How to make a romance story:

Braid it.

Each of your characters should have their own lives, wants, desires, etc going on that intersect often. They each have a different plotline of their own going on. THEN you have the romance plotline weaving between their two lives.

psst you. yeah, you, you villain enjoyer

one time i watched megamind and found myself imagining a version of the movie where roxanne accidentally got the superpowers and megamind fell for her while training her to use them.

then i went and wrote a book about it.

VILLAIN COMPLEX is a megamind-inspired hero x villain romance. After killing the hero Storm Warning, Julian a.k.a. Citadel learns that the hero's powers have passed on to an ordinary woman named Charotte. The leader of Julian's villain team wants the power stolen from her, but Julian is convinced he can persuade her to join the villains.

He pretends to be connected to the dead hero and offers to train her, but it doesn't take long for him to get swept up in her fierce determination and unrelenting kindness. And as his two identities threaten to collide, he's forced to reassess all the choices that let him down his current path.

VILLAIN COMPLEX comes out July 1st, and you can preorder a copy at a discount right now by donating to my Indiegogo 💜

Something about human, non-powered superheroes. Something about living in a world with gods and aliens and speedsters and making the choice to stand beside them. Something about being painfully aware of your own mortality but choosing to keep fighting for good. Something about knowing that most of your teammates could do takes you days in seconds and deciding "no, if I can help even the slightest bit, I must". Something about pushing yourself to your limits and beyond so that you can stand up against evils so much greater than yourself and face them without hesitation. Something about having the choice to live a normal life- it's not your birthright, it's not some greater fate, you have every option to keep yourself safe- and saying no. Something.

Random Hero x Villain prompts: sculpture

(The game: this site gives me a random word and I turn it into H/V prompts. You’re welcome to play, to add your own or to use them to write a snippet, just tag me or something if you do.)

The word is: sculpture

Hero/Villain has the power to turn people into statues. Are they still conscious when they’re transformed?

Hero/Villain has the power to give life to sculptures, which are their helpers.

There’s a sculpture of a favorite hero in the city hall. However, Reporter discovers some very unpleasant secret about them.

There’s a sculpture of a favorite hero in the city hall – hold on, has it just moved ?

Sidekick/Henchman’s secret hobby is sculpture. Their boss is not taking it well and destroys their work.

Random Hero x Villain prompts: stairs

(The game: this site gives me a random word and I turn it into H/V prompts. You’re welcome to play, to add your own or to use them to write a snippet, just tag me or something if you do.)

The word is: stairs

Villain’s evil lair is a tower. If an unwanted guest tries to climb the stairs, the steps disappear and the intruder glides down - or falls to their death.

Hero is trapped in Villain’s prison. Bound and blindfolded, all they can do is hear Villain’s steps getting closer and closer as they climb down the stairs.

Hero is trapped in Villain’s prison. Bound and blindfolded, all they can do is hear steps getting closer and closer as someone climb down the stairs. However, this time they hear their team's voices.

Hero has the power to conjure up stairs wherever they want. Sure, it’s not as impressive as flying or jumping very high, but it has its perks.

For Superhero, villains are not a problem. No, their real nemesis is the agency’s stairs, because they use a wheelchair or a cane.

“I will never join your side!” “Really? I’ll have you know we have accommodations for all kind of disabilities in our evil lair, including elevators. You’ll never have to use the stairs again.” “...I’m listening.”

A small hero/villain can finally look Superhero/Supervillain in the eye thanks to the stairs. Or they loom over them from the top for the first time, like a monarch from their throne.

Buddies with a big height difference can finally hug with their heads on the same level.

The oracle that has predicted a catastrophic event must be contacted ASAP. Unfortunately, Hero has hundreds of steps to climb before reaching their room.

Villain/Hero got injured during a fight. It’s up to their henchman/sidekick to carry them through the stairs.

Detective is infiltrating the evil lair and is hiding behind the steps, praying they won’t get caught.

Hero discovers that a so-called hero works with Villain, but the mole catches them snooping around. “Oops! Sorry Hero, I can’t let you get away now that you know.” Hero gets thrown off the stairs. Everyone thinks it’s an accident.

Outranked by a Chihuahua who's not even on the team yet 😂

Chihuahua Of Doom

Villain: Ah, my loyal right-hand, what do you have to report?

Right-Hand: Well, boss, it seems our henchmen have stumbled upon a rather unusual obstacle while trying to infiltrate the superhero's lair.

Villain: Unusual obstacle? Pray, do tell, what did they encounter?

Right-Hand: Apparently, they were thwarted by a very angry guard dog, sir. A Chihuahua, to be precise.

Villain: (Laughs) A Chihuahua? Those tiny terrors strike fear into the hearts of our henchmen?

Henchman 1: Boss, you should've seen it! That little critter had teeth like razor blades! It even chased me up a tree!

Henchman 2: Yeah, and it had this ferocious bark that made my eardrums shiver! I swear I saw my life flash before my eyes!

Villain: (Chuckles) How delightful! Perhaps we should recruit that mighty Chihuahua into our ranks. No hero will stand a chance against such a fearsome foe.

Scientist: Sir, I'm afraid that might not be the most strategic move. Chihuahuas, though adorable, might lack the physical prowess required for our evil endeavors.

Villain: Nonsense! We shall outfit it with a tiny jetpack and train it in the art of canine combat. The world will tremble before the "Chihuahua of Doom"!

Right-Hand: Brilliant, boss! We'll conquer the world one ankle bite at a time!

Henchman 3: (Whispering to Henchman 4) Did you ever think our lives would come to this? Being outranked by a Chihuahua?

Henchman 4: (Chuckles) Well, it's certainly a change of pace. Who knows, maybe it's the start of a new era in villainy—where tiny dogs reign supreme!

Villain: (Laughs maniacally) Indeed, my loyal minions! We shall unleash the power of the Chihuahua upon the world and bring them to their knees! But first, someone fetch me a doggy treat. All this evil planning has made me hungry.

Scientist: Of course, sir. I'll get right on that. But might I suggest we also consider recruiting a Shih Tzu or a Pomeranian? Variety is the spice of villainy, after all.

Villain: Excellent idea! Let's assemble the world's most formidable pack of adorable destruction! Onward, my minions, to the pet store!

I regret to inform you that Discord's new Terms of Service includes an arbitration clause. You can find it here https://discord.com/terms/#16. This clause includes an opt-out, which I have transcribed here:

You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to [email protected] within 30 days of April 15, 2024 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Discord also will not be bound by them.

These clauses are underhanded ways that corporations seek to deprive you of your right to participate in class-action lawsuits and your right to a jury trial. (This does only apply to us users ,other people still spread the word though )

How To (Realistically) Make A Habit Of Writing

To clarify: Works with my autism. WORKS WITH MY AUTISM!!! I’ve been meeting my goals since I made them my New Year’s resolution! Anyway I’m so sick of all those ‘how to’ guides that don’t actually tell you what the process is they’re just like ‘just do it, but don’t burn yourself out, do what’s best for you!’ because you’re not telling me what I’m not supposed to be burning myself out over but okay, so I made my own. Hope this helps

1. Choose your fighter metric. What works better for you as a measurement of your progress; time spent writing or your word count? Personally I get very motivated and encouraged by seeing my word count go up and making a note of where it should be when I’m done, so I measure by that. At the same time, a lot of people are also very discouraged by their word count and it can negatively impact their motivation to write, and in that case you may be better off working from how much time you spend writing rather than where the word count is

2. Choose your starter Pokémon time frame. How often can you write before it starts to feel like a chore or a burden rather than something fun you look forward to? Many people believe that they have to write daily, but for some people this can do more harm than good. Maybe every two or three days? Weekly? Figure out what fits your schedule and go with it

3. Choose your funny third joke goal. Now that you’ve got your chosen time frame to complete your goal in, what’s a reasonable goal to aim to complete within that time frame based on the metric you chose? If your metric is your word count, how much can you reasonably and consistently write within your chosen time frame? If your metric is time spent writing, how much time can you reasonably and consistently spend writing within that time? Maybe 1000 words per week works, or maybe 10 minutes per day? The goal here is to find something that works for you and your own schedule without burning you out

4. Trial and error. Experiment with your new target and adapt it accordingly. Most people can’t consistently write 1667 words per day like you do in NaNoWriMo, so we want to avoid that and aim somewhere more reasonable. If you feel like it’s too much to do in such a short time frame, either give yourself less to do or more time to do it in. If you find yourself begrudgingly writing so often that it constantly feels more like a chore than something fun, maybe consider adapting things. And if you think that you gave yourself too much wiggle room and you could do more than this consistently, give yourself more of a challenge. Everything needs to suit you and your pace and needs

5. Run your own race. Don’t feel like you’re not accomplishing enough in comparison to others or not working fast enough to satisfy some arbitrary feeling of doubt. Everybody works at their own pace and slower work doesn’t mean worse work. You could be on one word per day and you’ll still see consistent results, which is still one word per day more than you could originally count on. All progress is progress, regardless of its speed

[...] But the students at the heart of the movement say the reason they began their demonstrations – the pressing need to end Israel’s deadly bombardment of Gaza – risks being lost amid a cacophony of voices and distractions.

“Gaza is why we’re here. Gaza is why we’re doing this,” said Rue, a student at The New School in New York City who asked to only be identified by her first name due to a fear of reprisals. [...]

“As students who are being taught in class about colonialism, about Indigenous rights, about the effect of non-violent protest across history, it would be extremely hypocritical — or it would totally undermine the point of our education — if we didn’t act,” the 25-year-old said.

“At the very least we can show that there was resistance” to what is happening in the Gaza Strip, the student added.

“The horrors in Gaza are really beyond imagining. These small acts of resistance, these are small sacrifices — [they] are nothing compared to what is happening on the ground in Palestine.” [...]

Villain Investment Pitches 

Imagine that there is a tv show for aspiring super villains where they get to go in front a panel of judges (maybe a panel of some of the most notorious criminal masterminds?) and pitch their evil inventions and villainous schemes. The judges hear the ideas and then decide which evil plan or invention they will fund. 

You can either tell a story about this scenario or pitch an evil invention or plan from the perspective of one of these aspiring villains.
