madimpossibledreamer: Tatsuya holding a motorcycle helmet under his arm and looking at a swingset (bi king)

I was thinking about why I like Devil May Cry (and my own writing on Giles’ Detective Agency) and why I don’t think that the story is “terrible” like a lot of people. Unlike my other lit analysis posts this one is mostly about DMC, mostly because I started writing and apparently had a lot to say and this is long enough as it is. This does tie in slightly to why I’m also more positive on DMC 2 (at least story wise, and you can’t argue that the outfit and music weren’t stylish) and the anime (which got me into the story). Again, I haven’t experienced DMC 5 yet; it’s one of the ones I want to actually experience myself, rather than watching someone else play, and admittedly half of my issue is that I want to wait until I’m living somewhere one of my roommates isn’t going to break a newly bought PS4 in a fit of rage or because they’re mad I haven’t cleaned the microwave or whatever. I look forward to seeing how it fits in with this mini-essay. It’s also why I don’t like the Ninja Theory one and why writing crossovers with lgbtq+ themes feels very natural to me. We will also be getting into story spoilers here, so warning for that.

madimpossibledreamer: Dante fighting demons (devil may cry)
...sorry about the length; this thing became a monster.  But I don't want to cut it down or chop it up, so.  I started writing this in excitement about the time I learned of the DMC5 announcement, as the following two extra AN show, and then again around the time it came out (and then now, of course).  It turns out I have a lot of feels about the Sparda family (and yeah, that was confirmed canon in interview before DMC5 came out, it's not a spoiler).  Also a lot of feels about DMC4.  Like, how does the Order of the Sword work?  How did the religion work?  What were they going to do with it?  That opera scene, plus the "humans have something demons don't".  SO MUCH like, almost more feels than the rest of the series except for maybe DMC5 when I get to it and that speech about "maybe somewhere even a devil may cry when they lose a loved one", thank you Lady.
tbf part of the reason I latched onto Nero was my headphones and mp3 player where what got me through high school and college and early mornings at one of my jobs, so there might be a little mild audiophile MUSIC IS COOL geeking out

I just found this hanging out in the ‘to finish’ part of my documents.  Written before DMC5, may have been jossed.  I haven’t seen DMC5 yet, mainly because I’m trying to decide whether I want to play it blind as soon as I buy a PS4 or am too impatient and want to watch someone else play for now.
Refound again and it was still not finished.  Have decided I want to play it blind, though I’m hoping that I don’t get to it ten years from now.  Money is hard, unless you’re Lady.
