Vanitas and Public Displays of Affection Towards You
Pairing: Vanitas x Reader
Tags: fluff, suggestive, PDA, kissing, marking, slight possessiveness, hand-holding, smitten!Vanitas
A/N: Been a bit since I wrote about the blue moon man.
Tumblr media
The kind of man who doesn't care who sees him being affectionate with you
Why its almost like he wants to be seen, that he craves for others to see how much he adores and loves you
Just for you he'll loosen up his bow-tie and let the wind push his coat and shirt aside to display the marks on his neck, left over when you fed on him last night
There's nothing shameful about these in his opinion even when other scoff at him for it
Vanitas has a flare for being dramatic so you bet he will pick you up and spin you around when he kisses you longer then a second
Always has to hold your hand, not so you don't get separated but simply because he wants to do it
Rather possessive, he pulls you further against him when you're sitting at the park and you catch someone's attention, wanted or not
A kiss is all he can do not to pull you into his lap and tell you to suck his blood right there and then, but he does whisper that little idea against your lips when you part
Never admits that he's being too loud when proclaiming his love for you
In fact he's not being loud enough, not until everyone in the city knows you've stolen his love and affections

LISTEN,
Tumblr media
I don’t know what happened, but I was struck with an idea, blanked out, and five minutes later I have this on my laptop screen.
I can’t put this into words right now, but I know I’m right.

Every time I draw Luna I have a mental breakdown because I just can’t figure their clothes😭😭😭 like I just straight up forget how they work WHY is like this?? could it be a price for drawing them?? like some really weird equivalent exchange??? who knows 
anyway this one is loosely based on “The Lady of Chalott” by William Holman Hunt, since I wanted to use something from the time period when VnC is set. This painting was made circa 1888–1905, so it fits, and, well… prerafaelites are just…… pretty……………

Found Blue Moon Ice Cream in a store and I 404'd on the spot
Apparently it's a mystical ice cream that tastes like vanilla and marshmallow, but Wikipedia isn't even sure about that so huh ??
Also the wiki page says that there's different brands claiming that their blue moon ice cream is the real one what is this mystery
All I need to know is that Luna definitely reincarnated into the real world to make this and Vanitas would hate this ice cream for so many reasons (it's cold, it (apparently) tastes sickeningly sweet, it has blue moon in the name, etc, etc...)

I Miss The Case Study of Vanitas Because Sex
Tumblr media
Okay, please forgive me for the clickbait-y title, but I just had to take it. The whiplash is too fun to me. Anyways, yes, I miss The Case Study of Vanitas (both as an anime and manga, since we've not gotten vol 10 in English yet) because of sex. Not the act in and of itself, but the appeal, the tension, the experience. Animanga isn't nearly as sexless as North American media, but it presents its own unique challenges and issues. So, if you don't mind, please humor my little foray into an attempt to explain the decoupling of fan service and sex appeal, with The Case Study of Vanitas as a medium.
⚠️Warning: I've done my best to keep it spoiler free, but by nature there is mild spoilers in regards to characters and certain interactions.⚠️
Is The Case Study of Vanitas about sex? Well, obviously not, no, it's about vampires. But as much as it's about vampires, it's also about despair, hope, penance and revenge, and the intricacies of the human condition. It just happens to feature vampires as the selling point. And I believe therein lies the best explanation of Vanitas: it's not about sex, but rather contains those aspects as a part of the people that exist in its world.
Fanservice has become a rather perverted term. Rather than appealing to a broad range of applications, fanservice tends to exclusively apply to displays that are sexual in nature (most typically in regards to catering to male audiences). In that way it's not particularly awful in how the term itself has shifted, but the use of fanservice is borderline pathetic in most series. A gaudy display of body parts, it hangs on excessive scale and movement to catch the eyes of touch starved individuals. I don't need a ballooned bosom besetting my vision before bobbing about in a baroque display for all too long. That's not the point.
But what is the point? Well, I've prattled on long enough so here's an example.
Tumblr media
A look in the eyes, the right lighting. Even simple posing. Sex appeal is not limited to explicit displays of sexuality, but is rather the personification of both the character's intent as well as their external perception.
There are so many moments in this series that are in no way explicitly sexual, but can easily be perceived to have sex appeal or sexual tension.
But then, how would that appeal not feel weakened? It's a good question, honestly, and an important one to ask. When you display the chest of an underaged girl enough times, it won't elate the audience enough to be perceived as "good". It's a universal issue with storytelling, so how does Vanitas get around it?
My answer (and perhaps not the only answer) is how this appeal and tension is derived. I had sort of said it earlier, but didn't really explain. Its source is the very nature of the characters and world. It is not an external force exposing these facets, but the machinations of the plot and its pieces themselves.
Have a look at this example here. Vampires are hot, right? Their power, broody nature, and the concept of the unknown have played into their eroticism and appeal since time immemorial (seriously, look up Carmilla). Vanitas pounces on that concept and immediately plays into it. We don't get blood sucking every episode and every second, no. But we get it enough to provide variation, it appears at the right time to provide another layer to the nature of the story and characters.
Anyways, the example. Lord Ruthven and Noe. Two vampires, engaging in something strictly non-sexual. He is simply biting Noe. But the posing, the nature of the layout. It presents tension. It presents Ruthven's ownership and commanding nature of Noe in this moment. Domination and subjugation.
Tumblr media
Even more is this sequence. The commanding nature that presents a clear power dynamic. The phrasing. It absolutely exudes sexual tension. But nothing of the sort is apparent in the actual interaction.
Tumblr media
So what's the deal here. I know I had spoken on how characters themselves can convey tension and appeal without explicit intent to do so, but how can circumstance and interaction play into it as well?
Another lovely question. What comprises the act of sex? What are the pieces that elate, entice, and encourage someone? Well, aside from the answer that it's down to the individual, there's a few core pieces. The "top and bottom" dynamic is certainly the one that appears the most when dealing with pairs. Another, while a bit unseemly and slightly (?) taboo is the concept of fear and violence. Of course, I don't mean in any serious context, but the concept is how those things make you feel, and that they stem from that similar power dynamic. Perhaps that's the best word to describe it with: power dynamic. It's all about how two characters interact with each other, where they stand in relation to one another. The above image is the perfect example of that, and the following is how to build on it.
Vanitas and Jeanne, an incredible combination born not out of a mutual desire for the other, but the sheer interest of one and the needs of another. It's a one sided love spurred on by the actions of one that encourages the other to let loose. It creates the interesting dynamic of a power bottom that remains refreshing alongside the other relationships that exist in the story.
So here's a clip of that dynamic.
The way the camera and characters hang on each moment, the way the layouts aim to both obstruct but also apply razor focus. The voice acting. All of it, every single moments provides for that tension and appeal, and it extends past the act of sucking blood and into the souls of the characters themselves. A terrible plead that spills from blood stained lips, a promise that comes from the origin of that crimson.
This "sex appeal" and "sexual tension" is not something manufactured, but the absolute core of these characters. The act of domination, the incredible an undesired need of a substance, the mental fractures eroding at the ego of a person. All of these moments stem from the very souls of the characters and bubble up to the surface in these forms of expression. Where words will not do, actions speak in their place.
Also, Vanitas moaning. Yes please. The greatest benefit to this series is the fact that it's willing to lean into the men as well. This is not "just" for the guys (and lesbians), no. This is for everyone, but especially those that enjoy a side of insanity and toxicity to their romance.
So that brings us to the end. Vanitas is not "about" sex, Vanitas is sex and is the purest way to deliver on fan service while providing sexual tension and appeal. It's subtle, subdued, infrequent and benign. It does not bend to the desires of the viewer, but rather stems from those of the characters. And so many series need to take note. "Lucky Lecher" and perversely excessive displays have no home in my heart when there are far more artistic and desirable sequences that can be produced.

Vanitas Can't Stop Kissing You
Pairing: Vanitas x Reader
Tags: fluff, established relationship, kissing, teasing, slightly suggestive at the end
A/N: Fluffy commission with the prompt takes from this list.
Tumblr media
78. "You're cute when you get like that."
The first thing you were met with when you visited his room was Vanitas pulling you into a kiss, "Good morning to you, my darling. Have you missed me that much you needed to see me so early." He started pulling you into his room, his eyes glimmering with clear intent of not leaving it for the rest of the day.
"V- We-" You had a hard time pulling away, not because of his grip on you but because of how enticing it would be to stay in his room, in his bed all day. "We have a meeting for our next mission!" You shouted louder then you needed to and ran out the room before he could change your mind.
The meeting went... okay. "Hold still darling." His lips were back on yours again, for the nth time today. From morning to now, he didn't stop kissing you. Vanitas held your hand the whole meeting, he looked at you like he wanted something, and now you knew what it was, "There we go, much better."
You rolled your eyes at his Cheshire smirk, you didn't want it to get to your heart and your head just before a mission. "You can't get enough of me today, can you?" Vanitas laughed and pulled you against him, dipping you down for another kiss before waltzing out the door, leaving you with your face hot and lips aching for the next kiss he would give you.
After the mission, where he also kisses you quite a few times, he led you to his room, "I'm not letting you leave this time." This time he closed the door as he walked you into his room. This time you opened your mouth for his tongue. "You're cute when you get like this."
"Shut up. You've been riling me up all day. It's your fault I couldn't focus on the mission." You pulled at his bowtie and pushed his cape off his shoulders, "You're finally gonna get what you wanted." Vanitas grinned into the kiss as he pushed you to the bed next, climbing on top of you and fully ready to take responsibility for riling you up.

Ello!! Is it alright if I request a vamp! Fem or gender neutral reader with Vanitas?? I have a small prompt. The two bicker alot, but what happens when the reader gets injured and refuses to drink blood to help themselves, and Vanitas is genuinely worried about them?? Sorry if this is too long. Have a wonderful day/night!!
Tumblr media
They had barely made it out with their heads still on. [Y/N] barricading the door while Vanitas looked for something to make it more secure. “There. That should hold it.” He announced, with a slight pant, after he had shoved a bookcase, two end tables, and any other junk he could find in this abandoned shack of a villa to keep the Curse Bearer at bay.
“I’ve never seen one act so violently.” [Y/N] replied. Their eyes still bright red from the fight. As crimson as the blood staining their shirt where they had sliced them with their great, sharp spines.
“Yeah. I don’t think we’ll be able to save this one.” Vanitas commented solemnly. “We’ll have to get its name back to stop it, but the chances of them coming out seem pretty low.”
[Y/N] sighed, afraid of that but aware of the outcome, then swayed a little as they took a step to sit down. “You ok?”
“Yes. Just a little light headed.” They replied.
“You’re still bleeding, hn?” Vanitas commented. Following behind them as they sat down. “I thought you would have healed up by now.”
“So did I. The fight and flight must have taken a lot out of me.” Vampire were incredibly resilient, but had their limitations. Fatigue, hunger, overexertion, could lead to a decline in the healing process, like any living thing. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem for [Y/N], and they would take the slow path to getting better. However, the situation they were in was not one best suited for ‘the slow path’. Their enemy could find them at any minute. It wouldn’t take much to break down their barricade and slaughter them if they wanted. They would need to get out of here, quickly, if they wanted to survive.
“Do you want me to help you?” Vanitas asked. To which [Y/N] scoffed.
“I didn’t know you knew first aid.”
“No I mean….”
He began to gesture awkwardly. It took [Y/N] a minute to realize what he was ‘saying’ and when they realized they were shocked. “I’m not drinking your blood Vanitas.”
“Why not?”
“Why not?!” They repeated. Shocked further that they would even ask such a question. “Because aside from it being illegal, it’s also incredibly inappropriate and….intimate.”
“It’s only illegal if I say no.” Vanitas corrected them. “And I’m offering it to you. Look, do you want to get out of here or not?”
“I think we can get out of here without me resorting to barbarism.” [Y/N] retorted. Voices getting raised.
“Yeah, cause you did a fine job of getting us out of here earlier.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?!”
“It means you couldn’t get us out of here when you were at top percent at the start. Now you’re injured! And you think you’re just magically going to help get us out of here with your positive attitude and morals!”
“You were in my way! I didn’t see you helping any back there!”
“That’s why I’m helping now!” Vantias hand smacked against the wall behind their head. His usually slim frame suddenly towered over [Y/N] in an intimidating way, as he pulled back his bow tie & shirt to expose his neck. “Take my blood!”
[Y/N] sat there in surprise. Their face flush at the situation, but also with the hammering sound of their heartbeat in their ears. It had been years since they had had fresh blood. They really did mean it when they said they thought it was barbarism. But there was a part of them, deep down, that always would crave it. A base instinct that lingered under the surface. A dark whisper, almost like Naenia’s, that beckoned them to take his blood.
Slowly, shyly, they leaned forward towards Vanitas’s neck. To his credit, he did not move. In fact he only flinched a little bit when their fangs pierced his skin. The warm, rich flow of blood trickled down their tongue and down their throat. Making them feel like they had never been warm in their life until this moment.
They suddenly realized why some rouge vampires became addicted to this. They suddenly realized what all the fuss was about.
“T-That’s enough [Y/N]…” Vanitas called out to them and pushed [Y/N] back. His turn to swoon a little bit now. “It won’t do us any good if I can’t walk out of here now.”
“Oh…I guess you’re right….” They suddenly felt embarrassed that they had lost themselves in the moment. Then they looked down and realized that all their injuries were healed. “I think I’m all right now. Better even. Better than new.”
“That’s nice.” Vanitas replied, before he slumped down beside them. “I just need to sit for a bit. Then we can try to make a break for it.”
“I’m sorry. Did I….-“You didn’t do anything wrong.” Vanitas butt in. “I just need to sit for a minute.”
They sat in silence. Listening to the stone flinch around them in their cubby hole. It was the quietest moment they had never had together. They never spoke of what happened again.
