Did Doll or Joker ever realize the same truth that our Ciel had about Baron Kelvin sacrificing the lives of the left-behind workshop children to use as replacement parts for the prostatic limbs?

Were Doll and Snake friends during the circus arc? And are they getting along now?

Doll did not know what the circus doctor was doing with the kidnapped children or the children from the workhouse.

Joker learns that the doctor was using the kidnapped children for that purpose, at the same time that our earl learns it. More specifically, the kidnapped children who died at Kelvin's manor. I don't think Joker ever knew for sure that the workhouse residents had succumbed to the same fate, but he might have considered it... as he was bleeding to death. But the doctor and Kelvin don't explicitly say this then. Our earl went there expecting to find a bunch of people needing help. On the way, he talks about a philanthropist who might be willing to become its new benefactor. He probably never would have travelled there if Kelvin or the doctor had announced (to our earl, Sebastian, and Joker) that the workhouse residents had been used for this purpose already.

About Snake and Doll, it seems he had/has a soft spot for her. In ch50, when he's offered a job at Phantomhive Manor, his memories of the circus troupe focus on Doll. Perhaps because Doll made such an effort to make Snake feel accepted.

It might be entirely platonic, but he does blush in ch197, when Susan asks what his relationship is with Doll.

Either way, Snake is genuinely concerned about her. Doll is acting weird at the end of ch196, but that's because of her condition as an advanced bizarre doll who needs a fresh blood transfusion. Otherwise, they seem to still get along well together.

Joseph’s eyes see nothing. He hears Shizuka's voice, but it comes from worlds away. All he can do, all he can concentrate on is breathing.

Faces appear before him. Smokey. Speedwagon. Granny Erina. Avdol. Iggy. Kakyoin. Mother. Caesar…

Friends and loved ones. Allies. Dozens of them. A yellow spark sprinkled out from Joseph’s non-robotic hand, as he takes his last breath. A tiny smile comes to his lips as his golden heart shines one last time. It had been a good life.

Joseph Joestar

REST IN PEACE

Rambling about Fairies - Manga Chapter 50

My heart breaks for Lucy. 

She was willing to jump off a building if it meant escaping her father. She finally finds herself a home in Fairy tail, only to realize that the guild was destroyed, went to war, and people got horribly injured-- and it’s all indirectly her fault. 

She has nowhere else she’d rather be, but her existence is destroying the home she’s finally found.
