POV: Dante tracks down a young troublemaker Nero through an ebay listing he made of his missing brother’s sword—Yamato
DMC 4 MODERN HUMAN AU //
The Sparda family is an elite and successful lineage due to their presence in weaponry creation dating back centuries. Two swords, Rebellion and Yamato are family heirlooms passed down to the precious twins, Dante and Vergil. Like any other dangerous business, the family suffers greatly from their involvement in this field. The father Sparda goes missing, and the mother Eva dies in a mysterious “fire.” When Vergil turns 18, he abandons his past and pursues a brighter future of his own success rather than his father’s. Dante is left to handle the family business alone all until he discovers an Ebay listing for the one and only Yamato—Vergil’s sword. Could this be? Has his brother returned??
(It’s actually fuckass Nero Sparda trying to make some money off of some tacky sword that his mother left behind.)
Dante uses his resources to track down the user, discovering it’s none other than Nero—a strikingly familiar child with a love for getting into trouble. Dante takes it upon himself to bail the kid out for his recent “attempted assault” charges. Chaos ensues.
does anyone else despise the term "queer platonic relationship"? i'm all for platonic relationships being important and relevant in our lives, but the general consensus of a qpr is that its a secret-third-thing style partnership involving two people pursuing one another out of endearment with no chains of lust nor romance..and thats something that just does not scream "platonic" nor "romantic" to me. i can't help but wonder why we don't call it a queer ALTEROUS relationship? qar? i feel its this style of love that is most accurate to what it is to be non-romantically infatuated with your other half. i mean i think its less like "we're best friends who are together forever!" and more "we are those two queer-coded characters who have this unexplainable tension between them that the directors confirmed to be more than friends but not quite lovers we are confusing and intertwined but not in THAT way" yknow??? or am i aromanticing to hard
OK I swear I already went on one rant about the misuse of the term
"Lavender marriage"
But I can't find it to add to so separate post IG.
You do not WANT a lavender marriage.
Lavender marriages are for safety in a homophobic society you do not want to be hiding who you are attracted to.
What you want is a platonic or queerplatonic marriage.
And at this point I'm like 90% the reason people are misusing the terms is aphobia.
Cause what other reason would there be to ignore the important history of lavender marriages, to change their meaning to something that already has a word.
Other than because it's largely aspec people who use that word.
"That's a reach" Mate they still don't like to acknowledge the split attraction model and there's no explanation for that other than the sane thing.
Fandom: Well, we don't know that they're ace/aro/aroace. It's open for interpretation. They're not canonically ace/aro/aroace unless they specifically say they are.
Hmmmm. I wonder why we're so frustrated in fandom spaces. I wonder if there's a reason.
Lately people dismissing that has been getting on my nerves VERY much, so I’m making this post lol.
First the terminology:
Aromantic — an individual who doesn’t experience romantic attraction.
Asexual — an individual that doesn’t experience sexual attraction.
AroSpec — spectrum that includes different aromantic identities, from aros who don’t feel romantic attraction to those who do under certain circumstances or rarely.
AceSpec — spectrum that includes different asexual identities, from aces who don’t feel sexual attraction to those who do under certain circumstances or rarely.
*note that some aroace’s choose to use only asexual to define their sexual orientation. not both are and ace, kinda like bisexuals don’t say biromanic, bisexual, just bisexual.*
So first thing i will put here is this;
This in my humble opinion should be enough of a proof, but apparently it is not.
First this part of an interview, the person speaking is a creator/co-creator of Yelena. She says she is most likely to identify as asexual than to follow Nat’s romantic path. Hinting at both aro & ace.
So in the comics Yelena shows no interest dating, as far as i am aware she has no romantic interest in the comics. She is repulsed by sex, she calls herself „nothing” referring to her sexual identity.
As much as many like to say she is a lesbian, she is not, how fucking stupid you sound, honestly. She says it herself, if I said I’m not a lesbian, would you question it? No? Then don’t question her, she says she is not a lesbian, she has no wlw storyline. Drop the fucking lesbian hc.
Some possible foreshadowing in the MCU
1. When she is talking with a widow and a former Ana (show: Hawkeye), there is a line said by the widow accompanying her: „…you and Natasha can be reunited again and live your sex in the city fantasy”.
^ Yelena leaves the room, as soon as the word „sex” is mentioned her face drops, then we have this scene where she’s looking at herself in the mirror.
2. When talking about kids and family (movie: Black Widow) she mentions she wants a dog.
3. When describing „fake story” of her life she made up because her birth certificate was burnt she says Natasha has a husband and talks about her parents, but mentions nothing about her husband or possible spouses or children. (movie: Black Widow)
4. Yelena tends to wear a lot of aro/ace flag colors.
green coat & purple lipstick (green = aro | purple = ace)
yellow & blue colors = aroace flag
Overall Yelena wears a lot of green and white and black together, aromantic flag colors.
^^ can you call that „over the top?” yeah sure… let me remind yall something else:
when enid wore this sweather yall went WILD.
but when Yelena is wearing aroace colors all the time it’s called „reaching”…?
I will continue this with even more, because while you can agree with me and say she is aroace, still there will be people who claim she is aroace, agree, but then this fucking argument comes into place:
„AROS CAN DATE”
„ACES CAN FUCK”
„QPRS EXIST”
Do you see what’s wrong with those sentences? Nothing.
There’s a „but” thoooo…
There is nothing wrong with those, but using those arguments to totally ignore her sexuality ship her and treat her like suddenly she is allo is not it.
Yelena has shown no interest in dating or sex, we can assume she is sex-repulsed as she has shows repulsion to sex and she is to me at least implied to be romance-repulsed.
And we’ve found the problem.
Sex Repulsed Aces are as you can imagine repulsed by sex. Romance Repulsed Aros are repulsed by romance… So how is someone repulsed by said things engaging in said interaction and is not repulsed by them???
I think it’s a great idea to write her into said situations to show she is repulsed and to show it’s okay, because her life, my life, the lives of other uninterested in such thing aro/ace, our lives don’t end here.
Using how some people navigate through their sexuality to justify this is wrong.
You wouldn’t write a lesbian with a man, because bi lesbians exist and she may be a bi lesbian, right?
^ just an fyi, that’s an example, the term bi-lesbian is extremely harmful to both bisexuals and lesbians. check out this for more.
The QPR dilemma is that you don’t understand what a QPR is… it’s not more than friends…it’s not in the middle, it’s out of the regular binary of relationships. Relationships I actually think are QPRs:
Friends with benefits — purely platonic, but you fuck.
Situationship — just friends that do romantic stuff together, unless you call it a romantic relationship, with the other person agreeing on that, it is not one.
QPRs are amazing and beautiful, but it’s not always about fucking and kissing and „acting like a couple” but being a QPR. It can be being friends and living together, not temporary. It can be being friends and co-parenting. It can be many things.
But as I said Yelena is repulsed, why would someone repulsed by sex/romance engage in said thing happily with no doubts, fears, negative feelings just because it’s a qpr, so it’s suddenly fine…?
This is for now all I have to say about this.
As an AroAce, who desires no romantic relationship or a sexual one please please please let us have this representation, for once in our fucking lives.
