You know what bothers me? Sebastian putting on clothes.
No, not for that reason. (Well okay, maybe a little for that reason). But mostly because it feels inconsistent.
In Sebastian’s flashback to his first moments with Ciel, we see him step out of the shadows after taking a “form appropriate for a servant to an earl.” We can only assume that meant magically creating his clothing.
I’m fine with Sebastian being able to create matter. What bothers me is what happens when he gets back to the manor and starts a daily routine that involves putting on clothes.
How many suits does he have?! Is it just the one he created? That would make the most sense, because it would be hard to order suits that precisely match the one he spawned . But if he only has the one, why are there scenes of him getting dressed? He doesn’t sleep, so what was he wearing before?
Or if he has many suits, does he also still keep the one he spawned? Does he survey his closet and think, “No, not the Woolshire wool tailcoat today. I’ll go with the one created from my own infernal essence.” Does he feel uncomfortable when he has to wear clothes he did not create from raw energy?
Of course, I’m making mountains out of molehills. You could explain away the inconsistency. Maybe when Sebastian reconstructed the manor after the fire, he created his own room with a closet already full of butler suits. At least then all his suits would be magic.
I guess it bothers me more because I don’t prefer to think of Sebastian’s clothes as generated matter, but rather as much a piece of his meat-puppet disguise as his face or hair. His clothes ought to be part of himself, permanently attached.
So when I see him put his tailcoat around Ciel all I can do is have a fangirl moment and think is “OMG he’s wrapped up in part of Sebastian’s body!!!”
