best betrayal-adjacent trope go

I was secretly evil all along mwahaha

I was secretly evil (just kidding I'm setting up to backstab the bad guy)

I was secretly evil until we became real friends and now I don't know what to do

I'm betraying the group because I legit think it's the right thing to do

I'm betraying your evil nemesis but that doesn't make us friends

I'm betraying your evil nemesis and that absolutely makes us friends

I have been brainwashed and now we must fight until I'm cool again

You really hope I was brainwashed but I'm actually doing this on purpose

Villain betrays other villain and somehow created way more problems out of it

Local antagonist cannot stop betraying, inexplicably keeps getting chances to

what's the best bad guy character development

classic third-act deranged breakdown

unfortunately I have somehow developed Morals

yes I'm still evil yes I have a kid now

an even worse villain was really awful to me can I join your club now :(

stop adopting me I am very evil

the sunk cost fallacy is eating me alive but it's cool we're cool I'm cool

my villainy didn't used to be personal but this hero is Interesting :]

this villain must die because nobody gets to be your nemesis but ME

I think I will get worse on purpose

I have a reason not to be evil now! Nothing tragic better happen to it or else!!

What's the best kind of nemesis?

Fellow student/school rival who wants to prove THEY'RE the best

Magically created dark reflection shadow-self

Evil sibling

Evil parent

Bitter ex-partner/friend who feels deeply betrayed

Moriarty-style intellectual equal caught in a highly complex game of chess

Some rando you squashed in season 1 who beefed up and is back with a vengeance

Obsessive narrative foil who idealogically can't stand you exist on principle

The person you know you would've become if not for the one thing that saved you

Powerful jerk with infinite resources infuriated by slippery underdog

Weaponized incompetence my ass just weaponize it back. Once my dad tries to pull the “but I don’t know how to clean the counters as well as you” on my mom and she said “ok honey I’ll show you” and she made him stand in the kitchen and watch her clean the counters. Then she pulled out a bottle of chocolate syrup and proceeded to spray the entire kitchen in chocolate, hand him the sponge and said “okay now it’s your turn”

Weaponized Pettiness is an appropriate response to Weaponized Incompetence.

I just love her character, in most ‘child/teen’ telenovelas, usually the 'serious evil villains’ still end up begin adults for obvious reason, younger kid/teens 'villains’ are either the mean girl or the jealous rival.

The worst things they try to do is sabotage a competition, spread a mean rumor about a protagonist, break up a relationship or steal someone stuff.

While Marian Alverde from Chiquititas is a straight up psycopath how tried to smother her baby brother with a pillow when she was a toddler and attempted to blow up an orphanage.

Even the main adult villains were like 'b*tch wtf, you’re twelve’

Here is a video of another villain (Carmen) dealing with Marian’s bullshit

I thought it weirdly funny

my fav twitter thread this winter

that7randomperson

[ID: a twitter thread by @pete_schultz that reads

“As a relatively successful and busy man who lives in the city, my greatest fear is losing my girlfriend to a hometown hunk with a young son who teaches her the true meaning of Christmas

Just close down his struggling tree farm like your boss told you to and come back to the city so I can take you for granted

You have no businesses co-organizing a Christmas parade. You’re a fancy business lady now and you’re above this. And no, the real Santa doesn’t live in that backwater Hooverville. That’s just a man who forgot how to shave. Come home.

Ok. So he was Santa. Big deal. You and Tad saved Xmas. That’s right I still say Xmas. You learned a lesson, not me. I’m going to a tropical island to celebrate the big account. Have fun at church with flannel man.”]

Dec 4: Remember that time we learned Clark Kent totally peeked at all his Christmas presents with his X-Ray vision? (Justice League, “Comfort and Joy”)

lucianite

Because Clark is awesome and loves christmas.

bizarrodf

remember that time we learned clark kent is a grown man who still believes santa exists

queerrobbiereyes

He’s an alien and a superhero who knows other superheros in a world with a talking telepathic Gorilla, ofc he believes, anything is game.

thecrazyfereldan

Thats because Father Christmas/Santa Claus totally DOES exist in the DC universe, and  every year, without fail, Santa fights through Apokolips’ defenses just to give a lump of coal to Darkseid.

Why do people stop commenting on fics if they’re more than a week or two old? Please comment on old fics. Tell me you like my one shot from 2014. Tell me you like my old multi-chap I finished in 2016 that I spent a year writing. I will be fucking thrilled.

Fics are not social media posts. There’s no “stalking” someone’s “old posts”. They’re meant to be found and enjoyed years down the line. No need to be nervous.
