@devilrogue asked ; "Y'know, there's almost something charmin' about you at this age." Before the 'take over the demon world' attempts got super serious and Vergil lost all traces of his humanity? A mouthful, maybe, but the truth. Dante bent at the waist ( he'd never see Vergil shorter than him again, he had to relish it ) and pressed a finger to his lip, an amused hush-hush. "But you'll have to forgive me, can't give out any spoilers or anything. Would ruin the fun of it, right?"
❛ and has there ever been anything charming about you, at any age, dante ? ❜ vergil retorts back, a sly smirk on his face before rolling his eyes — as if he was interested in hearing what dante thinks about him at this age, or at any age. it wasn’t a friendly family catch-up he was looking for, he thinks before his ear perks up, watching dante alter his stance and finish his words.
was he mocking him ? a brow furrows as he shakes his head, sighing as he walks past him ; he had always been childish, and he was in no mood for such things. ❛ as if I wish to enquire any of that information from you, it means nothing to me as of now. but — no spoilers stop me from knowing i’ll defeat you, brother. ❜ despite his mood, he jests back, confidence brimming from his words as he glances around the office once more — he had seen it in other interactions on his travel many times. still, it was a first to meet this version of his pitiful younger brother, as he turns on his heel, staring back at the older man.
❛ but indeed. in any consolation though, you sound pleased with yourself to hide such things from me. i’ll allow you to have your fun, while it lasts. ❜ in the end, whether he hides it or not from him, he had firm belief and confidence that his plans will work out ( when time was fixed ). maybe the other was just ashamed to admit he was beaten for a change and him sitting sorry for himself in his re-built office was his future ?
dante had always been a sore loser after all.

nothing can break the bond between a friend who loves spoilers and a friend who just watched an amazing show and needs to tell someone the entire plot from start to finish

OH MY GOD!!! I AM SO GLAD I MANAGED TO AVOID SPOILERS, AND NO ONE SPOILED ME. THE SEASON 2 FINALE WAS EVERYTHING 😭😭😭😭😭 It turned me into an emotional mess!
If only Thor, Frigga and Odin could see him... They'd be so proud of him. I--Hang on...
If Loki is, and became... That means 😵😱
"Glorious Purpose", indeed..."

The realest part of the Barbie Movie was when Barbie was like "okay but what if this hurts his feelings? what if this makes him sad? :(" after Ken stole her house, stole her car, and stole her agency, because as a woman you still have to second guess everything you do on the assessment of whether it might hurt a man's feelings.
And then that apprehension was proven right one million times over by the entire Conservative Internet Manosphere pissing and shitting and screaming themselves hoarse over Barbie daring to hurt a man's feelings.

i love when words fit right. seize was always supposed to be that word, and so was jester. tuesday isn't quite right but thursday should be thursday, that's a good word for it. daisy has the perfect shape to it, almost like you're laughing when you say it; and tulip is correct most of the time. while keynote is fun to say, it's super wrong - i think they have to change the label for that one. but fox is spot-on.
most words are just, like, good enough, even if what they are describing is lovely. the night sky is a fine term for it but it isn't perfect the way november is the correct term for that month.
it's not just in english because in spanish the phrase eso si que es is correct, it should be that. sometimes other languages are also better than the english words, like how blue is sloped too far downwards but azul is perfect and hangs in the air like glitter. while butterfly is sweet, i think probably papillion is more correct, although for some butterflies féileacán is much better. year is fine but bliain is better. sometimes multiple languages got it right though, like how jueves and Πέμπτη are also the right names for thursday. maybe we as a species are just really good at naming thursdays.
and if we were really bored and had a moment and a picnic to split we could all sit down for a moment and sort out all the words that exist and find all the perfect words in every language. i would show you that while i like the word tree (it makes you smile to say it), i think arbor is correct. you could teach me from your language what words fit the right way, and that would be very exciting (exciting is not correct, it's just fine).
i think probably this is what was happening at the tower of babel, before the languages all got shifted across the world and smudged by the hand of god. by the way, hand isn't quite right, but i do like that the word god is only 3 letters, and that it is shaped like it is reflecting into itself, and that it kind of makes your mouth move into an echoing chapel when you cluck it. but the word god could also fit really well with a coathanger, and i can't explain that. i think donut has (weirdly) the same shape as a toothbrush, but we really got bagel right and i am really grateful for that.
grateful is close, but not like thunder. hopefully one day i am going to figure out how to shape the way i love my friends into a little ceramic (ceramic is very good, almost perfect) pot and when they hold it they can feel the weight of my care for them. they can put a plant in there. maybe a daisy.
