They really do put these things anywhere

[meganegatari]

just had an idea OMFG: ellie teaches you how to ice-skate. firstly, she'd help you do them up tightly, then hold your hand as you waddle to the rink, then upon stepping on the ice, she'd bite her lip and look away from you to hide her smirks because seeing you struggle was apparently hilarious to her. she'd hover behind you, hands outstretched, floating by the sides of your waist ready to catch you if you fall, "that's, it baby." she'd reassure you as you get the hang of it slowly, one foot after the other, knees bent, and arms out like wings. feeling ridiculous, yet glad she's there for you. but lemme be honest here for some reason i feel like she'd let you fall once, just once! to have a laugh, then pull you up by the wrists and apologize through chuckles. i also feel like she'd suddenly speed all the way in front of you, then look back with a cheeky grin, taunting, "you can't catch me!" sticking her tongue out too, but not in a mean way, but in a "we're both having fun" way, idk. then she would race back, spin around you while making sure to cover your brand new skates and bottom of your pants with ice shavings as she shows off her moves, then smoothly grabbing onto your waist and smiling at you-i need to stop with these ideas and just write a full length story...but had to jot this one down too lol.

Anti as the Pure Evil Villain Archetype

Ok guys before we start, the ground rules:

1. ANY AND ALL INTERPRETATIONS OF THE CHARACTER ARE VALID. This is just my thoughts/theories about canon Anti and the direction his character could go in. If you’re not a fan of that, that’s cool! I am not god, nor am I your mother, and my opinion only has the weight that you give it.

2. A lot of this was inspired and informed by Overly Sarcastic Production’s video on The Pure Evil Villain from their Trope Talk series. Go watch it, it’s great.

Cool? Cool.

ANYWAY-

Anti, right? We know next to nothing about his motivations, nor his backstory. What I’m arguing here is that, more or less, none of that matters.

The Pure Evil Villain is basically what it says on the tin. Throw out all of those corrupted paragons and complicated sad bois, pure evil villains are in it for the love of the game. Think basically any Disney villain, I’m gonna be using Bill Cipher as an example here. What is his backstory? Who knows! Why is he doing what he’s doing? Because it’s fun and because he can. He says it’s because his dimension is dying, but that’s barely an excuse and he knows it. Bill does what he does because he craves power and control over others. Sound familiar?

Back to this guy:

What we know for sure is that he craves two things: control and attention. Those are his ultimate goals. EVERYTHING he does is to accomplish one (or usually both) of those things. More or less all he’s done in the six or so years we’ve known him is take over people’s bodies and parade them in front of us, the audience. I argue that he pulled us out of the camera in Anomaly Found for the same purpose: to watch. He HAS to have an audience to adore and fear him.

Pure evil villains are defined by their very simple goals and motivations. Anti isn’t doing this for some ulterior motive, he’s doing this because it’s fun, because he’s a power hungry egomaniac. A lot of people seem to think that having a villain with simple goals and motivations is bad writing, but done well, it really isn’t! Tell me you aren’t entertained watching a Disney villain own the space, singing about how evil they are while cackling maniacally. These guys are FUN! They are pure charisma, pure confidence, and because of their very single minded goals, they are very dangerous.

These guys aren’t gonna have a change of heart. There is no redemption here. If the protagonists don’t get this villain out of the way, they’re fucked. However, due to their simple motivations/goals/worldview, the pure evil villain is rigid, meaning they’re liable to shatter like glass once their status quo is disrupted. Thus triggers the glorious

THIRD ACT BREAKDOWN!

Once that status quo is disrupted, all bets are off, and pure evil villain in question usually completely shatters. I think that Anti’s third act breakdown will come when someone, anyone, finally breaks through his control. So far, that hasn’t happened. Every single person he has possessed has lost that fight. As far as Anti is concerned, he is God. Thus, his breakdown would come when someone finally beats him, proves to him that he can lose.

I think Anti only has one fear: being puppeted like he does to everyone else. Being on the other end of those strings, entirely helpless, with no control over the situation. What happens when Anti truly and completely loses? For some villains, this is the end. For others, they pull themselves out of the ashes even worse and more dangerous than they were before. Which way will Anti swing here?

I’m so excited to find out.

G U Y S ITS HAPPENING

[meganegatari]

OK IMAGINE. you go to ellie's house for a sleepover, and she hands you the silliest looking star wars pajamas to wear, and a matching set meant for couples at that- you accept them lovingly, feeling honored the two of you are matching, but also feeling a little funny because they're the geekiest things you've ever seen....i need to find a pic or something that looks like what i'm imagining rn LMAO should write a proper drabble with this idea too oop

[meganegatari]

for some reason whenever i take a seat to write properly at my desk, it comes out utter shite. but then when im laying in bed typing away on my phone(and make it the dead of night just for a bit of added spice), the inspiration just comes much easier. dunno why that could be. anywayyyy ideas and scenarios for future parts of hallwaycrush!ellie are definitely welcomed, the blurb i put out has been received so well, and i wanna continue writing her & that little universe for y’all!

[meganegatari]

gonna die if I don't get an eyebrow piercing soon I NEED IT AAAAA

I was really upset last night and started watching Jack’s Minecraft series to cheer myself up, it’s actually really entertaining, I haven’t been really engrossed in one of Jack’s series’ in awhile, it’s nice
