So i know its likely the Lady in Red was most likely some sort of Fortuna church girl….

But i honestly think it would be so interesting if she acted a bit more like nero, or paralleled him in some way

Like the

- Bored and yawning dramatically in church

- Stubborn and grumpy teenager energy

- Doesn’t talk to/like a lot of people

Like, LiR content is usually something surrounding a Sparda worshipping fortuna girl but imagine the dynamic of her being some girl on the island who’s just sort of punk rock with an attitude problem and works part time in the library

And honestly? I can TOTALLY see Vergil falling for that

[nerdstuffalways]

Vergil would NOT have dominated LiR she would've pinned him down, said all nice things, praising how wonderful he is and rode him silly.

Vergil Sparda Headcannons

Ok so idk what to call this, I was just thinking and well here is this! Vergil sparda back from the underworld, this is what I think he’d be like :) if you like this here’s my fic on ao3

Oh Vergil, the man who quietly sees every single move you make in his peripheral vision.

The man who wouldnt be caught dead admitting he has any short of feelings for you, but his younger twin can see right through him.

Vergil, the man who heard about one of your niche interests once and cataloged it in his head.

What do you like? Cathedrals? He will take you to an abandoned one and frame it as a mission, then play tour guide when you comment on the absence of any demonic presence.

Vergil, the man who does the dishes in the dead of night so your mug is ready to go for your morning coffee, of course he’ll never tell, and if anyone asks he either won’t reply or chock it up on being tidy.

Vergil the man who knows your coffee order by heart.

Vergil, the guy who spend all his life alone in search of power and now that his brother dragged him back from the underworld he cannot adjust for the life of him.

Vergil, the man who only wanted to be loved but has deemed himself unworthy of affection, it’s not that he doesn’t hold these types of feelings he just doesn’t know what to do with them. He shouldn’t feel this way, it’s not fair to you.

He wouldn’t try to actively drive you away, he would just be cold and inexpressive. Thats his nature after all, or what he honed himself to become.

Vergil the man that would never say how jealous he got when he’d see Dante shamelessly flirting with you. No he isn’t jealous, he just finds his brother irritating, yeah thats it. But when Dante throws an arm around you laughing casually his jaw clicks his brows furrow and his hands? He finds himself very willing to relive the past, Dante has survived countless stabbings… what’s another one?

Vergil, the half demon who paces around in his room frustrated by how you plague his thoughts, annoyed even.

Vergil, the one who yearns to be like you, he sees how easy you talk with everyone, maybe if things were different he’d be like that too, but they aren’t and they will never be.

Vergil and his hyper fixation on a mortal that stared at the abyss with him. The abyss he stared at? Hell. No literally. The abyss you stared at? Him.

Vergil, who quietly writes poetry about you late at night.

Vergil who protects you at missions like it’s second nature.

Vergil, whose hands are surprisingly a lot warmer than they look.

Vergil, who would meet your gaze and not break eye contact if you were to challenge him.

Vergil, who would walk around shirtless in dmc and when you’d throw a T-shirt at him and yell to put some damn clothes on would catch it with one hand, look down at it, then up at you confused, the he’d tell you it’s hot outside. (Respectfully sir it is hot inside too now.)

Vergil, who would get you little trinkets from his “expeditions”. Nothing too extravagant, a stone he liked perhaps, but he always brought something.

Vergil, who would fix your weapons when they needed maintenance, never admired to it, you’d just find them in perfect condition.

Vergil, who would absolutely leave a new pair of gloves on your pillow if the ones you have tore.

Vergil, who could love you from afar from years never wanting anything back.

Vergil who would almost rip his brother apart if you got hurt during a mission he wasn’t a part of.

[nerdstuffalways]

I HATE when people take about Vergil like hes some ultra-dom or a quiet and brooding type of person.

Like yes this man is quiet BUT this man is a NERD through and through😭😭

Like this is the same man who:

- Writes his name on things he values so that others know its his

- Cant even look Nero in the eye if you see them in the DMC5 loading screen in Nicos truck

- He reads POETRY!!

[nerdstuffalways]

When im writing a fic but then a better, and more interesting idea comes to my head so i abandon ship to write this one instead

[nerdstuffalways]

Omg calling all fanfic writers🙌🏻🙌🏻

HOW DO YOU MAKE LONGER CHAPTERS!?!?

Like i swear im trying so hard to make my chapters detailed and longer but they always just end up being like 2k words😭🙏🏻

[nerdstuffalways]

precious time

[nerdstuffalways]

Vergil's little smile when Dante says "Remember what we used to say?" in dmc3 makes me go insane

[nerdstuffalways]

So…..like hypothetically

Im gonna write a fanfic that should end up being pretty long. Its a Vergil x Reader fic and the reader has been around since DMC3.

So a part of me wants to do a separate fic explaining everything that happened in between DMC3 and DMC5.

But im stuck between doing that or doing chapters that take place in the past. Like flashback chapters.

On one hand, it would be way more in depth to write out the past before getting to the real thing, but i think it would give me time to add to all the dynamics and character building.

The whole thing is gonna be a little writing project for me so i would love love LOVE if anyone on this app responded to give their opinion.

Even if you dont like the idea, or if you arent interested i would love some input💙💙💙

[nerdstuffalways]

dante believes that strength is the will to protect other people. vergil believes that strength is the ability to protect yourself.

this also reflects in how demonic they are vs how human they are. dante being the more human twin because power is something that must be exerted as little as possible, only to protect others, and the damage you do should be as little as you can. to reveal one’s nature as a devil is to frighten others away and isolate yourself, hurting the ones you love and becoming a target forever. vergil is more demonic because power is something that you must exert as much as possible so that no one will ever try to hurt you or cause trouble to begin with. a show of power is always necessary and to not express it is dangerous. to reveal one’s nature one’s nature as a devil is to frighten others away and isolate yourself, so that you can always be sure they know not to hurt you.

but both of them are also extremely closed about their feelings. both are terrified of vulnerability. dante won’t be genuine because then he has to face the constant fear he feels and that he really isn’t doing as well as he makes out to be. for the good of others, and to ignore what he feels. vergil won’t be genuine because he would have to face the constant fear and isn’t doing well. for the good of himself, so he can’t be hurt. scared guys who have difficulties being vulnerable. but when they are it is so nice because ohh finally dude you’re letting someone in and it’s warm and good and you’re going to be okay.

[nerdstuffalways]

The things that make me, ME.

[nerdstuffalways]

I've just remembered something…

This town was attacked once before.

I was here… I can still see it.

In fact, I was playing right here.

That was the house.

LET'S MOCK, BABY

DMC MASTERLIST

PAIRING: Vergil/Reader. WARNINGS: Fluff. WORD COUNT: 1,971. SUMMARY: In which you learn that Dante can mimic his twin that it's almost scary, so naturally you want to know if Vergil is able to as well.

A/N: sometimes i giggle thinking about how vergil does the same exact dorky shit dante does, thus this was born

“And why not?”

“I said no.”

“We’re alone, just once.”

“No.”

“I don't like you.”

“…”

You didn’t expect to get a response after that one, especially when he practically turned his back to you on the bed and dug his nose deeper in the book. You let go of his arm and fell back into the many pillows with a loud sigh, hoping he got the memo it made you upset – you weren’t really upset, you just liked teasing him. When he didn’t spare as much as a glance to you, you turned your gaze to the ceiling and pouted.

What were you annoying your surly lover about currently? Well…

It had all started earlier in the day, Dante and Vergil were getting along remarkably well until one made a remark about the other’s hair, out of absolute nowhere. Dante had told his elder twin that he looked like ‘Beethoven with that receding ass hairline’ and Vergil being his calm self had gotten pissy about that remark – you knew if it was one thing he hated, it was insults about his hair – and spouted off into some words you didn’t even know existed insulting at his younger twin. Vergil was a tranquil fury, often using words before he full-on threatened people with just so much as unsheathing the Yamato, and somehow it had almost gotten to them duking it out in a sword fight in the lobby again if you hadn’t walked in.

After sitting on the couch with your half-demon in attempts to diffuse the situation, they started again, though that time was something you had never expected. Dante had been flicking his hair and fiddling with it and muttering about how he needed a haircut when he pushed it back on his head. The slicked back style was nearly identical to Vergil’s and it fascinated you how they could look so different with opposite hairstyles, yet the exact same when wearing the exact same style. You had been glancing back to and from them both a little too obviously and had caught Dante’s attention, and he grinned.

Oh God.

He stood up from behind his desk then, and you noticed Vergil cut a glance to him quickly before going back to reading, leisurely walking over to stand near you two as he cleared his throat and pushed his hair back to sit more securely on his head. Then, he spoke and…

“Foolishness, Dante, foolishness. Is being a prick all you can do?”

Your jaw had unlocked a choked laugh leaving you before trying to cover it up with a cough, not just because Dante was purposely trying to rile up his twin again, but the frightening way Dante had mimicked him. It was uncanny, down to the nasal tone of his voice and the colorful insults he always came up with. How was that even possible? Was it because they were twins? No, they didn’t have the same voice at all. Maybe it was the demon blood in them, granting them abilities that might’ve been useless in retrospect but made for great talents. Either way, you were floored, and a little creeped out that Dante managed to sound exactly like him.

If Dante can do it, then…

Vergil’s book snapped shut. You were bracing yourself.

He rose then, probably more angry than he looked, and his hand was already making forth for the Yamato, “You dare mock me?”

At times you wondered how they were even brothers, but the way they fought over the pettiest shit really sold it. Especially when Dante’s response was parroting him back in the exact voice, “You dare mock me?”

“Oh my God.”

You had stopped it then, knowing Vergil was point five away from shish-kabobbing Dante with his sword, dragging your lover away to your shared bedroom as Dante cackled – disturbingly in Vergil’s voice – to keep them from blasting a hole in the walls again or throwing the other one through the ceiling again. After all that and Vergil seemingly calm – ??? – Dante left declaring he was getting pizza and that left you two alone in the shop, and that’s when you started.

You wanted to hear it, you wanted to hear Vergil speak like Dante. It didn’t have to be the same exact tone – that’d probably traumatize you – you just wanted to hear him say one of the catchphrases Dante did; it’d be funnier in his voice anyway. You had heard on more than one occasion Vergil say ‘Jackpot’, no matter how many times he grouched about how he didn’t say it. Yeah, okay bub, he could tell himself that but you distinctly remember hearing him saying it once and when he turned to see you standing there, he had puffed up like a rooster and stalked off. He was so cute when he was embarrassed.

You followed him around for a while after, literally waddling behind on his heels and holding onto one of his belt loops whenever he’d try to escape you. He knew you wanted something, and it was something he didn’t want so he was ignoring you, not because he was being an asshole to you, but because his sixth sense was tingling whenever he knew you or Dante were plotting. You tried to ease him into it but the man was about as stiff as a board and only threw you disgusted glances and ‘No’s.

That left you both currently in your bed as nighttime rolled in. Dante hadn’t returned and you knew he’d maybe only do it for you if he couldn’t hear him, so you would take intervals in asking him to do it, your latest blowing as well. If you had guessed, Vergil probably thought himself above using Dante vocabulary, and he was probably miffed that you had laughed too.

You looked at the back of his head; normally he let his hair down for bed, though it was still in its usual get-up and you were probably the reason for that. He certainly knew how to hold grudges. You sighed and rolled over to face his back, “Look I said I was sorry for laughing, it just caught me off guard. I didn’t know he could do that, and I just wanted to know if you could too.”

Vergil’s back moved in a deep breath with a sigh, shutting his book as he rolled onto his back, “Why do you want to know so badly?”

Truthfully, you wanted to hear Vergil say ‘Hey, babe’, but you weren’t about to vouch that to him. “It’s interesting,” was your response.

His silvery eyes peered over at you then, “’Interesting’?”

You propped yourself up on your elbow, “I’m being serious, I’ve never seen twins do that, or anyone for that matter. It’s kind of weird if you think about it… Dante could pretend to be you.” His expression was nothing but offended, so you reiterated, “You know what I mean, and I know if Dante of all people can do it, than you can too.” Maybe if you stroked his ego a little bit, he’d give in.

It didn’t work. “I know what you’re doing.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about…”

Vergil’s side eyes were godly, you don’t think anyone could replicate them, and you gave a sheepish grin at his glare. He sighed then, pinching the bridge of his nose, “You are insufferable.”

“Is that a no?”

You didn’t get an answer, only him closing his eyes to signify he was done with the conversation. You were not giving in though; you would hear him speak like Dante even if you had to beat it out of him – figuratively of course, you didn’t want to start a play fight and somehow get a long ass lesson of combat again. You had to change tactics, perhaps reverse psychology…

You gave a dramatic sigh, watching as he peeked a little when you flopped onto your back as well, and wistfully stared at the ceiling, “Maybe I was wrong then, maybe the great, big, bad Vergil lacks in one thing that Dante can better him in. A shame really.”

He was sitting up then and you almost laughed. His hair was beginning to fall from its grace as he glared down at you, “I do not lack in anything.”

You hummed, “Oh? You have to prove it, babe. If you don’t, I’ll just have to assume Dante’s up one point and better than you at something.” Hitting his ego seemed to always favor out than stroking it you figured out.

Vergil: 6

You: 4

His face twisted into a grimace and you didn’t have time to think about how he was probably insulted that you thought Dante was better than him. What a doof of a man, he was too easy to rile up sometimes. His jaw clenched and teeth pushing together he hissed at you, “What do you want.”

You sat up quicker than he probably expected and sat crisscross applesauce in front of him, “Just say something he says, you don’t have to do the voice, though you get Brownie Points if you do mimic his voice.” ‘Brownie Points’ being… you didn’t want to elaborate on that, Vergil was already feral.

The half-demon’s eyebrow rose considering your offer and he stared at you for a few moments before the loudest sigh you had ever heard fell out of him. He almost seemed melancholy as he rose his arms and used his hands to push his hair into his face, brushing it away from his face some to resemble his kin (though looking at him reminded you of the time you saw a picture of Nero with longer hair and you almost fell out of your seat on how much father and son looked alike).

You were nearly bouncing on the bed as he cleared his throat, trying to lower his voice into Dante’s and when he started looking like he was about to throw up it took all willpower you had not to laugh. He was silent for a few moments and then he opened and closed his mouth a couple times. The tension and suspense was killing you and you had half a mind to tell him to hurry up, though when he opened his mouth, nothing prepared you for what came out.

“Hey, babe, the name’s Dante and I’m here to party hard. Let’s rock, baby.”

“…”

“…”

…

Ew.

“That was… gross... and disturbing.”

He glared, the immediate Vergil back at your words, “You got what you wanted now leave me be,” he pushed his hair back on top his head and laid back on the bed facing away. He was embarrassed, how adorable.

You laid back down as well, trying to desperately just process what had happened. He had done it spot on just like his brother albeit his face was… horribly deadpan and in that expression he normally wore. But those words coming out of his mouth… and if he had said it in his own voice…

The first noise that escaped you was just air blowing through your nostrils. After that…

Vergil sighed when your own body began to shake the bed as you laughed, turning to look at you from over his shoulder, “Stop.”

“You... you said, ‘Let’s rock, baby’. I can’t breathe, who says that?”

“Dante.”

“Oh my God, please don’t ever do that again, it was so scary.”

“With pleasure, and I expect my reward in the near future.”

“Yeah, yeah, you’ll get your hanky panky.”

Once you had calmed down enough and he turned the light off for bed, you snuggled up with your arms around his bicep, a contented smile on your face, “Night, handsome.”

It was silent for a few moments and you thought he’d fallen back asleep until –

“Goodnight, babe.”

“STOP.”

Hiiii I really love ur art of lir and vergil and wanted to ask how would V react to lir if they met lol

omg i actually had a comic for this one and it’s just both of them being confused as hell
