#VASH AND DANTE MENTIONED

[dangerousbride]

Wow, after watching the new DMC adaptation, I'm even more of a fan of Dante x Lady than I already was in canon. Not to mention the Ichiruki/Vash x Meryl parallelism of their interactions makes my shipper heart sing.

Aaaah, I'm so happy to read this!! It made me love danlady even more too!! 💓💓💓 And imo they met the best ship formula too so it's no wonder you saw paralelisms, and I really want to see how their dynamic evolves in the future 🙈

[spiralingemptyness]

continuing my uncanny ability to not be able to start a post properly, but this time with auto correct ✨turned off✨ so rip any spelling errors

why do twins, especially in media get so much shit thrown at them… and i dont mean shit as in ‘oh you guys are twins’ type of bullshit, i mean a fucking dupmpster truck load of trauma

and majority of the time, it has the same sort of coding, one was abandoned and the other lost/got stripped of their sense of self, oh and thats not mentioning the fact that each of them has no self preservation, but like sammme tho

Dmc - Vergil and Dante being forcibly separated, and then later on Dante having people leave him or people he cant save, while Vergil was tortured and stripped of his identity, memories, etc by Mundus (fuck you you skank-ass bitch) (i can rant about these two fuckheads more…. But i despise essays)

blue exorcist - Rin and Yukio, Rin sorta not really getting their adoptive father killed while having a more demonic side to him, which makes practically everyone nut trust him or afraid of him… fun. Yukio is a high achieving childhood prodegy and has also been known to be able to see demons since his childhood, which is why he started exorcism at like seven… fun

greek mythology - castor and pollux, pollux being the son of zeus and castor the son of Tyndareus, both mothered by Leda, were princes of sparda. Both saved Helen and were on the argonauts and have been told to have liked a multitude of different things.. blah blah, castor ends up dying and pollux being a demigod decides to say f u to immortality in order to stay with his brother, which created gemini

greek mythology- apollo and artemis, these two have been mainly shown to focus on the polar opposite part of being siblings, apollo being the sun and a literal man whore, while his older twin sister is the moon and has been known for choosing an oath to throw away marriage and that shit

That being said theres also toliet bound hanako kun, blood of zeus, the fucking mario brothers, even those jailers from persona 5, oh and lets not forget vash and knives from trigun, etc etc

being traumaless, ha, fuck that. Everyone wants the life spice, it adds flavor to the personality

[rubixa-seraph]

I've made a decision about my Trigun and Devil May Cry crossover where I want Vergil to call Knives out for being stupid.

I think I'll have an OC (and a few others mentioned) involved, purely because there are some other things that Knives needs to be yelled at about, but Vergil wouldn't have had the schooling to know to yell at Knives (and Vash for that matter) about what an actual healthy ecosystem or a healthy society is. (Vash might know better from Luida and experience but he has not experienced a healthy setup either.)

And neither would Dante. And quite frankly, I don't think Nero's education on Fortuna would have covered eco-sciences or social sciences to any worldly degree, either. (So Kyrie won't be of any help either.) Nicoletta is maybe the only one who went through what we would call a typical schooling system but that doesn't mean she cared to retain that knowledge, nor would she keep up to date on it. And even though Lady had a normal schooling for a while, it seems her schooling was interrupted by her family tragedy and her knowledge would be outdated if she had retained it at all.

So I need someone who had enough free time and enough "worldly schooling" to have a moment to look at Knives and Vash and tell them "you guys got one year of education and just ran with it, didn't you?"

Which, to be fair, I could make Patty fill that role, but I'd rather it be someone with demon blood and can deal with Knives.

So I think Snow, my OC that is Dante's estranged daughter, would be a good fit. But if that's the case, then I should let Nero reunite with my OC that is his mother, which would be Sera. (And Snow's mother, Kassy, would at least deserve a mention.)

Also, Snow has decent chemistry with her Uncle Vergil by this point, and it would be a bit fun to have them both handle Knives, while Dante might feel just a tad sorry for "the kid" (who is actually over a century older than them all haha.)

you can reblog memes from me as long as you send something in. It doesn't have to be the meme in question. Just don't use me as a meme resource.

I do allow duplicates to follow me. I tag my muses by "muse name ic" for ease of blacklisting in case there is a fandom you do not wish to see.

Many of the icons I use are icons I downloaded at some point over the years and are not made by me and I do not take credit for them. Many muses will not have icons and may be iconless for an indefinite period of time.

Standard rp rules apply, such as no godmodding and triggers being tagged.

my primary blog is @prideblades where I can be found at

muses do not have about pages at this time. However, you may ask for any clarification. I will be working on a gdoc for a quick and easy accessible about page OR I may decide on a carrd. This is a no frills no fancy blog for me to chill on when i get inspo for one of the muses listed blog and an effort to reduce my blog count down to 2. As such right now this blog is low activity, low priority but open to new interactions

muse list under cut and any muse can be requested, even ones listed as "selective". this just means that I may be picky about interactions with them but in general anyone can request any muse.

Younger Siblings Tournament Bracket Reveal

A few things I want to mention before I reveal the bracket (and make the post really long because all the matchups will be listed in text):

Seeding of fictional characters in tumblr polls is inherently subjective. I did try to make it so that more popular characters/media would (most likely) face off against each other in later rounds, but I may be overestimating or underestimating the popularity of some characters/media, especially ones I'm not familiar with. There are some round 1 matchups that are probably a closer match but none of them are between the strongest candidates... I think.

The more niche characters will probably get obliterated in the first round as per Squimbus' Law. This is a tumblr poll and I do fully expect more popular characters to sweep, but that doesn't mean you can't encourage your friends to give your niche faves a fighting chance.

Also there are some matchups I literally just thought would be funny. Please don't take this too seriously.

I'm sorry BNHA fans.

[longhands-the-second]

Thoughts on volume 1 (disorganized and very sparse, I don’t have the brain capacity for meta this week)

Greetings everybody! I probably won’t be super insightful or anything but I’d really like to have conversations with people (can’t convert my irl friends no matter how hard I try). I’ve really enjoyed reading about people’s thoughts in the tags this week.

Thank god for the people at trigun overhaul they are saving my ass so much time and money right now. It’s really accessible and I appreciate it very much, that shit could NOT have been easy or quick.

I was really iffy on Nightow’s style for a long time, but it’s growing on me pretty quickly. There’s something about that 90s style of manga I was never quite sure about, but Vash’s babygirl eyes are winning me over.

Manga Vash just kind of feels different already? He’s still Vash obv but he feels more blue as opposed to maybe a warmer color. There’s a palpable melancholy about him and it’s making me feel weird. Kind of like I’m seeing the reality of his character and situation? (*I should mention that I’m basing my picture of him on all animated material + a decent amount of manga spoilers.) Maybe part of that is the kind of baby face he has here. He looks younger but seems older? His eyes feel different. It’s the lashes, probably. He looks like a wet cat in a lot of these drawings because of those eyes.

Odds are decent that I’m just weird emotionally right now lol. Probably good this is scheduled to be read slowly instead of all at once. Maybe this is just putting into perspective that his Antics are for his own sanity as much as his image. I, too, make jokes to ignore the Existential Dread. He is more often visibly upset without the theatrics.

WAHOO! (<- obligatory Dante comparison)

Gonna flat color some pages. I have to get it out of my system. It’s killing me they’re like coloring pages I MUST.

The Plants are good and proper fucked up here, aren’t they. I see why Trimax people make Vash an eldritch monstrosity. Very excited to see how much of that is based in canon. Also, wings! (I am going to be normal about this (<- lying)).

Not to homestuck post on the trigun blog but Vash and Knives are so hope/rage coded. Could make an argument for like 4 different classpects for both of them but I’m not that dedicated. This isn’t related to the specific thing we’re reading, it's just on the brain right now. It’s a fun way to think about how character philosophies/personalities interact with each other.

Volume 1 complete! I like Meryl a lot more here. 98 gave me the wrong impression, I think, so seeing this stuff in its original context makes more sense. More often I find myself thinking “oh, that’s more reasonable than I thought.”

Overall I'm enjoying the manga more than I enjoyed my 98 rewatch so far. Once we get into the Meat I’ll probably like it more than Stampede (idk we’ll find out). It’s generally pretty rare for me to like manga more on account of whatever flavor of neurodivergent I am making it fucking impossible to focus on reading long enough for it to not be word soup. Knowing as much as I do about the adaptations is definitely helping with the reading comprehension.

Anyway, I've started coloring a few pages and I might start doing at least one or two per volume if time permits. Got carried away with these ones though. I’ll post them to the tag later.

[kobochajunkbox]

Who are your top 3 favorite characters of all time?

Hello! Okay so I read this and the first thing my brain proceeded to do was forget every single character I have ever loved ever in my whole life- jfdjgjr so that’s helpful- thanks brain!! AAAAA I've literally just stared at this like trying to figure out who would be my top 3 favs out of every piece of media I’ve ever enjoyed....and I just don’t think I can! I love sooooo many characters from so many things- it just feels impossible for me to decide! SO while struggling to answer this I got the fun idea to ask a few people who’ve known me a while who they’d guess my favs were based off who they could remember me gushing about at length in the past. XD Here’s what we came up with: Person A: 1)Goro Majima (Yakuza/Ryu Ga Gotoku- series) 2)Arthur Morgan (Red Dead Redemption 2) 3)Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney) (or as they put it: ‘eye patch guy’, ‘cowboy guy’, and ‘attorney guy’ respectively XD) Person B: 1)Dimitri (Fire Emblem 3 Houses) 2)Nero (Devil May Cry 5) 3)Vergil (Devil May Cry 5/or DmC Devil May Cry...I’ve talked about both a lot this past year lol) Person C: 1) Squall (Final Fantasy 8)/Cloud (Final Fantasy 7)-(apparently these were a tie) 2) Dante (Devil May Cry- could be any game in the series technically- but I’m guessing they meant DmC since he’s been my main Best Boy recently and I was talking with this person about him/the drawings I did of him the past few months) 3)Leon (Resident Evil- series) Person D: 1) ‘okay Leon for sure’ djhfjrherhtk (Resident Evil) 2)Jake/Sherry because you can’t have one without the other (Resident Evil 6- CORRECT- DO NOT SEPARATE THESE PRECIOUS CHILDREN djhgrbjbgjbr) 3)Dante (Devil May Cry- series)/Kiryu (Yakuza/Ryu ga Gotoku- series) Person E: 1)’Idk. Leon?’ (Resident Evil- series) kjhirknojw Honorable mentions were: Prompto (Final Fantasy XV), Vash the Stampede (Trigun), and Matsuno brothers- more specifically ’the blue guy’ (Karamatsu) and ‘the purple guy’ (Ichimatsu) from (Osomatsu-san) Okay so that was super fun!! XD By this I have been made to realize that I have apparently spoken quite a bit about Leon and Dante over the years dmfbjtgjr. XDDD To get an answer from me directly: I still don’t think I can pick overall top favs or anything...like I’d say it’s very dependent on what I’m very currently into as I ride the hype train of whatever I’m currently on, but like thinking of it as ‘characters I’ve continued to like for a long time’ (and that weren’t already mentioned), on the surface of my brain I came up with: Zidane (Final Fantasy 9), Tifa (Final Fantasy 7), and like Yosuke Hanamura (Persona 4). (Though I don't talk about them much ahah). XD Thanks for the ask! I hope it was somehow interesting if not very enlightening. Take care! :D

[dreaming-gamer]

Eyy! Now, I have a proper V HC request, hihi!😍😍😍❤❤❤🙈🙈🙈 The gang ( include anyone you want ) introducing V to his very first cosplay convention!😍😍😍❤❤❤ I'll patiently wait, my dear. I love your V HCs so much😍😍😍❤❤❤

Hello dear! <3<3<3 Thank you so much for liking my headcanons and the request! :D :D :D I’m sorry this one took so long, I should have posted this one much earlier but better late than never? *sweats* 

In any case, here we go! <3<3<3

Random headcanon: Cosplay convention

Nico:

Nico is the first one to jump at the idea when she finds out V has never been to a cosplay convention. She loves those because people just let their creativity flow and she is among them. Creating an impressive cosplay that lets her display her genius, oh that’s right up her alley.

Of course the work on the van and Nero’s Devil Breakers go first, but the Queen of Machines can juggle that and more if needs be. If she’s going to a convention, you can bet she’s going to show off something that’s flashy and functional.

She’s all for helping the others find something they want to dress up in as well, they don’t even have to take something as spectacular as she does, if they don’t want to. If they do, she’s all for helping them with something on the more mechanical style as sewing and fabrics aren’t her thing.

Honestly, she just wants her friends to come along, try the event out. If someone really doesn’t want to dress up, she won’t push the suggestion too much but if she can work on them for a bit, they might open up to it. She’s the one to convince V to come along, claiming she can find just the right character for him.

Though Nico is able and considered fixing a workable Gundam costume (complete with rockets and guns, could it get better?!), she ultimately chose Mei Hatsume from My Hero Academia as her own cosplay character because let’s face it, it would let her show off more of her creations.

The costume itself she found online, cheap and the inventions are the important part, so that’s all good for her. A prototype is customized to function as a flying skateboard for anyone who wants to try, an Overture is remodeled to set off (harmless) fireworks rather than demon-killing sparks, a Dr Faust replica with built-in video and audio to teach you Michael Jackson moves on the go, she brings an array of different inventions and many are a success with younger audiences.

Nero (& Kyrie):

Nero’s never been to a cosplay convention, he’s just as new to them as V is. As a kid, he wanted to dress up and go to gatherings like that because it looked fun and hopefully no one would look at him funny, as they did in the Order.

Now that he feels more secure in his own skin, having come to terms with his heritage and how he can use it to protect his family, Nero doesn’t feel the immediate need to dress up for the convention but when Kyrie mentions it might be fun, he falls for the suggestion.

Whenever the orphans’ clothes get holes, Kyrie fixes them with her sewing but she is uncertain she has the skills and the time to fix herself and Nero matching outfits in time for the convention, when they have both decided they’ll go. And Nico has convinced them that they’ll have the most fun if they dress up.

Nero is supportive, he’s fine with whichever costume Kyrie wants to do, he doesn’t push and he’s fine with just going as they are as well if it spares Kyrie some trouble, but the kids are very insistent. And Kyrie sometimes has a hard time saying no to them.

Knowing it’s one of Kyrie’s favorite Disney movies, Nero suggests Beauty and the Beast for the two of them. Kyrie wants Nero to have fun and get the whole experience by dressing up, but at first, she is a little bit hesitant about his suggestion. She never wants Nero to feel like she doubts him or his humanity ever again.

They have been through a lot and so, they just talk it out, ending the discussion with soft whispers of love and care and in agreement over their choice.

As for their costumes, they don’t buy anything new. They check their closets for anything unused or something that can just be adjusted. In their eyes, the details don’t have to be perfect as long as they are both having fun. Kyrie also has a field day trying to put make-up on Nero’s face for the Beast look. Honestly, she does a good job. And the clothes she adjusted for Nero’s blue Beast attire, as well as her own blue and white dress for Belle, look great and she feels proud over her work.

At the convention, Nero will make sure to keep an eye on her, make sure she won’t be dehydrated or stay on her feet for too long in queues. It’s mostly unexplored ground for both of them, but they have a lot of fun just people-watching and following the three orphans under their care around, as the boys point out characters that they know everywhere. If the boys don’t recognize someone, they’ll run right up and ask.

Their camera roll is full of pictures of other cosplayers and the kids posing at the end of the day. And Nico snuck in a few pictures of Nero and Kyrie as well.

Dante:

It’s a party, Dante’s interested, enough said. He doesn’t mind grabbing the most ridiculous outfits if it gives him the love of the crowd. At a convention, people of all ages gather so it will be some simple, awesome fun.

As for him choosing a cosplay, the Dr. Faust hat has made him realize he rocks wearing a hat so he initially thought of cosplaying Alucard from Hellsing but after realizing V would cosplay another Alucard, he switched gears. Actually, Dante might just prefer cosplaying a character that likes having fun, just like he does.

By coincidence, he found Vash the Stampede from Trigun and though there is no hat involved, hey, the guy rocks red just as well as Dante does and he uses guns. Does Dante know anything about the character? Not really but that doesn’t stop him from rocking it. Plus, Dante already has red clothes, it’s just a matter of going into character because adjusting those clothes, he knows not how to do.

At said convention, he instantly clicks with a Deadpool cosplayer and they dance to Michael Jackson songs. They also photobomb some cosplay shoots, all in good fun. He lives for the spirit of people just having fun and humans just being humans, gathering thanks to a common interest.

Dante is the type who comes to a convention with several outfits. Or at least he would, if he had enough money for it. Since most of his paycheck goes to keeping the gas, water and electricity at Devil May Cry running, he resorts to simple, but effective ways to show off character, both his own and from other series.

V:

When the idea of going to a cosplay convention is first introduced to him, along with what it actually entails, he’s a bit skeptical. Nico telling him that there will be a ton of people doesn’t really sell him on it as he’s not that fond of crowds. But hearing that many will dress up as characters from stories they enjoy catches his attention. If he agrees to go, maybe he should be sure to make the most of it. And when Nico notices that shift in his demeanor, she keeps pushing him to join, juuust a bit.

For V, cosplay sounds like a way to show appreciation for characters and the stories they star in. Being the big fan of literature and poetry that he is, this aspect of the event does trigger his interest but when Nico gives him the idea to try out cosplay himself, she suggests that he shouldn’t go with cosplaying William Blake. Griffon laughs out loud at the mere idea but his suggestion of V cosplaying as a Disney princess (the orphans under Nero’s and Kyrie’s care have tried to show the avian various Disney movies, further adding to his arsenal of nicknames for V), is equally shot down.

V does want to put some thought and care into who to cosplay, but he also acknowledges his lack of sewing skills and is not too into the thought of buying a costume for himself with his limited funds. Kyrie offers to help but he is hesitant to accept it, seeing how she is trying to make something wearable for both herself, Nero and three little boys.

Ultimately, Nico and surprisingly, Dante become his greatest helpers. The childhood home of the sons of Spardas might have mostly fallen apart, but there are still some of their father’s old black robes in one of the rooms. It needs some adjustments, being too big on V’s lean frame, but the length is pretty spot on.

Nico demonstrates an automatic multi-tool that includes both measuring and sewing capabilities, as well as a laser pointer and a demon alarm that accidentally trips when Griffon is present. V doesn’t ask why she saw the necessity to put all of those functions together, but in the end, two of them are helpful for their situation. And she will show it off at the convention, as part of her genius.

How Dante does it, V doesn’t know, but one day, a long blonde wig is delivered to Devil May Cry, perfect for his decided cosplay. Turns out Dante’s flirt with the lady at the costume shop was helpful.

Ultimately, V feels very satisfied with his appearance as Alucard from Castlevania. The black robes are a different material from his regular leather vest but it’s still in black and thus, he feels right at home in it rather quickly. The long blonde wig takes some more time to adjust to.

What he had not anticipated were people asking to photograph him in this getup but thankfully, V took his time to research his character’s lines and mannerisms. Alucard is a gentleman, so V doesn’t find it very hard at all.

During the convention, Nero and Kyrie have enough on their plate, keeping an eye on the boys, so Nico usually stays close to V. Their chosen media are not anything alike, but that hardly matters. Nico is easily swept up in the excitement of the convention and seeing her makes V think that letting loose once in a while isn’t so bad.

Griffon stars in V’s cosplay as well, dressed up as a bat.

The next day, V will be a bit socially exhausted. Expect him to keep to himself with his book and tea for a good remainder of the day.
