This is a place where I stash stuff I find interesting pertaining to the fandoms I enjoy (my general blog is @whitebeakedraven). Tend to put my main focus on one fandom at a time, but others are definitely sprinkled in as well.
Everything will be tagged with the fandom and the characters that appear.
Sometimes I also write! May it be fics or me divulging some of my headcanons and thoughts.
Lists:

These will be updated as I go, so keep an eye on any changes.
In general, hope you enjoy your stay. Wish you a good one!

Thinking about Vergil and his decision to wear a cloak with the hood pulled all the way up to hide himself...
And how this is likely a comfort mechanism because baby Vergil wasn't wearing a cloak when he was attacked-- that's purely a manifestation of his subconscious that he willingly summons when he first meets V (and is scared of him) and then wills away when V starts talking about Dante protecting him.

I've been thinking about the Sparda twins having physical, uncanny, demonic characteristics.Β
Some of my headcanons are that Dante and Vergil have physical characteristics such as eyeshine, sharp teeth (like two sets of upper canines), and slit pupils. And animalistic behaviors like purring.
Then a random thought hit me: What about the possibility of demons (in general) having aΒ broader hearing rangeΒ than humans?Β
Humans can hear sound frequencies ranging from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
Many animal species can hear frequencies outside this range, so either below 20 Hz or above 20 kHz.Β
A well-known example is dogs, who can hear higher frequencies than humans can- hence why we have dog whistles. The same applies to house cats, which actually have the broadest hearing range among mammals. Rodents produce high-frequency squeaks that cats can hear, allowing them to locate and catch their prey.Β
Elephants and whales can produce infrasounds, or sounds with frequenciesΒ belowΒ the range humans can detect, to communicate over long distances. Bats, dolphins, some insects (like katydids), and whales (again) can produce ultrasounds, or sounds with frequenciesΒ aboveΒ the range of human hearing.Β
The main point is that many animals can hear and produce a wider range of sound frequencies to communicate with one another.Β
So, what am I trying to suggest about demons (and the Sparda twins)?Β
Going back to the question above: what if demons can also produce sounds of frequencies outside of the range humans can hear? Hypothetically, demons could create a network of information amongst each other to share general information that everyone in the Demon World needs to know, like who fought who and won, who's the leader, etc. Or for demons that are a part of packs, they can formulate plans to attack others or humans while also avoiding detection.Β
Also, imagine being a demon sneaking into the Human World and putting on a perfect disguise to avoid attention and make hunting humans easier. But you decide to send a message- like the location of the portal for others to find, or a warning to other demons you're around and to avoid you (because it'll mean death for them).Β
Then, a few hours later, a man in red appears and foils all of your plans.Β
The ability to hear across a broad spectrum of frequencies would allow Dante (and likely Vergil) to find other demons easily and make them even more effective demon hunters.Β
In addition, the twins being able to produce sounds of higher or lower frequencies due to their demonic heritage could allow them to have secret "conversations" in front of many humans. Trish, being a demon herself, would most likely hear those, though.Β
(Just imagine Dante and Vergil secretly "arguing" in front of Lady and Morrison while Trish is in the background trying not to laugh out loud. Or the twins being miles apart and "sharing" their locations with each other. )
There's also a comedic aspect to this possibility with Nero-
What if Nero has no clue that demons, including his dad and uncle, can hear frequencies that humans can't?
He also has no idea he can hear those sounds, too.Β
As his demonic abilities develop further, Nero starts hearing these sounds that Kyrie, the kids, and Nico can't hear. It drives him insane because: 1) Where are these sounds coming from? 2) Why is he the only one who can hear them?Β
Out of desperation, he tells the twins and is nonchalantly told that he's probably been hearing a group of a particular type of demon conversing amongst themselves... whichΒ does NOTΒ calm him down at ALL.Β
The conversation then leads to an impromptu family demon-hunting trip. Plus, Dante and Vergil have to teach Nero how to control his hearing and block out certain sounds. And (to his horror) also how to produce specific sounds.Β
Later on, he asks Nico to make special headphones to block out sounds of specific frequencies (with the intention of avoiding hearing the twins' "messages" to him, lol)Β
Other random thoughts I had were: Dante and Vergil (plus Trish) getting annoyed whenever someone blows a dog whistle near them (which Lady takes advantage of). Or when they are near construction or machinery that produces infrasonic or ultrasonic noise.Β
On a more serious note, that type of hearing would also be a double-edged sword, as it would be easy to become overwhelmed by all the sounds around them.Β
a siderant inspired by the pretty cool recent headcanon about different hearing ranges for the loser twins:
personally, I don't believe in any "special" ways of communication they can have, Except the very basic unconscious ones (like recognising each other's energy. certainly useful, but not enough for communication), Or new ones they can develop post-dmc5-hell-return, though I don't think they will.
My reasoning for this is that the sparda bois loser trio has been separated and alone most of their respective lives. They are not human, and they are not demon, the only ones able to really understand them is each other (hey another thing uncle dante denied nero with his silence). You can't learn communication when there is noone to communicate with. Vergil hasn't had pleasant company in forever with a single exception, he literally hasn't been socialised as a child, he might have knowledge of demon communication ways, but again, nobody to practice them with. Dante has consciously hermited himself away, and as for demonic habits - he can be in SDT and he would just close his eyes and keep chanting "i'm human i'm human i'm human". Nero is the only one who can actually communicate with other people, if his temper does not get in the way.
All of that was to say noone here has any communication experience, and definitely no "secret"-communication-type-available-only-to-them experience.
The twins do have incentive to develop some kind of secret language between themselves, though with how demon-averse Dante is that's hard to imagine. Still possible though! Nero will have trouble with this though, as he is not yet a regular in the company of the loser twins,but they might just drive him insane enough to try to learn and emulate them xD Then again, he doesn't really need it unless he is talking to those losers, and he Really needs them to learn to talk with Words Through Their Mouths, instead of making demon sounds at him...
Sorry if this came out as a wet blanket on someone's plans, that wasn't my intention. I just meant to highlight that Loneliness all of the bois experienced in their lives, which makes it so that any kind of communication they Do decide to develop now would be very special for them indeed.

Now if Sparda (from heaven or wherever people go after death) could see what Vergil was doing and had done, he wouldn't be mad at all. Disappointed, yeah. Heartbroken, yeah.
Sparda extended his grace and mercy to his own kind when he refused to destroy the gates between two worlds. It's impossible and out of character that he wouldn't have that same kindness toward his own child. Besides, as someone formerly evil himself, Sparda would value rehabilitation and second chances. It's after all how he woke up to justice himself.
If Rebellion and Force Edge and their dynamic with Dante are any indication, Yamato allows Sparda to feel Vergil as much. So he feels that pain and knows his sons' pains.
don't let this rapscallion get away with its squeaky toy noises!
pi pi pi pi pi PWEEEEE pipipipip-p-p-p-p-p-p-YOU DIED
ref'd minks and ferret running for the first bit. and uh, looked at millipedes and centipedes for the other half.
haven't touched my samsung tablet in months just to draw (been busy on da pc). it's been nice to chill next to my partner on the couch animating while they're getting bodied by a silksong boss lmao.
callipeg is a p good animation program, if you have 15 dollar i highly recommend. downloaded it last night, only took half a day to get the hang of it--tbf im very technically minded but yeah it's super neato.
Every day I mourn the loss of DMC4!Blue Rose, I feel like it just has an objectively better design, especially since DMC5 cut (almost) all the etchings and design elements which was literally the namesake for the gun so...
