Trace, and embrace, the enigmatic echoes of Sephiroth through a soundscape that evolves with his undying legacy. From the ashes and war of Wutai, to the whispers of an uncertain future, this playlist is a living tribute, growing with each chapter of the FF7R saga. It captures the essence of a figure who defies the bounds of memory and time.

Kingsward: The Antechamber

A more ambient, narrative track for a D&D campaign. Nothing too grandiose, designed to give a glimpse into one of the character's personalities.

Disney: Yeah, sorryy, we don't know how to make villains without queercoding them and people didn't like the twist-villains, so we stopped making them alltogether :( I hope you like 3593 intergenerational family-traumas!

Dreamworks, while creating not one, not two, but three amazing villains: Pathetic

#puss in boots #puss in boots the last wish #dreamworks #animation #shrek #disney #honestly #everyone talks already about wolf and yeah hes amazing #but Goldie Locks and her family were so cute and adorable #the whole theme with just right? #it killed me #and Big Jack Horner was just a dick #and he doesnt only know this he owns it #'it's adorable how you think that would work Don't you know I'm dead inside?' #perfect delivery #we need more old school villains #(and yeah i like family stories and encantos story about family trauma was good #but like... Strange World would have been so much better if it had a villain #none of that misunderstanding-bullshit #it would have been so easy too the president was right there #but alas)

Raphael is the funniest antagonist in the game to me, he's a powerful devil trying to steal your soul and speaks to you in rhymes that he probably practices in the mirror, he has his own incubus that says he's a bottom only and bad in bed, and then you can call him out. You can go and rob him blind and then kick his ass in his own house.

You can ask some guy he had you kill if he wants to help you kick his ass, and if you convince him he'll go 'yeah sure I bet you'll win' while Raphael is standing right there.

#bg3 raphael #bg3 spoilers #bg3 #He sings his own theme song #Actual cartoon villain #I've seen his new hair color and my new head-cannon for it is that he dyed it after finding a single grey hair #When Harleep takes Raphaels form he keeps the original brown color just to fuck with him #Wicked witch of the west energy except Dorothy is just some rando who fell from a tentacle ship and has a brain worm for ruby slippers #I saw a reddit post that described him as a sleazy cars sales man and the black hair really sells that image now #Only thing I wish in game is that you could spare him after beating him and make a deal with him in your favor #come full circle with Tav pulling a 'You still have the unconditional freedom to choose the only option you have left'

[jerreeeeeee]

no villain speech has ever stuck with me like robert moses’ short manifesto from his conversation with kingston. people think they make choices. they think they’re gonna steer left, or steer right. but they didn’t build the roads. the big choices already got made for them, a long time ago.

because he’s RIGHT. not about his takeaway, obviously, which is just “and that’s how it should be.” but the statement itself is true. they DIDN’T build the roads. people are told over and over that because they “make choices” the outcomes of those choices are their responsibility, and that it’s freedom, even. they think they’re gonna choose to steer left, and then they crash. they choose which auto insurance they have. they choose what new car to buy. and that’s freedom. but they didn’t choose to be required to drive a dangerous vehicle an hour away to work their life away at a job they don’t care about just to keep themselves alive. they can only live their lives in a narrow framework, a structure sustained by a threat of imprisonment and violence. they didn’t build the system. they didn’t build the country, or even the concept of a country. they didn’t build the laws, they didn’t build the city, and they sure as hell didn’t build the roads.

#idk something about that line the cadence its said maybe but the first time i heard it it hit me like a truck i had to pause the show #just that one sentence. but they didn’t build the roads #yknow its a perfect succint encapsulation of robert moses as a villain complete with perfect theming and also the evils of capitalism irl #tuc is so good its insane. it may not be my favorite d20 season but it may be the best on a narrative level #the unsleeping city #d20

so wanting is a recurring motif/theme in hatchetfield musicals right. with What Do You Want Paul in tgwdlm (used to convey Paul's ambivalence) and What Tim Wants in black Friday (and the whole consumerism message).

so I'm happy to see NPMD continues this trend with this lyric in The Summoning

whatever we want we want we want / whatever we want we get / whatever you want you want you want / forever puts you in debt

#nerdy prudes must die #starkid #i just like this lyric for some reason and this occured to me #'whatever we want we get' is 1. just so villainously petulant and 2. it's cool that the villains of the series are also tied to this theme #but in a way that they're above it. you know what i mean. the humans are toiling but whatever the lords in black want they get.

I used to despise Eridan and think he was the absolute worst character (barring Cronus ig) but you have shown me the light and completely turned my opinion around and now I think he is such an endearing little freak <3 I read your whole blog already but if you've got any more thoughts on eri or anyone else then I hope you post them bc I'd love to hear more abt it!

i have sooo many controversial opinions about the dancestors you have noooooo idea

#always glad to have another person go 'oh eridan's not that bad huh' #like he IS a freak and there is SO MUCH thats wrong with him #but he's supposed to be an antagonist AND sympathetic AND funny AND pathetic AND tragic #like all these things can be true hes just a complex character #same w a lot of them #vriska equius and gamzee all kind of fall into this boat #yes there is a lot thats wrong with them but they are also 13 #let he who was not a shithead at 13 cast the first stone #anyway ive been hesitant about talking about the dancestors because if my eridan opinions are controversial... #but the tl;dr is that almost all of them suck horribly #like collectively they are the worst characters in homestuck and thats on purpose #bc their role in the story is villainous like theyre the reason lord english even exists #if the alternian trolls as a rule are meant to be sympathetic even if they have a lot of problems #then the beforus trolls are like a worst case scenario of 'what if they never address their problems and grow up that way' #theyre the counterpoint to the comics themes of being a kid and growing up #learning to care about each other and become responsible #the beforus trolls are children who never grew up #going through the exact same problems and drama as when they were children #because they never took responsibility for their own actions or their treatment of each other #And That's Terrible

Hmm, there's probably something there; with Gortash internalising the Hells' attitude towards deities (they're very powerful beings, but not special), He's not the most experienced planewalker, but he's seen some weird shit.

And then he meets the offspring of a god and absolutely nothing about Durge phases him. He was the slave of the half-mortal son of an archdevil who was... very much a person under all that bullshit. A quasi-deity is pretty much the same thing. He doesn't bat an eyelid as he shoos the slayer because, even if he's never seen the avatar of Bhaal specifically, it's still nothing he hasn't seen before. Sure, they have power and that's worth something, but it's still not really unique or new to him. Their crimes and "quirks"? He's been to Hell, he's seen them all and then some.

And the Dark Urge, who is used to being a terrible thing that inspires terror and awe and worship (and Othering) is just ??? What. It's frustrating. It's fascinating. It lets them have an actual human connection for the first time in god-knows how long.

Sorry to the person who sent me the ask about the use of those specific adjectives by Mr. Hawkins in his recomendation letter, and how that relates to the newfound abuse that Dracula is starting to subject onto Jonathan. I was writing the response, and tumblr ate the ask when I tried to save it ;-;

But I still want to talk about it :)

It has been said a lot of times, but the adjectives that Mr. Hawkins chose, and used in the letter to describe why Jonathan was the perfect lawyer for Dracula's properties were very... Subjective.

All of those adjectives can be read as compliments since they paint Jonathan as a first time worker who may be new to solicitor stuff in practice, but he will do a very good job thanks to these qualities. However, for someone like Dracula, for someone who has malicious intent in mind. Adjectives like discreet, and silent, along with "shall take your instructions in all matters" paint a different picture of Jonathan.

That letter, at the eyes of Dracula, paints Jonathan as the perfect victim who will not scream, complain, nor try to defy him if he tries to do something to him.

And, that is what exactly Dracula does in the course of three days, three horrible days.

The Count manipulates, and abuses Jonathan in the most realistic manner that one can put on paper. There is no magic, no supernatural powers, nor vampirical events in these three days, just Dracula slowlyyyy tearing apart Jonathan's mind by playing a horrible game of take, and give.

Dracula gives Jonathan amazing food, cultural knowledge, amazing attitude, a smooth legal process regarding the properties, interesting conversations... basic companionship in an isolated castle with no other human around. The perfect host that maybe is a little too familiar with touch.

And in return, what Dracula takes from Jonathan? His boundaries, his sleep schedule, his privacy, his safety, small stuff like the mirror that gives him a sense of routine. Everything that could give Jonathan a sense of relief, anything that could make him stop being on edge since he got in the castle

YET STILL, if you notice, STILL, the narrative itself doesn't infer that Jonathan is lesser, or in the wrong for not fighting back in a traditional masculine way. Neither on the text, nor the subtext. Hell, Jonathan can even compare his situation to the heroine Scheherezade, and it weights in the narrative because it's an actual theme of his character!

#Count Dracula as a villain contains multitudes of themes #From xenophobic ones to class to the old world to humanity #And it's IMPRESSIVE how real it feels when Dracula starts to test Jonathan's boundaries then push them #And it's more impressive how there is no humilliation for Jonathan when his answer to that is to play the part to save time #That is why Jonathan is so cool #dracula daily #dracula #jonathan harker #count dracula

People who draw Luigi's thunderhand as green>

Don't get me wrong, I love the blue lightning, but something about the green lightning just feels right

Actually, now that you point it out, @katlyntheartist is the only one I can recall making that aesthetic choice, and... yeah, I have to agree.

Give him green flames, green lighting, green goo-clones, green everything for the green guy!

#It's also kinda ironic because green magic is so often a villain-themed thing #while Lu is the bestest boy #it balances out the universe #Luigi #Super Mario bros #super mario brothers

I am chewing on your art like a powered up Pac-man. You've made me very interested in trying out a Kamen rider show. What's a good starting point?

:D! thank you! I will never NOT be happy to get people to watch more Kamen Rider, soon everyone will be converted and my evil plan will be complete. >:)

one of the nice things about Kamen Rider is that most of the shows are standalone and (aside from things like crossover movies) don't require watching any of the others to understand. so you can kinda just pick one that sounds interesting and try it out! I have a few personal recs in this post, or you can check out the wikipedia list (under Main Series)!

after some thought, I'm also gonna like...soft-rec Fourze and Gaim, with the caveat that they are not at all the typical Rider tone (Fourze has a much more cheerful and sillier style than usual, and Gaim is a rollercoaster ride through a bizarro fruit-themed weirdoland) (this is not a negative). they're pretty divisive because of that, but I know they've been a few other people's entry points, and I liked them both personally, so! Fourze's head writer also wrote Gurren Lagann, and Gaim's wrote Madoka Magica, and their respective styles are extremely evident in both, so if you're familiar with those then take that as a plus or minus as you will. :')

#kamen rider #children's shows are serious business #AND SPEAKING OF PACMAN: there was a crossover movie where two of them teamed up to fight a giant evil pacman and it was great #(the main antagonist was a pacman-themed villain who was also an evil doctor) (his name was dr. pacman) #just gotta bring that up every chance i get because c'mon #seriously though i know rider and tokusatsu in general is not everyone's cup of tea. but i do really appreciate people giving it a chance! #it's a lot of guys in superhero suits having emotions while swinging foam swords at rubber monsters #accompanied by some of the worst cgi you've ever seen in your life #and i love every second of it

forgive the brief jesus chris superstar rant but. there is a very important difference between the pharisees being villains and the pharisees being antagonists. they're technically antagonists because they're actively working against the interests of our protagonist, but i don't believe they should ever be played as villains. they're not evil or bad or wrong. they're terrified just like literally everyone else in the show is, and their actions are completely justified. to me that's the entire point of the musical. it's not about christianity; it's about the impact the roman empire's brutal and violent imperialism had on everyone on all levels. including jesus and judas, but also including the pharisees, and even herod and pilate. when a powerful coloniser forces their presence on innocent people they are the only winners. everyone else suffers, even the puppet kings and high priests who look like they're reaping some sort of benefit from it all. that's roman propaganda. the romans kept native rulers like herod and caiaphas in power to maintain the illusion of provincial autonomy, and keep populations appeased and therefore under control. everyone in the show is acting out of fear of the romans. the one roman character we do see (pilate) is acting out of fear of his own emperor. it makes no sense to cast the pharisees as two dimensional Bad Guys, especially when the same productions that do that usually offer a sympathetic portrayal of pilate. it would be so easy to stage and direct a production in a way that makes it obvious that the pharisees are doing what they're doing because they truly have no choice, and not because they're pure evil and want to kill jesus for the sake of it. it's not only an antisemitic trope but also undermines a really important theme of the musical. if you can see the humanity in the violent roman governor installed forcefully on conquered land then you can afford some humanity for the pharisees too. they are victims of pilate and victims of rome just like everyone else

#THEY ARE NOT ALLIES OF PILATE. they have a common interest yes. ie avoiding punishment from rome #but the pharisees have no choice but to go to pilate. they have no real power. because like i said. they are puppet rulers #i am just tired of seeing the pharisees as villains #IF YOU WANT A VILLAIN (idk why you need to have one i don't think this show is about that) IT SHOULD BE FUCKING PILATE. AND NO ONE ELSE #THE PHARISEES ARE NOT VILLAINS. THEY ARE NOT EVIL. THEY ARE VICTIMS. #i am tired of seeing them costumed or directed in a way that makes them stereotypical Bad Guys #the 2k version of jcs is my favourite but i HATE how it portrays the pharisees at times especially annas #when annas pushes judas to the floor for literally no reason it's like. you are going out of your way to make these guys seem evil #sucks because the actor from 2k is the best annas i've ever seen in terms of presence and voice #and the actor who plays caiaphas in that film does a really good job at showing fear instead of pure anger and evil #but it's generally all still done in a way that makes the priests seem evil. in my opinion #and yes i called pilate violent. he's not in A Lot of productions but. the real pilate was an extremely brutal governor #and there's a very good reason for portraying him as such. especially when you consider the themes i mentioned here #jesus christ superstar #jcs #ask to tag
