Lady: Wait, what do you mean that kid is Vergil’s son?!

Dante: Exactly what you think it mean.

Lady: When did he even get the time to even-

Dante: I rather not think about that.

Lady: Well, how did he take it?

Dante: Take what?

Lady: The news! About his father?

Dante: Are you insane?! I’m not going to tell the poor kid anything about his family!

Lady: What?! He should know who his father is! Hell, he might think you’re his father!

Dante: And if that’s the case then I’ll step the hell up to the challenge, because that’s a better outcome then him finding out Vergil’s his father!

Lady: What?! Why?!

Dante: ‘Why?’ I don’t know, maybe because *imitates a casual voice* Hey Nero, it’s me, your uncle. That’s right, you’re the son of my brother, who you have never met before. He was a huge fan of genocide and killed thousands of people. Remember that one giant tower that appeared one day. You know, the one that spawned thousands of demons which killed nearly everyone in the city? That’s your old man. I killed him twice by the way.

Lady:……

Dante: Now how the hell do you expect the kid to act to news like that?

Lady:….okay, fair point.

Ah, so the sibiling bloody brutality was already a thing.....

I think it's extremely goddamn interesting that the main thesis statement Vergil's character arc was not that the acquisition of power was wrong (as demonstrated by how Nero and Dante both come to terms with needing power) but that his idea of what power is was wrong. Dante presents power as the choice over right and wrong, and Nero arrives at the same conclusion as his father that "without power you cannot protect anything". The difference is they are both internalizing the idea of power, drawing it from within themselves.

Vergil externalizes his desire for power, always trying to take it from something or someone, like it is something to be stolen or have stolen from you. When he is finally out of external sources of power to take, he is forced to cut out the parts of himself that he considers an obstacle to power, literally externalizing his own identity as something to blame for his weakness.

At the point when he is finally able to accept the responsibility of drawing power from within himself, he has already been stripped of all the external power he depended on. He can only recover from the damage he did by splitting between V and Urizen through both halves finally accepting themselves. It's his confrontation with Nero that cements this positive change. He witnessed Nero's entire journey to confronting Urizen through V, and knows for a fact that Nero's growth was entirely under his own means. He didn't pick up any fancy devil arms, get any family hand-me-downs, or do anything other than be downright diehard stubborn. And obviously per the unlocking of his devil trigger at the end, this somehow works. (And of course, this reflects Nero's own journey of self realization as he grows past the need for the power the Yamato gave him.)

Vergil's newfound willingness to be amicable and accept responsibility must in part be because he realizes he no longer has to confront others to get the power he needs. His world stopped being about who's holding him back or keeping him from what he desires.

Sunny: Hey Omori! Your trauma-repressing days are over. Give me the truth.

Omori: If you want it... then you'll have to take it.

(Omori gets off his throne as the hands retract)

Omori: But you already knew that.

Sunny: I had a feeling you'd say that...

(Sunny summons his violin)

Omori: How many times have we fought?

Sunny: Hard to say, it's the memory I have of us since I created you.

(Both Sunny & Omori smile at each other)

Sunny: Time to finish this Omori. Once and for all!

(Omori pulls out his knife as they prepare to battle)

See, I don't remember why you sent these DMC Omori asks, but I feel like this'd work better with Mari as Dante and Sunny as Virgil. And then the Headspace gang would work as V and the like.

Because ok, we firmly believe that Virgil is a system thanks to DMC 5. Like, it's not even subtle honestly. Griffon, Shadow, and Nightmare are literally alters that were expelled from Urizen along with V when he became Urizen, they literally say they're "discarded thoughts from when he was Nelo Angelo" and are "no longer bound to his consciousness", they're sentient creatures who can think for themselves and do their own thing, it's not a question for me. V and Urizen also kinda count but they were made by the Yamato separating Virgils human and demon sides from eachother and possibly fused together mentally aswell as physically (though that might be up to personal interpretation. The manga, from what I remember, might leave the door open for V to still be in there somewhere since he just gives the mental representation of the book to lil Virgil and then it shows Virgil back i think??? I need to read that manga i cant remember the page im thinking of well at all) but I still think they count as alters and Viegil feels very very plural to us. And Sunny is also very plural to us sooooo yeah. It makes sense eto combine em :p.

Yadda yadda, I'm getting off track, the point is I think I could slot the Headspace gang into V and the Familiars (New band name woo!!!) pretty well!!!

Like, one way you could do it is that V Sunny could be the regular old Omori while the Urizen Sunny could be Omor Boss Fught Omori. Or V Sunny could be the fucked up zombie Sunny you see in the mirror during the truth sequence while Urizen is Omori (or vice versa) [also tangent but I always liked it whenever Pre-Truth Sunny is represented as that zombie, both because I feel like that's a good way to represent how he probably feels after Stair Con 19XX but also because I dunno I think it's a cool look. Like the tall Onryo Mari in the mirror. You don't see art of them often and I like em], or V is Stranger and Urizen is Omori. There's alot of ways you could go with those two honestly!!!

Either way the Headspace gang fit neatly into the Familiars. Maybe Hero as Nightmare is a bit of a stretch but I think Aubrey could slot into Shadow pretty well (maybe as a big pink bunny instead of a shadow panther) and Kel as Griffon. I think that makes sense.

I'm kinda fuzzy while typing this out so I'm not sure where I'm going with this but yeah!!! I think Snuuy should be allowed to Judgement Cut End. As a treat (*^‿^*)

[minticecodes]

I'm slowly getting through devil may cry v and got inspired enough to doodle again. Sure they aren't polished but I love looking at others' sketch dumps, it's like looking at a smorgasbord of ideas. So here you go. Read more for close ups of the other doodles. The ID in alt are the same as written in the text.

[I.D. Digital art. A boy in a shirt hoodie, Nero, sits cross legged as he leans backwards to smile up at his companion. Said companion is a tall horned knight, Nelo Angelo, kneeling behind Nero. Nelo gazes to the side, but braces his broadsword by Nero, and his cape drapes around where Nero's sitting. Nero is rendered in light blue and red, Nelo is rendered in light blue, and they're brightly illuminated. End I.D.]

(Was thinking of 'Love Seeketh Not Itself to Please' by Indigomoods on ao3 while doing this one).

[I.D. A number of digital art sketches, most prominently featuring Dante and Vergil from the Devil May Cry series. From top to bottom, right to left:

Headshots of two boys, Dante and Vergil. Short comic of a man (Dante) ruffling a boy's (Vergil's) hair. Sketch of two boys on a couch, one (Dante) looking concerned at the other (Vergil) in foetal position. Branches curl under the couch. Sketch of child Dante and Vergil in red and blue, running hand in hand. Thumbprint sized chibi child Dante and Vergil. Nero and Nelo sitting together.

Semirealistic headshot (DMCV Vergil) in blue. Boy (Dante) curled in a fire, and fire demon (SDT Dante) gazing at his palm against a black background. Loose sketches of a man's head, roughly scribbled out except one, and an angry cat with a sword. They're labelled in blue and red writing. Side profile of a young man in blues (DMC3 Vergil), face shadowed, a yellow ribbon curled in the background. Side profile of DMC3 Vergil. End I.D.]

[I.D. 4 black and white digital pen cartoony sketches of child Dante and Vergil. Head and bust shot of a boy with slicked back hair and black turtleneck (Vergil) looking right. His brows are furrowed, eyes narrowed; he looks unimpressed. Below is a head and bust shot of a boy with shoulder length hair and white shirt (Dante) looking left with wide eyes and a fang toothed, wide grin. Centre close up of a cloaked boy (Vergil) glaring up, brow furrowed. His hair hangs over a shadowed face. One narrowed eye is visible. Right sketch is of a cloaked boy (Vergil) hugging a book to his chest, referencing a Visions of V panel. His one visible eye is wide as he gazes down with a small expression. End I.D.]

[I.D. Coloured digital art over a black background. Two panels. Panel one is child Dante, arms hugging his legs as he sits within a fire raging around him. He's buried his face in his arms. Panel two is an adult Dante in his demonic SDT form. He gazes down at his clawed hand while the fiery core in his chest glows as the main source of light, casting shadows and red light against his armoured form. The tips of his claws seem to glow in the reflected light. End I.D.]

[I.D. Messy sketch of child Vergil and Dante, running hand in hand. The two look at each other with smiles, Dante with a wide grin and Vergil with closed lips and determined brows. Their full expressions aside from the smile cannot be seen; Dante's hair whips back and covers his face while Vergil's face is eyeless. They're softly rendered in light blue and red, and bright lighting. End I.D.]

[I.D. Messy sketch of child Vergil and Dante sitting on a couch, shot from behind the couch. Dante directs a concerned gaze to Vergil, his hand braced on the couch back as he leans closer. Vergil only looks down. His arms are curled around his knees. From the angle, his expression cannot be seen aside from a small frown. Under the couch slithers Qliphoth tree roots. End I.D.]

[I.D. Chibi doodle of child Vergil and Dante, holding hands. Light blue and red ovals were airbrushed on the page, and a pen lined out their features. They have round cheek patches, like budgies. Vergil has a cartoony pout and a book tucked under an arm, labelled with a V; Dante has a toothy grin and is making a bunny ears hand sign. End I.D.]

[I.D. 'DANTE' is evenly block printed in blue pen. Underneath are what looks to be the start of three portraits of Dante in black pen, but they're roughly scribbled out. The most detailed of the three scribbled out portraits is Dante's grinning side profile. He had sunglasses on. The only intact portrait is a shot of Dante from behind, from the chest up and face not visible aside from a grin. Carried on his back is the Devil Sword Dante, rendered in more detail than Dante.

Meanwhile 'VERGIL' is written in orange/red pen, but strikethroughed. Written above instead is 'PURR-GIL!!', an arrow pointing at a doodle of a cat holding a roughly drawn katana(Yamato). The cat is grimacing with furrowed brows. It has spiky fur on its head, a spiky curled tail, a thorn pattern on its arms resembling Vergil's coat sleeves, and fat round blushy cheeks. End I.D.]

[I.D. Semirealistic rendering of DMCV Vergil from the neck up in three quarter view. He's painted in blues, with soft red shadows. He glares at the viewer, brows furrowed. His irises are a soft red, and he has eye bags. His lips are somewhat glossy. To the side is the blue color palette. End I.D.]

[I.D. Stylised depiction of DMC3 Vergil glaring downwards in profile, from the chest up. He's rendered in blues, his face shadowed from the light against his back. Running over his skin are cracked gold lines, reminiscent of kintsugi. In the background curls a yellow ribbon in the same gold. He's wearing a sleeveless turtleneck and cravat. End I.D.]

[I.D. Stylised black and white lineart of DMC3 Vergil glaring in profile, lips sneering, from the neck up. He's in a coat and cravat. End I.D.]

[I.D. Messy comic.

Panel 1: DMCV Dante ruffling child Vergil's hair. Dante's face is out of the panel

Vergil (grimacing): "Dante!"

Panel 2: Vergil's staved off the hair ruffling, lifting up Dante's hand with both his hands. His brows are furrowed as he looks up at Dante. In the background is a laughing sound effect, that tapers off. 'HA HA ha...'

Panel 3: Adult Dante gazing down at child Vergil, arm hovering over him. His expression seems sad, despite the small smile.

Dante: ... I missed ya, Verge.

Vergil gazes up at Dante, a small question mark by his head. End I.D.]

…

They gone? Okay

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO REALIZED THAT V HAS EVA’S GREEN EYES? LIKE WHEN VERGIL SEPARATED HIS HUMAN HALF FROM HIS DEMON ONE, IT LOOKS LIKE HE SEPARATED HIS MOTHER’S GENETICS FROM HIS FATHER’S GENETICS?

Pls I can’t be the only one man… (it’s a kinda match BUT STILL)

Also…

Why does Vergil/V look like Eva and Dante looks like Sparda? Like damn, they are really opposites.

(Yes I like V and Vergil and they are my hyperfixation , leave me be. Sponsored by @albifacies having to hear me rant about this.)

(If everyone knew this, sorry. I can be slow.)
