PICK A CARD : What your dreams are trying to tell You? 💭🔮

Reblog the Pile you picked and what resonated to claim these energies and messages. :)

Masterlist -Paid Readings-Paid Readings Reviews-PAC Readings

Choose your pile intuitively. Take what resonates and leave the other things. If you think this reading is not for you then choose another pile. If still it doesn't resonate then this might not be your reading. There are Three Piles.You can also pick multiple piles too if you are drawn to them.

Pile 1

Hello, Pile 1! You may be dreaming about a Man or a person with a lot of masculine energy. This could be talking about someone significant coming towards you, and your dreams are trying to tell you about this. If you are not interested in romance, this could be someone who is your soulmate, like a friend or a platonic soulmate. But they will be very significant in your upcoming journey.

Your dreams are also sort of giving you a warning to love yourself more. At this moment of your life, you could be a lot self-critical and over-perfectionistic, but this habit is draining your energy. Pile 1, You need to rest and take care of yourself. Eat some greens, take yourself on a romantic date, go to the cafe you lost the most, have a glass of wine and gift yourself whatever you want. The gesture doesn't matter..only the intentions do. Please take care of your inner child, too.

Your dreams are a messenger to you, signifying a big blessing coming towards you soon,pile 1. It might be related to do something with a community. Again, dear, the message of giving yourself to have fun and lots of fun is coming through strongly here. Have a good rest, and take care of yourself.

If you liked the reading, book a personal reading with me or you could leave a tip for the reader.

Pile 2

Hello, Pile 2! You might be dreaming about something related to your spiritual journey or awakening, or you might be seeing a lot of prophetic or spiritual dreams. Your guides/ancestors or a deity is connecting with you in your dreams, giving you some hints related to your spiritual path. This is a very crucial time for you, and you might be going through intense transformations and they are here to guide you and to support you through your dreams. Pay attention to the symbols you see in your dreams and you could even write them somewhere to keep a record of them.

Your dreams are encouraging you to take action towards your desires. You could be feeling stuck in your life and feeling your life is more stagnant than others. Your dreams are firstly asking you to try to stop comparing your life with others and secondly, they are absolutely guiding you towards your destination, but they are also asking you to enjoy your current journey. Move towards your passion even if it means little steps everyday. You don't have to move mountains; just try not to exhaust yourself.

Lastly,my spiritual pile...a Gateway is opening for you. The gateway card after taking action card, makes sense now, doesn't it? You are moving and getting away from the things that don't mean anything for you now, and spirits are already guiding you there. Try to have more faith in the universe and trust yourself more. You are about to be there. Crossing the bridges and reaching the other side.

If you liked the reading, book a personal reading with me or you could leave a tip for the reader.

Pile 3

Hello, Pile 3! You might be about your current situation or some people involve in this situation. The situation might be related to something or someone who did you wrong in the past. Even though you might have moved on, their energy might be lingering in your dreams. But your dreams are asking you to be more strategic toward handling that situation or those people. It's also a sort of warning that some people might be planning something against you, and you need to be careful about it. I heard something related to a work environment,t and the timings could be near around 3-6 months. Anyways, please take whatever resonates with you and take care of yourself.

Next, your dreams might be asking you to simplify your life more or declutter your space. Your environment could be messy or you could be dealing with messy emotions currently but they are asking you to try to let go of the emotions and clean your mess(esp at home). The mess and your old things that don't hold any meaning for you are stopping your blessings from coming into your life. So please take care of it and donate/throw away the things you don't need anymore.

Lastly, recently, you might have dreamt about something very symbolic that is related to your career/ambitions. It was sort of a good omen or a kind of like a prophetic dream that something is going to come into your life...even if it's a small thing ,it will give you the fulfillment you are looking for. For timings, I heard this Spring. Also, your dreams are asking you to practice more gratitude for what you already have to multiply your blessings this year.

If you liked the reading, book a personal reading with me or you could leave a tip for the reader.

Thank you and Love, Infinity

Do you have any tips on how to create a villain?

Hi :)

How to create a villain

A good villain is ultimately what makes a hero heroic and is therefore a very important part of your story.

Why do we need a villain?

opposite of the story’s hero

their goals and motivations oppose those of the hero

the hero is reacting to the actions of the villain

showcases the hero’s weaknesses

the character of the villain should be one of your priorities while planning the story

Types of villains

human villains

fantasy villains (with magical abilities, superpowers, etc.)

animal villains (e.g., Jungle Book)

abstract villains (an idea, a society, a corporation, etc.)

if you make your villain more abstract, it can have advantages, but it also makes it harder for your readers to relate to them and understand them

if you have an abstract villain, think about using human representations of that villain for your readers to project their feelings and thoughts onto

more specific types of villains:

likeable villain

unsympathetic villain

unpredictable villain

Characteristics of a villain

There are many different types of villains, but they also share a few similar characteristics:

own beliefs and morals – What do they believe in? What is morally correct for them? Do they see themself as bad/evil? How far will they go? Do they make exceptions for some people or do they not care at all? Maybe they want to do the right thing, but they go about it the wrong way.

goals and motivation – goals are things they want to have or want to accomplish, but motivation is even more important, it explains why they want or need their goal to be fulfilled, you need to invest time into giving your villain a (at least for them) plausible reason for what they are doing

connection to the hero – the hero reacts to the villain’s actions, maybe their fates are intertwined, maybe the hero’s actions in the past led to them becoming the villain, the villain is interrupting and then furthering the hero’s character development the same way the hero is doing to the villain’s development

worthy opponent – being especially powerful, clever, a specialist in something the hero is not, seemingly unbeatable until the end

compelling backstory – people are usually not born bad, it’s something they’ve become over time, it explains the motivation, probably not just one defining moment, if you want one event that changed them, then also think about the reactions from others to that event or what happened afterwards that made them turn evil

similar characteristic to the hero – think about where it went wrong, where did they turn to the dark side? Like I said before, a tragic event does not automatically lead someone to become a villain. Losing their parents young for example can turn them either into the villain or the hero, decide why they turned in that direction that they did

More tips:

Make your villain interesting

your reader should love to hate, but also hate to love them in a way

give them their own character arc and show development

make them special the same way your hero is special

give them a magnetic personality

don’t make them too predictable or the readers will lose their fear of them

Humanise your villains

not born evil, maybe they were corrupted

nothing more frightening than seeing yourself in a villain

give them positive qualities

make the readers sometimes sympathise with them

give them moments of relatability

your readers should be interested in the villain, but not necessarily root for them (only if that’s your true intention), because it could undermine your hero’s actions and motivation

Make them lose

If your story doesn’t end with evil ruling over the world, you need to know how to make the villains lose:

give them weaknesses

let them be a slave to their own moral code

let them have fatal character flaws that in the end the basically defeat themself

give them a worthy ending, something appropriate for a great opponent

Good luck creating believable villains!

Writing Villains: (Also Striker Strikes Back Spoilers)

Here are some tips and tricks to writing a solid, and terrifying Villain ;) Or any kind really.

They might sound like things ya’ll already know, so I hope that’s okay! But maybe some of you will still like these tips anyway :)

1) What scares you in a villain? Write it—and if their actions are less scary to you later in the story, push it more—just be aware of what lines you want to cross.

2) Do you want your Villain to stay likeable?

Example: (SSB) I wanted to keep Vox likeable, so I had him bond with Moxxie and overall be caring to those that are on his good side—however, we are aware he’d still kill or be vicious if he needs to be. He can obviously be an ass, but we still see him protect people he has chosen to care about.

Example: (Unlikable) Valentino—I wanted to keep him unredeemable, so naturally, My goal has been to make him as nasty and evil as I can—I want him to stay disliked—but I kept him smart, and calculated, to make his vileness even worse—and to keep him as a valid villain—he is controlling and manipulative—so I tried to keep up with it and make him as mean as could be.

3) Treatment of Victims—Villains have favorites and least favorites—we’ll talk more about Valentino—I have him somewhat baby Moxxie, but he’s more Brutal to Vox and Angel—now, I’m not saying it’s cuz Moxxie is his favorite—that’s most likely Angel—but a really scary villain will have different methods for controlling each person in their web—he manipulated each victim in a unique way all their own—and THAT I feel, is what helps keep Val so scary in SSB—he KNOWD his victims...and he knows how to keep them close...

4) Complexity—Even if you want your villain to stay absolutely hated, just like a likeable villain, they should have some complexity to them—give them just as many flaws and strengths as you would a protagonist or a likeable characters. I’ll still be using Valentino as my example since ya’ll have seen how I write him—He is strong in his use of manipulation, but in recent chapters, we’ve seen in start to crumble as his world of control begins to unravel—he’s dependent on this control, and for his strengths to be targeted, we see more of his weaknesses emerge.

5)Dialogue—What words and use of language chill you? What tones of voice would Creep you out to listen to? Write that. Give your designated scary villain the voice of your own nightmares and role with it—However, you don’t HAVE to scare yourself—I personally enjoy writing Valentino, even though I don’t condone what he does—you don’t have to be miserable while writing them—however, while creating him as a villain is fun in that aspect, lots of times I’ve had to step away from what I’ve had him do—so having moments of both “Wow I wrote such a creepy scene” and “Yikes I wrote such a creepy thing???” Is good! It’s well-balanced to enjoy the darkness of your villain, as well as sometimes needing a break from their nastiness. It doesn’t make you sick to enjoy that you can write something scary—we obviously don’t condone it lol.

6) Study other Villains—Maybe my biggest tip: read books and watch shows with villains you would like to take inspiration from! That has helped me a lot for sure. Study their mannerisms, and what it is that makes people take them seriously as a terrifying antagonist.

Hoped you liked all the tips! I was in the mood to share :)
