Do you think reboot Dante is like. A good/healthy choice as a boyfriend, or...?

Maybe I should rephrase that: In what ways is reboot Dante messed up as a partner, and in what ways is he good? Like, what type of person/personality would he best get along with, in a relationship?

i think it depends a lot on the time period in which you are with him asdfghjk

in addition to swan song, i'd wanted to write a story about dante from the period of moving to the trailer to like the start of the game and the central through line was the relationship he had with my gf's oc liz and their eventual break up because he's just...a hot mess of a person at the time (the two reconcile later and get back together post game)

i think one of the biggest issues to contend with when dating reboot dante is the fact he has a LOT of unaddressed trauma and unaddressed mental health issues, things he is very much ignoring and are very much not going away which make him fairly combative and fairly volatile as a person.

i think there's a lack of willingness in him to lean on others for anything, a stubborn sort of self reliance and self focus which makes it difficult i think to try and built a relationship with him because of that lack of willingness to like...work together i guess. like while independence and self sufficiency in a relationship is good, i think for him this goes a bit further then that and it'd be more like an unwillingness for any sort of help and what not, which can be difficult to deal with and also make it difficult to feel like you can in turn go to your partner for support or help. he's very stubborn i guess is what im getting at asdfghjk

i think there's also the lack of vulnerability. he struggles a lot with that and i think it causes a lot of problems for him in relationships. like his walls are very high, it's hard for him to trust, it's hard for him to reciprocate trust people might give to him. it's hard to get him to that point.

i think with reboot dante to we see a level of volatility and like anger issues which can translate to him being standoffish and occasionally meaner and harsher then intended, which go back to these last two points. because he lacks that willingness to ask for help and that willingness to be vulnerable so in that stubbornness i think he's less likely to come back to a partner and be like 'sorry i didn't mean x i actually think y' and yada yada. i think it kind of ties back to the idea also of like when you haven't been treated well, if someone's trying to be nice to you, you might still lash out anyway when confronted with affection.

which then all ties back into the mental health issues and his self image and self destructive tendencies. i think he's the type to blow up a good thing because he's worried it's too good for him, or because he's scared of fucking up so he'll just fuck it up now, or just the simple fact that being vulnerable and trusting someone and having a level of commitment to anything is scary. i think he often also thinks people generally will lose interest in him, or figure out that he's kinda shitty and leave. so it's easier to push other people away and not do those things and not face the feeling of rejected and abandoned, rather creating a sense of control over the situation. which then just only further cements these ideas he has about himself.

commitment issues are another issue. my read of dante, particularly before he addresses any of these things, does have some commitment issues asdfghjk sometimes this is because he reads relationships as less serious then his partner might, sometimes this is out of self destruction, sometimes it's a way to spite a partner, etc. like which like i don't think he cheats on all his partners but at least pre game dante has done that it is a possibility of things he might do.

on the flip side i do think he's got a lot of good attributes.

i do think, once you get him there, he is a fiercely loyal person. we see this in both preboot and reboot. once you've become one of his people he's going to fight tooth and nail for you. he's a scary dog boyfriend to me in this way. you get scary dog privilege with him asdfghjk

i think he's good at listening. he doesn't need to talk about his issues when you're talking about yours. i think he's quite attentive as a listener to like he remembers what you tell him. he's curious to like he wants to know things about you and what not. and again he's going to remember the things you tell him.

which i think lends to him being thoughtful in his own way at times. like he's not going to be very upfront about feelings (vulnerable is scary) but i think he will show that thoughtfulness through actions. like because he's remembering what you tell him he's aware of that food you had that one time that reminds you of a specific comfy childhood memory or whatever and like your sad now so he's going to go across town to get it type of thing. you like a movie he's going to watch the movie. also i mean the classic reboot dante activity: pier dates where he's either cheating the games to get prizes or when the piers shut down and he's turning on the rides anyway dfghjkl

i think he'd be good at comforting someone. i'm not sure how to justify that one asdfghj but i can imagine him caring for a partner whos upset about something and doing his best to comfort them there.

he's also just fun i think. he's goofy. he's silly. he's probably great at spontaneous broke dates. he doesn't take things very seriously which can be a con but ALSO a massive pro! like i think when he's having a good day and he's in a good mood he's probably just delightful, the energy is probably great and it's hard to not get in the spirit of things.

i also think that like he's always the type to be very boastful about a partner doing something. their accomplishments are important kind of thing.

now, naturally, i think in the post game we see a lot more of these positives and we see him working on some of these negatives.

i imagine in the post game he's trying to be more direct about his feelings and being more vulnerable, though he still hates the vulnerability. i think he's probably starting to learn he doesn't have to do things alone, though that one is going to be an uphill battle along with his declaration that he's protecting humanity now (the realization that he needs help to do that vs wanting to do it on his own and keep everyone out of what he considers his problem to fix) i think having such a parallel in kat, there's a lot of growing the two of them can do (Dante with these sorts of issues and Kat with the trauma of everything that happened and Vergil's abandonment)

i think just generally feeling like he has a purpose and the weight of limbo and feeling like it's going to kill him young probably helps?

as for what sort of partner i think meshes well with that like...i think he needs someone who's patient, someone who see's there's something under his bravado and his stubbornness and everything. and someone who stands their ground against him when he's in a mood or what not, someone who's willing to go against that stubbornness when it's not serving him. i think to he needs someone who communicates feelings in a way he understands. like someone in tune with their own emotions and is able to express those feelings to him is great, but in addition to that i think they need to also be able to communicate that through actions because i think he understands it better that way. he also needs someone he can joke around with. someone who's willing to play around with him like he's going to play around with them. i think he too admires loyalty and trust, so those i think would be really important to him.

those are my thoughts anyway asdfghjk
