what do you regret most?

ASK PROMPTS ABOUT THE PAST & REGRET

@dantes--rebellion

Vergil was somewhat caught off guard by the question, but he wasn't about to make it apparent to his twin that he was genuinely surprised. He slightly pursed his lips as he mulled over his answer.

There were a lot of things he regretted - teaming up with that scum Arkham, fighting Mundus alone, briefly ridding himself of his humanity, all simply for the sake of gaining power. However, he couldn't bring himself to say such a thing because that would mean admitting that everything he had done for the past several years had all been for nothing.

He steeled himself as he turned his icy gaze toward Dante. "My biggest regret...was leaving you and Mother behind."

good evening dmc enjoyers

It's actually really interesting that Yamato is mostly Vergil's sword and Rebellion is Dante's sword. Vergil is more indifferent towards humanity and has a sword that seems quite protective of it's owners, Vergil and Nero respectively, actively traveling to their aid, whereas Dante is more protective towards humanity but has a sword that seems more indifferent towards him, only really helping him out when he gets stabbed with it.

Hozier sings in English, lucky for me to understand him, lucky for him to make good money, but remember the violence that made our world Anglophone, the Gaelige of his homeland will always sound foreign, a poet cut off from his mother tongue.

A butchered tongue is a tragedy, more poignant when the message comes from such a blessed tongue, a talented singer and lyricist.

What other voices have been lost.

i'm in the middle of doing something else right now + i don't normally make posts like this so this is going to be pretty poorly put together, but..

re:dmc1 novel, is gilver actually supposed to be vergil? i personally always assumed he was (+ and was therefore responsible for the resulting massacres etc.) until i last reread a few days ago:

for those unaware: the DMC1 novel mainly features demons that inhibit the corpses of dead humans. there are some instances of demons that don't possess any corpses which are described as "scythe-swinging shadows", but the main focus are the possessed corpses.

“Humanity was born a race of our slaves.” Gilver pressed harder on his weapon, and a thin stream of red blood rolled down Grue's neck. “Inhabiting the corpses taxes our strength and limits our numbers. But soon we will be able to migrate to this plane in our own prepared bodies.” (pg. 120)

The bandaged man [Gilver] radiated an aura of decay. (pg. 149)

however, dante does mention that gilver "doesn't smell like" the other demons. i left in the rest of the lines in mainly because i found gilver's characterization and dialogue here interesting:

“What are you, man? You don't smell like those other things.” “You don't need to know. In any case, I'm going to crush you.” Dante shrugged. “That's a fitting line for a villain.” “Your absurd labels are meaningless.” Gilver cackled behind his bandages. “The victor will be called the hero by future generations. Arguing about good and evil is pointless.” (pg. 172)

addt. gilver repeatedly separates himself from not only humans, but also dante:

“Do you have any questions, Dante? You have treacherous blood in you.” (pg. 172)

[...] Gilver finally pronounced. “You have our blood coursing through your veins. You're the mongrel half-breed offspring of a human and a demon. And you betrayed our side.” (pg. 173)

“This is your world,” he finally said. “Yes. The demon world is replacing yours. It will spread out from this nexus until finally everything is consumed.” Gilver hefted his sword, seemingly recovered from Dante's last attack. “This place is a cancerous blight to incomplete souls like you. [...] (pg. 180-181)

..... which is interesting, because throughout all of the novel dante has had trouble existing for any amount of time in the demon realm. whatever amount of devil blood in him doesn't help him and he struggles to stay awake and fight, even at the barrier between the two worlds. that said, gilver very obviously has access to some amount of demon power, mainly as shown through their battle in which he dons his.. demon armour lol

there are multiple other things that i didn't feel like touching upon right now, and the biggest issue is that... this is goikeda and kamiya's vision, not itsuno's. so it's possible that this IS actually vergil as the two wanted to write him, but considering this takes place just before DMC1.. it really could be possible that vergil's just been something considered dead, right?

... or maybe it is vergil and he just has blood on his hands and wanted dante to suffer, like i initially assumed. if anyone has any opinions or disagrees with me, please feel free to say as much :P i'd really like to analyze this book more and try to relate it to other DMC lore but it really is pretty difficult with how much has been retconned throughout the franchise. thanks for reading!

This is what I live for! by Pills-in-a-cup

[lostsonofsparda]

“With everything you’ve been through lately, of course you’re tired.”

exhaustion … sentence starters

@dantes--rebellion

Vergil shifted his gaze toward his twin, slightly raising an eyebrow. Tired was one hell of an understatement. He went for years with only the clothes on his back and finding rest whenever he could. The only thing keeping him moving was his undying thirst for more power.

Nowadays, he could feel the years of exhaustion seeping into the core of his being. For once, he didn't have to worry where his next meal was coming from or if something might stab him in the back in the middle of the night. The idea of safety was a foreign concept, but he had slowly learned to let his guard down now that Dante was back in the picture.

Still...

The blue Sparda let out a soft sigh as he let his mind wander. "I never thought I would be able to feel anything, let alone exhaustion. But I suppose after this previous bout, it was to be expected. At least I can rest easy now..."

October 1st, 2022 || I initially drew DMC3 Dante in his DT form as a gargoyle as I followed the original 1nktober prompt not knowing the controversies behind it. I do love how it turned out but I’m glad I switched prompts 2-3 days later.
