Will the reaper, a look into Grell’s life before becoming a reaper

I watched Will the reaper last night with my best friend and found the amount we learn about Grell in this is actually WAY more than I thought at first. So I really wanted to go over my thoughts here now that I’ve slept on it and alike.

Here we go

Ships aside (I actually dislike Willgrell personally or gerlliam or w/e) I think when we watched their interactions we learned a lot more about Grell and her past then most ppl caught on at first.

First the majority of the OVA Grell is ruthless, cold hearted, mean and pushy with William, treating him as if her A grade makes her a better reaper despite her low grade in everything else.

This tells us a few things, either that Grell came from a high standing family in society OR more likely Grell came from a Military family.

Personally knowing people who come from families with heavy ties to the military I think this is a way more likely possibility given a few things.

Grell doesn't seem to be from typical nobility, she’s not as helpless as earl’s like Ciel shes VERY physically capable as proven by her VERY deadly and powerful skills in battle but this also explains her other grades of a B in written and a C in phycological.

Coming from a military family, especially if you’re the only child Grell would most likely be groomed for military duty from a very young age, this would put a tremendous amount of pressure on her mentally hence the same grade as Will in theory but the C in physiological. Grell had a VERY hard life for some reason, SOMETHING made her mentally like this and her theatrical side could be how she attempted to break away from this “grooming for war” life she may have grown up in.

This could also explain Grell’s brutal side, the side her family forced into her from a young age for war, for a military role. Her theatrical side was her own personal interests, he own unique wants for her life that we can assume her family did not QUITE approve of.

Something else I feel is worth talking about is how Grell handled the writer guy they were sent to reap. 

Despite Grell’s appreciation for the arts she was very quick to want this poor novel guy dead. I believe Grell was so quick to judge him due to her past of her own artistic interested being so violently dashed in her own life for so long is reflected in how she views interests in the arts in others initially. 

Initially

Because once he made comments that encouraged Grell even slightly she became INCREDIBLY excited and showed off quite a bit. MAYBE bc no one else ahs ever encouraged herrrrrr?!?!?!?!

So now let’s talk about That fight between Grell and William.

And Grell’s reaction to it.

I think it’s very safe to say the Grell has never actually lost a fight but that's just touching the surface here.

Grell said while getting her butt kicked “what is this sensation?” and mistook her own masochistic arousal as love.

This is huge because this is pretty clear indication that Grell has never experience ACTUAL romantic love before. Grell’s probably only ever experienced physical pleasure and even THEN not much and certainly not enough to make him unable to distinguish it from an emotion like love.

Anyway, these were jsut my own thoughts on what I saw. I hope you all at least found this interesting.

[thesebastianaesthetic]

“Why would you say something like that?” he asked, the demon’s eyes finally leaving his mark as the man sat at the bar so that he could shift his attention back to the reaper.

“All these humans lead such boring and played-out lives. They’re the opposite of distracting, you could say,”

Sebastian reached a hand out and stopped the bartender before he reached the man to take his order and said, pointing to his mark, “That man could use a very fine drink. Please give him this. Tell him it’s a house giveaway,”

Sebastian gave the man a small bottle and sent him on his way down the bar, where the demon’s mark became giddy at the prospect of free top-shelf booze.

[little-red-reaper]

“It is such a bore, the human world. I lost interest in it long ago” Grell commented rather bluntly once the bartender left to give the man the bottle Sebastian had given him, not wanting to be heard despite how quietly she was already speaking. “It is only decent when actually being a human, when unaware of just how mundane everything truly is.”

As she took another sip of her wine, a figure came into her peripheral vision, the redhead glancing to her side to see a man with a nearly empty glass in hand smirking at her. Normally, all attention was good attention for the flirtatious woman, but now it was just a nuisance.

He parted his lips to speak, but she cut him off quickly, her tone of voice harsh and clearly showing her annoyance. “As I said an hour ago, and when I first arrived, I am not interested, and no amount of alcohol I drink will convince me otherwise. Now leave.” Grell turned in her seat so her back was to him and she now faced Sebastian, glaring down at the ground. She visibly tensed a bit when the man walked off mumbling insults towards her, but did nothing more than that, letting out an exasperated sigh. 

[thesebastianaesthetic]

The demon's eyes followed the bottle as it went from the bartender to the man it was intended for. It was clear that the man had already overindulged when he fumbled thr bottle open and greedily gulped half of it down. A mere sip would have done it. It was no matter to Sebastian, nobody would be able to tell the difference between excessive drunkeness and what had happened to that man until it was far too late.

"I've found that most beings, human, demon, reaper, or any others, are agonizingly boring. The trick to living," he said, pausing to down his drink, "Is finding the interesting ones."

Shadows of Neverland || Sebastian and Rumple

[thesebastianaesthetic]

“Do you treat everyone who comes here like this?” he asked the boys as they walked.

[deals-and-the-chipped-cup]

“Of course,” one of the boys responded as if it wasn’t such a bad greeting that they were surrounding Rumple and Sebastian with sharp, poison-coated sticks.  “But don’t worry, you’ll be treated well as long as you don’t cause any trouble.”

Rumple remained quiet.  It wasn’t as if the boys were all that threatening.  All he was interested in was arriving at the camp and finding Bae and Ciel, hopefully without alerting his father that he was here.

[thesebastianaesthetic]

"I don't think anybody *wants* trouble," he said, content to just follow them along since they weren't actually attacking.

After a few moments, Sebastian asked, "Do you get a lot of trouble here?"

[thesebastianaesthetic]

A note on cosplaying and, perhaps, a farewell. As some may recall, I cosplayed Sebby at Connecticon this July when I went with @redchainsawreaper. There, we ran into this Ciel, and we just *had* to take this picture. It was one of many I took with various Black Butler cosplayers that weekend. Tonight, at a bar, I was out as Sebby again and I ran into this Ciel's mom, who noted who I was dressed as. A few minutes of talking later, we figured out that myself and her daughter had met and taken pictures at Connecticon. She went on to tell me how her daughter, the Ciel cosplayer, went on for weeks and weeks about how taking this picture made her con experience. I have never felt so honored to be that person in the fandom to make someone else'e experience. To those of you who are considering cosplaying and are on the fence, I urge you to go for it. You never know whose day you might make! ... ... ... Also, as you all know, my activity has been spotty at best over the last six months, but I am finally, probably a bit late, declaring a hiatus on Sebby. With university and work being what they are, I simply do not have time to keep up at this point. I hope to pick up again in December.

Shadows of Neverland || Sebastian and Rumple

[thesebastianaesthetic]

“Take us there, then,” Sebastian said nonchalantly. He was truly unconcerned about the wooden spears of children, even if they appeared to have a more… unfriendly substance on their spikes. What’s more, there was a chance that they would just lead him directly to his young master. If they didn’t do that, he could at least learn more about this place, and maybe begin to find a way for the Earl and the butler to escape once they had been reunited.

[deals-and-the-chipped-cup]

“This way,” one of the boys said, gesturing for them to follow.  Rumple didn’t like the way that they all remained in a circle around him and Sebastian though.  They were going with them willingly, so there wasn’t any need to treat them like they were prisoners.  His lips twitched down in a frown as he started walking.

This was the best plan though, and was the reason why he wasn’t showing any signs that he wasn’t the young child he appeared to be.  The Lost Boys were likely to lead them straight to where Bae and Ciel were.

[thesebastianaesthetic]

“Do you treat everyone who comes here like this?” he asked the boys as they walked.

[redchainsawreaper]

You need to rest

“Why would I need to rest?”  Grell said, even though she knew the answer perfectly well.  “We should take advantage of this time we have together, Sebby.”

@thesebastianaesthetic

[thesebastianaesthetic]

“You know that when we’re alone it’s never just ‘a little kiss’,”

[redchainsawreaper]

The pout stayed on Grell’s face, even though she knew that Sebastian was right.  She hadn’t intended for this kiss to be just a little kiss, just like all the other times she kissed him.  “That still doesn’t mean you had to stop me.”

[thesebastianaesthetic]

The demon’s eyebrows raised impatiently, “That’s exactly what it meant,”

[redchainsawreaper]

Contracts and Babies || Sebastian and Grell

[williamtshakespears]

William’s eyes narrowed dangerously as he listened to the story. He didn’t care for Sebastian in the slightest, and he wasn’t very optimistic about his child with Grell either. But there were limits. He would never think to attack a woman while they were pregnant, he would never think to attack a child, no matter what. “Once we get you patched up Grell, I would like to hear every detail you can remember, and I will deal with Mister Culper personally.” 

@thesebastianaesthetic

[thesebastianaesthetic]

“William,” he started, his voice trailing off a little as he scanned the range of faces around them, “Is he here now? Just nod in a direction– I need to know what he looks like,” Even though William was helping them now, Sebastian had no confidence that he would follow through with Culper’s punishment, at least not to the degree that the demon had in mind. What’s more, should Culper make a getaway, he’d need to know exactly who to watch out for. @redchainsawreaper

[redchainsawreaper]

Grell wanted to look around herself to see if Ellis was one of the reapers who were probably staring at them as they made their way down the hall, but she knew that trying to do that would only make her side hurt worse, and it already hurt bad enough when she didn’t try to move in Sebastian’s arms.  So she kept her face buried against him.  Even if Ellis was here, would he really try something now with both Sebastian and William with her?

She considered saying something more to William too, to share some more details of what had happened, but she didn’t really feel like it at the moment.  And William had said after she’d been patched up.  So that could wait.

@williamtshakespears

[williamtshakespears]

William easily cast his eyes about, landing on every reaper he could see before returning straight ahead to his path. “He’s not here. If he is back at Dispatch, he’s in another section. Or more likely, he’s still out in the field. I’ll send word to Ronald, Eric, and Alan to keep an eye out for him.” If there was one thing he hated more than demons, it was reapers turning on their own. No, he never particularly liked Grell, but there was still a connection there, due to heritage and similar beginnings. That, and he knew Jelena would harp on him until the end of eternity if he didn’t help her sister.

They soon reached the medical ward, William ordering nurses to tend to Grell and get a doctor. They were hesitant at first because of Sebastian, but William’s glare and barking orders quickly got them over their fear. 

@thesebastianaesthetic

[thesebastianaesthetic]

It wasn’t long before a couple of the nurses came over with a stretcher, and Sebastian gently laid Grell down on it so that she could be rushed off for treatment. He knew at this point that the most he could do was stay out of everyone’s way and wait-- the situation was far too tenuous for him to take off and begin investigating on his own, and he didn’t trust that this Culper wouldn’t still try to show up. A sense of helplessness overtook the demon, but he managed to not let it show; he could not let it show. @redchainsawreaper @williamtshakespears

[williamtshakespears]

Double Date

[thesebastianaesthetic]

“It seems like it will be quite the occasion,” Sebastian remarked, “If you’d really like to see Romeo & Juliet, then we can later on,” @williamtshakespears

[williamtshakespears]

Jelena thought this was going wonderfully well. No physical fight had broken out, so she’d call this a win!

“I personally think The Phantom of the Opera is a better play to watch with a partner. Christine and Raoul have a much better relationship than Romeo and Juliet did.” 

“Oh, I love Phantom of the Opera!”

@redchainsawreaper

[redchainsawreaper]

“I’ve never seen that one,” Grell said, although the plays she was most familiar with were Shakespeare, so that wasn’t too surprising.  She didn’t always pay much attention to other plays.  Not that she didn’t enjoy those too, she just had her favorites.

@thesebastianaesthetic

[thesebastianaesthetic]

“I have not had the opportunity to see it myself either, though any play that partners enjoy separately can be appreciated together,” @williamtshakespears

[redchainsawreaper]

Contracts and Babies || Sebastian and Grell

[williamtshakespears]

William was trying to deliver paperwork around the office to the juniors, when a portal interrupted his route. Portals were a common-enough occurrence in the Dispatch. It was what came out of the portal that stopped him. “What the h-” He didn’t get a chance to ask his question when he noticed Grell’s current state. He sighed heavily. “Follow me to the medical ward. You can explain what happened on the way there.” He turned and started down the halls. Other reapers were whispering and murmuring as they passed through, only to be immediately hushed by William’s harsh glare.

@thesebastianaesthetic

[thesebastianaesthetic]

Sebastian felt his own tension lift ever so slightly at William’s reaction to their presence– he had not expected it to be so nonviolent. Still carrying Grell, he followed William as he walked, being careful to keep close, “I wasn’t able to get much, but she was attacked on her shift, apparently by another reaper,” he said lowly just so William could hear. He still didn’t know who was behind the attack; nor if any of the person(s) were around at the moment. @redchainsawreaper

[redchainsawreaper]

Grell shifted slightly in Sebastian’s arms at the sound of William’s voice, but decided that was a bad idea when pain rushed along her side at the movement.  It hurt so much that it was difficult to think about much else.  But she did listen to what they were saying.  “It was Ellis Culper,” she mumbled.  “He attacked me, he wants to kill the baby.”

“Why would I need to rest?”  Grell said, even though she knew the answer perfectly well.  “We should take advantage of this time we have together, Sebby.”

@thesebastianaesthetic

[thesebastianaesthetic]

Still thoroughly unamused, the former butler put his hand out and stopped Grell’s advance by placing it on her forehead.

[redchainsawreaper]

“You won’t even let me kiss you?”  Grell pouted a little, annoyed that Sebastian had stopped her.  “What’s the harm in a little kiss, Sebby?”

[thesebastianaesthetic]

“You know that when we’re alone it’s never just ‘a little kiss’,”

[redchainsawreaper]

Contracts and Babies || Sebastian and Grell

[thesebastianaesthetic]

“Of course I can,” he said, ripping his overcoat apart and wrapping it tightly around Grell as to keep pressure on the wound. Once that was done, he picked her up, and walked through the portal. He knew that it was dangerous for him to just walk into the world of the reapers, especially now that at least one of them was out to get them, but he had little choice and was sure he could take whichever of them was behind the attack.

[redchainsawreaper]

Grell clung to Sebastian as he carried her through the portal into the reaper realm.  She hoped that none of the other reapers would put up a fuse about him bringing her here.  Even if he was a demon it wasn’t like he was going to cause any trouble.  They should hopefully be more concerned that another reaper had cut her side open with a death scythe.  Burying her face against him, Grell decided to not worry about how they’d react to Sebastian unless it became a problem.

Contracts and Babies || Sebastian and Grell

[thesebastianaesthetic]

“I know,” he said, not letting up on the pressure. He took a mental stock of the supplies they had on-hand. It might have been possible for Sebastian to treat the wound, but there was no certainty, Besides, even with his general proficiency at, well, everything, he had no idea on how to check on the baby. “Can you manage to make a portal to your realm? Your best chance at treatment is there,”

[redchainsawreaper]

Creating a portal really wasn’t something Grell felt like doing at the moment.  It had been all she could manage to create the portal that had brought her here.  But even if she didn’t feel like it, Grell realized that Sebastian was right.  Other reapers were more equipped to treat death scythe wounds than Sebastian would be, even if she was sure he’d still do a good job.

“Yes, I think so,” she said.  Not bothering to move just yet, she created a portal right in front of them.  “Can you help me through it, Sebby?  It hurts too much to move…”

[thesebastianaesthetic]

“Of course I can,” he said, ripping his overcoat apart and wrapping it tightly around Grell as to keep pressure on the wound. Once that was done, he picked her up, and walked through the portal. He knew that it was dangerous for him to just walk into the world of the reapers, especially now that at least one of them was out to get them, but he had little choice and was sure he could take whichever of them was behind the attack.

Shadows of Neverland || Sebastian and Rumple

[thesebastianaesthetic]

Sebastian turned and went back-to-back with Rumple, ensuring that all of the children were visible, at least between the two of them. He also tensed, bending his knees slightly which enabled him to be ready to pounce or flee at a second’s notice. “Yes,” he said, agreeing with Rumple, “The welcomes that I’m used to dealing with normally aren’t so very armed,”

[deals-and-the-chipped-cup]

“Oh these?”  The boy glanced at the weapon with a shrug.  “Neverland is a dangerous place.  It isn’t safe to wander without them.”

“Yeah that still doesn’t make me feel very welcome,” Rumple said.  There were several more things he wanted to say but he held back, had decided that it would be best for these boys to think that he and Sebastian were just two more boys that had been brought to this island.  He’d play the part for as long as he could, or at least as long as he felt like.

“We’ve come to take you to our camp,” another one of the boys said.

[thesebastianaesthetic]

“Take us there, then,” Sebastian said nonchalantly. He was truly unconcerned about the wooden spears of children, even if they appeared to have a more... unfriendly substance on their spikes. What’s more, there was a chance that they would just lead him directly to his young master. If they didn’t do that, he could at least learn more about this place, and maybe begin to find a way for the Earl and the butler to escape once they had been reunited.
