alright, i'll be the one to say it. ao3 and tumblr becoming "mainstream" did so much damage to the community and the writers. i have seen loads of videos and posts about:
1. people hating on writers and fics. writing is something we do for free and for fun. if you stumble upon a fanfic that isn't necessarily your cup of tea or you just don't like, scroll. dont read it. literally leave their page. you don't know if this could be the author's first work that they're so excited about, you dont know if the language they're writing in isn't their first language, you dont know that the writer could be a literal teen and loads of other reasons. fanfictions don't HAVE to be perfect. you write what you want to write because we do it for fun and enjoyment and we want to share that to the world. seriously, what is the wrong with that?..
2. x reader consumers getting WAY too entitled. the number of tiktoks i've seen that say "i run a strict program when it comes to reading fanfics." girl you aint running shit. this is FAN FICTION you're reading. F A N F I C T I O N. there is no denying that most fanfiction writes are beyond talented but just because you read one fanfic that exceeds your expectations doesn't give you the right to talk down on others that don't. people have their own personal writing style, their way of doing things and you talking shit on that isn't right.
at the end of the day, we are all humans, reading and writing is what we do and what we're meant to do. and for you to talk shit about a person WRITING is so insane. we are humans. not some robots that you can tell what to do so you can consume it.
i've seen so so many authors take down their fanfics and losing all motivation to write because of a hate comment. DONT LIKE DONT READâŒïž
and to every author reading this, this community values your work and your contribution. we love u and, please, never let anyone's negative words have an effect on you.
i know folks are gonna call me a pedo for this one, but i grew up seeing my mom and grandma naked. they had health issues and at times needed care and help showering. and i truly think more kids need to be shown the nonsexual reality of naked women at a young age. there is nothing sexual about my grandmothers breasts, they were simply body parts. more women die of heart attacks because people are too afraid of breasts to do real chest compressions, because they are scared to touch their breasts. the sexualization of our bodies literally kills us. i need people to be more normal about naked bodies and i'm 100% serious.

Hey diva! Do you have any relationship headcannons for the DMC men and ladies with a S/o (can be sfw or nsfw, your choice)
Have a great day!
DMC characters (The Men and the Ladies) as a partner. HCNS with GEN!Reader (Fluff, SFW and NSFW)
Thank you so much, sweetheart!
Because your request was a tad broad, it leaved me a bit blank on ideas, so I divided it into 5 categories with a headcanon each. A fluff/flirting hcn, their love language, Domesticity/ living together, some random SFW hcn and another spicy one.  Hope you enjoy <3
Characters: Dante, Vergil, Nero, V, Lady, Trish, Nico and Kyrie.
WC: ~2150
-> My masterlist
Dante
Flirting and Fluff: Flirts, flirts, flirts. I wouldn't call it words of affirmation, but this man is dropping cheesy one-liners like itâs his first language. It doesn't matter if you've been together for 10 minutes or ten years; he will still hit you with a âDid it hurt when you fell from the sky?â like he invented the line.
Love language: Physical touch all the waaaaay. Shameless, instinctive, constant. An arm around your shoulders, a hand resting on the hollow of your back, hugs from behind out of nowhere. He doesn't overthink it. If he wants you close, he makes it happen.Â
Domesticity/ living together hcn: Messy, chaotic, but lively. If you are laid-back like him, you'll mesh perfectly; if you are a neat freak, brace yourself. Living with Dante feels like dating your best friend: dishes in the sink, clothes everywhere, but also gossip in the dark, laughing nonstop and music blaring while you cook together.Â
Random SFW hcn: The type of man who loves showering with you. Youâll be halfway through when he barges in with zero warning. Sometimes it turns into something more, sometimes he just wants to be in the steam with you, murmuring nonsense of âTo save on water billsâ while the bastard hogs all the hot water.
Random NSFW hcn: All about quickies. He prefers multiple short rounds of heat over one long, drawn-out session. Plus, he recovers fairly quickly, give the man 15 minutes and he'll be as good as new for another round.
Vergil
Flirting and fluff: Doesn't flirt, at least not in the conventional sense. But once every full moon, heâll drop a line so devastatingly sincere it leaves you wrecked for days. A cool, offhand whisper to your ear. âNo one could ever compare to you.â He says it like it's nothing, but it leaves you rattled.Â
Love language: I'd say quality time first and acts of service second. This man's idea of love is sitting next to each other on a quiet afternoon, reading a book, and just enjoying each other's intimate silence and presence. His affection is understated but heavy with intent.Â
Domesticity/ living together hcn: Amazing listener and impeccable at respecting boundaries. And he expects his to be respected in return. If you are the type of person with many quirks, rituals, or specific ways of doing things, he notices and adapts. The kind of partner who remembers exactly how you take your tea or which side of the bed you prefer, without ever needing to be told twice.
Random SFW hcn: It is not big on PDA, not at all; it is just not his style. But he is always there, close and at your side. He might not be big on hand-holding or kissing, but he is always making sure you are safe, like your very own warden dog.
Extra: Unrelated to the previous hcn, but Vergil romantically, to me, feels very Darcy Fitzwilliam coded. Awkward, prideful and looks intimidating, but it's only a socially inept nerd. But underneath it all, burning with intensity, there is a man who yearns with a passion.Â
Random NSFW hcn: I feel that he is the most likely of the cast to practice Shibari. The only one who is patient and precise enough to actually study and master the craft and learn the intricate knot designs.Â
Another Extra because I can: Because, to me, this is a hard and set in stone dominant man, many would assume he could only be into âobedientâ/ âGoodâ subs, but I think he would also be into Bratty subs too.Â
I think Vergil is the type that loves to be challenged and would prefer to "fight"/âforceâ his partner into submission rather than having them automatically submit.
Nero
Flirting and fluff: Blunt, awkward, and completely transparent. His flirting is 80% banter, 20% him blurting something heartfelt and then going red about it. You could tease him, and he will deny it, but secretly, he means every word.Â
Love language: Words of affirmation and quality time. He loves reassurance; it matters to him more than he'll ever admit. Plus, he loves being in the same room with you. Whenever youâre working on something, heâll just come sit nearby, fidgeting with his Devil Breaker or scrolling through his phone. Sometimes he doesn't say much; he just wants you near.
Domesticity/ living together hcn: Very college roommate lifestyle meets part-time mechanic. Tools, jackets, and devil breakers parts are left around, but he tries to keep the shared spaces neat for your sake. Living with Nero feels like building a home with your bestie; clumsy and vivacious, there might be clashes here and there, but little by little, you two could end up building a house, one small victory at a time.
Random SFW hcn: He loves taking dumb, candid photos of you. Mid-bite, mid-yawn, hair a mess, all catalogued in his phone. If you catch him, heâll laugh and say, âWhat? Youâre cute all the time, deal with it.â
Random NSFW hcn: Loud, impatient, and intense. Nero is energetic, messy and passionate, and he likes sex that way. Often forgetting the concept of pacing. He's all teeth, groans, and nails running on his back, completely unable to hide how undone you make him. He might have ripped a shirt or a bra in the heat of the moment.Â
VÂ
Flirting and fluff: To me, V is way more flirty than he appears to be. Much better with words than his counterpart, Vergil. His style is rather subtle, lowkey, delivered with a calm cadence and a little bit of mischief. Every compliment sounds intentional and like an eulogy.Â
Love language: Similarly, words of affirmation are his love language. He not only loves to give it but also to receive it. He would casually drop things like âYouâve done wellâ, âI am proud of youâ, or âThere is no one I would rather have by my side.â. He doesn't flatter; his words carry weight because he only speaks when he intends to. Â
Domesticity/ living together hcn: Surprisingly quiet and low-maintenance. He keeps to routines and doesnât clutter your space. Honestly, what is more bothersome is having to deal with Griffon and a giant ass panther chilling in the living room. (idk how you're gonna explain that one to the landlord, my friend)
Random SFW hcn: I think he is the kind of person who likes to sketch a lot, might absentmindedly draw you on the margins of his journals. Â
Random NSFW hcn: If you have a praise kink, you found your man. Lots of verbal intimacy and eye contact combo: âStay with me. Youâre doing so well. Look at me.â
Lady
Flirting and fluff: She is not a smooth talker. She is a bit sharp on the edges. Her flirting is part insults, part sarcasm and part challenging you to keep up. A bit rowdy and dominant, too. The type to slung an arm around your waist and kissed you loudly on the cheek if she feels like it.
Love language: Acts of service and physical touch. She won't make a big deal out of it; she would fix your gun, patch your wounds or run errands for you without being asked. But she can be a bit shameless with physical contact, loves when you sit on her lap, in private, she would be the type of girlfriend that would slap your butt absolutely unprovoked and then grin and wink at you.Â
Domesticity/ living together hcn: Practical, she seems tidy-ish, but not fussy. She seems minimalist and simplistic in lifestyle. Like clean counters, weapons locked away, everything stocked. Living with her must feel steady and quiet. Lots of movie nights and chilling with a beer so she can ground herself after hunts.Â
Random SFW hcn: Loves carrying you around, doesn't matter if you are twice her size/height, she loves it, and she can. Do not give her anything of âBut I'm too heavy!â Then she will pick you up just to prove a point. (I mean, she can carry Kalina Ann so effortlessly, Lady must have the ultimate sleeper build?) Bridal carry, over her shoulder, piggyback, even like a sack of potatoes, anything you can think of. Plus, she will do it at the most random times too, unprovoked, and you will never expect it (But you love it every time).Â
Random NSFW hcn:Â Like most of the women in DMC: This might be a femme dom, guys. Also, loves to bite and leave hickey marks all around you, huge marking/ownership kink.Â
Extra: After further introspection, I can also see her being a bratty bottom(?. Cuz the line between a femdom and a bratty woman can be quite blurry.Â
So, after some contemplation, I think she is a âPartner-dependent switchâ, meaning that she can be fully dom with one person or fully sub with another, but never a full-on switch with the same partner.Â
TrishÂ
Flirting and fluff: Very physical, when you are speaking, expect a lot of thigh touching, pulling a stray strand of hair behind your ear or leaning closer to whisper something to you.Â
Love language: Quality time and gift giving. The type of person that adores spoiling you, little luxuries like perfume, jewellery, clothes she thinks would suit you, or impulsive âthis made me think of youâ trinkets. Loves going on dates with you, cinema, a nice dinner or to a bakery, doesn't matter, she just wants to spend time with you.
Domesticity/ living together hcn: This is a messy girl, but in a hot/girly way ifywim, heels, makeup and jewellery everywhere. Lots of take-out, wine nights, movie nights, gossip over pasta dinner and doing a face mask together.Â
Random SFW hcn: Loves everything showers, she might as well have invented them. And you know what's better than having an everything shower on your own? Having your beloved partner next to you, and basically turning it into a SPA day.
Random NSFW hcn: A dominatrix. That's it, that's the hcn. Fully kinky too. Whips, leather and handcuffs. Not like Lady, who cannot be bothered to do all that, Trish will serve you the full performance. Hope you like it rough, though.Â
Nico
Flirting and fluff: She roasts you, a lot of pranks, jokes and banter: âCute face, shame âbout the brain.â But she is always laughing with you rather than at you; either way, having a thick skin is advised.Â
Love language: Quality time, loves any excuse to spend some time with you. But also, acts of service. She is a handy person, and she will use it to her advantage. Does your pc need some cleaning? She is at it. Do you need to change a lightbulb or your car oil? She already did it. Not only do you have a girlfriend, but also an all-in-one mechanic, plumber, tech specialist and electrician.
Domesticity/ living together hcn: Chaos everywhere, shit ton of post-it notes stuck all around with things she needs to do, has already done, or she will never do. Also, tools and devil bringers are in the most odd places, like a kitchen cabinet or the bathroom.Â
Extra: This woman is a smoker, so if you have anything white, expect it to turn yellow extra fast. Plus, I hope you don't mind cigarettes butts and random half-empty lighters everywhere.
Random SFW hcn: I hope you are a heavy sleeper because she gives me the impression that she is a nightmare to sleep next to. The type that hogs all the bed, snores loudly, sleep talks and is always too hot but still steals all the mattress.Â
Random NSFW hcn: Loves spontaneous and messy sex, she doesn't like when intimacy is treated as this very serious, overly-complicated, ritualistic and very planned thing. For her, the best sex should be random and instinctual, keeping it fun, simple and laidback. As you might have guessed, she lives for quickies.Â
Kyrie
Flirting and fluff: Lots of sweet compliments and messages with emojis and cute memes/TikToks saying âUsâ. Expect a lot of âDon't forget to sleep/drink some water/eat!â
Love language: Act of service. To no one's surprise. Lots of cooking for you, doing chores, and just trying to make your life smoother. Loves doing small things without being asked. Also, I think she enjoys receiving words of affirmation. I think she values it when you remind her that her efforts are never underappreciated.Â
Domesticity/ living together hcn: Like living with a grandma or a cottage-core girly. Everything is tidy, warm, cosy and smells nice. Thrives on routine but makes space for your things and your quirks. However, if you are extra messy (I mean the mess goes beyond your room toward the shared spaces), she will scold you.Â
Random SFW hcn:Â I think she is the type of person to always be humming: soft church hymns, lullabies, or songs from childhood. She just likes to sing while she is doing something.
Random NSFW hcn: A surprisingly adventurous lady, while timid at first, once she warms up, you will be shocked by the ideas she proposes to you to try. As long as it is in the realm of gentle and soft sex, she is quite open to trying new things.Â
OP-> I have so many Vergil hcns because this man won't leave my head. Plus, I had forgotten how fun it was to write NSFW. Might do a NSFW Alphabet with the twins someday
I genuinely unironically like it when people use the word "relapse" without clarifying what exactly they're talking about. Like you've had a problem and you've been working on having less of that problem but you momentarily went back on your bullshit for a little there. None of anyone else's business what that was, you've already said everything they need to know.
America killed 3 million Vietnamese people, we put half of South Vietnam in Concentration Camps, we dropped more bombs on North Vietnam than were dropped by both sides in WW2, We permeantly poisoned the land with Agent Orange, the American war on Vietnam was the most inhuman and despicable action in this nations history, the Vietnamese had every right to do whatever they wanted to the occupation
