ok i'm not sure if you take requests or suggestions or anything but i love your Sparda boys hobbies headcanons ( domestic and happy headcanons are the best!) and i wondering if you would consider doing some for V too? I understand if you won't, he's just my fav and I hate to see him left out :D Thanks anyway!
sure thing!!! the only reason i didn’t do v is because i wasn’t sure how to make him a separate entity from vergil with separate interests, i have nothing against him at all lmao, but… here i go!!!
so, all in all, similar to vergil, but… kind of edgier
still a reader, and a reader of poetry, but not quite as… formal, i guess??? as vergil
physical activity? he doesn’t know her
obviously he still likes william blake and john donne and the english romantics, but he also likes more modern poetry. here’s a non-exhaustive list of some of his faves:
very much a walt whitman fan
also a fan of the confessional poets–sylvia plath in particular, anne sexton, john berryman and the dream songs
t.s. eliot. the love song of j. alfred prufrock was LIFECHANGING, as was the waste land. also fuck andrew lloyd webber for making cats
john ashbery, elizabeth bishop, louise gluck, octavio paz, alejandra pizarnik, anna akhmatova, maria tsvetaeva
conrad aiken was a very big influence on him–romantic enough thematically, (relatively) modern in diction, a symbolist, whatta man
of all the boys, probably the one most likely to go into academia as a career??? idk why–he seems like the type who loves to get into debates about his faves. also he’s physically suited for nothing else
before we go any further: beat poetry is worthless why does anyone like bukowski. allen ginsberg and howl can stay but they’re on thin fucking ice
v is more into modern fiction than vergil is, and is also more into lit theory
house. of. fucking. leaves. house of leaves!!!
he’s also the most into science fiction and weird fiction, out of all the boys
lovecraft was problematic as hell but damn the man could write some spooky shit
has mixed feelings about postmodernism, but does like some works that fall under its umbrella
very interested in art, and especially tattoos as an art form
has an instagram specifically to follow several tattoo artists that he admires
he’s overall more on the grid than vergil, or any of the boys, really
watches his movies critically. it is critical you understand this about him.
don’t take him to the theater with you. it’s no fun to drive home with him and listen to him critique the cinematography, the plot, etc. if you want to actually enjoy your movie, go by yourself.
it’s his opinion that anything worth doing or making is worth doing right, which is why he’s so critical
obviously, he’s right all the time lmao
like dante, he’s into folklore and fables
has a sick and twisted relationship with psychoanalytic theory–it’s like a car wreck, he just can’t look away
that’s his most recent tattoo: “fuck freud”
(he’s projecting SO HARD. just don’t tell him that he’s doing it.)
