is it an inside joke if no one remembers it

what's keeping out practically every disease, infection, and contamination? skin

what's responsible for 90% of cooling you down when it's hot outside? skin

what can absorb radiation from the goddamn sun and somehow you only get hotter for it? skin

what organ can you decorate with paint, cosmetics, tattoos, and also use as a to-do list when you've got your wrist and a sharpie? SKIN BABEYYYY

practically every organ is annoying in some way. the human body is cursed. every bone and muscle is built spitefully and your immune system is halfway trying to kill you. but skin? skin is trying its very best and it's doing a great job of it. skin is healing up after the most fucked up stuff imaginable and growing back twice as strong because it loves you and wants to protect you. this is not a shitpost i just genuinely want more people to take a second to appreciate something about themselves they've always taken for granted

like, we’re all familar with the way dante announces his style skills out loud (“royal guard!”) like a fuckin goober, and even nero calls out “double down!” when he performs the move with a high enough exceed gauge so the two of them have a precedent for naming their attacks, but vergil never calls any of this moves out

all that to say, i think it would be really funny if they were all on a job together and mid-combat, dante goes, “vergil! come judgement cut this guy!”

and vergil just squints at his brother like he’s lost the fucking plot
