amazing comm by @mirrorshards for my latest multichapter creek fic in a jar! it is a prison/trauma fic so please heed the tags/notes 💖
Manga spoilers.
Sebastian may be relatively tall (although not even in the top half of butlers in kuro when it comes to height), but he is not physically intimidating. Both Mey-Rin and Baldroy initially describe him as a 優男, basically a tall, slender man who looks gentle and delicate.
This is advantageous as a butler, who should fade into the background when serving. However, as a demon and an instrument of the Queen's Watchdog, Sebastian utilizes body language to assert dominance and control.
We can see this in his aggressive eye contact, physical touching, and invasion of personal space.
He's communicating that he's in control of the situation,
ensuring he gets what he wants with minimal fuss.
The only person I remember being uncowed is William.
Rarely, we see others use the same tactics on Sebastian himself. Sometimes successfully unsettling him:
Sometimes not:
Unsurprisingly, Sebastian's body language with Ciel contains enormous variation. In the beginning he has no respect for Ciel and communicates that, although he's temporarily in his service, Sebastian is the one in control.
Even after he settles into his role as a butler, Sebastian frequently shirks etiquette with his master.
Sometimes he uses authoritative body language to correct Ciel's childish or indecorous behavior.
At other times, the situation is so dire that Sebastian decides to immediately take charge, signaling this to Ciel by suddenly dropping any pretense of deference.
(Some of this is also clearly fanservice, but this post is attempting a Watsonian rather than Doylist explanation.)
Outside of these situations, and especially in front of others, Sebastian's body language toward Ciel is perfectly deferential (although sometimes at odds with his antagonistic or teasing words)
When acting as a butler, he refuses to sit in his master's presence, standing when Ciel enters a room and giving him the most authoritative chair.
He often waits for Ciel's signal before acting.
And when Ciel displays the strength that called to him across dimensions, Sebastian even humbles himself and bows to him on bended knee.
Hi hi! not sure if anyone asked already but what programs and brushes do you use for your art? O.o
Heyho, I use Paint tool sai! I use a marker for sketching:
And i use pen for lineart:
And airbrush for coloring/painting:
I’ve also been trying out new stuff as well like a brush that looks like a pencil. I often use Photoshop for more advanced edits, effect,s etc. ^^
this is old >->
You've mentioned that Sebastian a a very powerful demon and that Charlotte is the first of her kind. This makes me wonder whar exactly is Sebastian's position in Hell and what are its denizens reaction to his husband and child? Do they cause trouble? Do they keep away out of fear? Love your AU to pieces!
Hiiii Anon! Thank you so much for liking this AU! And sorry for the late reply!
Well, since Hell isn't exactly like human's society, it's hard to equate. But if I have to compare, I'd say that he's like an Arch Duke or a Marquess in Hell.
Oh, Hell doesn't take kindly to the news of Sebastian's progeny being carried by a human pleb. It's a shame to its denizens. To fool around with human and use them for all sorts of pleasures, sure. But for someone so strong to sire a child with such weakling, a hybrid at that, it's unspeakable abomination!
They tried many times to attack and end both Ciel and the child's life. If Ciel thought he had a huge target on his back before being the young Earl Phantomhive and the Queen's watchdog, that was nothing compared to this... Hell and heaven both out for his blood. But of course, Sebastian handled them all; absorbed all his brethren into the endless shadows of his being with such ferocity never seen before in the ancient entity. Eventually, Morning Star understand that Sebastian was not relenting his protection on the boy and his hybrid child, and wanting to see how this hybrid might survive, maybe even disturb the set order of the universe, he ordered the demonic legions to stand down.
But that doesn't means all is well for Butler and Earl. There's yet another struggle they're faced with; this one isn't so easy to deal with by force.
As I have said before, the demon fetus, with its demonic appetite feasting on human life force, is nothing short of a parasite. The reason Ciel was still alive was because the fetus needs him. The moment it’s no longer reliant on its host, it will kill Ciel. As such, at the beginning of the pregnancy, Sebastian wanted to remove the thing,(he'll even do it without Ciel's consent, just to see him live a bit longer, despite knowing Ciel will hate him). But Ciel saw through him and ordered Sebastian to protect them both. Sebastian could only obey. But he hated that parasite and was struggling to come to terms with the fact that Ciel’s already short human life (and their time together) is cut even shorter still because of this thing. And Ciel won’t let Sebastian save him, just because it’s theirs. Just because it’s his. Human are so different from Demons like that.
For the first time in eons of existence, Sebastian learned to mourn. And what a weird thing that was, when Ciel is still right here. But the end is nigh and it’s inevitable.
Sebastian is unsure whether he could ever come to love a thing that would take Ciel away from him. But Ciel is confident that he could, and he would. It’s their child after all.
Yet another BBS Space AU post! The last two members of the Valkyrie now have faces, Jonathan and Evan! Evan was the last person to join the crew, and is definitely the most enthusiastic about space. Fairly new to anything that isn’t directly related to his homeworld, Evan is more than excited to see what the universe has to offer. His textbook-knowledge of space only exemplifies his puppy-like love for all things space. Jonathan is definitely what you could call a “man of mystery”. His past is a secret to all who ask, and he never leaves his safe haven in the ship’s Archives. His knowledge of space and computers knows no bounds, while who he used to be is a conundrum to many. His walls are built higher than the height of space itself, and it’s going to take more than just a cheery personality and a nerdy affection for astronomy to open him up. More to come, and I hope you enjoy! <3
Happy Luchino and Burke month fellas!!!
