The Psychology of Villains: Creating Memorable Antagonists
In the captivating tapestry of storytelling, villains are the shadows that dance across the pages, casting darkness and conflict that breathe life into the narrative. Crafting a memorable antagonist is a delicate art, one that requires an understanding of the psychology that makes villains not just formidable but compelling. In this exploration of the psychology of villains, we will dissect the…

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

The Morally Grey Character: Why We Love Them
In the murky depths of fantasy literature, there exists a breed of character that captures our hearts. If only because they’ve already stolen it when we weren’t looking. These are the morally grey characters. The ones who straddle the line between hero and villain with all the grace of a cat walking a tightrope over a pit of hungry crocodiles. But what is it about these dubious darlings that…

i have such a love for characters who descend into madness or villainy out of deep, deep empathy. characters who fundamentally cannot cope with the cruel realities they find themselves in and blow up about it in spectacular fashion. fallen angel type characters with tears of outrage in their eyes. characters who break before they bend, and break so badly they splatter blood all over their noble ideals. every variation on it gets me so good

Of the 19 hijackers who carried out the Sept 11 attacks:
15 were from Saudi Arabia (a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)
2 were from the United Arab Emirates (also a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)
1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.
None of the hijackers were from Iraq.
None of the Sept 11 hijackers were Iraqi.
None of the 9/11 hijackers were from Iraq.

[ID: A four panel comic of a scene from chapter 41 of @grubus's Scum Villain fanfic Shen Yuan of No Relation.
Panel 1: Shen Qingqiu bursts into the bamboo house, framed by the doorway and the falling snow outside. "What," he says, "are you cretins doing?"
Panel 2: Shen Yuan and Luo Binghe are sitting at a low table with tea and several bowls of food laid out. Shen Yuan stares at Shen Qingqiu's inelegant arrival, while Binghe is holding a morsel of food with a pair of chop sticks. "Feeding Shixiong," he says.
Panel 3: Luo Binghe presses the food to Shen Yuan's mouth- he opens automatically, still staring at Shen Qingqiu
Panel 4: in the background, Shen Yuan is blushing furiously at his automatic response; Lou Binghe, pleased, continues eating with the same pait of chopsticks. In the foreground, Shen Qingqiu is drawn in a comically sketchier style, shaking in rage.
End ID.]
Yes it is once again a comic for Shen Yuan of No Relation but have you considered. It's very good.
also bonus last panel with no SQQ

pvp civ nation...... this aint much but pls take my contribution for this series bc im going insane i love hate this man so much get him out of my head
#senart#pvp civilization#pvp civ#I'LL MAKE A PROPER ONE I SWEARR I JUST NEED TO GET THIS OUT OF MYSYSTEM FIRST#if it turns out he gets a bad ending in ep 6 i dont think i'll be ok like#he deserves a good ending . or a villain arc at least. he deserves to go batshit crazy after how everyone treated him#ALSOO the chekovs gun video journal device thing?? The excessive 4th wall breaking?#Is it just me or does jt feel like evbo is gonna lose his memory/already lost his memory and was sent to the wood sword lvl with tabi#or like . Idk?? It feels kind of truman show ish. Well maybe not that but its just the vibe im getting w the way that everyone has their-#-own secrets. How the diamond swords seems to know who evbo n tabi is. How princezam knows about the diamond swords#and then theres also parrot whos just?? Weird overall?? Idk whats going on w him but i need to know his backstory wdym u think evbo will-#-hate you if he knows what you did??#ANYWAY BACK TO THE VIDEO JOURNAL AND POTENTIAL MEMORY LOSS.#I dont want jt to go that way (mostly bc i dont want to see evbo suffer more than he already did) but it rlly does seem like its heading to#that direction w the way that it also has become a way to narrate what he went through (ie when the ep shows his attempts to beat the-#gold sword lvl but hes narrating it from the future. from his video journal. where he already beat the lvl)#im going insane#Wait also what i meant by the truman show vibe in relation to the excessive 4th wall breaks it makes it sound like pvp civ is just a -#simulation#wait i just remembered its the matrix not that mb umm#anyways.#empty chattering

When Danny enters the Fenton portal for the very first time, he still trips and shocks himself but at the same time damages the inside of the portal enough that it can’t sustain itself past the point of changing Danny’s molecules.
The electricity and damage done to both Danny and the portal isn’t something Danny, Sam, and Tucker can cover up and his parents find out immediately. They’re more concerned about their son then the portal (they have the blueprints for the portal and can rebuild it later but can’t replace their son if something happened to him) and go through a lot of things emotions regarding the existence of ghost human hybrids.
Danny’s new biology could easily be passed as meta human traits. Unfortunately President Lex Luther had just recently passed laws against meta humans. Meaning they can’t risk people find out about Danny’s new powers, at all. The Fentons decide that Danny should live with one of Maddie or Jacks relatives off grid until he can control his new abilities better.
luckily Jacks sister, Martha, and her husband have experience with a super powered child and after their son moved to the city could probably use a hand on their farm. All Jack needed to do was call.

This man has one of the best character designs I’ve ever seen. He’s designed like a stereotypical villain with his sharp features, dark armor, and the scar across his eye…but in actuality he’s goofy and sad.

The Timeline Shifted, and Sam is conflicted...
So! A Timeline Shift occurs one day (thanks Barry) while Team Phantom are in the Ghost Zone helping Clockwork with a few things. As they are going back to the Human World, Clockwork gives them another cryptic piece of advice.
"Unfortunately the world will not be the same as it once was. Samantha, you will find this especially Jarring, but keep an open mind."
Before they can ask what happened, he shoves them through their own respective Portals, and Sam lands in an Alleyway in Gotham.
She is confused, but a green glowing sticky note appears in front of her telling her 'go to the nearby park, you will see what I was talking about'
She walks over, and sees a lady with Green Skin tending to some flowers. Her head is covered by a Hat, so Sam can't see her face.
They strike up a Conversation, and Sam finds that this Lady is great. She loves taking care of Plants, she hates it when Companies pollute the Earth, and she even has Plant Powers just like Sam!
It occurs to her that she never asked for the Lady's name, so she asks and the lady lifts her Hat to reveal her face. And Sam freezes.
"Oh, sorry for not introducing myself. My name is Pamela Isley."
Thats her Mom's Maiden Name.
This lady has her Mom's Name.
This is her Mom.
Oooooooohhhhhhhhhh shit.

one thing about the ethubs moment where they talk about their feelings in wild life episode 1 is like, the immediate reframing of it as a soap opera. Like, it's not the perfect model of conflict resolution etc and they're still being bitchy but it's the closest these guys get to actually talking through an issue directly, and then some defensive instinct kicks in and they're like "what good drama! Look at us doing soap opera!! Oh Tango is a new character introduced to the scene what good timing!!"
And you can take this as meta and not real to the 'characters' (booooo whatever) especially because Etho takes a moment to address the audience and Bdubs says they're putting it on, but I think it's much more fun and interesting to me that they approached sincerity and actually talking about their feelings (it's about the horse but it's also about more than the horse. Etho even says it's an ego thing) and then they immediately distance themselves from how real that feels by making it into a fictional and heightened scenario. or uh whatever
