  You’re awesome and I appreciate every single one of you!

@justacynicalromantic so listen: either you change your tone, or you get blocked. 

No one is forcing you to read what I post and no one is forcing you to agree either, so you are behaving extremely rudely by acting as if I’m the one running my mouth (on my own blog on top of that), when I read dozens of comments from you on mutuals’ posts these last two days and I believe many readers were kind enough to try and explain why your arguments are unrelated to the context of the cliffhanger. 

This is my last warning as far as you’re concerned. If my opinion is so uninteresting to you, you may as well unfollow me. 

lol, Soma and Lizzy are in similar situations. They’re both:

  • a. People who’ve only shown Ciel affection and support.
  • b. Only have one side of the story in both circumstances.
  • c. Have lost someone for reasons that are directly connected to Ciel (Agni obviously, and for Lizzy...it’s not as much real Ciel as it is the fact that the boy she fell in love with lied about his identity and didn’t disclose his contract with a demon to her.  He set himself up as a false hope that she was never going to attain.)
  • d. Both understandably feel like their trust has been betrayed.

Soma may even be plotting a much harsher revenge for Ciel than just calling him a liar.  The last time we saw him, he was pretty much enraged.  That’s why I can’t get behind the dislike around Lizzy, when she hasn’t done anything unreasonable for how things have played out.
