I absolutely love it when I take a short break from creative endeavors, and when I come back, everything clicks together, I get a half dozen new character ideas, a new plot device occurs to me… I highly recommend taking week-long breaks, because this is awesome.

@godlyfantasy12

Sure, no prob!

@loopylin

Oh that’s a perfect explanation, thank you for digging into that! Because I didn’t have the brain power to explain it even though it was on my mind.

@freed_and_redeemed

Lol, I’ll take it 😂

I am also sorry if anything I said sounded overly aggressive or intimidating…
I just feel like this is an important topic. Knowing every story -…[Read more]

yep lol.

@freed_and_redeemed @loopylin @whalekeeper

this is unfished, but enjoy anyways.

Lesli smiles, looking around at the amassing crowd around her.

“Wow, I’ve never seen the shopping district so crowded!” She squeezes Tauren’s arm, being careful not to wrinkle his starched white shirt.

“Yeah…” Tauren scans the crowd easily, his h…[Read more]

Ah, was my post eaten?

@jonas

All you do is get on voice chat, then share your screen for the most part. I’ll be busy too. I have work most days now, though only in the first half of the day, and I’ll be serving a mission not long from now. That’s awesome that your doing karate!

Maybe we could figure something out in the near future, but I don’t know. I’ll just say…[Read more]

@keilah-h

XD thanks! I’m taking Japanese rn. I put it through translate too just to make sure I did it right lol.

You do! I forgot about that! Oh that’s super cool! I always like when expressions relevant to history are worked into worldbuilding.

@thearcaneaxiom

So, how exactly does discord’s streaming work? I’m honestly not sure if I would have time at this point. I’ve been pretty busy with school (which is why I haven’t been on KP much lately) and on top of that, I’m also training for my karate black belt test, which has been pretty time consuming. Things will probably be changing a lot…[Read more]

@jonas

Yeah, I do have discord. I don’t use it very much but I have it. You can stream things on discord?

Yeah! I don’t know why I haven’t thought of it before. Although, the question is whether it will stream well, but I’d say it’s worth a shot if you’re up for it!

@thearcaneaxiom

Ah, great.

@keilah-h @princesachronicle22

We can continue here if anyone wants to.

@thearcaneaxiom

I just had an idea! Do you have discord? What if we streamed it on there?

Yeah, I do have discord. I don’t use it very much but I have it. You can stream things on discord?

Yeah, there’s a few, I could find one and we can revive it, or we can make a new one.

Sure. Probably better to reuse an old one, but it doesn’t matter too much.

@jonas

Here’s one

@jonas

I would also say that it depends on the villain’s role. Sometimes you need a sympathetic villain for the story to work. But yeah, in and of themselves, a non-sympathetic villain isn’t a bad thing.

True, of course ignoring the fact that a non-sympathetic villain by definition, is bad😂 (Someone was bound to do this, so I thought it might as…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Yeah, I think it’s important to remember that it’s never bad for a villain to be non sympathetic, it’s just all in the execution.

@thearcaneaxiom yeah, I think that’s probably why he’s in the category of “Not really a good guy, and not a guy I’d go and talk to alone, but not horrible either, and someone I might interact with if I knew I was safe from whatever he might do” whereas the other guy I was talking about……*shudders*

@princesachronicle22 yep.

Although Vader and Kylo are two halves of the same coin tbh

then there’s Loki, who’s all over the place (technically he was kinda redeemed though? so does he still count?)

and I don’t exactly know the others, but I can tell they’re probably something like the ones I do know

@keilah-h

True, anti-heros are separate from villains. The mere fact that he can be considered an anti-hero can push him over to likeable, though not always.

@princesachronicle22

Yeah, some of these villains you can root for for different reasons. Some are sympathetic with sad backgrounds, others and just intriguing.

@thearcaneaxiom yeah, there are plenty of fandoms where something like that happens.

The first character I referred to was a kind of antihero, so he’s not a villain in the truest sense of the word, but I suppose the same rules can apply either way.
