The Performance. The Drama. The Style.

AND THEN FINALLY

Yeah.

Like a really disappointed, yet resigned and kinda sad Yeah.

That's it. That's the show.

It was like one hell of a road.

Supernatural final and the following brainstorming in attempts to find SOME FRAKING SENSE was like

My understanding of D&D is that the GM has the power to make the next quest a heist, but the players control whether the background music for this heist will be the Pink Panther theme, the Mission Impossible theme, or the Benny Hill theme.

Friends: How do you choose your ships & OTPs?! It's so hard!

Me: The question is more like "how do I stop"

Blorbo: *is going through horrors beyond human comprehension*

Normal fans: oh no! Not my baby ;-;

Me, the no.1 fan and a freakos:

tchaikowsky donating his skull to the royal shakespeare company in the hopes of becoming yorick is the most dramatic ass dark academia shit ever and you can’t convince me otherwise

bweeh

Hey, maybe wanna cry even more thanks to this scene?

While reading Visions of V I suddenly had a thought when reaching these panels: Why did Vergil actually cut Dante's palm like that?

I mean, if the boys have proven anything, it's that they both have one hell of a pain tolerance. They get sliced and diced and stabbed on the regular after all, and while the injury may hinder them for a second or two (or three when exhausted), they've never really seemed to care too much about pain. Hell, Dante got utterly shish-kababed in the opening of dmc3 alone, and he seemed pretty unbothered by it all.

So why the cut if it's probably not going to deter Dante too much... Not truly at least...

But then I thought about the exact location of the cut and what it meant as an actual injury.

You see where Vergil sliced Dante's hand? That's anatomically where the main ligaments to flex ones fingers are located. Except of course the flexor of the thumb.

Here's a quick pic to better illustrate.

(Source, which is at the same time also a site about these kinds of injuries).

You see what I mean? Vergil cut through the flexor tendons in the palm pretty nicely since it looks like he went deep enough to sever them.

Which means that only the extensors were left as working ligaments. Which means Dante wouldn't have been able to curl his fingers in any way, only extend them as shown above (or in this set of gifs)...

Meaning, he wouldn't have been able to grab onto anything. At all. Not even his falling brother!

...

Vergil really didn't want to leave anything up to chance, did he?

He definitely noticed that in the moment Dante could have stopped his fall, since Dante was close enough to grab Vergil's foot or coat or maybe even more. So that's why he went and made even the thought of it an utter impossibility in one swift slice.

And sure, with the twins' healing it probably only took a split second for the ligaments to mend (maybe a bit longer even with their regeneration cause that's one nasty injury), but that split second was enough.

So not only did Vergil dissuade Dante from reaching for him or following him into the underworld through pain, drawing one last line into the sand his brother wasn't allowed to cross. But he also literally made it impossible for Dante to grab onto him with the hand he had extended.

All so that he could surely fall to his doom...

...

These two just never stop, do they? ;v;
