Arguable whether this is truly a villain protagonist in the First Law fandom, but one who does some terrible, villainous things would be Sand Dan Glokta from Joe Abercrombie's First Law series. He would have to rely on his cleverness and scheming to save the world because he does have a hard...

North American English Native Speaker I really like em dashes overall for flow sometimes, connecting certain items/sentences instead of using a colon/semicolon if it feels right and for a specific pause I am going for. It is kind of hard to explain when the em dash just 'feels right' over other...

Games, usually on my phone nowadays and maybe a little at home. The gacha games have me. :blob_blank: The library and coffee shops take up my reading/writing time on days off. Wow, I actually can't remember the last time I watched a show. Hockey season is over so maybe I'll try something.

Yeah, seems like a pretty normal reaction. People bottle up their emotions, find some coping mechanism or have delayed reactions and then it just all pours out after being too much. A character crying every so often for a good reason isn't a turnoff to me. Visit the Grand Canyon and you'll see...

ArtStation is a real big one that artists use for showcasing work. They have a function for viewing artist availability and a lot of filters to search for specific styles. So that seems like a good option as well.

Usually a three mile jog about 3-4 times a week, maybe? I do yard work sometimes for my folks since they don't live far from me, so that can be a replacement. Some other random stuff thrown in, like sets of pushups and sit-ups between commercials on netflix or video game lobbies. lol. XD Nothing...

Cat. For the reasons stated in the original post, and because there is the possibility that one might be disguised as a catgirl. One can hope. Oh, and because they are guardians of the underworld. That's pretty cool. I learned that from "The Mummy."

My brother and uncle were super into NASCAR. My uncle nabbed some free tickets (think it was one of those things where a company gets involved and gives them out to employees) and invited the whole family. I'm sorry to all the NASCAR fans, but I don't enjoy it. I ended up writing in a notepad...

I won't pretend to know the full circumstances, but I feel this. I have been writing for many years as well. I also gave up writing for a while due to being discouraged, lack of enthusiasm and people trying to bring my work down. There can be so many factors. I was unable to handle insults and...

Book cover and I wuv catgirls. :s_smile:

Laptop. Like to bring it with me to coffee shops and stuff

Yoooooooo this is amazing! Cthulu vibes and I kinda wanna go play Elden Ring now.

I edit everything myself, but I do use the spellchecker in OpenOffice. Might try Grammarly if people seem to like it. I don't really have a set number of times I reread it because I agonize, but it is usually around five times or more for a nearly finished chapter. First read is usually for...

Would need to know their motivations, I think. There are some characters that do good things, but they end up benefiting from them with another aspect behind the scenes that might be considered necessary evils. Many have layers to a plan with the good seen on the outside and what is considered...

sounds interesting. havent seen something like that in regard to weak villains. thanks for the recommended reading above as well.
