Hot take: The Woobification of Sebastian and O!Ciel-How Beauty Clouds Judgement

Hey guys, it’s me again and I can’t sleep. I have another hot take to share! Once again, please don’t take this too seriously, I’m just talking.

So, I just want to start off by saying that I totally get it. I mean it! We’ve been following these characters for years and we’ve gotten so invested in there stories and we can’t help but want them to win, you know? It’s human nature to want to root for the underdog in some ways. And, O!Ciel kinda fits the mold of underdog when you consider his backstory.

But, and this is my opinion, Ciel and Sebastian are NOT the underdogs. And I can’t help but think that if they both weren’t so pretty, you’d see a lot less people excusing their behavior or rooting for them.

I should also stress that I’m not talking about the people who look at these characters through a complex lense, I’m more so talking about people who are insistent that O!Ciel and Sebastian are good people/not evil.

Like I said, I get it and I empathize with the kid, but the kid is a BASTARD. He has progressively become an awful, awful person and that’s the POINT. And I can’t help but find it boring when people try to strip that away from him.

People feel bad for O!Ciel because he’s been through a lot, which yeah he definitely has. And people are mad at R!Ciel for standing against him and at Lizzy for turning on him, at least for now.

And, again, I kinda get it because we’ve been with O!Ciel for so long and it’s natural to root for him. But, O!Ciel is not the good guy! Lol what’s happening right now is that he’s currently being forced to face the consequences of his own actions. Which, let’s be honest, he wasn’t expecting to ever have to do because of his personal countdown death clock, Sebastian.

I can understand why he told those lies, especially at the beginning. But there’s no excuse for them anymore. He should have BEEN told everyone the truth. Would it have been easy? Of course not. But it would’ve been the right thing to do. While it’s understandable why he did what he did, he still took away his family’s ability to grieve and R!Ciel’s ability to rest, at least in my opinion.

Also, I think it’s important to note that, after a point, O!Ciel started to ENJOY being Ciel. So much so that he’s willing to fight the real Ciel for his own name. Which is absurd when you think about it!

His family absolutely ain’t shit for not only not noticing the difference, but also not doing anything to step in and really be there for that boy. But again, that’s part of the point of what Yana is trying to say in that upperclass Victorian society is/and was depraved, shallow, and mostly evil.

O!Ciel may have been thinking of the others when he made his initial decision but the decision was still selfish. I think that it’s ok to say that; while yes, he suffered from heavy survivors guilt and truly thought that his family would prefer for R!Ciel to come back (and unfortunately he wasn’t wrong), he still, if only subconsciously, wanted the power, prestige, and access that R!Ciel’s name carried.

He LIKES being Ciel now and loathes his old name and position. He LIKES the power, the access, the maneuverability, hurting people when they get in his way, killing those who wronged him, the security of Sebastian’s presence, the ability to make his dream come true (made a lot easier with Ciel’s name), the dark mind games he plays with people. ALL OF IT. He loves it and that’s the POINT.

And Sebastian is a demon. Yes we all know that, that’s not news. However, I still feel like we give the man (entity, whatever) too much credit a lot of the time. Again, mostly because he’s pretty.

Is it possible that he grew to care for O!Ciel in someway? Sure! And I do believe he legitimately has a lot of respect for O!Ciel. But I honestly think it’s more likely that the bastard is hungry and the current events are making him worried that he’ll end up being killed or losing his meal in the end. I don’t think it’s impossible or too much of a stretch to say that he’s grown fond of O!Ciel in someways, but best believe that child is food. Yana even outright says that Sebastian LOVES to see Ciel suffer! Only it’s not so fun when Sebastian is also suffering too, lol he’s a narcissist.

TLDR: It makes sense why people root for O!Ciel and Sebastian. But I think we give these two way too much credit sometimes and there’s an over abundance of people trying to absolve them both of their evil. They are both garbage (lovable garbage!) that are currently facing the consequences of (mostly Ciel’s) actions. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. Please don’t kill me.

Divine comedy au

N/A: This is not exactly serious nor is too dramatic. LK joins the X-men in a normal way, I know he´s all about evil things, but, the X-men suffer so much with bad writing that he wouldn´t need to do anything, instead, his plan is to build the empire and then destroyed(to him is funnier) and Zaorva also enter in the X-men in a normal way too. As Outer Gods they, LK and Zaorva never truly meet(aside from the meetings) so they didn´t recognize the other.

@djinmer4 @dannybagpipesarecalling @sailorstar9 @discordsworld @look-ma-no-hands336

#1 Is a sunny day at the institution when Kitty Pryde aka Shadowcat receive news that a new member will be joining the team, usually, this type of news wouldn´t warrant many reactions from Kitty, except how suddenly this all was.

Strange, she thought to herself, I´d not see anyone being recruited for this month.

“Miss Pryde” Paige shows up with teary eyes, while the woman is far from a little girl, every time she´s near Kitty she has no problem in acting like one, many people joke that Kitty has a big mommy aura and in moments like this Kitty has a great sense of humour. “Yes, child?”

“I had a nightmare” Paige confessed drying her tears and Kitty waits for the young woman to explain herself better as she clearly wants to. “It was a big snake that was vomiting more snakes and….someone was there laughing” Paige gets a hug and Kitty promised it was a dream, give an excellent excuse as she blames the latest movie where they used a CGI snake as a monster of the month. “Child, the snakes, in real life, only attack if provoke and I´d know you won´t ever fight with one” Paige nods. Kitty embrace Paige as she´s a child(some people do point out, sometimes, how is strange that Kitty has this effect, is almost like she really thinks she´s Paige´s mother)

Somehow, Kitty thinks her nightmare is a bit strange for a human. Humans fear snakes, that´s a given, but, in what mind someone would laugh at that?

#2 Kurt Wagner is a German mutant from Bavaria and has the ability to teleport, Scott and the others take an immediately like for the new welcome and Kitty is in the corner watching as people are sharing secrets so easily with him.

At the same times, the nightmares increase and Kitty notices how Piotr was acting odd, sleeping walking and speaking of his sister as she was dead…even through Yana is in the mansion safe and sound.

Paige´s nightmares get so violently that she was forced to go to Kitty´s room and cries, as she told the nightmares, are worse, now, the serpent king is laughing at her. “Please, I can´t handle this anymore” Paige is crying and kitty let her sleep in her room, the poor thing was so scared she never noticed how Kitty never sleeps.

This situation was odd and it gets odder when Ororo shows up sleeping walking and using her powers at full volume, thankfully, Kitty manages to wake Ororo up. “Is a protection charm,” she explained as Ororo asked what´s going. “Did I hurt anyone?” and Kitty asked, “No, of course not, people were awakened by the strong wind but no one is hurt”

Ororo is thankfully for that but asked. “I was never a sleeping walk before…what´s happened?” and Kitty stays with Dr McCoy long enough to fabricated good excuses and Beast itself shows up to console Storm and everything is alright, even Paige is managing to sleep in her own room without nightmares.

So…it really wasn´t a normal nightmare. She thought bemused.

Meanwhile, Wolverine´s corpse is being devoured by her little “bunnies” and Kitty can say the X-men don´t need this Wolverine as much they never need that Jean Grey. #3 Kurt Wagner is far too pleased as the X-men are exactly how he imagined and is impressed, how to make a real empire of the X-men and how to see it crumble. It´ll be glorious.

First, I need to see who will be the king. He thought amused, entering in the kitchen to eat something, maybe Scott? Yes, the man is cut out for that and won´t handle the pressure. He concludes mentally.

Entering in the kitchen with the satisfaction some of the X-men are having beautiful nightmares, not all of them(Paige and Storm are immune for some reason, but, it does not matter, they all will fall into his plans) and is surprised to see Kitty Pryde gazing upon him.

I´d not see her…where was she? Thought Kurt a bit perplexed and the man notices how he never really engage in a conversation with Kitty before, even though, she´s always watching(and he can´t watch her? This is far more interesting that the lack of nightmares of Ororo and Paige)

“Hello, Katzchen” Kurt can represent a good and kind man if needs and Kitty´s gaze should have changed, yet, she´s still gazing upon him as if wanting to see something more. That´s…interesting. “I´m here for a cup of water” true, even IT has to drink water(not a need per se, just a small pleasure he likes. This and drinking beer) “I couldn´t sleep, too excited for tomorrow and you? Nightmares?”

“NO!” her answer is too strong, too personal and Kurt is taken back, is not a way a human would behave (some have warned that Kitty is not 100% normal and do not mind what she's saying or do)

They gaze each other and his evil smiles is taking place of his mask. She´s interesting and IT likes that. “I head Ororo and Paige were having problems with nightmares and I think you help them,” Kitty nods and Kurt can tell she never blinks as her eyes are a beautiful tone of azure that Kurt never saw before(at least, not in a human) “I´m glad they have you as a friend”

Kurt speaks in a low tone. “ They told me you´re a strange witch, are you?”

Kitty didn´t flinch. “They told me how much they love you and I´m jealous,” that confession did take him off guard “ it did take me a while for them to truly accept me and you conquer their hearts in one day, that´s impressive,” Kurt, for some reason, is blushing at this praise “ yet, this means nothing to me as I tend to like the X-men and I´d keep an eye on them…I´d hope the nightmares end now”

Kurt is in silence until he speaks again. “bold words, Katzchen, can you really back it up?”

Kitty´s face is now inches from his. “Actually, the question you should ask here is: Is it worthy piss Kitty Pryde off?”

And she leaves and Kurt has a favourite X-men now.

Bobby Drake was the sole reason why Rogue and Kitty did take a while for being friends, so, when Kitty spots, by accident, Bobby reading “the book of life” a book of her cult with her rules and it makes Kitty reevaluate Iceman.

Oh, maybe he´s not a douchebag as I thought, Kitty thought to herself.

“Bobby? What are you reading?” a perfect and human question to make and Kitty can count on her fingers the times she messes this one up. “The book of life is a book about the outer god of creation, Zaorva”

Kitty nods pleased as Bobby repeats her 3 golden directives’ and even like how he used the Galaxy Hitcher book to concluded her own book, and Kitty is impressed. “And what you take from this? Are you planning to join Zaorva´s cult? Paige and Ororo are there as well” Rogue too, she mentally adds, but even she can know how is not good to mention Rogue now.

“Well, is a good cult, I suppose, even if all cults are bad” Kitty frowns at him, but, can see his logic(humans leading cults about themselves always end in disaster) “but, There´s Zaorva and let me tell you, she´s a nice MILF, the Goodness of MILFS”

Kitty´s eyebrows twitch as her mask is cracking for a moment, in the end, no one in the mansion got a nightmare, except Bobby, but Kitty knows fully well the reason. Kurt for once is confused but did enjoy Bobby´s nightmares. #5 Kurt Wagner spot Rogue talking on her phone, once she´s over talking with her mother, Kurt did ask something. “Hey, is Kitty single?” Kurt knows about the love triangle and is a nice way to inject a bit of pain even if is in a minimum dose.

“Well, she did was with that Japanese dude” Rogue makes a face and now in a confessional tone adds “Look, don´t tell anyone I told you this ok?” Kurt nods “when we were in Japan, there´s this Japanese man who was with us…and I swear he looks like a male Japanese version of Kitty. The people in the area seem to know who that man was…but no one told us anything, hell, not even Kitty and Ororo did ask but nothing…the odd part, the Japanese man, aside from never give us a name(and the fact people refuse to give his name) was treat like he was a god…and the same courtesy was applied to Kitty and only them” Rogue concludes and asked again to Kurt to not reveal that to anyone.

“I promise” and Kurt is thinking about this, what is Kitty up to? Is she dating a Japanese´s deity?NO, if that´s the case she would stay in Japan(he knows a thing or two about them and knows they don´t like long-distance relationships) then…there´s two last options, one, she´s HER Herald or two, she´s HER.

Well, I´d have patience, if she wants to show herself to me she´ll. Kurt thought.

#6 The Hellfire obey all the commands of one force and Kitty could hardly care, however, the Hellfire was instructed to captured Kitty and take information out of her, of course, Kitty is not even going to pretend to be scared.

As she looks at the corpses of Emma Frost, Sebastian Shaw and Selene who all have their eyes burned and fume in their mouths, Kitty did catch a name in their minds and is ready to take action.

The X-men arrives to save Kitty and the woman has enough sense to fake, rather well, how she´s happy to see them and how the Hellfire was insane, they look at the defeated enemies and Kitty fabricated a lie saying their ego went insane. “Oh, they all wanted to be the leader and that´s the hubris talk, poor humans” Kitty speaks and no one notices how odd that is.

Kurt intervenes. “But, didn´t they vote for Emma to be their leader?” Kurt asked not caring their toys are broken, he has much better toys and something far better in the mansion that anything Hellfire could ever hope for.

Kitty is quick in her answer. “Oh, everyone wants to be the Pharaoh, Kurt, and that´s more than enough to kill” she concludes and Kurt laughs amused, no one else thought that was funny, well, Kitty certainly appreciates someone else likes her sense of humour.

#7 Kitty had enough of this situation, the hellfire´s death was one thing, but, the situation on the US is far too chaotic to be human-made(not that the humans can´t be chaotic) and how suddenly there´s this talk about making the X-men the rulers of earth, well, of the US and how this can affect other countries is too chaotic and too strange to be human.

Only Kurt is amused and applauding the broadcast interview as Cyclops is decreet that Iron Man will be punished for his crimes against humanity. “I had enough of this!” Kitty shouts as her eyes are full azure.

She holds his face with her hands and looks deeply into his golden eyes. “I´ll show you how I truly look” and one second later the intensity of the moment is broken by Kitty blushing and look amused. “Oh my! I had no idea you are here, I´m sorry”

Kurt is too amused and looks at her hands on his face softly. “Don´t be, I didn´t recognize you too, and your tentacles are beautiful” This prompts Kitty to blush and smiles prettily now, as her mask is cracking just like IT. “Me? Your tentacles are something else, I couldn´t ever recreate such beauty” Kitty explained. “The crawling god of chaos is truly something else,” and Kurt is palming her face gently. “I´m a big fan of your work, Zaorva, I even went to Japan to see your cult, I like the name of your mask there, very fitting” and Zaorva thank him. Both are talking and ignoring the TV news saying Ironman will be sentenced to death. Now, the X-men have 2 outer gods.
