"I won't regret anything. And neither will I rely on anyone."
That, right there, is the crux of the knotty problem that is Ciel Phantomhive.
He refuses to feel guilt, or regret. He refuses to experience those sorts of normal human emotions because in his line of work, he can’t afford it. He can’t afford to regret a decision, because that might end up with him failing to move forward in an investigation. As the only child in a sickening, merry-go-round world of corrupt men and women, he’s being forced to grow up so much faster than he should have. He cannot waste time on regret, because to waste time on regret would lessen him in the eyes of his peers. He can’t work if people see him only as a child.
The reliance issue is a bit more tricky. I think it’s because he feels he cannot trust anyone enough to rely on them. Whether it’s because they try to mother him (Madame Red) or they betray him eventually (pretty much everyone else), he’s had his ability to trust other people gradually ironed out of him. He literally can’t do it anymore, and if he tries, he thinks, again, he’ll be seen as a child still. As one of the Evil Phantomhives, as Queen Victoria’s not-so-metaphorical garbageman, he cannot ever be seen as anything other than an efficient and brutal master, and that’s destroying him slowly from the inside out.
That’s my perspective.

Tell me, Tumblr, what exactly does checking this box do for me? Because I thought it communicated to you that
and that
the risks involved with continuing its use. You’ve made it clear to me, I’ve considered your points, and I’ve made it clear to you that I have decided to keep Missing E anyway.
But for some reason you aren’t getting the message. For some reason, you are making me re-tell you this every time I log in, as if you anticipate I will change my mind. So, let me make it really clear to you.

girafes: anthropomorphia: Ethiopian girl guarded from gang...
Ethiopian girl guarded from gang rape & assault by three lions.
“The girl had been taken by seven men who wanted to force her to marry one of them. She was beaten repeatedly. Then the lions chased off her captors. The three lions guarded her for about half a day. They stood guard until we found her and then they just left her like a gift and went back into the forest.”
Then, Stuart Williams (the local wildlife ‘expert’) suggests that perhaps the lions mistook the 12 year old girl’s cries for a lion cub. Which seems awfully silly, considering that lions are perfectly capable of telling apart the gazelles they eat from their own cubs, aren’t they?
#and surely if an animal knows rape is wrong people should too
