The creator of the lesbian flag, Emily Gwen, is currently unhoused and struggling financially while suffering to chronic and mental illness.

I have already contributed to her Kofi, and now I ask you to help, especially if you have ever used the lesbian flag. Even if you can't donate, I urge you to share her Kofi around to reach more audiences

Lesbians support other lesbians 🧡🤍💗

i deliberated between putting V or Nico in and then decided to go for the funnier option

You know it's funny, this scene is used as the epitome example of "wahoo wacky fun time pizza man" but even this scene in all its camp still demonstrates depth for Dante's character.

The thing is, the dance itself is leaving out the lead up, which is Nico introducing herself to Dante. Pay attention to Dante's body language.

He's reserved and withdrawn from Nico as she fangirls over him. Almost shy. He's very reluctant about accepting her handshake. His eyeline is tilted down and away from her. The blocking of the scene rarely even shows his eyes. His interest is only perked once he brings out Ebony and Ivory and after he holsters them he's back to being relatively engaged. Even when she hands him the hat, he's standing still as a statue.

It almost comes off as shy, if not standoffish. Dante is incredibly self loathing about his demonic heritage (his theme song in this game is literally "Subhuman") and this comes out in him feeling withdrawn from humanity. He doesn't want to go to Patty's party in his opening cutscene at the beginning of the game because he doesn't want to be around a bunch of humans. Not because he hates humanity, but because he hates the devils blood that is within himself. He's standoffish towards Nico at first because she's a human and he doesn't want to engage with her. It's only AFTER she gives him the hat that he accepts her as someone he can feel comfortable enough to be silly around. She's "one of us" now, and he can let the walls down.

Also take note that Nico thinks Dante's stupid dance is cool and she's digging it. When the camera cuts back from Dante finishing his dance over to Nico, she's posed the same way he is implying she was DANCING ALONG WITH HIM and she's cheering and hooting about how cool he is.

The Devil May Cry games HAVE depth and nuanced storytelling and characterization. They just demand that you PAY ATTENTION.

No! A romantic/sexual partner will kill the patient.

He needs to play third wheel to a WLW couple to live.
