My Villain Origin Story
When I was a kid, I was very sheltered.
I didn't realize exactly how much, until I was older.
I was kept safe.
I was quiet.
Movies and TV shows were my window.
Drawing pictures was my outlet.
Which was fine.
But also...
I didn’t know how the world worked.
Didn't know a lot of common knowledge things.
Didn't know how big the world truly was.
Didn’t even know you were even allowed to say “no tomato on my burger, please.”
On my eighteenth birthday a friend wanted to take me to another town to go to a huge shopping centre.
I called my mum to ask permission.
My mum was about to say no...
Until my older sister grabbed the phone off my mum and told me to go.
I think I was 21 when my mum said "You know what? I don't think I want you watching this show." It was Two and Half Men. I had already seen many episodes.
I didn't know...
Didn’t know the rules were bendable, breakable, up for debate and negotiation...
And sometimes?
That the rules were completely made up.
So now?
I'm starting from blank.
I’m building an empire.
That's why I'm VanillaBlankCanvas.
No sprinkles, no toppings, no scribbles, no rough sketches.
Starting from blank.
And now I will do everything.
This is for the ones who were quiet.
The ones who didn’t get the manual.
We build our own map.
We build our own empire.
Together.
When we start at zero.
We have everything to gain.
