it's not even a little bit ironic when I say devil may cry cuts my soul in half with its multi game exploration of ptsd induced depression but it sounds sarcastic when you know dante copes with intense existential dread by dancing like michael jackson

It’s very relatable, I too like to mask depression by acting like a goofy clown lolol

Watching the anime makes me wanna replay the games, particularly 3 and 4 because they’re peak!

DMC5 demonstrated the maladaptive repercussions of of moving on from trauma by disassociating yourself with a very literal representation of splitting and instructs the only way to heal is to have empathy and vulnerability to understand your own toxicity via goth adam driver in full body tattoos

This is me; I am in this diagnosis 😂

DMC4 tells a crisis of faith that happens when recognizing you're the scapegoat in a religious cult how difficult it is to cut ties and adapt to a new understanding of yourself and the world you exist in when you still buy into the programming you are demonic for questioning as you rev your sword

artofchira.bsky.social•66 days ago

DMC3 speaks on the betrayal and injustice of being abandoned by your parents fending for yourself and how nihilism makes you weaker while admitting you're heartbroken and still care about your piece of shit family makes you stronger in the middle of fighting shirtless in the middle of eating pizza

Can we talk about how Dante in 3 doesn’t get chaffing while shirtless in a leather long coat too? Lol

artofchira.bsky.social•66 days ago

I can go on but the point is this franchise is simultaneously the most deep and the most shallow at the same time, it's perfect honestly

The ending with Dante crying and him going "it's just the rain" also Lady's anger at her father for killing her mother and also heartbroken she even has to do that.

The shirtless part is funny bc demons were raiding his office moments after he finished showering... They don't even give him a time to get a shirt

Bingo Morihashi is underrated as a writer. It's a shame most people glaze over the narrative of the stuff he's worked on because there's a lot more to them than they let on

If there's any man that could have salvaged Bayonetta 3's script, it's him

im obsessed with this take now, I love it

What's great about it is that for the majority of the populace it's that meme where guy looks at cool robot from show, but the deeper meaning goes over their head.

once upon a time i was hanging out with some people and posted the dance as a reaction in a chat. "what's that from" "devil may cry" "I THOUGHT THAT GAME WAS EDGELORD STUFF?"

derailed an entire saturday so we could groupwatch the (sans 2) as as a cutscene movie and *changed their lives*.

artofchira.bsky.social•66 days ago

It's edgelord but like, so sincere it shoots past ironic and orbits back to sincere

Dante is very damaged but thriving (somehow)
