Now in my entire life I knew my grandma believed in God but not in going to church and I had never seen her at a church

But I did not know why.

Now I do

So my grandma was 15 years old and sang in the choir at the local Methodist church. World War II had been finished a year or two by now and a local man was running for state senate.

He was extremely wealthy from the lumber industry and owned the two local saloons. He was also friends with Grandma's parents and my grandma had seen him so drunk he couldn't stand.

But now he was running for office as a pious teetotaler

And during his sermon the minister at the church started preaching about why everyone should vote for and support this man:

"Considering the terrible things that happened with the war we cannot leave the world in the hands of young people!"

When the minister said that the only thing that prevented my grandma from walking out right then and there was her friend holding her back.

So instead my grandma waited until the service was over, calmly took off her choir robe, hung it up, and walked out to never return.

That's how offended she was.

Offended enough to refuse to attend church ever again in very rural and conservative America

Because in her words "how dare he blame young people for things that were entirely the fault of "old farts"

I share this for two reasons:

1. My grandma is a badass and I like people to know that

2. My grandma wants the young people to know that she is 90 and the idea of blaming young people for their parents and grandparents mistakes offended her at 15 and it offends her now

So the line “my family crest is the demon of death” in Bury The Light might be a cheeky reference to Yamato’s namesake. The kanji for Yamato is as follows:

閻魔刀

The third character is literally just the kanji for sword/katana/blade/what have you. But the first two, when put together, become Enma, sometimes called Yama, who is the god of hell in Buddhism. Enma judges which souls get to go to heaven, and which go to hell, which could possibly also explain the Judgment Cut naming convention?

But moreover, I think this lines up quite nicely in that the Yamato itself is the crest of the Sparda Family? Obviously this line (and the whole song in general) can be interpreted in many different ways, and they’re all valid, but I like thinking that, because the Yamato was so pivotal in canon - being the sword that cleaves through dimensions and creates portals and rifts and all - that this too, is just one more facet of Sparda’s legacy.

This is about all the brainpower I currently have though, my head still feels like it’s stuffed with cotton or something, making words and sentences is hard for me right now, but this is something I just wanted to throw out there, is all. Feel free to debunk this or expand on it, I’ll check it out…. at some point, I admit I’m only sporadically checking tumblr right now. In the meantime, I will return to my goblin cave and play vidya until I get off hiatus.

I’m capable of handling this one on my own.

Dante

He isn’t the type to be overly aggressive in the bedroom, preferring the sweet push-pull reciprocation of giving and receiving. (What can he say? He loves to hear you cry out for him in your sweet, eager desire.) However, when indulging in a more specific brand of pleasure, he becomes notably more assertive.
