Maybe if it turns out that they're more of an anti villain, and there's an even more sinister, otherworldly force behind them that has corrupted them somehow to the point that their original goal has been lost.

Okay so this is a really rough draft of what I have.

Basically, the setting is a fantasy land where portals open and people from other dimensions get dropped in and nobody quite knows why. It's a bit of a mish mash land with many different types of characters like knights, cowboys, witches, etc.

Long ago in the past, the world was pretty much Earth and there was a massive war. One of the soldiers, seeking an end to the conflict, found and used an ancient magic spell that essentially opened up a rift that wiped out both sides and began to draw other worlds closer to this one, dragging people in. He was fine with it at first, but as time has gone on and more and more people have appeared he began to see that the peaceful world he created was being slowly torn apart and corrupted by the ever growing population.

He took to acting as more of a dictator and cordoning off the different cultures by force, and closing any new portals that appeared to prevent new people entering the world. If anyone new does enter, he kills them. He doesn't enjoy it, and at the start he even hated it but as time has gone on he sees it as necessary and isn't bothered by it at all.

what makes villains interesting is that they think they are the heroes

What about ones who know what they are doing isn't heroic, but they are doing it just to keep things running the way they think is right?

Agents of chaos? Sure. Just don't make then overly annoying.

I was thinking more along the lines of them being in charge of running a city as a dictator for so long that they don't see how they could do it any other way.

I'm planning on getting into writing again and I'm in the planning stages of my story. Currently trying to figure out what sort of villain I want.


Do you think all villains need a motive or backstory that is sympathetic or makes sense, or do you sometimes enjoy villains that are just evil for the sake of being evil?

Trying to gauge. I  can use both if I have multiple baddies I guess.

I don't see why people have a problem with diversity in the first place.

When I went to Geekedfest last week I played 4 games of Smash and came first in 3 of them. Feelsgoodman. Ike FTW.

Become a master of karate and friendship.

If Dany died I don't think I'd feel any emotion whatsoever.

Cersei dying would feel like way more of an impact, like holy shit finally someone put her down. Dany's hype just kills it for me. I wish Jaime actually had succeeded in his suicide spear charge but of course they wouldn't let their girl go out like that.


I don't really get the Arya hype either tbh.


Fucks sake just give me more Jon, fuck.

I guess this counts, made me feel more sad than anything.

What is this thread? MGS was never good anyway.

What's that?




Oh it's the sound of WRONG

Meow.

I wish I could draw as free and loose as you guys do. I just need lines.


LIIINES. EVERYWHEEEERE.
