#kyrie mention

[constantlyfeelsick]

Humanity is obviously a central theme to DMC, but I have yet to see anyone mention how every single character within DMC is connected to each other with loss. I'd love to see a fanfic or even simple headcanons explore two or more characters' bonds over shared loss, especially ones that seem a bit odd.

Please, I beg to see Dante and Nico interact and see bits of Nell in each other. You guys, Nico and Trish bonding over demonology and devil arms, especially angus's research.

Idk how, but bring in Beryl. Have her relate to Lady over the overlaps and differences between their families. Beryl's dad went insane and died after possessing demonic power in an attempt to revive his late wife. While arkham killed his wife to possess demonic power and went insane and died. Not only that, they're both human devil hunters and have cool big ass guns.

(Ik Trish and Lucia dont out right lose family like most of the cast, but they still do experience loss. For Trish, it's her home and everything she knew until she left with Dante. In Deadly Fortunes, it's stated that she dedicates a lot of time to studying devil arms and demonology because she misses the underworld. For Lucia, she doesn't lose anyone, but she does have a loss of self after finding out she's a demon. Yall its a bit insane but parallels between Kyrie, Lucia and Trish with all of them having their worldview shattered. )

Baking with the DMC V boys

This is my first time trying to make these headcanon type posts, be nice pls.

Content: Romantic/platonic dante x G/N reader, vergil x reader, nero x reader ...? Cause any scenario here can be taken in any way, relationship or friendship (cause what if ur aro/ace but still wanna do fun shi with your favs?)

Dante

Wants to lick the batter off the whisk, but you gotta stop him. The remnants in the bowl is free game, however

Insists on winging the recipe, says you gotta "feel" it

FLOUR FIGHT! Your peaceful baking session descends into chaos. You both end up covered in flour while the cake is in the oven

Despite him being good with his hands his cake decorating skills kinda suck ass

Its okay though, since you both tried your best and had fun, even if the cake looks like doodoo. It tastes good however... so it wasnt a waste after all

Hes a notorious frosting licker, you have to swat him off the cake like a fly.

If you bake something a pastry instead hes gonna poke the dough.

(Romance:) will lick the frosting/batter off of your hand or face if you get any of it on you while mixing.

Vergil

Im not gonna lie here, he miiight turn it into a bit of a contest.

His perfectionistic nature will push him to ultra tryhard it, even if it is just a dessert or pastry. He'll check the recipe constantly and will be careful about each detail (or at least try)

You remind him that you two are baking for fun and he calms down a bit, but he will still act as if hes competing in the great british bakeoff or some shit

Insists on frosting the cake for you, but only so he can show off how steady his hands are. (Even if he screws it up)

The cake ends up being too pretty to eat

Wants to try harder pastries and desserts, usually something fancy like a mille fueille

That doesnt mean you two will always succeed however, Vergil just likes to push his limits even if he fails.

He'll give you a warm smile as you two finish the thing youre baking. At least hes not so tense anymore...

(Romance:) he'll feed you a piece of whatever you two baked together, looking into your eyes and watching for your reaction, then kisses you to have a taste but go back to being his stonefaced grumpy self later like nothing happened.

Nero

Overmixes the batter because hes tense

Kinda scatterbrained, will forget to preheat the oven sometimes

Hes actually more tolerable to bake with than his dad or uncle, less tense and also less chaotic

He'll let you take the lead for this one, just tell him what to do or get and he'll go right on ahead.

Hes actually not so tense anymore, considering baking is a relaxing activity.

Will leave the decorating to you, hes not very good at it.

(Platonic:) insists on leaving some for kyrie, aint no way he wont give her any

(Romantic:) will always leave some for you, no matter how good it tastes.

You two wont be making anything too complex but whatever comes out of it tastes great and his presence will make baking feel like a wholesome activity.

You two tell stories to each other and get a bit distracted.

my guess is that ange (i think that was her name) will become relevant in some form next episode, and i think it will be bern's doing somehow, maybe to weaken the magic of the game by lowering the stakes very slightly, making it a ritual that more people can survive instead of just the five, it will be six

[mariyekos]

Imagining a scenario where at some point Dante and Lady get married purely for practical purposes (like if she gets hospitalized so Dante can visit/make some decisions) but Lady ends up dating Trish so Dante's like

[feverdream-society]

Niel really did look at the rainbow haired guy with a mission to trigger every delusional person in a mile radius and his half-naked girlfriend, who randomly replaced the bartender, selling antidepressants and tranquilizers for 5-15 bucks a piece and went “yeah that's normal there's absolutely nothing weird going on here whatsoever”

[pyrrhicpaths]

@calamitysshatteredson || because reasons

"There has got to be a more efficient way of calling for your help..."

Twice already she's had to replace his cellphone with something cheaper but more durable-- the demonic strength and accidental clumsiness are understandable, truly, but now reminding him to charge it frequently is another matter entirely.

And their other method is... effectual. And funny, just unfortunately messy. Kyrie sighs in both amusement and disapproval as she wipes a park bench clean of sigils created using packets of ketchup she keeps in her coat pockets.

"Would an official pact aid in this at all?"

There are few feelings worse than finding genuinely good and inspired fanart, only to check the blog and find spardacest art. Why would you waste your talent like that?

Round 1 - Side B

Propaganda below ⬇️

Kirei

He fucked up so many people's lives so badly in just one decade (not on purpose) that the universe put him in the summoning pool of all world influencing souls. He doesnt really have any special powers but he does serve as a vessel for rasputin at one point. He's the guy who says "people die when they are killed"

please please please there's literally a type moon character in the gif on the top of this form so it's typemoonphobic if none of them get in but it shouldn't be her it should be kirei bc he's 50x funnier & more iconic than jeanne. funny lil murder priest who's fucking THE gilgamesh (from the epic of) in the church basement and dies in a knife fight w a 17 year old whose dad he wanted to fuck back in '94 before realizing that he was actually kinda lame and he's been bitter abt it ever since. he has an orphan torture factory in his basement but he's also canonically good at being a priest. he's so funny you should def try his mapo tofu i swear it's totally safe for human consumption and not made with any california reapers. did i mention he's a deadbeat dad.

Priest claims to be Pro Life to make Sakura Matou the most miserable girl on the planet, but he dies anyway.

bro became a catholic because he loves suffering

He’s a priest. Kind of. Not a very good priest obviously. There is something seriously wrong and fucked up with that man. It’s so entertaining.

he's gotta be one of the most insane catholic men ever with a very in-depth and interesting relationship with his religion and his relationship with god also he's the sexiest man ever to be conceptualized in the known universe and all of time

Will never forget the 40+ minute monologue in heavens feel being a thinly veiled metaphor for abortion

he wants to torment churchgoers and make them face their failures and suffering but all he ends up doing is motivate them to improve themselves. cringefail moment for him

he's absolutely insane. the coldhearted mercenary that barely reacts to anything is terrified of kirei. he's super fucked up. his ult in stay night is literally him channeling divine power into something called kyrie eleison. he's the vessel of rasputin (on account of being a priest with a huge....no i shant say) the biblical beast in grand order among other things. he gets drunk with and tops gilgamesh from the epic of gilgamesh in the church basement after gilgamesh from the epic of gilgamesh bats his eyes a little too hard at kirei in some of the horniest shot scenes ive ever seen. he also used to be a heretical "fixer" for the church, cleaning up scenes that would expose shit to the public. uhh what else. he holds cool swords between his fingers like a kid pretending to be wolverine but in my favorite route he just squares the hell up with the protagonist and they fight to the death outside planned parenthood

Firestar

Kitty jesus, he believes in starclan which is the kitty version of heaven/god and yea. All the warrior cats characters except those outside the clans or those that are atheist believe in the kitty heaven and would irl be bri-ish and christian as hell so. The authors are all older british christian women and so the way starclan is written is like undoubtedly that.

The main religion in the series is extremely catholic coded. Most clan cats believe in Starclan and the Dark Forest(or heaven and hell). There is a set of rule they must uphold and follow, where following them leads to heaven and breaking them leads to hell. Their religious leaders are sworn to celibacy, and the punishments that "code breakers"(or cats who break the rules) face are extremely similar to situations people with religious trauma have gone through.

OP notes: apparently converted to avoid getting his balls cut?? Idk. The discord yet wild for firestar so I had to include him because it's hilarious hehehe

[batbeato]

Something about how in Umineko literally no human character exists just for the sake of advancing other characters' stories, how even the ones we barely see at all have their own motivations and personalities.

Episode 4 is a great example of this: just about every side character introduced there is implied to have their own rich life story, just one that we don't get to see. Kumasawa had kids and grandkids, and those descendants have their own lives. The boat captain, who we never see in the message bottles/forgeries, feels regret over what happened and how, even though it would've been impossible for him to come on time due to the storm, he wishes he could have. Nanjo's son is bitter and jaded because of how much people have hounded him regarding Rokkenjima. The Witch Hunter that Ange meets knows about a plethora of theories and even gives lectures on the topic, a leader in the community of Witch Hunters.

And Kasumi, who is a big feature of this episode, despite never appearing elsewhere, is haunted by the aftermath of her sister leaving the Sumadera family and wants to continue that cycle of trauma using Ange. Kasumi isn't at all mentioned by Kyrie at any point in Umineko.

All of these people have lives, names, personalities. Most aren't very developed - we don't know many of them for long enough for that to happen - but they're people. Every person has a valuable life. Whether they're alive or dead, difficult to understand or simple to get to know, a man or woman or someone who falls outside those artificial binaries, a person who has done terrible things or a person who has done nothing at all. They're valuable.

[constantlyfeelsick]

I feel like I've mentioned this a billion times, but I think I've brought it up only once.

Obviously, the Order was a deeply integral part of Kyrie's life. It affected everything from her morals, worldview, down to the people she associated with (Agnus mentions in "Before the Nightmare" that Alyssa couldn't join the order because she wasn't already a believer so I assume that all of Kyrie's circle were just other believers, excluding Nero). But once the Order broke down, a major component of her life was gone, and her life as she knew it was completely destroyed.

It's never mentioned by Capcom, but how would she cope with it? Would it still heavily impact her even during DMC5? I know that girl has deeply repressed interests and desires that she is aware of but doesn't want to acknowledge unless someone else acts upon it (eg, her feelings for Nero. Ik theres nothing for her, but I dont think she really hinted anything towards Nero until he brought it up), do you think she would learn the courage to act on those post DMC4? (Weird girl Kyrie, my love)

[xycuro-illuminati]

After reading the dmc 4 novel, I find it so interesting how Nero acknowledges that Dante is related to him, but doesn't question to how closely related they are. And honestly, I can't really blame him.

In the novel, it's mentioned by both Nero and Dante’s povs of them theorizing that Sparda, the demon that lived in the human world for many centuries, could potentially have other descendants other than his sons and grandson. It wouldn't be a huge stretch to think that a guy that walked on earth for sm years could've had other partners and families before meeting Eva. Nero also seems to not really care about how closely related he is to Dante, only that they're definitely descendants of Sparda.

I don't think Nero thought of them to be closer bc of how he was raised in an orphanage, along with the culture within Fortuna and how he feels like an outcast. When Sanctus told Nero about the white haired man (Vergil) visiting him all those years ago is most likely Nero's father, Nero didn't really care. It couldn't be Dante bc Sanctus knows who Dante is, while with Vergil, he was just a mysterious figure to him. Nero only cares about Credo and Kyrie bc they were the only ones there for him. He was abandoned as a baby, and while we know Vergil didn't know of his existence, we still don't know what happened to his mother. The chance that she didn't want Nero is still very much possible and throughout the novel, Nero kinda leans in on that idea (especially with the whole "Everyone knows everyone in Fortuna. It would be impossible to not find out if someone was pregnant."). Nero isn't one for blood (obviously) and as long as he has Kyrie, that's all he needs, which I find sweet that Nero has someone to fall back to for anything, especially after they've both lost Credo.

hi therians im a wolf therian and i make music about being therian

every "therian music" playlist ive seen is the same cavetown indie 2020 cottagecore music and i got bored of it really fast, not to mention none of the songs on these playlists are ever actually about being therian. so i decided to start making therian music based on music i personally enjoy.

my names kyrie. im 14, black, nonbinary, gay & i make music under the name gothicwvlff on youtube soundcloud & bandcamp, i dont put it anywhere else. i make dark ambient/post-industrial electronic music because i feel like the darker sound of those genres matches the feeling of species dysphoria.

here are some of my fav songs ive made:

^ the last song (phantom tail) is supposed to be species euphoria

i do not put my music on spotify because spotify requires artists to use a third party distribution program, so none of my music is on spotify except for a collab i did with someone im no longer friends with :/

so uh yeah if youre a therian you might wanna check my stuff out ^~^

all my platforms can be found on my carrd
