as a demon, he likely behaves in a way wholly different from the persona of sebastian. yet what he performs now is part of his education, not an artificial “illusion of continuity.” if he claimed to have attended balls at schönbrunn palace, then either he truly did or he lied — and i doubt the rules of a contract can be bypassed with technicalities like “it isn’t a lie if i’m maintaining my façade.”

moreover, sebastian is not omniscient. he excels because he learns. we see this from the very first chapter, when he had to improvise a solution to the catastrophe caused by the other servants, flipping through books to find a description that would match the image he had constructed. it was the same when he and ciel learned how to coexist. he never needed to know the proper temperature of bathwater for a human body, nor how to brew tea — and so he made mistakes. but he learned to cook, to polish silver to perfection, to kill quietly enough not to disturb his master. that is what makes him fascinating as a demon: despite possessing centuries of existence, he continues to evolve. and i would argue that this perfectionism and meticulous attention to detail are traits of the demon himself, not merely of sebastian.

in the past, authors like anne rice have tried to limit the production of fanfiction. but at least rice was honest - she thought this infringed on her copywrite. back in the day, this was considered a valid argument to not create any fanfiction at all for her works.

do you understand what i’m saying? while you may sound valiant for placing a creator’s “discomfort” above the fan’s natural proclivities in fandom, really you’re just continuing to advocate for censorship in fan spaces.

Make whatever you want, but don't show it to the original creator. Writers legally cannot read fic of their work. It is a perfectly reasonable boundary for actors not to want erotic art of their characters thrust upon them. Don't link copyright holders to fan merch of their IP. And for the love of fuck, stop @ tagging the people who make the thing you're a fan of to validate your headcanons or rebuke someone else's.
