dmc crew dating a vampire 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪
devil may cry x reader
┊ ˚➶ notes 。˚ 🎼
this was actually my first request on this blog!! i don’t know why i put it off for so long bc it’s literally so cool?? i ended up just doing a vampire instead of witch/vampire witch so i hope you guys enjoy considering my phone crashed trying to copy n paste this from my notes to tumblr 💋
┊ ˚➶ warnings 。˚ 🎼
blood (but in the vampire way ykyk), fangs and mentions of sharp teeth, intended lowercase, kinda spoilers for dmc5 in v’s,
. ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ . ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ . ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ . ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄
. ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ 𝓓ANTE — 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪
Tumblr media
❥ you are literally so hot in DANTE’s eyes, you could honestly do no wrong.
❥ i think you guys already know what i’m gonna say..
❥ if you feed on blood or need it for some sort of sustenance, dante will gladly volunteer. he thinks it’s the hottest thing ever.
❥ although, i’m not sure if vampires much like demon blood..
❥ eh, oh well. dante will still think it’s attractive, especially if you have fangs or some sort of sharper canines.
❥ only downside to being a vampire and dating dante is that you’ll occasionally hear a super bad transylvanian accent. like.. really bad.
❥ but!! if you’re also a demon hunter like him— and you have some cool freaky powers like draining blood or energy from empusas or really just any ability that’s useful, it’s heart eyes all around from him.
❥ you could be covered in blood or feasting on something and then you’ll spot dante in the corner wielding devil sword dante after defeating like seventy fuckin other demons and he’s just.. mesmerized.
。゚•┈୨♡୧┈ 。゚
. ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ 𝓥ERGIL — 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪
Tumblr media
❥ VERGIL’s much more curious about your species. do you have any weaknesses? are the fictionalized versions of your kind portrayed accurately? what are you exactly?
❥ luckily he’s a lot more quiet about his curiosity compared to, maybe— nico. his staring is intimidating, though. when he sits with you or near you, he’ll usually just study you. maybe it looks like he’s judging but he’s really just analyzing your appearance. especially if you have any distinctive features.
❥ if you have that dark ruddy aesthetic, he’ll likely admire from afar even if red isn’t exactly his favorite color.
❥ if you really needed it, he’d let you feed off of him although it’s definitely not his first choice. he’s not really a fan of being bitten, especially if you need to bite his neck or something like that.
❥ probably finds some esoteric artistic poem or painting with an underlying meaning of having to do with vampires and thinks of you every time he looks at it.
❥ his gothic poetic side is showing
❥ ugh i just wanna kiss his scowl so bad but i also wanna punch him.
。゚•┈୨♡୧┈ 。゚
. ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ 𝓝ERO — 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪
Tumblr media
❥ nero literally thinks it’s so cool.
❥ he might be a little wary once he first meets you? like are you gonna tackle him rn and sacrifice him with your own lil blood ritual?
❥ but once he finds out you’re docile or that you pick and choose on whom you feed on, he’s like, “oh okay that’s cool”
❥ probably like dante where the only version he knows of vampires are the hollywood adaptations of them. so like.. he’s confused if you can go into sunlight? or you can eat certain foods? or if you can go near churches??
❥ he, too, thinks you’re super hot. however!! very iffy about you drinking blood or feeding in front of him. not like it grosses him out but it’s kinda.. weird to watch for him?? idk.
❥ another thing is that he doesn’t want you biting him at all. he’s like vergil where he’ll be baffled if you even ask, except he’s super hesitant to offer himself unless you’re super injured and in dire need of it.
❥ just step on him to shut him up atp
。゚•┈୨♡୧┈ 。゚
. ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ 𝓥 — 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪
Tumblr media
❥ V’s goth ass won’t shut up about how divine your species is and how fascinating he finds you.
❥ curious on your feeding habits and what you essentially need to survive, tries to find any and every book that he can about vampires so he can learn about you even more.
❥ he’s like those people who romanticize the 1800s or the salem witch trials or greece or ethel cain or lana del rey while kicking their feet and posting about it. he will find a way to make the situation poetic, trust me.
❥ finds it amusing if you’re annoyed by griffon’s teasing and threaten to eat him first if you were to ever go rogue, you might even be able to get a close mouthed chuckle out of v.
❥ utterly fascinated by just your very being, even if it’s just mundane traits. especially loves to see your fangs, dunno why but they’re just aesthetically pleasing to him.
❥ considering he’s kinda like a deteriorating human that’s basically turning into a husk, i wouldn’t recommend feeding on him unless you plan to kill him—which who would wanna murder our emo bae right here? (capcom)
❥ the type of person to roll his eyes at false folklore and representation because he’s literally in love with an actual vampire?? how dare they portray you like this??
。゚•┈୨♡୧┈ 。゚
. ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ 𝓛ADY — 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪
Tumblr media
❥ LADY also finds you super hot!!
❥ also interested because she’s probably never seen a vampire outside of media— so it’s a nice change of pace rather than being face to face with demons all day.
❥ despite all this, after the initial introduction, i’m not sure she’d care too hard? like— sure, you’re considered a supernatural being and all that.
❥ and although she thinks it’s super dope, i feel like it wouldn’t matter as much to her. she’s seen and done a lot of things at such a young age, i feel as though she’s almost desensitized?
❥ she’s so badass she can’t even care. she’s literally respected by dante, whom is titled ‘the legendary devil hunter’. (dmc5 did her dirty with her lack of part in the storyline 💔)
❥ she’ll respect any of your needs, and ngl also thinks you biting into her neck is hot.
❥ kinda surprised that you’re able to go out into sunlight even if she’ll never tell you that 😭
。゚•┈୨♡୧┈ 。゚
. ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ 𝓣RISH — 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪
Tumblr media
❥ another one who doesn’t care that much. it’s not like TRISH is dismissive of your species and where you come from, but she’s literally a full on demon who’s probably seen everything.
❥ you guys r so hot though, like the ultimate power couple.
❥ oh, and if you’re a devil hunter, too? you guys r gonna kick sm ass together. she’ll invite you to roll around with her for a while rather than with dante, although if you’re associated with devil may cry then that’s fine too. she’ll put up with dante’s ass just to visit you more often.
❥ i don’t recommend feeding off of trish?
❥ idk how vampires take to drinking demon blood
❥ but shit, if you have that red aesthetic and are just a total femme fatale (or other gender equivalent to that), trish is in charge of your outfits now.
❥ don’t even fight it, you will end up in the outfit regardless.
。゚•┈୨♡୧┈ 。゚
. ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ 𝓝ICO — 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪
Tumblr media
❥ oh boy
❥ if you’re lucky enough to survive the first meeting with NICO and you end up actually being in a relationship? you are def a trooper.
❥ when you’re first introduced, she bombards you with questions.
❥ where did you come from? do you have powers? are you like a demon and are there more of you? if so, can she harvest parts for a new bio-weapon? do vampires reproduce the same as humans? are you gonna suck her blood??
❥ she’s just a curious lady cut my girl some slack
❥ she thinks you’re so cool though!! wants you to tell her everything you know about vampires so she can log it. even if you’ve been in a long term relationship, she still can’t help but ask more questions.
❥ but!! as cool and hot as she thinks you are— like nero, she does not wanna see you feed and does not wanna be fed on!! (except.. maybe just one time to see how it feels.)
❥ ugh she just loves you sm please indulge her

everything is blue
you're vergil's "something blue."
cw; lingerie mention, established relationship, canon compliant, vergil is a cat, somewhat needy vergil, this is not a full fic just something i thought of earlier, powder blue is such a good color, sex mentioned but not described, i love 40 year olds (vergil is 43)
a/n; dear god the dmc brain rot has started... fear not! i will still be a resident evil account, just with some... extras here and there. btw i finished 3 & 1 in two days... tryhard who? i might make a dante version of this too! this will officially be my vergil divider i think!
Tumblr media
blue. that's what reminds you of vergil- blue. deep, navy blue. sometimes a shade of indigo. if you asked him, he'd tell you that associating someone with a color is odd and something he would never do. it's silly, he'd insist, and not something he really cares for.
or so he says.
unbeknownst to you, he's decided that you are light blue. specifically powder blue, not quite baby blue, and not exactly periwinkle- powder blue.
whenever he buys you something, it's always that exact shade. you don't notice until lady points it out to you one day, after you've told her about something vergil has, once again, bought for you (an irresponsible spender, it seems, but he'd give the world for you.)
"that sounds cute," she says, leaning into the old couch cushions behind her back. the entire damned piece of furniture is old, so it's no surprise that she inadvertently sinks into your side.
"yeah, it is." you nod, leaning into her, too.
"what color?"
"blue. like a baby blue, sort of." you say and she hums.
"weird," she comments.
"why is that weird?"
"he always buys you blue stuff. like he's claiming you with a color or something." she shrugs, which moves your shoulder, too.
"huh…" everything vergil has ever gotten you- lingerie, skirts, shirts, little charms for your lanyard, the lanyard itself, bracelets with aquamarine, even some earrings with the same stone. when you ask him what color to get on your nails, he always says the same color- powder blue. you wonder if it's his way of staking a claim. he's never been outright possessive, never told you to your face that you belong to him or that you're his in every single way, inside and out.
truthfully, you'd never thought he was wired that way. maybe it's a demon thing, and part of you wants to assume it is, but it's not like you're dumb. you've dated other men before vergil, much to his dismay, and you know how they can be. maybe, when indulging in sins of the flesh, he's not so different. his touches are never less than gentle, especially when it came to the early stages of your relationship. they were very chaste, then, never below the belt until you told him you were ready. he was gentle, then, too.
he's extra affectionate when you're actually wearing the blue things he gave you- maybe one of the skirts he bought you, or the thigh-highs he nervously gave you to wear, too. even the jewelry has him touchy. like a cat, he'd press himself against your side, one hand on your thigh, thumbing the hem of your skirt somewhat obsessively as you pay attention to your phone instead of him, still holding his arm. his stormy grey eyes would be a little more blue, his pupils dilated some. pouty lips would find your cheek, your temple, your hair, anything to get you to pay attention to him without him needing to ask. maybe your theory was right.
not to mention the one day you wore red to work, he looked like somebody stomped on his heart. to anyone else, the crease between his brows was the same, the pout his lips were always in didn't change, but to you, he was sulking majorly. realistically, he knew he didn't control you, but some darker, inner parts
it's not his fault. ever since you two began dating, he'd had this obsession with seeing you decked out in his color, even though he knew it was silly.

Hello! Can I request general NSFW headcanons for DMC boys? Anything you think is worth mentioning. Thank youuu ^^
Hello anon! I forgot to say that I don't write NSFW for Nero so I hope it doesn't matter 🖤 I added Dante, Vergil and V, gender neutral :) I wrote this really fast but I hope you enjoy it
General NSFW headcanons for the DMC boys:
Tumblr media
Vergil:
• He's so touch and love starved and we all know the last time he fucked was as he quoted "a long time ago" but oh boy he surely knows what he's doing.
• He's really gentle and worries a lot about not hurting you, you have to tell him that he doesn't need to worry so much but he's really stubborn.
• He likes you to be on top of him while he's lying in bed or sitting in his couch.
• Loves to kiss your neck while he's fuckin you and occasionally bites you.
• If you want to dominate him he'll refuse at first but actually enjoys a lot
• If you both haven't had sex in a while he's going to be really wild next time you do it so be prepared, he feels sorry afterwards but you honestly didn't know what he was apologizing for... You freaking love to see him go wild with you.
• He really likes to receive a hand or blow job before having sex with you.
• Aftercare with him is like heaven on earth, gives you a bubblebath, your favourite snacks and takes a nap or sleeps with you while he showers you in kisses telling you how much he loves you.
Tumblr media
Dante:
• A lot of words but gets nervous when the action actually arrives.
• He's really playful, whatever you want is fine for him, top, bottom, submissive, dominant? Whatever you want baby your big boy is at your service.
• I feel like his favourite position is definitely doggy (yes for him as well) also probably the 69.
• He likes you to bite him, scratch him and pull his hair, oh you can see his sassy smile while your pulling his hair he loves it and you do as well.
• But don't get me wrong he's also really gentle with you, he doesn't have the strength of a human so he worries he may be too harsh on you.
• You can expect some jokes while you both fuck
• Loves a good blowjob but prefers to eat you instead, maybe is because of his demon side but he adores to taste you.
• Expect a lot of compliments as well, he's definitely into body worshiping.
• Aftercare with him is great as well, a bath together (that might end up in another round of sex or making out) and playing your favourite movies/shows in the couch cuddling eating popcorn til you both fall asleep.
Tumblr media
V:
• Let's go with our favourite gothic boy, a lot of mixed feelings here, the true definition about "how's he so fuckin hot and respectful"
• He likes yo tease you, like a lot but not in a hurtful way (unless you were into that then is another story)
• He's really playful and a little bit into pain but really gentle as well, he doesn't have to worry about demonic strength like Vergil but still worries about you getting hurt or being uncomfortable.
• Loves to lick and kiss your neck, nipples, thighs and low stomach.
• Into mutual masturbation, he loves to see you shiver as he gives you pleasure you just look so cute to him that way.
• He doesn't have any preferences for positions but really likes to fuck you while you lay down in bed and he's on top.
• Constantly asks you if your comfortable and you're enjoying it.
• Aftercare involves a lot of hugs and kisses, telling you how cute you were in bed, a bath together and then he reads you his book til you fall asleep resting your head in his lap as he pets your hair.

i just. sometimes i think back about devil may cry again. and. damn. like dante and vergil barely got to be actual children, vergil's obsession with power comes from his insecurity about being supposedly unable to save his mum and dante and. they were so young, they should've been able to play around as kids and enjoy their childhood. the fact that both of them just. lost their parents so quickly and had to find their ways in this godforsaken world alone.
it's so interesting to me how dante uses his taunts to like. lower his anxiety. he runs through fights making jokes because he's always scared. and i'd go as far as saying that on the other hand, vergil is just scared for his brother. the whole "im better than you" thing? it's always read (to me) as "i gotta make you strong enough but also i gotta unlock all my power so i can protect everything i love" but just gone too far. like he's taken it really to an extreme, obviously, but i do think it started out as genuine fear that he wasn't enough. these men for real just need therapy. all of them need therapy someone get the dmc gang THERAPY.
OH. AND ANOTHER THING. THAT FINAL FUCKING FIGHT IN DMC3 BETWEEN VERGIL AND DANTE. i like to think it's always been dante trying to bring vergil back from "POWER". like the "we are the sons of sparda" part is very much a "fucking wake up and look around you can do so much better" and vergil is so far gone that genuinely his response is "our souls are at opposites, brother. i need more power." which is such a personality defining statement from him. But the part that hurts most? When Vergil cuts Dante's hand on his way down to hell. He reaches out for his brother.
AND OOH. BEFORE I FORGET. lady saying to nero (not an exact quote bc i cannoooooot remember it) "you'll never be able to recover from killing your dad don't do it" isn't just a "no dont do it nero". DMC3. SHE'S SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE. she knows what it's like to be in neros place on dmc5, and. i just feel like sometimes we look over lady and her past. she went through so much too, like imagine being like 16/17 (?) and having your dad be like "yeah holup lemme go open the gate to hell come here daughter lemme k word you so i can open the gate to hell" and have to actually go out and stop him. and like i guess even with dante and vergil there's an element of "oh they're half demon they. kinda. expect this shit in their lives" LADY ISN'T. she's 100% human and has been through so much.
and like when that's put in perspective, it really makes me enjoy the games more. like, growing up playing the games it was all "wahoo haha pizza haha motivated haha gun-trick-sword-trick-gun-trick" and now it's all "man. more of my favourite characters are just. traumatised people who have really gone through the worst shit ever."
anyway. ro lore dumps about devil may cry again. maybe if i get time mid coursework i'll add more lmao we'll see 😔
But yeah. Sometimes even a Devil May Cry. Ouch.

Your dmc headcanons are awesome! Are you familiar with Star Wars? If so can you do all four of the dmc boys with a Jedi s/o? They have the power of the force, a cool lightsaber, and wears those cool Jedi robes, perhaps even have a cool spaceship they use when they need to travel back to space, it’s up to you.
Thank you 💜 While I'm not a star wars fan, I know quite a bit about Jedi. Here you go, and hope you enjoy!
Sparda boys + V x Jedi!Reader headcannons
¤ Dante ¤
-Dante loses it entirely upon discovering you're a Jedi. No, he doesn't know what that is, but you have telekinesis (kinda)!? And a long glory sword?! And a spaceship?! It's so freaking cool!
-Begs you to teach him how to use the Force--he wants to be able to hit Vergil with various objects from across the room.
-Is really, really interested in your lightsaber too, like a little kid messing around with tool's he's never seen before.
-Wants to spar with you all day, every day, so he can see your cool Jedi powers in action. We're talking epic sword fights, scenarios where you deflect his bullets with The Force, and generally horsing around and being goofy, cause that's what he's like.
-If you take him with you on trips in your spaceship, he's gonna be so impressed. He could spend hours just wandering around, touching and looking at all the weird yet awesome stuff you've got in there. He thinks it's so badass.
-If, however, you must leave for deep space without him, Dante will understand. He'll spend his time training so he can fight you when you get back--he might also try to teach himself to use the force by meditating, lifting up rocks, and the like. He does have potential, who knows, he might even get it someday.
■ Vergil ■
-He doesn't care much about your spaceship or your boring robes, but the Force? Now that, that is power.
-Vergil needs power. You will teach him The Force, regardless of whether or not he actually has Jedi potential, otherwise you will suffer the rage of the Motivated One.
-He likes your lightsaber, too, but he'll never admit it. The bright neon colors command his attention akin to the way a laser pointer commands that of a small and furry cat.
-Sometimes when you're in the shower or busy with something non-Jedi related, he will borrow your lightsaber, take it out to the backyard, swing it around a few times and revel in its awesomeness.
-He likes the look of your spaceship, but not riding in it. Poor Vergil gets motion sickness from traveling through hyperspace.
-When you leave for deep space missions (if such a thing ever arises) Vergil will miss you terribly and deign to distract himself by putting on one of your spare robes and taking a nap in it. Don't judge him, it's calming.
□ Nero □
-Thinks your lightsaber is badass as hell and wants Nico to figure out how to integrate one into his arm so he can have a lightsaber hand or something like that.
-The Force is also really interesting because he can ask you to grab him something and it will come literally floating towards him. A couple times it even hits him in the face
-Will definitely use your powers to play tricks on Dante, Nico, and pretty much everyone else he knows, tricking them into thinking there's a ghost haunting his house, when in actuality, it's just you and your Jedi tricks.
-Doesn't care much for your spaceship, unfortunately, and won't ride in it unless you make him. He doesn't like air travel in general, let alone a massive spaceship that goes faster than speed of light.
-When you leave for deep space, as you often have to do, Nero will continue to call and/or text you. He doesn't care if outer space has no internet, he WILL check on you at least once a day.
-Regarding your cool Jedi robes, it's safe to say Nero has exactly one use for them: using them as a blanket.
● V ●
-The Force is an incredible ally to the two of you, and not just for fighting. Now, V has a way to get around with having you physically carry him; he can be moved with the Force.
-Considering that V has the makings of a Jedi himself (or maybe a Sith *cough* Kylo Ren *cough*) it's no surprise he shows interest in your pretty lightsaber.
-He likes the colors and the sounds, so much so that he decided to write a poem about it and put said poem on the refrigerator.
-He likes to watch you train too, wishing he had the strength to wield such a powerful weapon and such interesting abilities. However, his cane will do.
-He likes to wander around your spaceship, if he has time and you will allow him to. He may also join you on your travels, though most of the time he just stays in the ship and looks out the window because he isn't physically capable of traveling across unknown planets.
-Unfortunately, sometimes you have to leave by yourself, and when that happen, V will spend his time writing melancholy poems about you, listening to sad music, and generally being emo until you return. Then and only then will he smile again.

Hi I really love ur Dante fics, in just my humble opinion you got his goofy ass character right.
I'm gonna take advantage that ur request is open heehehe can you do Dante x sorcerer reader she's one of the strongest in their generation. I think it's kinda cute Dante with his demon hunting stuff and Reader with her witchy stuff. Couple goals✨ Also she made contract with strong demons to fight for her. Plus she kinda have no mercy if an individual gets on her nerves (I'm taking about making them vomit slugs or disfigured their faces with magic or transform their body into a bug and imprisoned it inside a jar IM GANNA STOP I'VE BEEN WATCHING HARRY POTTER TOO MUCH)
The whole DMC crew is probably relief that reader is on their side and not on the enemies
𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐚 ; “𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧”
Tumblr media
thank you so much!! also i'm really sorry it took this long to post it... also if thats not an issue i included a name for a demonic companion of yours
dante sparda x gn!sorcerer!reader
warnings ; reader is reffered to as a witch what could suggest they're female but other than that gender is not mentioned
Tumblr media
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ i feel like you two would start on bad terms. this has potential for some good enemies to lovers trope but in a business way. dante has his own demon hunting shtick but one day he gets informed of a rising competition and it's not the best news for someone on a tight budget.
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ definitely met you on one of the jobs. probably wasn't even his job but yours. he just couldn't help himself. not everyday you get to hear about another demon hunter in the game.
as you explored deeper into the abandoned werehouse you could feel another demon-like presence. at first it didn't bother you, probably some another wild creature that escaped the limbo of hell. but step after step the air around started to get heavy and warm. something that usually does not happen on the job.
when you enter the next room you find the culprit. a man in a long red jacket, tangled white hair, holding a sword on his shoulders. but wait... the sword... it looks familiar. "what is a sparda son doing here of all places?" you said as you walk in the mans direction.
as on cue the man in quetion turned to you holding up his sword up to your chin. "let's call it... a business meeting. wanted to discuss some things with you sweetheart."
you could clearly hear the mocking undertone of his statement.
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ things would only get worse from that point on. he would intrude on your assignments and you would "accidentally" send out your beloved pet (if you could call it that) to rough him up. not actually hurt him but just to give him a challenge.
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ he once called you a "witch starting with a b" and even after you two got together you did not forgive him.
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ as powerfull as you are you have nothing on dante. which one time resulted in him saving your ass. you wanted to be mad or even just angry about the fact he interrupted your job again but if he really didn't want competition why would he save you? that day brought you more questions than answers.
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ you don't know when or where it started but at some point both of you started helping eachother out on jobs. and before you know it. boom. you start working together.
to say the crew was bewildered when dante brought an unfamiliar face through the door would be an understatement. they were suspicious and on guard. the first one to speak up was the tall blonde in black leather attire “who is this.” it was more of a demand than a question.
“this, ladies and gent’s is the new addition to our lovely team. don’t worry they won’t bite. i think.”
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ on the first few assignments nico, lady, trish and nero were all cautious with you. as in they barerly spoke to you no matter the circumstances. they only opened their mouths to give directions on where to go next.
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ for some time the only people (not really people but yk) you could confine in were dante and your loyall companion - abaddon*. but they both sent you off with a "give them time." so you did.
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ when this time around you saved dante they started to warm up to you and to abaddon.
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ ok enough of that. let's focus on you and dante now. when he first started to feel something he literally thought you put some kind of love potion or spell on him. obviously you did not but let a man dream ig?
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ abaddon would be your wingman from now on. constantly shoving you into dante or putting both of you in compromising positions. one time he even pretended to fall asleep in front of a door and locked you in the dmc van.
"i'm really sorry for him. i don't know what's going on with him recently." you said with your head in your hands while on the verge of a breakdown. this was not the situation you wanted to be in and you expected dante to not be enthusiastic about the ordeal either. to your surprise...
"don't sweat it. i actually don't mind being stuck here with a pretty demon whistler." you don't know what struck your attention more the i don't mind part, the pretty part or the demon whistler part.
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ that day a lot of confessions were made. both of you talked about your story of how you ended up in the business and well the confession you never expected.
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ two words. power couple. when you work it's like you're reading eachothers mind.
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ he had a lot of questions. if you work with demons and he's technically part demon does that mean you could like order him around and stuff? and trust me the questions do not end. every day he comes up with like 20 more.
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ once asked you if you could bake an infinite pizza and his argument was that "well you're technically a witch so you know spells and stuff? i don't see why that would be impossible?"
Tumblr media
*The Hebrew term Abaddon (Hebrew: אֲבַדּוֹן ’Ăḇaddōn, meaning "destruction", "doom"), and its Greek equivalent Apollyon (Koinē Greek: Ἀπολλύων, Apollúōn meaning "Destroyer") appear in the Bible as both a place of destruction and an angel of the abyss. In the Hebrew Bible, abaddon is used with reference to a bottomless pit, often appearing alongside the place Sheol (שְׁאוֹל Šəʾōl), meaning the resting place of dead peoples. (in the story he's like v's shadow but you can choose how he looks)

The more I think about it the more I realize an actual Fate hack and slash game (as opposed to a musou) just isn't feasible. Samurai Remnant's combat is the closest we're ever going to get, and it's just a musou with extra bells and whistles.
The issue is scale. Fate games are all about the servants, you gotta put as many of them as you can fit into a title and make as many of them playable as possible because they're the stars. But that isn't feasible for an action game in the vein of DMC or Bayonetta (which would also have bigger budgets than a Type-Moon game), because you need each playable character to have elaborate movesets with multi-layered depth and incredible precision, and you need to balance them all against each other.
This is impossible for a Fate game with many playable servants at once. Samurai Remnant does its best to give Iori depth by giving him 5 styles (that don't really have much depth to each tbh), but the servants themselves have a limit of 5 normal attacks with a different finisher for each of them, 3 specials, and a screen clear noble phantasm (which all work the exact same way but just have different animations). It's the most they can manage. Sometimes servants have gimmicks like Rogue Berserker having super armor and grabs or Rogue Caster having debuffs to try to differentiate them, but we don't get to play them for long to hide that they still have very limited (if powerful) movesets.
Making a more complex action game with that many characters would be impossible. Just look at DMC4, which had a rushed development time. Even with the DMC team's mastery of designing combat, the game had an obvious flaw: Dante's sections weren't properly balanced. Even if Dante's moveset was great as usual, the enemies were clearly designed around being fought by newcomer Nero, and players had less fun fighting them as Dante even if he was still literally Dante, just because of the incompatibility.
A LOT more work went into balancing DMC5 because of it and its 3 (and then 4) playable characters so that they could fight any enemy and still be fun, but you could STILL somewhat tell when some enemies were designed for specific characters. For example, try fighting Cavaliere Angelo as Nero and seeing that the boss moves like it's expecting Dante with his teleports, so Nero has to do a lot of running around that breaks the pace of the bossfight.
As fun as it sounds to play a servant and then juggle the enemy for 50 hits, it's just too wide a scope. The only feasible way would be to limit the amount of playable characters and keep most servants as NPCs.
Personally I wouldn't mind it. I'd prefer it even. My ideal version of Samurai Remnant would be only Iori as a playable character and switching control to Saber as the devil trigger (Saber Trigger lol) where Iori would have a real moveset within his 5 styles and be able to fight in the air so jumping isn't just to dodge groundslams. The Rogue Servants would all act like Rogue Rider: a summon that either does a special move (like the special spells Rogue Berserker, Rogue Saber, and Rogue Lancer give) or gives buffs to Iori. The servants will mainly serve to be bossfights (which were already actually quite good in FSR).
But I know that wouldn't be a Fate game at all, just a hack and slash set inside a Fate setting. It admittedly wouldn't appeal to anybody except me.
And that's why a hack and slash game by Type-Moon ought to be set in Kara No Kyoukai instead.
Give me Shiki with Raiden's cut anything and everything Blade Mode from MGR. Or make the sword combat be like Sekiro. It would be so cool.

You're My Weakness
Vergil x Male!Reader
Vergil never could get over you.
Even when he tried to, he could never let go of you.
Nero brought you home and it was over for the older man since.
You'd "adopted" Nero during the time of Vergil searching for power. The boy has seen you more as a father figure than his actual father and has clung onto you since meeting.
The day he brought you home to DMC was on minor accident. He let it slip that he had to stop by the building for business and you insisted on coming with to meet this family of his.
Originally, Vergil wasn't too fond of there being an outside male in his space. You were competition for Nero's attention, even though the man didn't make himself a worthy option to begin with.
However, after seeing the relationship between you and Nero, he realized instead of being competition, you were an equal. A respected partner. A proper mate. Thus began the mans stupid attempts to become close to you.
Nero was the first of course, to notice this. He became very suspicious of his father, noticing the light (and terrible) flirting going on. He'd never seen his father try to talk to someone so much, it almost disturbed him. He almost lost it on the day he overheard you saying yes to a date with his father.
"You're father is quite a charmer," you say. Nero looks like he might vomit. "Nope. I don't wanna hear about it." You chuckle, ruffling the boys hair. "He's a good man Nero, give him this at least."
Vergil was pacing. He was pacing and sweating up a storm. Dante found it amusing. Vergil found it annoying.
Never in his life had Vergil been this calm and nervous at the same time. He's never had someone make him so weak yet so strong. You'd become his weakness.
Once coming to terms with how he felt for you, he didn't want you to see just how damaged he was. How much bad he'd done before finding himself. He didn't want you to see who he was and walk away.
"I'm not a good person." "I think you are." Vergil chuckles. "Maybe that's were you are blind." You smile. "If so, I don't want to see." Vergil stared into your eyes for a moment, a smile slowly appearing.
Domestic life was not on his mind before. Now, it was all he did. Man's was happy to come home, go straight to the kitchen where he knew you were cooking dinner, and kiss his husband hello. Man's was happy to wake up and get kissed good morning on lazy Sundays.
Nero almost hated it. But he also couldn't help but smile at seeing his father's being happy. He does take every chance he gets to tease and make fun of the two of you though.
"Ew, gross!" Nero yells. Vergil rolls his eyes as you chuckle at your son. "Dante they're doing it again!" he continues. Dante chuckles. He takes a moment to look over at you and Vergil cuddled up on the couch before turning back to his nephew. "You'll live Nero." Nero lets out a dramatic groan. He looks over and smiles at you, his face lit up like a small child. He begins to pester Dante about going out for a training session until the Devil Hunter agrees and the two go out back. "Your son is a handful," Vergil says once they've left. "Well he is your son," you reply. Vergil raises an eyebrow to your comment, moving a little to look at your face. You smile, kissing him to distract him from your teasing.
There were days where Vergil would come home in a panic. Threats from enemies he could easily defeated would send the man into a flurry, racing home to make sure you were still there and unharmed. He will hold onto you a little longer those days.
How the demon world learned of his new relationship (calling him a traitor like his father) he would not know, but it gave him a new reason for wanting to tear the lesser demons apart.
He'll be dammed if one of them got within a centimeter of you. Makes you almost feel bad for the poor demon that decided to test that man. Almost. Because let's be honest, watching Vergil fight is kinda hot.
You are Vergil's weakness.
You would always be his weakness.
But he'd fight for you every day he got to spend with you.
Vergil would never be able to get over you and honestly, he's ok with that.
Because there is nothing better in this world than getting to see you, be with you and love you.
Because what could be better than you? Nothing.

DMC Questions Anon here!
How would things go in a scenario where the twins weren't separated after the fire? How would the story we know go in this world? How would their characters be here? What about their dynamic?
Feel free to do this as Dante was still inside the house while Vergil was outside, they were both inside, they were both outside, or any idea you can think of for how this could go. Feel free to tackle multiple variations of this scenario.
Hi Ember, thank you for the ask!
I swear I had already written a post or reblog about this....I'll link it here if I ever find it again.
I'll answer the main question in short - I think if twins found each other after the fire, they would have been much better off in every way possible. First off, they would have each other for support against this horrible trauma, which would already like, eliminate at least 30% of canon twins issues. It won't all be smooth - I can see Vergil trying to take a more assertive/responsible role, as his mother taught him, and Dante buckling against that plus not being treated seriously, which would result in him doing something unbelievably stupid, but over all, I am sure the twins would handle everything afterwards just fine. They would probably be hunted, perhaps the demons would even find them faster than on their own, since there's now double the scent to follow, but nothing stands against Twin Sons of Sparda. They'll probably follow Vergil's idea in dmc3 and try to get their revenge on Mundus, hopefully this time their minds put together could figure a les bloody way for a hell-bound portal.
As a bonus, since this is uncharacteristically short, I do wanna tackle a scenario where V(ergil) reveals his cards to Dante, or Dante is not as blindsided to make use of his high perception skills and figure the puzzle out himself.
It would start out with an obligatory and very forceful hug, as it should with these idiots.
After that - they're probably going to lose their minds about Nero's health in the weeks of Urizen's absence. They'll probably sideline the discussion of Nero for their mutual benefit (Vergil is secretly offended Dante didn't keep Yamato for himself and passed it to Someone Else, still there would be immediate adoration of Nero, Dante does Not want to handle the fallout of his five years of lies from both Vergil and Nero) and try to brainstorm any solutions they can (most of them are hopeless, but perhaps something could stabilise Vergil's current state and win him some time.
(oh also they find actual clothing for Vergil)
Now, even with all the preparation, I don't think the Urizen-Dante match would come out any differently - Dante dies. (as per my personal interpretation that Urizen killed Dante, (unknowing sibling kill count 1-1), but he was able to hold out in the same near-death state that Vergil survived in, till the Qlipoth revived Dante and he was awakened later)
As you can imagine, Vergil is not happy about it. At all. He is being eaten by guilt of harming Someone Important, aka Nero, and the shame of having his """goal""" accomplished and having Dante defeated by "his" hand. This would likely make Vergil even more volatile in terms of his mental state, and he would not be filling around this time. Sorry, no Dancing in the Rain this time, Vergil is gunning to find his little brother.
(oh, it would be super cool if Dante lost his guns on the battlefield with Urizen and Vergil carefully picked them up. first - just to deliver them to their owner, but then to also tentatively use them (the recoil hurts like hell))
After that, the middle of the game is pretty much the same - Vergil awakens Dante (trying the near-stab as the last resort), the twins are forced to travel the crumbled family tunnel to the mansion, Dante figures SDT and flies off to catch Urizen, leaving Vergil to catch up. (not his best moment, but I don't think he would trust himself with new level of almost infinite demonic power around his frail brother)
Vergil probably is not as helpless as in canon, but he still very much appreciates Nero's help in getting to the last battlefield. He wants to believe his brother, but a lifetime of paranoia is not very kind and Vergil is still very desperate to see the battle for himself. I don't think Vergil would spill as much as he does in canon, but he would share that he and Dante are twins for sure.
Dante defeats Urizen, this time without desperate pleas, just sad about the dark thoughts that haunt Vergil's mind. Vergil catches up and is reborn after the battle. I think the events overwhelm Vergil and he bolts this time on his own. Dante sighs and feels rejected, Nero is overwhelmed, demands answers and Dante lashes out with them, then goes to follow Vergil "in case he does something stupid again".
From here...I'm not sure. I think in the scenario the twins talk it out without any battle and then fall into Hell. Vergil leaves the book as a promise and an apology. Nero doesn't get all the answers he wants, but at that point he has enough clues and the puzzle forcibly assembles itself. Dante spills the beans only in Hell, and Vergil is forced to deal with the knowledge there.
Not sure what to do with the familiars, or Nero's power moment in here, I admit. Nero could unlock his powers in the Urizen rematch fight, before SDT Dante intervenes, but it feels unfulfilling. Familiars have no reason to stop Dante in this, but in the game it's not like they really planned on it, it was more of a suicide mission, so maybe they could repeat that, everyone - them and Dante, thinking this would in one way or another aid Vergil? That's the best I can come up with at the moment.

Great news! You're in charge of the new DMC anime, what are you going to do with it?
Kickass fight scenes. Wouldn't be DMC with the awesome and insane feats our main characters do.
Character moments, Character moments, character moments. We logically can't have to much progression outside of the games, so moments are needed in high quality and quantity.
The time period would definitely be either DMC 5 Era or DMC 3. Probably 5.
I. Want. A. Mundus. FLASHBACK. Show the Bastard in High definition, I say.
EXPAND ON SPARDA LORE IN GENERAL PLEASE WE NEED MORE
They could actually do something with the Demon Civil War thing mentioned in the Game-That-Must-Not-Be-Named
Also just expand demons and devils in general? The things are in the title but we don't know a ton about them.
Really, just use the Anime to answer longstanding questions and the more complicated areas of the universe that the games can't.
This might be a bit of a stretch, but have the main villian be human. We've had so many human turned demons and just demons that having a plain old regular human as the antagonist could help define both the DMC world and differentiates the anime from the games.
Have the villian be a foil to Lady, Nero, or Vergil, and have them make Dante emotionally want to jump off a cliff.
ALSO SHOW THE DEVIL TRIGGERS IN THE ANIME FULLY CAPCOM YOU COWARDS

I've been experiencing baldur's gate and I have observations on either rather stupid ass fucking decisions on the writer's table when you compare some characters in the companion roster.
Gale and Karlach. Now those two are essentially almost the same, except Gale being a combination of Karlach and Shadowheart (Explosive heart + Faith(Mommy) issues.) Which really isn't that much of a problem on its own, but with how the story treats the characters, it begins to be.
To summarize, Gale's story involves finding a way to cope with his affliction, getting an ex machina solution when he basically gave up, and then wallowing in angst until he either sacrifices himself or doesn't and gets to worship Mystra's titties in self pity.
Compared to Karlach, who is hunting a Dante from DMC reject whilst trying not to think about how her condition is basically doomed, only to fall into despair after he's dead because she finally killed one of her abusers and now has fo focus on how she can't live a happy life. Because she either dies or suffers in hell. Classy
The point? Why does the masc character gets a chance on a life whilst the fem one doesn't?
Furthermore, Gale's problem stems from his own mistake, it's his fault because his pride wanted to fuck around and so he found out. But he does literally nothing proactive to solve his own issue, his godmommy literally sends an ex machina so he doesn't die, and he just continues on doing whatever he wants to. You can say yes "He can kill himself in a blaze of glory to repent" yes he CAN, he doesn't NEED to, the game gives you the option for him not to die.
Karlach on other hand, got human trafficked as a fucking teen, and then was turned into a weapon of war, until she could have escaped by being abducted with the goal of being enslaved... Take all that in, because it gets worse. She hunts down ONE of her abusers, only to not be presented with any solutions to her incredibly finite lifespan outside of hell. And you don't even get an option to try. After actively trying to find ways how to stabilise the heart you just don't get any more options, because one npc said she will die and we get no solutions. So in the end Karlach either dies, lives as a freak, or has to go back to hell to her other abuser. I'm so glad fr.
There's no other explanation for this besides the writers misogyny in making these characters. The most basic ass guy gets the issues he caused for himself solved for him, whilst the trauma survivor who deserves something happy for once gets that happiness dangled in front of her face and then denied for no good reason.
There is no good reason in game for her to not be allowed a good ending or a solution. We meet a dozen ass amount of wizards and strong ass characters that could pull literally any random solution for the Engine, but the writers decided not too.
I find this an intrinsicaly inexcusable favoritism of the wrong characters, the creators very much favour Gale over Karlach, they very much favour him over everyone else tbh. As we all know, unless you don't recruit him or make him leave at some point, killing him without reviving him will just cause you a game over, And he offers nothing to any questline beyond an automatic check pass when you talk to his cat. The only thing he has going for him is that he's a quippy posh wizard. But that fails to be fun when he runs out of stuff to talk about as he has the game revolve around him due to his condition without actually interacting with it in any feasible way.
Rant over.

Ride it - Urizen x Reader/ Devil may cry - part 1
Part 2
Description: Urizen should be stopped from eating the fruit from the tree and what better way to help than you? By the way, he's in mating season *cough*
Warnings: nsfw, 18+, sex with a demon, size difference, mating season
Other: It's a random story. I haven't watched a DMC Lets Play in a long time, so I'm not up to date. The story is written in freestyle, so it can differ significantly from the original story. I hope you still enjoy reading!
"Say Y/n," you looked up from your book when you heard Dante's voice and your eyes became skeptical, "you definitely want to know how to ride a demon, right?"
Your eyes widened and Nero almost spit out his drink when he heard the question.
"Uh..." was the only thing you managed to say and Dante started talking again: "For our plan we need someone to distract Urizen a bit and since demons also have their mating season and Urizen happens to be one of these demons," the idiot made a flirty eyebrow movement and your eyes radiated pure bewilderment.
You skillfully ignored the fact that your cheeks burned with embarrassment and your heart was pounding.
"You want me to fuck your brother, Dante? Really?... Besides, his demon form will kill me before I can even say a word. What's more, Vergil generally doesn't really... suffer me." You ruined his plans and he just grinned wider. Oh no, that wasn't good.
The next moment you were sitting on the bus with Dante, V and Nero, Nico was driving of course. You stared at each one of them, stunned. They had simply abducted themselves and now you had to cloud the dispatch of a Demon King. You wouldn't survive that and neither would your abdomen.
"Guys, that's sick," Nico also piped up and you were so grateful to her for that, but Dante had very little interest in that statement.
"She doesn't have to sleep with him, we'll intervene in time and save her, don't worry. A Demon King would be too big for our human friend anyway, right Y/n?" In fact, his statement outraged you. How would he know that? What was so special or different about this Urizen than a human man?
Well, he was a very big demon in his own right and... he was a demon. But his penis shouldn't be so different from human men... right? You shook your head in embarrassment as you thought about it and without being able to control it, a pleasant feeling spread between your legs. You would feel hot and your cheeks would burn.
"What if you can't save her in time or something comes up?" asked Nico skeptically and brought the car to a stop. Your gaze turned to Dante and he scratched the back of his neck.
“Then I hope for Y/n’s sake that she’s not a virgin anymore, haha,” Dante’s laugh sounded a little embarrassed. You almost fell back on the seat and Nero was barely able to hold on to you. His eyes were worried.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to you and we will intervene in time. We just have to distract Urizen from us. He must not eat this fruit."
You nodded and started walking, but you had to run ahead. His body was shaking and you could feel the power radiating from him. Urizen's strength was so much that your legs almost gave out and you shuddered.
Fear arose within you, but there was also another feeling. There he stood and stared at the fruit. His form was still shrouded and tendrils were coming out of his body. Your eyes got bigger and bigger. Something told you that he knew you were there and yet you were still alive.
“What do you want, human,” his almost robotic voice reached you and your mouth went dry.
"I wanted..., I wanted to make you an offer, Vergil," his big head jerks towards you at your voice. He recognized you.
“Y/n...” his deep voice made you nervous, but somehow it also made you feel good. You hate to admit it, but somehow you've always had feelings for Vergil. The fact that he was a demon didn't bother you much, you actually found it very interesting. You often thought about what it would be like to be touched by a demon. How his lips felt, his hands on your soft skin and most of all, how good he would be at taking you. Would you stand it? Would you like it?
Every thought of it had always made you wet, but your mind told you to ignore those feelings since Vergil wasn't a simple personality. But sometimes you saw how he read books, just like you, how he liked to be alone, because he liked to be left alone, just like you.
You were so alike, yet so different. He had never even glanced at you. Except for burning looks that you couldn't judge. It was the longing that was always getting ready, but at the same time you would have convinced yourself that you weren't good enough for him. Nobody was good enough for Vergil. Except himself.
"Get out of here, Y/n. This is no place for you," his voice brought you out of your trance and you took a step towards him. He growled, his head turning to every move you made. You notice that he reacted to you differently. Still dismissive, but he doesn't take his eyes off you. Could he smell the excitement rising inside you?
"Don't you want to listen to what offer I have for you?", you came closer and closer to him, "I heard that you are in your mating season."
The Demon King sucked in a sharp breath when he heard this and with every step you got closer he could smell you. A sweet innocent scent. You weren't a demon, but he could feel that his heart was crying out to take you. To take care of you. All this time he was trying to distance himself from you, he didn't want to fall in love with a weak, mortal human being.
But he wasn't stupid either, he knew that his brother was behind it and wanted to stop him from eating the fruit. Dante was hiding and watching the spectacle closely. Vergil now turns completely towards you and you had to swallow as his muscles tensed.
“What do you say to the offer, King Urizen,” you breathe, trying to find your voice again. Your pulse pounded against your throat and you could hear it in your ears.
"You should be careful who you give in to," he briefly looked in Dante's direction, then he tore the fruit from the tree and grabbed you. His hand fit perfectly around your waist and you gasped as the air was knocked from your lungs. Dante ran out of hiding, but it was too late. Virgil, you and the fruit were gone.
"Holy crap," Dante swore and ran his hands through his hair.
"Good luck Y/n. She'll definitely give me hell..."
Everything happened so quickly. A large claw grabbed you and the next moment the Demon King was sitting on his throne with you on his lap. Not only were his eyes watching you, no, the other eyes that were spread across his body were also looking at you. Urizen no longer looked the same, he had eaten the fruit and parts of his body had broken off and his face was now exposed. His green eyes burned into yours and you became uneasy.
What was he thinking? Would he kill you? Why hasn't he done it now? Suddenly the large claw came towards you and grabbed his chin, gentler than expected. It was so big that it could cover and smash his entire face.
"What's wrong, Y/n, have you swallowed your tongue? I still have an offer to make with you or is this falling through because my stupid brother's plan didn't go quite as planned?" his voice sounded amused.
You hadn't considered that. Vergil now had the fruit and Dante was supposed to save you, but things went wrong. Just as you had thought and now you were sitting on the huge leg of a demon king who was in mating season and could kill himself at any time.
"As if you were interested in me," you tried to free yourself from his grip as he wrapped his claw around you again, "you never liked me, Vergil," when you said his name, the demon growled and his grip tightened a little. You gasped, but he hadn't crushed you.
Then he let go and you quickly slipped off his lap. You could feel him watching your every move. He might have come after you, but in his current form he almost didn't care. You couldn't escape, he had taken you to the demon world and you were here all alone, without protection. Only he could help you, but he remained seated and watched as you leaned against the nearest stone and sat down on the ground.
You were sitting right in front of him and you knew you couldn't stray too far. It was just too dangerous, you had to trust Dante and the others to get themselves out of here. Even if it was really difficult for you. The demon watched you as your exhausted eyes closed.
He could feel the pleasure building within him, but he tried to hold it back. His frame was far too big for you, he would only hurt you and Urizen hated to admit it, but he didn't want to hurt you. But you were human, neither strong nor had demonic genes, and yet his core wanted you. He wanted to mark you and take you until there was no sound left in your lungs penetrated and you would forget your own name. His claws dug into the arms of his throne and he could watch as the gap between his legs opened and his erect member slowly emerged. He growled in frustration, his eyes falling back to your form. He had to be patient.
He wanted you to come to him.

i'm in the middle of doing something else right now + i don't normally make posts like this so this is going to be pretty poorly put together, but..
re:dmc1 novel, is gilver actually supposed to be vergil? i personally always assumed he was (+ and was therefore responsible for the resulting massacres etc.) until i last reread a few days ago:
for those unaware: the DMC1 novel mainly features demons that inhibit the corpses of dead humans. there are some instances of demons that don't possess any corpses which are described as "scythe-swinging shadows", but the main focus are the possessed corpses.
“Humanity was born a race of our slaves.” Gilver pressed harder on his weapon, and a thin stream of red blood rolled down Grue's neck. “Inhabiting the corpses taxes our strength and limits our numbers. But soon we will be able to migrate to this plane in our own prepared bodies.” (pg. 120)
The bandaged man [Gilver] radiated an aura of decay. (pg. 149)
however, dante does mention that gilver "doesn't smell like" the other demons. i left in the rest of the lines in mainly because i found gilver's characterization and dialogue here interesting:
“What are you, man? You don't smell like those other things.” “You don't need to know. In any case, I'm going to crush you.” Dante shrugged. “That's a fitting line for a villain.” “Your absurd labels are meaningless.” Gilver cackled behind his bandages. “The victor will be called the hero by future generations. Arguing about good and evil is pointless.” (pg. 172)
addt. gilver repeatedly separates himself from not only humans, but also dante:
“Do you have any questions, Dante? You have treacherous blood in you.” (pg. 172)
[...] Gilver finally pronounced. “You have our blood coursing through your veins. You're the mongrel half-breed offspring of a human and a demon. And you betrayed our side.” (pg. 173)
“This is your world,” he finally said. “Yes. The demon world is replacing yours. It will spread out from this nexus until finally everything is consumed.” Gilver hefted his sword, seemingly recovered from Dante's last attack. “This place is a cancerous blight to incomplete souls like you. [...] (pg. 180-181)
..... which is interesting, because throughout all of the novel dante has had trouble existing for any amount of time in the demon realm. whatever amount of devil blood in him doesn't help him and he struggles to stay awake and fight, even at the barrier between the two worlds. that said, gilver very obviously has access to some amount of demon power, mainly as shown through their battle in which he dons his.. demon armour lol
there are multiple other things that i didn't feel like touching upon right now, and the biggest issue is that... this is goikeda and kamiya's vision, not itsuno's. so it's possible that this IS actually vergil as the two wanted to write him, but considering this takes place just before DMC1.. it really could be possible that vergil's just been something considered dead, right?
... or maybe it is vergil and he just has blood on his hands and wanted dante to suffer, like i initially assumed. if anyone has any opinions or disagrees with me, please feel free to say as much :P i'd really like to analyze this book more and try to relate it to other DMC lore but it really is pretty difficult with how much has been retconned throughout the franchise. thanks for reading!

2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26 (My question is just say something about them you want to say)
For whichever character/characters your want
woweee this is gonna be a looooong post
2-Favourite thing about this character
Doing this for Dante. The Dr Faust cutscene, or to be more broad I love his silly attitude and his stupid jokes. Made this series iconic and funny and gives him a personality.
3-Least favourite thing about this character
For Dante this would probably be the ‘if you were 18 i would date you’ joke from the first episode of the anime. This really rubbed me the wrong way and its kinda weird to say that to a kid you just met???and ooc for him???
7-Whats something the fandom does when it comes to this character you like?
Actually give the girl characters time to shine instead of just making them sexy eye candy. And the silly family dynamics between the Sparda boys.
8-Whats something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?
the fucking Vergil dodges child support and is a ‘sigma based alpha male’ homophobe. i hate it so muchhh even though the meme is dead it still annoys me so much when i see people still think its funny.
9-Could you be roommates with this character?
I probably could be roomies with people like Dante and Nero and Kyrie. Id probably get a little annoyed at Dante for constantly being in debt and gambling but we could survive. Do not think I could be roommates with Vergil. that man does not know how the oven works.
10-Would you date this character?
fuck yeah I would date Dante.
12-What's a headcanon you have for this character?
Nico is the kind of person who drenches everything in ranch. She buys the ranch ice cream a lot and it makes Nero loose his shit every single time. She drowns her chips in ranch and Nero looks at her from across the table like shes murdered someone
14-Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.
Hrngh fuck im not a fashion person. Do kinda see Trish getting into gothic fashion tho.
20-Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?
Nero and Nico are the perfect best friends duo. Always got each others backs, always making fun of each other lightheartedly. I want more of them sooo badly you have no idea.
21-If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?
its been decades since I have last written anything in general. But I do remember Dante’s dialogue being fun to write for me and I dont like everything else because im constantly worrying if something is ooc
22-If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to this character? Something you don't like?
Its been decades since ive read any dmc fic either (get caught up in other things) but as mentioned earlier do love those family dynamics and the attempts to fix everything. Dont like when Vergil os portrayed as ice cold after dmc5.
23-Favorite picture of this character?
FUCK THIS IS SO HARD. I do love the capcom cafe art with dante and his tits out. the teppen card art is also pretty cool.
24- What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?
So considering the only other fandom I am in is about depressed teenagers trying to overcome their trauma its safe to say none. I guess Kel somewhat for Dante? Only cause theyre silly and have older brothers who like blue.
25-What was your first impression of this character? How about now?
When I first saw V back when I knew absolutely nothing about dmc, I thought he was edgy and didnt really like him (the video used the ‘what evil lurks I must destroy’ clip out of context). But now that I have played and beaten the series I must say V my poor guy hes an absolute menace.
26-FREEBIE QUESTION!!
no idea what this means!!!!!so im just gonna make up a question!!!!
26-Would you work for this character?
ABSOLUTELY NOT DANTE HAS NO BREAD!!!! and the job is like. insanely dangerous and im just an internet guy.

The fairiest of all 1/2
Tumblr media
Note: Based on this ask, I basically wrote this...I don't even know what this is, but I like it. A lot. I'm currently jumping between this and four other wips. It's like my brain won't rest and just keeps on spitting out AUs. Anyway, my main source is Celtic mythology with some Fey Wanderer and Feylost from dnd. The reader is technically not a changeling, because they are actually the original human taken by the fairies. Also, this Dante is dmc anime Dante, because I think he does not get enough love. I'll be posting part two cause this is already too long and it expanded WAY above my expectations.
Enjoy this helter-skelter of magical worlds.

The existence of demons and the infernal lands they inhabit is widely accepted in Redgrave and the rest of the world. However, the other world almost mirrors ours. A place that is always changing, always shifting. A place up is down, light is dark and nothing is as it seems. Unlike the underworld, it's so deeply intertwined with ours that it's sometimes impossible to tell it apart. But if you look closer you just may catch fleeting sight of it.
You grew up in the World of the Fae after disappearing from your home plane as a child. Your parents made a pact with a Fairy that they'll get whatever they wish for in exchange for their firstborn. Only when they held a wailing infant in their arms they realized what they got themselves into. Faefolk is too whimsical and fleeting to take on the responsibility of raising a human child, but they did their best.
Living in this world shaped you, whether physically or psychologically. You're a bit too easy in your step, almost as if you were floating. When you're happy, you smell sweetly like nectar or honey. Your hair grows unnaturally fast. Flowers bloom in your presence. You have little to no concept of time and space. You can't keep still even when sitting down. You almost always space out, as if your consciousness was split between two worlds.
All good things come to an end. Your Fae parent realized that there's no place for a human in the Otherworld, and because they cared about you, they knew you have to go back. Being figuratively spat out of your only home after reaching what your Fae patron considered mature age was like a slap in the face. The beginnings were...rough. You quickly realized that the human world is completely different from the Fae world. To this day, there are still many things you don't understand, but you've grown to accept that.
As much as you wished to leave your old life behind, once you touch the veil, you cannot stay away from it. What about the family of Brownies that lives in your old apartment building? Or that Dryad whose tree did not get cut down because you almost turned the city upside down to get signatures for the petition? Do the locals feel safer after those disappearances caused by the Redcapes residing on one of the roads leading out of the city? And that Merfolk, about to be sold by the local mafia to be a pet of some rich asshole? Time and time again, you found yourself being pushed between two sides of the conflict of two worlds.
You realized the potential of a human acclimated into the world of the fae. And so, you became a mediator between the Otherworld and the human world. The fey warden guards the place where the veil unravels and takes care of unwanted visitors that step over it in one direction or another. Luckily, you have your fairy friends to help you with this task. Also the wide variety of skills and abilities at your disposal.
A fey mystique surrounds you. Now as a fey wanderer, you represent both the mortal and the fey realms. As you wander the multiverse, your joyful laughter brightens the hearts of the downtrodden, and your martial prowess strikes terror in your foes, for great is the mirth of the fey and dreadful is their fury. You are able to augment your weapons with mind-scarring magic, drawn from the gloomy hollows of the Unseelie fey. Your experience with the fey guarded your mind and sharpened your tongue. You are not easily charmed or frightened and your mouth can get you out of any sticky situation. The Seelie court has blessed you with the assistance of the fey. You can call forth fey spirits. You can slip in and out of Fey world to move in a blink of an eye.
With the life you have, you were sure that there's nothing in this world that could surprise you. You were about to be proven wrong.
You met at a fair. So inconspicuous, like you were just average people or people at all. Your senses were alerted of the otherworldy presence. You started scouting immediately, but after half an hour you gave up, hoping the perpetrator will reveal themselves eventually. To distract yourself, you headed to one of the stands to buy ice cream. Just as you were about to dig into your cone, you caught sight of a handsome man in the crowd. He was easy to spot, towering over everyone, tails of bright red coats fluttering dramatically around him, snow-white hair sticking out like a sore thumb. When his eyes met yours for a brief moment, you completely forgot your surroundings, causing you to walk into one of the striped poles that held the string lights. The ice cream ended on shoes. Drat.
The incident successfully got rid of any cravings for snacks, so you took your chance at the Ferris wheel instead. When it was finally your turn, you couldn't believe who they paired you up with. The ride was a little awkward at first. The man in red did not seem to want to strike up a conversation and you yourself were finding yourself at a loss for words. You noticed the big guitar case he was holding.
"Are you a musician? Will you be performing tonight?" You offered him your best charming smile.
The man looked at you in surprise. "Um, no...my performances are for...different crowd."
"Ooooh," you nodded in understanding. "So, you're some rock star who tries to go low profile, got it." You grinned. "Don't worry, your secret is safe with me." and you finished it with a cheeky wink.
He laughed. Finally, he laughed, and it was the sexiest sound ever. His blue eyes filled with mirth, few white strands fell to his face. "You seem to be more of a Funk person yourself." He looked you up and down and you felt yourself shiver like his gaze was a physical touch.
You lifted your arms in defeat, "Hey, everybody needs a little Groove in their life."
Dante opened his mouth, probably to say something charming, funny, or flirty, or that he's madly in love with you, hopefully. You never found out, because at that moment, right when you were at the top of the Ferris wheel, the machine jerked to a halt. If Dante hasn't caught you in his strong arms, you would've probably fallen off.
"Whew! That was close. Looks we're gonna be stuck here for a while-" You turned to him with a flirtatious grin, but Dante had the same serious glare with which he stepped into the booth.
Before he had any chance to react he jumped over the railing and down onto one support beam holding the wheel. That's when you noticed it. As vast as your knowledge of the various fey is, you've never seen a creature like this before. Something between a big lizard and a centipede, with a terrible grin filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth, was gnawing at the center of the Ferris wheel. That thing wants the entire thing to collapse, you realized.
As if it sensed your gaze, the monster had turned to you, a disgusting grin widening even more as if it knew about your realization. Your silent exchange was pierced by a gunshot and the lights of the attraction fizzled out, followed by several terrified screams.
What will you do? What can you do? You asked yourself as you watched the mysterious man in red discard his guitar case and pull out a huge claymore. You only gaped as he lifted it over his head like it weighed nothing and slashed at the monster.
The slippery bastard dodged, curling its slimy body away, and slinked away on one of the support beams towards another unsuspect person in the nearest booth, but not before disappearing out of sight with a few ripples over its scaly skin. Camouflage. It seems the hunter realized it too, because he stood frozen at the center point of the Ferris wheel, trying to locate the creature.
From the corner of your eye, you saw a ripple in the air. You wanted to yell at the man to warn him, but that would alert the creature as well. It seems a little bit of magic is needed here.
Dante was alerted by a bright colorful sheen right above him. When he lifted his head, instead of the demon he saw its silhouette outlined in the mysterious light. Without hesitating, he jumped up and slashed vertically. He was rewarded by a howling screech and one severed leg falling down. The monster decided to retreat into safety, now that its location was revealed. Unfortunately, it decided your booth is the best choice. When the beast noticed the tiny human hunched in the corner of the booth, it snarled menacingly. Fangs baring in the victory at the easy prey. Any normal human would shit themselves at this moment. If you were normal, that is.
You wasted no time in showering the beast in a cordon of incorporeal violet needles. With a hiss of pain, the monster leaped at you with renewed rage. At that point, the booth could not hold your combined weights any longer and collapsed. Dante watched helplessly as the booth dislocated from its position on the wheel’s rim. He tried to get to you with all the inhuman speed he possessed. Desperate to save you, a strange person with a bright sparkle in their eyes and a sweet scent tickling his nose. He can’t stand the thought of your eyes losing that bright sheen, to be just another voice to haunt him in his dreams. That’s when he saw it. Instead of erratic descent on the concrete, you were…floating down. As if you were riding on pixie dust, you were surrounded by golden sparkles, legs poised, ready for the descent, arms perched above you. He only extended his arms in silent shock as you gently settled into his arms.
You locked eyes for a moment and Dante desperately scrambled for the things to say. THE Dante Sparda was at a loss for words, and you didn’t seem to be doing much better.
“That was…uh…”
“Yeah…” You couldn’t help but laugh at the bizarreness of the situation. Your laugh sounded like the tinkling of the bells, and Dante felt a smile stretching his lips as if of their own volition. As if he couldn’t help but be happy around you. Who are you?
The small world you two were in was disturbed by a loud crash of the booth hitting the ground. “Let’s get out of here,” Dante exclaimed sternly as he carried you away from the situation. Your eyes were still trained on the broken booth, still wondering what kind of creature you just saw.
“It’s better if you forget what just transpired here,” Dante told you as you stood several feet away from the ruckus as the police and firemen secured the area around ferries wheel. He spoke to you while you were both looking at the scene, not once looking at you.
“What was that thing that attacked us?” You ignored his question and bite into a cookie you pulled out of the sack filled with baked goods. The monster attack seemed to reawaken your craving for snacks.
“You don’t wanna know.”
“You don’t know what I don’t want to know.” You parried between the munching. If there’s something that stayed with you since leaving the Otherworld it’s your love for wordplay.
All he did was shoot you an annoyed look. You realized that this is not the way to go and asked him instead, “All right, what type of creature are you then?”
He finally looked at you, and he was met with those bright, sharp eyes again. They made the knot in his stomach tighter, his throat a bit too dry. He’s attracted to you, and that really won’t do. Especially since you seem to see straight through him.
He turned away and started walking away. He was acting like a jackass, and you were so nice to him. Even offered him one of your cookies. Hopefully, it’ll be enough for you to be put off by him. But then he felt a small hand tug on his with surprising strength.
“I said wait! Where do you think you’re going? It’s rude to walk away when someone’s asking you a question, you know?” You put your hands on your hips and waddled a finger in front of his face.
You were putting his silent brooding tough guy persona under strain.
“Dante.”
“Huh?”
“Name’s Dante.” He blurted out. Damn, he wasn’t supposed to say that. You really making him lose his hard-earned control.
Well, at least you were getting somewhere. “Nice to meet you, Dante.” You extended your hand,and without a second thought, Dante grabbed it.
“So, ferris wheel may be closed, but other attractions are still open. What do say we tried shooting game?” “I…” “Awesome! Let’s go.” Without letting go of his hand, you pulled him after you. You knew you were pushy, but being carried by this guy princess-style gave you a new boost of serotonin and new hope to try again.
Dante watched the small palm resting in his hand and pondered how he got himself into this again. You’re just so…maddening, bubbly, and intoxicating, and the syrupy-sweet scent that clung to you was driving him mad. Just as he was about to excuse himself again you turned to him and gave him a dazzling smile that completely disarmed him.
“Oh, by the way, my name is…”
