tbh the people i’ve met who really empathize with villains are people who have been villainized in their own lives and unjustly made to feel like they’re bad people by those around them. They doubt themselves and instinctively want to support disliked and obviously flawed characters, characters doomed to fail, and attempt to find the good in those characters that no one in their own lives see in them.
real evil people don’t relate to villains, they see themselves as the hero. :\
This really holds to my theory that the best villains are played by actors who are genuinely good people. Compare Jared Leto’s abominable work as the Joker to the villainous prowess of Vincent Price, Anthony Hopkins, Mark Hamill, and my BAE Wentworth Miller.
Good people know what villainy is, so they know how to portray it. Bad people don’t.
Reblogging again for this commentary
Hi I'm gonna try and be polite but this makes me wanna throw up so...uh, Junkrat is 25, and Roadhog is 48, so that relationship is considered to be pedophilia. And I didn't mean to see your art, Blizzard said they'd crack down on porn of their characters, those two are included. I'm sorry, I can't change you from drawing them sexually, but it's kinda disgusting???
miss me with that ‘weapon accuracy’ shit. im shooting everything. im laying down cover fire. im shooting the walls. im shooting my teammates. im shooting myself. my accuracy is 100% yall just dont know what im aiming at
Step one: let him hide or shy away from you if he wants to. He wouldn’t let me touch him for a couple days after we got back from the shelter. His comfort was more important than me getting to touch him.
Step two: make yourself nonthreatening. In my case this meant being very quiet, bringing food and lying down on the ground within his eyesight as an invitation to investigate.
Step three: watch his body language and don’t do things that make him uncomfortable. Turns out my cat often bit when he was overstimulated so I made sure not to overwhelm him.
Step four: draw lines, but not with brute force. Even though his biting wasn’t meant to hurt, I wanted to make sure he wouldn’t injure anyone in the future. So I decided when he bit me, I’d yelp “ow!” And then withdraw all physical contact for a few minutes, sometimes leaving the room. Now he never bites, but sometimes he puts his teeth on my hand and then thinks better of it.
Step five: provide a good outlet for destructive behaviors. Aka PLAY WITH HIM, SEVERAL TIMES A DAY.
Step six: be patient.
Step seven: get lucky and somehow pick up the best cat in the entire shelter. I don’t know how it happened but he’s a godsend. He’s literally cuddled me out of a panic attack. We both really needed each other.
Hey, this post may contain sexually explicit content, so we’ve hidden it from public view.
I was recently hired
by a small local library to help with advertising the events they held. I was
surprised at how many great things they sponsored, since I live in the area and
had never heard of any of them. The first one I went to, two people showed up
outside the library staff.
Me: Well,
whatever ads you were putting out before aren’t very effective. What have you
been doing to get the word out?
Client: We put
out a sign in front of the library the day before and of the event.
Me: Okay, what
else?
Client: That’s
it.
Sure enough, as I was
leaving I spotted a 3'x3’ sign standing in front of the library. It wasn’t even visible from the main road.
I guess this means
they’re actually perfect clients because
I can really help them out, but I still can’t believe it.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
