AHHHHHHH THESE LESBIANS WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME LIKE WHAT ARE WE WHERE ARE WE HERE ARE WE READY FOR A WEDDING
And we leave Dante and Vergil basically how we originally found them. Fighting. As Lady originally described "It seems as if they drive some twisted pleasure from this brotherly fighting." For them, fighting is their love language. And they have a lot of catching up to do. After Nero knocked some sense into them, any feelings of true animosity and desire to kill one another is pretty much completely gone. All of a sudden they're back to being kids banging wooden swords together. Hard to blame them for taking so long just indulging in a bit of good old fashioned brotherly love for weeks at a time instead of rushing to go back home.
DMC5 added Vergil as a playable character and extended the ending of the game with some extra scenes with him and Dante in the Underworld which I included into this. First we have another scene showing that Vergil is completely emotionally stunted and incapable of confronting the fact that he has a son and all the crazy mixed up emotions that brings in its wake. Which is cute. Gotta grade the guy on a curve, I'm sure he'll grow into those daddy shoes eventually.
I honestly really like the way the game leaves them off. Reminiscing about their childhoods so casually like that. It was such a painful thing for the both of them, remembering the past. Remember how in DMC3 when they first fought, Vergil only cared about their parentage in the context of using the blood of Sparda to get more power while Dante denied he even had a father. Now they can call back to childhood memories of their parents scolding them like it's nothing. They've definitely grown quite a lot and gotten over a lot of the pain and anguish they used to carry.
I find the dialog they end the scene with to be very poignant and sweet. Dante muses about what their parents would think of them now, as crusty adults. But Vergil just says in a seemingly callous way that it doesn't matter. What does matter is that they're alive, and they're together as brothers for the first time in as long as either of them can remember. And Dante agrees.
It's very sweet. These two deserve their happy ending. The culmination of a relationship that chronologically started with a duel to the death in the rain ontop of the tower to the underworld. All of that baggage and drama and hatred and anguish has been swept away. They're together again. And always will be from now on.
as a girl who plays the guitar, one of my biggest dreams is to play a song in front of my butch who’s listening attentively to all the words i say. this song i chose is specifically telling you how much i love you, can you piece them together? they watch every chord i strum and they’ll tell me i’m amazing—little did they know that the way they look in this specific moment; the way their eyes flutter in between the verses, the way they smile to themselves when they hear something too sweet, the way their fists unclench and put their guard down, the way they have welcomed me in their life; trusted me not to hurt the heart they placed on my hand in order to love me the way they do today—they are amazing. i wish a song would be enough to describe how thankful i am to share this moment you, but no, it would never be enough. can i play another?
life is beautiful and everything will be okay in the end anyways
one of my favourite new upcoming GL manga rn, love bullet, about girls who get reincarnated as cupids except they've modernized and now they use guns instead of bows.... silly sounding premise but the visual direction is extremely striking and its been super emotionally impactful to me so far at just 7 chapters out. check out the fan translation on mangadex/dynastyscans and if you like it please buy a copy of it for 5 dollars (guide on how to buy it below) cause the sales are struggling and if it gets cancelled ill die badly,,, thank you
