one of my favorite things in fiction is when one of the villains realizes the error of their ways and joins (or is forcibly adopted into) the hero team but refuses to change their aesthetic to match the rest of the group so it’s like
or even better, when there’s a team of villains and all of them are your typical card-carrying tall dark and edgy bastards in long black trench coats and leather boots except for one who chooses to wear the silliest, frilliest, outfit you’ve ever seen in your life so it’s all the more shocking for everyone when they turn around and stab a guy in the chest because they live for the drama, and it’s like
oh and

Fuck, that’s actually true: “Mr Kissinger, who allegedly orchestrated the mass bombing in Cambodia in 1969 and in Vietnam and Laos in the 1970s as secretary of state under Richard Nixon…was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973 for his efforts to conclude the Vietnam War. The award was described by critics as a move which ‘made political satire obsolete’. The Vietnam war was not over until 1975.”
The critic who said that was Tom Lehrer, who was known for political and social satire music (I highly recommend you look him up, he’s hilarious) and it actually did cause him to just.. stop.
I’ll always defer to Anthony Bourdain on the topic:
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.
