Misunderstood Villain 

Prepare for an onslaught of both the most dehumanizing and hateful takes, and flood of thirst comments. You are chronically misunderstood; even whether or not you’re actually evil is debatable. You may be acting out for revenge, to defend someone you love, or even just to protect yourself. You’re a pretty jaded person - you don’t trust or even really like most people. Maybe you did at one point, but that part of you is gone, and you don’t go a single day without grieving it; you think a lot about what your life could have been. You’re stuck in the past. You’re angry and maybe you don’t even want to be, but this is the only way you can see to survive. You’re open, but less in a trusting way and more like a wound. You don’t like to let people see you, but the hurt spills out of you before you can stop it. You’re impulsive, even as you try hard to plan and prepare. Maybe someday your side of the story will finally be heard. Until then, you can convince yourself that being hated is safer anyway.

Well what do you know, a quiz that hit it on the head! Even the term ‘villain’ is debatable when it comes to Jak - she’s not any one thing, at the end of the day, but this little quiz kinda summarized her better than I think I could have, given how long winded I tend to get when I have to do that kind of thing! (And indeed she/I have faced our fair share of both hate and thirst comments since I came around in 2019, lol!) But I always like to think about how the person she’s become is nothing like the person she was - the person she had to give up, to be able to survive Garlemald. She does mourn that girl, but she’s never coming back - she’s as dead as the rest of the tribe. 

The only way forward is paved with the only things that makes sense: chaos and fury, because it is safer if you hate her.

recently i reread a bunch of my favorite sherlock holmes stories (norw my beloved) and felt compelled to create my own diagram for 221B
