What makes a villain a villain for you? Idk very broad question no wrong answers to it
I tend to conflate "villain" and "antagonist" - or at least antagonistic, if they're a main character like Charm is haha - someone who impedes others, who seeks to do harm, who is in some way uncontrollable and therefore dangerous. I also tend to like villains that have someone or something to rage against, very Megamind haha - "If there's bad, good will rise up against it."
Villains can be as complex or simplistic as you like, which is very fun! Some villains like to be evil for funsies! Some are tortured! Some don't realize that what they're doing is harmful! Yves is great example of a BBEG who has only good intentions imo (and coincidentally, is also modeled after my own ADHD lol, I have something of a soft spot for dysregulated villains haha)
One of my favourite aspects of the True Villainy AU, and kind of Just Desserts S2 as a whole, is how different types of villains look and move in that world - Charm was seduced by thoughts of revenge that stemmed from loneliness and bitterness, where Kaiein is a manipulative asshole who gets his kicks from causing chaos from the sidelines. Their motivations are very different, but they both do harm, and are both stopped! Villains ✨

holy god that’s a lot of satin stitching i’m gonna have to do
okay phew i’m done that looks SICK actually
wait i want to put the cheer on there. cue a solid twenty minutes of me having an aneurysm trying to figure out WHICH SIDE OF MY TRANSFER PAPER TO TRACE ONTO. i fucked it up a couple times but WE GOT THERE EVENTUALLY
i was not about to satin stitch all of that lettering. started to backstitch it with six strands, it looks like shit, i pick out two dozen stitches, curse a couple times, and restart with three strands. much better
FINISHED!!!
Everyone I’ve ever met knows I’m from Buffalo because I never shut the fuck up about it. Not huge into sports like I know the rules and all the players’ names and shit, but into it enough to root for my hometown team and be happy when they win. Bills Mafia is a powerful force and this was a fun project even if it did twist my 2.5 brain cells into a knot a couple times!
