I like the scene in DMC4 where Dante intentionally provokes Nero by saying “So melodramatic!” And stuff because he knows that the only way to motivate his nephew to live at the time is to piss him off lmao.
Then of course we get this.
Sonichu is just Dante's Inferno
Think about it, both the Sonichu comics and Dante's Inferno star a self-insert traversing a fantasy land where half of the story is just the author (who, in real life, is an outcast/exile) depicting awful things happening to people they have some personal vendetta against. Both protagonists are even accompanied by a spirit guide (Virgil for Dante and Sonichu for Chris) based on the author's personal idols.
And, of course, both authors are incels.
These 2 are a thing and they're blessed that's all I wanted to say goodbye

“No sadness is greater than in misery to rehearse the memories of joy” - Dante Alighieri
Little Dante concept I was possessed to do a couple hours ago
well! the years start coming and they don't stop coming (palette)
Sex is cringe. "Hey do you wanna come over and play boners together?" What naked bullshit. They have played us for fools.
I always liked Quinte.
Mainly because of how Dante and Quincy look together in an aesthetic sense.
BUT then their little cannon dynamic came out.
Now you may be wondering....what dynamic??? They barely interacted in game- yES that is true, Quinte began as a rarepair crackship.
BUT. HEAR ME OUT.
The winter event gave this ship quite the assortment of ~crumbs~.
What I'm talking about is the way Dante is trying his damn hardest to be respectful towards Quincy. Tries his best not to offend him....HE'S BEING SO SUBMISSIVE-
Like the in the carving that boat scene???
Dante was like "ew who did that it's so plain 🙄"
And Quincy responded with the least amount of chalanting ever "I made it what's wrong with it"
Dante iMMEDIEATELY FOLDED LIKE
"nOOO I DIDN'T MEAN TO OFFEND"
It was so funny
Immediately rewired my brain towards them
THEY HAVE THE PERFECT "schoolboy crush" DYNAMIC.
DANTE IS TRYING TO IMPRESS QUINCY SO BAD AND QUINCY'S JUST LIKE: 👍
He yearns for the dilfy embrace in silence....
Like you wouldn't catch Dante DEAD seeking for the approval of others.
But idek there's something about being sometimes acknowledged by an aloof forest daddy that makes him a little giddy...
DO YOU SEE MY VISION- DO YOU SEE MY VISION- DO YOU SEE
*copium*
contemplating danoli arranged marriage once more… (the seeds planted by @wet-poodle-nudes of course.)
so, thinking about a timeline where dante’s parents never died and he was just sort of… kept. very bird in a cage. he never underwent the trials of the elemental spirits of fire because his parents feared the strain would kill him.
with his parents’ continued rule, solaria teeters on falling into ruin. it stays afloat mostly through luck. the local public sentiment towards the sun lord (dante’s father) and his consort (dante’s mother) is pretty negative due to their lack of action against those who attack solaria. meanwhile, the other territories view them as frivolous, ditzy nobles; they’re both too nice, too kind for their own good. its quite fanciful that desert rulers would purchase ice sculptures and other luxuries.
dante, in the midst of all this, resents his parents and his position immensely, but he’s self-aware enough to know that he doesn’t exactly have the health to rule and he’s lived an incredibly coddled life. he’s privileged, but he can’t do anything.
as solaria’s position becomes more and more precarious, it becomes evident to dante’s parents that the best move, for solaria and dante, is to marry dante off. it would bring in a strong alliance, wealth, and, if they can send dante off, perhaps they can protect him from the local strife.
enter: olivine.
there were probably a lot of possible suitors dante’s parents looked at for him. but, olivine’s healing ability puts him head and shoulders above the rest. after all, if their son’s survival is paramount, then they want someone who could properly look after his health.
after some intense discussion, the marriage is arranged. there’s a wedding in solaria. and then a wedding in the water territory.
for the wedding in the solaria, dante and olivine meet one day before their wedding to be.
going to solaria a bit of an adventure for olivine; its nice for him to be able to see the world outside of the water and light territory, even if it’s for an event that’s tying him to a stranger. he hopes that maybe the marriage means he can visit again.
meanwhile, dante is so furious about the whole ordeal that he stonewalls olivine’s attempted visits for several days. his parents reassure olivine with soft words and laughter; they invite him to hospitality in dante’s stead. it’s clear to him that dante’s parents are incredibly kind people who love their son dearly. they are very much unlike his own parents whose love is shown through unyielding and weighty responsibility.
on the final day, dante agrees to see olivine. as he arrives to dante’s bedroom (a scandalously intimate place to visit but it seems that dante’s health will allow nothing else), he sees dante’s mother bowed close to dante, cupping his cheek. they exchange whispers, cajoling and reluctant in turns. dante’s mother introduces them while dante remains mute to olivine. his mother says that he wanted to meet with him alone and wishes them both luck as she leaves.
two caged birds left to talk… dante is terse with olivine. in their conversation, it becomes very quickly evident that neither of them particularly desire their marriage. olivine has a gentle, sad smile when dante asks, angrily, ‘don’t you want more?’. dante’s prospects are rather dire, but surely, olivine, a beloved priest, could protest a marriage he didn’t want.
going into more of a broader overview of what the potential dynamics would be: dante goes to live with olivine in the water territory.
olivine is pretty chill with letting dante do what he likes and also helping him do what he wants. its a kind of freedom dante has never known and he uses it to his full ability. though the marriage wasn’t his choice, he’s determined to take control afterwards. he’s also very much an only child and kind of a brat.
in their adventures together, i feel like dante gets very frustrated with how passive olivine is. he sees how olivine’s temple goers ogle and fawn over him. once he’s sure olivine’s kindness isn’t some ploy, he starts to bully olivine into having preferences.
i like to think, at some point, laying in bed together at night like children at a sleepover, they discuss their wishes. they both have many, many wishes they’ve kept close to their heart, for one reason or another. and like… though some of them may be difficult, once their wishes are spoken aloud, they help each other realize how achievable those dreams are.
dante’s straightforward thinking cuts through much of the winding anxiety that strangles olivine’s wishes. he can see all the strength, all the power olivine possesses. he knows olivine is capable. meanwhile, olivine’s experience with helping others overcome their own struggles opens up possibilities that dante didn’t consider because he thought if his wishes did happen, he’d have to muster the strength to complete them on his own.
together, they find that they arent quite as trapped as they thought they were
Checkers
Rei and Dante - for @halfetirosie
(not explicit...... yet.)
"It's just a game," Rei sighs.
"I know that, you--!"
Dante stares at the board like a man coming to terms with a terminal illness. He stares like if he stares hard enough, the whole game will go up in flames, and he'll be spared from any further nonsense.
Rei's played a lot of games with a lot of people, but he's never seen someone take checkers this seriously - and he once played a master naval strategist. There's a vein on Dante's forehead that looks fit to burst as he reaches out and slides his piece forward.
The best part of this experience is that the more confidence Rei exudes, the more anxious the Sun Lord becomes. When propositioned, Dante admitted he'd never played before, but he was certain his skills as a warrior would translate.
He looks... less certain, now.
Rei didn't mean to get good at games like this. But when beating Kuya at cards became his favorite pastime, he learned fast.
When Dante places his fingertip on his piece and starts to move, Rei clears his throat and clicks his tongue. Dante freezes and slides the piece back.
"S-stop distracting me," Dante hisses.
Rei nods his head and hums. "Apologies, Sun Lord."
While chewing his bottom lip - does he know that it's so cutely pathetic? - Dante changes his mind and moves a different piece. He claims one of Rei's and leans back in his chair.
"Hah, got you." The Sun Lord folds his arms and smirks, smug. Poor baby.
Rei reaches out and jumps one of his three remaining pieces over all five of Dante's.
"I win. Wow, Sun Lord; I expected better."
"I-- you--!"
Dante stands up, fists clenched, rattling the table in the process.
"You tricked me into changing my move!" He's shouting, which is exactly what Rei hoped would happen. Rei swallows his smirk and crosses his legs, rolling his eyes.
"I didn't make you do anything," Rei supplies. "Respectable war lords take responsibility for their mistakes, don't they?"
"I--" Dante flounders for words and slows his breathing. He's positively pimple-red and nearly shaking with frustration.
"Deep breaths, Sun Lord," Rei heckles.
To Rei's delight, Dante drops back into his seat like a door slamming shut. He starts resetting the board with fumbling hands.
"Again," he insists.
"Of course." Rei could - and will - watch this all night.
curious about how people think dante and kuya’s eyes are constructed. their eyes are where their gems are located, but ??? is it all gem or is it only the iris? what’s the deal with the eye whites?
also, thoughts on whether their gem eyes can dilate/contract or not?
@sea-arsonist some very rough elaboration on how 'baby need smoko' happened:
breathe deeply, sun lord
horny purgatory… one of them has to make the first move, but neither of them want to. dante doesn’t want to presume that olivine wants his help. olivine doesn’t want to presume that dante would help him.
and also like. dante is respecting the practices of the church by not questioning olivine’s rather… open scent during his heat.
they both think they can muscle through it (which they probably could!!!), its just. miserable. and they’re both so polite to each other too OTL… they’re friends, but they’re officials first.
so they’re having Intensely Normal and Polite conversation over lunch while olivine is trying to make sure slick doesnt leak through his robes and dante has to meticulously position his shawl so His Holiness cant see his massive boner through his stupid tight pants. dante definitely doesn’t have any feelings about how deeply olivine drinks his water or the flush across his face.
also!!! like!!! olivine wouldn’t even let himself masturbate. he’s a guest at dante’s home; surely, dante would be disgusted if he saw him or heard him being so shameless. he can’t spoil dante’s hospitality to him…
meanwhile, dante has no such reservations about pleasuring himself in his own home, but!!! he thinks jerking it to olivine, an ally who is in vulnerable straits, is weird! it’s not bad, persay. he just!! feels a little weird about it. (he probably does it anyways because, at a certain point, he can’t help himself. he’s strangely stiff with olivine later and olivine thinks dante might have cottoned onto the fact that olivine is having ~thoughts~ about him.)
i think. eventually. there has to be some kind of tipping point. like they keep making horny compromises to themselves. dante jerks off to olivine. olivine likes bathing after dante because he noticed there was cum left on the tile one time and he can allow himself just a taste of shameful intimacy, can’t he? perhaps some laundry stealing, but they’re both such tightly controlled individuals that it’s hard to imagine they’d allow themselves to do that, hehe.
one path to endgame banging is olivine premptively apologizing and confessing his indecency to dante (esp. if he feels like dante caught him and felt disgusted)? like… he’s not usually such a prude about his own instincts, but he can’t help falling back to feelings of shame when he’s acting so improperly. and dante is like (blink blink). because, if dante did catch him, dante definitely just ran away to jerk off shamefully himself.
so dante, reluctantly, drags his own admission out that he’s wouldn’t mind helping olivine and anyways, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about because they’re allies. (and then they fuck and scent each other crazy style.)
thinking about the omega priests post and olivine. as you do. but more specifically thinking about olivine going to solaria on official church business and coincidentally the scheduling of the trip means that he's going to go into heat during it. which is fine, kind of. it's going to suck a lot going through a heat alone when he's been so thoroughly spoiled by eiden and the clan, but he's had years of practice.
except solaria is really fucking hot. downright unbearable when in heat, especially when you're used to cooler temperatures like resident white boy olivine. and also dante ISN'T used to being around omegas in heat because he's been so isolated for so long. and dante offered to house olivine at his residence because there's a lot of rooms he's not using and what, is he going to make an acquaintance stay at an inn? do you doubt the sun lord's hospitality??
so they're both slowly going insane in close quarters because. olivine can't make the first move. and dante can't make the first move. and they're slowly roasting in horny fumes
