In Honor Of Dmc Netflix Trailer Dropping Have Some Old Dmc Sketchies

You know what I often find a bit confusing when it comes to the general fan perception of dmc?

How casual they portray the boys harming each other.

Don't take me wrong, yes, the favorite past time of our overpowered twins is fighting, therefore stabbing, punching and otherwise hurting each other. And yes, with their healing it's kinda a moot point how much they damage each other, it'll heal in a jiffy, and yes, it's probably a big part of their demonic instincts burgeoning on their natural sibling rivalry.

But whenever they harm each other in canon it is always when they both expect it. Like, there's always a clear wind up to them going at each other's throats, a figurative nod of their head before they engage. They don't just, stab each other in a casual setting, without any reason, or break each other's bones willy nilly. There are unspoken rules to these interactions, ones they follow both.

They could hurt each other at any moment, they absolutely could. But that's not how you get a single moment of calm, cause you always have to be on guard from harm of the other and that's not... That's not how they interact at the end of dmc5. That's not how they act in-between all of the other canon stuff we have either.

There's always a wind up. Always a clear reason before one kicks the other, when they're in their right minds. Always a sure bet the other can pick up on, oh, this will get bloody if I continue. And mostly it's, I will continue, cause that's fun and what I want...

Like, I mean, do we really think Vergil, who even when brainwashed to hell and back, who did not attack his brother from behind, even when it would have been easier, would have cleared his objective faster and more efficiently - Vergil who clearly has some codes of honor, would just stab his brother over something miniscule in a casual setting? No warning no nothing?

The same guy who wants to be 'protected and loved' would not afford his twin brother the same gift? The same chance of a calm and protected environment when in each other's company?

Because them always expecting to be hurt by the other with no warnings beforehand is definitely not that.

Sure he'll threaten and bluster and all of that. But only when a line is really crossed will he draw blood. A line Dante is absolutely aware of by then.

And of them both Dante is most commonly the one who instigates a fight, and do we really believe he would live to indulge in casual domestic violence? Dante? Sure he'll annoy the shit out of his brother, but he won't just casually shoot him in the head over the last pizza slice. That's more than just uncool. He'll absolutely go for a scuffle on the ground or other smaller shenanigans, but not intended, grievous bodily harm.

I'm not really going anywhere with this anymore. I kinda just wanted to point this out.

For memes and stuff I can fully understand letting them get a bit stabby and shooty, but for other more grounded stuff... If we take canon at face value, we get a different picture than the one those memes represent.

Hope that separation is kinda clear!

(Only sorta exception I could think of off the top of my head is them both knocking Nero back. Though poor Nero is probs not as in-tune with these innate rules yet, and a punch is definitely kinder than a stab imo. And it was purposely done to stop Nero from following. So again, not willy-nilly... They were also in extenuating circumstances and not a domestic environment... Think you get my point.)

Hey! Look it's ultra rare Lucía fanart

win dante, win!

quick little rant thingy because DMC reddit just pissed me off

I hate how so many people in the DMC fandom fall for Dante's party guy shtick and genuinely believe him to be as dumb as a rock . For example an argument i see often for this is his inability pay off his debts/rant . People believe he's simply too dumb to manage any money when in reality it's stemmed from the fact that he has little to no consideration for his well being and puts others' needs before his,rather than his own lack of intelligence. Like Grue's daughters,whom he sends money to support them--or Enzo,his ex middleman. Even in the anime he goes on his way to save his client's brother,without getting proper payment.

Other than that,again in the anime he proves himself to be a worthy-occult detective and how great he can be at reading people. His office also has a decent amount of books lying around showing that yes,he does read and value knowledge

Not saying he's smartest out there,but he is in no way as stupid as people make him out to be.

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.
