Very neat since I like it because there isn’t any blue Doomers in the canon games which is consider unqiue and very creative. Bonus points that it is a Water Doomer so I like this simple Doomer OC a lot. Especially that art style looks like it comes from a watercolor book which I think that is cool art.

“I don’t think that every villain in the world actually thinks they’re being a good guy, but I do think that everybody creates a value system that justifies the actions they’re taking, and and I think there’s a difference between those two things. Not everybody believes that they’re on the side of righteousness, but everybody has a way of justifying the actions they’re taking. Not every villain has to be a misunderstood hero, and in fact I think there are a lot of instances throughout history of people who were obviously doing the wrong thing and probably had an understanding of that on some level, but had some rationale or justification for it. A lot of villains in literature and media have these weird, Thanos-esque philosophies of what it is that they’re trying to do, and I think human motivation tends to come from more primal places than that. So a lot of the villains I write can be brilliant or clever (and, in fact, probably should be), but their motivation tends to be primal. They wanna be rich, they wanna have power, they wanna live forever. There’s something deep down that is, when you break it down, not too complex. Right? If you look at the real world, the people that are doing bad stuff don’t need complex motivations. They wanna rule the world! They wanna be rich! They wanna be unafraid that other people can ever screw them over, so they screw other people over. Evil is boring. Right? I kinda believe in the banality and mundanes of evil. Evil is just selfish impulses, which at the end of the day are really easy to understand. It’s easy to understand why people do bad things. It’s like “yeah, ok, you’re selfish and scared and cruel, I get it”. Being good is complex and beautiful and hard.”

Brennan Lee Mulligan, when asked how to create villains for ttrpgs

(I found this quote to be really meaningful in like…life in general which is why I posted it here. When he said “evil is boring”, it felt like something clicked in me that I had known deep down but hadn’t had the words for.)  (via @earthmoonlotus)

I can get what the person is speaking that the motivations can come from primal instinct for villains to keep it simple not very complex. While I like misunderstood villains to show through got different side of personalities, there are actually multiple types of villains because of what kind of motivations or drives they got. There can be simple villains who is downright evil and even know they are evil with malicious wants. While I write off fanfics to have a complex villains doesn’t mean I won’t include simple villains because just like real life everyone is complicated with having multiple sides of themselves. Then there are people who can be evil like shitty dictators, controlling religious figures, etc. having different wants even that is wanting to have power. As for that story should not lose their focus in having evil characters with malicious wants or else trying to create copycat Thanos-villains will get stale especially if the writing is crap.
