#I just think it's fun to maintain allegiance and work around it ya know

Thinking about my villainous f/os...I wouldn't exactly say I "redeem" any of em, except kinda Zeena? It's more so the case I don't like the idea that special guy Me comes in and is just so amazing and perfect, it leads to someone changing their alignment. I get this is literal self insertion and strictly for fun, but I'm also a writer, and I enjoy consistency!

For Zeena, it's less like my sona "redeems" her, and more her feelings grow genuine. Plus—should I ever feel so inclined to rewrite aspects of the Deadly Six or Sonic Lost World—she was never really "evil". She was more following Zavok's lead, and Zavok is territorial; he didn't like Eggman or Sonic, but especially not Eggman coming into the Lost Hex and bossing em all around. Without Zavok, I feel most of the Six could be pretty chill. Save for like, Zazz, but that's his thing.

What lore I have with Sombra rn is similar-ish. She doesn't stop being evil, she just stops working for Talon. Doesn't stop her from hacking and messing with people even when expecting a baby, she's just not actively being a mercenary. Or whatever it is she is with Talon. I need to review Overwatch lore lol. There's also the fact my sona with her works for Talon, so we're both evil here, and such I could not redeem her. (Tho, have considered making my sona for her heroic...then she's corrupt me tee hee >:] )

Ursula is prolly the one case where I do have an intervention with her, somewhat. Working out the deets, but main idea is that I convince her that she's already got a good thing going on, that she's already royal worthy as is. If anything, going for the Triton's triton is thinking too small—we can think BIGGER! So I guess it's less convincing her to NOT be evil, and to be evil in a different direction. Really depends if my self ship starts up before or after the events of the first film.

Odessa is really the one case where we just continue being evil. Granted, it amounts to basically just stealing from museums and rich dudes so, is it really THAT bad? Hm? Helps that, from her brief spotlight in MG&DD, she's shown to be a rather respectful individual even if she does sell hero gear on the black market. She's a villain, but she had a code of honor!

...hm? Perona? No, she isn't evil! Sure, she ran into conflict with the Straw Hats, but what does that mean? Kidd allied with Luffy for Onigashima, does that make him not evil? (Apologies to Kidd enjoyers, though not really lol he sucks). She's a pirate just like all the rest of em, so she's gonna be a lil rough on the edges! Makes her fun :]

Also, wouldn't consider any of the Dangan-wives evil. Even tho Celeste and Kirumi were murderers...you have to understand, it was life or death there. Outside of the game (which is when my self ships happen), I think they'd be able to have calm, chill lives. They deserve it.
