[salhasanacidtrip]

For all the folks who have read Linked, how do we feel about Jordie x Micheal? Do we ship it?? I certainly do they’re silly

[minor-annoyance]

we don't ask why this is long, it is 12am for me rn

Ranking every Gordon Korman antagonist/who I consider an antagonist by motive, actions, and themselves. SPOILERS.

(I am still reading The Super Teacher project so Schooled, Pop, and Swindle antagonists are not included)

Aaron Hakimian (Restart)

Bear Bratsky (Restart)

Ivory Novis (Unplugged)

Jaeger Devilin (The Fort)

Marcus Sciutto (The Fort)

Mr. Wolfson (WhatsHisFace)

Pamela Bynes (Linked)

Mr. Grime’s twin brother (Snoop)

Bearnie Maggot (Born To Rock)

(I know this doesn’t seem like a lot but that’s because The Super Teacher Project and Old School don’t have any CLEAR antagonists, sure there’s Jackson in Old School but he’s not that much of a antagonist, he doesn’t want to HURT Dexter, just get him out of the grade and into a higher one, THAT’S BASICALLY A WIN WIN, Dexter is still in school, and Jackson gets the thing Dexter took from him without knowing, fame)

Anyways, here’s the ranking:

1: Ivory Novis from Unplugged: Absolute LEGEND, I hate what she was doing, BUT GODDAMN IT SHE’S AMAZING. Ivory is amazing because she’s one of the staff of the Oasis, she holds this special meeting with the parents that are staying there with their children (unlike Jett’s father, cough cough neglectful ass), she uses this pen with a light to hypnotize or in other words, manipulate them into giving her more money. She also has this part of an island that’s near the Oasis where she has this illegal breeding farm, WITH ALLIGATORS. When she sees Jett, she captures him and tries to manipulate him with the pen. She gets arrested at the ned of the book. I love her because she doesn’t actually care about the children, the parent, or the Oasis itself, all she cares about is HERSELF. Selfish villains are always amazing because they know they can do better, but they don’t want to, that makes her the top.

2: Bearnie Maggot from Born To Rock. I absolutely LOATHE THIS MAN. The way we figure out he’s a clear antagonist, is not by what he’s doing to Leo, no he treats Leo neutrally, but here’s thing. The book sets it up that Leo’s scholarship to Harvard is taken away from him all because he defended Owen he was cheating, the reason why Leo and Owen’s test papers look the same is because Leo was tutoring him. But the principal won’t listen because he wants Leo to say “Yes, Owen cheated.” Because the principal doesn’t like Own, because Owen is gay. Then, a few days later, he figures something out, his actual dad is the King Maggot, the lead guitarist/singer of the band Purge. His mom tells him how they met, her friends invited her to go to a concert, they were able to meet the band members, they she was drugged. BUT HERE’S THE TWIST, the mom wasn’t drugged by King Maggot, no he wouldn’t do that, it was Bearnie. Bearnie is his actual biological father. THE WHOLE REASON HE’S TAGGING ALONG HIS OLD ASS SELF WITH HIS OLD ASS UNCLE, IS NOT BECAUSE HE JUST WANTS TO BE BAND MANAGER, IT’S BECAUSE OF WOMEN. THIS IMPLIES THAT LEO’S MOM WASN’T THE ONLY WOMAN HE’S EVER VICTIMIZED. In another scene in the book, he tries to get Melissa, who’s just turned 18 just like Leo and Owen, to go to his room. It doesn’t work because Leo punches him in the face. The motive is so simple yet sickening, AND HE GETS TO GET AWAY WITH IT! The only reason why he’s not number one is because he didn’t get any karma nor lesson in the entire book. Also I hate him.

Pamela Bynes, oh I hate her alright, she’s racist bitch. When Lincoln sprayed that Nazi symbol, only knowing it meant hate but not the actual reason, he was doing that to piss off his father. But Pamela, she continued to spray and put the nazi symbol everywhere, knowing DAMN well what it meant. When she gets caught, she doesn’t even feel sorry, she’s just mad that….I actually forget but I do remember she was upset because a stupid ass thing. Later when Lincoln got caught, she immediately called him and said “You and I are the same person.” MANIPULATED HIM, BASICALLY TELLING HIM THAT JUST BECAUSE THE MOTIVE WASN’T THE SAME AND HOW HE DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT IT BEING THAT HATEFUL, DOESN’T MATTER BECAUSE HE STILL SPRAYED IT. She keeps going on about how they’re both misunderstood, Lincoln hangs up and that’s the last we hear from her. At the end of the book, it’s said she and her family are moving away. Her motive is just hate, it’s also simple but a motive that drive people to do insane things!

Jaeger Devlin, I cannot describe this 16 year old in a very simple way, you literally have to read the book to grasp why he’s so evil. He isn’t complex, he isn’t cool, he’s like Ivory Novis, BUT MUCH MUCH WORSE. Why is he in 4th place then, because I don’t like him, not one bit, I like Ivory, and I don’t like him. H’s selfish, when he hears the group of Evan gaining money, he makes sure he gets his way. He would occasionally stalk them, follow them around. He used blackmail of Mitchell pissing on his ex Therapists plants as pay back. He showed up at Ricky’s house and forced him to tell him everything. He had a sidekick as well, but this sidekick is nothing like him, just a puppet, controlled by a man the puppet thinks has power. Luke Donnelly, Evan’s big brother. Luke doesn’t know how to stand up against Jaeger, so he just follows him, when Luke does try to stand up against Jaeger, Jaeger threatens Luke like in a chapter, Jaeger is smashing Luke and Evan’s grandma’s prized things onto the ground. Jaeger tells them to tell their grandmother it was them who did it, not Jaeger. So Luke and Evan both comply. This man uses his power and the fear from people to always get his way. This man genuinely scares me. I’m happy he got arrested at the end.

Aaron and Bear, these two, they’re my ogs, they are legendary in their own way. They may be friends with Past Chase, but when they see current Chase slipping away from them, they immediately get pissed. They frame him, and when Chase tries to return the Medal of Honor, they make sure he doesn’t do that. They’re selfish, but the reason they’re fifth is because, I actually have pity for them. Don’t get me wrong, I hate what they did to Chase and to everyone else, but seeing it from their perspectives, they’re just sad that their friend isn’t their friend anymore. Aside that I don’t have pity for them for other things, instead of talking it out, they just go “fuck it, WE BALL.” And hurt everyone including Chase, just to keep Chase within their grasp. They’re selfish, but also pretty cool, but both of them are dumbasses.

Marcus, I’m gonna keep this short because I hate this guy, he’s the abusive step father of CJ, he abuses both CJ and his wife/CJ’s mother. He has anger issues and has a different personality when not abusing them. When he’s in his happy state, he buys things for CJ to keep him shut. I don’t like this guy, he doesn’t go to jail either, but I’m happy CJ and his mother were able to escape him.

Mr. Wolfson, I consider him a villain yes, but only to Cooper and Roddy’s eyes. To Cooper and Roddy, Mr. Wolfson is a threat because one, he’s rich, and two, he holds the original copy of Barnabas and Urusla (idk how to spell her name). But to his eyes, he’s not really. Let’s say, this is just hypothetical, I have this room full of Restart things, I own the original copy of the first printed version of Restart. Some random ass kid steals it from me, what am I gonna do, get pissed and have a high speed chase? Hell yeah.

Mr. Grime’s twin brother, okay yes he smuggled in these endangered animals, some of them got out and terrorized the town, like that Snow Leopard. But like, that’s it. There’s nothing to him, he’s just a villain, but not a real villain to Carter, he doesn’t even know who Carter is so, that’s about it.

Btw, just because they’re low doesn’t meant mean I hate them, I will state if I hate them or not

WOOAAASHJJJJJJHHHHH

yesyesyesyes I agree with all of em

I actually got a list of my own!!!! (not ranked):

Jennifer Del Rio from Slacker because she gathered the ENTIRE graduating high school class, INCLUDING siblings of the middle schoolers to go destroy all of the 11-13 year old kids hard work. She even kidnapped Cameron like twice. And she almost killed a beaver by not allowing anyone else to help it!!

M*rcus from The Fort is an abusive piece of shit

I'm pretty sure Somerset Wolfson III from Whatshisface almost kills Cooper to get a piece of paper back

Pamela Bynes from Linked is a Nazi who still believes she's right

Dylan Turner from No More Dead Dogs practically destroyed Wallace's life bc he didn't like that Wallace quit the team. He convinced the entire drama club that Wallace is messing up the play, and when when Wallace ultimately quits the team because he never really liked being on it, Dylan destroys the play!!! He not only destroys the sets, but literally blows up the stuffed dog on stage. That could've hurt people!! To make it worse, his own sister is on the casting. The one closest to the blown up doll!

Bryce Bergstrom and Peter Tolenski from Notorious stalked a 12 year old girl's house, killed her dog, and almost killed her and her friend (also 12 year old)

DeAndre from The Juvie Three has robbed stores countless times, dared Terence to push a homeless woman in a fountain in the cold, and I think tried killing the juvie three near the end

I didn't go as in depth as you though!!!! Good job!! ^_^

Other honorable mentions that were already chosen: Aaron Hakimian, Bear Bratsky, Ivory Novis, Zach Powers

Ivory Novis is like. The best antagonist ever.
