@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

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

100% I think Azula is a much more compelling villain, but I still think Ozai is underrated. We don’t know why he’s so evil, but he’s the personification of the evils Zuko and Azula face, so he’s interesting, because they’re interesting, if that makes sense. He’s not so much his own character for this reason, but it works, and…[Read more]

yeah, “tragic backstory” and “pure evil” villains have been done to death, but they can be good if done right.
Speaking of which (this might seem like it has nothing to do with the discussion but just hear me out), I was thinking of two different characters earlier today. They’re both borderline psychopaths,…[Read more]

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. Azula from Avatar the Last Airbender isn’t really sympathetic in the whole series, but she’s probably the most fascinating and terrifying villain I can think of. Her father, Ozai, is also a…[Read more]

Yeah, I haven’t gotten far at all in any of mine either (I mean I’ve wrote and rewrote one of them like four times or so and scrapped each attempt, but aside from that…) so lack of well-developed villains hasn’t been a problem.
My main difficulty is giving villains good motivation. I definitely don’t want to end up with…[Read more]

I’m kind of in the same boat when it comes to villains. I have relatively few that I would consider to “exist.” I can probably count them. I think five. Out of those, two are of the non-sympathetic, pure evil variety (and one is just the crony of the other), two are not very fleshed out, and the last is only moderately well…[Read more]

You’re welcome!
Yes, I’m thinking that it’s his only option. And the earning Vital makes sense, it would be in an insanely high demand material, which would make it extremely expensive. But it also needs to be semi accessible to the public so people survive. 🤔 It would create a very interesting economy dynamic I think, I’l…

Okay, idea. What if the villains are already in the castle, and meet the groups that way to start working with them?
I’m thinking it would be better to have them arrive in a separate scene, so that they can be briefed on what they’re supposed to do. (I also haven’t even decided on mine yet.)

Scoutillus Finch replied to the topic Romantic Subplot help? in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 months, 1 week ago
I think your idea is rather interesting! I might as well give my two cents, but for me, if a romance winds up in my stories, it tends to just kind of happen, I’ll just be thinking and I’ll realize, “oh, they make a good couple!” or something along those lines. So, do take my cents with a grain of salt lol.
I recommend…[Read more]

Snake
The doors creaked open. Carrie and the alien-with-colors [I don’t think he knows her name] had attempted to bust through, but apparently the inhabitants of the castle didn’t mind opening it for them.
A rather strange decision….He was new to this whole kingdom-and-its-ruler thing, but even…[Read more]

Allen
He stepped out of the darkness into an old castle, not unlike the ones he’d seen as pictures on his father’s datapads.
Strange….
Hadn’t he just been in an Imperial cruiser not ten minutes ago?
“Drop your weapons or I won’t hesitate to attack.” came a voice from behind him.
Startled, he pulled out his g…[Read more]

@princesachronicle22 @esther-c sorry for not replying. I’ve been busy this whole week lol
@esther I’m probably putting in Allen, a charrie from a Star Wars fanfic I haven’t used in a while, and since I don’t know if you know what he looks like, I’ll give a description:
He actually resembles @princesa’s two Pelgarkines with his azure blue skin…[Read more]
