If you have blackheads on your nose: Mix together half a spoon of honey and half a spoon of cinnamon. Put enough of the mixture to cover your nose and then massage for 3 mins. Wash it off with warm water and most of the blackheads should be gone!

do you ship sebaciel ?

A very good question, but a complex answer.

Well, let’s see if I can put this into words. It’s so complex and titanic, that words fail to capture it.

In the traditional, physical/romantic/lustful sense, no, I do not ship SebaCiel. Sebastian strikes me as an asexual character. (His line about material things holding no sway over him from the early episodes of Season 1 gives me that impression.) Likewise with Ciel, I see him in a similar fashion, plus he also has the added issue of undergoing a severe trauma which has left him emotionally detached from everyone around him. We’ve seen Sebastian be caring, respectful, and protective of children’s innocence all throughout this story: Ciel’s, Lizzy’s, Sullivan’s. He’s joked about how Young Master is too young to understand such things–during the Weston arc, for example. Therefore, he’s not going to make advances towards Ciel physically; to me, if they did, it would be rather OOC for both of them.

We’ve seen Sebastian do his best to guide Ciel to be the proper English gentleman (not hitting Lizzy,) protect his innocence (not letting him hear Madame Red’s joke, not letting him see the Jack the Ripper murder scene,) to prepare him for life’s failures (Chapter 14,) and keep him safe from bodily harm. These are all rather parental behaviors. So mainly, I see Sebastian as Ciel’s protector. I also see Sebastian as an unwitting parent and tutor with a mix of camaraderie and “partters-in-crime” thrown in for good measure. They are equals in that last respect.

That being said, Sebastian is the one person whom Ciel can show his weak side to, and Sebastian is the only one who protects and comforts him. Their bond is special: Sebastian fills a hole in Ciel’s life that no one else in the manga can, and Ciel is likewise very special to Sebastian. Sebastian fills a need for this poor, young kid who’s been through too much in his short life: Sebastian is his protector, his strength, his stand-in parental figure now that he has none.

Likewise, the price Ciel pays for that is a grave one: his soul. Each of them owes the other something. Each of them fills a need for the other: Ciel gets the ability to exact his revenge, Sebastian gets entertainment and a prime soul. Both fill a need, but both could destroy the other if the other wanted. Sebastian could tempt Ciel down a self-destructive path. Ciel, as Sebastian directly stated can literally order Sebastian to disappear–to die. So why haven’t they done this yet? Because, for now, they need each other.

They are both the best and worst thing in the world for each other.

Because of this, their relationship is constantly in flux. No one is ever in charge. Both are what the other needs; but both could destroy the other if he so chooses. They are bound together by fate, and their relationship started out quite rocky, but here is the beautiful thing: they’ve grown to respect each other as time wore on.

Remember in the beginning how Sebastian dawdled when he had to save Ciel?

That changed to this–Sebastian almost sacrificing his own life for Ciel:

And this:

Remember how Ciel enjoyed hitting Sebastian with his ring when Sebastian had to play “dead?”

Well, that changed to this:

Ciel spent the entire story up till now enjoying Sebastian’s failures, wanting him to lose during the Curry arc, giving him a hard time, and not being impressed by anything he did. And then we have this–Ciel finally praising his butler, whom he is now proud of:

So that’s how I see their relationship: they are fated to be with each other, they complete each other, they could destroy each other, but they both seem to be moving towards a place of mutual respect, and perhaps they have even begun to care about each other. That is a beautiful, transcendent thing. This is a story about finding respect for someone you previously couldn’t care less about–isn’t that the very essence of humanity, learning to form a bond with those around you?

So, no, I don’t see their relationship as a physical one–that would make their relationship no different than a human couple’s. To me, that would be lowering their bond to everyday banality, to simple carnal desire. They would be no different than two ordinary human beings. It’s not a little fling or romance or lust or a crush. It’s not that–it’s something grander. No, I see their bond as something that mere humans could never achieve. Something we could never see in real life, something us lowly mortals can only dream about. It doesn’t exist in our world. It just can’t exist between two human beings–it’s something that exists in the heavens, the stars, the myths, the dream world. It’s something above and beyond and loftier than that.

So I hope that helps explain it to you. I don’t “ship” Sebaciel, because I think their dynamic transcends what shipping is. It’s something much more beautiful than that.
