Imagine dating Vergil and him stabbing himself with the Yamato, summoning V to de-escalate the situation when you two argue because he has no idea how to deal with human emotions.

[mariyekos]

One thing I find fascinating is the question if whether Vergil would have done anything different re:DMC3 if he'd known about Nero.

If he knew he had a son, would he have abandoned his plans for the Temen-ni-gru because they were too risky and he'd rather care for what he had? Maybe, maybe not. He knew he had a relative in Dante and that didn't stop him, but Dante was able to survive without him (even if Vergil did help him out by unlocking his Trigger! Which is another thing I find fascinating- the question of whether or not Vergil did it on purpose). Nero would be a baby though, so would having a family member who couldn't survive on his own make Vergil drop everything to care for him? Would he decide to put off raising the Temen-ni-gru until Nero could protect himself?

Or would having a baby who couldn't protect himself make Vergil even more determined to raise the Temen-ni-gru, get the Force Edge, and get Sparda's power? Would Vergil decide that Nero would be safe in the hands of others for a short while, while Vergil worked to get the power to protect him? Would Vergil think the risk was worth the reward? This is my favorite interpretation, but I like both. (Plus, it then leads to the great post-DMC5 conversation of Nero asking Vergil if knowing about him would've changed everything, and Vergil slowly answering no, it probably wouldn't have. It should, but it wouldn't have. And Nero can't tell whether Vergil really regrets that or not).

Even if you don't think so.

@mamster-gagglebucks has sent a letter:

Hey, first off I love your writing so dearly, it's wonderful! I have a question and possible trope. I read what Dante, Virgil, and Nero would do if they were with a chubby lover, and how they would react if someone else insulted them for their weight. But what would they do if the one insulting their weight is themself? Like their lover with insecurities that leads them to belittling or putting their own body down? How would they respond?

Terribly sorry for the belated response to this, nearly a year since you first put in the request, but here she comes: a sequel to The More to Love. Crazy to think that it also been a year since that post came out way back in October. Regardless, please enjoy the boys comforting their chubby lover.

Dante

He isn’t a stranger to being concerned with the way he looks. Just human enough to pass, but if you looked, really looked at him you’d see it… the demon inside. He was worried you’d be scared of that when the two of you started dating. Truth be told, he was ready to embrace the frightened look he’d inevitably see in your eyes when he’d have to trigger his devil form. The fiery red scales and the inferno broiling around him deterred lesser demons, but they didn’t scare you. You, in all of your beauty and grace, held his face in your hands after the threat was dealt with. You called him pretty. Pretty! And just like that, his doubts were washed away, gone to the wind when he picked you up into his arms. 

So why was it that you could accept that part of him– every part of him–, but not yourself? Why were you so mean to… to you? 

The way you put yourself down in front of him irks him because how could anyone think such nasty things? I’m too fat, you said, I’d be prettier if I weren’t… and you, you deserve to be with someone who isn’t– 

“Who isn’t… what? So charming? So… sexy?”, he chimed in, getting in the way of your words. It’s all bullshit. He wouldn’t stand for it, and neither should you(even if you’re talking about yourself here.) 

“I don’t get what the issue is here”, he did, but this was something you needed to hear. You needed to know that he didn’t care about your weight or how you looked. You didn’t care about how he looked. 

Before you know it, he’s taken your hands into his own, looking at you with those pretty eyes of his. The eyes you adore. The eyes that bear down on you with nothing but adoration. 

“Sorry to burst your bubble, but you’re fine just as you are. Got that?”, his voice comes out in that hushed little drawl, just for you. 

Dante’s thumbs brush over your hands as he lets go of them to hold your face. 

“But…–”

“No buts!”, he declares, moving closer to wrap his arms around your form. 

His hands are gentle as they are possessive as they coil around you. He’s warm. In the warmth of his embrace, does he give you an appreciative squeeze, leaning his head down to kiss the top of your head. 

“... but if you do want help with that, I’d be more than willing to lend ya hand. We can eat healthier… and exercise, if that’s what you want”

If there were any tears or quiet sobs in the silence, he waits to hear your response. Or, at the very least, wait for you to bring your arms around him. 

“... okay”, you sniffle, “Thank you, Dante”, you smile into his shoulder. 

He has to bite his tongue, only because you’re so damn cute.

Vergil

He can’t understand why this would possibly ever be a problem, or how you could think such things about your body. If it wasn’t causing you any physical discomfort, what was the issue here? Why would he think you’re unattractive because you’re plump? Quickly, before any other more insults towards yourself can leave your mouth, he cuts you off. 

“That is enough”, he’s frowning, but that’s his usual expression. It’s not a matter of what he thinks, but a matter of what you think and how you perceive yourself. Of which is not to his liking, it would not be the first time you’ve said something he did not agree with. 

“If you’re unhappy with the way that you look, then we can change it, but I don’t ever want to hear you say such things about yourself again”, his gaze is cast elsewhere for a moment before he reaches out to you. Tentative, allowing you the choice of whether you want to move into him or not. 

It’s not threatening you, is it? Another thought that comes to mind is if someone else has said something about your weight to you… perhaps a family member or acquaintance of some sort. He doesn’t know to what extent you’ve endured such negativity about yourself for, but he’ll be damned if he’ll let you suffer it for any longer. You aren’t too much of anything, not to him. You’re you, and if there is anything that’s right in this god forsaken world, then it would be you. Not what anyone else thinks, or even what he thinks for that matter. 

“Do you really believe that?”, he asks, his brow furrowing as his gaze finds you again. 

Do you really think those things about yourself? 

“... What if I can’t keep up with you, what if I weigh you down? I don’t want to be… I don’t want to be a burden to you”, are the words you say to him. 

Oh how it burns. How it hurts to hear you think that you could ever be that to him. 

“You never have been, you never will be… regardless of whatever form or shape you are”, he brushes your cheek with the pad of his thumb. That cold stare has thawed, becoming like gentle snow as it catches you. 

The relief that washes over you when you hear his words is a balm to the weariness that plagues you. You tried to brace yourself for his rejection, expecting it to come with an easy or reluctant dismissal, but it never came. His reassurance, his vow, it’s almost overwhelming. Yet he is unyielding, as he ever is. Vergil presses his forehead against yours, letting you cry to get it out of your system. He is here, and here he shall always be, even if you think he ‘deserves’ better or if you’re unsatisfied with yourself. 

He was unsatisfied with himself at one point.

Nero

“What are you talking about..?”, it catches him off guard when he sees you so crestfallen in front of a mirror. 

You had been holding your stomach, gritting your teeth together as you started to list off all the things you thought was wrong with yourself. Always hungry, too pudgy, not enough. Before you can continue he’s already walking closer to you, both hands raised, not that you wanted him to leave or to back off. 

“Woah, woah, woah– stop that… You’re… you’re not too fat for me”, you could hear the waver in his tone, the dip in his voice when he said ‘fat’. Like a puppy whining, as if he had been the one to be scolded. 

Nero tried to figure out what to do with his hands, until they reached to settle on yours. He didn’t pull them away from yourself, but he seemed to be trying to figure out what was wrong. His eyes were searching yours, hoping to find an answer in the depths of them, through the tears and the red puff as you cried. 

“Where is this coming from?”, you hadn’t ever… he didn’t think this would be something you’d be hung up on. “Listen to me, you’re not too fat and being fat doesn’t make you ugly or unattractive at all. I like you like this”, he says quickly, before his hands move up to cup your cheeks. His thumbs brush under your eyes to wipe away the tears as you stand there, hiccuping your breaths, trying to keep it in. 

“Come on, breathe… it’s okay to cry- was it something I said?”, he asks, one brow cocked in concern as he tries to think back on if he had ever mentioned anything about your weight. He could be such an idiot sometimes, and he hoped that he hadn’t made an off handed comment that could’ve spurred you to take it out on yourself, but you had shook your head. 

“You didn’t say anything, Nero…”, you managed when you had started to take breaths for yourself. 

He almost let out a sigh of relief, but you were still upset, and he wanted to get to the bottom of it. Really, what… or who, made you cry? Who made you think such awful things about yourself? 

“So why are you… who put all of those dumb thoughts in your head then?”, he asks. 

Who hadn’t? With all the skepticism, all the judgement made on your figure… it was hard to pinpoint where it all began, if not when. When you calm down a bit more, you look into the blue of his eyes, wanting to hear it from him again. 

“Did you really mean that, earlier… when you said you like me like this?”, you ask. 

“Every bit”, he nods, going to kiss your forehead, “And there’s nothing that can ever change that”

[multi-fandom-imagine]

May I please request headcanons for Dante reacting to his female S/O sacrificing herself during a fight against a powerful demon so he and everyone else can escape? Happy ending please 😭

A/n: I miss writing for DMC, I need to replay that game again. I do apologize if this sucks.

Did not realize what you were about to do until it was too late, he did not even have a chance to react since Nero was already pulling him away.

He tried to put up a fight, god did he try but he was already to injured, to tired, to weak. He should have been stronger. He should have been able to protect you....but he didn't.

"Get your fucking hand's off of me." Dante did his best to struggle agains't Nero. "I have to go back to her. I'm not going to let her sacrifice herself."

Gritting his teeth, Nero did his best to pull him away, away from you. Away from where you were fighting that demon. He was not about to let your sacrifice he in vein, you did this so they could escape. "Cut the shit...she did this to save us....we need to go."

Hates himself, he should have been stronger, why was he so weak. Feel's worthless, so much doubt fills his mind. Did he really do the right thing? Why did he leave you alone, he should have died with you.

He felt numb, treating his own wounds, he hated that he was safe while you were gone.

It make's him sick how he'll never see your smile again, hear your laugh again. He just wants to hold you in his arms.

"That was a...damn good distraction." A weak laugh escaped your lips. You had a limp in each step you took. You were covered in cuts, scraps, hell the man wasn't even sure how bad your wounds were but you were alive....you were alive!

Your name spilled from his lips as he rushed to you, he ignored Lady and Triss, Nico and Nero. He had yo hold you, he needed to feel you in his arms.

"Fuck, you look good doll." Dante tried to remain strong, tried to remain his flirty self but he couldn't. Seeing you here, feeling you against his chest. He couldn't help but break down.

"I love you." Dante whispered into your neck, tears damping your skin.

Letting your fingers slowly run down his back, you relaxed into his embrace. "I love you too."

The long awaited sequel to This Comic

My headcanons about Vergil's bad traits

♥ because life is not a bed of roses

just my silly hc about the bad side of his personality or things i think he can't do, anyways, we love him the way he is <3

★ He used to shut out people a lot and avoided talking properly about problems, Vergil wanted to show his superiority and power trying to make the others think about the situation without properly solving it, and also, it's damn hard for him to say out loud when he's wrong.

★ Hides his emotions a lot, Vergil won't admit what he's feeling because he's afraid of getting vulnerable and weak, sometimes this also goes for good emotions, these are probably the ones he consider to show more vulnerability.

★ Professional in the art of the awkward silence, it's really complicated for him to pull up conversations or keep them going, Vergil will start to look around, avoid eye contact and clean his throat constantly in a casual conversation.

★ If Vergil is too deep into something that's he's doing and failing, he won't stop till he get it right, even if it drains all his patience, he won't give a break, this also makes him a overworker, trying to finish things all at once.

★ He's insecure, Vergil can be a master at fighting demons, but all the time he spent isolated made any kind of relationship with other people a challenge, after all, he'll secretly think he's ruining all the fun by not being so active like the others.

★ BAD AT COOKING, my man spent years trapped in hell, never touched a pan this whole time, you really think he knows what he's doing inside a kitchen?

★ Overprotective, Vergil will always be afraid of loosing the things or the people he cherish, this can lead him to think he's the only one that can protect something.

★ (DMC3 Vergil specifically) Thinks he's better and superior to anyone, but doesn't realize how naive this is.

★ His awareness can be a bit dangerous sometimes, since he can pull the Yamato really quickly and end up hurting someone he thought it was a threat.

★ Won't ask for help to do something he knows won't be able to finish or learn by himself, he'll wait for someone to offer support. “Alright, I suppose I'll allow you to join me this time...”

★ Vergil is a jealousy person, and like most of his emotions, he'll reprehend it and won't talk about it, getting afraid of loosing something will lead him to get jealous very quickly.

★ If you get yourself in trouble, he's going to save you and then scold you, talking about how you shouldn't have done this, listened to him and how dangerous that was, maybe that's just his way to show he's concerned and cares.

★ Extremely hard headed, this makes him kind of a stiffy person, he won't see a second option for certain situations even if there's another, though, this also means he'll always fight for his his ideals and defend his opinions, it's not easy to change his mind.

★ Struggle to rely on others, this leads Vergil to push people away or refuse new connections, things are going to be fine if he stays in his social comfort zone.

★ Difficulty to react to certain things people say, I feel like at a specific point in his life, Vergil would get full of himself when receiving compliments because he thought that was a good reaction, while he got older, realized that being overconfident it's annoying and actually push people away, so now he doesn't know how to react to compliments and can act all awkward that doesn't express his genuine feelings.

[constantlyfeelsick]

Would transfem Dante change her name? And if she would, what would she even change it to?

Personally I'm not sure about either. I dont think she would choose to change her name because being 'Dante', both the name and the facade, are important parts of her identity. In the DMC1 novel, Dante choosing to live as Dante instead of Tony is a key moment in her life because it's her overcoming part of her truama and learning to accept herself just a bit more.

But she could also do all of that all over again, choose another name, and learn to accept herself just a bit more.

Dante and Vergil rocking it out on guitar hero !!!

Headcanon: the only game Vergil can beat Dante in is fruit ninja (by the smallest margin)

[bitterlycursedstars]

I firmly believe that V/Vergil would absolutely not cheat on you.

As lonely as that poor man has been, I just cannot see it happening. He'd love and cherish you and never abandon you, after you get through his defensive wall, of course. I just do not see him seeking out another's company if he already has you.

And no, I'm not counting when he left LiR, he was a dumbass teenager who was blinded by his own thoughts and terrible past, and on top of that, I believe it was just a ONS

[duvewing]

[mariyekos]

I know Dante and Vergil are half human, half demon, but I like to think that they still struggle more with giving into demonic desires/instincts because of how much stronger demonic desires are compared to human ones.

Most of the time, base human instincts are like a whisper. There are things they do unconsciously of course, but those conscious desires themselves are often more like suggestions than orders. Demonic instincts, on the other hand, are like an unignorable scream. They're loud, they're frequent, and they beg to be listened to. So yes, you could say Dante and Vergil's demonic instincts might be halved, but when you halve an ear-splitting scream, you still get yelling or at least a raised voice. When you halve a whisper, you hardly have a breath. So even if they're only half demon, that doesn't mean it's an equal half when it comes to instincts and desires. It just means those instincts/desires are less strong than a full demon's.

I also like to think that in general, demons tend to feel in extremes. Their feelings don't generally align with common human emotions- especially not pleasant ones like love or happiness, feeling something more akin to satisfaction or pride for the latter- but when they feel, they feel. Their lives are intense ones. Sky high rage, frustration, a sense of betrayal, purpose... Humans feel those thing too, of course, but I'd like to imagine that humans experience much more of a sliding scale in their daily lives. Yes, humans CAN feel extreme rage, just as they can feel extreme happiness, but they tend to go through different levels of emotion rather than hopping from 0 to 100 like demons tend to do. They'll start at a 15, slide up to a 50, then descend to a 30 in a matter of minutes. Most humans exist in the middle ranges for most of their day-to-day existence. Demons on the other hand can also feel a 30 or 50 or 70 or so on, but that's not something that comes as naturally to them. Their daily existence is one that flips between extremes. Older demons like Sparda tend to have a better grip on their emotions, but that's something that comes with power and lived experience. An artificial demon like Trish does too, because her existence itself isn't quite as extreme; being a manufactured being, she's better able to keep a level head. That and they both want to emulate humanity to some extent, which helps them keep cool.

So what you end up with is a pair of campion who, especially in Dante's case, tend to feel more demonic than human because their demon half is just plain stronger. Having a 50-50 split of blood does not mean they have a 50-50 split of habits or desires.

(And an extension of this would be the idea that at times their demonic halves only get stronger because of the human blood in them. Demons feed on humans and human blood can empower demons, so by having a constant supply of it, they're constantly running on a bit of a high. For them it's just standard, but it does end up meaning their demonic sides end up stronger than they should be even considering the 50-50 split and the fact that demonic instincts should be stronger in the first place. It's what happens when you indulge; when you grant yourself that first indulgence, your mind learns to want or need that indulgence, and even of you stop, it'll always think back to it, like an addiction.)
