My Need To Draw Stupid DMC Shit Lately Has Been…a Mood

Two kinds of guy.

my biggest hope for the new Devil May Cry anime is that it doesn't lose what makes DMC so cool, which is the sheer brazen uncoolness of its characters.

Dante is a middle-aged man who is semi-unemployed and constantly late on rent because his shop is in the middle of nowhere and nobody knows what he does. every time he gets a job he destroys two houses because he can't help showing off to absolutely no one. he loves his mom, pizza, and strawberry sundaes. he doesn't smoke. he doesn't drink. he doesn't curse. his place of business is decorated with posters of scantily-clad women but as far as we're aware, he has never had sex.

Vergil is Dante's older twin by a couple hours whose superiority complex originates in how he's Dante's older twin by a couple hours. he spent his childhood reading William Blake poetry but doesn't understand it. he runs around with just a katana because he considers guns to be "cowardly." he has only had sex once in his entire life. this resulted in him becoming a deadbeat dad, but not even the archetypical "cool" kind because he is somehow convinced that Nero is Dante's kid. we have actual in-canon confirmation that if he wasn't part demon, he would be a melodramatic pretentious poetry-obsessed twink. Vergil abandons his pursuit of power not jusf for the sake of Nero but because Nero is his power realized - his legacy - the ability to protect loved ones without killing them. he loves Nero but will never under any circumstances admit it because he has the emotional maturity of a 12-year-old. instead he throws a journal of William Blake poems at him and jumps off a cliff.

compared to the rest of his living family, Nero is thriving. he has a job, a house, a wife, and several foster kids. when a suspicious hobo shows up on his doorstep he invites him in for dinner. he thinks Dante is his dad. Dante knows Nero is his brother's kid because he has never had sex. Nero is viewed by Dante as an incompetent child who needs guidance and protection despite Nero being a grown adult and being more mature than Dante and Vergil in every way and yet neither of them will ever acknowledge this. when Nero hears about Dante and Vergil's battle-to-the-death rivalry he decides it's stupid and shoves them apart like they're two kids in a playground brawl. he's the dad now. fuck you.

🍵Hi, I'm Maeve -> aka @maeveandark (18+ blog)

🍵About me: my main hobbies are writing, reading, collecting figures/merch and playing video games when I have the time. I’m an introverted person and I prefer to keep to myself for the most part. I work full time and I'm often busy scurrying about, so I can't always update consistently, but I am passionate about writing and want to keep practicing when I can.

🍵What to expect: this is my personal blog dedicated to my interests and hobbies. While I enjoy a variety of different series, this blog isn't dedicated to any fandom in particular, so you will see a variety. Primarily though, it's a cozy little spot for me to relax, be a little silly, post my writing, blab about my thoughts, and have fun.

🍵What I write: I write for a variety of genres. Romance, angst, erotica, horror, psychological thrillers and wholesome domestic/slice of life works to name a few. I write both original works and fanfiction. Please note that all my 18+ writings are posted on @maeveandark.

🍵Blog Rules: ->Do not take my writing and claim it as your own ->Do not repost my writing anywhere ->Do not edit or translate my work ->Do not send me requests

NO WAR MAKE LOVE

Care for a drink?

Wow. Nintendo's greed truly knows no bounds.

To be fair though, most video game companies have been flushing consumer friendliness and accessibility to their games (both past and present) down the toilet for years now. And let me tell you, nothing takes the wind out of my sails more than these gaming companies that want to bleed you absolutely dry just for a base (and sometimes even limited) experience of their games. Shame on the lot of them.

It's fun to think about how the townspeople would interact with Caldarus ~

I am so normal about him your honor, i swear.

He is so pretty :)
