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.)
moody teenagers and chores together is a recipe for disaster. Especially if the said teen is out for your blood
he’s so clingy
Posting my art here instead because my main account has been shadow banned 😭
Anyway, I think Wolfwood and Lady would be friends.
straight out jacking “it” ….. and by “it” i mean. heh. the pot
so thrice dante has killed him. first, above temen-ni-gru. then, at mallet island.
and now a third time. it is the ultimate homicide: he has slaughtered vergil’s character, his very spirit.
I firmly believe putting glasses on Vergil increases his moe factor by 400%
a bunch of various zeroes from 2023-2024
Been replaying dmc4 and can someone please tell me why he’s so FINE in this game????
Like I’m sorry I can’t focus on combos with his hair so luscious and his face so pretty.
Needed to practice drawing men for my ocs' story and uh well dante just kinda trickster'd his way into the sheet lol

You know there's something fundementally wrong when DMC2 has better story and themes than a Netflix show produced by The Visionary
Things that DMC2 does better than NDMC:
Dante looks hotter
the idea of Dante pretending to leaving things to fate by flipping a coin but then revealing the coin was rigged meaning he always wanted to help people is actually really cool and gives him a better dimension than stealing Nero's arc
you can feel sorry for Lucia because she's more than a "tough" swearword dispenser
continues the theme of humanity representing more the concept of heart, emotions and compassion than being simply a race
"A king? Here's your crown"
better graphics than whatever CGI abominations were present in the anime
mfw the worst game in the series still has more salvageable traits than the visionary's adaptation
So I got introduced to DMC by my brothers...
I did a scene redraw of dmc 4 cuz the way it cuts to Dante with a sword stabbed in him after Nero asked that he's not human was just kinda funny to me.
Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers Episode 4
Post dmc5 where vergil would rather take his insatiable twin on a lovely bonding trip than paying for child support
nero's honest reaction: 🖕
(on a more serious note I need to see them TALK. PLEASE CAPCOM
Now, this? This would’ve made more sense. But knowing the most hardcore DMC Reboot haters, they’ll just be like, “why use reboot? People hated the reboot, I thought we were past this, use the original designs and blah blah blah.”
To me, THIS would’ve worked better. DMC reboot already had a different tone, different lore, and of course, since it was a reboot, the political theming could have worked here. Minus the whole racism allegory for the demons. And then Reboot Vergil could be the best villain character in the anime with him leading a whole demon army and then Netflix Lady and Reboot Dante can have a swearing competition that the internet could meme on. Plus, I could take Reboot Vergil a little more seriously.
I just kept thinking, “why not just use the DMC Reboot?” As much as that game’s writing sucked, I think that game could’ve deserved a sequel at least. There was plenty of room to make one and have that be its own separate universe while the original DMC continues as normal.
Capcom does it with the original timeline of Resident Evil and the remake timeline of Resident Evil, so why not give the same treatment to Devil May Cry? At least that’s how I personally would have done this.

In honor of dmc netflix trailer dropping have some old dmc sketchies
1: The Scene
2. Patty Lowel in dmc5, still dresses cute
3. The perfect meme of the trio
I wonder who did it
Silly dmc 3 Dante.
Found this interesting little titbit on the Devil May Cry TV Tropes page. Effectively; Vergil was designed to be simped over.
Family portrait.
I love DMC in general, but I prefer to keep quiet about it.
