#I ranted at my bro for two straight hours about this idea omfg

[delusion-of-negation]

came up with what I think is a decent story idea from my dream earlier, but it's not as wholesale fucked up as my usual stuff, it is more subtly fucked up and more personally indulgent. it's got all usual my story things (supervillains, unhealthy love, blood, guts) though, except a big cast, usually my stories follow a few people who's stories all slowly weave together into the theme, but there currently are only three named characters in this. the main dude who's perspective it's told from, who's chill, very much a villain, I refuse to write a hero, but he's not evil; then the main horror bit, another guy, who's understandably evil, pure fucking evil, like he hasn't got any regard for human life, he's manipulative, he's very selfish, he's blunt and rude, but you know why he's like that, and hopefully you think maybe he could change; then there's a dude slowly revealed to be the only one who can kill him, which might seem like a solution, except... the second guy's power is a never ending timeloop, so all the evil shit he does isn't permanent, but killing him means time starts going again, making whatever bad things the third guy does completely permanent, and there's an awful lot of bad shit that he does and intends to do. so that's its question, side with the lesser of the two evils that'll permanently ravage the world, or the greater of two evils on a small hope that you're able to fix him, so that it'll then all get undone afterwards. additionally, second guy picks the former option, after living in a timeloop for millions and millions of years, he's kinda just happy there's finally a way off the ride. but first guy isn't such a big fan, suicidally dooming the entire planet to a muderous asshole isn't exactly his idea of a good plan. and then cool supervillain fights.
