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

more lefty practice- two TPoH characters who will appear in the not too vastly distant future (when I start drawing the comic again at least)
they’re really more like BG characters but I always get too invested in everyone and give them names and little backstories that nobody will ever know sob
Okay so Bec did this genius ‘what do your characters smell like’ thing and darned if it isn’t the most charming idea so I’m getting in on that because I’m bored and need to rest my hand from drawing
- Arthur: Earl Grey tea and gunpowder (he’s often a bit singed)
- Mesi: honey- girl puts it on everything
- Fox Song: earth and salt
- Hero: grass cuttings
- RGB: pennies and ozone
- TOby: that toy you hugged so much as a kid that it started to smell like you
- Dial: leather and that 'new car’ smell
- Assok: fresh laundry mmm yeah
- Julienne: sugar and chocolate
- Melody: wood and rosin (slightly pine scented!)
