Hi, hope this isn't weird- I followed for the Jojo fanart and stayed for the dmcb content. However, I can't fully appreciate the art and other references bc I watched dmcb at least two years ago and all I remember is that time Akira busted a nut so hard it reached the ceiling. In lieu of rewatching the show or reading the manga are you willing to give a rundown of the plot :D be as concise or lengthy as you like and no pressure to actually answer, but I figured you might enjoy the opportunity to infodump to a very eager audience ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Hi there!

Sure, I´ll give you a little summary but first I let know that your message made me laugh really hard, the "nutting in the ceiling" scene is so bizarre that is not surprise that you remember it .

Basically, dmcb is an adaptation of the original Devilman series from the 70, so there are a few changes from the og story in order to reach newer audiences. The og series dealt with themes like the fear of an upcoming war but also made a point to show how humans tend to be selfish and irrational. It wasn´t meant to have a happy ending but rather show our cruel nature.

Crybaby changed the war aspects to show social issues like xenophobia but the ending remained almost the same. (Spoilers: Akira dies at the hands of Satan who then realizes how pointless the war between humans and demons is. This is because he was in love with Akira and now that he´s gone, he feels completely empty).

There are a couple of changes in the main characters too.

Og Akira was a little bit more violent because of the influence of Amon (the demon he fused with) and he wasn´t as sentimental as the crybaby version but he had his human side too.

Ryo (the blonde one) was the one who had more changes. He is still pretty much violent and deranged in the og version but he is way more human, in the sense that he shows way more emotions, allowing himself to be vulnerable. In the manga, when it was revealed that he was Satan it was a little bit more impactful because, while he had his violent tendencies, he still was pretty much a guy fighting alongside his friend to defeat demons and save humanity.

Crybaby Ryo on the other hand was a little bit colder to the point that I and other people who watched the show suspected that something was up with him. (Still love him tho) Also, the fact that he loves Akira is present in every adaptation he's in and is crucial to his character.

I should mention that there are a bunch of adaptations to the manga, the most popular ones are 1987' OVAs and Crybaby but there´s also Amon: Apocalypse of Devilman and a crossover between 009 Cyborg and Devilman. Every one of these has its own take on Akira and Ryo´s design and I tend to use all of them as references.

So, basically the sequents of events goes like this:

_ Ryo takes Akira to the Sabbath where he merges with a demon.

_ They go demon hunting and the story shows Akira trying to manage his new body.

_ There are a couple of demons that almost always are present: Sirene (she´s the one with the wings on her head and he titties out) Kaim (he's always with sirene and simps for her) Jinmen (the turtle) and Zennon (He´s the giant one with three heads).

_At some point the demons realize that Satan was simping way too hard and sacrificed one the strongest demons in order to keep Akira alive in the case of an Apocalypse so they invade the earth to kill al humans.

_Ryo finds out he´s Satan and joins the demons as their lord/god.

_ Miki Makimura (the girl who lived with Akira and the one he ad a crush on) dies in a HORRIBLE way and that prompts Akira to let go of his humanity and desire to live.

_He still wants to kick Satan's ass tho.

_ Satan kills him instead (accidentaly, I guess).

_ While he´s sobbing for the loss of the one he loved, God appears and kills everyone and reestarts the world.

There are two sequels to Devilman (Violent Jack and Devilman Lady) but for the love of Satan don't read them, both of them are incredibly violent and filled with SA. I sometimes draw stuff from Devilman lady (which is the worst one) because I got really attached to some of the characters even if the story they are in is one of the worst things I ever read.

I think I covered some of the essentials if you have more questions feel free to send me another dm. Also I'm sorry if there are some gramatical errors, english is not my first language so I might screw up some sentences.

Character Origins: Macheath Sharpe

Mack has had an… interesting history. They began life in a Discord Pokemon RP… as a Ditto pimp with Quagmire’s face.

Yeah.

There was an in-universe explanation—their boss was a Guzzlord obsessed with Earth pop culture who forced them to watch Family Guy and be a funny moment for his amusement—but it was honestly kind of lame. Even worse, at the end of their first appearance they were abducted by Scrafty gangsters, never to be seen again.

Despite the meaningful name, they were essentially just a one-shot joke character that was overshadowed fairly quickly by the other pimp character I debuted at the same time, Top Dolla AKA Remy Delacroix. Mack wound up discarded and forgotten…

…until I started thinking up Six Shots. I figured a gender-neutral shapeshifter would be interesting. At that point I decided they’d be a villain in a team known as the Judas Society alongside the earliest versions of Amon, Marianna, Rhapsody, and Randall. Of course, the plan was ultimately they would end up turning on Marianna, but yes, they were initially a bad guy, which at first carried over when they debuted as a Ditto-as-Gardevoir in my wife’s Pokémon RP.

This is where Mack got their name changed and shifted the meaning. “Mack” became short for “Macheath” as an allusion to Mack the Knife, and their last name, Sharpe, reflected their power. In addition to regular shapeshifting, they could turn their hands into weapons a la Carnage.

Needless to say, a lot of this was tossed aside so they could become the vampire bar server simping for their boss that we all know and love. Their power was toned down considerably and no longer has any real combat function, and any violent criminal actions were relegated to their past as a highwayman (which at least meant their name was still slightly meaningful). Later on I decided that Sharpe was their mother’s maiden name, and they went by it since they respected her more than their father. Their family name? Fleetwood.

I initially imagined them as having a design close to someone like Anasui from Stone Ocean, though after playing then as a “Gardevoir” I leaned towards imagining them as more feminine. That being said, I have ALWAYS imagined them with a masculine voice (my opinion is that they sound like David Bowie). I’ve also only ever imagined them with purple hair.

My favorite thing I came up with for them is that in the Rhine City universe they are the ones who sang the song known as “The Most Mysterious Song On the Internet.” Very glad to say that @sideburndanny is their #1 fan (they wish Armstrong was, though).

what have u been working on lately for fun 👁👁

HAHA bold of you to assume i’ve been having fun lately

i haven’t but it’s just work bullshit. i be aight probably.

in general i’ve been lightly amusing myself with the role swap au for paramour where amon is the rich one and hya is the butler. due to their positions in canon this au is entirely possible bc

in canon amon was adopted by a middle-upper class family when he was 10-11 but he ran away due to not wanting to be forced to be someone he wasn’t (they wanted to change his name etc etc). after he ran away is when he met his gang (including erecia) tm. in this au tho instead of running away he would’ve stayed with the family and accepted them as his parents etc. his legal name would be coriandrum farrah but he still goes by amon bc he likes his name. he wouldn’t know the gang/erecia etc but his personality is still pretty similar. growing up in halifax (or the slums) does a number to ya lol. only difference is that he’s more openly (mentally?) thirsty about hya and while still secretive, isn’t necessarily as Malicious with it as canon.

bc hya is an illegitimate child anyway, if his father cast him aside instead of keeping him from his mother to try and control her, hya would’ve ended up with her regardless. she would keep his name as is (fully hyacinthus) but instructs him to go by shortened versions of his name once he’s older to not draw attention to himself. hya is also very similar in this au tho i’d say he’s more mellow than canon; simply bc he grew up around someone who loves him and not neglected and in the shadow of his better off siblings. he does know his father was wealthy but doesn’t know who he was or anything about his siblings & pretty much vice versa except tagetes knows he exists bc of course they do.

anyway in this au hya gets hired to work at amon’s family’s estate as a butler and even though hya is grouchy and not interested in doing his job 98% of the time (he’s still spoiled even tho he doesn’t have $$ lmao) amon keeps him around bc (1) hya’s hot and amon is a simp it’s so fucking FUNNY (2) he’s actually intrigued by hya and kind of wants to know him more. however things get interesting when they unintentionally uncover stuff about who hya actually is and other stuff falls into place.

it’s actually a much more tame storyline than actual paramour bc there isn’t any death (so huzzah aloe is alive!) or any of the more horror esque elements of paramour going on.

really this whole au is an excuse to be in amon’s head and see how weak he is for hya bc bitch same 😭

so stuff i’ve wrote for it so far are here & here. but i’ve mostly been daydreaming about it

#i really just wanted to see amon being a simp that’s why this au exists #also bc #i think it’s a shame myrtus and amon don’t know each other in canon they’d get along p well #role swap au
