#to the point they just decide to embrace their assigned role bc clearly everyone was always right about them anyway

On a lighter, less cranky note, I wonder what kind of "villain fucker" I am
'cause I don't think I line up with anything "typical", admittedly--
#“i can fix him!” ehhh...#“he did nothing wrong!” ehhh...#“he did everything wrong and that's sexy!” ehhh...#though i feel like lots of people would identify me as a “he did nothing wrong!” type just because i am#very much addicted to tragedy with “nobody will let me be anything better so i give up on trying” and redemption#villains with the inherent assumption there's nothing else and nothing better for them#villains that have been battered down and treated as a freak and a monster time and time and time again#to the point they just decide to embrace their assigned role bc clearly everyone was always right about them anyway#and they still do terrible horrible things ofc. they do#but the redemption process is far less about fixing them and more about telling them “hey you have a new option now”#“it's me if you want me”#“and im not going to go away”#and the villain gets to fix themselves and admit what parts of their actions bother them and also that some actions#even ones that seem really really bad#either DONT bother them at all or bother them in a way that is different from the “accepted norm”#and then they still get to be weird and fucked up AND still be loved#bc maybe their brain works a bit differently#maybe parts of their worldview is permanently formed in a “bad” way#because they were born different. because they were taught or raised different.#because their experiences left them with scars. because they're themselves and cant be anyone else.#i've realized it's probably a bit of a perverse cathartic fascination because it heavily relates to my experiences growing up#but also even before i had The Traumas i was still obsessed with villains so...#(im not saying perverse cathartic fascination as a bad thing btw. being perverse is incredibly fun for me)#unrelated to those prev posts im scrolling through friend blog for funsies
