Imagine yourself in that individual's body (and most importantly, these people still almost always see themselves as right or find some way to relieve their guilt, so you have to pretend you're right), see the children's frightened faces desperately trying to evoke sympathy from your cold face. You see the tears dripping down their cheeks onto the floor like a spring shower. Your throat tightens and a hint of cowardice, disgusting and filthy cowardice, creeps into down your limbs. You want to help, or even reassure the children, but you shouldn't. A risk like that would be idiocy of the highest order. Without even realizing, guilt turns to utter rage. These mewling kittens cry at your feet?
You sigh.
Baby kittens are just. So. Fragile.

True... LOL! But there are still antagonists in her story with truly radical philosophies aimed towards slaughter for a better world, spiteful bastards a-plenty, devious trickster teachers with a less-than-honest approach to life, and on the flip-side, impossibly demure or incredibly kind individuals who share an incredibly divisive and strong contrast to the worser characters. Are they coming from her or are they affecting her permanently is the question, *affixes monocle and mustache to face* One would assume *gentlemanly clearing of throat* that if the enlightenment I was discussing happened for every single named character, she would currently be in the asylum. *plays with top hat*

I may as well have been haha

I had adopted a hypermasculine drive to achieve material success for twenty years, having essentially slain myself in the process.

I, the woman that I am, however, did not wish to remain slain, so I burned a hole back into reality with sheer force of spite.

Then I tried to kill and snuff out my masculine side, for its STUPID decision to ignore my true self for so long.

... ... ...

Nowadays I am embracing myself, all that I am and do...

Or that's the goal anyway. I still have some very stinging regrets that I'm working through.

As it happens, skills I acquired as a guy are even more helpful for me now as a gal.

LMAO! AHAHAHA! I'm not sure how to explain beyond what I have. I'm not really a teacher of any sorts... LOL!

Oh. That was the sound of the kid's headcase getting crushed beneath his boot. Edit: I like to let the reader wonder sometimes, and see if they make the connection between a child's fragility and a villain's possible actions. Though... I think I could flesh it out more! I'll edit it!

I have two female main characters and I kinda fear that I'm missing something when I write them, because of my lack of experience being a girl my whole life

"Well, well, well..." you mutter to yourself. They are...
Just.
So.
"I think you should stop crying," you whisper to the most annoying child, who stops weeping to look at you.
Fragile.

That is usually how they convince themselves. Nyes.

I will not write that dark, at least not "on your face get traumatized forever, dear reader".
But I think I can put myself into her mentality, at least a little.
She kidnaps children and brainwashes them to be their daughters because she couldn't have the daughter she wanted

Good. If you copy the idea of my dearest villain I will sue you. >:(

LOL!
Also *le sigh* it doesn't work with the character. It will be incredibly useful for the werewolf terrorist group Sickle's Teeth, but as of now, it's not the time to use it. *deeper sigh*

I wrote an interlude once featuring a main antagonist in my book.

I still shiver a little bit, because a lot of his rhetorical tactics were the result of me asking myself "You are a primary leader of a genocidal faction, tasked with convincing others of the rightness of your cause. how do you proceed?" ... for about five minutes.

Having said that, I strive to inspire creativity, ingenuity, and levity in all whose paths i cross.

Cause these things are important, you know?
