Hey there! It's me again, the Lies of P obssessed junkie who is also obssessed with DMC. I have risen from my grave the moment I heard that the Lies of P DLC is coming out somewhere in 2025. I hope you are doing alright and that your requests are open. If it is not, feel free to ignore it, your health comes first!
Anyways, since all of my Lies of P requests had a ton of angst, I felt like requesting something more comforting. I totally won't request the bed ending aftermath of Lies of P, I totally won't ;)
Anyways. I was hoping to request a platonic fluff headcannon of the DMC boys and our good puppet boy Pinocchio. I want to see how the boys will act once we become more human. My most funny thought is Vergil and Dante fighting over if we are Dante's kid or Vergil's little brother.
"The kid is my child Vergil."
"No, he is not, the adoption papers weren't signed."
"Cause you dragged the kid out before he could even pick up the pen, and then cut the papers into a million peices."
"...." "They are still not signed."
I also think Vergil and Dante will fight over what we will first eat once we start tasting things, and Nero is like "Guys, just let him eat what he wants."
Dante and we would likely hunt demons as he speaks about the most random of things, and we just kinda listen and sometimes speak up, but our trusty talking lantern Gemini doing the most of talking for us.
Vergil and us either practicing sword fighting, like. "I want you to be able to be able to protect yourself."
"Vergil.... I fought monsters 6 times my size and strength and won..."
"You still do not know the specifics of sword fighting"
"I killed a guy who became a god."
"And I am here to teach you MY way of fighting, so watch."
Nero being the only normal one who leads around the city and just talking, or maybe introducing us to Kyrie, like. "You see this little fella? Yes he was created in the 19th century and is older then both of us combined, but he is friend, and he is usually stays silent and just stares. Just don't get freaked out."
And V, of sweet V who we practically look the same. I am betting some strangers would actually think V and we were related. We would usually stay with V reading some old books or playing the piano for him.
Bonus points if Trish and Lady tried to get us some modern clothes only for Vergil to drag us right out of the shopping mall cause the clothes we have remind him too much of his father.
I hope this isn't much trouble, I hope you are feeling well and that both of the sides of your pillow are cool. Thank you again! 💙
Aw thank you so much for your well wishes. Hope you enjoy!
Sparda boys + V x Pinocchio-like!Reader platonic headcannons
-Dante is absolutely thrilled to see you're acting more like a human and less like how you formerly were—soulless and boring.
-He takes you to his favorite pizza place and gets you a massive pizza with everything on it (yes, even olives) just so you can try it and decide on your favorite toppings.
-Of course, he tries to sway you away from the olives and more towards pepperoni, and whether you follow him or not is up to you.
-He'll teach you to ride his motorcycle, and for the first time ever, you understand why he's so happy when he's zipping through the streets, whooping his lungs out.
-You two bond more and more now that you're capable of experiencing emotions and actually having fun. You have also grown very interested in ranking Vergil and take a more active role n orchestrating these little schemes.
-Dante encourages you to find a hobby (other than being a little gremlin with him) that you are passionate about, assuring you he'll support you all the way, no matter what you choose.
-Vergil is just so proud of you for how far you've come. He's more than proud, actually, the sight of you makes him start to get misty eyed with sentimentality.
-He is about ready to formally adopt you, papers, certificate and all, if he didn't have competition in the form of his stupid brother.
-Basically, everyone wants to spend time with you and (un)officially make you their kid, because they love you, but because everyone wants to be around you, some (specifically Vergil) get jealous of others.
-Don't worry, a little 1-on-1 time should calm him down, but at the same time, it runs the risk of making him even more jealous the next time someone steals you away.
-Now that you are more human, Vergil decided you should dress like one. He immediately starts dressing you like a distinguished fellow such as himself, completely unaware that the way he dresses is not the human norm. (but it should be)
-He can't help you understand your newfound emotions though, mostly because he can hardly understand his.
-Nero is so happy to have a new buddy who actually understands the memes he sends them.
-He floods your phone with goofy videos and pictures of things he thinks are hilarious. He used to do it before, but you didn't understand it then. Now you do, and you're addicted.
-Is about to turn you into a regular comedian, if Dante and Vergil weren't always butting in on your quality time.
-Every night is Sparda family dinner-movie night. It's loud and crazy and popcorn is everywhere, but it's fun.
-Nero will direct you to the nearest hiding place once Dante and Vergil inevitably start fighting, before charging into the fray himself.
-Sometimes it seems he's forgotten about you, but he will return when the fight's over (or after it's been taken outside) and rescue you before dragging you somewhere far, far way from the scene of the crime.
-V has always adored you; now, even more so. You already looked so much like him, now you were human too!
-This means that you have unlocked an understanding of emotions, so V can stun you with William Blake's poetry—and a few pieces of his own.
-He might even try to get you to create something yourself, but there's no telling how that will turn out.
-People sometimes mistake you for brothers, others for father and son, and some ask if you're twins. It cracks both of you up every time.
-Nevertheless, V loves how you two are basically family. Your appearance only cements that.
-He is probably the only Sparda (or half Sparda) who doesn't get jealous when others want to spend time with you. V's just so sweet.
