Blood Work (p1), Elitism, transmutation, and religious fear

⚠️ long post ⚠️

So, I now have a copy of Blood Work: A Tale of Medicine and Murder in the Scientific Revolution, by Holly Tucker. It's a reference for Yana-san, as she mentioned it in her old tuna.be blog around the start of the blue arc.

I see in the list of important people a mention of the real Dr. Moreau, and there's a later chapter about chimeras... so I know I'll be talking about that some, over this series of posts.

It's important here, too, because when researchers were first attempting blood transfusions in the 17th century, people were terrified about receiving blood from animals, like sheep and cattle. They thought that animal blood would transmute humans into human-animal hybrids. Even in the 20th century, some white people were terrified of receiving blood from black people, because they thought the blood could effect the race of their future children or grandchildren. Nonsense, of course, but they didn't understand.

17th century blood transfusions were generally performed by taking blood from a lamb or a calf. The barbers/physicians/researchers had no clue about blood types. Jean-Baptiste Denis successfully transfused blood from a lamb into a teenage patient. Then he made several successful attempts at transfusing from a calf to a "madman". The guy later died, and Denis was blamed. Turns out some doctors who didn't want him to succeed had actually poisoned that second subject with arsenic.

It wasn't even a matter of those physicians wanting his experiments to fail while theirs worked; no, they simply didn't want blood transfusions to become a practice. They were afraid of transmutation from animal blood, and they were afraid of what animal-to-human blood transfusions would reveal about humanity -- that we are truly just animals, too. The trial against Denis ended research into blood transfusions for about 150 years.

Blood types were still unknown in the late 18th century, when a physician wanted to attempt to revive George Washington's largely exsanguinated corpse with a transfusion of lamb's blood. FYI, he died on a December 14th, just like Prince Albert. His family refused the offer only because they feared sullying his body with animal blood, and they insisted his body must be left untainted and wholly together for him to be properly received into heaven. Such was the continued lack of understanding. Yana-san might have given Undertaker the idea to use blood transfusions in conjunction with other techniques for the reanimating and revival process from the account of what that physician wanted to do to Washington.

When blood transfusion research was in full swing, in the 19th century, they were starting to piece together the idea of blood groups, but they still didn't quite know about things like universal whole blood donor and universal whole blood recipient. There was a strong elitist element to this, so they generally thought like could only be compatible with like. They also still saw non-human blood as inferior, even if it might be compatible. The best compatibility was expected between twins and then between close relatives.

I have a feeling that Yana-san has played around with this bias, which would explain why real Ciel is only receiving AB (Sirius) blood, Canopus B, Vega O, and Polaris A. All those people at Sphere Music Hall are led to believe they are being treated as equals, when they are in fact being split up into a caste system where some "stars" are of a higher magnitude than others. And, at times, Blavat Sky and others have made it clear they see some blood types as being less worthy than others. By extension, some people are treated as less worthy. Blavat seems to realize that Sirius can receive blood from other blood types, because he gives "leftovers" of Vega and Polaris blood to the Sirius renal patients. It's possible that real Ciel doesn't know he can have any type of whole blood, but I suspect he knows and simply doesn't think anything else is good enough for him.

I'd also like to mention Snake and Finny here, since we know Finny was injected with something to increase his strength and other traits. Then we see Snake with various attributes that are associated with snakes. In either case (or both) we could be dealing with transmutation. It's not realistic in our world, but it might very well be possible in theirs. Each of them might have been injected with chemical cocktails derived from other animals: Snake from snakes and Finny from perhaps a few completely different species.

We now know Snake wasn't born a snake and turned into a human, but there's nothing to say he wasn't born human and "adulterated" with snake traits. There's also the weird story the freak show attendant claims: human mother and snake father. Maybe not an actual snake as his father but more like his mother being injected with snake blood or something... and that producing a hybrid child. Again, not what we'd consider possible, but the Kuroverse plays by different rules.

One other aspect I want to touch on in this post: Othello's and Grelle's fears regarding the very nature of human souls and existence. This is a form of religious fear, not too different from what George Washington's family feared. His family feared he wouldn't be accepted into heaven, while these two reapers fear humans might no longer even need souls, and that heaven may no longer matter to them. What would that mean for the existence of reapers, when their supposed salvation requires them to keep collecting souls?

Well, I'll probably talk about bias and fear again, as well as these other issues, but I'll stop here... for now.

I forget if I've ever said this before, but Hayate's blood type is AB canonically. Kei's is O.

Their parents were heterozygous A and B, respectively.

I'm sure it's not going to be relevant.

I'm thinking Dean's blood type would be O negative cause he can donate to all blood types but only receive from O negative, literally the most caretaker of blood types

Doctor: "what's your blood type?"

Me: "O-positive"

Doctor: "are you sure?"

Me: "oh, positive"

Doctor: "okay cool"

They then use my blood in a transfusion and the patient instantly explodes into a puddle of gore because I am actually a Groot type alien whose every phrase just coincidentally sounds like "oh positive" and I was actually warning him that my blood type is really ξβ-7+

Do the Imp twins prefer O- blood like their SAMS counterparts?

They have preferences, yes, but they're not super picky.

Additionally, for science, in the tags tell me if you're always hot or always cold. I've always been curious if I'm on to something when I think blood type dictates whether you're the friend who's always hot or always cold

(I know it has more to do with circulation and hormones from the hypothalamus but please humor me and my funky little hypothesis)

Pines Family Blood Type

So, you know how in my neck of the woods of the USA, people have a fixation over Sun/Star/Moon signs and horoscopes?

Well, it's a bit different over at the land of the rising sun, Japan. For them, it's your blood type.

So I wanna tackle that with the Pines Family twins.

I'm sure someone may ask why I don't do Zodiac signs. Well, that's because it's more concrete for the two sets of twins. Not only, but because of their nature as twins, they're gonna have the same Zodiac signs. (Dipper and Mabel is Virgo, Stan and Ford is Gemini *because of course it is*)

Blood types, on the other hand, are a different story. Two siblings, even when they are twins, can have different blood types. Now, while this is a possibility in fraternal twins like Dipper and Mabel, its extremely rare in identical twins. However, considering that Ford was born with polydactyly, a genetic deformity, and Stan didn't, who's to say that they can't have different blood types?

I will go off the record to say that, this doesn't have to be the case (each Pines having completely different blood types), I'm just doing this to have fun.

Plus, looking into this actually helps me pick out which blood type I can give the characters instead of just randomly picking one like a normal person because I like to give myself a hard time!

The Ketsueki-Gata Theory as it's called doesn't factor in the 'positive'/'negative' part of the blood types, so I won't add that in. Also, the choices I make aren't gonna be 100%. At least, to me it isn't. Just to see which blood type fits the character the most. Even then, I struggled to see who fit which type.

Where I got the information is in this link

First off, Type A:

And this fits one Dipper Pines to me.

Next, Type B:

After reading all of that, I knew that Type B would fit Mabel like a flippin' glove.

Now, the next two (O and AB) were actually a bit tricky because I can see Stan and Ford being either. However, a lot of the times (as far as I know with the animes I've watched), characters with type AB are usually the genius type. Not to say that Stan isn't, but-

Type AB

I honestly feel that this blood type fits Ford better.

Type O

By process of elimination, and the fact that there are a lot of traits here that fit Stan to a 'T', this type goes to Stanley Pines!

As I had said earlier, I'm not married to the idea that these are their blood types. It was just for fun.

What do you guys think?
