Hi. Personal headcanon of mine is that mosquitoes Die after drinking a micro amount of sparda-line blood.

Like, a mosquito lands on Dante’s arm and Lady expects him to swat at it. He doesn’t. The mosquito is on him for a mere second before bursting into flames. The same thing happens to Vergil.

In contrast, a mosquito can hold Nero’s blood long enough to fly away a couple inches before spontaneously turning to ash. Nero does not notice the teeny tiny piles of ash are former mosquitoes. He makes sure that his and Kyrie’s house has a duster, since dust is so common (it’s rlly not).

Nero only learns that their blood can do that when he's hanging out with Dante and a mosquito flies on by, and he's about to reach over how he does when Kyrie gets a bug, and it instantly explodes into flames. Dante swears and pats out the tiny ember,

"Man, I hate bug season."

Nero just stares at him, a little blank.

"ok."

Suddenly is lot more suspicious of the tiny, tiny ash piles near the window where he was standing just a few minutes ago.

Have Maglor and Daeron of Doriath ever interacted canonically?

Thank you for your time 7:P

Good question! There's no confirmation that they personally interacted, but they were in the same place at the same time, the Mereth Aderthad at the pools of Ivrin in FA 20 (quoting the whole passage as it's an interesting one):

When twenty years of the Sun had passed, Fingolfin King of the Noldor made a great feast; and it was held in the spring near to the pools of Ivrin, whence the swift river Narog rose, for there the lands were green and fair at the feet of the Mountains of Shadow that shielded them from the north. The joy of that feast was long remembered in later days of sorrow; and it was called Mereth Aderthad, the Feast of Reuniting. Thither came many of the chieftains and people of Fingolfin and Finrod; and of the sons of Fëanor Maedhros and Maglor, with warriors of the eastern March; and there came also great numbers of the Grey-elves, wanderers of the woods of Beleriand and folk of the Havens, with Círdan their lord. There came even Green-elves from Ossiriand, the Land of Seven Rivers, far off under the walls of the Blue Mountains; but out of Doriath there came but two messengers, Mablung and Daeron, bearing greetings from the King. The Silmarillion, "Of the Return of the Noldor"

Must have been quite the party!

Hello o/

Do you plan to do this event next year (2024) ?

Hi! Thanks so much for asking. Yes, we do plan to hold Maedhros and Maglor Week in 2024! More details to follow, but it will probably be in February, around the same dates as this year (19th-25th).

[sindarweek]

Will you be doing Sindar Week at the same date next year (2024)?

I plan to, yes!

Heyo. Saw the post about dante not liking laces cuz he can’t figure them out and went hm, headcanon potential.

See, certain neurodivergent people, such as dyslexics (*points at myself*) have difficulty doing tasks that require keeping track of sideways, upsidedown, or whatever. So like, I have a simple way of tying my own shoes but I know there’s a more common, complicated way to do it.

Anyways, the prompt goes that; Maybe Dante can’t do certain tasks but completely overlooks it. He can’t tie his shoes because keeping track of all those knots and twirls makes his eyes feel upside down. He can’t do the military-style bedsheet tuck-in that Nero’s done before, because it ends up reversed. He can’t imagine wearing something like Vergil’s vest with all the clasps and buttons that has to be undone and redone. There’s all of these little things that Dante just…doesn’t do, and its just Dante being Dante.

But yeah, fun little characterization prompt, I guess. Not saying Dante is dyslexic, but it’s fun to speculate and wonder. Especially with all the autistic Vergil headcanons already floating around. I like the idea of Dante being his own flavor of neurodivergent and just living with it cuz he already knows he’s not Normal™️ (ironic, considering dyslexia is a human quality). Meanwhile, Vergil saw one (1) meme about being autistic and begins to question his sense of reality.

im so bad at answering asks.

I am also neurodivergent and dyslexic! Both reading-wise and I have left-right dyslexia. meaning. no matter how hard i try. no matter what trick you teach me. i cannot remember. it's gotten to the point where i am going to, legitimately, tattoo and L and an R on my hands so i can remember. I told my mom who also has it and we're going to do it together.

i honestly think all of the spardas are autistic coded [as well as Trish] because... well. they're not human. they aren't going to get the Secret Neurodivergent Codes of another fucking species. We can barely understand dogs and cats body language, and they've evolved alongside us! More dogs, but you know! I think they all struggle and while I don't think they have the same genetics that make them autistic [well, maybe. eva. went out of her way to fuck a roach, she's a bit Out There], per se, functionally they are autistic because they're not human enough to fully get it.

there's a lot of things dante knows he can't do. and he does definitely feel bad, or like a fuckup, or a slob [people joke about it and he definitely feels a lot of guilt/insecurity about it but you keep that deep down inside until you Die. if you die. one day.]

i think nero at first would be so annoyed about it but later realized. oh. he's not being lazy or weaponizing his incompetence. he genuinely just. doesn't get it. and he's trying really really hard.

he has to step back and be like. okay. dante really is trying. has to really muster that patient dad energy to try and help find a method that dante can do, even if it's not the normal one. like when you need to eat, but you're not able to make yourself do it, because it means dealing with dishes... then just use a paper plate, or go animal style and eat it with your bare hands. messy? wasteful? maybe. but sometimes we can't be perfect.

and dante is far from perfect, but nero's learning to be okay with it.

it's the man he's always wanted to be his father. he needs to be patient. with him. for him. for vergil, too.

Hi. Been enjoying ur headcanons and had a thought.

It seems like DMC5 Vergil has forgotten tons of stuff from his childhood, yeah? What if he forgot his birthday.

You’d think the easy solution is learning Dante’s birthday, but what if they were born on different days? Which is an actual thing for some twins (im not a doctor I just know its A Thing).

So if Vergil ever brought up vaguely knowing when his birthday is, but not the specific date…do you think Dante would tell him the date, or use the assumption of a shared birthday to bring them that little bit closer? Personally, I don’t think Dante would do it at the end of the day, but I know people write/headcanon their own interpretations of Vergil&Dante differently and I love hearing other ppl add onto and warp my brainrot 7:D

Usually when it comes to twins being born on different days that's usually because of midnight hitting or new years so it's one day after the other. There is superfetation, but that is SOOO rare and they're probably just same day boys. Functionally, it would matter very little if one was born the day before or after if the birth was around midnight, because many twins ignore that because, well, close enough, right?

I think Dante wouldn't lie to Vergil. Dante is a very honest man, he just doesn't say a lot regarding himself. He talks a lot but says nothing at all. Misdirection and omission, but never lying outright.

Especially not to Vergil. He's lost Vergil again, and again, and again. As children. Temen-Ni-Gru. Mallet Island. V's very existence proved that Vergil is gone, not the brother he once knew, a warped creature wearing his brother's demonic scent. Vergil's ghost has always haunted him, even when he's not been dead. Trapped between life and death, agony, purgatory.

He couldn't lie to Vergil. Especially when he's forgotten. Dante would crack jokes about it, but upon realizing Vergil really forgot, he just gets quiet. Maybe a little awkward if anyone else is in the room- Could be Trish or Lady, Patty or Nero, anyone, he's never told anyone his birthday. Dodged the question. Didn't want to think about the day he'd always go so far away, to the home they lost so long ago, to the last time they've spent a birthday together. Sometimes being a menace in grief. Other times trying to fix the beyond destroyed house, so at least there's one small room with a not-horrific bed if Vergil found himself crawling back home from hell and needed a place to sleep just for a night.

He'd say it, and it would be that. A quick thank you.

Vergil has no plans for celebrating. It's just a day. Dante has to wonder how he's going to celebrate their next birthday. His brother is here, and safe, and alive, and maybe a bit worse for wear, but here. He'd have to talk about it... later.

Much later.

Maybe a day or two in advance.

(Anyone who overheard is setting up their own plans, and marking their own grudges that Dante never told them his birthday himself)
