[ID: 2 Digital illustrations of a female DMCV Vergil in a dark space, lit from below. The first is a closeup of her face as she wipes blood off it with the back of her hand. Her eyes are slitted and electric blue. The second image is the fullbody. Blood's splattered on her clothes and hair, and soaks her forearms, hands and face. She glares up while swiping her bloody, gloved hand across her mouth, other hand gripping her sword, Yamato, by her side. Blood drips down the sheathe. Vergil's lit from below, casting eerie shadows on her face.
Design: She wears trousers and a vest. The highcollar vest's altered so the midsection curves across the chest like a corset. Her matted hair's waistlength, unbound, and falls across her face and arm. Her arms are toned, and her fingers taper to clawlike points.
The image is grainy, and encased in a square pink border; only Yamato's hilt pops out over the border. End ID.]
Read more for second version without blood.
[ID: The same image of fem Vergil as above, but sans blood and with a subtler grain effect. End ID.]
I was listening to Familyjules/Lollia's Bury the Light cover for some of this. I like their different approach to the more growly parts of the song. The vibes of that cover influenced this piece a decent bit.

So...what is Hudson's relationship with simon like? How does simon feel about his dad?
In short, it is the epitome of 'complicated'.
As for the longer explanation, I'll start at the beginning when Simon was just a kid, which was when he first met his dad. It wasn't a good first impression.
I imagine when Simon was a kid, he didn't have too many friends. Maybe some kids would try to befriend him at first, but either he accidentally scared them off or their parents told them to stay away from him, both happening because of his unnaturally grey skin, his pointy ears, his sharp teeth, claws and the way his eyes weren't always human.
With no one but his mother around, Simon was desperate for connection, so he did some digging and found a way to summon his father and that's where things went wrong. Simon accidentally ended up setting Hunson loose on the small town he lived in.
A lot of people lost their souls that night, but luckily Simon's mother was able to send Hunson back to the Nightosphere before he did too much damage. She heavily scolded Simon for summoning him and the two fled the town to avoid suspicion. Simon didn't sleep properly for a long time after that incident.
But surprisingly enough, as he got older he didn't hold as much as a grudge against his dad as he felt he should have. He came to understand that some demons just don't have morals, and even if some did they were nothing like human morals. Hunson was just one that had no morals or sense of good but he did love Simon.
Simon in his late 20s/early 30s would start visiting Hunson infrequently, as he still hadn't 100% forgiven Hunson and he didn't really like how the Nightosphere affected him (a headcanon for another time).
Their relationship stayed pretty much the same from that point to a while after the mushroom war. When the Lich had begun his attack on Ooo, he worked alongside Princess Bubblegum and Billy to fight his forces, but it wasn't enough.
Kingdoms were falling to ruin in days and with the Lich going after the gems of power, not only were himself and Bubblegum in danger, but so was Marceline - or Frostbite Queen as she now went by.
Simon went to Hunson to ask for the Nightosphere's army (or the closest thing his father had to an army). Hunson agreed, with a caveat. He'd allow Simon to command the forces of the Nightosphere if he agreed to become ruler of the Nightosphere.
Even though he was angry at Hunson for pushing such a thing at a time like that, he didn't see any other option. He agreed to it and was allowed to use the demons in the fight against the Lich, becoming the ruler of the Nightosphere in the process.
And as ruler, he was now the owner of the Nightospheric amulet. He barely uses it, just as a last resort since he can only just control it for a small amount of time.
Though Hunson's time apart from the amulet actually does him some good. He's still evil and Simon doesn't trust him to wander Ooo without some form of suppressor so he doesn't suck souls, but by the time show would take place, Simon and Hunson are on fairly good terms.
