I’m getting more ambitious with my plant witch gifs!
Antagonists are tricky. Too little work, and the antagonist comes across flat. A flat antagonist is easy and boring, because he or she won’t push the protagonist hard enough. Plus there’s that practice of making fleshed out characters and having interesting three-dimensional people, blah blah.
We all know the saying: Every villain is his own hero. Though I wrote these questions and prompts with famous antagonists in mind, you could actually pose them to your protagonist or other characters (just switch out the protagonist-themed questions for antagonist-themed) and it will still work.
I’ve always found it most helpful to answer questionnaires in my character’s voice, so I have written this addressing your antagonist directly. Try to answer in the way he or she would. You’ll uncover hidden backstory, depth, and softness in your antagonist.
But remember – even something “soft” (like empathy) can be a terrible motivator.
Your Antagonist’s Backstory
Hurting people hurt others. What hurt you?
When was the first time you were frightened by something you did?
When was the first time you experienced pain?
What is the most painful thing you have ever gone through?
Do you have a mentor, or someone you’ve modeled yourself after? Who is it, and why are they so compelling?
Have you killed anyone? Who was the first person you killed? (Alternatively: Who is the person you’ve hurt most?)
When did you feel the most humiliated by someone else?
Tell me about a time you faced rejection.
Is there something you’ve said or done you wish you could take back?
Who (or what) do you miss?
What’s one thing you can never forgive? (Could be an event in the past, or a character trait like lying.)
When did you feel the most accomplished or successful?
When have you felt helpless?
What was the first lie you told? What do you lie about most often?
Your Antagonist’s Habits
What do you do to relax?
Where do you go when you want to feel like you belong? If you can’t get there, where would you like to go?
What do you like to read? What shows do you watch?
What do you daydream about?
What is your weapon of choice? How did you learn to use it?
When you feel uncomfortable, what do you do to cover it up?
What sort of clothes do you wear? Would you make changes to your wardrobe if you could?
Do you have any unusual or advanced skills?
How do you like to approach a problem?
Your Antagonist’s Personal Life
Who are your parents? Do you have any siblings? Are they still alive?
Who (or what) is one person (or thing/ideal) you would never harm?
Who (or what) do you love? Would you call it love?
What is one secret you’ve never told anyone? Would you consider revealing it to another character? If so, who?
What lie do you tell yourself?
What is one silly thing you’re afraid of?
Tell me about your dream vacation.
What is one fault in others you just can’t stand?
What type of people do you like to be around (if any)?
What about you do you feel other people misunderstand?
Do you like kids? What about animals?

some amy sketches i never got around to posting - except for the top right one as a close-up - so here’s the whole thing :)
Do you have an opinion on unsolicitedly trying to encourage other artists? I've seen your great post on confidence and I suffer from it as everyone, but I see artists who go and tag "shit" on every piece of art they post and it reminds me of how badly I used to mistreat me. ButI'm trying to figure out if it's not my "place" to try and encourage someone in a creative community to not treat themselves badly, or if self-esteem on a personal blog is too personal to say something without being asked.
This took a couple of reads for me to understand, but basically you’re asking if you feel it’s appropriate to tell unconfident/insecure creators to believe in themselves, right? Which is a pretty decent question, and worth talking about.
First, it’s never your place to take on someone else’s problems as your own. So accept the fact right now that you can’t save anyone from themselves. This isn’t a movie or a tv show, things don’t wrap up neatly at the end just because someone comes along to say the Right Thing.
Second, once you’ve accepted that, that’s all the more reason to say good things. Paying compliments and respect to someone you admire is you simply being honest about the good thoughts you feel toward their work or person. You’re expressing what you feel, which happens to be lovely and kind words, which is always nice to hear by anyone.
Third, if you want to encourage them to be less harsh on themselves, semantics is imperative here. If you make things into an order (i.e. “don’t be so hard on yourself”), you’ll likely be dismissed, ignored, or outright resented, and high chance they’ll use it to beat themselves up because it’s like they’re failing at something so simple. However, if you word things as reaffirmations of value, it could potentially make a lasting impact (”i.e. I see you be hard on yourself a lot, so I want you to know that I think you’re wonderful and I’ve admired your work and it makes my day so much happier! Please know I think you’re great!”)
I think the important distinction here is to remember another person has the freedom to be a version of themselves you don’t agree with. Insecurity, anxiety, depression – these are all qualities that create that version of someone you want to see changed. Don’t try to change them. The best you can do is offer your own honesty, and just offer support and good words whenever they feel crippled, and they can take it or leave it. They’re on their own journey as much as you’re on yours. Please remember you can’t save yourself through other people.
But I will also say, it’s possible to find yourself through how you act with other people. It can change someone’s life just hearing they have value in making someone else’s day positive. That their existence has meaning. And it’s small sentiments like that can help build more value, in the other person and yourself. I mean, you’re validating yourself as someone who can say kind things to others. YOU helped make someone else’s day a bit happier too. And that’s always valuable.
Hello! A lot of you have been asking me where and how I’ve learn multiple languages and well, after a few hours of digging through my browser history and bookmarks, I was able to collect all of these resources. I have personally used all of these, so I can assure you they are useful! If there is something wrong with a website or a link, please let me know. Also, if you have any questions or if you want a learning buddy, my ask box is open. (I speak English and Spanish. I’m learning Korean, German, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Italian, and Esperanto)
Note: Learning a new language requires a lot of dedication, more than you actually think! Especially if you’re learning multiple languages at the same time. It isn’t impossible, but it will take time. And by time I mean months and/or years! So please, be patient. Take your time. Don’t rush. Keep in mind that you will mess up and that’s okay. Practice as much as you can. Practice out loud. Talk to yourself if you can. It doesn’t matter if people think you’re crazy. They won’t be thinking the same when you become a polyglot, so don’t mind them. This is for you and your future.
