To Write A Good Villain

TW: loss of control, hallucinogenics, dr*gs, sc*rs, venom, bl*od, death, defeat, s*x, god, volcanoes, pr*dtors, m*rder, j*alousy, smoking, ab*se, cheating, sl*very, oppression, servitude, vampires, destruction.

Technically, I'm here on Tumblr as a writer. So. It's time I contributed my itty bitty bit.

Many things make a good story. Some claim it is world-building, some think it the cast of protagonists, some the vivid descriptions. All of those elements, however, will seem lacklustre, if your story does not have a good villain. What use is an MC with glorious superpowers or magic, if there is nothing to oppose them? Can there be any victory without a great evil?

In real life? Perhaps. In any fictional world? No. The readers tune in for awesome conflict, so we writers must provide, and enjoy ourselves while doing so.

So what does make a great villain?

Before we explore that, let us review the types of villains. Most important to remember is that a villain need not be human. In literature, there can be many types of discord:

- Person Vs Self: Often used as a compelling subplot, this kind of conflict is valid when a person needs to do something that is opposed to their inner self, something they find morally, emotionally or intellectually repulsive. Eg; A scholar forced to indulge in activities that are unscientific, like smoking when they know it is bad for their health. A pacifist who is forced into a war situation and must commit murder to save their own or their family's lives. A person seeking enlightenment struggles with jealousy when their guru finds a new favourite. (IMPORTANT: Feeling conflicted due to one's morals is acceptable. Hating oneself due to a mental disorder is not. Please do not use mental illness as a plot point.)

- Person Vs Person: Often used as a primary plot point in standalone stories and movies, this kind of conflict is valid when a person bears a personal grudge or hatred toward another. Eg; A wrestler hating someone who defeated them in the ring through sabotage. A child-hating the murderer that orphaned them and their sibling. A person hating their lover who manipulated, gas-lit or cheated on them. (IMPORTANT: Ensure that abuse and abusers are not romanticized, that the healing journey of the character does not lead to them forgiving their abuser. Forgiveness is not a prerequisite for closure. Please do not encourage abuser-abused relationships.)

- Person Vs Society: Often used as a primary plot point in dystopian stories and movies, this kind of conflict is valid when a person aims to fight against a law or a government that systematically oppresses them. Eg; A womon fighting against the law which considers them as lower-class citizens. A PoC fighting against slave laws. A member of the working class rebelling against the bourgeoisie. (IMPORTANT: If you are not a minority, do not presume you are qualified to tell their story. Our stories belong to us alone, and taking away from us the privilege of sharing our trauma when we feel comfortable enough to do so is the worst kind of representation. Please remember if you occupy a position of power, you have no right to speak on our behalf. Already we are often silenced, do not participate in that further if you claim to be an ally.)

- Person Vs Machine: Often used as a primary plot point in science fiction stories and movies, this kind of conflict is valid when any man-made object gains enough intelligence to be considered sentient and becomes a threat to humanity. Eg; A machine that acts as a maid desiring to be free of the bonds of its servitude. An AI which does not have empathy and value for human life. A robot that attempts to destroy mankind. (IMPORTANT: These conflicts are often intricate, and can be spun anyway. Perhaps a human tries to teach a robot to love, and the result is embarrassing in a comedic way. But do not try to equate people on the asexual and aromantic spectrums, people with mental illness or people with severe trauma to these AI. They are extremely discriminated against. Please, do not contribute to the stigma.)

- Person Vs Nature: Often used as a compelling subplot, this kind of conflict is valid when a person is pitted against fauna and flora in a vulnerable state. Eg; A captive who has escaped their bonds only to come upon a harsh landscape. A person with severe allergies visits a place that is opposed to their disposition. A person with a grudge against a famous wild animal who bit off their leg. (IMPORTANT: In many such stories, a trend is that a character comes across a hostile tribal group. These tribes are portrayed only the negative attributes of certain PoC cultures. Doing so is blatantly racist and highly offensive. Please refrain from representing us in such appalling ways.)

- Person Vs Fate/Supernatural: Often used as a primary plot point in fantasy and YA stories and movies, this kind of conflict is valid when a person is threatened or working against a force that is outside nature. Eg; A person coming across a magical artefact belonging to a god, and the devil's henchmen are after it, but it has bonded to them. A lower-level employee working in a tampon factory accidentally discovering their boss is a deadly vampire. A person falling in love, only to discover their partner is heir to a clan of selkies, and their younger sibling plans on overthrowing them. (IMPORTANT: Oftentimes, the villains are given physical and cultural attributes exclusive to PoC and their culture, like the antagonist having dreadlocks or enjoying food that lies outside white cuisine. Please realise that is racist.)

How to create a proper villain:

1. Motive.

Arguably the most important factor in a villain is motive. Their end goal must be reasonable(depends on their moral compass), achievable(depends on their means), and must cause moral conflict in the protagonist.

Eg; Due to childhood trauma, a villain feels weak and unsafe in their own skin. Adopting a terrifying persona, they seek to control everyone around them, and by extension, the world, through a potent hallucinogen. Considered worthless until they design a new identity, the villain is only considered a threat when they overthrow a monarchy/gain obscene amounts of money/create a giant machine. The MC knows that the villain is wrong in their actions, but understands that their henchmen are drugged, and must choose a different course of action than brute force to defeat them.

2. Power/Skill

Expanding on the earlier point of a goal being achievable, a villain must have the capabilities to obtain the prize they desire. If they perform actions outside their means, the entire premise becomes boring and unrealistic. Unless the villain is playing pretend for a future plot twist, humble the antagonist before they get out of hand.

Eg; A machine cannot destroy the world if they do not have an intricate base code if they are not linked to machines around the world. An animal cannot be famous unless its existence is questionable unless it is more mythical than real unless it possesses some quality (a missing tooth, a scar across their eye) that the others of its breed do not have. Kindness cannot be a source of a moral dilemma if it is not shown in many actions of the protagonist.

3. Appearance.

Contrary to popular belief, the way a villain looks contributes greatly to their story. If the appearance of an antagonist does not match their other attributes, the villain may fall flat and feel one-dimensional.

Eg; If a person comes from humbler beginnings, them wearing designer clothes is not feasible. A wealthier person should at least maintain the appearance of being well-groomed, but a few things out of place, such as a tie clip, messy eyeliner, or stubble are acceptable, perhaps due to lack of respect for themselves, or mania from unfulfilled desires. If a plant is secretly venomous, let insects keep away from it. If a werewolf is known to violently transition, let them have a feral look in their eye, larger canines and stronger jawbones.

4. Presence

Outside of appearance, the overall vibe of the villain is of the utmost importance. Their aesthetic instils fear, inspires awe, which is one of the primary things that cause audiences to secretly root for them. Their smooth delivery of scathing, savage lines makes us fall in love with them. Having a stellar, scary presence amplifies whatever the villain does tenfold.

Eg; If a villain wears a daring dress, different from the style of their era, it will make them seem much more impressive. Fresh after a murder, if they have blood splattered on their face, it will make the ghastliness of their actions more resounding. If they're haunting little children, having grotesque features instead of sharp ones will terrify the kids more, and the readers.

5. Backstory

Why did the villain become a villain in the first place? This is perhaps the most important question when it comes to antagonists. Not only do backstories help us understand the villain's motives and reasons better, but readers may also root for them if they glimpse a part of them reflected in the villain, making the tale more painful to read.

Eg; If a bully has been abused at home, it explains their actions. If a villain was in a situation where their body was not theirs, their actions may be born out of a desire for control.

Things to avoid:

1. Do not make them a caricature. Avoid toxic and dull stereotypes such as "catty ex-girlfriend", "sex-crazed womon", "evil old pr*dator" etc. Not only are these caricatures cartoonish and overused, but they also make a villain hollow and lifeless. Villains are humans too, give them quirks, bad habits and things they enjoy, beliefs of their own. (Eg; They enjoy watching cat videos, smoke or bite their nails, enjoy mixing drinks for fun, and think God is a hoax.)

2. Avoid coding them as PoC or LGBTQ+. If you have a diverse cast of various races, ethnicities, sexualities and genders, then it is completely alright to write another such character as the villain. However, if your only minority character is the villain, that is highly problematic.

3. A backstory does not equate to sympathy. If the villain's actions are extremely reprehensible, including and not limited to; r*pe, g*nocide, ab*se or s*rial murder, please do not try to redeem them. Understanding someone's motives is wildly different from making the audiences sympathize with them. Do not romanticize their flaws.

4. Lastly, humble them. A villain will always entertain the audiences if they suffer a bit too. Instead of constant angst and pain, add lighter moments, moments where they stumble, trip, are tired or bored. This would make their eventual death/defeat burn even more, and the audience will definitely mourn the loss of a wonderful antagonist.

Like a volcano, a true villain leaves ashes in their wake, but their fire forces the protagonists to solidify into stone. Let their actions echo into the age.

Let's talk about Felix Warren

I feel the need to preface this by saying I take no joy in Online Drama. But, I feel I've been silent about this for too long and nobody gains anything from my silence. For the record, I only hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology, so please don't consider me to be an end-all-be-all authority on the subject. I consider myself to have a barely above-average understanding--but enough to make a commentary when mental illness and accusations of abuse are being thrown around. I am not an 'influencer' or 'internet famous' and much of the interaction I have with my mutuals on this blog are common shitposts about cats or memes. I have no intentions of becoming an influencer, and thus nothing to gain by posting a wall of text instead of my regularly scheduled bird memes. I have not known either Rune or Felix long enough to say I am intimately familiar with either. But, the resulting breakup between them is one of the major reasons why I am better acquainted with Rune over Felix. My history with both boils down to I found their posts to be helpful in my own witchcraft and joined (for a time) both of their patreons. I left Felix's patreon after coming to the conclusion that I did not have spare time at that point to dedicate to his classes--unrelated to anything else going on at that time. I wasn't 'seduced' away from it. I am also the person Felix alluded to when he said a cis woman claimed girl autistics are 'better' than boy ones--which I'm not really sure what that means. As I do not have permission from every single person in that chat, I will currently not post the entire conversation. What I said was that male-presenting autistic individuals are often more diagnosed than their female-presenting counterparts--due to behavioral issues. I DID say that male-presenting autistics are often more aggressive. (And this is in the literature. You can look it up on Google Scholar. But, by that point, we were not talking about Felix. That was more me ranting about how female-presenting individuals are not diagnosed. I was not diagnosed until my late 20s--which I did mention in the conversation. )But I would hardly claim that meant one was 'better' than the other. This entire conversation began relevant to Felix, mostly regarding a question of if his behavior (aggression, obsession over his ex's, manufacture of villains for his internal narrative) was caused by autism, c-PTSD, or Major Depressive Disorder. I stated that I did not think so, on the basis of also suffering from depression, c-PTSD, and being on the autism spectrum myself. I never spoke to Felix alone, so I cannot speak to him being paranoid. I was never that close to him, and think I was only ever on a group chat with him a few times. So I cannot give a diagnosis and am not qualified to give a diagnosis. I also cannot speak to that sort of behavior or thought pattern. I can speak to Felix's aggression and obsessive tendencies. I have heard multiple stories of Felix obsessing over ex's-- ex-friends, ex-lovers--a number of people who seem to have gone from being the apple of his eye to absolute garbage in the time it takes to snap your fingers. I have also seen him write public posts about his various villains and how abusive they were--but it seems curious to me that someone who was so wrongfully abused would poke at the proverbial hornet's nest repeatedly. This is not something that people looking to escape a bad situation do. Rune's posting was on a private discord server. This also began because a number of individuals have sent him hate-mail and referenced Felix's blog. So this was a venting of current issues on a private server, hoping to find a solution and voice frustration. I will note that up until this moment, Rune asked his friends and acquaintances not to bother Felix. Rune wanted to be left alone--which is far more consistent with someone who has been in a bad relationship. Re: the term 'Psychotic.' People do not have to have a diagnosis of a Psychotic Disorder to exhibit psychotic behavior. There is a reason there is diagnostic criteria for

these disorders. People can also have one-time Psychotic Episodes--which are often brought on by severe stress. I don't feel like re-typing everything about Psychosis here, but there are articles that are easy to find. Some delusion types are referenced here. Feelings of persecution (such as by an ex(or exes) who actually tells people not to bother you, and specifically wants just to be left alone by aggressive followers) and beliefs that someone is an abusive situation when they are not (I have been on calls with Rune when he was alone in a room with internet (via discord) multiple times, and have never seen any indication of abuse or some kind of subtle code between him and his husbands,) (hypnosis, mind control, magical unicorn reiki, vampirism, which I have never heard about) both cleanly fall within the stated categories. Acting upon these delusions (from what I can tell, they are delusions) does fall into the category of Psychotic Behavior. I would also consider him calling the cops on someone to be an act of aggression--given that both of us would know that Rune doesn't care for cops. Felix would have known that fact better than me. I distanced myself from Felix at that point, mostly because I have past trauma with people calling the cops on me for suicidal ideation and using the police as a threat to get me 'locked up' when I didn't behave in a way they wanted me to. Also, I wouldn't have wanted to speak to the person who called the cops on me in that moment, either, so maybe I'm the crazy one but that doesn't seem like a sign of abuse to me. For the record, I have heard Rune complain about being hungry--but only if someone was on the way home with takeout and was taking a long time or during a period of time when he was eating mostly salads for a diet. But that was a diet CHOICE, not a sign of abuse. I have never seen any narcissistic behavior from Rune, in fact he seems self-effacing at times and seems very aware that he can and has made mistakes in the past and probably will continue to do so. He seems quite aware of himself as a flawed, human individual. I have also had experience dealing with people with NPD.

I cannot speak about any of Felix's past relationships because I was not in contact with him during that time. But, I can speak to him behaving in an obsessive way about Rune and the impact his aggressive followers have had on Rune's life. I have also seen him cherry-pick information and specifically leave out details in order to make his stories more dramatic. Thus, I can only really speak to the fact that he seems to need a villain in his life--someone for him to obsess over and smear through the mud in a public fashion--and this seems to be a repeated pattern of behavior. If he doesn't have one, he will manufacture one in order to continue playing the victim. His thoughts seem to be a bit wild and disorganized, especially in his accusations towards Rune regarding hypnosis and mind control. Especially something so absolute and complex as stated in Felix's posts. I have only seen behavior like this a few times before in person. And I understand why both Rune and @hellboundwitch both just want Felix to leave them alone. I encourage anyone involved to speak up and speak the truth.

A: uh my mom and dad passed away a long time ago. I didn’t know much about my extended family on my dad’s side and my mom was kind of a bastard child so... not a lot of contact from that side other. Hell, I might have great-great-great cousins out there somewhere that I just don’t know about.

R: we really need to get you a DNA test

UM Interview: Ni/Co

Ni/Co is a music group composed of Dani Brillhart and Colton Jones. After relocating to Nashville from their hometowns, the duo combined their early influences to shape their unique and fresh sound as a band. Ni/Co has created + written with producers in Nashville, London + Los Angeles. After working their way through the southeast with both acoustic and full band shows, they have gained an insatiable passion to perform.

Amandah Opoku sat down with Ni/Co to talk about their new single “Legend”, a show they’d love to create the soundtrack for and more!

Amandah Opoku: Ni/Co, thank you for doing this interview today! Before we kick off please tell our readers about yourself and one random fact people do not know about you Ni/Co: We’re Ni/Co a band consisting of Dani Brillhart and Colton Jones. We were originally in Nashville and we’re now based in LA. Most people don't know that we have a lifelong goal of being sponsored by Chipotle as we feel like we solely keep them in business some weeks.

AO: Dani and Colton how did you guys meet, and why did you decide to ultimately create Ni/Co? Ni/Co: We met in Nashville! We got into a room to co-write and instantly clicked. It wasn't until we performed live for the first time as a band that we knew we had to pursue this further and see where it could take us!

Amandah Opoku: Your band name “Ni/Co”, is shortened versions of your name. Why did you settle on that name for yourselves? Ni/Co: We went through A TON of crazy names before we ended up with Ni/Co. We wanted to make sure our name felt like 100% both of us. We kept trying to cycle through strange words and descriptors and then realized we were just trying way too hard haha!

AO: Dani you danced and sang for some of the most prominent industry professionals. What did you take away from your experience and how has it influenced you as you pursue this path in music? Dani: I was definitely one of those kids that wanted to be great at everything I did. The first time I was a part of a children's choir, I vividly remembering being like, "Oh. Wait. I don't ever want to be in a world where music isn't." I also was able to learn the ins and outs of a studio from a young age which was SO incredible for our careers today and taught me my insane LOVE for creating.

AO: Colton, you were featured on NBC’s The Sing Off. What did you take away from your experience and how has it influenced you as you pursue this path in music? Colton: Being on the show at such a young age was a blessing because it showed me of all the career paths that exist in the entertainment industry. In a sense it helped demystify it as a whole which ultimately gave me the courage to pursue it as a career.

AO: What is one important piece of advice you received on your journey as you pursue a career in music? Ni/Co: We think it’s so important to know in music that you have to keep grinding and never let the lows discourage you. We've felt some of the biggest hits since starting our music journey, but we've also seen that when we push through those moments, some of the best art comes out.

Amandah Opoku: I’ve been on your Instagram and see that you’ve done a number of covers. What’s one song you’ve covered that you wish you were the original artists of? Ni/Co: This question is so hard! We actually released a collection of said covers into an EP titled "Songs We Wish We Wrote" so lots of them! We both actually adore "Bleeding Love" which happens to be our very first cover on our YouTube channel. From the songwriting to the production to the performance by Leona Lewis - all of it inspires us. Additionally, we recently love “To Be Young” by Anne Marie and Doja Cat. We feel like it really nails on the head how we feel right now. We also LOVE “You Broke Me First” by Tate McRae!!

AO: You released your new single “Legend” on August 28th. What was the writing and recording process like for the track? Ni/Co: This was actually a non-conventional one! We write a lot of for film/TV music and this one was originally geared mostly towards that, but we felt we could really see our followers and listeners needing to hear a confidence boosting anthem in times like this! So recording it was all about just having fun and getting weird with the message.

AO: What inspired the story behind “Legend”? Ni/Co: When Dani wrote the song she was really just trying to feel like a badass. It was actually her birthday and she wanted to make a fun song that made her feel confident - Something that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It was really awesome to get the news that 'LA’s Finest' wanted to use the song as well because that show is all about uplifting boss women!

Amandah Opoku: “Legend” is currently being used to promote Season 2 of Spectrum's 'LA's Finest'. If you could create a soundtrack for any show or movie, what show would you choose and why? Ni/Co: We were obsessed with How to Get Away with Murder. We think the music in that show was SO cool and dynamic. We would have loved to be a part of that just because we were so invested and knew the characters and plot so well! It could go from deep dark cinematic feels to indie bouncy music and we love all of the in betweens!

Also during quarantine, we fell DEEP into Vampire Diaries! We both became emotionally invested in the characters and felt like they were our friends lol. We heard a rumor that a Season 9 is coming out. We would freak out if one of our songs was in that show!

AO: To date, what have been some of the challenges you’ve faced as you pursue a career in music? Ni/Co: One of the biggest challenges is finding a balance. Being an independent artist you have to book all your own shows, build relationships, book sessions, create your own content, write great songs, and try and create opportunities constantly. It can be super overwhelming knowing what to prioritize and to be on top of everything. Oh and also remember to enjoy life and breathe at the same time! Ultimately we just want to bring music to peoples' lives and hopefully joy comes with that.

Amandah Opoku: For new fans who come across your music, what would you like them to take away from your music? Ni/Co: One of the biggest driving forces behind why we do music is to bring people together. We want people to hear our music and feel a little bit of themselves in it. And in turn we hope it helps them see that they are more similar to other people than they may have thought. Whether it’s an emotional song that lets them know other people experience those same feelings, or an upbeat driving song ( like Legend) that makes people just want to move and dance with their friends, we want unity. One of our favorite things at concerts is the dismantling of beliefs, associations, etc and every single person dancing to the same song and feeling along with it.

Amandah Opoku: With “Legend” out now, what can fans expect from you next? Ni/Co: We are planning to keep releasing music whether it be originals or covers via our YouTube and Instagram page!

Amandah Opoku: In the next 5 years, what do you hope to achieve? Ni/Co: We hope to be able to tour the world and bring people together all over the planet through songs! We have such a fire to perform and build a whole production around our music, so we plan to do so as soon as we are able to!!

Connect with Ni/Co on the following websites: https://nicomusicofficial.com/ https://www.instagram.com/ni.co_official/ https://twitter.com/ni_co_official https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcleioHuL0TP47LU1BrVR6A
