Crafting Compelling Morally Gray Characters: A Guide for Fiction Writers

In literature, there is often a clear distinction between good and evil. Heroes are portrayed as virtuous and villains as wicked. However, in recent years, there has been a rise in the popularity of morally gray characters - those who do not fit neatly into the categories of good or evil. These characters are complex, flawed, and often make decisions that challenge the reader's moral compass. In this guide, I'll help you explore the art of crafting compelling morally gray characters and how to make them stand out in your fiction writing.

What Are Morally Gray Characters?

Morally gray characters, also known as morally ambiguous characters, are those who do not conform to traditional notions of good or evil. They may have both positive and negative traits, and their actions may be motivated by a mix of good and bad intentions. These characters often blur the lines between right and wrong, making them more relatable and intriguing to readers.

Examples of Morally Gray Characters

Some well-known examples of morally gray characters include:

Severus Snape from the Harry Potter series: Initially portrayed as a villain, Snape's true motivations and actions are revealed to be more complex and morally ambiguous.

Jaime Lannister from A Song of Ice and Fire series: Known for his arrogance and incestuous relationship with his sister, Jaime's character evolves throughout the series, showcasing his internal struggle between his duty and his personal desires.

Walter White from Breaking Bad: A high school chemistry teacher turned methamphetamine producer, Walter's character is constantly torn between his desire for power and his moral compass.

Why Are Morally Gray Characters Compelling?

Morally gray characters are compelling because they challenge the reader's perceptions of right and wrong. They are not easily categorized as heroes or villains, making them more relatable and human. These characters also add depth and complexity to a story, making it more interesting and thought-provoking.

The Power of Relatability

One of the main reasons morally gray characters are so compelling is because they are relatable. They are not perfect, and they make mistakes, just like real people. This makes them more human and allows readers to connect with them on a deeper level. When readers can see themselves in a character, it creates a stronger emotional connection to the story.

The Element of Surprise

Morally gray characters also add an element of surprise to a story. Their actions and decisions may not always align with what the reader expects, keeping them on the edge of their seat. This unpredictability makes the story more engaging and can lead to unexpected plot twists.

The Exploration of Morality

Morally gray characters also allow for a deeper exploration of morality in a story. By challenging traditional notions of good and evil, these characters force readers to question their own moral compass and consider the gray areas of morality. This can lead to thought-provoking discussions and a deeper understanding of complex moral issues.

How to Craft Morally Gray Characters

Crafting morally gray characters requires a delicate balance of positive and negative traits, as well as a deep understanding of their motivations and internal struggles. Here are some tips for creating compelling morally gray characters in your writing.

Give Them a Strong Motivation

Every character, regardless of their moral alignment, should have a strong motivation for their actions. For morally gray characters, this motivation should be complex and not easily defined as purely good or evil. It could be a desire for power, revenge, or even a sense of duty. This motivation will drive their decisions and actions throughout the story.

Show Their Flaws and Vulnerabilities

Morally gray characters are not perfect, and they should not be portrayed as such. They should have flaws and vulnerabilities that make them more relatable and human. These flaws could be physical, emotional, or moral, and they should play a role in the character's development and decisions.

Create Internal Conflict

One of the defining characteristics of morally gray characters is their internal conflict. They are torn between their good and bad tendencies, and this struggle should be evident in their thoughts and actions. This internal conflict adds depth to the character and makes them more relatable to readers.

Avoid Stereotypes

When crafting morally gray characters, it's important to avoid falling into stereotypes. These characters should not be one-dimensional or defined solely by their moral ambiguity. They should have unique personalities, backgrounds, and motivations that make them stand out as individuals.

Show Their Growth and Development

As with any well-written character, morally gray characters should experience growth and development throughout the story. They should learn from their mistakes and make decisions that challenge their moral compass. This growth and development will make them more dynamic and interesting to readers.

How to Make Morally Gray Characters Stand Out

With the rise in popularity of morally gray characters, it's important to make yours stand out in a sea of similar characters. Here are some tips for making your morally gray characters unique and memorable.

Give Them a Distinctive Voice

A character's voice is an essential part of their identity. It should be unique and reflective of their personality and motivations. For morally gray characters, their voice should reflect their internal conflict and the complexity of their moral alignment.

Create a Strong Backstory

A character's backstory can provide valuable insight into their motivations and actions. For morally gray characters, a strong backstory can help explain their moral ambiguity and add depth to their character. It can also create empathy and understanding for their decisions.

Use Foils to Highlight Their Morality

Foils are characters who contrast with the main character, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. For morally gray characters, foils can be used to showcase their moral ambiguity and challenge their beliefs. This can add depth to the character and create interesting dynamics between them and other characters.

Morally gray characters add depth, complexity, and relatability to a story. By challenging traditional notions of good and evil, these characters force readers to question their own moral compass and consider the gray areas of morality.

OK HEAR ME OUT. HEAR. ME. OUT.

AU where Steph and Jason joined forces to beat the shit outta Tim on titans tower:

Steph was also dead (according to a retcom that I heavily dislike she was always alive, but still) and returned to comics roughly two years after Jason, so since comics timelines are disproportionate from IRL time we technically could mashup those two “back from the grave” events on around the same time and have a situation where Jason hears from Talia that after Tim Drake there was another Robin that died and he is intrigued. He does a little digging and finds out that Stephanie is in fact alive and hiding. In this AU Steph may either have actually died and been somehow ressurected, been in a coma for a while or just have had her death faked by Leslie without her consent, regardless, Jason finds Stephanie who is also mad to learn she was forgotten by the people she thought had brought her in and after hearing that her predecessor’s plans include ruining Black Mask’s empire, forcing Bruce to confront his code and beating the shit out of Tim she is all in.

i can fully understand the gripes with certain misogynistic tropes/writing issues that are present in the execution of some of cersei’s writing, but i will never understand the “she should have a redemption arc” or “she should be more likeable/less morally dark” perspective. that is not what her character is or has to be to make it great. wanting more female anti-heroes or “redemption arcs” with moral greyness and complexity of the level that asoiaf gives to primarily male characters is entirely understandable, but do some of you people even like cersei as a character, like at its core? like this is not about criticising the execution of certain things when it comes to this character, this is about taking issue with her as a villain fundamentally, which i just do not agree with at all

#i also do not understand why she is juxtaposed only w her brothers #in this respect #like if u wanna take issue w not as many female anti heroes that r allowed the level of true moral greyness of j theon etc i get that #but thats a whole text problem like a family isnt a monolith they r different characters with different drives its not a competition between #them #all three r dealing w some very very diff things too like they r distinct characters #and i honestly dont think cersei’s character set up works with a redemption story like she specifically is way more interesting as she is #she is a discussion of tropes when it comes the ‘female villain’ and u can take issue w the execution but i like the concept a lot #like she is written the way she is for a reason why do u want her to be a different character entirely #like if u want this why not advocate for george making a female character whose story would actually work with the redemption trope instead #of making their writing weaker and less trope busting #ig i just really like with cersei the idea that her being an evil perpetrator doesnt erase her being a victim of misogyny and vice versa #like i like that challenge that she is deserving of sympathy for these things without the need to redeem her or make her ‘likeable’#patriarchal violence will affect all women #and the story deserves to work just as well with someone u r not supposed to root for #its about the humanization of these people #evil doesnt exist in a vacuum #and it makes perfect sense that these specific systemic conditions create it #and then perpetuate it

Character Discussion: Who is Miss Heed?

Whaddup, my fellow hounds! Welcome back to my blog! Today, I'll be doing my first character discussion about Miss Heed from Cartoon Network's Villainous.

As a heroine, or...anti-heroine, she has the ability to charm her victims in a love trance through evaporating and altering any liquid as perfume. In fact, she tried to use a stronger one to hypnotize the world. Sounds like an intimidating foe, right? Yet, is she really what she seems? First, let's take a look at her history.

Character Commentary

(Screenshot of episode 6)

As far as I know, Miss Heed was a graduate student at Black Hat's academy and a close friend of Dr. Flug. Ironically, she became a superheroine while allying with Goldheart. Unfortuntely, for some unknown reason, she left him (or maybe the other way around).

Flash forward into the series...

A villain calls the Black Hat Organization to capture Miss Heed; Dr. Flug, Demencia, & 5.0.5 landed on her city which was protected by heroes and villains; Flug was under Heed's control while Demencia & 5.0.5 got attacked by the mind control people; Flug goes with Miss Heed; and yadda, yadda, yadda--

SPOILER ALERT!!! Miss Heed used Flug to create her strong, hypnotic perfume, spreading across the world so Goldheart can love her again. However, plans had changes when she was decieved into kissing Flug, unaware Demencia had the camera bot on live. In end, the egolastical heorine is now hated by the public and was sent into a maximum security prison.

Thoughts/Opinions

Here's one:

What kind of superhero would hypnotized their enemies and other heroes only to "gain" popularity?! There's no honor in that!

A true hero is supposed to do something in order to truly receive honor from people. For example, there's a meteor approaching at a nearby city. Now, when a hero witness this, they don't simply send someone powerless. No, the hero should fix the problem fast. And if they have a sidekick, the hero should allow the sidekick to calm the citizens down while the hero would somehow remove the meteor from its presence.

Critically speaking, if Miss Heed were a "superheroine", she would've at least use her powers for good instead of her selfish desires. She wouldn't have to go to jail!!!

Plus, she wouldn't feel defenseless over losing her followers. If it ever happens towards a hero, they'll have to redeem their honor.

Of course, she was a former student of Black Hat's academy, so like they always say, "Once a villain, always a villain." Besides, should we even consider Miss Heed a "hero"?

She would've also been an effective antagonist if her victim's love trance wasn't short-termed and wasn't deceived by Flug through her own narcissism.

In short, Miss Heed may be a pretty face towards everyone, but she lacks so much potential as a true hero.

What Do You Think?

Don't Let Me Down ♔♕

Warnings: Language, Betrayal, Enemies To Lovers, Eventual Smut, Past Trauma, Angst, Toxic Relationships, Mature Content.

F-Heroine and M-Supervillain

Part 2.

❛ ━━━━━━･❪ ❁ ❫ ･━━━━━━ ❜

"You can't do this."

"I just did." Superhero ignores her and continues walking down the long white corridor. His eyes were sharp and unemotional, he held a file in his hands as he walked forward.

Hero swallows hard and scrambles after him, panic clear on her face. She walks next to him. "It's irrational and stupid. You cannot be serious," she says in disbelief. She wore a short dress with some heeled boots, she never said no heels. Especially heeled boots. "You cannot comply with them,"

"Fuck, Hero." Superhero pauses, turning to her with a humorous laugh escaping him. "You think I wanna listen to them? You think I wanna do what they want us to do? I'd rather cheat on my wife," he scowls.

Hero frowns but slowly nods. "They want us to surrender or else they'll leak the information of every superhero out. Maybe we could take it back?" She says, biting her bottom lip in thought.

Superhero sighs. "I thought of that. But we have no idea where it is, I sent a few scouts out along with some agents. They couldn't find it," he grunts and pulls the door to a room open.

Hero trails after him, looking around the room and finding out it was one of the case file rooms. This was where almost every case was recorded, and then sent to storage for safe keeping.

Superhero looks through the file with concerned eyes, like he was thinking of something. He snaps it close, causing Hero to jump slightly, he slides the file on a shelf before turning to her. "Look Hero, I know you and the others want to stop this but we don't have a option. If the information gets out than everything is done for,"

Hero swallows, fiddling with her fingers.

"There are many more criminals out there, many more out of this city. There are many villains around the world. And if they find out who the heroes are, they'll all die. They'll be murdered and killed after their identities and family backgrounds are found out. And unless we surrender, we cannot be sure." He says sternly.

"But what if we-" Hero starts.

"No, Hero." Superhero cuts her off firmly. "We cannot be sure anymore, and until me and the other leaders agree on something or come up with something, no one is going on a plan of action. Understand?"

Hero suppressed the urge to argue, she nods obediently.

Superhero nods. "Good. Thank you, Hero. I know I can count on you," he gives her a smile before it drops and he walks out, frustrated.

Hero watches him go, she swallows hard and huffs. She decides to just go home to her significant other, Other Hero was probably worried about her. He's always been protective.

It was best not to get him angry.

...

"There are you." Other Hero said walking out of their room, an annoyed look on his face. He narrowes his eyes. "Where were you?"

"Sorry." Hero apologies, taking her coat off. "I was talking to Superhero. He wasn't in a good mood. Considering....."

Other Hero nods, letting out a sigh. "Yeah, I heard about that. The Leaders are coming up with a deal of some sort,"

"What do you mean?" Hero asks, moving closer. She wraps her arms around his waist since Other Hero had said he didn't like it when someone grabbed his neck or face.

Other Hero rolls his eyes, his hands going to Hero's rear causing her sqeak slightly, a blush coating her cheeks. "Apparently, they're thinking of trading something important for the hard drive. Something that could help both sides,"

"And what could that be?" Hero hums, thinking everything over. The hero organization didn't have much, the only key factor would be the way they handled their cases and the way each hero or superhero had a power. Some were similar while others were different.

Many heroes had the same gifts and powers.

Hero was probably the only one with her gift. She was an empath, almost, she could sense feelings and emotions. She could cause internal and external pain, inside or outside.

Her biggest gift of her power would be controlling a person, but she hadn't learned that yet since it was to dangerous. And even when she tried, she could only control one person and only for a few minutes.

Other Hero shrugs. "Beats me. As long as we win," he states before pulling Hero closer. "Now, I have been waiting all day to have you. Are you make me wait longer?" He smirks.

Hero giggles.

It wasn't her real laugh, her real laugh was like a cackle, a evil laugh that really sounded unlady like with snorts. Other Hero didn't like her laugh so she pretended to giggle for his sake.

He pulls her into a needy kiss.

Hero feels that same uncomfortable feeling she has been feeling for the past few months but ignores it, pushing it away as worry for the future. She kisses back slowly.

She didn't really feel anything with the kiss, and she didn't think she needed too. That was all in stories and movies, all the touch she felt was external, physical.

She may have sensed emotions but the one thing she didn't feel was her own emotions. Perhaps a curse to her own power.

She ignored the warning bells in her ears and continued to kiss her lover, the two moving over to the coach.

____

"HERO, HERO, HERO!"

She yelps when a person collides with her, Hero gasps and looks to see Sidekick, an excited but also a panicked look on his face.

"Sidekick? What's wrong?" She questions, moving over to sit where her cubicle was. A bunch of files along with many sticky notes were littered all over desk and computer, but she sat down and put down her bag.

Sidekick looks around the room, glancing at all the agents and heroes milling about. Unlike other days where all of them would be talking boisterously and laughing aloud, it was quiet with hushed whispers and small conversations.

No doubt that everyone was worried about the information the villains had and would use for their own gain. Even the elders hadn't decided what to do, there was no action and no nothing. Which was getting frustrating since many heroes were getting tired.

"What's wrong?" Hero asks, raising an eyebrow.

Sidekick shifts uncomfortably, he looks around at all the agents in the room. He didn't know whether to say this out in the open or to say it to Hero quietly in private. "I uh, I need to tell you something. Privately." He nods over to the break area.

Hero frowns but follows after him, the two stand near the coffee pot. "What's wrong?" She repeats, confused.

Sidekick looks around suspiciously, leaning in towards his boss. "I heard the Elders discussing a peace treaty of some sort, a deal with the villains." He whispers.

Hero blinks, her naturally pink lips parting. "...what?" She breathes out in shock. "Wh-what happened? What's gonna happen?" She asks eagerly.

Sidekick yelps when Hero leans in closer, her eyes flashing. He swallows hard, answering meekly.

"Well, the heroes are debating on giving the villains something worthwhile, like something really rare. An exchange for the hard drive, they're gonna give the villains something important they can use."

"And what is that?" Hero asks, raising her eyebrows. "What is that something?"

"I have no idea." Sidekick shrugs unhelpfully.

Hero deflates. "Dang it. Would have been awesome if you would found that out too," she huffs.

Sidekick shrugs sheepishly. "Yeah, well, all I know is that they're still debating what to give to the villains. As far as I know, we have nothing special." He shrugs.

Hero sighs. "You could say that again. But what are they even debating? All we have are some super powered humans, and our insanely good fighting skills."

Sidekick shrugs. "Hey, beats me. As long as they don't hand me to the villains," he then grabs a mug before pouring himself some coffee.

Hero furrows her eyebrows. "And why would they give you?" She says, looking over at him with some confusion.

"Well, Sidekick 2 had a theory that the agency might trade a superhero for the hard drive." He shrugs. "It would be trading someone powerful for something else."

"That's crazy." Hero shakes her head. "Why would they do that?"

"Hey, it's a theory." Sidekick rolls his eyes. "Why would they give a living person for a stupid hard drive?"

"You do know they could release the info they have on all heroes, right?" Hero says, giving him a stern look. "That could do a lot of damage."

Sidekick huffs, taking a sip of his coffee. "Yeah, yeah, all of you keep thinking about that but I'm wondering how they got the information."

Hero pauses, turning to look at him with wide eyes. A few people walk by, talking in whispers. However, she doesn't pay them any mind, turning all her attention to her sidekick.

"I mean," Sidekick hums. "How do you think they collected all the information about the heroes? How did they even gather all of it?"

Hero looks at him with a frown.

"Sure, they could have snuck in or hacked our database but how could have they have got all that information?" Sidekick continues with a shrug. "This place is heavily guarded."

"Sidekick...." Hero starts, getting an inquiry.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, but do you ever stop to think how they could have gotten all that info?"

"Sidekick!" Hero snaps.

"Agh!" He yelps, turning to her. "What?" He says, looking startled.

"You may be onto something." Hero starts, a smile growing on her face. "But we're gonna need to confirm a few things." She nods slowly, an idea forming in her head. Or a possibility.

Sidekick frowns. "What?"

Hero smirks.

Sidekick blinks.

......

"Alright," Civilian cracks her knuckles before she starts typing on her laptop crazy fast. She was sat on her sofa with Hero and Sidekick on either side.

In her apartment.

"You sure this is gonna work?" Hero asks, glancing between the laptop and the girl skeptically.

"Obviously," Civilian snorts. "I'm the best hacker ever, I once hacked into the pentagon." She smirks.

"Wow...." Sidekick blinks. "That was you?" He asks, staring at her in awe.

Civilian giggles. "Yeah, um, it was just a bit of hacking." She blushes.

Hero scrunchs her nose up. "Alright, the two of you can flirt after. Come on, Civilian." She says causing the two to blush. "Do your thing."

"Alright." Civilian mutters, she looks at her laptop as equations and numbers of all kinds come on. After a few minute, she furrows her eyebrows in confusion. "That's odd." She mutters, clicking a few buttons.

"What?" Hero moves closer to take a look at the screen.

Sidekick looks around the apartment. It looked cozy enough, it had 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a small kitchen. The wall was a maroon color, matching the same coach that Civilian was sat on.

Many decorative pieces like small statues and flowers were put around, with many scientific and technical things around.

Civilian was known to be a Nerd and bit of a tech wiz. But she never joined the hero organization for unknown reasons.

"Well, according to this, the database for the hero organization was never hacked. Even I can't get through it." Civilian frowns.

"That's because they change their passwords every week." Sidekick informed, crossing his arms. "Thay change the password to log in everyday."

"Yeah." Hero mutters. "That is a lot of passwords."

"Well, the world has about a billion combinations, so that's that." Civilian nods, looking back at the screen. "But it was never hacked, from what I can tell." She shrugs. "They're security is pretty tight."

Sidekick sighs, running a hand through his hair agitatedly.

"Wait a minute..." Hero trails off, walking away from them slightly, she turns to them.

"What?" Civilian says, raising an eyebrow.

"If the database was never hacked, how do you think the villains got the info? Who has the power and access?"

Sidekick hesitates. "Hero...are you saying-" He starts.

"There's might be a mole in the agency." Hero states. "And it has to be one of the higher ups, no one else has that much power to hand all the background information for all heroes and sidekicks." She explains. "This is like, all heroes and sidekicks, and superheroes and vigilantes information."

Civilian slowly nods, shifting in her seat. "That's...possible. But who would do such a thing? Who would it be? How would they get in?"

Sidekick nods. "Yeah, she's right. How would they get in? And even if there is a mole, who could it be?" He mutters, looking away.

Hero shrugs. "I have no idea. But we have to be careful, and we have to find out who it is."

"How are we supposed to do that?" Sidekick asks.

Hero let's out a breath. "I don't know...yet. But we have to be extra careful, especially with the elders. One of them could be the mole,"

Both Civilian and Sidekick nod.

Hero sighs and glances at the clock. She bites her bottom lip when she notices the time, she was supposed to meet Other Hero. She quickly bids her farewell, leaving the other two who looked happy to be alone.

Hero rushes to the park, not getting a chance to enjoy the beautiful day. She arrives at the park where the two lovers were supposed to meet up, she sighs as she stares at Other Hero, who was pacing. He has never been a patient one.

He turns to look at her when he hears her walking towards him. He frowns. "I've been here for almost an hour, Hero. Where have you been?" He hissed quietly.

Hero swallows hard, knowing he meant well. He's always had an issue with anger, but they've talked about it and Other Hero explained how he never meant it and that he was just protective of her.

Understandable. The two were heroes, they were bound to get hurt on the job.

"I'm sorry." Hero says sheepishly. "I was with Sidekick."

Other Heri smiles tightly. "Really? And what pray tell, were you two doing?" He questions, crossing his arms.

Hero sighs, knowing he was a bit possessive or something. "He found out that the leaders are planing to make a deal with the villains or something." She shrugs nonchalantly, but on the inside her heart was hammering.

Was it normal to fear your significant other.

Other Hero stares at her, processing her words. He raises an eyebrow. "....that's slightly assuring." He mutters. "What else has he found out?"

Hero isn't sure whether to tell him or not. But she scolds herself for second guessing, this is Other Hero, why couldn't she trust him. "Not much. I don't think we'll find out until they make a decision." She shrugs.

Other Hero nods, a frown growing on his face.

Hero smiles. "Yeah. Now, are we here to have fun or talk about work? I'm really hungry." She sighs, remembering how she didn't have breakfast.

Other Hero nods but gives hero a look. "Sorry, Hero but I left my wallet at home. Uh, can you pay?" He asks as the two start walking towards a hot dog stand.

Hero falters but she nods. "Oh, uh, sure. It's alright," she says. This wasn't the first time that she had paid, Other Hero forgot his wallet all the time. It was no biggie. She wasn't that poor.

Heroes got paid based on their popularity, how many villains they caught or killed, how powerful they were and how much the people loved them. And if you were really popular, you even for benefits such as the agency paying all your hospital bills, getting a car or apartment or even a house or mansion.

The downside was that at any given moment, the agency has the power to freeze all your bank accounts or take away your things. But only if you were suspected as a villain or betrayed the organization and broke your oath.

Fortunately, Hero was popular and one of a kind. So they got paid atleast a thousand or something a month. But she mostly tended to save her money and keep it in a safe place instead of a bank account. She needed to be careful.

Hero glanced at Other Hero, he was texting someone on the phone.

"Everything okay?" She asks, holding her hotdogs. She only got ketchup on, nothing else. Usually, she would get everything but Other Hero has commented on how much extra weight she had put on, so she had decided to eat less.

Even though she got hungry.

"Yeah, awesome." Other Hero gave her a grin, his phone still in his hand and the hotdog in the other. "What do you think the elders will decide?"

Hero hums, looking away. "I don't know. If word gets out about the heroes identities, everyone will be in danger. All their families and love ones, they'll be in danger. And the villains will all win," she sighs. "They could probably take over the world with all that."

"Yeah," Other Hero nods with a hum. "Supervillain would, most likely."

Hero flinches, hearing the familiar name of the world's most wanted criminal. The number one wanted man on their list, the most calculated and deadliest man alive.

Supervillain.

He was known worldwide, being the son of Mastermind himself. He was known to be a ruthless killer, killing and torturing his victims slowly. And when he didn't, he burned them. No one could ever catch him, and no one ever did.

Because half the world was scared of him while the other half was in his payroll. No one could ever get close to him, because if they did, they would mysteriously die.

Even the hero organization couldn't catch him, which was quite amazing since they have caught even the biggest baddest criminals in the world.

Hero breathes out shakily, feeling her stomach twist uncomfortably.

Other Hero glances at her before rolling his eyes. "Don't get scared by that mere stupid name. He's got nothing on us, it's just plain stupid." He scoffs.

Hero nods, however her heart didn't agree.

Especially with what Sidekick had said. Could the agency really trade one of their own for a hard drive? Sure, it was really important but would they really do that?

They wouldn't.

Could they? The hero agency was a organized for heroes, to save people and help people. To capture villains and criminals, to put an end to evil doing. And even if the elders did so, what could they give them?

All the heroes were just average people with inhumane abilities and awesome, advanced fighting skills. How could they be the use to the villains?

I am part of the Yuki Defense Squad.

She is an incredibly flawed character that made a lot of mistakes. BUT she didn't hold a spirit gun to Geto's head and demanded that he kill everybody in the village that abused two children. Remember, she herself said that killing all non-sorcerers is crazy! So, she didn't MaNipuLaTe or CorRUptEd Geto into becoming evil. Who the fuck started that garbage take?! It's as bad as Gojo has a God Complex one!

Now while I am at it.

I am part of Respect Geto's Horrible Life Choices Squad.

Tired and disillusioned by the shitty sorcerer lifestyle, Geto CHOSE to be a curse user OF HIS OWN VOLITION.

He saw two paths in life and agonized about it for more than a year before ultimately making a decision: make a better world for everybody like him aka sorcerers, fuck everyone else.

A lot of things went wrong and contributed to Geto's fall, but ultimately, he found his own version of enlightenment all alone. Nobody forced him. That should never be ignored or forgotten in the story.

#tsukumo yuki #suguru geto #yuki isn't my fave female character in jjk #but she is fascinating because her strength as a character is also her fatal flaw #she fucked up here and there in the story but geto ultimately choosing genocide as a final solution to the curse problem isn't one of them #suguru geto is a great anti-villain and i dislike how people forget the “villain” part of his character #i'd get it if it was during the (pre)star plasma vessel mission AND pre-mass killing because he IS a hero there #but post-mass killing and post-parricide?! no that's anti-villain territory already for geto

ALYSON BAUER

Alyson is the main female character of the YA/NA romance/drama series, The One Series. She's a mean girl, a cheerleader, a blonde, and she's popular. She's everything that you should hate with every fiber of your being. But she's not the villain. She's the antihero. She's not even a real blonde!

She's the founder and leader of the early 2000s' pop vocal act, UTurn. Lead female singer. Lead songwriter and music producer. The center and the visual.

Sure, she has villain-like qualities, but she goes out of her way to protect her friends from their shady managers. She's the Alpha of this series, a role that should've been given to a man, but it's given to a woman instead. No matter what's thrown at her, Alyson will burn everything to the ground if it means she and her friends will have rights to their own band.

Get The One Series now on Amazon today. Available in both Kindle Unlimited and paperback.

So like, I’ve been meaning to hop onto my computer, where I’m logged on to AO3, so I can comment on a bunch of your fics. Particularly your original one. But I keep forgetting to, so I’ll just do it here 😊

I adored your original fic. Power imbalances (especial evil or drastic ones) are my absolute guilty pleasure. Plus your smut was top quality!!

thank you so much 🥹 !! I’m so glad people like my stories… I think my very, very favorite trope is the dark villain who isn’t actually… and I’m still wringing the shit out of that one hard, in every story I’ve written since, I think, lol. The big scary guy, the anti-villain who does bad things for a good cause, and then he cuddles the shit out of you (and fucks you) that gets me going non-stop. And I’m so glad you enjoy my smut too because I don’t know wtf I’m doing there, just writing what I like, or what I’m feeling at the time I guess 😬 (and trying to make it not suck). thanks a lot for the comment!

Gods and Villains is a superhero/horror story set in a dystopian future where Earth is filled to the brim with crime and corruption—a.k.a MCU meets The Boys.

Warning! injury to major characters, gore, body horror, trauma and PTSD, amnesia, death, and sexual content. Rated +18. More specific content warnings will be provided at the start of each chapter.

You take control of a powerful metahuman, an otherwise ordinary human on the outside but who has the meta-gene, a potent mutation deep engraved in their DNA, which gives them superhuman abilities. This next step in human evolution comes with a setback, however, for the curse of madness seems to follow their every step. It lurks in the shadows, patiently waiting for the opportunity to strike—many metahumans fall prey to its alluring promises.

With a dark and traumatic past filled with untold horrors and inhuman experiments, you are rescued from the clutches of crazy terrorists by a team of heroes that might lend you all the tools you need for redemption or complete self-annihilation.

As the only metahuman with the ability to wield the powerful Chaos Magic, your very blood holds the answers to unlocking the secrets behind the control of time and space, but it has the drawback of being almost completely volatile.

Who can you trust to keep you safe other than yourself? Trust no one, and maybe you can get out of this literal hell alive.

Play as male, female, or non-gender specific, along with transgender choices;

Romance one of seven characters, and if your heart is big enough fall in love with two of them. There's three possible poly routes available: Archon and Stardom, Archon and Mars, Paladin and Wildcat;

Customize your appearance, personality and powers;

Struggle against the shackles of madness trying to take hold of your psyche;

Battle a multitude of villains or become one yourself;

Uncover the secrets behind the meta-gene and your abilities;

Help the public fall in love with superheroes or forever destroy that chance;

In total there are seven romance options, each with their own personality, and dark secrets for you to uncover. You can read more about them below:

The villain, or anti-hero, whatever you want to call them, Mars is an enigmatic figure; the very concept of life seems to hold no value to them. A trail of bodies follows wherever they go, and on the news, they are regarded as the biggest menace of the century. They will have the unique ability to sway your loyalty. Beware, their sweet words and promises may drip with honey, but they also drip with the blood of their victims.

Trope: Forbidden love, emotional scars, blood-play

Zev/Zena Hammer

The oldest of the bunch and not a metahuman per se. Hammer acts as the spokesperson for the team, mitigating the often tenuous relationship between humans and the so-called "mutants". As a retired police detective they've learned firsthand how rotten the world can be for the innocent, and they've vowed to protect them at any cost. Their analytical and communication skills will go hand in hand when dealing with various crimes, just as their implants.

Trope: Widow/widower, age gap, don't-call-me-daddy/mommy

Adam/Ada Armstrong

The current leader of the Alliance Team. Headstrong and dauntless, they are regarded as the strongest metahuman in modern times and the most enigmatic of them all, whose past is shrouded in mystery and unknown even to their closest friends. On the outside, they might seem apathetic and unconcerned with human suffering, but their true feelings are hidden beneath layers of deep trauma. Superhuman strength and invulnerability are their greatest assets when fighting villains.

Trope: Nobody thinks it will work, love/hate, fucking-your-boss

Edward/Evelyn Osborne

The former leader of the Alliance Team and Archon's best friend. On the surface, they are the stereotypical showboat: cocky, greedy, and egoistical. Stardom does whatever they can to gain attention, fame, and riches. For them, the best feeling in the world is an adoring fan and a beautiful person fawning over their heroics. The meta-gene gives them a genius-level intellect, which in turn is used to develop several pieces of equipment that are employed by themselves and the team during fights.

Trope: Billionaire, belated love epiphany, good-people-have-good-sex

Johnny/Johnnie

If Archon's past is shrouded in mystery, Paladin's is drowned in it. For all you know, their name is not even Johnny/Johnnie but an alias of their choosing. They are known to be the silent loner type and are somewhat socially withdrawn from other members of the team, only speaking when called upon to do so. Behind their silver mask, they harbor more than a few inner demons, and together with their superhuman weapon and combat proficiency, they fight for the innocent.

Trope: Secret identity, oblivious to love, weapon-fetishization

Pedro/Pilar Flores

The youngest of the team, considered by many a lighthearted jokester without any real talent beyond their obvious powers—which set them apart from every human that walks the earth. With their metahuman status so evident for everyone to see, hiding just didn't seem like an option, so they chose the next best alternative. Known to be playful, energetic, and often immature, they are responsible for balancing the team's more serious side, and when someone can take the form of any living being on Earth, the repertoire of pranks is endless.

Trope: Beauty and the Beast, broken in some way, begging

Doctor Malik/Malika Aziz

The renowned Doctor Aziz, a famed archaeologist and considered to be the most powerful sorcerer, or magic user, in the world. They wear several enchanted artifacts that, in turn, accentuate their already tremendous knowledge of the mystical forces. With an extremely strong moral compass and kind demeanor, they will show themselves to be the best teacher you could ask for, but why do they seem to be everywhere you look?

Trope: Time travel, twin siblings or clones?, teacher-student

If you do soft Yandere's i would like to request a soft Yandere Shigaraki/Tomura one shot thank you!

Soft yandere shigaraki x fem reader oneshot

A/N: this was gonna be next door neighbor with reader and tomura but it wouldn't make sense also idk if you wanted smut so I'm doing both sfw & nsfw x3 sorry if this took a while, it was sitting in my inbox for a while but I hope you enjoy this😊💕 DNI: minors & antis stay away from my blog, it's 18+ content!! ( I guess this is a small story kinda idk tbh. )

(The reader used she/her and have female genitalia in the NSFW.)

* Also shigaraki has a small dong in this one so if you don't want to read this one there are other fanfics where he has a big dick so let's have a body positivity to anyone who has small 🍆

Word count: 2,512

Safe for work:

Shigaraki being a villain can be tough but finding love was even tougher.

He's always felt insecure that no one will ever love a person like him, he lost that hope a few years ago, master always told him that finding love was pointless and it'll distracts his main goal to defeat hero society and become a king.

For the first time he doesn't know what he feels when you first come into his life. It's hard to explain this, shigaraki saw you at the arcade. You were the most bubbly loud energy and full of light.

Shigaraki was casually walking at the mall but hearing your sweet laughter as he looks towards the arcade, his eyes landing on you.

You were gorgeous, the curve of your body and adorable outfit does suit you and your bubbly personality.

When he's heading back to the bar, his mind is spinning and he gets frustrated by this.

He's complaining about this to kurogiri and he calmly explains to shigaraki that must be feeling love. Tomura paused for a second as he narrowed his eyes at him, it can't be love. He does feel some feelings towards you and he is immediately interested towards you.

But it's not love there is no way, master even told him love was pointless.

As shigaraki grabs his drinks looking at the glass and liquid inside, his group walk in from a hard mission as shigaraki too busy lost in thoughts, toga skip past him only to stop and smell him, it's was a long smell as he growls at her.

" piss off crazy!! Can't you see I'm busy. " she tilt her head as she sigh dreamy as she's sitting next to him.

" I know that smell anywhere, tomura-kun is in love~!! Who is your crush~ " toga coo at him, making everyone look at him and he starts to blush as he immediately gets up.

"none of your business!! Shut up and leave me alone. " but she was right after all, she can smell it off of him like as if she was a bloodhound, she knew that feeling.

Tomura keeps going to that same arcade to see if you're here, he likes going there sometime but now these days he only in it and looking for you.

He saw you at your usual spot playing a racing game or getting stuff animals from the crawl machine.

Shigaraki wants to impress you so when you were having a difficult time getting this one stuffed animals that you really wanted, tomura doesn't think much as he walk towards you and lightly push you to the side at first you were gonna get pissed at him for doing that but you watch him with his skills like talent. You never seen this man and the way he held the controls as he planned it and somehow gets that stuffed animal for you.

The item comes down as tomura carefully gets it out and gives it towards you, you start to flustered as you smile softly.

" thank you so much~ " you bite your lips softly as you look into his red eyes.

" what's your name?? I'm Y/N it's nice to meet you~! " tomura was weak in the knee, he wanted to hear your voice every day. He started to feel shy as he lightly scratched his neck. " it's... shi- " he pauses for a moment, he doesn't want her or anyone to know that he's a villain and he doesn't want to cause a scene by this.

He frozen with his words as he coughs a bit." Sorry about that-... it's uhhh.. " he thinks of anything. " it's... tenko.. tenko shimura. " at least it's less recognizable than shigaraki since the news is talking about his group more.

She tilts her head as she smiles at him." Tenko? Such a pretty name!! " you hop up and down excited making tomura nervous a bit.

Everything is going great with the two of you.

Not safe for work:

The days went on, his lust fill mind got stronger. Once you become his friend, he wants nothing more than to stick his cock inside of you but there is a small problem. He's very embarrassed by the size of his penis, he knows he's very insecure about himself but his size isn't the biggest like in porn videos that he would watch. Shigaraki hates how his masters tell him love is time wasting but he has his needs and he needs to break the rules whenever his crew talks about sex, he was curious what it is about.

His size when it's erect is about four inches, his hand covers his cock whole as he sighs sadly. He knows you'll never be satisfied with it.

He started to do some research on how to satisfy a woman and bring a woman to orgasm. This is ridiculous he thought, he should be making a move on you and not do this but he wants too, he wants satisfied you with everything and want you to himself.

He wants you to be his and nothing else. Shigaraki hope you don't care about size, he hope you have more time with him.

you are at the arcade, you see tenko in his same outfit as usual, your eyes brighten up as you bounce over to him, you give him a quick hug. Tenko freezes up but he nervously pulls you close, he gets used to you and your affection.

" heyyy.... Y/n I need to ask you something. " you tilt your head as you smile at him.

" of course tenten~! Tell me anything!! " your cute nickname to him makes his knees melt in seconds. He started to scratch his neck feeling nervous at the outcome of your reaction, he knew that he could not wait any longer as he pulled you back into his arms.

" will you be my girlfriend y/n!! " it was a bit fast and semi loud but you hear him loud and clear, you look up at him as you smile softly. You reach with your tippy toes as you give him a sweet kiss. He blink a few times fast as he begins to blush deep red.

"of course~!! " you smile warmly at him, he begins to give kisses back to you feeling like he completed a difficult level but now it's a new challenge taking the next step into a relationship.

*five months later*

Having you as his girlfriend was the best feeling he ever felt in his life, he has his moments of wanting to show you off but he gets extremely jealous whenever someone looks at you in the wrong way, he wants your full attention to him and wants you to be by his side 24/7.

When it comes to sex, it's mostly foreplay, he give you oral whenever you ask him but it's gets harder each time you try to grab him.

One day you gently rub his thigh with a concerned look. " baby what's wrong? Why won't you let me see you." Tomura feel embarrassed as he felt like it time tell you the truth.

" you won't laugh at me... you won't get mad and run off? " He tilts his head towards you as you give him your smile, his favorite thing to look at.

" tenten, I will never do that~." You put your head on his shoulder, you look into his crimson eyes as you gently caresses his face.

" I'm yours after all~. " you give him a sweet kiss on the cheek as he quickly gets up, he looks at you.

".... okay, there goes nothing. " Shigaraki sighs softly as you're sitting there looking so pretty as he pull his pants and boxer down fast.

There was a moment of silence waiting for your reaction.. he blinked a few times as he watched your face. It looks like the same, soft delicate features as you look up at him.

There was no laughter nor disgusted from you, you lick your lips as your eyes hungry looking at his crotch.

" you look.... so handsome tenten~. " you purr at him, pulling him close to you.

" y-you're not upset by it?!?? " shigaraki looks down at you as you shake your head.

" why would I be upset at you, you're perfect. " you gently rub his cock as you stare at him.

" I fell in love with you tenko and I love you and all your body equally. " you kiss his neck softly as you look into his eyes.

" is that why you didn't want to take the next step? Because of your dick? " you grab him tight making him shiver, melting into your soft hand.

He whines loudly as he nods his head in shame. " didn't want to embarrass you princess... " he whimper softly as you felt sadness in your heart, your lovely boyfriend been so sweet to you these past few months, he's the perfect boyfriend you ever ask for and he feels ashamed for having a small penis. You coo at him sweetly pulling him into a passionate kiss.

" tenko... " he looking into your lustful eye as you bite his lips softly.

" make love to me~ " no warning tomura gently push you down as he growls at you, he begins humping his half naked body on top of you as you moan his name.

Tomura can feel his erection getting hard by the seconds by your sweet voice and mewls.

He carefully pulls your clothes off but it's very clumsy as you giggle at him softly, you help him get out of his clothes too.

Tomura moves away as he looks at you sweetly.

" ride me baby doll~. " he sat on the sheet, pulling you onto his lap, you give him a soft kiss as your hand move between bodies as you grab his cock.

He whines into the kiss feeling your gentle hand wrap around his cock, he can feel his heart pounding fast as he start to sweat.

" are you nervous baby? " you whisper into his ear as he nods his head fast, you coo at him as you carass his scarred chest.

" awww don't be nervous with me tenko~ I'm here. " you grab his cock softly, stroking each time until you finally put the tip at your entrance.

You push downward feeling the gasp escape out of your mouth, he may be a few inches short but his girth on the other hand.. holy shit, it feels amazing.

You pull him closer, using your hand on his lean shoulders for support as you begin to bounce on him, your thighs and ass jiggle as you find a good rhythm, he begins to felt warmth in his heart and all over himself.

He felt satisfied with having you as his girlfriend and for the first time having sex, he can't get enough of it.

He carefully holds your hips with two fingers out away from your skin but it gets more heated and heavy.

The loud plaps coming out you whenever he gets balls deep, he rolls his eyes backwards and groans at the tight feeling of your cunt.

" shit I-.. " he doesn't finish his sentence as he releases his white thick cum inside of you as he aches his back.

He cries out your name, pulls you closer as he helps you bounce.

He put his head on your chest feeling ashamed as you comfort him.

" hey heyyy tenten, it's okay look at me. " he looks up with sadness as you rub his cheeks.

" I'm still here and you can do it again more often if you like, I'm not mad at you babe~.. your body was just reaching the climax. Does it feel good? " he smiles softly, you're definitely a keeper.

He pulls you closer as he begins to nip on your neck, pushing you down as he pulls your legs up.

" you're right... you're so right princess~. " he pulled out fully and slammed inside fast.

" we got many more levels to level up.. ahhh~ fuck your pussy feel good. " tomura begin to push your thighs downward as you roll your eyes back, your tongue begins to slide out as the drooling slide down your cheek and onto the pillow.

His thigh slapping against yours as the clapping increases in volume as you and him begin to make noise out loud.

The bed wouldn't stop shaking by shigaraki's thrusts and the way he makes you feel things, you crying out his name reaching your end fast.

Tomura can feel you cumming, your wall tightening up around his cock and he getting sloppy by the seconds but he is not stopping any time soon! He is determined to make you overstimulated and make you fully satisfied.

This is getting addicting tomura thought to himself, he can't get enough of you and your tight pussy.

He needs this more often and he'll gladly give you everything that you need from a man.

You are his and he is yours after all.

Tomura removes your legs so he can spread your thighs wide, seeing his cock sliding in and out of your wet sloppy pussy drive him crazy as he begins to cum inside your wall again.

You pant softly as tomura lean in to give you a passionate kiss, his fingers play with your soft locks as he intertwines with your fingers being careful to not put five fingers down on you.

" fuck-!! Let's level up together baby! We gotta get stronger and also... " he pushes his hips closer to yours as he rolls slowly making you squirm a bit.

" I can last longer to help you cum faster~" he removed his hand as he moved to your clit, giving it love and attention.

" I can give you everything that you want y/n just tell me please~ " he coo at you with hope in his eyes as you lean in to give him kisses.

" of course~!! Ahh keep going baby mhmm fuck it's feel good~.. " you throw your head back.

Shigaraki doesn't waste time as he begins to pound into you, your body moving with his fast heavy thrusts, your juicy liquid slide down your thighs as you begin your second orgasm.

Tomura loves it when you reach your orgasm, he feels pride in his chest, he makes his girlfriend cum more time by him and him only.

He sighs softly as he rocks his hips back and forth feeling his end is coming near.

He started to bite all over your bodies giving you hickeys and to remind everyone that you're his, don't worry you give him the same treatment as well.

On that night, you didn't get any sleep afterwards but you were fully satisfied that your boyfriend enjoyed his time with you.

The cuddles after a long love making was worth it and when you wake up by him nipping your neck early in the morning and humping from behind.

You know the day is gonna start off great, morning sex is the best.

------------------------------------------------------

Children's media can absolutely and does radicalize kids when written correctly,it's just that shitty bigoted adults in fandoms deliberately misenterpret their messages and trick them into believing they're canon and that's how we got here.Bleach had Ichigo be a goth punk dude who's a fantastic older brother and choose his female love interest because she's his best friend and he finds her weirdgirlness to be enchanting which is good rep for us because being punk is about nonconformity and so is the fact that he never joined the military system his species was largely a part of because he didn't give two shits about them but over half the fandom is convinced the mangaka is a 'sellout' and 'pandering' for not making him essentially a paranormal cop for the sake of pairing him up with the fem mc that he has a familial and queerplatonic relathionship with as confirmed by the aformentioned mangaka

Pjo had Percy hate the gods as much as Luke does and act on it too but directly TO them instead of grooming younger halfbloods to work for him as soldiers and in fact he basically adopted every one of them he came across as his siblings and pseudo-kids and this is explicitly framed as why he's a hero and Luke's evil but you see nonstop erasure of his anti-corruption and anti-authority mentality and direct action despite being his core character traits to make him more palpable as an 'average fantasy protagonist' when the point of him is that he's not normal in any way

The Owl House had 3/5 of it's mcs be poc with the two white ones being an autistic and ocd lesbian and the other a disabled boy with zero conventionally physical traits that're never made out to be ugly and the protag is an inmigrant afrolatina girl while the big villain is a puritan colonizer and every single ship on the show is queer including the m/f one and the token white boy has almost all the important characters to his arc being black and the only one who isn't is a fat asian girl who's also disabled but the HUGE amount of positive rep in the show is deliberately taken out of context for bad faith critisism by a bunch of 20/30/even 40 year olds who've never written actual good stories themselves and this includes them adoring and gushing over the colonizer guy while dismissing the poc and women in the cast as irrelevant

Across the Spiderverse had an EXTREMELY black in every way character literally named SpiderPUNK who makes his beliefs clear in every single one of his lines and isn't all talk for a single second but he's reduced down to 'annoying edgy older brother figure' and made to listen to Taylor Swift and go to Hot Topic and called 'obviously a skater boy' and every other poser punk trope in the books

Atla had Aang and Katara be a gnc boy of a lesser known type of asian race and Katara a brownskin native girl that reclaims femininity for herself with their character drives being to save the world with Zuko's arc hammering it in again and again that while he always had good in him,he WAS evil,he DOES have a lot of bad traits and that made him do a lot of bad things and THAT'S why he needed a redemption arc to be a hero but Aang gets called racist for following the buddhist belief that in-universe he was sole remaining follower of that killing humans is bad,Katara gets adultified and stripped of her actual personality to make her just 'hashtag relatable teen gurl' and Zuko gets infantalized and upholded as the least problematic character in the whole show

And my last and not quite like the rest example is Harry Potter,including the spinoffs and fanon.Everything in it is neoliberal bs and the fandom just made it worse-Oh,the house that's a metaphor for fascism and white supremacy legacies?They're just misunderstood little babies and every minority-coded🥺The lower class family who canonically were Jkr's best attempt at good people that still flopped?Awful homophobic bastards😡All the female characters?Perfect slay 'You can't sit with us' girlboss,precious little baby angel who can't tie her shoes without her reverse harem's help or manipulative self-obsessed hyperfemme pick me,those are the only three categories they can ever fall in.Marauder's Era not only existing but being very,VERY popular is nothing but whiteness-What is there for you to be attached to there exactly?With the canon cast i can least see why you'd have nostalgia but M Era is literally nothing.You just CHOOSE to pick a franchise that's violently bigoted towards basically everyone and who's creator actively influences and helps caused that hurt irl oppressed groups instead of making ocs since you're already building them from scratch anyway

It's not the fault of actual good creators and especially not kids in fandom that grown ass bootlickers couldn't accept that their precious 'escapist comfort media' isn't apolitical at all instead of absorving it's messages like they should have since they have no care for other people despite insisting how kind and unproblematic they are
