So, I have a lot of Vil fanfics in the works, right? So much so that the Rook x Reader fanfic I was writing turned into a Vil one. Honestly, it was frustrating. However, it got me thinking about why I like writing for Vil. I thought I'd explain.

Vil is like my Epel. Vil wants to see Epel improve, and I want to see Vil improve. He has so much potential, but it's going to waste! It's ridiculous. Pomefiore is about bettering yourself. He should follow his dorm's code of conduct by focusing on communication skills.

Another thing I like about Vil is he'd be less resistant than Epel. In Chapter 5, Epel has a big inferiority complex surrounding his masculinity. Because of that, he's resistant to Vil's suggestions. On the other hand, Vil values improving oneself above all. In Chapter 6, Vil told Idia that even if there's a 1% chance that something will work, you should go for it. You can say you tried by the end. If you didn't, you wouldn't know if it worked. (I could be totally wrong about that quote, so please correct me if I am.) That's Vil's mindset. He's willing to try different things if it will help improve himself. That's an attractive quality. It's refreshing to write someone so willing to better themselves. In my fanfics, I like to bring out that latent potential.

Another reason I think he would be willing is because nobody calls him out in Chapter 5. At least not in a way that he’s receptive to. Deuce semi-calls him out after Epel runs out. However, Ace sides with Vil. It pushes Deuce to become reactive. Vil is a logical person. He tends to write off other's emotions, especially during Chapter 5. In that chapter, Vil is a master at rationalizing his behavior towards others. He's intimidating and confident. He uses logic to override, demean, and invalidate other's emotions. It's an awful and effective way to shut up an opposing party. Vil portrays himself as always being right. It seems like he's infallible. He can't be swayed or wrong, so people don't challenge him. He'll shred them with his logic. For others, it's not worth the effort. He displays a lot of toxic narcissistic behaviors in the chapter. It makes you wonder if you're crazy for feeling such emotions because he seems so self-assured. It's classic gaslighting. He sucks in that chapter. Vil becomes much better and more considerate in the later chapters, though. It's endearing watching him care about his Pomefiore group so much. He came a long way from being self-absorbed to valuing his friendships. It's part of why I love him. He's the only person to overblot that apologizes and compensates the victims. Despite his progress, he still has ways to improve. That's what I like to do in my fanfics.

Let's also talk about Vil's communication style, because that's the main aspect he should improve. In Chapter 5, Vil is overly harsh because he's stressed. He reverts to what he knows best. His behavior comes from the environment he was in as a child. The entertainment industry is brutal and unkind. Based on his communication style, it's clear he received that kind of treatment. I imagine there's also a level of "I had to go through all that criticism and pain. If I could put up with it, you can too." That's why he's so quick to give a harsh sentence. It's not healthy. However, that's what he experienced the most. Although his dad loves and cares about him (i'm like 90% sure. i haven't read that event, but he seems like the type lol), I don't think he shielded Vil a lot from the abusive aspects. It's clear by how callous Vil can be. I don't blame or fault Vil's dad for this, either. The entertainment industry's toxic behavior bleeds everywhere. There's only so much a parent can do to shield their kid. Besides, the important part is what happens after the trauma. Vil has a good and loving relationship with his dad. That's what's important.

So, in Chapter 5, Vil is fully absorbed in himself and his problems. He's not thinking about other people. He doesn't care about how they feel. The only way to snap him out of this state is to appeal to his desires. I won't tell you the different ways to do this because that's in my fanfics, but that's the basic way to get Vil to listen in stressful situations.

I also connect with his character a lot. A theater kid who has unrealistic and high expectations of themselves. Someone who's exhausted but continues pushing themself to the brink because they won't be enough otherwise. A person prone to burnout but doesn't have time for it. They have to keep changing and improving themselves to remain relevant and important. Someone with such a packed schedule they don't have time for friends outside of their activities. A person who's supposed to be strong, so whenever a problem happens, they try to solve it themself. It often goes awry, but sometimes it works. Either way, it's traumatic. I see a lot of myself in Vil. At least I did.

I became a better person after I left the environment that pushed me to act that way. I learned to slow down and realize I am enough by being myself. It's ok to go at my own pace when learning things. I don't have to be perfect or the best to be important and loved. I can have fun with friends outside of the activities I do. It's ok to have fun and relax around other people. I don't have to be perfect all the time. I discovered I like writing more than acting. However, I still love the performing arts. It's always been one of my outlets. It was why I was able to handle my childhood. Through all of this self-improvement, I became a better person. I was able to overcome some of my self-destructive and unhelpful behaviors. Obviously, I still struggle with some of these aspects, but I have the help I need. I have a good support system (like Vil gets after Chapter 5).

When I write for Vil, I write to help him become a better person. The biggest thing he lacks is interpersonal skills. That's my specialty. I'm fantastic at conflict management, voicing my feelings, and interpersonal communication. My skills help Vil reach his full potential. I want to help him. He's willing to learn to improve himself. That's why I feel so passionate about him. In real life, not many people take my suggestions regarding self-improvement. It's a great joy to write someone who's not only willing but will give it their all. He reminds me of myself in that way. When I first learned about some of my most invaluable skills, I threw myself into it too. I imagine Vil doing the same.

That's why I love writing for Vil.

such an incoherent post but godddd just thinking about the fact that Cap didn't have to even go to Button House the day he died, let alone try to sneak in. firstly he couldve found a way to write Havers a letter, surely (I keep getting stuck on this. he knows his full name and rank and places he served, there must have been a way to find him).

but because he was for some reason so intent on going there, he could've just waited outside the gate until Havers left and then gone over to say hello after the event. there was no need to go in if he wasnt invited. he didnt know whether Havers was there but if he was, wheres he gonna go while Cap's waiting for him to leave? if you're desperate enough to sneak in, you're desperate enough to wait outside too. or fucking,, give the man at the gate a letter to give to Havers. ask him to pass on a message. once again, he knows his name and his rank. the guy might not have let him in but he could've passed on a message or even sent someone to fetch Havers. "I've been trying to get in contact after the war" he'd have understood that, surely!

he didn't even have to wear the uniform for God's sake!! he could've turned up in his civvies and just hung out for a while. but something something can't escape the war, can't escape the uniform, can't escape the the judgement of other 'normal' men, other soldiers, can't escape the worry over what they'll think. something something once he got there, it was impossible to wait any longer. its all just so needless.

i hope you know you are directly responsible for me shipping cheabroken they make me so deranged.

haha yay yippee woo!!!!!! we need more broken ships in this world <- ships him with everyone

honestly i realllyyy wish we had gotten cheated in tower-fury. i understand two whiny bastards (/aff) would easily get annoying, but you can't tell me tower oneshotting us after we struggled to kill her wasn't bullshit. sure sure stubborn's god killer stuff is fun but like- c'mon man, you can't just monopolize broken like that!!

(and to put on my fanfiction goggles here- i think we could get a cool moment where cheated is firm in his belief the fury shouldn't be able to unravel us in an inverse to razor. he intuits he could probably keep everyone together only if broken stops sabotaging them, and maybe we get smth similar to para-apo where he's snapped out of his self loathing. would still a hater but yk willing to believe for tower's sake. it could be peak just saying)

"Why really be interested in me, oh, Father? I spelled out truth about your family, yet didn't spill a single insult, and still you became offended. I am not brave nor am I stupid enough to openly mock your ideas with a serious face. Quite the opposite, I have a clear understanding of how grand your influence really is and this influence I am terrified of. I am afraid of finding myself under it, because it is as magnetizing as it is ominous. I am scared of you. And I'm trying my best to run away and hide behind all the humorous comments I've been voicing and writing. To be completely honest with you, I expected you would see right through my theatrics and mark me unworthy of the effort to punish... However if you send your followers for my person in intent to save my lost soul, I want to inform you: I do not wish to be saved. In fact I am waiting for that Collapse you've been talking about so much to stay in the open field and get incinerated in mere seconds after the event starts. It was fun while it lasted, but you are wasting your time on me. I have no strength left to be listening and be hopeful for the better future. P."
