#more goats for dante to kill

[every1sno1fangirl]

detailed thoughts about the canto:

Apparently part 3 wasn't received well? I think this canto by far had the cleanest/best pacing out of them all the whole way through. I really really don't think More fights after the big ones would have helped. R Corp or X Corp or whoever goons showing up before they're actually relevant for a single fight after we beat up the final bosses wouldn't have done anything and be really superfluous. Because they're totally unimportant and irrelevant themselves and could have been Literally Anybody. Things didn't need to get bogged down after the actually important stuff happened. For that matter I'm not disappointed that the final boss itself was so lame/a victory lap. Grandma and the elders are fucking pathetic! That's the whole point. They're delusional geezers who make the world around them worse and cause nothing but misery just for their own amusement in an endless cycle. They're kind of just a victory lap after Lei Heng for the same reason why Baoyu doesn't crash out. It's just so much 'tighter' than the other cantos have been and I really like that.

Speaking of, the song is probably my favorite in Limbus and it doesn't even come close and that's incredible as someone who liked Hero a lot. I think it's because it feels the most like a song from Ruina. Specifically, it's so similar to Children of the City but with a different, more personal cycle filled with melancholy and also, the triumph to break past it. I need Yan Lu in my fucking veins ASAP.

In general I really loved how the Sinners got more love. Ryoshu and Yi Sang got cute little passives and story-wise they've all come a long way even if they have an even longer way to go. Gone are the days where they just brutally kill each other to work out their frustration. They treated their debate with one another very seriously even if they disagreed. I'm really starting to like Outis a lot more now that she isn't leaning on the kiss-ass drill instructor thing so hard and is even willing to throw down for them. It's really nice as a long-time don enjoyer to see them actually treating her thoughts with respect too.

Confucius is my GOAT. I'm going to be annoyed as hell by the powerscaling but he is my GOAT. Shin and Mang seem to be something tied with going to the Outskirts and I don't expect the Sinners to get it for a long time—I wonder if our favorite Library has something to do with it? (I haven't read Leviathan (It'll be peak when one day we're in really bad trouble until suddenly 10 rings of light completely obliterate whatever was in our way with no warning because of a washed up grade 9 fixer, trust.)

The only thing I thought was actually really 'sudden' and a disconnect was getting our new Dante power like that. Also, I bitch a lot about how Limbus is too easy and unengaging which is why I didn't like nerfs but the Lei Heng fight was ABSOLUTELY a good step in the right direction that I want to see more of. I didn't get to fight him pre-nerf sadly but conceptually I think it is much closer to a truly engaging fight like what was in Ruina. I think Limbus is still pretty bogged down fundamentally by how core things about the game function (The #1 thing I mald about and reset for is entirely because how sanity works as an example)

It's not the canto exactly but Mao Faust absolutely should have been fucking nerfed too lmfao. Assist Defense was fucking STUPID. I hate gacha.

Yi Sang has shot up my favorite sinner list so damn much dude. His growth has been amazing to see and the earnest love and care he has for his new friends that he freely expresses is so nice. He believed so sincerely in Baoyu. as Everyone's #1 Fangirl I simply must stan Everyone's #1 Guy. His wings are unfurling...

Hong Lu's kindness and true embrace of living in the moment really resonated with me. As someone who has lived in a similar way he did before and is still struggling to even begin struggling against the current instead of being an idle passenger, observing the world around them really stuck with me.

I don't mind that Lei Heng got obliterated before Ryoshu could do it. I think she has a lot of people she wanted to obliterate and that he's just another name on the list. What immediately comes to mind for me with the 'Path of Asura' stuff and her possible motivation is actually LISA.I think even if it isn't 1-1 she has some potentially interesting parallels with Brad & Buddy and her pissing off ALL of the Fingers will be a huge part of that. If she wants to destroy them and the City and Dante will help her walk that path to destruction that lead to that mass-death event that's been teased so much. I think even if Dante is the Sinner's guide along the paths they want to walk, hers will be the very first one that isn't actually good for her. Maybe I'll be surprised but I just do NOT see her 'getting better' so to speak. What she is or isn't troubled by isn't something that can be made peace with and let go. The forest must burn. Then again, she has that relationship with Sinclair...

Vergil creepypasta

Art by:..me.

Creepypasta downbelow

one day I go to the grocery store and I look for my items after buying the essentials and in the clearance section I see devil may cry 3 special edition and I'm like wow I played this a lot when I was little and I buy it ajd take it home with me I make some pizza and remember oh yeah I bought the game and so I dust off my Playstation 2 and insert the disc and everything seems normal until dante appears in his office crying and sobbing hyper realistic tears and he suddenly acknowledges the player and is like o sorry and them he's like jackpot and kills the demon's and hyper realistic blood then all of a sudden I notice something different in the game from when I last played it but I knew it wasn't just my faulty memory vergil appeared instead of the reaper boss and he said "scum" and then all of a sudden a blood curdling scream startled me as vergik started chasing my character around and calling me a foolish scum and then my game crashed when I restarted it I was able to finish mission 1 without the previous issue wow so weird no wonder this was on clearance and then when I get to mission 2 I find lady with hyper realistic blood and black eyes with red pupils and she says "turn back now" and I think wow I don't remember this dlc and them I keep playing and then suddenly jester battle starts happening but the joker just stands in the middle of the stage he doesn't even threaten to spank my butt I walk up to him and his dialog says "run" the screen goes black and I'm somehow inside of leviathan even though I'm only on mission 2 the weird throat goat demon starts chasing me woth it's blood curdling scream and instead of being able to escape it it gets me ajd my character falls and dies the screen goes black and the screen says "I told you to run...." the screen then turns to the final battle with vergil except I can't find his character anywhere and I lean over the edge of the water fall to see if he's there and then all of a sudden

An elongated vergil grabs me and drags me to hell with him and he's groaning and like the grudge girl and then my character is in a level I don't recognize wow thus dlc is so weird I keep running through what looks like a river of blood I then see jesters decapitated head and hyper realistic blood and a note that says "foolish scum" and all of a sudden dante is crying hyper realistic tears again and then lady is dead on the floor with so much hyper realistic blood and then dante is crying more and the I hear a creepy chuckle and on the screen pops up the scariest thing I've ever seen omg guys you won't believe this it's vergil but he looks real and he has blood coming from his eyes and his eyes are black and he's smiling so creepy and staring into my soul and the hair stands up on my balls and I start to feel like I need to shut the game off so I do and then I go to sleep ajd have a nightmare about vergil and when I wake up my balls are gone and I'm covered in hyper realistic blood and a note along with the dmc3 cd that says "foolish scum don't deserve these" and then I died don't buy clearance cds guys

@richardsondavis

I have so much to say. But I'll make it brief as possible... Tldr

Lady really is classification: GOATed character

This isn't to minimize the impact of other female characters or even the lead male characters

It's just sad that her impact has been downplayed by Capcom in years to come. They KNOW she is popular for very good reasons but they made her popular for fanservice reasons which is not awesome

I don't think I'm the only one who may have this hot take but I think Lady should've been the new lead or even face of Devil May Cry

Her character is encapsulates the resilience & drive of humanity, more so than how Dante believes in that, canon or fanon.

Her arc in 3 alone is a parallel to Dante's arc but unlike Dante, she actually has a more traditional/conventional protagonist's story.

And her passing Kalina to Dante to me is a passing on the more self-actualization of duty/responsibility. This is the scene where Dante becomes a more conventional protagonist.. and the oddest feeling is that he becomes more a better character nearly the end of the plot's arc

It's Lady's character that has created a lot of changes to her fellow lead characters, along with her changing a facet of herself because she sees her journey mirroring Dante's all along.

Her impact is felt and quite imbued in different ways among other characters in 4, reboot and 5.

I might even say Dante himself in DmC mirrors Lady more than Kat. Kat may represent humanity's resilience but Dante is imbued a vendetta against demons until he was proven otherwise to not generalize demons. And both Dante in DmC & Lady realize their actions have bigger consequences, outside their hatred for demons. And their skills soon are put to better use by fighting for humanity, motivated by, I think as personal take just by caring.

There's also definitely a dark parallel between Lady's patricide and Vergil's rejection of his mother in Downfall, even as a small one

And ironically Lady herself is the least herself in sequel titles sans the 2000s anime and that only one significant dialogue from her about regretting killing your own parent in 5...

..And unfortunately despite being produced/headed by a right wing extremist I can assume Shankar does want to make Lady great again, in his upcoming Netflix anime

edit sorry this was a response in a post here ..

Review of each IB class as an international baccalaureate diploma haver (IB is just AP but more european)

HL English - One of the less stressful classes. I like reading and writing, I remember finishing assignments earlier than expected. I got a 5

Oral exam - Did this in junior year, I did it on V for Vendetta (the movie) and Small Gods by Terry Pratchett because I was smoking fucking crack apparently

Paper - I barely remember this one, I think I did it on Ajax. Easy

Exams - Easy shit. I even had time to draw on the back

HL History - Having a good teacher helped. Not caring about WW1 did not help. I got a 5

Paper - Actual garbage. Worst thing I've ever written. Wrote it in junior year then had to edit it a year later and it was so bad

Exams - More stressful than the english ones, my hand fucking hurt, still had time to draw on the back because I'm the goat

SL Biology - Yayy :3 aminals and cell :3 slime :3 (I got a 5)

Paper - did it on slime mold hehe. Make sure you have your plan together early on in this assignment in case you need to order materials

Exams - If you make up enough things about science you might accidentally stumble into the right answer!

SL Math - I'm one of those sick fucks who like math. If you're a normal person then I'd consider getting a tutor to lessen the stress. I got a 5

Paper - finished this in like 2 days easy

Exam - Literally fuck my entire life

HL Theatre - If you're willing to embarrass yourself, lie, cheat, and steal, then this is an easy HL class. I got a 5

Papers - there's no exam for this class, only papers and recorded performances. The directors notebook was fun (didn't require any acting, I could draw pretty pictures). The research project was ok, make sure that your subject has more than one source describing it (I did mine on Kabuki theater so pretty easy). The group project... I don't want to think about that. The solo project was almost fun I got to writhe on the floor like a worm.

SL Spanish - literal dante's inferno type journey. I got a 4

Oral exam - on GOD don't be autistic

Exams - If I had a gun I'd kill myself

Extended Essay - don't forget to have fun and be yourself :) I got a D. If I could pass with that dogshit essay then SO CAN YOU!!

CAS - If you're bad at lying on IB assignments at this point I don't know how to help you. I actually don't know if they grade this? I'm not checking

CAS project - Make sure to do this completely last minute ok? :3

CAS presentation? - The thing you record all your CAS stuff on. People say that the Service part was the most difficult but that was easy for me since my town has a lot of volunteer opportunities, yours does too if you look hard enough. I had trouble on the Active because I do not go outside.

Ok I think that's everything but just make sure that you get deeply invested into a new video game two weeks before the exam this step is crucial also make sure you get into a college that only accepts 45 of your IB credits even though you got 55 LITERALLY KILL YOURSELF WESTERN WASHINGTON SUCK MY BALLS

I love an angel that will actually just kill me.

Stares at you with a comically large "ASK ME ABOUT MY INSANELY OUT OF CANON AND INCREDIBLY DETAILED SELF INSERT ULTRAKILL AU" button pinned to my shirt.

Right next to it is an equally large button that reads "BUT DON'T ASK ME ABOUT EXTENSIVE ULTRAKILL LORE BECAUSE I SUCK AT GATHERING INFO AND HAVEN'T SEEN PLAYTHROUGHS OF ALL OF IT YET".

Right next to that one is a slightly smaller button that reads "I love theology and Dante's Inferno :)".

- FAITH

... I like pathetic and tormented men too.

- Christian mythology/demonology

specifically Pentecostal/fundie evangelical beliefs, because that's my unfortunate field of expertise, but any kind really

also I like Dante's Divine Comedy and I really want a copy of the Lesser Key of Solomon + the Book of Enoch,, if you have more theology/mythology/demonology books to recommend feel free to share!!!!!!

- Cult of The Lamb

I've loved the game ever since it came out! Big fan of The Lamb (obviously)

All of these games are deeply steeped in controversy due to there unsavory takes on religion and faith but are also highly popular games with amazing gameplay.

@hotelugly1, I gotchu!

I imagine Clara and Odette's father to be a Sinner who eventually became an overlord. I haven't worked out the time in history that he lived in, but it was probably in the 1700-1800s, thereabout. He was in the illegal weapons trade during his life on Earth, as well as a number of other questionable things, including dog fighting. Actually, it was one of his animals that ended up killing him, in a twisted scenario similar to Alastor's, where he'd been mistaken for a deer and shot in the forehead while he was burying one of his victims.

In death, his demon form might be reminiscent of El Cadejo, a dog/bull/goat-like creature that usually appears to people on Earth to portend a warning or disaster. There are "good" and "bad" (relatively speaking) versions of them, depending on which sources you read. They are usually white with blue eyes if the spirit is helpful or trying to warn you of something beforehand, or black with red eyes if the spirit's intentions are negative or vengeful.

His base demon form is a tall, blond-haired, dark-skinned man, with horns (and maybe hooves like Lucifer and Charlie, I haven't decided). He has heterochromia, one grayish-blue eye and one red eye, again reminiscent of El Cadejo. I imagine the way his full demon form looks changes depending on his nature. When he first died and entered Hell, he was full of vengeance and resentment, so his form was black with red eyes, twisted with hard edges. When he meets Carmilla, his heart softens quite a bit, and his demon form is mixed. Then when the girls are born, his nature changes completely. More often he becomes the white version of himself, more angelic looking and less like a twisted amalgamation.

He is a weapons dealer in Hell, as he was in life -- regular weapons, not just angelic ones. That comes later. Carmilla eventually took up that trade with him. She never loved him as much as she had loved Sera, but there was something about him that brought them together. They ended up making a life together, for an overlord alliance and also just because they did have feelings for one another.

Having Clara and Odette was a complete surprise. Carmilla didn't think she would get pregnant, but as a fallen angel, it's possible for her to conceive children with a mortal soul. Her husband is one of the few other people besides Lucifer and Zestial who know of her fallen angel status. They tell everyone the girls are adopted (they are not).

At some point, when the girls are very young, he is taken down during an Extermination trying to protect them. That was the first time his demon was completely white -- he was so full of paternal love and the innate desire to protect his family, he'd made a complete 180 from the resentful, angry man he used to be. Adam killed him personally, because he had dared to fight back.

At that point is when Carmilla decides to change the trajectory of her and the girls' lives. Out of grief and in remembrance of him, she starts dealing almost exclusively in angelic weapons -- to avenge him and protect their girls like she promised. He taught her everything she knows about his empire, and she is an even more fierce and dedicated protector of her family after that. She didn't start Carmine Industries herself, but she rebuilt it from the ground up after her husband's passing. In that sense, she did it all herself.

Maybe the otherworldly sense from the portrait they keep of him comes from the tenuous nature of his demon -- it can be full of light, a protective force for good, or it can be dark and laced with malice. Not everyone can sense it, but that may be what's off about him at first glance. He was a very volatile person, and Carmilla and the girls had kind of a calming, tranquilizing effect on his spirit.

(Haven't worked out a name for him yet. Considering Dante, Derecho, or Carno, just 'cause I think they sound cool with the last name Carmine -- which was also his last name; Carmilla inherited it from him when they got married)

Anyway, that's the tea!

Everyone that entered the carmine household had their own set of questions for the monarch of the home but one seemed to unanimous and that question being,

Who exactly is Odette and Clara’s father?

They knew that Carmilla fell with Lucifer, and they know hell was an empty wasteland filled with eldritch beings just roaming said wasteland. That’s until Carmilla brings them up into the attic and reveals some old portraits of her and a creature that tried its best to resemble a man. It stood on two feet, and looked of a man but the portrait gave an eerie feeling.

The creature like man had what seemed to be blonde hair , a grin with sharp fangs that poked out of it’s mouth with a smaller set of tusks in the bottom row of it’s jaw, and sharp and rough angles that contrasted with Carmilla’s soft ones. It felt..odd to look at it.

(Just wanted to think and lay a basis of what I think Odette and Clara’s dad could’ve been/looked like!!)

Very interesting concept, anon! There's a lot of mystery surrounding the girls' father, and this is something I spend a lot of time thinking about, to be honest. I have my own thoughts about who he might have been, what kind of demon he was, and how he and Carmilla met. I'm sure I'm not the only one; he's such an enigma and a big question mark on the series as a whole.

I'm attempting to map out a backstory for him for the fic I'm working on (that I will definitely not get distracted from and actually finish at some point hahahaha 🤪🤪). Not sure if anyone is interested in that.

It'd be fun to conceptualize a backstory for him for the Seramilla-verse, either way.

BBC Ghosts Season 2 : Life references

After months of putting it off, Season 2 is finally finished!

Episode 1 - The Grey Lady

Captain’s “For King and Country” is in reference to George VI

Thomas references Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare 

Julian plays ping pong and says it takes him back to the David Lloyd in Chelsea 

Julian spoils the World Cup quarterfinals for Pat, implying he watched it when alive 

Mary was mostly illiterate

A 14th century grindstone is found in the cellar 

Captain unsurprisingly mentions the war again

Julian thinks he can do an impression of Nelson Mandela 

Thomas does an impression of an earl, but I couldn’t find anything on them so please excuse my lack of British know how 

Fanny appears in photos 

Julian didn’t believe in ghosts when he was alive 

Pat lists his skills in life: knot-tying, tent-pitching, archery 

Julian references Newsnight 

Fanny has been to a sideshow 

I’m assuming Pat and Julian are referencing Bruce Forsyth, which Julian has before 

Not a life thing, but I find it interesting that both Robin and Captain have said ghosts can’t feel the cold, only for Captain to question it 

Side note: Thomas’ cheese commercial made me hungry

Fanny’s dress is made of silk 

I like to think Captain talking to Dante’s taxidermy means he likes dogs

Pat likes pop quizzes

Captain likes running, a no brainer 

Captain remarks that he’s in his prime and that’s he’s still got it, implying that he at least believed he was in good health when alive 

Episode 2 - About Last Night 

Mick the plague ghost comes back the village they’ll eventually die in

Mick claims to have had an orange, have seen a bear kill a man, and met the king and went fishing 

He brought salt and clothes for the other plague ghosts, which led to their deaths 

Side note: Mick coughing up the blood was so scary to me, dying from a sickness 

Thomas may be able to cook, since he says he wished he could make Alison breakfast - lamb’s kidney and onion- before being cut off. I wonder if Thomas learned or liked to cook 

Thomas acknowledges he wasn’t formally invited to the party, a custom he’s used to

None of the surrounding villages were struck with plague 

Captain asks to watch a war documentary while Pat wants to watch football 

Julian believed that you should drink more alcohol when hung over

Mary offers a remedy: mushrooms soaked in goats milk and vinegar till it’s warm 

Pat says that cola is good for a hang over 

Side note again: Thomas is really sweet when he informs Alison of Dante’s disappearance, or the multiple times he’s wished to help her with things like cooking and cleaning. We love a helpful king 

Fanny loved Dante like her own child according to Thomas, and she once told Julian she loved Dante more anything else in the world. If she did have kids, I wonder if the relationship was strained. Also, it’s such a notable fact that everyone knows it, including ghosts that weren’t around for Fanny’s life

I know he’s easily coerced into not doing it, but the fact that Captain wanted to tell Fanny immediately that Dante was missing is very sweet 

Julian has extensive experience in public inquiries, specifically being the one getting asked the questions

Julian describes how it make an alcoholic drink to Alison 

Kitty’s heard white wine helps with stains

Fanny is not fond of mice

Mary thinks Veronica, Clive and Annie are nice names. I won’t include Daniel because it was her having a close call with Daniel 

Dante used to like sitting by the fire 

Episode 3 - Redding Weddy

Captain’s soldiers at Button House were apparently prone to giggling and horseplay 

Introduction of Captain’s Lieutenant, Havers 

We see Captain being informed that France has surrendered, which occurred in June 1940 

Captain requested a service revolver

Lieutenant Havers had an emergency lockdown initiated shortly after 

Havers informs Captain he wants to be involved in fighting, and has put in a transfer for the North Africa front 

Pat is, unsurprisingly, well versed in activity badges, and everyone else can recite them 

Robin knows how to skin a mammoth 

Julian, my dear, you are way off. It took Mary more than 300 years to talk about the witch trial if she did indeed die in the 1610s 

Pat likes Top Gun 

Julian references Chariots of Fire from 1981, Mississippi Burning from 1988 and The Towering Inferno from 1974

Little reference to the next episode when Thomas says he would show Julian his glove if he had one. Also, the wedding guy says the backyard looks like a bomb site, when it literally is one. Stuff like that make the show so much cooler

Julian used to do boxing for Cambridge 

Pat says s'il vous plaît

Fanny and Kitty read Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D. H. Lawrence 

Julian references the Suez crisis

Thomas references Jack and the Beanstalk

Pat calls the laptop the computer that folds

Pat was with Carol at her parents’ house when the moon landing happened, eating fish and chips and trying a jumbo battered sausage for the first time

Julian was a student at Cambridge when the moon landing happened and having his first threesome 

Captain claims that his dog Barry is buried where the bomb is, which is obviously untrue, but he also says that where they buried their pets, plural. I like to think Cap’s soldiers had a few dogs about

Captain has a letter with William written on it, which he tucks into his clothes. Captain says he was just thinking about Havers, which would later link to how they both knew about operation William 

Havers gets a new service revolver 

Captain has poster in his office about men wanted in the army, and also a wall full of books

Captain and his soldiers played cricket 

Julian references 9 1/2 weeks, a 1986 erotic movie 

Thomas always chooses pistol

Julian sold 50 crates of AK-47 assault rifles to the Libyans in 1983 to pay for his orangery 

Julian uses a grenade and a flamethrower on Thomas, I don’t know if his “I’m melting” line is meant to reference the Wizard of Oz or not

The statue outside, Florence, was one of Kitty’s best friends 

Kitty’s sister would pretend to not be able to find her when playing hide and seek

Kitty once hid for a whole day and night, and got so hungry she had to eat a bit of her purse 

I mean it’s just meant to look funny and be a reference but Julian can canonically spin a ball on one finger 

Nobody has ever found Kitty during hide and seek 

Nice canon Cap in a coat, love a bit of that

He also smokes, or at least fiddles the occasional pipe

Oh and he threw that envelope into the hole with the bomb

Captain buried a prototype limpet mine, which was so secret only he and Havers knew about it, along with the blueprints 

Captain talks bomb mechanics with Robin, the cutest thing I’ve ever seen

Pat knows about 2001: A Space Odyssey 

Robin thinks the earth is flat 

There’s a bit of speculation here: I can’t actually say with absolute certainty that Captain really saw Havers go. Maybe it’s wishful thinking that Havers would turn back and salute one last time, maybe it did happen, maybe it didn’t 

Episode 4 - The Thomas Thorne Affair

Robin would wear a space suit, Mary a seashell dress, Tom double denim with aviators, Julian misses pants, Pat’s wearing his lovely gist, Kitty wears the same as Alison, and Captain would wear his uniform 

Julian is unsurprisingly well versed in political tactics like the spin 

Captain identifies a musket ball

It’s the one that made Thomas very dead

This is another thing I’m uncertain about: whether Thomas feels pain or just does it for dramatic affect 

Quick side note before sad Thomas lore, I think I forgot to mention last time that Julian mentioned Great Expectations 

Thomas died October 10th, 1824

Thomas came to Button House when it was owned by the Highams’, Thomas and Francis were invited

They can both ride horses

Thomas had stated the house was pleasant to look at, but he wouldn’t want to live there (rippppp)

Thomas was in love with Isabelle Higham 

Thomas wrote a poem called Hermione and Roger and recited in front of everyone ( turns out he always sucked, but his poetry didn’t really sound that bad to me in this episode ) 

Isabelle played the harpsichord 

I always wonder during this episode how Thomas remembers his death so wrongly, whether he’s lying about it or simply so horrified he forgot I don’t know 

Even so, I think Thomas genuinely was in love and didn’t misinterpret as much before Isabelle

Thomas challenged some guy to a duel, we love a gun brandishing king 

Francis is a bitch- anyway back to Thomas

Thomas went twenty paces instead of ten, should’ve listened to ten duel commandments Thomas

The first animation with the spinning paper thing was shown

Monster munch, no words

Julian with his bloody playboy magazine, I’m not surprised 

First mention of Annie, Mary’s bestie

Humphrey is such a lovely soul, learning to admire the little things like shoes 

Okay wait, Alison says “you’ve literally got forever” which parallels Captain’s “we’ve got forever” 

HOLD UP THAT DUEL GUY WAS INSULTING MARY SHELLEY 

HOW DARE HE 

Thomas shot a bird and apologised before he died 

Isabelle never came to see Thomas before he passed, he was left alone to die

Julian cried at Thomas’ death

Julian references the European Union

Fanny convinced Alison to follow the tradition of chopping a tree down and bringing it on for Christmas

Fanny planted at least fifty saplings in her time

It’s kind of funny that Julian is horrified by Mary getting naked

Thomas’ Christmas recital thing wasn’t that bad 

From inference, it’s implied that Julian believes Margot wanted the baby, and that he had it thrust upon him

And if “I know, darling, I know” represents Margot, and Julian thinks that’s a reaction she would have, damn is that sad

She’s practically taking the blame for his misery

Julian would go for a drive if the baby got too irritating to him 

It appears that out of the four Christmases away from Rachel,  one was to do oil deals, one was to be in Brussels, one at Colonel Gaddafi’s palace, and possibly another in Brussels

[andersxragnulf]

flashback w/ @danteragnulf. Location: Tana, Norway. April, 2005. Notes: Anders tells 10 year old Dante a story. 

It was a weekly thing – Anders, either reading Dante something from one of the old books of the coven, or one of the old tales of their gods. He could see his younger brother, now ten, making room for the lycan to sit on his bed beside him. The young lycan’s eyes were shining with curiosity, like he wanted to hear something new, and not anything from the old books they had lying around. “Okay, okay. I have a good one for you.” Sitting back against the headboard, he lifted his arm as Dante moved to sit right against him. His younger brother had been sick as of late, but Anders – ever the sympathizer – had let the dogs into the room once more. Their father would be upset, but the seventeen year old would simply deal with that later.  

“This one takes place right after the last one I told you. Remember Idun? And how they just rescued her? Well, there was a great feast – and a stranger entered the Aesir’s halls unannounced, and unplanned. It was Skadi – a giantess, armed with the finest weapons, finest armor, and she was fucking – I mean – freaking pissed.” Dante’s snort was enough to make Anders grin once more, taking a pause before he continued the story. “She wanted revenge for the death of her father, Thjazi, the giant who stole Idun from them. But the gods were excellent negotiators, so they had her agree that there would be three trials to make amends for the killing of her father.”

Glancing at Dante, Anders winked at him, “First, Odin took her slain father’s eyes.” He brushed his fingers over Dante’s, making his younger brother shut them momentarily. “And he threw them into the sky, creating two new stars. Second, the gods needed to make her laugh, and it was Loki who succeeded. And lastly, she got to pick a god of her choosing to marry, but only by the sight of his legs. She thought she chose Baldur, but instead, she got the sea-god, Njord.” Dante made a noise of disgust at the mention of marriage, and Anders squeezed his brother’s shoulder playfully. Anders had to pause for a moment, listening to the sound of their mother outside the room, muttering something about Anders forgetting his coffee mug in some random place. That was a first. 

Looking down at the messy bedhead of his younger brother, Anders pushed it from his mind and continued. Dante’s wide eyes were fixed on his, so he couldn’t let him down. His theatrics would continue for as long as Dante wished to hear a story. 

“So, after their great wedding, they had to decide where to live. Njord lived at Noatun, the place of ships, on a warm, sunny beach. While Skadi lived in Thrymheim, thunder-home, the highest dark peak of a mountain where the snow never melted. They started off in Thrymheim – nine nights there, where Njord complained that the songs of the wolves were so displeasing, that he couldn’t bear to live without the songs of his swans back at his home. So, they spent nine nights in Noatun instead. And on the tenth day, Skadi was so pissed off about all the damn seabirds, she couldn’t get any sleep. So they ended their marriage and went back to their respective homes. The end. Go to sleep.”

Anders moved to get up, but Dante’s hand curled around his shirt to stop him from moving, “Wait! Wait, you didn’t tell me what the joke was. What did Loki do to make her laugh?”

The lycan glanced over his shoulder, leaning down to whisper, “Well…Loki tied a rope around a goat’s neck, then tied the other end to his ball–”

“Anders Ragnulf, do not finish that sentence!” Their mother’s harsh voice stopped Anders’ words, and he pushed Dante lightly as the little boy laughed, his older brother finally leaving the room.

Devil may cry V enemies: what do they taste like and how to cook them (part 2)

Empusa queen

The meat inside their abdomens is probably very tender and sweet, with the texture of something in between crab and tuna. Maybe the meat would make great nigiri, paired with soy sauce, ginger and wasabi, or on those fancy poke bowls all the insta girlies are making. The taste would vary depending on if they were killed in their "red" state or not. Not to mention she might have tasty empusa eggs that are like tobiko in there (if empusas lay eggs, that is.) 11/10

Green empusa/Red empusa

Theyre kinda like sugar ants. Following the same logic as their queen if you popped those suckers the juice would be hella sweet. Id use it as syrup for desserts. 9/10

Red orb empusa

They may look like candy but last I checked red orbs are inedible. Dont try unless you want broken teeth. -100/10

Baphomet

Cmon, its a fucking goat. Kalderetang kambing (🇵🇭) or african goat stew made with these things would probably slap. Youd have to cook them more carefully though since their internal temp is naturally colder. The process would be difficult but so worth it. 7/10

Riot/Chaos

Im not an expert on lizard cuisine but if crackhead places like florida and australia eat crocodile meat then these things wouldnt be any different. Youd have to sepeate the hard bits from the chaos demons off and slow cook their meat longer tho. 7/10/5/10

Nobody

See those eyes?? Make some maguro no medama yaki with these! Anything people did with tuna eyeballs is applicable here. Go nuts. Probably not something for squeamish people though.. then again nothing on this list is. 5/10

Lusachia

One thing and one thing alone came to my mind looking at this thing. Meatballs, meatballs and more meatballs. Remove the teeth and put this in your hell judecca/antenora tentacle pasta. 8/10.

__________

I wanna do the bosses next... except mfs like Dante and Vergil for... obvious reasons. Besides yall prolly wanna eat them in a diff way *wink wink*

Devil may cry V enemies: what do they taste like? (And how to cook them) (Cursed headcanons)

Part 1

Some things shouldnt be posted...

This is cursed as fuck but my brain always does weird shit like this and since tumblr is the de facto dump for thoughts like this I feel obligated to share it with you.

Hell Caina

Theyre honestly not very meaty. They have little bits of flesh stuck to their bones and they smell weird.... but their flesh makes a good snack if theres really nothing else. But they taste bland, almost like cardboard... and decay. -1/10

Hell Antenora/Judecca

Their flesh would taste the same as hell caina but those purple things would make good pasta if you blanched them to cook the bitterness away, otherwise that shit would taste like medicine.

If you want purple carbonara, spaghetti or mac and cheese, eat those tenties. 6/10

Pyrobat/Hellbat

theyre spicy and tangy. The texture of their flesh is kinda weird though, its quite leathery, kinda like softer beef jerky. Theyre actually really good for some korean hotpot if you have the patience to slowcook them. As for their heads, theyre too tough to be eaten but if you tossed it into a stew youd be able to get the flavors anyways. If you minced them they'd be great as taco meat because of their flavor. 7/10

Behemoth

A mix of beef and pork! Theyre great for soup, chili, or even pork belly or steak! It depends what part of them youre eating oh and those tongue limbs it has?? Great for a nice cut of filet mignon, and depending where you cut it you could get anything from brisket to bacon. 8/10

Death scissors

Fucking inedible. -1,000,000/10

Proto/scudo angelo

Is there even flesh under there or are they just made of armor through and through? Either way theyre not very meaty and their flesh would be too tough. 0/10

Fury

They look tasty, i mean they look like beef jerky/glazed meat/fruit rollups... theyd be really lean meat, they got potential but their flesh looks hella leathery, but theyre probably hella flavorful. 6/10

They cant all fit in one post so im gonna reblog with a part 2.

KH: The Foreteller’s Animal Masks

This is half fun facts / half theory but basically it’s a list of which Sins/Foretellers are associated with which animals AND where the inspirations for the animal associations came from, since there’s actually a few different sources!

The first would be the Ancrene Wisse, which was a sort of field guidebook for Anchoresses (Female Abbesses/Monks/Nuns basically) containing rules of conduct and behavior 

https://www.hermitary.com/articles/ancrene.html

This goes into many things that honestly have cool thematic ties with symbolism for stuff in Kingdom Hearts, which I could honestly make a whole post in it’s own for tbh, but for here were focusing on one passage:

“The wilderness is the solitary life of the anchoress's dwelling, for just as in the wilderness there are all the wild beasts, and they will not endure men coming near but flee when they hear them, so should anchorites, above all other women, be wild in this way, and then they will be desirable, above other women, to Our Lord. 

In this wilderness are many evil beasts: the lion of pride, the snake of poisonous envy, the unicorn of anger, the bear of dead sloth, the fox of covetousness, the sow of gluttony, the scorpion with the tail of stinging lechery, that is, lust.”

So, we start out with a nice base for some of the Sin/Foretellers:

Ira - Wrath - Unicorn - Unicornis

Avaritia - Greed - Fox - Vulpes

Acedia - Sloth - Bear - Ursus

Invidia - Envy - Snake - Anguis

but then wait, here Gula/Gluttony is a Sow, a Pig, but in KH it’s a Leopard

As well as recently in KH, they’ve made it clear that Luxu/Luxuria is a Goat, not a Scorpion (As cool as a Scorpion would have been for Luxu’s emblem, but a bit too on the nose I suppose haha)

Well, interestingly enough, did you know that back when the 7 deadly sins was actually more like the 8 Evil Things once? And that they were also grouped into a Trio of their own? 

(Despair as Tristitia being the 8th one, because it’s essentially the sin of falling to sorrow/sadness or giving up, of blinding yourself to other’s troubles and causing sorrow in return or being too sorrowful to act, later it was folded into Sloth as a lack of diligence) 

But the 3 Major sin groupings was essentially the three Reasons that people would sin the deadly sins

Incontinence: Doing wrong because they couldn't help it. Or sinning from a lack of moderation or self-control.

Violence: Doing wrong because of anger, revenge or retaliation. Or sinning from by trying to force your will externally

Fraud/Corruption: Doing wrong on purpose in order to hurt other's. Or sinning from betrayal, lies and manipulation. 

These three things form a sort of Unholy Trinity in opposition with the Divine trinity of Father-Son-Holy Spirit

And, very famously, Dante’s Inferno links these three groupings to three creatures from a famous bible verse describing the destruction of humanity via it's own nature:

Jeremiah 5:6 - “Therefore a lion from the forest shall slay them, and a wolf from the desert shall destroy them. A leopard is watching against their cities, every one who goes out of them shall be torn in pieces because their transgressions are many, their apostasies are great.”

A Lion, A Leopard and A Wolf.

Now based on Dante’s actual writing which grouping with which animal and which sins is often debated, but usually it’s roughly as follows:

Leopard of Incontinence: Gluttony, Greed, Luxuria (from Immoderation, Extravagance, Wastefulness)

Lion of Violence: Wrath, Pride (from Murder, Suicide, Squandering, Blasphemy)

Wolf of Fraud/Corruption: Envy, Sloth, Sorrow/Despair (Tristitia) (from Corruption, Thievery, Falsifier, Betrayal) (yeah... old timey people did indeed view what was essentially depression as a “willful” sin aka something people did on purpose to hurt themselves, like they drown in their sorrows willingly because of a refusal to heal themselves or as a willing corruption of their soul, nowadays if it existed would definitely be thought of a Leopard sin I’d think)

So here it’s very easy to see where Leopardos and Gula get tied together, because in KH the sin of Gluttony is lifted above the other’s in the group, which makes sense because being gluttonous for money is greed, being gluttonous for luxuries was Luxuria (or sex for lust)

And here also, the Sin of Pride/Superbia is again associated with the Lion as it is in the Ancrene Wisse (though it’s also associated with Wrath strongly as well, so no wonder MoM chose Ira to be the next leader after he was gone)

So in all likelihood, this means that the symbol of the Master of Masters is most likely a Lion of Pride, Superbia (and if he had his own union, it might be something like Leo or Panthera) 

But honestly the biggest thing that definitely makes MoM the Lion of Pride is the passage in the Ancrene Wisse that elaborates upon the Lion of Pride, describing it as having “many cubs”:

“But the author continues the animal analogies, enumerating a classification of the sins. "The lion of pride has very many cubs," he states, and enumerates them: vainglory, indignation, hypocrisy, presumption, disobedience, loquacity, blasphemy, impatience, contumacy, contention, "airs and graces." “

Reminds me of both MoM’s many apprentices or Master Xehanort’s collection in the organization

Though the REAL reason is also because did you know when KH was still being thought of and designed, Nomura actually wanted to make Sora a Half-Lion Chainsaw Wielder and we all know Sora is secretly the MoM right lol

But anyway, that explains Gula being a Leopard

So then where did all this talk of Luxu being a Goat come from?

Well one reason could be that later on as the deadly sins got solidified as just the seven of them, and as their meanings changed from umbrella terms to more specific sins, their animal interpretations also started to differ:

Avarice/Greed = Toad/Frog 

Invidia/Envy = Snake

Ira/Wrath = Lion

Acedia/Sloth = Snail

Gula/Gluttony = Pig

Luxuria/Lust = Goat

Superbia/Pride = Peacock

Also Ira with a Lion mask would be cool but can you imagine a Snail Aced or a Froggy Ava? lol

But it IS Cool to think that these “Modernized” animals could then become the emblems of the Union Leaders that inherited Ava’s legacy, since they are the newer versions of those Unions, obviously there’s no one to Inherit MoM’s legacy

But you could easily think of Ventus as the “Traitor” aka the scapeGoated 6th for the new group, leaving Frogs, Snakes, Lions, Snails and Pigs for the other five 

(I wonder who I’d put with who... Ephemer, Skuld, Lauriam, Strelitzia and Brain... the only sin associated with Death would be Wrath (As Suicide) and the “Ira” position appears to be the one who inherits the leader, and it’s theorized Strelitzia was the circled name supposed to get the Book of Prophecies

So Strelitzia = Lion/Wrath

Ephemer and Ava always seemed to be the closest and he was the one who seemed to inherit her Legacy the most so he can get Frogs/Greed

Brain is similar to Gula in how they calmly investigate issues and try to uncover the truth and got extra information than the others, so Pigs/Gluttony for him

Lauriam was the poster boy for temptation into darkness, which is what Darkness was intended when his sister Strelitzia was killed, for him to be the first to fall to rage and grief, nice Aced parallel as the one everyone suspected of falling to darkness first so he gets Snails/Sloth, fitting for the flower elemental lol

and that leave Skuld and Invi which also makes sense as the parallel for the person who tries to intervene in conflicts and mediate for the group, so Skuld gets Snake/Envy

Neat!

But anyway back to Luxu, I think Luxu is represented by the Goat not just because of the above modern listings, but also because of the special place of evil that Christian religions tend to place on Goat itself

If the Lamb is the most common symbol of Jesus Christ, the Goat has always been a symbol of the Evil of Lucifer. Sheep and Goats, despite being so similar, have always been seen as this symbolic duo. Sheep and Lambs being submissive, complacent, docile, while Goats are crazy, willful, destructive and etc likely because since they are so close in nature, they are basically seen as the Good and Evil version of the same animal, a Goat is essentially a heretical false Lamb

They are very commonly associated with the Devil/Lucifer himself and goats have always gotten the short end of stick, all the way back to the old tradition of using goats as well, scape-goats literally. The practice of singling out a particular creature or person and placing all the sin and blame onto it, and then driving it away

Luxu is singled out from the group, likely given the role of “Traitor” amongst the six of them and then is forced into essentially exile to the future by MoM where he can do nothing but watch and wait, never able to interfere or meddle with anything

And this reasoning of the Goat fits Luxu above all others.

So there we have it, finally at the end:

Ira/Wrath - Unicorn/Unicornis

Avaritia/Greed - Fox/Vulpes

Acedia/Sloth - Bear/Ursus

Invidia/Envy - Snake/Anguis

Gula/Gluttony - Leopard/Leopardus

and if Luxu and MoM had union names, (which seem to be just be taken from the genus of the animal directly) they’d likely be:

Luxuria/Lust - Goat/Caprini

Superbia/Pride - Lion/Panthera

But I think the Most Interesting Thing to glean from all of this, is going back to the 3 Groupings for the 8 evil things, can you imagine if KH ever decides to give MoM a little backstory, and a figure based on the Wolf of Fraud/Corruption, emblem of Despair came into the picture somewhere?

Something that might look a little like this?

Hey that’s interesting, isn’t this the special secret boss Dark Hide from Aqua’s Fragmentary Passage? Y’know, that journey all about Aqua falling into the pits of Despair where she then ends up fighting The First Real Pureblood Heartless she ever faces in the Realm of Darkness? Something that Aqua felt was Willfully and Intentionally Stalking her through the depths, instead of mindlessly attacking her?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQGONhqs0mU

Isn’t that interesting how all of things, they give this boss the opportunity for the player to see through it’s eyes, something very unique, and how it initially appears as a formless Darkness

And isn’t Darkness itself, given a will and a personality, now a figure in KHUX Dark Road, that has specific ties to the MoM, as Luxu describes as being a fellow student and/or old friend of MoM?

Could the Will of Despair manifested from darkness come to be a secret 8th apprentice of MoM?

Who knows, but it’s interesting how that symbolism lines up isn’t it?

! write with me or fight with me!

you either die by my sword or the most painful head canons imaginable! *merida vc* choose yer fate

just kidding!

 hey there gaymers, i am crissy! i am 22, live in pst, go by she/her pronouns and honestly would very much like a distraction from life -- preferably in the form of 1x1 and rp in general. i am currently doing online school plus trying/failing at adulting, being a crazy pink haired college student living on microwave dimsum with my crazy fluffy demon cat, but that still leaves me with a lot of time and what better way to spend that time then crying and dying, am i right, boys? 

so without further ado ( adieu? idk gusundheit ) here are a list of discomboblulated plot things that have been floating around in my head that i might be fun to do ( plot fragments, ideas, ocs, fcs i like, settings, genres etc )! i’d prefer a message if u liked any of these in the inbox or dm form, my tumblr ims are open and my discord user is mr. worldwide#2918 ( pitbull supremacy ) but if ur shy i will message u and be annoying! 

lastly: i prefer hcing in the dms to replies, however i will do replies/ask memes slowly, i don’t really like making blogs and prefer google docs/discord and i ask ( gently and respectfully ) that minors do not interact.

thank u and happy hunger games! xx

COLLEGE TOTALLY SPIES -- i was really obsessed with this picture right here and i thought that the picture would be a good premise for a little four person group based on totally spies. i was thinking that these three college students/young adults some friends maybe not some enemies or just on completely different ends of the social agenda get bonded together when they accidentally end up roped in a top secret spy organization that is fronted by a record store. the details and flesh of the plot i think would be cute to figure out all together maybe in a google doc or a big discord so we can make the rp to perfect world building specifications. right now i have two spots open! 

my friend lexi over at comradc has taken the cool goth asian girl and is using lyrica okano

i am playing the freckly backwards hat lesbian in the red polo named aj mccallis and i think im using diana silvers ( not sure might switch to tati rodriguez )

we also have the cute blond girl w the dyed hair who is giving me kind of like sydney sweeney energies, blonde girl maybe like lalisa manoban/jinsoul,

and we have the rad black girl with the bandids who i would only accept black fcs for for such as diamond white, ryan destiny, salem mitchell, 

i’d prefer if this stayed kind of sapphic and female and enby friendly. we can def make make npcs and characters but i’d prefer if the characters looked like they do in the picture ( minus the white girls who can be racebent as long as there are vibes ) mostly bc i want the poc people to stay the correct poc! but yeah! if u like this message me specifically!!!!! seperately and hit me w a role ud like maybe an fc an idea anything < 3 im working on a google doc and discord sever

Batfam During Quarantine: Avatar

Dick: Okay, lets try to keep the craziness to a minimum. Harper and Cullen are quarantining for two weeks so lets not do anything to make them jealous.

Duke: *Duke and Tim walk into the room* Omg, We just finished watching Avatar The Last Airbender for like the fifth time right now! I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH!!! WHY DID THEY EVER TAKE IT OFF OF NETFLIX!!!

Dick: Guys, come on. I literally just said to keep the craziness to a minimum.

Tim: They have Netflix set up on their tv. They should be fine.

Damian: What is Avatar The Last Airbender

Everyone: *gasp*

Selina: Some....

Jason: Sh ta ta ta ta. *presses his finger to Selina’s lips* Don’t speak, I know just what you’re sayin’, so please stop explainin’.

Selina: Really Jason? How long have you been waiting to use that one?

Jason: *breaks into a dance* All night long, all night.

Stephanie: What is going on with you Jason? 

Tim: I know right? You don’t ever listen to Lionel Richie, let alone pop music.

Jason: It’s his fault! *points at Dick* Him and his stupid playlist!

Dick: “Don’t Speak” isn’t on my playlist though.

Jason: I ummmm...... radio.

Dick: *gasp* You listen to No Doubt!

Jason: No! Maybe!

Dick: O-M-G!

Jason: They’re a guilty pleasure! Now don’t mention it again.

Cassandra: Guys!!! What is The Last Airbender?

Duke: *starts to explain but Dick holds him back*

Jason: *to Damian and Cassandra* You poor depraved children.

Damian: I’m not a child.

Jason: Hahaha, your cute. Avatar The Last Airbender is the beautiful brain child of Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. It is a fantastic series that can not be summarized by anyone or even a movie. Anyone who tries instantly robs the person of the magic of the original series and ruins the exper.....

Damian: You know what, screw it. This isn’t worth it.

Dick: NOOOO! Come on Dami, we can watch it all together, just the nine of us.

Duke: Yeah, come on Damian.

Stephanie: It’s a really great series Dami.

Cassandra: I mean I’m interested.

Tim: *turns his head towards Cassandra* We already knew you were on board. *turns his head back to Damian*

Damian: Fine, I’ll give your stupid show a chance.

Everyone: Yaaayyyyy!!!! *they all start to head down stairs when Dick gets an alert on his phone*

Dick: Actually, this is going to need to wait. Cass and Tim, come with me. I’ll alert Babs and Kate.

Jason: Why, what’s up?

Dick: There’s been a murder at Blackgate.

Batman, Batwoman, Batgirl, Red Robin, Orphan, and Commissioner Gordon

Jim: Batman and, wow there are a lot of you!

Batman: We want to try and get this over with as soon as possible.  

Jim: Very well. Victim is Julian Gregory Day, better known as Calendar Man. The body was found at 10:15. He left his cell at 10 to meet with the D.A. to talk about getting a reduced sentence. Both of the prison guards who were escorting Julian Day were knocked out during the attack. All of the camera’s were out, too.

Batwoman: The marks on his neck suggest that he was strangled and can’t quite tell but there’s something under his fingernails. He couldn’t have saw this coming but he definitely tried to put up a fight.

Batman: Okay, Batgirl and Orphan, lets have you head to the morgue with the diener and see if they could find out what’s under his finger nails. Batwoman, question Hugo Strange. Go through the audio files and see what you can find. Red Robin, you and I will see what any of the inmates in the cell block know. Jim, order your men to check the other camera monitors for anything suspicious.

Jim: I’m not one of your......

Batman: *glares at Jim Gordon*

Jim: I could figure out your identity any time I want. 

Batman: *smirks* Is that a promise?

Jim: It’s a door I’m willing to keep closed unless you cross the line.

Batwoman

Something she didn’t mention at the crime scene was that there was traces of reddish brown hair, so that points fingers at James Gordon Jr, Clock King, Edward Nigma, and Roxanne Sutton. Kate has her suspicions, but as of right now everyone is a suspect.

Hugo Strange: Hello Batwoman. How may I assist you?

Batwoman: I need to know about a few of your patients.

Hugo Strange: You know I can not tell you much I am.....

Batwoman: I am familiar with the confidentiality agreement. I need to know about Julian Day.

Hugo Strange: Poor guy. It’s a shame what happened to him. His most recent audio files are all yours. You’ll find the information you need in there.

Batwoman walked out of the room and began listening to the files in the secret Batcave in Blackgate.

Batgirl and Orphan

Batgirl: *walks into the door* Ugh, what is that smell?

Orphan: Rotting goat sex.

Batgirl: *burst out laughing* What?

Orphan: Rotting goat sex. 

Batgirl: What made you say that?

Orphan: Red Hood told me that’s the name of the yellow squares you put on sandwiches. The ones that go bad over time and smell like this room.

Batgirl: Okay, don’t listen to Red Hood anymore. It’s called cheese Orphan.

Orphan: Cheese. Okay. Got it.

Batgirl: So, how are you enjoying quarantine in the mansion.

Orphan: It’s not bad. Been sparring a lot. 

Batgirl: Who exactly? You’re not hurting my boyfriend right?

Orphan: Nope, but I kicked Helena’s butt a few times.

Batgirl: WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY!!!

Coroner: *walks out* Hey, so the.... Sorry, am I interrupting something.

Batgirl: No. Tell us about the body.

Coroner: Okay so prior to his death it seems the victim was drugged with a depressant. Obviously slowing his reactions. Underneath his fingernails are threads from the string that was used strangle him and some dead skin cells.

Batgirl: There’s not a lot of options for strings except for shoelaces, and unless someone has a very old shoelace, that means the string had to have come from outside the prison.

Coroner: Correct, the threads are definitely not made from the same material as the shoelaces.

Orphan: Anything else.

Coroner: Yes, there was some short white hairs found on his body which is odd, but probably from facial hair or eyebrows.

Batgirl: Thanks! Let us know when you have an idea who those skin cells belong to. *both Barbara and Cassandra start walking away* Tell Red Robin what we found out.

Orphan: But we’re supposed to report to Batman.

Batgirl: Fuck Batman.

Selina, Bruce, Lucius, and Alfred

At Wayne Tower

Bruce: *starring at his computer screen* If I buy this company, then I can buy a donut, and the cosmic donut will make me live forever, plus more profits, because three coffees plus one donut equals one Tim. *Lucius Fox knocks on the door* Do you want to build a snowman?!

Lucius: Mister Wayne, we need to talk.

Bruce: What is it Lucius?

Alfred: You’re overworking yourself.

Bruce: *looks up from his computer* Dad, I mean Alfred, Selina, what are you doing here?

Selina: No simple way to say it but this is an intervention.

Bruce: I don’t need an intervention.

Selina: Bruce, it’s been a bit over two months since quarantine began. You’re company is doing just fine. Don’t you think you deserve a break?

Bruce: With a little less help from Red Tim, I need to work as much as possible to get the cosmic coffee back on track. The hacker a few weeks back did a bit of damage.

Alfred: Master Bruce, even the Batman needs a break from time to time. Isn’t that the real reason you have Master Dick running around in the Batsuit instead of you?

Bruce: No! *Bruce takes a moment to think it all over* Partially.

Lucius: You are putting to much pressure on yourself. You keep on talking nonsense and are obviously sleep deprived.

Bruce: No! I’ve haven’t put enough pressure on myself since I became Batman. Once Batman came into the picture I didn’t focus on the company any longer. And I’m not sleep deprived, I’ve slept 4 hours last night! I’m getting more than enough sleep.

Lucius: You had more of an impact on the company then you think. If it weren’t for you acting as a real CEO, we wouldn’t be doing a going green initiative, there wouldn’t be a yearly fund going out to local orphanages, you created a functioning way for employees to work from home while increasing productivity. I can go on for hours about the positive things you have done as Bruce Wayne.

Selina: You have done so much. Come home, sleep. Enjoy time with you’re family.

Bruce: I can’t do that, I can do more. I can help other companies, too.

Alfred: I remember one time, it was when you turned 5, your father was supposed to be at the hospital. However, the day before he had worked all day to make his patients feel better, so he could spend the next day with you. He wouldn’t have missed your birthday even if it would cause the end of the world. Master Thomas knew the importance of taking time off to spend time with his family. It is time that you do the same.

Bruce begins to tear up. He reflects on how often his father worked day and night, but regardless how often he worked, he always had time for him and his mother. He knew his father loved him with all his heart. Then he thought of Alfred. He wasn’t really his father but Bruce always saw him as one after his parents died. Alfred loves him as much as he loves his own family. 

Bruce: *rolls his chair back and walks over to hug Alfred* Thank you Alfred.

Alfred: Anytime sir.

Batman, Batwoman, Batgirl, Red Robin, and Orphan

*In the Blackgate Batcave*

Batman: What did we find?

Orphan: The threads under Julian’s finger nails came from a string outside of the prison meaning that it could be one of the employees who’ve killed him. Skin cells under his nails are being scanned now, and white hairs were found on his body. Also cheese is not called goat sex.

Red Robin: WHAT! *Dick and Tim start laughing hysterically* 

Batman: Why would you think that!

Batgirl: Jason told her. That’s beside the point though.

Red Robin: *whispers to Dick* What did you do?

Batman: *whispers to Tim* I don’t know.

Batgirl: Stop whispering, we can all see you!

Batman: Got it. Kate what did you find?

Batwoman: Day was in an extreme state of paranoia before he died. Talks about how he was going to tell the D.A. about corruption in Blackgate.

Batman: Interesting, did he say anyone’s name?

Batwoman: It’s not clear, but I would assume so.

Batman: That makes sense. When Red Robin and I interviewed his cellmate, Drury Walker, he said he was starting to suspect something was going to happen. He had suspicions that James Jr. was going to kill him.

Batwoman: If I had to assume, I would say the same. I noticed a large sum of reddish brown hair at the scene where the body was found.

Batgirl: There was white hair found on the body though. With Day being strangled the killer would be close enough to possibly have a few hairs fall onto his body.

Batman: Do you have a sample?

Batgirl: Obviously.

Batman: Okay, I’ll program the computer to scan it. I know it’s not ideal but we’ll find out in twelve hours. Tim, Cass, and Kate, go update Commissioner Gordon. Babs, do you mind if we talk for a moment.

Batgirl: Sure, if you feel like doing so now.

Batman: *takes off the cowl and mask* What’s wrong? 

Batgirl: How could you not tell me Helena was staying at the mansion!

Batman: I didn’t want you to overreact.

Batgirl: How could I not! One of your ex girlfriends is sleeping under the same roof you are!

Batman: Look, this conversation is a bit more complicated than I anticipated so we’ll talk more about it later.

Batgirl: You know what, do yourself one better and just don’t talk to me at all. *Barbara places her mask back on as she storms out*

Red Robin: *sneaks out from behind a door* I swear I totally wasn’t eavesdropping, but that sounded like it could have gone better.

Batman: Yeah, it could have. *Dick than walks out pulling the cowl over his head and placing his mask back on*

Batman and Batwoman

Batman: *knocks on the door*

Hugo Strange: Hello Batman, Batwoman! How may I assist you?

Batman: We have some more questions to ask you.

Hugo Strange: Please, come inside!

Batman: How has James Jr. been doing in his sessions?

Hugo Strange: He has been doing very well! Obviously he had to spend a small period in solitary for killing his cellmates but he is getting better. If he is a prime suspect you may look into his files.

Batwoman: When did you two last meet?

Hugo Strange: Yesterday.

Batman: When did you two conspire the death of Julian Day?

Hugo Strange: I’m sorry, what are you talking about?

Batwoman: *grabs Hugo Strange by the shirt and lifts him* DON’T PLAY GAMES WITH US STRANGE! ANSWER THE QUESTION!

Hugo Strange: I swear I don’t know what you’re talking about!

Batman: We saw that you transferred Day to Gordon’s cell! He has killed every cellmate he’s had! You were sentencing him to death!

Batwoman starts to shake Hugo Strange violently until a gun shot is heard from across the room. 

Batgirl, Red Robin, and Orphan

James Jr.: Hey Batgirl! I see you’re walking again, isn’t that such a neat surprise.

Red Robin: Shut up, James!

Batgirl: James, we want to know what happened?

James Jr.: ..........

Batgirl: Answer my question asshat!

James Jr.: Whoa little sis... I want to stay I was told to shut up!

Batgirl: Do you realize what’s happening?

James Jr.: I’m being interrogated.

Batgirl: You’re going to be transferred to Arkham. If you confess your time there could be reduced! 

James Jr.: Fine... I confess...... I cut open your teddy bear and filled it with razor blades when we were kids.

Batgirl flips the table and pins James to the wall, punching him in the head multiple times. Orphan then runs in, trying to help Red Robin to get Batgirl to stop punching James Jr.

Batgirl: Rot in fucking Arkham for all I care! You should have been sent there to begin with!

Batgirl, Red Robin, and Orphan begin to walk out the door before James Jr. lying on the floor yells.

James Jr.: WAIT! It wasn’t me, I promise!

Batgirl: Doubtful.

James Jr.: Red Robin, come on. I know you’re going to give me a chance. Hear me out.

Red Robin: Batgirl, let’s give him.....

Batgirl: NO! HE HAD HIS CHANCE! HE DECIDED TO WASTE IT!

Orphan: Batgirl. Please.

Batgirl: *stops in the hallway* Fine.

A few minutes later Red Robin is in the interrogation room with James Jr. with Orphan.

Red Robin: James Jr. Did you kill Julian Day?

James Jr.: No.

Off in the distance they all hear the gunshot from Hugo Strange’s office.

James Jr.: And there’s my proof.

Batman, Batwoman, Batgirl, Red Robin, and Orphan

Red lines flow down Hugo Strange’s face as blood pours from the hole in his forehead. Batman and Batwoman turn around to see who fired the shot, and are shocked to see Eduardo Flamingo. Batwoman drops the dead body of Hugo Strange as Flamingo fires three shots at both Batman and Batwoman. Both are unfazed by this and punch him in the face, causing him to fall back on the floor.

Batman: *picks up Flamingo* Who hired you?

Eduardo Flamingo: *cough* You just watched him die.

The GCPD arrives to the room and arrest Flamingo.

Commissioner Gordon: Freeze! You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.

He had confessed to everything. The murders, the contract Hugo Strange offered him to kill Day. No details was left out. By the time they all left the prison it was 12:30 in the morning.

Batman: Batgirl, let’s talk. 

Batgirl: I don’t want to talk.

Batman: Babs, if you won’t talk, then listen, please? *tears start to fill his eyes and make their way down his mask*

Batgirl: If anything, you listen to me *tears streak down her mask as well* I don’t know where I stand in this situation, and right now I really don’t care! For the time being don’t talk to me. *she takes out her grappling hook and leaves the four other members just standing there*

Batwoman: I’m not going to get too involved in this, but you know if you need to talk Dick, let me know.

Batman: Thank you.

The two hug and then go their separate ways.

Dick and Barbara

When they got home, Dick reached for his phone and started to text Barbara. He tried to explain how he never knew Helena was going to show up. How she showed up out of nowhere. How she is his everything, his world, and he doesn’t blame her for being skeptical but he still loves her. 

Barbara doesn’t want to read a word of Dick’s excuses. This has happened before when Dick was dating Koriand’r and Zatanna. Even before they were in a relationship, she knew he at one point was seeing multiple girls at a time. She doesn’t know if he is really sleeping with Helena behind her back, but she knows that she can’t trust Dick for the time being.

After his shower he walked to his room where he saw Helena laying on his bed in her costume. She then tosses his Nightwing costume at him.

Helena: Hey Dick, how about you throw that on and we do a bit of role play.

Dick: Cool, I’m into that. I’ll be Nightwing, the guy who loves Batgirl so much, and you’ll be Huntress, who sleeps on the first floor. You’re going to leave my room and I’ll lock my door for the rest of the night.

Helena: Rough night, lover?

Dick: I told you to stop calling me that.

Helena: I know, but I love it.

Dick: Helena, please just leave.

Dick just lied on his bed staring at his phone, wishing that Barbara would text him back. Fifteen minutes later he hears a knock at his door.

Bruce: Hey Dick! Are you okay?

Dick: What is this? Am I dreaming?

Bruce: No. I heard what happened. Just know if you ever want to talk about it, you can come to me. 

Dick: Thanks Bruce!

Bruce: Want to watch Avatar as a family? Damian told me how you talked him into watching it. I think it’s a fun idea!

Dick: *smirks* Sure!

They both walk downstairs to the media room as they see everyone down there already. He noticed Helena was sitting at the far end of the room so Dick considered sitting by Tim and Stephanie who seemed to have been chatting it up, but decided against it and sat near Damian. 

Dick: *leans over towards Damian*

Damian: Don’t you even think about it Grayson!

Dick: *wraps his arms around Damian* Come on, you know you love my hugs!

Damian: I will cut off your arms in your sleep,

Dick: You’re so adorable when you think you’re threatening.

The episode begins to play and everyone fell silent. As the second one ended everyone looked at Cassandra and Damian to get their reaction.

Cassandra: That was awesome!!! Let’s watch one more!

Damian: It is surprisingly entertaining. A little silly but intriguing.

Jason: WE KNEW YOU WOULD LIKE IT SUCKER!

Tim: One of the greatest shows ever!

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster screenshots featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series, Fiend Fusion, the Labyrinth of Amala, and more.

Characters

Dante (voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa)

The protagonist from Capcom’s action game series Devil May Cry. He appears before the protagonist as a demon hunter. Armed with two handguns and a huge sword, he sees the protagonist as one of the demons he needs to hunt down, and aims to kill him. In this game, if you purchase the “Maniax Pack” DLC, all of the scenes where Raidou Kuzunoha appears will be switched to Dante, allowing you to enjoy the events and battles with Dante instead.

Mysterious Old Man (voiced by Shinichirou Miki) and Lady in Black (voiced by Suzuko Mimori)

These two appear in the depths of the “Labyrinth of Amala,” where the protagonist initially finds himself in. They make a “request” to the protagonist. The Lady in Black seems to know the protagonist and speaks to him in a friendly manner. The goat ornamentation on the old gentleman’s cane seems to be familiar…

Demons

The Tokyo Conception lead to legendary entities, gods and demons, appearing out of nowhere. Sometimes they bare their fangs and attack, and other times they fight as allies. Some of the approximately 180 demons that appear in this game are introduced below.

[Kishin] Thor

[Fairy] Pixie

[Tyrant] Beelzebub

[Genma] Cu Chulainn

[Fallen] Decarabia

[Wilder] Mothman

Amongst the demons (Fiends), there are some that possess enormous power. It is said that if these demons are defeated, one will be able to obtain the Candelabra. Can the protagonist withstand these terrifying threats?

Matador

Pale Rider

Mother Harlot

Trumpeter

In this game, there are two mechanics that specifically relate to Fiends:

Fiend Fusion

A special fusion that differs from normal demon fusion in terms of fusion rules. By using the “Deathstone” item, a powerful Fiend can be created. However, in order to create a Fiend by fusing, you must first defeat them in battle. There are also various other conditions, but Fiends are powerful allies, so try to fuse with them.

Labyrinth of Amala

A special dungeon with five levels in all Kalpas. Each Kalpa has a complicated and difficult layout, where demons that appear are too powerful to even negotiate with in battle. In order to advance to deeper Kalpas, you’ll need Candelabra, which can only be obtained by defeating the Fiends. What awaits the protagonist in the Labyrinth of Amala’s depths?
