Canon

Fanservice

Shippers believe that creator Yana Toboso uses homoerotic subtext and romantic imagery and metaphors while writing Sebastian and Ciel's relationship.

Because of this, there are fans who question if Sebaciel is actually canon[1].

Fandom

As of 12 July 2023 there were 3,458 works on AO3.

Fans may enjoy this ship for several reasons, some shallow, and others more intellectual. They may enjoy fanonizing the ship, and making the characters softer and more loving than is shown in canon. Some ship them for the aesthetic, and how pretty or sexy the characters are, or would be together. There are those who enjoy seeing a demon who purports to have no feelings, become attached to an 'insignificant' human or 'meal.' Others rather enjoy the freedom having a demon as Ciel's closest relationship gives him, or the darkness that such a relationship allows to consume him[2].

Antis

There are a great number of antis, but shippers try not to take it to heart. CW: Discussion of Abuse: Occasionally, some antis use real abuse as part of a call-out for Sebaciel shippers, but many respond that it is a coping mechanism, Archived version.

I cannot take Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler antis seriously. Like there is no way you are a fan of that and still an anti, it's not physically possible. You cannot watch or read Kuroshitsuji and somehow completely miss all the very explicit sebaciel hints and vibes and shotabait. You're either a stealth freak (affectionate) or a fucking bot but there is no way you're real.

THAT IS THE POINT. THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT BITCH HES A DEMON. HE MEANS TO EAT THE KID. HES LITERALLY A PREDATOR IN THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL SENSE. IF YOU DONT LIKE EROTIC SUPERNATURAL GAY PREDATOR/PREY FANTASY WHAT IN SWEET JESUS PUSSY ARE YOU DOING IN THE EROTIC SUPERNATURAL GAY PREDATOR/PREY FANTASY FANDOM. THE FACT THAT HE IS A PREDATOR AND CIEL IS HIS PREY IS LITERALLY THE WHOLE POINT OF THE STORY IDK HOW YOU MISSED THAT.
