Ferdinand with his little animal friends 🥺🥺🧡

I'm still losing it over Lorenz's academy phase bangs but let's ignore that 🤣

You know how Ferdinand has so few friends before the timeskip? It makes my heart ache and I wanna see this version of him just as loved by everyone else cries. No doubt he's quite the snobby noble but I mean...

Please tell me you get it.

Safe in Your Skin

Vergil/Reader

Vergil stands stock still, calculating and cold to anyone else in the world but you. 

Were you foolish for coming closer, or did you know him better than he knew himself. The world was falling apart around the two of you and it grew more hostile as dark gusts and white flashes of death-bleached lightning scattered dangerously near. 

He could make it all go away but a man who’s never hesitated believes stopping this relentless turmoil admits defeat through his entire body.

Why won’t you run? Why won’t you leave? 

Don’t you know being loyal to one is being disloyal to the rest of the world, including you? 

He’s supposed to be better than this, more than this fallen crown and burned child who still lives in that house fire. 

This isn’t what he wanted and surely this couldn’t be your fantasy. 

Vergil hasn’t moved and it’s killing him the way a shark cannot stop navigating the waters where it is the apex creature. 

Your brows are furrowed lightly with this thinly laced concern and doe eyes that only see him. 

Stop it. Just stop it. 

He wants you to leave him in this crumbling palace he’s made of his mind. 

He’s not supposed to love you. 

You’re so close to him that if it weren’t for the cold air from his ragged breaths concealed in his vessel, he might have been a statue. 

“Vergil…” 

Don’t touch him. Don’t make him break. 

Your hands just hover millimeters away from his covered skin and make it up from his arms to his neck, fingers glancing to almost caress his face. 

You know who he is, what he is. He’s not untouchable and trying to intimidate. 

Vergil is afraid. Not of you, but the fact that you aren’t of him. 

“It’s going to be okay.” Your lips sing it so quietly only his veins can hear it, blood pumping furiously into his heart. 

He’s blue and frigid, but you know better. He laments how you do. 

Truthfully, he’s a flame, so intense it’s the color of sapphire, trapped in a glass body that can’t take anymore. 

Your skin against his makes him want to lash out, to take the blade and cut you down like all the demons that have come too near. 

But it’s damning. He couldn’t conjure that desire because it’s the opposite of what he wants. 

You’ve always wanted to give him what he wants, nose bumping against his as you get him to tilt his proud disposition and let him be eye-to-eye with what he truly deserves. 

Those ice blues shatter like the rest of him as his arms wrapped around you, your palm coming to cradle the back of his head, fingers running through winter hair. 

Been replaying DmC for the few free time i have, together with remake 4 and this wacky wahoo aristocratic foie gras The Council (play this..just for the heck of it)

And...I maybe missing something but It's just a thought. But Vergil implanted to us, the audience, and to Dante this Chosen One Narrative... Which is completely subverted by Dante himself, but also if we really look at the Nephilim themselves.

"The only ones that can stop a demon king are Nephilim." "Half angel, half demon, we are Nephilim."

The thing is, they're just powerful enough to thwart at least one too powerful active demon royal.

ANY NEPHILIM must've done that already in the past. Hence their massacre (apologies for the word but.... that's what happened & both Dante and Vergil have everything hinging on them, their the last 2 !!)

What I'm saying is, it's just convenient that it's just the two of them left.

I don't think Sparda and Eva even meant that they're anything special or the "Chosen Ones".

The way Eva explained why she and Sparda became together because at least, despite the forbidden laws, they freely chose to do so!

And that's the ongoing theme of DmC anyway: freedom through rebellion. Eva and Sparda's love and their want to meet their children, who are forbidden to exist because their higher-ups said so (because, yes, these kids are literally growing to become even more powerful than the forces of both heaven and hell [[and this is the best assumption of WHY they don't want the Nephilim existing, they don't want the power balance tipping over to a new 3rd party, and this is seen as a big problem because both angels and demons are having a war...what the war is even about, that i personally don't know... probably a moral debate that went extremely wrong, where now they want to apply their "morals" against one another, who knows...]]

... anyway their act of love and family, simply wanting their children, who are also a new race, to exist, is an act of rebellion. And they essentially want the new race of Nephilim to be free...

... which brings me to Vergil.

Because for some reason, he actually stands a bit antithetical to both his parents' stance. This became more evident in his dlc's ending.

It's no secret that Vergil actually sees the Nephilim as a race much more worthy than their predecessors, the angels and demons. And therefore, he makes a self-proclamation as a new ruler for being something more special.

Two things:

1. Someone special CAN lead. Someone who has leadership qualities can definitely lead. But not because of one's special circumstances suddenly and automatically equates that they should lead.

2. .... What the hell Vergil??!!? I think this is an ongoing issue among reboot fans anyway: what was it that made Vergil have this ideology?

With already the presumption that Ninja Theory was unable to shed anymore light to Vergil because a.) They're already not wanted by a hardcore audience, and Capcom was already seeing the temperature....so they had to pack their bags and leave.. and b.) The way they structured DmC was basically awaiting for a sequel (which will never happen). And it seems with the dlc being Vergil, the sequel likely was going to transition more to who Vergil was, and who he had become... Which will never happen😔

The best I can interpret is that, since he had been adopted into a human family with a much more well-off social status, perhaps this is where Vergil saw the unethical and depraved side of humanity, the ones who can afford to get away with anything.

So if he had more power and control over humanity, he'd essentially be controlling the richest and most powerful humans, and maybe make them benevolent or..you know, make them do other concepts about responsibly handling their power and resources.

... anyway uhh I guess Vergil's idea of a Chosen One is being the best elected royal of the world ?😌?? 😅

open to conversations because honestly, the 3 games I'm playing actually have similar themes about how to handle power so ehh

I love Devil May Cry men cause there's something hypermasculine and simultaneously wildly gay about them

DmC  - The Chronicles of Vergil

DmC-Reboot comic-scans

2 titlepages + 46 pages

the story takes place before the game

The scans aren’t as good as I thought they will be…but still readable :)

I want a priest to look at my non-believer ass and decide to make me his.

Like he'd look at the sigils and the things I wear but see the look in my eyes when I talk to him and know he has power over me.

When no one's around he'd take me by the chin and just give me a smug look. "A lost little lamb still craves the forbidden fruit, I see." He'd tease.

I want him to make be his disciple. Not to lead me to God, but to belong to him. He is the only God I need and no other shall come before him. Not even the mighty Lord above could take me from him.

Butcher's Vanity (Day 222)

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

The Intricacies of Demon Culture

(or a bunch of loosely based on DMC Canon headcannons and theories, take your pick)

Demons come in many different flavors, and the word 'demon' is essentially the same thing as saying 'rectangle; it is a broad category with smaller subsections within it.

Devils are inherently smarter and more powerful demons. The main way one can tell the difference between a lesser demon and a devil is the capability to speak a human language; devils often wish to at least interact with (kill) a human in their lifetime, so they go out of their way to be able to communicate. This is not always true, but it works as a good rule of thumb.

There are also artificial demons, but their classification is a little bit more broad then you would think. There are demon-made demons (Trish, Nightmare) and human-made demons (Lucia, all of the antagonists from DMC4) in this category, but this category also includes demons that do not naturally exist. Malphas is actually in this category due to her being a fusion of two separate demons (which was shown in Nico's notes)

Human blood is seen almost as a drug, as it gives demons power. However, non-devils tend to go crazy from too much, almost like an overdose. It is an issue in the demon world.

There are two main types of groups in demon culture: Family groups and Political groups.

Family groups function like extended families, with a priority on continuing the family line. Demons like Empusa fall into this category, with their priority on collecting blood and serving the queen, who furthers the line.

Political groups are when different species or multiple families group together for some reason. Mundus' army is a great example of this, but another great example are the Cerberus devils. They are referred to as a 'tribe' not a pack, so there must be multiple families within said tribe. The existence of a King Cerberus also implies some sort of political hierarchy, most likely based on power and age.

There are also groups of demons who merge these two categories, where different species co-exist in a family setting. The Cerberus tribe is another example of this, as KC refers to the Cerberus from 3 as 'kin' despite them looking nothing alike.

The Spardas are officially option 3 due to their already mixed heritage and the amount of different 'beings' they hang out with. Two artificial demons, 3 full blooded humans, the descendent of a demon summoner, and Kyrie, who Nero would say deserves her own category.

Everything with demons is physical. They disagree you? Be ready for a fight. They hate you? Be prepare for them to kill you. They do like you? They are still gonna fight you, but at least they aren't actively trying to take off limbs.

Sibling demons are known to fight constantly, both to shown superiority, and, in more close-knit demon families, to help each other become stronger.

I'll post about RE soon. 😭

"man she's posting a lot about Trigun, has she forgotten DMC?" you fools. you think i'd ever forget? Dante, Vergil, and Nero hold my brain hostage, they havent left since 2019

"The saturation of your presence used to cause irritation--now I know true agony is watching your color leave."

It's officially V's bday(May 1st)! Happy birthday, my poetic emo goth king! 💜🎂🎉

dan giving us a demonstration of vergil's flirting skills (sound on)

smash.

Drawing ganlink is very challenging cuz u have to overcome the mind bending trials of making their height difference work just to even make them kiss

It’s finished!

I’m proud of this 😭 there’s still some issues with timing and I should have made Link dancing a bit longer because it goes a bit too fast. However I learned a lot just from this! Storyboarding power up!

Also this would follow up with a conversation that Urbosa would initiate with Zelda about her “handmaid” being great with adapting to Gerudo culture. Then Zelda immediately going into a story of how Link ate rocks and took on challenges to impress the Goron. Meanwhile Ganon listens with one ear while he dies on the inside at being caught ogling.
