not really sebaciel not really cielcest but a secret third thing

r!ciel striking a deal with Lau to drug o!ciel up so he can come steal him

The Undertaker had advised against it. Ciel wasn't ready yet. He shouldn't be out this late. It could jeopardize his plans. Their plans.

But Ciel had discovered where his little Astre was hiding. He knew what hole that rat had dragged him to, and so it was impossible for Ciel to stay away for long.

He had told the Undertaker this was the strategic move. Astre couldn't be allowed to plot against them. Astre couldn't be allowed to set his network of operatives into motion. Despite the price on his head, he surely had enough loyal pawns left at his disposal to kick up a fuss.

They both knew Ciel simply couldn't stand the thought of Astre moving freely, couldn't abide the threat of his brother traveling somewhere he could not follow. Astre was supposed to be safely stashed away at the Yard until preparations were complete. Until Ciel was ready to retrieve him.

Either way, the time to collect Astre had come sooner than originally planned. This was necessary, and as an added bonus, would free him from that odious presence a little sooner.

In the darkened streets of London, in this part of town, Ciel felt almost like a flaneur, though he was hardly an idle dandy looking for a good time. He sought pleasure, yes, but it wasn't so shallow and fleeting a desire as that.

Ciel arrived at the den of sin — a back entrance, for deals such as the one he had struck — and gave the secret knock. A woman let him in, and the Earl didn't bother to hide the contempt on his face as he entered. The man he had made arrangements with had not deigned to greet Ciel himself. What a greedy coward Astre had put his trust in.

As soon as Ciel's part of the baragain was upheld, he would have the man killed.

There was a sickly sweet scent in the air, like overripe fruit rotting on the ground. The odor grew as he was led deeper into the building, until it enveloped him, surrounded him. There was a haze hanging in the air, and Ciel wondered why the demon had thought this an appropriate place for Astre. Useless. Negligent.

His rising anger quelled at the sight that was suddenly, gloriously, right in front of him. Close enough to touch, finally.

So he did.

"Astre!" he said, throwing his arms around his brother. "What a naughty boy you've been, running away like that. You have the Yard in a tizzy, you know. Not to mention how concerned Uncle Alexis and Aunt Francis are."

sorry i hope you don't mind me turning this into a bit of a random ramble actually HGDJSHGSDH it's something i've thought about quite a lot !!

despite it seemingly just a retcon they entirely went back on i think about it and the possible implications of it a lot. like, i Am pretty sure it's just a retcon. HOWEVER !!!!

other old artwork that's like this that i'm aware of are these two

in terms of the actual animation the only time he's wearing them is in sweet dream,

[interestingly, till also has a patch on his neck in this scene. i know vivinos' style makes them look young in general but they're definitely children here and till wearing a patch on his neck Seems to have ended up being something he does to hide his branding. either because he hates it or it's uncomfortable against his collar, considering it'd be metal in his neck being pressed harshly against it, or both though my opinion lays more on him hating his branding. overall not important here, it's a side tangent of a side tangent, i just think it's interesting how small design things like this were adjusted later in development]

which is absolutely a retcon [frame from karma. related to the above tangent, till's neck patch is now gone]

this frame in black sorrow if you want to count it

and the shot of him in cure when he was just brought into the [adoption facility?]

overall it seems like in terms of the canon timeline he was only collared when he was very young, before unsha adopted him

which makes the timeline of this frame interesting to me [black sorrow, of course]

what was going on in this scene. he's clearly a lot older than when he was first dragged out of the slums. why was he being threatened, and what was up with the other children around him ?

they're too small to tell if they're supposed to be wearing collars or not. where are they from !!! is this before anakt ? what was ivan doing before anakt ? this had to have been after he was adopted by unsha, considering;

while he does look beaten up in that black sorrow scene, he doesn't look dirty, and his hair is straightened and about as neat as it can be with him in the position he's in. so unless this is another accidental continuity issue, it's very head scratching to me.

ANYWAY ALL OF THAT RAMBLING ASIDE I WANT TO LOOP BACK ONCE AGAIN TO ☝️ this one

i want to reiterate that i am well aware this image is probably the way that it is because of design and writing retcons. HOWEVER. it's very fascinating to me to think that this is after the meteor shower occurred. it's not out of the question to think they would've gotten found out, and that ivan would be temporarily collared as a punishment. it would add such a fascinating layer to why he looks so... melancholic ? the absolute slightest of smile, wider eyes, and upturned eyebrow isn't a very common ivan expression. it reads to me as some kind of pained acceptance that he's forcing himself to make peace with, contrasting the green light on his collar. it gives a very solid reason as to why till's collar is red. he probably didn't think ivan would come back because of him.
