When Cerberus runs away from the demon lord's castle to find Lucifer and the human who gives him more treats he spots you but...his eyes then spot Mammon, Levi, and Beel along with a small white ...thing?...the annoyances that steal his cuddle time with father and mama...he CHARGES INSTANTLY AT THEM
Cerb*Growling making his wake to them faster than you and Lucifer could react*GGGRRRR!?
Mam, Levi & Beel*Scream in horror holding to cover Luke*AAAH!?!
Luke* Breaks free and pouts holding hands to stop cerberus*No! NO!
Cerb*Stops sliding on the floor with a whine looks at...the small white big blue eye...baby?*???
Luci & Mc:!?!
Mam, Levi & Beel:!?!
Luke*Hums and pouts his finger to go down*Sit
Cerb*Whines and sits down lowering his heads down to show a docile mood to the young baby*
Luci:...
Luke*Gleams and goes to Cerberus and starts petting each of his heads gently, giggling when Cerberus licks his face and hands*Good doggy
Luci:...What...what just happened?
Mam:...I think the baby just broke your dog
Cerberus is panting with his tongues out on his back,leg kicking as Luke is scratching his belly,tail wagging fast
MC drops their luggage in the front entrance of the House of Lamentation. “Where’s my sweetie!” They run through the house, dodging Lucifer and Mammon. They skip over Levi’s tail as it tries to grab their ankle. Clasps Asmo’s hands and swings them around twice before letting go, causing Asmo to spin and lose his balance.
Satan is knocked back into the chair he’d just stood up from, and Beel blinks in surprise as MC deftly lifts several demon bird wings off his plate then jumps the sofa and Belphie who had just started to wake up.
A large black body was struggling to enter the back door as MC rounded the corner.
“Sweetie-pie! Whose my best boy! Who is it?!” MC continues to squeal and squeeze Cerberus as his heads licked and slobbered over them and his tail smashed holes into the hall wall.
Mammon scowled at the scene and muttered. “Why they gotta be like that? What about us!?”
There are two bags that appear in Hades (to my memory), and because I'm pedantic I had to choose one of the canon bags to carry my stuff around while at the con. I could have gone with Hermes' bag, but it has too many little details and not enough room.
Making this bag actually went really well despite almost fucking up my math and not having enough material in the first part. I have not had to find the circumference of a circle for years, and almost got the wrong measurement for the sides of the sack. I could have gone with the classic 'fold in half' bag making approach, but I wanted this one to have a rounder look about it and be able to sit upright when placed on the floor. My plans are always super professional, and were so perfect that I maybe forgot to take photos of rest if the making process.
Once the outer bag was done, I could create the inner lining using the same measurements. I also roughly attached some interfacing to shape the sack a bit more.
Then after remembering to create some holes for the drawstring (long so I could use it to carry the bag over my shoulder if needed) and lining everything up it was time to sew the two pieces together!
All that's left is detail work - marking out the 'seam', staining the material with coffee grounds to get that nice dirty look, and then hand sewing the visible stitches with some embroidery thread.
Finally, I attached the blue ribbon but hand sewing one end - since it's just there for accuracy sake rather than to keep the bag closed, I just let the rest of it hang loose so it can be wrapped around when the bag is closed and tuck the end in.
Can't stop imagining Cerberus as a giant derpy 3 headed Rottweiler with huge paws, a big lolling tongue, a long tail that knocks over everything, and who has no idea how big he is.
Mc*Ridding On the back of Cerberus*Hurry Cebby!The Bad Angel who kidnapped Daddy is getting away!
Cerb*Running thru Devildom Street being sure not to hit cars along the way after being told by you the bad angels took daddy away, But makes a one-car crash along the way*Aroooo!
Mc*Looking back at the Car*Sorry!!!-Come on baby! Come on they are right there go get em!
Cerb*Heading into the building Mc is telling him to go but takes a closer look at the sign of the building, eyes widening in realizing stopping before his noses enter the giant door*!?!
The Building is...a GIANT Car Wash, Which makes the Giant Hellhound growl at your lying as he sets you down on the floor*
Cerb:Grrrr!*Turning around in a huffyfit*
Mc: Yeah Yeah-I know! But you wouldn't have come if I told you it was bath day!*Walks to be in front of him, crossing arms was knocked by the three heads blowing a breath*ACK-Cerberus Morningstar!*Gets back up and grabs his tail*
Cerb*Yips and body jump look as his body is dragged by his Tiny Human parent*!?!
Mc: UUGH!-NO! LISTEN TO MAMA!?*Trying not to budge in pulling him inside the washing building, as Cerberus whines and barks to get away, is using both Beel training to handle Cerberus and...magic to make them stronger*YOUR NOT GONNA WIN YOU KNOW THAT!
CarWashDemon*Watching in shock as the human is able to take control and lecture THE Cerberus like a mere human world dog*...
Mc*Puts the money on the register, looking at the worker*Four quarters please~
Cerb*Hidding behind a car, whining*
Mc: Uh Hello...I can SEE you...
Cerb*Pouts and brings his tail to also hide, hoping now you won't see him*...
Mc: BOY GET YOUR BUTT IN THERE!*Points at the carwash*
Luci*Sees Cerberus with a clean coat,smelling...of a new car? with pink bows on his necks*...Not so funny now that it happens to you huh
Cerb*Pouts at him*Ruff!
Just imagining you M!Mc calling himself "Mama" to Cerberus like Newt Scamander with his creatures-
oogh getting SSRs based on the characters titles would be fucking wild, imagine the possibility of having a Tactician Azul card with him and a sick chess game where the pieces all resemble the other characters that Azul just toys with to his heart’s content??

Hi, my dear mutual, thank you very much for the ask)))
The answer came to me surprisingly easy, though I have two of them because I can't decide - Nero roasting Goliath and King Cerberus weapon intro from 5. I love my plot (you know that), and there are some great emotional beats in dmc, but they are kind-of fanon in a way that, they exist in your head, you have to envision them happening. If it's dmc3 conflict scenes then you have to rely on your vision of what's going on through each twin's head in order to fully get the tragedy that's happening. There is beauty in leaving it to the imagination, and you know I love finding more and more stuff to be sad about interpretations of characters.
But also when you're in-game it's all wacky wahoo demon gore gameplay, keep calm and make them cry, have fun, y'know, so the best feeling cutscenes are the ones that resonate with your feelings as a player. This is also why all Vergil fights are so distinctive, cause with every other enemies you get to have fun and play around, but when it comes down to Vergil - it's now serious (though skilled players bully the hell out of him too). I imagine the same applies to the Nelo fight, and Mundus...if he wasn't a weird shooting gallery, the game does stumble there.
Nero bullying Goliath is just...very sweet in a way? Look at the adorable punk boi go!!! That's also kind the moment that solidifies him as the protagonist, cause if from there the entire game and plot were from his POV I wouldn't have minded at all (but I am very happy to have so many characters to play with). He feels much more self-assured, he grew out of teen angst that made him relatable, but kind of cringe-y to watch, and he just casually bullies a church-sized demon, that's very cool! Even started adapting his uncle's lazy-sleeping tendencies, that's adorable mimicry right there.
And KC weapon introduction is just chef's kiss. It's absolutely perfect. The KC fight itself is all great and fun and crazy, and the weapon intro is the cherry on top.

Seriously, just listen to the boss fight music. I have no idea who allowed this, but I want to thank them very much. When did the game become a techno-rave??? Why is an elemental dog techno-raver??? I have no idea, but this is so. fun. Also the little smile Dante does in that spin attack kills me, it's adorable (also Dante clearly needed new toys to play with as moral support for 5 plot)
Honourable mention: Nico barely avoiding hitting Nero and Nero going 'perfect timing'. That had me snorting xD
I would love to hear your answer to the question as well!
