@midnight-in-town had the great idea to celebrate the hottest (not just because of the fire) dad of the manga on his birthday so I made a few Vincent headcanons, because we see so little of him

He had a bad relationship with his father; the older Phantomhive was afraid of his own son’s ambition and hunger for knowledge and power. Because of this, Vincent wanted to have an especially close relationship with his own children

His name means “conquering” Those who loved him, knew how fitting it was. He conquered fears, people, prejudices, sometimes even himself.

He was on his way home from Germany when he saw a man preparing to shoot his dog, because it was disobedient. He bought the animal and gave it to Ciel as a birthday present. They tamed it together and named it Sebastian.

He couldn’t wait to have grandchildren to tell wild, unreal stories about how he was a fearless warrior in his youth, who wrestled with giants

Rachel called him ‘old’ when she wanted to annoy him

His first thought when he saw Rachel for the very first time was “God, I need those eyes in my family”

He was very cynical by nature, uncapable of falling in love at first sight. He fell for Rachel two months after their introduction, when the young woman beat him in chess.

When Rachel told him that she’s pregnant he hurried to Tanaka first to tell him. The old servant knew it already. Vincent wasn’t surprised

He always asked for Frances’ opinion before big decisions. He didn’t think that relying on his sister was a weakness; he knew that together they were unstoppable

He honestly believed that Ciel is a better version of himself.
