“[her eyes] were two terrifyingly dark windows, and within them a very unknown, strange life. I could only see fire—some kind of inner wood-fire was blazing there….”

You never wanted to hurt anyone, but the world never gave you a choice. You did the best you could with what you had, but every innocent mistake you made was held against you when it counted, every crossroads led you down the wrong path no matter which way you went. No matter what you did, the odds were stacked against you. It wasn't fair, and you are sick and tired of being told what a monster you are for things out of your control. Well, fine. They want a monster? YOU'LL GIVE THEM A MONSTER!

Phew, this was a tough one for Yein, whose entire theme is centered around choosing kindness and love in the face of unspeakable pain and suffering. My partner described this outcome as: "Yein, if the coin kept landing on the wrong side." Now I can't get that out of my head.

Many warm thank you's to @gatheredfates, @ubejamjar, and Yein's cave neighbor @dragons-ire for tagging me! You are all fantastic, and at least one of your names always makes me hungry.

Tagging @nolanel-corbeaux, @bemsbigboom, @yloiseconeillants, @mythandral, and @scholarlostintime. 𓆩♡𓆪

I'm also tagging anyone else reading this! And sneaking in @cindernet-explorer, @dragonsongmakhali, and @zeloinator. ₊˚⊹♡

What type of villain are you? Here's the quiz.

What type of villain are you

Angoul Launuet — No Moral Compass

You are cold, analytical, and you strive to be as objective as a person of flesh and blood can be. Either don't understand the concepts of good and evil, or you understand it perfectly and think it's a load of bull. Some may call you selfish, some may call you unfeeling, but you're just doing what you believe will yield the best results, plain and simple. Why bother with petty ideals of right or wrong when you can do what will actively help those you give a fuck about? Your goals may be selfish or noble or anything in between, but you will not let anyone make you feel like garbage for going after them. You couldn't care less about what people brand you as. You just care about getting shit done by any means necessary.
