Write a villain who is terrifying not just because of what they do, but because they almost convince us they’re doing the right thing.
This is not just a prompt, it’s good writing advice.
It has to be “almost” or else your just writting about the hero.
This.
Or someone who outwardly conforms to conventions of mundane respectability so that their evil becomes frightfully banal, which is a different kind of horror altogether because it is one that we don’t see because it is a kind of bigotry that has been “normalized”.
A+ and A++ Additions!!!!
that’s a quote guys. “the villain is the hero of his own story”
wait daenerys is a villain? she has more right to the throne than that lannister bitch.
