Meme: Quotes

[rebelseekspizza]

So, 1) I am still in a meme-y mood after yesterday but a different meme-y mood, and 2) we literally haven't done this meme since 2013. Which is sad, because I love sharing my own canon almost as much as I love seeing context/canon stuff from characters I love whose canons I've regrettably never touched. Or not touched lately. SO.

Here's how this works: tag in (under the appropriate journal) with canon quotes from your characters. No (or little) context, just the quotes -- individually if you want, or several in one comment.

People can tag in to those threads and either guess the context/situation, or ask you what it's about, or just comment on the quotes. This way we can all have a little amusement, dork about our canon a little, and maybe get in a little canon pimping on the side.

As always, don't forget to keep checking in and see what new stuff's gone up!

DmC does many things ridiculously, but it's got the brotherly bonding down pat.

Vergil: The way he keeps us docile is, ah... a little more insidious.
Dante: What is it?
Vergil: It's in your hand. Planet Earth's most popular soft drink, Virility. The demons have spiked it.
Dante: *veeeeeery slowly leans over and spittakes into a trash can*
Vergil: Hehe.

Vergil: We make quite the team.
Dante: I'm stronger.
Vergil: I'm smarter.
Dante: I'm better looking!
Vergil: Mundus is behind the vault door. Let's not keep him waiting. ... and I've got a bigger dick.

Dante: Where'd you learn to do that?
Vergil: What?
Dante: That computer stuff.
Vergil: Hacking? Taught myself as a kid, guess it gave me a sense of control.
Dante: Control. We never had that did we?
Vergil: No. I always felt that something was amiss, hidden from me.
Dante: So did I. It's like a burning feeling inside.
Vergil: Exactly, but I knew that if you peeled back the layers of bullshit, the truth would eventually out. Guess I channeled that energy into hacking. And you? How do you find release?
Dante: Killing demons and getting laid. ...but that computer stuff sounds good too!

Mundus, a 200 feet tall monster: Two Nephilim?! Two Sons of Sparda?!
Vergil: You ready for this?
Dante: We can kill him now?
Mundus: [muffled, in the background] ...sons of Sparda!
Vergil: The Hell Gate is shut.
Mundus: ... You will die!
Vergil: Never! [back to Dante] Any ideas?
Dante: You see that eye of his?
Mundus: [muffled evil ranting in the background]
Vergil: Yes!
Dante: His demon child had something like that! We start there.
Mundus: [more muffled ranting] ... master ...
Vergil: We'll have to get it open!
Mundus: ... I! AM! MUNDUS!
Dante: [exasperated] You're an asshole!
Mundus: RAAAAURGGGGGH!
Vergil: [sighs] Keep him busy.

Dante: It's the beginning of the end for the demons. Mankind will be free.
Vergil: Yes... free from the demons. The path is clear for us to rule.
Dante: ... What did you just say?
Vergil: ...The path is clear for us to rule?

It's that MAYBE IF I REPEAT MYSELF tone Vergil has that does it, really.

The fact that the "Fuck You!" back and forth isn't on here makes me sad!

[rebelseekspizza]

I was gonna post that if I found a good transcript and a good way to explain it! GIVE ME TIME.

[spin_kick_snap]

IT NEEDS NO EXPLANATION, IT'S GLORIOUS.

Tell that to the angry fanboys!

And then there's the 'stuff that broke my heart' edition; trigger warnings for self-harm and child abuse mentions under the spoiler cuts.

Dante: How'd you figure it all out?
Kat: Vergil pulled me out of the nightmare. You?
Dante: [voiceover over images of him fighting, older each time] When the people you are supposed to trust most turn out to be demon scum, your eyes really do open up to evil everywhere. I took a stand. Fought back... killed. No matter the consequences. So I chose my path, and I lived by it. And after all that anger, violence and death, you have to dig deep [ image of him at 15ish in a grimy bathroom, ripping a hole in his own chest and digging his fingers into it ] ...into your own heart... to see if you are still sane. And if you can still call yourself human.
Dante: [out loud, after prolonged silence] ... I just knew in my heart I wasn't crazy.

Dante: What were you doing here?
Kat: Escaping my nightmares.
Dante: You came to Limbo to escape your nightmares?
Kat: Yes.
Dante:

Dante: You guys seem tight. How'd you meet?
Kat: Is it relevant?
Dante: I like to know who I'm risking life and limb with? ... He's my brother, he's trying to save the world. What's your story?
Kat: [silence]
Dante: ... Look, I never asked for your help, but you gave it, and... I appreciate it. I trust you. You can trust me too.
Kat: ... He rescued me. I was in a foster home. My foster father was a demon. He attacked me most nights. I had to get out.
Dante: The nightmares.
Kat: It's okay. I felt nothing. I couldn't physically escape, so I... found another way. I aimlessly wandered Limbo in spirit form. And I found Vergil there. He heard my cry for help. He helped me to deal with the demons. Both figuratively and literally. [pause] I killed the bastard. [pause] Now I want to deal with them all. You're going to stick with us till the end, right?
Dante: Count on it.

Dante: What are you doing?
Kat: Our world and Limbo are very closely super-positioned. They collide in places, causing what we call rifts. It's here, in the rifts, that we can create gateways to and from Limbo.
Dante: [reaches down, touches what she's spraying, smells it] ... Doesn't smell too good. What's in the can?
Kat: A compound I created based on an old Wiccan recipe. Sea salt, shark oil, iron shavings, desiccated squirrel semen, wolf--
Dante: [wipes fingers on her hoodie] Good stuff!

Dante: What is that, an egg-timer?
Kat: It's a vial, containing a spell made from a variety of--
Dante: I don't need to know.

And because Nu demanded it, the scene that enraged classic series fans because they can't tell the difference between 'trying to be edgy' and 'trying to ICly write a feral teenage street rat facing off against a socially challenged giant slug'...

Dante: You must be the secret ingredient!
Succubus: Who... are... you?!
Dante: I'm your prom date, you ugly sack of shit!
Succubus: WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?
Dante: My name, by the way? Is Dante!
Succubus: Dante?! Son of Sparda? And Eva? The whooooooore?
Dante: [bows]
Succubus: [spits acid]
Dante: [jumps out of the way] Yep. But you can call me Dante the demon killer. Has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
Succubus: You want to kill me? You can't kill me! I'm twelve hundred years old!
Dante: You don't look a day over twelve thousand!
Succubus: Fuck you!
Dante: Fuck you!
Succubus: Fuck yooooooouasdfshflkadjfllblaaaarrgh! [spits acid]
[boss fight ensues]
