So a while back I made two artigos about my favorito villains and why I like them specifically but what about the bad guys just makes them so enticing for me? Heck I may have even typed up an artigo like this before, but with a years later with a new perspective, alongside an updated list of my topo, início 25 fictional villains, I decided that it's time to reveal why I like the bad guys so much.

Top 25

Some of them are refromed or simply played an antagonistic role but are not super evil. Won't state which ones are reformed because spoilers.

1. Azula (Avatar)
2. Regina Mills (Once Upon A Time)
3. Bellatrix Lestrange (Harry Potter)
4. Nerissa (W.i.t.c.h)
5. Icy (Winx)
6. Isabella Gisborne (BBC's Robin Hood)
7. Kuvira (Korra)
8. Lust (Full Metal Alchemist)
9. Morgause (BBC's Merlin
10. Ming Hua (Korra)
11. Beatrice (Umineko)
12. Nehelenia (Sailor Moon)
13. Jadis (Narnia)
14. James Sawyer (Lost)
15. Zuko (Avatar)
16. Envy (Full Metal Alchemist)
17. Dracula (Van Helsing)
18. Lucius (Harry Potter)
19. Juvia (Fairy Tail)
20. Ultear (Fairy Tail)
21. Deidara (Naruto)
22. Zancrow (Fairy Tail)
23. Cora (Once Upon A Time)
24. Zelena (Once Upon a Time)
25. Phobos (W.i.t.c.h.)

The Why's

First and foremost I feel like 9/10 times, at least for me personally, the villains are always the most interesting and intriguing characters in the show/movie/book or wherever other medium you're looking at. For me they are the life blood of the show really.

But where does this allure come from? For me it comes in that fictional villains offer a look at the darkest side of human nature. They can get away with such despicable acts that people would never normally condone. Not only can they get away with it, but some people actually enjoy these heinous acts committed with in the world of fiction. For example; *Spoiler* Bellatrix killing Sirius and skipping away in song. People (who weren't fãs of Sirius) *End of spoiler* laughed at her little song.

Hell, I'd say for some people liking villains can even a release. I myself am a very quite, keeps-to-myself kind of person if you don't know me. Which is why strangers are surprised to hear me announce in class that I tend to like the antagonists. I feel as though me liking the baddies is a sort of expression of my dark side in a sense. And I feel like that's much healthier than embracing my dark side in other ways.

Going back to Bellatrix's method of killing Sirius, evil characters seem to offer so much room for a different kind of creativity. A twisted kind of creativity. Bella is a grown woman who acts like a child and practically sees murder as a game. How about the Saw movies. There are just so many ways to kill off a character and it's darkly fascinating to see what the author can come up with; how he/she molds his or her character to fit the types of crimes he/she is committing.

So then we come to motives. It's also loads of fun to see the villains' motives. What makes him or her tick? *Spoiler* Jigsaw was a man with a terminal illness, one that caused him to attempt suicide, which caused him to become fascinated with the human survival instinct. He wanted people to learn to not take life for granted. *End of Spoiler This creates for a very insanely cool motive. What about Voldemort, a man who believed that purging all muggle borns & half bloods was the way to go despite being one himself. Or the kind of villain that truly believes that he/she is in the right like Kuvira who simply didn't want her people to feel abandoned like she was. There are just so many possible motivations to work with and it's pleasurable to see how a good motivation with a terrifying execution method or the other way around, plays out. It's fun to see what kind of motivations can come into play and how the villain goes about achieving his or her desire.

This line of thought ties very easily into the sympathy aspect. Some bad guys just have/had it so rough you can't not feel a little bad. Take Regina for instance; *Spoiler* all this woman wanted was her true love. But because she saved little Snow White, her mother ripped her lover's coração out and crushed it. It was all down colina from there and she went on a vengeance spree that lasted well over 28 years. *End of Spoilers Or how about Azula and Zuko. Both of the royal siblings were royally screwed over por their parents in one way or another. Zuko was physically abused and Azula--sucked dry of all normal social functioning--was pretty much turned into a weapon/political tool for her father to use at his disposal. Or Isabella who was more spoilers sold por her brother, Guy, to a man who abused her physically and sexually. *End of Spoiler* All the woman wanted was an apology she never got. That not sympathetic enough? Morgause is an example of a villainess who thought she was in the right; in a land where her kind (the magical beings) were being persecuted *Spoiler* (she was ordered to be killed off as an infant) *is done spoiling* she wanted to kill the man doing the persecuting. Basically she just wanted to protect what remained of her kin. Frankly I thought the good guys behaved mais like the bad guys in BBC's Merlin.
Anyhow, examples aside, villains are perhaps the most sympathetic characters. And for that they really draw me in.

This kind of sympathy makes the evil guys and gals complex. And of curse is just one of many ways of creating a complex villain. But that's the seguinte point; for me the baddies are always the most complex characters. And complexity and depth are super important in a character. Because of the vast many motivations and the sympathy and the rest, there is just so much room to craft up such a well-built character.

But what about the villains that don't have elaborate back stories or motivations? Can they still be cool? I'd say of course. Bellatrix doesn't really have much of a backstory but her dark humor and quirky personality makes her a villain that is still just as enjoyable as the well-rounded characters like Regina and Azula.
With characters like, Icy it's fun to make up stories and fanfictions explaining why she does the evil she does since the creator doesn't really give her any back story or motivations. But if you're not a fã of doing that can a character like Icy be enjoyable? Again, I'd say yes. Sometimes it's just fun to watch a character who is an asshole (and let's face it, Icy's an asshole...so is Sawyer but that's getting off topic) just to be an asshole. Which for me plays back into the release of one's inner darkness.

So again, referencing back to Bellatrix and her dark humor; that's another reason why I tend to prefer the evil characters. They own the gallows humor. Minus Deadpool (if you can even call him one), heroes can't work that dark humor in quite the way that villains do. I mean we wouldn't laugh if Harry dropped a 'dead Sirius' joke (we'd probably think he's heartless), but Bellatrix could get away with it because she's Bellatrix. Sweeny Todd & Nellie Lovett are two mais villains offer some dark humor. I mean we have a woman cantar about cooking people into pies and a man calling his razors 'my friends'. And musically so. Only in theater does murder get musical. Only in fiction are we allowed to laugh at it. This dark humor can also help viewers cope with unpleasant situations por helping them poke fun at the situation itself.

On the other end you can have humor villains like Kronk from the Emperor's New Groove or Team Rocket from Pokemon. The kind of bad guys that make you laugh but not necessarily with gallows humor. Like when Kronk begins to speak squirrel. That's genuinely fun and light-hearted humor. Except it's from a villain, which makes it all the funnier. These kinds of villains prove that an author doesn't have to go full on 100% dark to create a likable villain.

How about the good guys who turn bad or the bad guys who turn good. It's simply interesting to watch them evolve and transform. Spoiler Take Isabella for example, she went from good to bad then to a mais neutral postion and then bad again. End of spoilers That was a real adventure IMO. What about characters like Nerissa who turned bad before her series began. That's also a fun one because you get to try to figure out the why's before they are answered in canon. Any time you get to see a character develop is neat.

And finally the villains hold the plot together. Even if you are an avid villain hater you gotta give kudos to them for allowing the series to happen. I mean what's the point of Harry Potter if Voldemort isn't trying to murder him? Sure a view of his wizarding world is fun for a while but I wouldn't read 7 books on just a boy attending a magical school with no problems. What's the point of watching The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe if the witch is missing? Then it's just a lion and a wardrobe and a lamp. The villains give the plot action, amor them or hate them, they keep the plot moving and the shows/books you amor alive.

So there ya have it people a list of terrible people, like actual trash, that I happen to amor and the reasons why I tend to obsess over those assholes. :D

Pretend powers-
1.) get some thin string that looks invisible.
2.) tie it to some thing like paper, a piece of cardboard or a card stock door sign.
3.) lightly tie other end of string to ur finger. Hold ur hand like zac from mako sereias does when he's using his powers.
4.) when people are looking, start to pull lightly while using ur "powers" to pull the object.
You can amaze people with this. I've wanted to do this stuff for a long time.
Moon pool-
1.) get a kiddie pool ( plastic or inflatable ).
2.) put rocks about 5 in. big around the side of the pool. ( if it's inflatable u don't have to do this. )
3.) fill pool with water and pack sand around the sides of the pool if u put rocks on the sides.
4.) put on ur tail and sit in the pool. Enjoy!!!
Thank u everyone for leitura this artigo and I hope it works for everyone that read it.

So my marvelous friend por the name of Kicksomebut23 just made an artigo on this club about why arguments on the internet often lead to pointless and annoying scenarios, and I'm here to review it because she wanted me to.

Also, I'm sorry if I talk kind of weird because it's pretty difficult to commentate when someone's holding a faca to your throat.

Kicksomebut23: KEEP GOING...... >:)

Jared: YES MASTER! D':

So uh, here you go?

"Yes, often on the internet, we have our ups and downs."

And our lefts, and our rights, and our diagonal up-lefts. XD

>Introduction

Yes, often on the internet, we have our ups and downs. Some people don't care for arguing, some people like to argue, and some people try to avoid arguments. I do not like arguing because, I feel like it's not worth my time and unnecessary. In this discussion, I will interpret reasons why arguing on the internet is not good. I'm not trying to force anyone to stop arguing on the internet. This your decision,rather if you do right or wrong.




1.Forcing or Arguing About Opinions

What is the point of arguing or forcing an opinion continuously? Opinions are just feelings that do not...

I made a new friend yesterday at my high school.His name is Anthony and we have some things in common which is great!
I'm so glad we met each other.Tomorrow I'll hang out with him again and maybe go to his place.He actually lives right across the rua from me.So that means we get to walk to school together!!

Friendship is a great thing in life,and I'm glad I have a new friend to be with and chat with.My mom and dad always knew I could do it and I also thought that I would meet someone.

You could also make a friend and maybe you have something in common with that person.And who knows maybe your new friend lives right por you,if not at least you still see them or talk to them. :)

Okay..
So. I saw this movie once.

I can agree much of the atuação is hard to take seriously.
But it's a lot better then people give it credit for..

The one thing that reached my attention when leitura the reviews of this movie.
Is that someone stated that using a "blonde" girl wasn't a good choice..

But here's why that upsets me so much.

A girl I knew, Dean. Was one of the most popular girls in my school (yes, she was blonde). Was struck por cyber bullying.
And you know what happened?
She killed herself!

Yeah.

My best friend, KILLED HERSELF!

So.
Yeah..

Now you know why I was effected so strongly por this movie..

And fuck cyber bullies!
Fuck them all!!
#1: The new MLP:
I never even heard of the new MLP at the time.
And when I was convinced into seeing it, por all those pictures on Facebook.
I can't say I enjoyed it.. In fact.. It was terrible.
But when I heard of all those so called "bronys" I figured to at give it an honest chance before truly judging it.
And the fact it had John De Lancie, only gave me mais reasons to keep giving it an honest chance..


#2: ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD:
I know what you think.
But no.
Discovering this guy had NOTHING to do with my friendship with Windwakerguy430.
It had to do with looking up Freddy Krueger's villain's...

Shadowfan here!

In case you all didn't know, today is my birthday. (Well, when i wrote this, it was still Aug 13th, now it's the 14th) 25 years atrás today, I made my way into this fascinating, yet dark and mysterious world we call: Earth. Over the years, I have learned a lot about the world around me. I've learn that there is not only evil here, but also good--even when it seems so lost and buried. Now, although today was a pretty good birthday, I'd like to take a moment out of this dia to talk about someone I know. Someone that left me too soon.

I don't talk about him much, but now I think it's...

My fav. Taylor song is encantada and this song always reminds me of my best frnd flightFlora.
This artigo is dedicated 2 her:

Lyric: "There I was again tonight forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tired, lonely place
Walls of insincerity"

This reminds me of the dia when i entered my new classroom, looking here and there and passing smiles. And i was searching 4 a frnd of mine who was not there anymore.

Lyric: "Shifting eyes and vacancy vanished when I saw your face
All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you
Your eyes whispered "have we met?
Across the room your silhouette starts to make it's...
