Then, it makes sense he’s loved by millions, right? Well, he also
happens to be a demon, tied to his master by a blood contract that will give
him his master’s soul to feast on, by the way, the owner of the soul he wants
is Ciel Phantomhive’s, who was 10 at the time of the contract. He kills without
blinking an eye, manipulates, lies, anything his Master wants he will do to
perfection. How is he so beloved?
My guess is that Sebastian speaks to a deeply guarded fantasy of danger
and violence. In the realm where dark fantasies and fetishes live, Sebastian
will be king. He has the perfect Dom air, courteous and impeccable on the
surface, but in reality sadistic and dangerous. With a man like Sebastian every
moment would be a surprise, will you get the polite facet or the brutal one?
The unknown can seem very appealing.
Of course we are talking about fantasy, human nature wants to fix and to
feel special, he provides that fantasy, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Real life can be a very evil place, most people wouldn’t pursue a relationship
with a “man” like him, but in fiction we’re safe. It’s safe to imagine a crazy
night in bed with the character Sebastian, it won’t hurt, we won’t bleed. It’s escapism
in its best form.
So, let us all enjoy the ride of being with such a fascinating
character, let’s enjoy the danger and the excitement in the safety of our
minds.
