The fact that these two have white hair makes me think that (their father) Count De Sade also has white hair…which would mean Teacher just has a habit of picking up (& adopting?) white-haired children.

Like…. What is the purpose, you blonde hoe.

It is giving Jack Vessalius vibes (manipulating vulnerable children into doing your bidding)

(And why does he only have one fit 👎)

An Examination of Blood Drinking as Sexual Allegory in Vanitas no Carte

(contains spoilers for the VNC anime and discussion of sexual assault. also, it is long :) )

This is referencing the anime alone, as I haven't read the manga. If that makes anything I say incorrect/incomplete, please correct me!

Alright, let's get into it. I've got several points here, so i'll number them.

#1: Blood drinking is an allegory for sex in VNC.

Just to make sure we're all on the same page, blood drinking in VNC is treated as a sexual allegory. It's an extremely intimate physical act which, when consensual, is pleasurable for both parties involved. (We'll get back to the consensual thing later.) When taking place in the context of a relationship, the process requires a lot of trust and represents intimacy between partners.

#1-B: Forced blood drinking is an allegory for sexual assault.

We see two occasions where Lord Ruthven drinks a person's blood without consent. Both of these times, it is framed as an act of violence and an enormous violation.

Ruthven drinks Noe's blood after drugging him with food/drink. Noe then protests that he does not consent to the blood drinking and that he wants to leave. This has a lot of parallels with real-world date rape, and is clearly shown as a violation.

Ruthven forces Chloe against wall and bites her against her will. This scene is especially framed as a grotesque violation and betrayal of their friendship, shot as if the actual bite itself is too dreadful to be seen. She immediately ends their friendship and is clearly deeply traumatised by the experience.

Another scene arguably falls under this heading, although unfortunately not in the same tone.

When Noe wakes up in Chloe's castle, she is drinking his blood. Noe responds to this very negatively, and throughout the remainder of the scene is obviously upset and feeling violated. From Noe's perspective, this scene represents a sexual assault. However, it is not treated with the same gravity as the assaults by Ruthven, with Chloe and Jean-Jacques apparently not caring that she has violated Noe's consent.

This is, sadly, accurate to a lot of portrayal of sexual assault of men. Because Chloe is female and smaller than Noe, she is not treated as threatening and violating Noe the same way that Ruthven is. I don't like this, but it does align with the allegory.

#2: Blood drinking is not ONLY an allegory for sex.

Unlike sex, drinking blood is a nourishing process. (I'm not totally clear whether it's required to sustain vampires, or if they can subsist off normal food alone. Please say if you know!)

In vampire society, drinking another's blood often signifies a close social bond and deep trust between people, but does not necessarily represent a sexual bond between them. This can best be seen in the fact that young vampires drink blood in scenes that are not framed as sexual at all (and thank goodness for that!!).

It can also be an act of violence (divorced from the sexual assault allegory referenced above), used to harm or even kill a person, or a display of power.

Another reason vampires may drink blood is to exert their powers.

#2-B: For vampires with blood-based powers, blood drinking is rarely sexual allegory.

For Lord Ruthven and Noe, blood drinking is how they use certain powers.

The first time Noe drinks anybody's blood does not align with sex, because its primary purpose is to gain a person's memories. It is also often a very traumatic experience for Noe, not pleasurable for him or the person he is drinking from. It is only with people whose memories he has already seen (e.g., Louis and Domi), that the interaction represents emotional and physical intimacy.

This is particularly relevant when it comes to the scene with Mikhail, because if that scene was a sexual allegory it would be Deeply Disturbing. However, for both parties, the blood drinking is a transaction - Mikhail wants Noe to see his memories, Noe wants to save Domi. (There are a couple of uncomfy shots of Mikhail's bare shoulders, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.)

However, for Ruthven in particular, blood drinking is a sexual allegory for his victims, as his attacks clearly represent sexual assault for them. For him, it is merely a way to exact power over them. This can arguably be considered part of the sexual allegory as well, but i thought it relevant.

#3: Sexual pleasure is sometimes (but not always) derived from blood drinking.

Sometimes, blood drinking goes beyond sexual allegory and becomes a sexual act. This is particularly true for Vanitas, and seems to be the case for Dominique when Noe drinks from her. It's unclear whether this sexual pleasure is a biological effect of the blood drinking, or these two just happen to derive pleasure from such an intimate act. There are definitely cases where sexual pleasure is not derived from blood drinking, and the vampire feeding usually does not experience sexual pleasure. Maybe Vanitas and Domi are just kinky.

This fact exists separately to the sexual allegory previously discussed. Just because a scene is a sexual allegory, does not mean that it is actually sexual.

#4: Why is this interesting?

This is interesting (to me) because it's a particularly complicated and interesting example of an idea being represented both literally and allegorically, and how allegory can be abandoned when it conflicts with the specific details of worldbuilding.

Well, that's it! If I've gotten anything wrong, feel free to correct me! You can also add to this with your own thoughts!!
