#to me as well - evil for the sake of evil - altho the ''he was bullied as a child :('' type thing is annoying too)

The idea of only liking media that shows perfect morals and characters who make perfect decision will never appeal to me because i just don't find it interesting to see everything go how it should. Show me a guy who thinks he's doing the right thing, but us - the audience - can see he's going to fuck something up massively or that he just fell too deep into whatever negative emotion he's feeling that he doesn't realise his decision is Bad.

#like stories where good fights evil and good makes no morally grey decisions and in the end they defeat evil #they can be good and fun stories esp for escapism #but... they just don't appeal to me. i like following the inner workings of villains or morally grey characters and i like seeing #the various ways in which a character would excuse their behaviour and decisions to themselves (which is why cartoonish villains are lame #to me as well - evil for the sake of evil - altho the ''he was bullied as a child :('' type thing is annoying too) #and like they don't even have to be evil maybe they're just Wrong you know? #this is about Eichi . by the way. he's not evil but he thought he was doing the right thing (and i mean in a way...) #but his way of doing it was machiavellist and uh well! he brought about Good Changes but at such a steep cost #and how did he excuse it to himself? LOVE. that's such good characterisation i love it
