Inkarmat: Why use makeup and high heels to strike fear into the hearts of men when just existing as an autonomous person with your own thoughts and feelings is the most terrifying thing any man can imagine.
It makes little sense for him to openly accuse his brother like that, in front of everyone, especially when he said that he’d stand firmly against anyone who’d want to hurt him for his lies.
Undertaker comments on bizarre dolls and their ability to lie here.
“Their mouths that cannot clamor noisily or tell lies any longer.” I mean, he could be referring to bizarre dolls not being able to speak anymore, but that… I don’t think that’s the case. He didn’t intend to have his bizarre dolls never speaking again, did he?
Apparently, if you look behind the psychology of lying, you’ll find out that feelings are strongly related to lies. Most people lie because of certain feelings, but, if what real!Ciel lacks is feelings, he might not be able to lie per se. That would be an interesting affair, considering how much of Black butler’s plot is based on lies.
Either way, real!Ciel doesn’t make a big deal of his brother lying. Chapter 140:
So when he’s telling everyone that his brother has been pretending to be him, he’s like, “Oh, he said he was me! Haha! Isn’t he so cute?”
The latest chapter (143) also lowkey hints at this.
But was there any need for him to admit that he was incapacitated? By admitting this, if you also take into account that Lord Sirius needed blood, he almost confessed that he was the one who needed blood – which is weird. He could have made up a lie somehow, but he didn’t. Maybe he couldn’t.
What’s also very interesting about real Ciel is the extreme change between when he was alive and now, when he’s a bizarre doll. Perhaps it’s because he doesn’t feel emotions anymore, so he’s more blunt. Or perhaps he can’t filter his reactions anymore – he can’t lie.
His reaction to Sebastian talking:
roast him boi
It’s so blunt and straight forward.
Anyway, this is just a small theory. Thank you for reading, if you actually took the time to do it. Any thoughts on it?
I got to thinking, how much does Undertaker know about the negotiation talk between OCiel and Sebastian? Since he asked OCiel if it made any difference if RCiel was actually alive or dead.
Viscount has long been theorized to have been part of the Satanic Cult. He’s already known to be taking part in occult activities.
And he does have an assistant who has… much of the same outfit. Especially the mask.
And we know Undertaker likes good ol’ slave auctioneer Viscount of Druitt.
(I mean they have that occupuation in common after all. Dealing in human trafficking lol Undertaker ur a real scumbag aintcha. But that’s a different topic.)
The viscount is a funny guy, and a doctor. Someone who would be able to help Undie with the science-y bits that Undertaker isn’t very good at, according to Othello
Anyway, I just thought… Does Undertaker know that Seb doesn’t take on multiple contractors? If he didn’t see the thing about “hey, necromancy is #notcool” that OCiel said, did he see the bit with Seb’s contract policy?
I don’t know about the specifics of the process of “giving Sebastian to the Viscount” but if Undertaker has promised the Viscount that he’d get a demon contract if he helped him with this Bizarre Doll Project, I wouldn’t surprised.
Another thing that excited me about the last chapter was seeing Louise and the callback to an event I’ve talked about very recently concerning Mikasa’s development.
I’ve referred to her salute here as the beginnings of her development into a proud soldier and defender of the peace. What is especially significant about this development is that it is wholly separate to her love for Eren. So, seeing Louise give the same salute here in trying to convince her to help Eren ignites a certain cognitive dissonance within her.
She’s seeing, in an image, her duties as a soldier combined with her desire to help Eren.
