Sebastian Michaelis (maybe an introspection)

He is so hot.

I'm sorry. I know, I know.

Thirsting on main is crazy, but I can't stand it. Maybe it's the voice. Both the english and Japanese dub are so smexy, but J. Michael Tatum has such a great voice.

So many characters in that show are so smexy. I love Black Butler, you know it went crazy with my friends when we were in middle school. Such great memories.

I also love the deeper introspection that has been happening now that fangirls are becoming fan ladies (myself included) Sebastian is just so much more than a pretty face- he's also a jerk lol.

He is a demon, so it makes sense. But Sebastian is very sadistic and I only really started to notice how much when looking at him without hearts in my eyes. When ever he sees anyone in pain (Ciel, Beast and even Joanne Harcourt from the new season) he is so...giddy. He takes deep pleasure in it. He even will rub salt on the wound just to make it hurt more.

With Beast he saw how hurt she was with Joker's constant rejection and Beast called him out on it. She knew that he was manipulating her, that he was saying everything possible to get her defenseless against him. What's more, it worked. And he was all happy that it did.

One of the most uncomfortable scenes (Beyond that one poor kid blowing brown in his pants on the cricket court, the new season is insane sometimes ʘ‿ʘ) was the scene where Sebastian finds Joanne Harcourt in the library. I won't spoil it, but Harcourt was going through some things. He was emotional and hurt and Sebastian clocked it immediately. You know he's taking pleasure in someone's pain when his eyes are softly glowing (Different from the bright glow when he's fighting) 

Someone made the joke that Sebastian is like Drake, the comment was so funny it made me giggle but someone explained under it that the reason the scene feels strangely sexual is because Sebastian is taking a lot of pleasure in Harcourt's pain. The scene from Harcourt's perspective isn't strange, he's just a school boy confiding in his teacher, but Mr. Demon was doing everything to rub salt in Harcourt's broken heart. It was that same feeling when Ciel was having a panic attack during book of circus in the recreation altar room.

I know that people have said that Anime Sebastian and Manga Sebastian are two different demons. I've never read the Manga (I will one day, I promise) but someone said that in the Manga you get the impression that Ciel can only barely keep Sebastian in line. In the Anime, Sebastian is much more playful than he is malicious. 

It's these things I love because it makes Sebastian so much more than I originally relegated him as. He is attractive, he has a nice voice and is very charming, and he knows he's all those things. He uses all those things to get his way, he does everything for his own pleasure and hunger. One of the reapers, William T. Spears, mentioned that Sebastian was going mad with hunger and it put a lot of things in perspective.

The reapers and other supernatural beings can clock what Sebastian is instantly. William knew Sebastian was hungry and he saw that it was driving Sebastian insane, but Sebastian was more than willing to put up with hunger because he want's the best soul and will do everything to make it tasty when he is finally able to fulfill his end of the contract.

Although, there are people who have noticed that Sebastian is unwittingly going through changes himself whether he wants to or not. We don't know how his old contracts used to go, or if he ever made contracts to begin with, but Sebastian is invested in the revolving story.

He is in for the long haul. He's met people who he has grown to respect, he's met people who've surprised him and people who proved to him that human beings are much more than he originally thought. I would not say it's made him soft, but it has changed him. 

Maybe it made him slightly more....empathetic? Gentle? I don't have the word for it, but I've seen it in the manga spoilers. If you don't think so, I'm willing to hear it out because I love talking about Black Butler.

(TL:DR: I love Sebastian Michaelis because not only is he hot but he is also a jerk and a very interesting a three dimensional character. Mr. Demon is a sadist but I think he's slowly becoming more empathetic.)
