No , RWBY is neither misogynistic nor homophobic...it is every bit the opposite

Rwby not written for the male gaze. Redesigns made by critics focus on sexualizing women. RWBY has women show much less skin than the typical fairy tail woman. Also their clothes have pockets and pouches. Rwby is not written for the patriarchy.

So Personally I've always felt like misogyny was always made by the critics. A common thread in a lot of that group's criticisms seems to come down to not liking that some of the show's villains embody male power fantasies, and that the positive male characters it has aren't the main characters, with the female characters being a harem for them.

It's a female-centered story whose true focus is its main characters' growing and supporting each other through their weaknesses and struggles, and a lot of men can't stand it.

Rewrites and AUs focus on men, on straightwashing women, on validating edgelords, on telling women that they suck. And more importantly, rewrites are obsessed with not letting women be right about anything or important unless they're tied to a male protagonist story.

But Rwby is about giving women roles typically held by men. Women not requiring men for authority, or guidance, but instead being men's equals. Or in the case of the female antagonists? Having mental superiority over deconstructed edgelords like Adam taurus or the "ends justify the means" deconstruction of ironwood.

They have girlfails like Cinder, who you can hate, but also admire that she keeps coming back and refusing to give up.

They have badass grannies like Maria Calavera.

They have autism-coded women.

And unlike Naruto? Women can actually WIN a 1 on 1 fight against a male opponent.

Edgelord is what incels see themselves as. Incels also see themselves as victims of women. They also see themselves as tragic, misunderstood, or entitled to an ego.

Adam is the example of the incel: "I was hurt by society, so I am going to make it everyone's problem! I am a hero of justice, for I am giving the world the justice it deserves! I am an underdog!"

That's how incels, conservatives, otakus see themselves.

They saw Adam as a Vergil Sparda. A dude who murders countless innocent lives for the sake of power.....who believes that power is the only thing matters. He ain't morally grey, he's evil. But he's cool, and to a lot of very emotionally immature people, coolness means morally grey or anti-villain/anti-hero. Adam was introduced trying to rob a train and blow up innocent people....people accused blake of being a murderer and trying to blow up the train, then running from adam. Adam was shown in volume 2, as a cult leader neglecting the deaths of his people. As with "Burning the candle" Yang and Blake scene, RWDE and RWBY Critics disregarded that because it ruined their headcanons of what they wanted Adam to be.

How many Adam fanfics have you seen where Blake is written as the one abusing adam?

Male abusers see themselves as victims of women.

Coffeehouse Crime, Danielle Kirsty, Eleanor Neale. Look them up on Youtube. They cover multiple cases of murderers and abusers. And the details that go into emotional and mental abuse/gaslighting? They cover them all. Including how society turns a blind eye to abuse if its not physical. Which is what Adam fans do.

Btw, if you want an example of a murderer who was an IRL abuser? Just look up OJ Simpson, who got away with both thanks to his fans.

RWBY covers emotional abuse, shows the damage it can do, and shows through Blake the recovery.

Arryn has been a victim of IRL cyberbullying from blacksun fans, BobxEliza fans, and Adam fans.

To where she's had to deactivate her social media.

Art imitates life....RWBY Critics harassing voice actresses. Though thefloofartist actually sent CRWBY gore fanart of Bumbleby and tauradonna ntr fanart, that was horrific.

Roman Torchwick is an example of charismatic sociopaths being the criminal: Society was mean to me, so I'm going to be racist, steal from the elderly, and hurt kids. Sure he has charisma as a character....does that excuse racism, calling Emerald a Street Rat, trying to rob old men, and shooting teenage girls

Jacques emotional abuse and gaslighting, something many people refuse to acknowledge unless its clearly spelled out from A to Z. One Adam taurus fan on twitter made death threats to a woman trying to explain that emotional abuse is real.

Raven is a bandit. A bandit is a killer and a thief. You don't romanticize killers and thieves. One piece paints an unrealistic view of pirates.

Ironwood and Atlas represent the American Macho mindset and the nationalism issue Americans have. Illegally occupying foreign nations with military force as a means of "peacekeeping"? Removing leaders from power who don't respect your authority or your ideas? My way or the highway? Unwilling to compromise? Willing to work with capitalist Corporations so long as your war machine is funded? The ends justify the means? Only villains say that! Merging the police with the military to have unlimited power? Putting the good ethical cop "Marrow" under pressure and mockery? Treating the poor people as acceptable losses to cut and cutting all aid and support to the 99%? Arresting or threatening good samaritans who try to help the impoverished and underprivileged because they're not recognized by your licenses? Refusing to accept checks and balances because you see yourself as above the law and being the only one with the big picture? Seeing it as your duty to police others?

People were willing to consider Ironwood a sussy baka so long as they could consider Atlas to be like Germany. But the moment CRWBY pointed out how Atlas was too much like America? The "patriots" got furious...because it was too much like looking into a mirror, and the Ironwood fangirls did not like what they saw.

youtube

Less character bloat compared to shounen anime. Shounen has thousands of character. RWBY barely has 200. But they focus more on women's characters than men, and that upsets the Cardin fans and fanfic writers. If I had a nickel for every youtube channel that decided to make the racist incompetent bully into some "gigachad", I'd have two nickels, which isn't much, but still weird that it happened twice. Meanwhile, let a man have 3-5 minutes of screentime, the critics will say that Team RWBY don't act like the main characters. Protagonist centered morality only in shounen. Team rwby do face consequences and are forced to evaluate their decisions. The women are the protagonists, and they can spend more than 10 minutes without breaking the Bechdel test. Something that, once again, adam and cardin and jaune fanfics fail within a paragraph.

"A man and a woman can spend several seasons together and be just friends at the end"

Ichigo and Rukia from Bleach, One Piece Live Action, Naruto and Sakura from that Gay Ninja Series.

Or in RWBY's case, I'm referring Blake Belladonna and Sun Wukong

Neither showed romantic attraction towards either gender for the majority of the show. Blake and Sun's arcs in V4 and V5 were about Blake learning to accept help, and Sun learning to recognize and respect people's boundaries. Neither Blake nor Sun actually made serious advances, and simply stayed good friends. Also if lesbians cannot exist without being fan service to you, that just means you're a pervert and need to touch grass.

Anyway, whomever said that RWBY Writers have no idea how to write women need to take a look at how their critics make video after video bashing women and LGBT.

Oh, and twitter calls RWBY post v3 "pandering to tumblerinas".

Given how Tumblr has no pedophiles/lolicons, less conservatives and terfs, and is very feminist? I'll take that as a compliment.

Personal headcanon that the reasons demons still mistake Nero for "merely a weak human", despite him doing things no irl human could do or survive, is because humans are just Like That in the DMC universe. Both before Sparda separated the Human and Demon Realms (the DMC3 manga says that the Human and Demon Realms used to be one universe, which implies that humans evolved alongside demons, so it'd make sense that humans would be able to do weird shit they can't do in our universe), and (this is just a headcanon of mine) afterwards, because what counted as "natural/normal" laws of physics (and thermodynamics, all that) was shaped by what Sparda thought was "normal" (depending on how much him separating the Human and Demon Realms was him basically having Reality Warping level powers), including what humans were capable of. Which is sorta my headcanon for why Lady is such a impossible (for our universe at least) badass- all humans are just Like That in this universe. Or can be.

Not trying to discount how badass Lady is, because she IS amazing, I'm just trying to account for how much the DMC universe seems to run on Rule of Cool. And not just for Dante, Nero, Vergil, and Trish, but for EVERYONE.

Thanks for the ask!

I definitely agree with the headcanon that humans are more capable of doing certain things in the world of DMC. As badass as Lady is, I feel like I have seen her defy the laws of physics I think.

Okay but like I have another one not as much fleshed out cause I'm a sub and a Dante girly, but imagine fighting for dominance with Vergil 👀 like he's got you exactly where he wants you but you're an asgardian who doesn't go down without a fight but he wants to hear you down right beg for him. But momma didn't raise no quiter, so you both end up rolling around in the sheets, at one point you're on top before he uses his strength to pin you down. At another point he ends up on the bottom with you on top, riding him like you own him. The most surprising thing of all is that Vergil is living for this, absolutely loves being able to be kept up with, being able to have a partner who keeps him on his toes AND can go head to head with him in the strength department, ugh my man's is living the dream right there

These are just all head canons and ideas I'm writing about in my own little story. It's a crossover story 👀 which explains why you have an asgardian s/o. I'd love to tell you more if you're interested 🤔 I just have a feeling Vergil would love a partner who play fights him in bed but also could fight him irl, straight up brat tamer vibes from this one

I think it would take a lot of trust and understanding and time for Vergil to be comfortable with this. But for sure, he loves someone who can keep up with him. He likes a meek and submissive lover too, but if you show him that you can keep up with him, he's so hard. He doesn't want to be necessarily tied down or bonded, but if you get on top and ride him, he'd have a hard time holding on.

If you're a brat with him, the first time he may be so confused. He'll get upset. But then if you were to gently coax him and to explain it to him, he'd be a bit more intrigued. You tell him it's a game of sorts. He's still not sure how to proceed but he's so turned on by your way of talking back. It turns him on all of a sudden.

DMC Questions Anon here!

How do you think the characters in DMC feel about snow? How do they react to it?

Contractually obligated to answer this one today, because it's been a helluva snowstorm outside, and I wasn't expecting it this far down february (nervous chuckle looking at the date of the ask, anyway)

Disclaimer: I think the weather really doesn't bother the sparda idiots that much. If Cerberus, King Cerberus and Berial is anything to go by, then Hell has all kinds of extreme temperatures going on, so the loser hybrids should be resistant to it all. This has pretty much been the main reason why I could not think of anything to write on the topic. However, today's snowstorm has reminded me of an important note:

The Vibes

Weather makes the vibes, so this answer is not literal 'do the twins feel cold', but more of a 'what weather do they vibe with'.

Sooo, we have the Winter and Summer camps to divide characters into.

Dante goes into Summer category - he doesn't mind the snow too much, but if his clothing choices are to go by then he likes warmer temperatures. Vergil is in the middle - cause a certain beloved mutual of mine (p.s. all of my mutuals are my beloveds, I'm just calling out a specific one here) has pointed out Vergil haven't experienced actual sunlight in about twenty years, so I imagine he would love both to warm up in the sun and the wintery vibes. Unlike Dante, who has 5 pieces of clothing in total, and doesn't care too much about his looks, Vergil likes to dress for the occasion and I think he loves his scarfs, he seems very much like a scarf guy, so yeah he'd dress properly in winter at least.

Nero is a Summer boi for sure, he doesn't really get cold in winter, but he always Feels cold the moment temperature drops below 15 C outside. I like to imagine him puffing with wingclaws when they're out in winter xD. He loves shorts, slippers and tank tops for summer walks.

Kyrie is a Winter girl. We have no canonic idea on what the hell the climate of Fortuna is, but based on irl Italy i imagine it gets both warm in summer and cold enough for some snow in winter. Kyrie would try to spend as much time possible when there's snow around (driving Nero a little bit crazy), she loves gluhwein and maybe ice skating. Yeah I can easily picture her dragging Nero (and Nico) to the city ice ring when it's up. She also likes cycling in other seasons.

Not sure, but Nico also goes into the Summer camp too.

Trish is the same as Vergil, she's ambiguous, she mostly just likes the natural weather phenomena of human world without their destructive properties, when compared to Hell.

Lady goes into Winter camp for me. She dresses for the weather, but the winter vibes suit her better I think. Probably would be good at ski running...now that I think about it, she'd be awesome at biathlon... I also think she runs in other seasons, I mean, she has to be constantly training in the background to be able to keep up with demons, right? sports-obsessed Lady headcanons go

Lucia is ambiguous because she likes both seasons, though I imagine winter and proper snow would be uncommon for her. Another gluhwein fan for sure. She probably likes stretching in the summer.

Patty is a definitive Summer lover, but she likes snow-related activities too, and has the common sense to dress properly. Likely a skiing fan, when the cold is mild. I also think she really likes swimming, or some other water-related activity in summer.

Sparda likely liked Summer more, just because he didn't have to worry as much about his family getting sick, but on his own had no preference. Probably liked reading outside in good weather though. Eva is a summer person in my eyes too, though I don't yet have a concrete picture in my head as to why. Maybe because she misses her garden and is locked inside the mansion with two literal hellion children in wintery seasons xD

Thank you for the ask Ember! This has been fun to think about)

#I think Im forgetting someone but im not sure who send help #dmc questions anon #im off to enjoy the fresh snow now #dmc

Rules & Mun Info & Credits

I often go by Greed or Kris, although others will also refer to me by names of the in game characters they've met and known me as. These are typically Vergil, Shiki, and Nishiki. My main and personal whatever blog is @everdreamtree and where my follow backs and asks will be from.

I'm 37 and Genderfluid. Any pronouns are fine. I'm a caregiver IRL to my room mate and best friend @dante-al-dente so it's very often that I'm busy. Replies can be slow due to that. I do play Final Fantasy XIV as Vergil Azureheart on Brynhildr / Crystal NA data center and veey much welcome friending and interacting on there.

I also love to draw. If that's any interest to you, my art blog is @autophagy but any Devil May Cry related art I do will be reblogged here. Sometimes I also stream my art if that interests you too. I don't do commissions as I don't feel ready to do them yet.

Chatting is nice too. If you're feeling lonely, or just have a question, feel free to message me. It's easier to contact me on discord, so please ask for that if you prefer.

Rules:

Adult muns only! There will be mature content on here. I'm fine interacting with muses that are minors, but I will cut things off if I feel like it's getting weird.

Be respectful and kind and I will do the same.

Private messages are always open. Especially if you're shy or want to discuss something like plot details.

English not your first language? That's absolutely fine so long as we can communicate plenty well enough that we can understand one another. In fact, let me know if you'd rather I simplify my vocabulary and sentence structure for you. I will happily oblige.

You do not have to be an experienced rper to write plots with me. You'll always be welcome even if it's your first time.

There is no rush to reply or any kind of post requirements. Do what you feel comfortable with and just enjoy yourself. I'm a caregiver IRL and have a lot that occupies me from day to day, so I'll take a while with replies.

Alternate and Cross Universes are totally fine.

OCs and canon characters from other fandoms are also welcome.

Doubles are absolutely fine. It doesn't matter what characters I'm currently active with, your's will be welcome, too. That includes other Vergils. We could always play with ideas like doppelgangers or Blue Vergil + Red Vergil.

Crippling bodily harm and death to my characters must be talked about first. I allow it, but it'll only be true for that particular thread. Actually I encourage it.

Romance is a very iffy subject for me when it comes to interaction with other muses. I have nothing against it but I have had one too many bad instances to be willing to write it with others. Solo writing and one off asks are fine, but for now I rather not have any role play relationships with other people's muses where romance is the main objective. I'm sorry I'm just not comfortable with it anymore.

Discord RP is very fine too if you prefer. Ask me for my discord ID.

Anyone is welcome to send asks and/or prompts. You do not have to be a role player yourself, or have the intent to role play with me. See tag list for the prompts I have reblogged. Prompt lists and ask memes don't have a use-by date, and you can send as such from lists I haven't reblogged. If you do this, please include a link to the list/meme in question otherwise I may not understand it.

Prompts and asks do not have to be based on my main canon divergent arc or Ouroboros. Please state if you want a more canon, time specific, or even muse or person specific answer. Such as a question for me where the answer is very dependant on a specific muse I interact with, maybe even your muse, or even you as in yourself. Or maybe you wish to have an answer from Vergil from DMC3, rather than Vergil from DMC5. If nothing is specified or obvious then I will choose on a whim.

You may reblog ask memes and prompts from me without sending me an ask or prompt from the list. It's very much appreciated if you do, but I don't mind at all if you don't.

On the subject of DMC and family, I'm curious as to how you think Nero would interact with Vergil and Dante when they get back from their underworld road trip? Cuz I've seen so many interpretations with Nero being abrasive and almost downright hostile to Vergil and... I can't help but disagree with that take. Nero's whole deal has always been about family and being a better person than how he's perceived and while I don't expect him to "forgive" Vergil for certain dumbshit decisions, I do see him at least wanting him to be a part of his life.

But I'm curious about your thoughts on the matter. What are your interpretations?

I mean. I agree with you in that I don’t think Nero would be actively hostile or antagonistic or anything like that toward Vergil (the same goes for the inverse as well). I do think he’d be fucking furious at both Vergil and Dante when they get back, though.

Like. Save for Kyrie, Nero’s whole life has been a series of abandonments. Not all of them were voluntary (or even knowingly), sure, but from what I’ve taken away from his character in canon, it’s left marks regardless. And irl, that’s not something that just goes away as a young adult/adult. There’s no way Dante and Vergil skipping off to the underworld together — without a second thought and potentially no way back (at least, no way that Nero would be immediately aware of) — is going to not feel like one more for the pile. Nero has every right to be angry over that, and that’s on top of Dante withholding the truth from him for so long (which is going to create its own set of doubts).

That being said, in all honesty, I think Nero’s first instinct will always be explosive anger. However, if some time has passed — let’s say at least 6 months to a year or so — and he’s had time to process everything and vent to Kyrie when needed, I genuinely think he might just straight up avoid them for a while. This is more speculation, but Nero’s life and attitude has mirrored Dante’s fairly closely. Assuming that’s worth going on and holds any weight, Dante started mellowing out at the later end of his 20’s/early 30’s.

So uh… yeah. I can totally see Nero being at least a little more mature and avoiding them (at first) because, yeah, he’s still fucking angry, but he doesn’t want to blow up on them the first time he confronts them in (relatively) normal circumstances. Maybe even kind of bitter (“Why the fuck would I want to see them? They left me, why should I go to them?”) and angry at himself for wanting to see them. I’m sure they’d inevitably come find him in that case, either together or for their own reasons.

That’s just my line of thought going solely off my gut and my interpretations of the characters, tho. I could be totally wrong and Nero just lovingly uppercuts them both into orbit on sight lol. Because I can see that too tbh.

u already know... vergil

First impression: oh👀 hes... kinda cool👀

Impression now: So I've been stuck on this part for a while. I asked myself: what do I say here? Do I write an entire essay that go in extreme details over what, how, and why I like this character so much? Do I try to explain why he's literally been a constant presence in the back of my mind for what is soon to be 5 years without sounding insane? Do I just write [UNINTELLIGIBLE] or put a funny gif or a picture of his face with a lot of blue hearts💙 and call it a day? Idk man, but I can at least safely say this: Vergil is my absolute favorite character of all time.

Favorite moment: easy answer is everytime hes on screen💙 but for real. really. seriously. If I HAVE to choose one (1) moment. with the way I'm literally ALWAYS biting on my knuckle irl when Im seeing that scene. the slow reveal. the entire game worth of anticipation. his silhouette. him slowly turning. him having the most confused face known to man. "The Alpha And The Omega". fucking hell man. actual goddamn shivers.

Idea for a story: YALL KNOW ABOUT BAMBI 2 AU LOL. most of what I want has been covered in "Rebirth" anyway. And Im doing so many AUs with this man and his family. Have to work on that star wars idea with Vader Angelo. I also have a few ideas for an AU where the Mundus attack didnt happened and dante and vergil are just. some dudes in Redgrave.

Unpopular opinion: I already voiced them before but I cant invent another one out of nothing so: I dont see him and V (and Urizen for that matter) as separate characters and I dont particularly care about his relationship with nero's mom/lady in red.

Favorite relationship: NERO NERO WITH NERO theres so much potential there!!! I KNOW I dont have to look very far for this content to find it BUT. I genuinely think this is THE most interesting dynamic we can get in future content. I am EXTREMELY sensible for stories between father & son characters that are fully fleshed out on their own. AND I FEEL THIS WAY EVEN MORE BECAUSE OF THE RECENT VoV LIKE... AFTER A LIFETIME OF BEING LOST TO IT, IT WAS THE SON WHO SAVED HIS FATHER FROM DESPAIR...

Favorite headcanon: this man doesnt need to eat or sleep :) also librarian vergil my beloved💙

#vergil. vergil. how do I even start with vergil spardason from the Devil May Cry series #vergil is flawless #he has the yamato. mirage edge. and beowulf #I hear his coat's insured for 10 000$#one time. he combo'd me in a boss fight and I died and lost at full health #it was awesome.#smengus #ask meme #tagging later

So, I have some thoughts on shipping in the DMC 'verse.

For the most part, I'm open to pretty much any ship in the DMC universe save for Spardacest- not my thing (no, this post is not about Spardacest or the whole argument of pro or anti)

For the most part, I can tolerate pretty much any ship going. I even like a couple; I'm partial to Nero×Kyrie (when Kyrie is actually written with a personality- looking at YOU, game devs) and I actually really enjoy Lady×Vergil on occasion, and I also really like Vergil×OC/Nero's Mom. I'm cool with Dante×Lady even though I don't see it. Or Lucia×Dante. Don't care. Put anyone with pretty much anyone, and I'm not going to get up in arms about it, whether it be for or against. I'm not in those ship wars.

What I REALLY like about DMC, (and what this post is actually about) is tt it has such rich platonic and familial relationships. I feel like so much of media and fandom are focused on romantic or sexual relationships, and while those are interesting and often times stuff I like, my absolute favorite relationships and tropes are centered around much more platonic bonds. Friends, Found Family, Brothers, Father and Child, Platonic Soulmates- these are the things that make me really happy in a piece of media, and this series is full to the brim with it! I love the dynamics between Dante and Lady and Trish- how they are the strangest of adopted families, how Dante loves them with everything he is, their banter, all of it. I love the yin and yang dynamic of Dante and Vergil- the brothers in conflict, on opposite sides, finally reconciled with one another and able to heal. I love Vergil and Nero and the awkward sort of thing budding between them- respect, sparks of paternal love beneath the surface, the hope of something once thought lost. I love Nero and V, the kinship they forged in a short time, Nero's selfless care for his ally turned unlikely friend, V's turmoil over using Nero and his desire that- if only- Sons of Sparda did not need to spill shared blood.

Sorry to wax poetic and ramble, especially when this post was supposed to be about ships, but like- Idk, you guys, I just really love that DMC isn't about the ships- at least not for me. It's just so full of deep platonic relationships that you just genuinely don't see much of anymore and honestly I live for that stuff- especially between men cuz like apparently we've made deep emotional bonds too taboo for boys irl, poor boys.

But yeah, just random thoughts hit me before I fell asleep and I had to wax poetic about it or my soul wouldn't know rest.

Me: Fever. Vomiting. Arm hurts. Muscles are sore

My cat: it's time to jump on your stomach and put my butt on your face when you're sleeping

(It's not the Rona™️ btw. My body is just reacting a little less favourably to the diphtheria jab...)

(Ever since graduation, I've been working in a clinic that does surgery, so I kinda receive more jabs than most people cos I need to be inoculated against lots of random stuff...

Vaccines are super good and I'm all for receiving them, my body just likes overreacting to every jab 😅)

(I'm also sorry for being so inactive again recently! I wanted to post art! But I've been so busy with my job @_@... I've taken on more confidential work, so I can't elaborate... but I'm neck deep in paperwork lately 🥲

My asks, DMs and comments are lowkey piling up, I'm sorry for not replying!! I'm just really emotionally drained after interacting with so many people irl everyday 😔

I've neglected a few of my gacha games lately... and I've been wanting to get more into Resident Evil, but I don't have the time again 🥲

^ thankfully I have this Vergil plush to accompany me everyday in the clinic 😀! Seriously, I can't believe I received 3 of these this year for my birthday...)

(I love you dad. Thanks for letting me snuggle you everyday. I can't believe my colleagues and boss are calling you "dad" too. I'm not willing to share my dad with anyone. All of them need to back off >:U ! Go and find your own dad! This is my dad! I've known him since I was 8! Clearly I'm first in line to get married to him >:U)

(I'm joking 😂. But seriously though. Back off. My colleague tried to squeeze the butt of my plushie that day >:T )

#I'm surprised people acknowledge his presence at my desk 😂#like saying good morning to him 😂#personal

Sorry for coming to you with a rant but I just found out about porg after returning to the fandom and she makes my skin crawl. As a DMC fan and specifically someone that's fond of Dante, I notice that she's in some ways completely bastardizing the games.

From completely disregarding characterization to wild and even baseless assumptions while using slurs, I feel that no fix it fic for anything would change her mind because she wants a reason to hate DMC5. Do I like Vergil's characterization? Not completely. Do I like Dante's all the time? No. But I dont go off targeting people calling them slurs and trying to incite them to target me with racism (I'm a black fan of DMC). Hell, if anything; I do my own personal fics because I have trouble finding things for me. She has no excuse to be this way, considering that mental illness or not, it doesnt give you a right to do half of what she's done.

Vergil is a problematic character who should not be seen as infallible but to straight up go as far as she has just disgusts me. He isnt meant to be seen a good person because DMC5 and the material to go with it shows that the characters are imperfect. If she can stan Kylo Ren, who is FAR more problematic but can't stand to see people who like Vergil, maybe it's less about the plot or how they characterized him and it's more about how she feels that her love of "horror" and whatnot should hold more weight because she feels its dumb.

Vergil is a character where you have to observe him through the lens of what shaped and moulded him and understand that as a character, V was a glimpse into how Vergil really thinks and feels. Urizen is the side of him shaped in no small part by his time as Nelo Angelo, considering that Mundus raised the Qliphoth to also gain the power to rule over hell, as did more than likely Argosax. I can easily bet that both villains killed numerous humans for their goals.

Vergil as a character is a man who was horrifically traumatized as a child and never had help to get through it. He believed his family dead and that the only way to never feel the pain was to seek power, something he tried to do by challenging Mundus after the events of 3!

I'm sorry for the rant but I'm just half tempted to make an AO3 account just so I can make a dissertation on how Vergil as a character is a villain made from his circumstances and his lack of knowledge on how to properly function in a world where he feels that nothing and no one loved him because it hurts to see someone this loud and wrong over a character that while I like him, I'm no stan for.

Tl;Dr: Porg is a hypocrite and cant keep lore straight to save her life. Also I feel that she wouldn't be able to argue against my points for Vergil without devolving to calling me slurs.

She can have whatever dumbfuck opinion she wants on whatever she wants — no one listens to her, so honestly who gives an actual fuck about it. It’s just about getting attention for her, anyway lol. Like. None of this matters to her other than she likes being angry/feeling incensed and she likes the attention she obvs doesn’t get irl. And it ain’t about DMC5 — hasn’t been in ages. You’re literally doing exactly what she wants if you go argue with her.

Like. Why in the world do you think she’d come on to my main account, in front of a potential audience thousands of people, claiming she’d found a post about an entirely different video game when she was allegedly just searching the tags of a completely unrelated TV show and stumbled upon it... only to then get assmad and play victim because it backfired/she got made fun of/IP banned? Attention.

I'm sorry. but.. You do amazing work.. it usually leaves me in tears but. Anxiety an me seems.. I mean it's stupid.. I .. sorry. realy I'm sorry. but your stories with him make me.. feel better?

Of course you may. And it’s not stupid at all

Virgil angst, let’s see…

Word Count: 1,578

Pairings: Moxiety (could be romantic or platonic) and side Logince (romantic)

Warnings: anxiety, panic attacks, allusions to abuse, crying. Hurt/comfort.

It was a fairly quiet night before Patton’s phone rang. His parents weren’t home, they were out of town at some conference, and his brother was upstairs studying, so Patton had the TV in the living room to himself. He was about to hit play on another episode of Parks and Recreation when his phone lit up and began playing “Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” the ringtone he had set for his best friend.

“Hello?” he said, picking up the phone.

At first, he couldn’t hear anything on the other end of the phone, but then a broken sob came through the speakers and Patton jolted upright.

“Virgil? Hello?” he tried again, and this time all he could hear was his friend’s breathing…or rather, his lack thereof as it came in short, strangled gasps.

“Virgil, listen to the sound of my voice, okay?” Patton said, doing his best not to panic. That would only make things worse. “I need you to breathe, alright? Just breathe slowly, and focus on me. I’m right here, okay Virge? Just match my breathing…”

Patton wracked his brain, trying to remember the things that were supposed to help during a panic attack. Controlling your breathing was one of them, and he was doing that…or at least, he hoped he was. He was breathing as steadily as he could, and he thought he heard Virgil’s breath even out over the phone but he wasn’t sure.

“P-pat?” Virgil’s voice was impossibly small through the tiny speaker on Patton’s phone, but even then, he could hear the tremor behind the simple word.

“I’m right here Kiddo, I’m right here with you, you’re gonna be okay, I promise, just…just breathe for me, please Virgil. You can do this…”

Patton’s voice was growing louder as his heartbeat quickened. He had to help, but he couldn’t remember what to do, Virgil needed him and he was being useless…

“Patton?” That voice wasn’t Virgil’s shaky, far away one, it was steady and calm and sure.

Patton looked up to see his older brother standing in the doorway, a confused but concerned look on his face. Patton nearly cried with relief.

“Virgil, Logan’s here. He’s really good at this stuff, remember? I’m gonna put him on and he-”

“n-no…” It was more of a gasp than a word, and Patton wasn’t sure he’d heard correctly until Virgil spoke again. “D-don’t…don’t leave me…”

Patton looked up at Logan helplessly, but thankfully his big brother seemed to understand. He sat down next to Patton on the couch and said quietly:

“Ask him to look for five things he can see.“

“Virgil?” Patton repeated into the phone. “I’m right here, I promise, I’m not leaving…can you look around and tell me five things you can see right now?”

“I- I don’t know…”

“Please Virgil, you can do it, I know you can. Just five little things, that’s all.”

“Um…there’s…there’s a trash can,” Virgil finally said in-between shaky breaths, and Patton nodded.

“That’s great Kiddo, keep going.”

“Streetlamp,” Virgil gasped. “And cracks…cracks in the sidewalk.”

Patton looked up at Logan, his eyes wide with worry. Virgil was outside? Alone, at this time of night? Logan nodded encouragingly at him, and Patton took a deep breath.

“That’s great Virgil, you’re doing so good. Two more now, come on.”

“I…”

“It’s okay Virge, you’re doing fine,” Patton reassured, trying to keep a tremor from his own voice.

“Stoplight. In…at the end of the street, there…there’s a stoplight. And, a car. A car is stopped there.”

“Good,” Patton’s voice cracked and he put a hand over his mouth so Virgil wouldn’t hear him cough to clear his throat. “That was great Virgil, I’m so proud of you…”

“Now four things he can touch,” Logan gently prodded, and Patton repeated the command into the phone.

By the time they finished the exercise, Virgil’s voice was calmer, steadier, and some of the tightness in Patton’s chest was gone.

“I’m sorry,” Virgil said almost as soon as he’d calmed down. “I didn’t mean to bother you, I just didn’t know what else to do, and I-”

“Virgil,” Patton said with as much strength as he could muster. “You’re not bothering me. You’re never bothering me, and you call…you call me anytime you need, alright?”

“I…”

“I mean it, Virgil.”

“O-okay,” Virgil agreed shakily. Then, after a moment’s silence, he added a quiet “Thank you.”

“Virgil…” Patton looked over hesitantly at Logan, who nodded at him again. “Virgil, where…where are you right now?”

“I…” there was a pause, and Patton imagined Virgil looking around as he thought about his answer. “I’m not sure…I wasn’t thinking, I just ran out the door and I kept running and running until I couldn’t anymore, and I couldn’t breathe and I couldn’t think at all, it’s like my brain was frozen, and I don’t know how but I called you, and-”

“Shhhh…” Patton interrupted Virgil before he could spiral out of control again. “It’s okay now Virge, I’m right here. Listen to my voice, okay? Just focus on me, it’ll be alright.’

“I’m sorry,” Virgil mumbled agaig, and Patton wanted nothing more than to crawl through his phone so he could be right there next to Virgil.

“Ask him for a street name,” Logan whispered, already standing up and grabbing his jacket from the back of a nearby chair.

Patton repeated the question, and after a moment Virgil was able to give them one.

“Stay right there, okay Virgil?” Patton said as Logan grabbed his car keys. “We’re coming to get you.”

“Don’t…don’t hang up?” Virgil pleaded, and Patton shook his head.

“I won’t, Virge, I promise. I’m staying right here, I’m not going anywhere, okay?”

Patton kept talking, about what he wasn’t even sure, as Logan drove out of their neighborhood and into the part of town where Virgil was. Once they reached the right street, Logan slowed the car and Patton leaned out his window, scanning the sidewalk desperately for any sign of his friend.

“I…think I see you,” Virgil whispered into the phone just as Logan called out

“There!”

Patton dropped his phone on the seat as he scrambled to exit the car, running towards the small, huddled form of his friend sitting curled up on the sidewalk next to a trash can. Patton stopped a few feet short of Virgil and squatted down in front of him. Virgil’s hood was drawn up against the chill of the evening air, but Patton could still see part of a bruise blossoming on one side of his friend’s face.

“Can I-” he asked as he reached forward hesitantly, not wanting to push against any of Virgil’s boundaries.

Virgil responded by practically flinging himself at Patton, shoulders shaking with fresh sobs as Patton’s arms immediately went around him in a tight hug.

They sat there for awhile, Patton murmuring comforting words into Virgil’s ear while he cried, before Logan approached the pair of them cautiously.

“It’s cold tonight,” he said with an uncharacteristic gentleness. “Why don’t we get out of here, hm?”

Virgil nodded, and let Patton pull him to his feet and lead him to Logan’s car. The two sat pressed together in the backseat; no words were spoken while they drove, but plenty was still said.

They reached home, and Patton wasted no time in wrapping Virgil up in as many blankets as he could find and pressing a warm mug of hot cocoa into his hands.

Logan sat next to them on the couch, and after a few minutes of silence, asked a simple question.

“Do you wish to talk about it?”

Virgil almost immediately shook his head, and Logan nodded once.

“Very well then.” He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone, hitting a few buttons then holding it up to his ear. “Hello, Roman? It’s me…No, I am not calling because I “cannot go a day without hearing your voice.” I’m sure your ego will survive, Roman. Listen, can you come over? And bring your Disney collection. No, I am not “admitting defeat,” Virgil’s here, and….yes. Yes, it is. Yes, Patton is with him. Alright. See you in ten.”

Approximately sixteen minutes later, Roman arrived carrying a bag full of Disney DVDs and a grocery bag filled with junk food.

“Can’t have a marathon without the proper supplies!” Roman declared, dumping the bag’s contents onto the couch, revealing them all to be among Virgil’s favorite snacks and drinks. He popped the first DVD, Tangled, into the player before plopping down on the couch next to Logan, lacing their fingers together and planting a kiss on his cheek. Logan turned slightly pink, but leaned his head on Roman’s shoulder and allowed him to run his fingers through his hair.

Virgil, ever so slowly, began to relax, snuggling closer to Patton as he absently nibbled on a stick of licorice, his eyes glued to the TV. Patton kept an arm wrapped around Virgil’s shoulders, even after the other boy’s eyes drifted closed towards the end of their second movie. Patton looked over to Roman and Logan, who were both watching the pair of them with soft expressions.

Thank you, Patton mouthed, and Roman smiled as Logan nodded.

In the morning, they would talk, try and figure out what to do, and make sure Virgil had whatever support he needed. But for the moment, the four of them were together, they were warm, and they were safe.

And for now, that was enough.

A/N: I hope this was helpful to you, love. Feel better soon.
