dante Yayayay
I love dante from the hit video game series devil may cry because he is somehow both the coolest motherfucker in the room but also a complete loser. he has soloed some of the most powerful beings in existence. he is constantly surrounded by beautiful women and yet he gets with none of them. he and his twin brother both suffer from a chronic case of The Cain Instinct. he rides around on a demon-powered motorcycle. his favorite pastimes are kicking ass and taking names, and also dance dance revolution. he has “been stabbed and jabbed by many things over the years.” he is obsessed with strawberry sundaes. he is constantly broke as shit because he keeps giving away his money to people who’ve lost their homes to demon attacks, but also because he refuses to eat anything except for pizza and flakes out on jobs because he got bored. he fist-fought his nephew in the vatican. he truly is the character of all time.
Exploring the mechposting tag lately because of Angry Lesbians in Mechs webnovel that I am currently writing, and:
Okay, yes, sure, pilot/handler pairs, but I don’t want the psychosexual submissive drooling attack dog/manipulative abuser dynamic. That’s been covered to the moon and back. Give me colleagues. Give me equals. Give me two devastatingly competent adults with a dynamic that’s as complicated, full, nuanced as each half of the pair themselves. Give me a variety of relationship tones - mentor/student, sibling/sibling, frienemies, embittered rivals, coldly efficient coworkers, platonic but deeply entangled teammates, dancer/choreographer, artist/muse, co-captains, life partners, all against the same backdrop of 24/7 high-octane, necessarily intimate coordination. Give me something new.
More power to those who appreciate the popular tropes, but there’s tons of potential here that I think stands to be more deeply explored.
I think that burger made his tummy hurt :(
Quick sketch of something that hit me in the afternoon.
almost sobbing trying not to laugh at this ai slop ad. is there no quality checking at ANY point in this process? not the ai generator? not the person okay-ing the ad? not tumblr?
DMC3 Dante getting Devil Trigger: Loses a fight and is stabbed through the chest by Vergil as a final statement of where their relationship lies. A permanent line drawn in the sand as his own brother, his only family left, rips the last memento from their mother off his neck and leaves him for dead in this mad bid for power.
Ninja Theory Dante getting Devil Trigger: Literally breaks the last chain that locked away his childhood memories of what really happened to his mother and how he ended up alone. An image of his late mother apologizes for not being able to protect him and hopes this power grants him the freedom he's been hunting for his whole life.
Netflix Dante getting his Devil Trigger: He fell out of an aired plane and got weally scawed. :(
