🎂HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONTH DANTE 🥳
" Leave!"
I think this was the first time he yelled in this series, he rarely raises his voice.
This was when Fernando attempted to touch his shoulder after Beatrice became an Existed, makes sense why that happened, he was already stressed out and Fernando made it worse by trying to touch him, I remember he didn't just yell, he tried to elbow Fernando, a clear " leave me alone. "
Makes sense, surprising someone already stressed out is usually not a good idea.
Oh, heh, these tiny mishaps happened often, guess you could say Dante lives rent-free in Gal-Sal's head, he just can't seem to get him out of his mind.
There were a lot of tiny bugs like this through the series, sometimes characters would glitch and either be huge or too tiny, or just wouldn't load sometimes, technical problems.
Heh, unsure on what episode this happened, but he must have been really tired to just fall asleep like this,especially with glasses on, people who wear glasses don't typically sleep with them on really, guess he's just taking a nap.
" This moment does not need narration."
Man, this is just... sickening, No respect for the dead it seems.
It definitely made me sick to my stomach, and when he said that he killed Jasmim, Dante's girlfriend... what I felt was " it can't get any worse, can it?"
Well... yes it could.
" Gaspar, when she was found with stab marks, who do you think did that? You shouldn't have left us... if you were strong enough, you wouldn't have saved only her, but the little being inside of her as well, your son."
... Yes, he knew she was pregnant, he knew well what he did, it made me filled with anger because I thought of all of the moments that could have been, how he changed Dante's life in a single day, with one decision, he basically set this in motion there.
This is why I'd say Gal Sal is anything but impulsive, he can be cruel, but someone cruel that knows very well what he does, why he does it, this awareness is what makes it disturbing.
Indeed, that's another level of cruelty.
" You open your eyes and your vision went dark."
Yeah, it must have been terrifying to wake up blind, though I did find interesting how he thought about this whole event after.
" Just like Icarus who flew too close to the sun, I think this is my punishment for trying to help everyone."
I don't remember if that was the exact phrase he used, but... seeing it as a punishment or reminder is an interesting thought process.
" Fun fact:
The first time Dante hit an ally on purpose was not Joui, it was, ironically, Arthur.
He was in shock because Kaiser had been hit by a grenade so Dante went over there and gave him a slap so he'd come to his senses. "
Ouch, come to think of it there were two other people he's hit, Joui and Baloo, Joui's I remember because it was after Dante woke up blind and was worried about Beatriz, they had an argument and Dante hit him, Joui was actually a little shocked since he didn't expect to be hit by Dante of all people.
Baloo's was because Baloo looked into a mirror and was possessed, reducing his sanity to 0, he attempted to attack his teammates and so Dante punched him so he'd snap out of it.
Wow, sounds like he actually did these " snap out of it/stop" aggressions pretty often actually, a bit funny, but at least they had a reason to happen.
Carina: " leave them be, they're young, back in my day..."
Baloo: " Don't you dare provoke me."
Dante: " Or what? Can't control yourself around me?"
Joui : " I thought whores weren't allowed in the Order."
Pff, this is incredibly out of context, yeah, no wonder the others were baffled, I suppose they still remembered the characters they interpreted in the Host's trials, but to a person who wasn't there it'd just be confusing.
Joui: Why do you always flee when someone lights a fire?
Dante: I'm afraid of it, not a good thing when it kills those you love.
Joui: I get it...
Not exactly what he said but yeah, understandable... let's just say he has a personal experience with it, he did say something similar when asked.
And I get it too, fire can be comforting, but also a destructive, suffocating thing... at this point it does also bring back memories to me, not pleasant ones.
Huh, not so different after all, this was what I meant by Dante looking similar to Gal with the blindfold he started wearing after he went blind, I guess my instinct of " wait a sec, that reminds me of something. " was right.
This art does illustrate this similarity well, they do have some things in common, both harbor a hatred towards Kian, both were manipulated by him, indeed... not so different after all.
You'll be ok.
You'll be ok.
You'll be ok.
You'll be ok...
This scene... now I always remember this when he says " you'll be ok." When healing someone, good acting as well.
This art reminds me of a painting.
Tried to draw Gal-Sal, this villain... for some reason his grin both disturbs me and makes me want to hit him in the face, it also reminds me of how cruel he can be, blood spilling down onto his face... just a grin I detest.
When Dante cut his hair short, I did feel a little unnerved because it reminded me of Nathaniel, that occultist who was locked up, when he also wore a blindfold... that reminded me of Gal-Sal, I did think " please don't grin like him, you already resemble him enough as is right now..." that particular stile was one I didn't like for those reasons, I know that Dante is not like Gal-Sal, but that resemblance made me feel a little uneasy.
I know his tattoos are absent in this drawing, I could do better, but for that I need to practice more.
