Red Queen Combo B Has To Be My Favourite Move In All Of The Games

One thing I've always enjoyed about Vergil is that the games make you like him and root for him as a character... but not because he's right. It's not because he's noble. It's not even because he's traumatized. It's because he's Dante's brother.

Vergil is kind of terrible. He's done a lot of terrible things. The game doesn't even try to dispute that. You are not supposed to see Vergil as a heroic figure. Yet we still root for him because Dante, our PoV character, roots for him. Dante loves his brother. He wants his brother to succeed. We see how Vergil's absence crushes Dante. He never truly gets over it.

To Dante, Vergil is the person you love even though sometimes you just can't stand them, and maybe despite the fact that they've hurt you, because they're so important to you that you can't imagine life without them. He is the person you watch destroy themselves over and over, knowing there's nothing you can do to stop it, and you feel a piece of yourself break every single time the cycle repeats. Even if we, as players, may not see that or feel that for Vergil (at least, not right away), it's clear that Dante does.

And I can't emphasize enough how relatable and human that experience is. I think we've all been there in one way or another with someone in our lives. If we haven't, then I'm sure we've all watched a friend or family member go through that with someone they've loved.

He really doesn't need to be anything grander than that. He's not secretly right or noble. In fact, he's dead wrong about a lot. Yet we're still on Vergil's side because when he overcomes, when he finds his peace, when he becomes the person Dante hoped he could be, then Dante finds peace as well.

And we all want a world where the people we love can find their peace, and we can find our peace with them.

"dante doesn't ever shower", "dante smells like a grease pit lol"

my dude has a completely new outfit and hairstyle every game. he's worn 8000$ coats for more than half of his life. i am 100% betting he takes forever in the god damn shower and has rose shampoo. dante is vain as shit about his appearance

I really didn't like the anime :/

✧ DMC 1 Dante ✧

(some yapping below)

I finally finished playing dmc 1 recently and it was amazing ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡ despite being a fan for a few years, i never got to play them myself until now, it was on sale so i got to try them. Though my two only issues are the fixed camera angles and THE FUCKING PLATFORMS. Maybe its just a skill issue thing but i suck huge mundus stone balls at it, like to the point i spent the most time on it compared to the other missions. i despise it. (•̀д•́) aside from that, i enjoy the story, resonated with dante and oogling at trish. some of the cutscenes are unintentionally funny and ridiculous, it just adds more charm to the game lol. Overall a fun experience despite the issues i had and oh god i wished they keep the tanned skin on dante cause GAWD DAYUMM he looks so hot (づ˶ˊᗜˋ )づ♡ i also drew a meme inspired from one of the moments in the game cause it was so funny lol
