shout out to all the writers and artists who take forever to finish something. I get it, bro. I take a long time too. but your worth as a writer/artist isn't built upon production. so just keep striding it out. keep taking those steps. we each have our own race track. we'll get to the finish line

Hell yeah though, I like it when there are just evil because they're evil. It's cool having sympathetic villains, but it just needs to be a villain that works within the confines of the story, I think at least.

I like that💀

But you're right, evil doesn't need a reason to exist, it just does.

Side note, but you reminded me, I want to rewatch the Scooby Doo movie, it's been like two decades💀

Not to be cheesy or anything, but it's like the Batman quote I like "Some people just want to watch the world burn"

Exactly, we have plenty of amoral idiot monsters in reality

You get it😌

Thanks! Feels like between being sick and this weekend, I haven't been around here much lately, hope you've been well, Kel!

100% and whatever fits, fits. No one "needs" to do anything other than write the villain that works for their story

Go read the thread though. Kayleigh does a better job getting into it all.

100% agree. You don't NEED to have your villains be anything other than what fits.

My current novel they're rich, selfish, scumbags with zero redeemable qualities. They're greedy oligarchs—cartoonish and devoid of any morals. Perfect for slaying without any mercy of second chances.

I'll say it: I think its rly annoying and frankly amateurish that writers are constantly told their villains must be understandable or have sympathetic motivation to be interesting or realistic when all our big villains irl are in fact rich, stupid, selfish, trickster dillweeds and always have been

It's been a long week.
Rest here, weary creative.
You deserve it.
