Quick Tips For Writing Interesting Villains

Quick Tips for Writing Interesting Villains

Give them relationships with other characters. Being a villain doesn’t mean they’re isolated

Give them their own set of morals

Give them something to care about

Consider the reasons why they want to hurt the protagonist

Remember that they are human

Don’t make them evil for the sake of being evil

Keep in mind that a villain doesn’t have to do every horrible thing imaginable

Not every villain was abused. Someone who was spoiled is just as, if not more, likely to lack empathy than someone who was abused

Consider how they rationalize their behavior (blame their victims, make excuses, believe that what they’re doing is right) if you need a reference for this kind of behavior, look at how Trump defends the horrible things he does

Give them a life outside of being a villain. Maybe your protagonist is going shopping and they run into their villain and the villain isn’t interested or up for a fight that day. This really depends on the story, though

Give them a past, present, or future relationship with the protagonist. Again, this depends on the story

Consider making your villain likable

Give the reader a reason to sympathize with them

It’s been a minute since I posted haha. So started doing a script for the beginning of my story a month ago and so far it’s looking good. I also started a short timeskip story with the characters moved on in their life’s, but of course can’t forget the angst. For concept designs,it has been delayed and I’m not sure what I’m gonna do abt it. I’ve been reading light novels like durarara and the art is great might want to make my story into a comic don’t know. Anyways, good whatever time your reading this :]

Finally finished up some ceramic pieces I’ve been working on the past few months. They turned out pretty well and the mushroom didn’t explode like I thought it would. Also have this old technoblade drawing I did that I never finished lol. Anyways not sure if I’ll do pottery again but we’ll see and for the gaming manga club story, the second script is in progress! Yay! Anyways, good whatever time your reading this :)

Hello hello! I am back after awhile haha. I’ve been quite busy with life so here are a few updates on what I’ve worked on:

Finally finished the first arc of the gaming manga club series and now have to do the rough draft of the description with the dialogue included; should be fun

Starting a new project which is going to be an Orilovestea fanfic which is fantasy based and is going to include Nikki and a tad bit of tales from the smp; super excited and might post blueprints of the different locations

I’m doing pottery again and it’s a slow start since most of the projects were drawing and painting but now I’m doing a sheep pinch pot; who knows, it might be friend

So yeah those are some updates and looking forward to putting up some different content in the following days. Anyways, good whatever time your reading this :]

THERE MUST BE A PARAGRAPH BREAK EVERY TIME A NEW CHARACTER SPEAKS

THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL
