A little bit ago it was Father's Day (for me anyways)! Now I want you to tell me how DMC characters celebrate Father's Day.

Hello again!

I imagine Dante and Vergil both just keep to themselves, much like on Mother's Day. They're both probably down in the dumps.

Nero just glares at Vergil from across the room as he reads his book. He's still not quite over having his arm taken.

Lady seems the type to drink heavily that day, seeing as how she was destroyed after killing her father, even though he was awful.

Nico probably stands outside the van, shooting up in the air while hooting and hollering.

DMC 5 did a great thing a gave us dates! It also gave us a Patty cameo that revealed it's her birthday on May 3rd. So my question for you is, how will her next birthday go after DMC 5?

The heady scent of incense burned through the air, the dark night sky hidden behind curtains so thick they felt as if they could keep the entire world at bay. Furniture pushed to one side of the room, scratch marks still visible in the parquet floor. It was now or never.

She was alone. She had never felt so alone. Desperate. No matter how many people she surrounded herself with, no matter how many flashy names with their flashy smiles and even flashier cars, she never felt safe anymore. Those marionettes with the double-barrelled surnames that had never stared down death and been protected by the barrel of a gun. They didn't understand. They could never understand. How could they, unless they had seen what she had seen? She wasn't cruel enough to wish that on anybody.

She remembered a simpler time, when she was told everything would be okay if she closed her eyes. When she dared to trust a stranger, in eternal optimism that there were good people she could trust, and she would be taken care of. Rescued.

It was her turn to do the rescuing now. She closed her eyes and took a breath.

The sigils outlining the circle began to glow as she fell to her knees and slapped bloodied palms on the floor. She recited the words, not knowing exactly what they meant but trusting them anyway. Lady would be furious, but what she didn't know wouldn't hurt her. She poured every ounce of hope she possessed into every syllable she uttered. They came from her gut now, and from the darkest recesses of her heart.

She felt pressure, pressing on her from all sides, suffocating, but she pressed on. She had spent months nurturing her skills, learning the words down to the last inflection and growl. She'd be damned if she would give up now. Giving up was not a phrase in Patty's vocabulary.

The pressure reached a crescendo, crushing her chest inward and pushing her down toward the floor, bowing to a deity not even there, but with the last demonic growl the sigils disappeared from sight, the magic poured into them spent, and the room was draped in darkness once more. She leaned forward, bowing her head, trying desperately to hold herself upright and hear anything beyond the rushing of blood through her ears. Darkness.

---

Heavy breathing, then the glow of a small summoned sword faintly lights the room with blue. Eyes immediately pick out the girls silhouette, slumped on her side but knees still drawn up toward her chest. A flash of red - he knows that silhouette.

"...Patty?"

She feels him speak more than she hears it, and cracks her eye open, frowning against the pain in her head and rubbing her forehead against the cool wooden floor. He's beside her in an instant.

She knew what to say: she had spent almost as much time daydreaming about it as she had studying the dark arts she would need to make it happen.

"You're a whole year late, you know."

What sort of things would the DMC characters be into? What would their favorite medias be, who would their favorite characters be, their favorite dynamics, their favorite ships? Favorite things about it? Would they try and have any involvement in the fandom space online? If so, what sort of involvement?

I feel like dante and vergil would have been mlp kids. Dante would have liked rainbow dash and vergil would have liked twilight.

Nero probably likes transformers rescue bots because they’re cool. He would’ve liked chase.

[dante-winning-archive]

Dante?

favorite thing: It's hard to choose, but I think what initially attracted me to him is that despite everything he's been through, he's a good dude. Like in the anime, there were times where it seemed like Dante wouldn't help someone, but in the end he'd do what they needed him for.

least favorite thing: the implication that he was gonna kill Vergil or die trying, forever leaving Nero in the dark. I understand why, but still...

favorite line: "He's your father!" It's really the delivery of the line that puts it at the top of my list.

brOTP: Lady and Dante are ride-or-die besties in my heart.

OTP: me and Dante. I really don't ship him with anyone.

nOTP: with Vergil and/or Nero

random headcanon: he likes pineapple on pizza

unpopular opinion: he likes pineapple on pizza

song I associate with them: RAM RANCH

favorite picture of them: look at the way he has to bend his knees to put her down. It's so cute.

Halloween is right around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than to think up a DMC plot that fits into the horror genre, any section you want.

dmc2 is a horror because of how much it sucks

on a more serious note, dmc1 is probably the most horror-esque of the series

[jangmo-othewarrior]

DMC Questions Anon here!

What characters do you headcanon on the Aromantic Spectrum?

Hot take: Dante! He has so much 'I pretend I have sexual and romantic attraction because society' energy to me.

I think it's funny if Trish in DMC 1 was instructed to use her body to get Dante to go to the island, but he literally only went for revenge. That's it. And after Dante is like 'I mean, I guess you're attractive? Maybe?' And Lady is completely unbothered by it all.

Alao the idea that Vergil thought Nero was Dante's kid would be the funniest shit to everyone except Vergil. Like you think that Dante had sex? That he was in a romantic relationship? Bruh, you really haven't been in his life.

A side effect at this is that Dante gives really good romantic advice because he's always objective. Nero will pine over what to wear to see Kyrie and Dante'll say 'Just wear what makes you comfortable, if she loves you, which she clearly does, she wouldn't want you to be uncomfortable.' And then he takes a bite of pizza, completely unfazed.

Patty also uses this trait of Dante's to full effect, often using him as a vibe checker. because his instincts are just that good.

What do you think are the biggest fears of each of the DMC cast (that you want to talk about)?

Some of these or more evident than others I think.

Vergil for instance, is basically stated to be most afraid of being powerless in Visions of V, and that's basically what started the plot of DMC 5.

For Dante, there's less explicitly said about it, but I think he's most afraid of being alone, which is interesting considering how he pretty consistently tries to inflict this on himself, though that's mostly because it goes hand in hand with his other biggest fear, which is the people he cares about dying because of him, spawned mostly from his time as Tony Redgrave (thanks Gil).

Nero is also afraid of being powerless, though it's more specifically not being strong enough to save the people he loves, as shown by the pre DMC 4 demon attack with Kyrie, the death of Credo, and climaxing in stopping Dante and Vergil from killing each other.

The rest would basically be up to head cannon, but let's say that Trish is most afraid of losing her free will (huge missed opportunity in 5), and Lady is most afraid of being betrayed like her father did to her, which is why she acts so abrasive.

I'm not really confident about any others, but I'm sure someone has thought of something really neat with Patty and Kyrie and Credo etc.

Also, obligatory Gilver mention: Gil is probably afraid of being inferior to the Sons of Sparda. He was designed to be a perfect combination of their combat data after all, it only makes sense that he's better than both of them. He of course isn't, hence his big nonverbal freakout upon his death.

As we all know today is the 23rd anniversary of the first Devil May Cry game, and the series as a whole. So I want to hear you talk about DMC 1, what you love about it, headcanons you have about it, alternate scenarios you want to share, anything DMC 1 you want to talk about.

The game can feel a bit clunky at times (some of the platforming and also the underwater sections) but most of the time it's not that bad, I think it did a good job at laying down the foundation for the other games.

I really like the vibe this game has. As most of us already know, DMC1 was originally supposed to be a resident evil game and you can definitely still see it in the environments and atmosphere. There's always something about the locations you're in that makes them feel a bit wrong or uncanny, the music that plays outside of combat also really amplifies this, for example: while exploring the castle you can occasionally hear what sounds like carnival music playing in the distance. The soundtrack is also just really good in general if you ask me.

"That day, if our positions were switched... Would our fates be different? Would I have your life, and you mine?"

While standing on top of the Qlipoth in DMC 5 Vergil posed a very interesting question that got many people wondering: How would the story of DMC go if Dante and Vergil's positions were switched?

That is what I am asking you now to answer. How does this story go in a world where their positions are switched?

I think I probably already half mentioned my theory on this somewhere, but this is my chance to write it fully.

Soooo... my whole starting point is Vergil being the mommy issues™️ twin and Dante being the daddy issues™️ twin (yeah it sounds silly, I know). So what if Vergil was the one in the house (that Eva hid in the closet) and Dante was the one outside, alone?

note: these are just my ideas and it's ok if you all don't agree or see it differently

I think Vergil's whole "I wanted to be protected and loved" and "my human side is weak" issues wouldn't be there, or at least they would be wayy lighter, as in this scenario Eva actually saves him

What about Dante? I think he would blame his father Sparda for this whole thing happening "If only Sparda were still here he could have protected us..." including their mother. I feel like Dante would understand that Eva was likely being attacked too and killed so it's not like she abandoned him, but Sparda? He disappeared in mysterious circumastances for what we know.

Not only that, but if he didn't have children and a wife at all, he wouldn't have put them in danger. In the mind of an angry child being brutally attacked, he could probably see his father as selfish for doing it.

I think he would become resentful of his father in this scenario, and that would become his "motivation". Motivation for what? I think he would try to close all "bridges" / "doors" between the human and demonic domains, to prevent cases such as his from happening again. A complete separation between the two worlds, no matter the cost.

And Vergil? I'm not sure, as I've been mainly thinking about Dante in this scenario. If I have to comapare him to Dante in the regular dmc universe... I think he would probably take up mercenary work (just like Dante did), but he would be more solitary and closed off, because that's just how he is personality wise. He would also have way more interest in knowledge about demons and Sparda, I can totally see him trying to have spare time to go in libraries and other places where he might gather information.

"Great news! You're in charge of the new DMC anime, what are you going to do with it?"

First question I ever sent, now I'm answering because why not.

First idea:

This is more of the "based off of what we know answer." We know that the anime is not going to be canon, and that the only confirmed characters are Dante, Vergil, and Lady. When I think of those three characters specifically, I'm thinking DMC 3 era. The only other possibility is Post-DMC 5 and I feel like if that's the case they would've mentioned Nero. I know that if it's DMC 3 era and not canon they are more than likely adapting DMC 3 into an anime, and while I don't mind the idea, I would personally prefer something new. So basically what I'm saying is if I was put in charge of a non-canon anime I would be making it an AU. Roleswap, the twins are working together (either against or with Arkham), hell, even maybe an AU where Lady is working with Arkham, just something that's not exactly what we got in canon.

Second idea:

This is more of the idea that I'd actually like to see happen. It'd be canon, and it'd be set post-DMC 5. The first season or two (kind of depends of how long the seasons are?) focus on Nero while the twins are still taking their road trip through hell. Nero is the main character, though other characters get a lot of focus too. Dante and Vergil do come into it in either season two or three, I think they could have their own season, albeit potentially shorter than others, while they are in hell. I like to think they at least start to reconcile and become brothers again in hell. I'm not quite sure what the plot of this season would be, either they're taking down Mundus or it's something else. If it's not Mundus he'd have to show up later in the series. Of course though they'd get out of hell and from that point it'd continue and the series would mostly focus on characters and character dynamics after DMC 5.

Take every character you wish to and tell me what you think is the most emotionally devastating situation they could be put in and how they would react to it.

Hello dear Anon! Thank you so much for the question!! Hope you don't mind me answering your ask at utter random order...but I'm kind if inspired!!

So, I'm gonna go with by best girl Trish here, as I think she's one of the "less traumatised" (And take this with a pinch of salt pls).

One of the most heavy topic for her, even if she seems kinda over it, is her being the physical copy of Eva and the reason she was created was to rub her resemblance to Dante's mother in his face in order to lure him into a trap. So, the scenario I'm envisioning is this: someone (could be Mundus himself, or some other villain that knew) brainwashes Dante into thinking about Trish as that: she's not a friend, she's a trickster and she's just a poor excuses of a copy of his late mother. And he tells her, he spits all those hurtfull words at her, he makes her feel like she's really nothing more than a puppet made in the image of a dead woman. Dante don't think about her as a friend, but as a fraud. On the outside, Trish will try and keep her cool demeneaour. She's a strong woman, and deep down she knows her value, she knows that she's more than what she looks like, more than what she was originally created for. But I guess hearing her best friend saying those words would affect her, hurt her. And I think that, if she would not act immediatedly and let those words sink and gnaw at the back of her mind, they will slowly have more and more power over her as the time passes. So she acts and she acts quickly. She maybe would subtle change something in her appearance (maybe she would cut her hair into a more Gloria-like one, try a new shade of lipstick, etc.) but nothing too drastic: she's fond of her appearance and, even if hurt, she would not cave in. And then she will hunt that fucker down and beat the shit out of them. Make them regret having even thought of brainwashing Dante into that. No one fucks with her friends and no one even have to dare to fuck with her and her sense of being.

How does the DMC cast respond to April Fools day? Do they participate? Have they ever participated? Will they? What sort of pranks do they play?

Hello again!

Dante and Nero definitely prank Vergil the entire day, while he gets increasingly more confused and angry as they take advantage of the fact that he knows nothing about the holiday.

He sits down to read his book? Opens it up to find suggestive pictures in it instead and blushes violently while Dante and Nero are laughing their asses off in the next room.

He goes to make a cup of tea? Dante replaced the loose leaves with dried broccoli and cinnamon powder.

He tries to slick his hair back? Nero replaced his gel with slime.

He wants to listen to his classical records? They both replaced his records with hard rock ones.

What sort of music would be on each character's (that you want to talk about) Spotify Wrapped?

Run free my headcanons and fresh new musings!

Nero would have a crap-ton of random music on his, from Kyrie and the kids using his account around the house. He's given up on his recommended artists at this point but loves seeing Wrapped so he can speedrun whatever the heck happened to his account throughout the year. He and Kyrie sit with a coffee and have a good chuckle when Wrapped eventually drops. I headcanon Nero with late 90s/early noughties vibes - still fresh since Fortuna is a little behind the times! Pop rock, metal, emo, indie - maybe some fun pop punk from the mainland now Fortuna has opened up a little! Some Bowling for Soup, Papa Roach, Korn, Muse. The only headcanon I won't compromise on? The guy loves Linkin Park (and therefore has excellent taste).

Vergil would adapt to modern internet speeds pretty quickly and would really enjoy listening to random violin covers of pop/rock songs on youtube etc (thank you, V's taunt). Maybe in comparison he keeps his Spotify playlists immaculately organised by genre. YouTube is for browsing, Spotify is his library, so no big surprises for him in his end of year summary. I reckon that like Dante, he likes rock and metal, being a child of the 80s. He likes lyrics with deeper meanings or that tell a story (Nightwish! Kate Bush! Harvey Danger! Alice in Chains!) but he's known for his speed, so he likes fast stuff too (think Pendulum - he finds it relaxing), as well as some classical compositions he remembers Sparda listening to in childhood for when he wants to privately remember how things used to be. This year on spotify he did however discover the "darkcore" genre and made a little playlist (I:Scintilla and HEALTH make his top songs list because when this guy obsesses over something he really does). He and Nero bond over mutual love of the Arctic Monkeys. Nero is pretty surprised to see some drill in there though - Vergil has lived an interesting life, so he might be more open minded than you think.

Dante, Dante, Dante. If the man has a spotify account, it just has one playlist that is 1000 hours long full of all the random music he likes. He's a versatile guy - pop, modern and classic rock, country, hair metal, jazz - anything that tickles his fancy. Has a soft spot for John Farnham because Eva loved him and it reminds him of her, so he definitely makes an appearance. Playlist will go something like this "Scorpians -> Madonna -> Kiss -> NSync -> Buckcherry -> Mud -> Billie Piper -> Metallica -> Portishead -> ibiza2009_j.s.InDaHouse remix". Somehow the combination works, but Wrapped can't handle it and self-destructs, so Dante goes back to the jukebox to listen to his mermaid rock 💔

Great ask as always @dmc-questions-anon !

A couple of weeks ago (listen I was lazy okay) it was Mother's Day (for me anyways)! Now I want you to tell me how DMC characters celebrate Mother's Day.

Dante and Vergil probably get Nero, Kyrie, Trish and Lady to visit their mother’s grave with them. They probably cry but don’t admit it

How does the DMC cast respond to April Fools day? Do they participate? Have they ever participated? Will they? What sort of pranks do they play?

I think Patty, especially when she was younger, tried to do something special for April Fool's Day. She wanted to prank Dante, of course. I like to think she was successful at least once.

Nico would absolutely get Nero with a prank.

Dante... I don't think he'd put much effort into it pre-DMC4. Maybe a token 'I actually love olives' joke, but nothing more than that. After he gets his brother back, though, I think he'd want to prank Vergil. Dante always wants to play with his brother, after all. :') And if he gets stabbed for it, well, that's just another Tuesday in the Sparda family.

I've never been one for pranks so I can't come up with any lol.

I think dante and trish would be into early 90s trashy slashers and they do a movie marathon every year. dante is definitely the type of guy to watch horror movies and go “yeah, I could survive that”

I also think dante secretly watches romances and doesn’t tell anyone about it.

i think vergil would be a blue eye samurai fan. nero would probably love games like hi-fi rush and mgr
