Ahh ok so dmc 4 Nero around his crushhhh. Like we have seen how much of angsty and moody teen it was, so I think it is gonna be super hard for him to be around his crush as one hand he wants win over them while on other he don't want to leave his comfort zone (which is just being a loner). Do you think he will break the character if like his crush asks him to accompany on his roaming around the town?? (Btw love your account, finally Nero getting the love he deserves yesss 💐)

public date with (dmc4) nero headcanons‼️✨

i think this was what you were asking for... feel free to correct me if not!! will totally make another post :3

and yes i agree!! nero deserves way more love and attention than he gets <3 pretty sure i've read every fic and oneshot this site has to offer lmao i had to resort to ao3... tumblr is my default for fics and stuff bc i still struggle to navigate ao3 😭 i'm glad you like my account!!! thank you!!!!! 💙💙💙

g/n!reader

he's very awkward for sure. doesn't know what to say or how to act

he brings you flowers!! he's a little blushy too, he gets really flustered, especially when you smile

he's head over heels and trying so hard not to show it 😭 it's really cute actually

if you're just roaming around town, he kinda just. follows you around

he doesn't care where you guys go, he just wants to be with you!! he gets really busy sometimes and doesn't really go to mass (if you tend to go to mass, he sometimes will as well but it's kinda rare because he'd honestly rather just rest)

overall he's kind of the same, but a bit less foul-mouthed (unless you're the same way). you'll find that he "breaks the character" more if you guys are alone

these kinda suck grrr i'm sorry omg

HCs on Nero introducing his partner to Dante and Vergil for the first time?

sorry this took so long, i had a friend over!!

g/n!reader

VERGIL:

he's the same as always obv

he's very stoic and short with you, but he's polite as long as you are

he tries rly hard not to be snarky LOL because nero obviously loves you a lot

and he's trying to be a decent father so. this is a way. i guess 😭 he's awkward okay

DANTE:

dante is... dante

lotta teasing!! especially teasing nero

"oooh nero's sooo in looove~~" and nero fucking hates him for it (/lh)

overall nice guy tho!! he just likes teasing nero but otherwise he's pretty chill

not my best work, so sorry 🥀/gen

[basically-neroland]

what kinds of video games do you think nero plays? i can totally see him loving survival games (with valheim being his favorite) and spending hours building his bases!

so i asked my (platonic) girlfriend for help with this one because she's one of the biggest gamers i know. i also asked my sister because she's another one of the biggest gamers i know LOL

pgf answered with bayonetta (haha), guilty gear, street fighter and tekken

sister answered with shooter games and horror games with gore but gave no specifics

i also think he'd like playing cozy games with his partner. so animal crossing, stardew valley, etc. he'll play these on his own sometimes if he can't sleep but is too tired to play a fighting/survival game, or if he just wants a change of pace. he doesn't always wanna play a fighting/survival game after fighting and surviving all day because of his job lolz

HCS on Nero with a plus size/curvy reader???

Have a lovely day/night make sure to hydrate and take care of yourself and if you don't I'm eating your socks. 👿

i am not plus size so sorry if this is. bad. i asked my sister for help but she had pretty much the same ideas as me so it's not my best work 🥀 sorry this took so long 😭

nero x plus size/curvy!reader headcanons‼️✨

g/n!reader

oh he loves it.

kneads you like a cat because he highkey is one. and he's purring the entire time.

he's like a walking talking heater, but he still loves how warm you are

skinny or not, he loves when you lay on top of him, but he especially loves that you're kinda like a weighted blanket

he loves using your thighs as a pillow while you rub his head or something

comforts you whenever you feel bad about your weight and assures you that he loves you just the way you are and that he thinks you're gorgeous (g/n) no matter what

also please don't eat my socks 💔💔

I find a lot of comfort in nero, he's my favorite lil guy. How do you think he would help a trans partner with their dysphoria?

sorry for taking so long on this omg 😭

nero with a trans partner‼️✨ (dealing with dysphoria)

there's a section for ftm and one for mtf! i don't wanna leave anyone out by just doing general headcanons!! i know how that feels 😭

DISCLAIMER:

1. these are not specifically binary! ftm and mtf stand for female to male and male to female BUT in this case they stand for feminine to masculine and male to feminine! i said i don't wanna leave anyone out and i meant that :)

2. i am not mtf, i am ftm!! some things may be inaccurate but i did my best to fill in the blanks, and i also asked transfems on reddit what they like/would like to be told! i also asked my trans girlfriend (platonic) and she helped a lot as well 💙

general:

reminds you that he likes girls and guys and will always love you either way!! he genuinely doesn't give two shits what your gender OR what your sex is

always holds you if you start crying (unless you don't want to be touched ofc) and listens to everything you say. he just lets you rant and then starts disputing everything when you're done

cuddles you and attacks you with kisses. he generally does this when you're sad but he wants you to know he loves you the way you are. there's nothing about you that he would change for himself. if he could change parts of you that YOU wish were different, he would

FTM:

tries to make sure you aren't overbinding even when you're feeling really dysphoric. he knows it sucks (to say the least) but he doesn't want you to hurt your ribs either

never ever makes height jokes, especially if you're actually short. lets you try to get things on your own unless you ask him for help. he likes lifting you up on his shoulders so you can still be the one to actually grab it! just watch your head 😭

never ever touches your chest on purpose except to rest his head on it, but he'd do that regardless of if you had boobs or not. he just likes resting his head there because he can listen to your heartbeat that way.

honestly he avoids touching anywhere you don't like about yourself (main example: hips) if you're feeling dysphoric because he doesn't want to bring attention to said disliked area. however if you bring it up to him he'll start touching you there again—he loves all of you, he just doesn't wanna make you feel worse

takes care of you when you're on your period without even bringing attention to it being your period. he just does things wordlessly. if he notices you shifting around a lot he'll ask if your stomach hurts, not if it's cramps. then he gets you a heating pad and offers you a tylenol. stuff like that. will cuddle you and purr extra loud to help with the cramps! i love when cats do that

MTF:

will always tell you how beautiful (and/or cute if that's what you prefer) you are if he notices you're having a hard time, even if you don't say anything. he'll say it as many times as you need him to.

nicknames like pretty girl, princess, beautiful, etc.

might make height jokes because it's kinda hard to be taller than him 😭 idk even if you're technically tall, he'll make a short joke every now and then

again, so much sarcasm!! ("oh yeah my girlfriend totally looks like a dude" while rolling his eyes harder than ever in his life) ("yeah she's so strong she can totally move the refrigerator. OBVIOUSLY I MOVE IT SO SHE CAN SWEEP THERE!!!" [whether you can actually move it or not doesn't matter, he's gonna move it for you])

"does [insert character or person] look like a guy to you? okay so you don’t either. hush." and then proceeds to cuddle the fuck outta you so you know how much he loves you

sorry the ftm ones are so much more detailed but again, i'm ftm so it's my area of expertise 🥀

my platonic girlfriend (queer-platonic relationship) really helped with those last two headcanons LOL. literally copy/pasted the joke in the last hc and the first joke in the hc above it. turns out nero x transfem is pretty much just be and my pgf uhm oops 🕴️ (this happens frequently)

a prompt for "coming out to him" headcanons have been in my notes app for a while! they'll be out by the end of pride month teehee

[basically-neroland]

thoughts on nero's purring and demonic instincts? i've been spamming you with asks but i can't help myself! sorry ^^

i love the way you think‼️ and dw about spamming me i appreciate the requests!! <3 they help a lot more than you would think LOL

nero's demonic instincts headcanons‼️✨

g/n!reader

he's had them since his arm changed from normal and human to demonic (contrary to popular belief, he was not born like that!! according to deadly fortune, he was protecting kyrie and some kids a month prior to the events of dmc4, got injured and THAT'S when his arm changed.)

he hid his arm from everyone at first, including you, but you could see the sudden change in him

suddenly he was a lot more physically affectionate. lots of unnecessary touches, but you didn't think much of it

i've seen this headcanon that all the spardas scent the people they have interest in like a cat. that's basically what nero is doing by touching you, but he doesn't know it

suddenly strangely cuddly when you guys hang out. eventually he took a leap of faith and told you what happened to his arm because he put two and two together 😭

once you knew the truth and promised not to tell, he let loose and just cuddled you and started purring

with his new arm came the need to protect. he always had the need to protect the people important to him, but now it was way more intense. he was lowkey anxious and would periodically wonder what you were doing and if you were safe 😭

before AND after the events of dmc4, he always avoided touching you with his demon arm because he was scared of hurting you. idk if this is canon or not but the thing had a fucking lust for blood, so he always kept it as far away from you as he could

in general he's very gentle with you because he's scared he might accidentally hurt you (he's still like this even if you're a demon hunter too. he just cares about you so much, he'd rather fucking die than hurt you)

his purring is usually pretty quiet and kind of airy. he's just a chill guy! but it gets louder if you rub his head or his back or anywhere really. again, huge cat!

it doesn't matter where you cuddle, he loves you so much and you make him so happy that he just starts purring against his will

one of my fav headcanons i've seen that i chose to also headcanon is that he makes a little chirping noise just for you, and if you mimic it he gets so fucking happy even though it's physically impossible for you to perfectly replicate the sound. it's basically "i love you" on steroids. he gets even happier if you chirp first

not exactly related to demon instincts and stuff but here's a bonus!! i've seen this headcanon a couple times that nero's DT is literally an infant child of a demon even tho he's like 22 and i love that headcanon so. it's true idc it's just a baby

i hope these are what you were looking for!! <3 sorry if not 🥀

[basically-neroland]

fluffy, sweet domestic nero headcanons? pretty please? :)

yeah fs‼️ i love domesticity headcanons <3 thx for the request!! g/n!reader

loves waking up next to you. he loves that you're the last thing he sees at night and the first thing he sees in the morning

he loves watching you do the most mundane things. washing the dishes? he's hugging you from behind. sweeping? he's just staring from the couch

it gives him a sense of normalcy that he really appreciates and enjoys

loves cooking with you. he's a decent cook so he'll take the lead if you're a disaster in the kitchen 😭

like i've said, he's a huge cuddler. loves watching tv with you while cuddling and especially loves when he gets to lay on top of you and you play with his hair/rub his head

takes care of you so good when you get sick

if you like painting your nails, he loves doing that with you too!! he likes when you paint his nails and he likes painting yours

if you're into occasional 'spa days' he's down to join you

honestly he just likes spending time with you, no matter what it is, but god knows he needs self-care stuff like this cuz i feel like the extent of his self-care is winding down with video games and/or music 😭

i feel like fortuna has a lot of stray cats. he always would stop and pet them and stuff, but when you moved in you started insisting that you guys feed them as well. he agreed and that's just a thing you do now

you guys can be hanging out and you just hear yowling. you immediately do rock paper scissors to see who has to go out and feed them because that's how you know the bowls are empty LOL

sometimes you go out and fill them together :)

loves randomly dancing with you!!

[basically-neroland]

nero's internalised homophobia headcanons‼️✨

male!reader this time!!

despite not being religious himself, he IS surrounded by religious people. fortuna's religion is heavily influenced my catholicism, so they're definitely homophobic

he grew up being told that it's wrong for boys to like other boys or for girls to like other girls and that it was gross, etc.

he wasn't the type of homophobe that would beat you up or something if you were gay. he'd be a little put off and grossed out, but other than that he doesn't rly care. it's none of his business and he won't tell anyone (not like he rly talks to anyone anyway LOL)

for most of his life, he didn't have an issue with himself because he didn't know he liked guys

and then you came along, and he finally felt something more than a fleeting attraction

you were on his mind all the time, he wanted to be around you all the time

if you went to mass, so would he even though he hated it and always fell asleep without headphones

he'd find excuses to come see you

he got weak in the knees every time you smiled, his heart skipped a beat every time you laugh, his chest got warm every time you touched him even a little

he felt happier overall when he got to see you. it made his day.

but once he realised he had a crush on you, he felt so fucking sick with himself

eventually he decided to distance himself, even though it made him fucking miserable

you were still on his mind way more than he would've liked. he missed everything about you

you kind of assumed he was just busy, but eventually you confronted him and asked if he was doing okay

he lied and said he was fine before trying to walk away, but you didn't let him. you knew him well enough to know when he was lying about his feelings

also he's a horrible liar when it comes to you 😭

this time you straight-up ask why he's avoiding you, and he tries to deny it, but you know he's been avoiding you.

you end up dragging him to your house and cornering him (exaggeration) in your room until finally spilled why he was avoiding you

he stammers his way through a confession—he has a huge crush on you, he knows it's disgusting and he's sorry, and then jumps like hell when you put your hands on his shoulders and confess that you're gay as hell

and he just stares at you in shock as you tell him you have a crush on him too and it's okay to like dudes.

you guys don't get in a relationship immediately, nero isn't ready for that—he has the homophobia issues to work through

but you aren't exactly friends either. you're more than that

you help him work through the issues by slowly getting him comfortable with (private) displays of affection, like cuddling and holding hands and kisses on the cheek, stuff like that until he stops feeling so gross for liking you

by the time he's worked through the worst of the homophobia, he's even more head-over-heels than before!

secret relationship headcanons coming soon‼️ :)

[basically-neroland]

😘

lmk if i need to make a replica on apple music and/or youtube... i wanna make things accessible even tho it ain't all that special LOL but also there's not a lot of nero playlists on spotify?? i swear i've looked at all of them

[basically-neroland]

your posts make my day! could we get some cuddling hcs with our precious boy? thank you in advance!!

cuddling with nero headcanons‼️✨

thx for the request!! i'm glad you like my posts <3

i love cuddling headcanons so much, INCOMING‼️💥💥

g/n!reader

like i've said before, nero LOVES cuddling. he loves cuddling and being cuddled.

he was so touch-starved before you came along

he's super clingy but it's okay cuz he's cute as hell

loves being the big spoon but sometimes he needs to be held too

loves laying with his arms around your waist and his head on your chest listening to your heartbeat

loves touching your bare skin so he'll put his hands up your clothes sometimes, but it isn't always a sexual thing. he just rly likes skin-to-skin contact, it makes him feel closer to you

kisses your shoulders and the back of your neck whenever you guys are spooning, he's so lovey

rubs his face on you like a cat and purrs right in your ear because cuddling makes him feel so safe and happy

sometimes he ends up falling asleep on top of you. this man is HEAVY, you couldn't move if you wanted to 😭🙏🏼

loves when you rub his head/play with his hair, it makes his knees weak and his brain just kinda shuts down a little LOL

sometimes when you cuddle he'll just start yapping about how much he loves you and how attractive you are. he loves you to bits

he'll cuddle you in silence, with music in the background or while watching tv or a movie. he doesn't care, as long as you guys are cuddling he's happy

his demonic hand is basically a nightlight. it glows a little brighter every time he inhales and then dims when he exhales and it's rly comforting

hope these are good!! 💙💙

[basically-neroland]

tysm for ur work 💕 would u have any nero relationship hcs? 🙏

hi, thanks so much for the request!! here's some general relationship headcanons :) there's a few that are repeated from my first headcanons post. g/n!reader

he's so completely whipped like you wouldn't believed. he loves you more than anything

he'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe

he really just wants to make you happy. he'd rather fucking die than hurt you

if you get hurt by a demon or something, he gets really guilty. blames himself entirely because he feels like he should've killed the demon before it got anywhere near you

if you get into a fight, he's almost the first to apologise (unless you undeniably started it, then he refrains. he has some level of self-respect)

had a little box under his bed filled with letters he tried to write to you but could ultimately never give. once you guys moved in together, he stashed them somewhere in the garage where you'd never find them lol

music-lover that loves making playlists for his partner!!

a little bit of a yapper but loves hearing you yap even more. he honestly zones out a little sometimes but that's just because he loves hearing you talk, it's not that he isn't interested

not huge on pda beyond handholding and an occasional kiss on the cheek or peck on the lips. he's more comfortable in private

not really the jealous type but everyone has their moments, including him. please never forget that he lowkey has abandonment issues 😭🙏🏼

main love languages are acts of service and gift-giving, but it's flexible. he's not good with words, so if your main love language is words of affirmation, he'll do other things to try and make up for it

whispers and mumbles about how much he loves and adores you and how attractive he thinks you are when he's half asleep or thinks you aren't awake (if you're insecure/have self-esteem issues and wonder if he really loves you, this is your main source of undeniable reassurance)

not good with words but if you ask him how you look, he'll tell you you're gorgeous regardless of your gender. he's not just being nice either, you just always look amazing to him

his preferred kinds of affection are physical affection and words of affirmation. he's not good at accepting compliments or praise but it means a lot to him

if you tell him you're proud of him it makes him all weak in the knees and he gets that feeling in his chest like he's gonna cry 😭 he usually shrugs it off but you know him well enough to know he's really emotional on the inside

such a cuddler and loves being cuddled. first thing he does after a long day is take a shower. second thing he does is sit/lay down next to you and cling to you for the rest of the night

rubs his face on you like a cat, usually while purring

100% gives the best hugs. he isn't super touchy with people other than you, but he'll give a hug to anyone that asks for it. that being said, if nico asks for a hug, he's gonna assume she's about to tase him or something

wants to marry you someday so fucking bad

if you drink at parties, he'll stay sober so he can take care of you later. usually the designated driver for this reason

[basically-neroland]

i started this blog yesterday 😀

[basically-neroland]

nero sleep headcanons‼️✨

falls asleep fast as fuck most of the time

he totally sleeps shirtless most of the time. he overheats easily and wants to prevent that

he either sleeps on his stomach or clings to you, there's no in-between

he definitely snores a lot of the time, but it's super quiet and isn't obnoxious

he also drools a little sometimes 😭

he's usually an early riser! if you aren't a morning person, he's usually out of bed by the time you wake up

he's a light sleeper unless you're around. if you're with him he sleeps like a fucking brick and good luck waking him up 💀🙏🏼

that being said, if you get out of bed he'll wake up pretty quick

has a hard time getting back to sleep after having a nightmare, especially if it's a nightmare about you

if you guys are engaged or married, he'll just fidget with the ring on your finger to remind himself that you're safe, alive and breathing right next to him

sometimes he'll give up on sleeping and go watch tv or something in the living room. sometimes you find him passed out on the couch in the morning depending on how tired he was

sometimes when he wakes up and you're still asleep, he'll stay in bed a little longer and just cuddle you while whispering how much he loves you and how much you mean to him

sometimes you'll actually be awake when he does this but you pretend to be asleep so he keeps talking. he isn't very verbally affectionate when you're both fully awake, so you just enjoy it while it lasts. you pretend it never happened so he doesn't get embarrassed <3

i said it before and i'll say it again—he makes the cat activation noise if you wake him up while he's dozing off!!

sometimes starts purring in his sleep if you stroke his hair or rub his back or something. again, he's just a big cat

[basically-neroland]

i got hit with inspiration suddenly so here's

headcanons of nero as a dad‼️✨

these headcanons are where he's the bio dad, so whether the kid was birthed by a surrogate or the reader, he's the dad. reader is g/n.

100% a girl dad and i know plenty of people agree

sweetest dad ever, he's never loved anything more than this child and he's shocked that he helped make it

will kill for his kid. literally will do anything to protect them, whatever it takes

will let the kid paint his nails for sure, he loves having his nails painted (see my first headcanons post teehee)

has zero shame about playing dress-up or having tea parties if his kid likes that kind of thing. nico can tease him for it all she wants, he doesn't care. it made his kid happy and that's all he cares about. kyrie thinks it's adorable

cried his eyes out when he first held the kid. they got your eyes and his hair colour and they were completely perfect in every way

he was so happy when their first word was whatever form of dad you imagine him being called

100% started teaching the kid how to use a sword as soon as they could walk without falling over. got hit in the shins with that wooden sword a lot, lots of bruises

probably the reason your kid randomly said a swear word. he looked up so fast he almost snapped his neck 😭 baby's first swear word!! /j

could probably come up with some more headcanons, including for teenagehood!!
