You Can Find Them on Etsy

My Husband: I got a call from my brother today--

Me: After years of watching you and your brother gifting each other Amazon gift cards back and forth for every birthday, I asked if I could pick the next gift for your brother to...shake things up a bit. And you agreed.

Husband: Right, but--

Me: I knew I needed to pick something that would shock you both out of a decade of nothing beyond every-other-month, strictly-small-talk obligatory phone calls.

Husband: Please stop villain-monologuing for a minute.

Me: I had to find the gift that would force you to start a dialogue.

Husband: That still doesn't explain--

Me: Raccoon toe bones made perfect sense after hours of searching for a gift that would prompt a "Why?" instead of just a "Thanks."

Husband: ...Mark said there were also raccoon teeth.

Me: It sounds like you two had a very interesting conversation!

Husband: I wish you weren't so pleased with yourself right now.

"I'll eat you some day. I'm not a cannibal. But one day soon, you'll rot in the ground just like everyone else, and the earth will suck the marrow from your bones, and maggots will crawl through your flesh. Plants will grow around you, ripping the life from your withering frame and pushing it out into new, fresh greens.

"And I'll go out the garden with my pretty little basket and pluck up tomatoes and lettuce and carrots and peas. Everyone will think it's so sweet. So cute that I'm out there in my little garden with the little crosses along the end of the rows. They won't know that I'm eating you.

"But I'll know. And you'll know."

[gale-gentlepenguin]

(Villain speech thing)

"See, here's thing with your "You took everything from me!" statement. One, you have to be way more specific, since I've taken a lot of things from others, so I've lost count a long time ago. Two, you're hardly the first one to come trying to reclaim what you think you own, and almost everyone who survived has ended up walking away with even less. And third, that, in turn, implies the "everything" part is factually wrong - clearly you've still got something left for me to take if you came all the way here."

(I like it, but I have some tweaks)

The villain waited for the hero to finish. Before they spoke up. The hero was pouring their heart and soul out about how the villain took EVERYTHING from them. Their family, their friends.

“Yes, and?”

The hero was shocked at how nonchalant the response.

“Are you serious? You took Everything from me!”

“You are still breathing. You have your clothes, your weapons, your limbs. Clearly I didn’t take everything. You heroes and your hyperbole.” The villain pointed out.

“That’s the problem with these ‘You took everything from me’ speeches, because it’s not true. Not to mention It’s too vague and do you know how hard it is to narrow down who you are? I take a lot of things from a lot of people! You’re not special.”

The hero tightened their fist in anger.

“You monster…”

The villain smiled.

“But since you came all this way. You must have something I haven’t taken yet. So let me make an honest person out of you.”

Hey, before you two throw down, have a look at this

Also I'm still here... just on the sidelines shaking and desperately hiding. I dunno if you need me or if this is a cannon only kinda fight. Uh... yeah, sorry if that killed the vibe.

"Save me? I'm sorry. Say that again. You are here to SAVE me? My poor fool. My poor, poor, beautiful, wonderful fool. You can not save me,for I have no need of being saved. I have done nothing wrong. I have committed no sin. This is all a matter of cause and effect. The world is the cause. And I? Why I, my precious disaster, I am the effect. The world made me. The world formed me. It beat me into the shape it desired. It strangled me into submission. It cut and tore and killed and destroyed and burned me into what was tolerable. And when I was no longer worthy, it cast me aside. I do not need to be saved. But if you hurry, you might be able to save the world from itself. Run along. I shall show this world all the mercy and patience it gave me."

Fate of the Future

[thevillain-run]

Random villain monologue to brainwash you

“You’re the hero. That’s the problem, we’re all just people fighting for what we think is right, labeled by a community we’re trying to fix as either a hero or a villain. Is the world really that black and white? Is there that distinct of lines between good and evil? Or are people just too scared to face the fact that a lot of things are neither black or white, but grey. Who’s to say what’s right or wrong? Who is innocent? Haven’t we all wronged someone? None of us are innocent, so who’s to judge what is good or evil? We’re all just relying on our own flawed judgment to make decisions that impact our lives and other’s lives. A so called “villain” is just someone who isn’t afraid to accept that reality, someone who hopes to fix a broken world, someone who realizes that to fix what is broken some things must be done away with. Or am I wrong? Am I a villain?”

claire and owen are a generic blockbuster action movie couple to YOU. but I know them on a deeper level. i have opened my eyes to the deep lore. do you even know what a malewife is? or a girlhusband? you cower while I rise to the occasion. you can abandon them. I can nurture them. you have no idea of their true potential. you cannot see the hidden layers that I do. under my leadership, claire will reach her full potential as a breadwinner wife with femdom tendencies. likewise, owen will reach his full potential as her little boyfriend who cooks her every meal and spends his days roleplaying steve irwin. the layman knows that owen grady is an alpha male but the enlightened knows claire dearing is a SIGMA MALE. I am operating on levels you can’t fathom

Remnants

“You meager souls, devoid of the touch of the Veil, bereft of your gods, Sundered and Shattered- you eke out a paltry existence in the wake of the grand civilizations that came before.

You look to the eternal cities and edifice of the Eldritch, the magic and might that astounds your greatest arcanists, champions and celebrants, and marvel in the eternal wonders of such a civilization. You wonder at how wise were their people, how enlightened, how advanced?

Your Museums display the potsherds of the ages of divinity, when your ancestors walked by the feet of the gods and you wonder at their nobility, their unbreakable spirit, their great strength. You look back at the heroes who rose among the gods to take their place in legends and wonder if such a halcyon epoch is possible again. I tell you it is not.

You forget that through it all there were people: both simple and complex, of every race and oath and creed, who watched on the sidelines and fought on the frontlines, who pioneered and were lazy, who took advantage and betrayed trust, who sought redemption and just to be comfortable in their own skin, who cared for simple things and demanded recognition, who hated themselves and who hated each other. Bigots and saints and champions and rogues, and between and around them all. People. Kith. Kin. You forget, what the humans call their “humanity”- these people of the past. You look to history and are lost in the golden gleam of greatness, you care not for those who simply lived.

So lost are you in the grandeur, so lofty are your visions, You forget that these great demigods and ascendants were people among people. And they are as liable to their mistakes as anyone else. There were days before they were challenged and faced with the ending of their era. There were grey and golden days. Their enlightenment did nothing to prevent all suffering, their advancement was unequal in its distribution, their good intentions were as deficient and harmful as the schemes and plots of the great leaders of today.

Looking in the eternal and eternally shattered ruins of the Veilborn, that even in ruination hint at a potential that dwarfs your own-it’s impossible for you meager souls not to wonder at the greatness there, at the knowledge no one knows. Their grand structures, their portals and artifacts. How many died in pursuit of their gain and creation, how many were lost?

I tell you now the Veilborn are hardly worthy of admiration and wonder, the Septarchs even less so. Their world ways developed magic too quickly, they earned not and felt not the consequences of the fell powers they unleashed. Your gods and heroes are to be even more scorned and loathed- abandoning you on this shattered world after their Conflagration and Wars. Leaving you to pick up the pieces as the Veilborn did after them.

They tell you they entrusted the future to you- do not believe them. When their greatness could no longer be sustained and they looked at the destruction of their creation around them, and fell to solipsism. The gods creating their own worlds to retreat to; to hide from the disaster and crises leaft in the wake of them. And what about when it came turn for the Veilborn and their Septarchs? They visited ruination upon themselves rather than deign to allow their destruction at the hands of any outside force. So great was their pride and arrogance.

And now look at you, you and your ilk, a new civilization scratching in the junkyard shantytown left in the wake of what came before. Pitiful, untouched by Grace of Divinity or Veil. You call this the Age of Progress. How laughable. You pale in comparison to even the ruin of the past. Your folly is greater still than those who came before, trying to rebuild some semblance of civilized society. Your world has long ended, and unlike those who came before, you’re too stupid to abandon it.

I come with fire, to burn away the last vestiges of what was lost, to scour clean the remnants of this world. It will begin anew, seeded from the space beyond the stars, with life born of the final wastes. No more ambition, no more folly. No more picking up the pieces and wondering at what came before. I will raze it all. I do it for you, for once I am done- no more people must suffer at the hands of those with grand ambition. No more will the people of the future feel the weighty consequences of the past. I will free you all. This is my love. This is my beneficence. Submit and be destroyed.”

— Wriglth Nhegal, the Worm Hunger, the Writhing Decay, the Lord of Carrion

Megatron’s best quote from Beast Wars

[gauzeroll]

GAUZE page 20.

[gale-gentlepenguin]

(Villain lines, villain-to-villain example)

"Fact that I am 'just a medic' means that I know that there is several thosand ways to kill a human. I will not tell them to you, because you will be dead before I will manage to say even one of them *turns and begins to walk away, then hears fellow villain's dead body falling onto floor* That's why I don't like drug-based enhantements. They provide temporary boosts in power, but side-effects are permanent and increase with each used dose."

“Just a medic? You insult my knowledge. I’ve performed countless procedures! I’ve seen more ways of dying than most people could even begin to comprehend! Not that it matters, you’ve been dead for 2 minutes.”

The other villain looked at his colleague and held his chest. The colleague dropped to the floor, his mouth foaming and blood spilling from his eyes.

“And that is why drug enhancements are not to be trusted. The side effects vary from person to person… but all overdoses eventually lead to death.

[arya-the-darklord]

"What hurts, is when you want to open up,

the darkest, most shameful parts of yourself. The desperate for love, absolutely pathetic part of you. But you don't.

Because you know,

They will let you down. They will look down on you. You will be weaker in their eyes. Then they will leave.

The first chance they get."

[dont-end-infinity]

I am a God, and you are nothing but my plaything. I created you. Every fiber of your being was once a bit of my soul, now something that I’ve crafted and weaved to perfect you. You’re as you’re meant to be - you’re as I wanted you. You’re barely noticeable, barely ever perceived. A small, pathetic little inkling of what a human can be. You’re as I need you. I crafted you to be this way. When you bow before me, I do not want to see you tremble in fear. Greet me as your creator, and remember; I can destroy you as fast as you can blink. I can tear your life to pieces like you’re a piece of soaked paper.

Remember.

I am your God. And no matter how hard you try,

You cannot defeat me.

[the-writer-that-never-writes]

I was going to die. Fate had other plans for me. I wouldnt say I didnt deserve it. I wouldnt say I didnt want to live either. I was a ganger on the streets of Serenity City, a low level grunt. A nobody just like everybody else but in one moment, I was about to be run over. Just chance. Just something thatd happen to me and the world would move on.

In that moment time stopped, and red strings wrapped around me and bound me tight, and the next thing I knew I was jerked forward, the van passed, and there I was face first in the pavement. Now to passerby, they said I jumped. I couldnt have. I couldnt move. Something else, took me, pulled me forward.

I didnt know then but id be cursed after that. The strings carried a weight to them, I couldnt see them anymore but I could feel them, pulling me this way and that way. It wasnt long until they started to whisper in my head "You have a role to play, Edward. You will be the villain."

It was more likely I had a screw loose! But no, time after time all I was diagnosed with was megalomania, and APD veering on psycopathy. I was a man like any other, in the face of a greater power, and that greater power told me that I was to be the hand of evil on this world? That I was to be cruel, and greedy, to what... motivate a hero?

Thats when the strings tugged more, pulled forward. And thats where our story begins, because if im the villain... who is the hero?

[mechdood]

Why? Why is it that one so great is rewarded with so little?

What kind of unfortunate circumstances has put you down on your knees time and time again?

For what conceivable reason is your imprisionment considered justified?

Bound to a cell of shame and misery.... shackled by those who deemed themselves more worthy of success.

Cursed is your spirit, one destined to an existence of suffering while others bask in the glory of putting you down, over and over again.

My lord, my liege... has it not been enough already? Please... I beg you.... arise once again and unleash chaos upon those who have wronged you.

You should have brought the end to this wretched world....

YOU ARE THE MILLENNIUM BUG

YOU! WHOSE DESTINY WAS TO END THIS WORLD IN THE YEAR 2000

LORD MILLENNIUMON, EVOLVE FROM THE CHRYSALIS OF YOUR DIGITAL FORM AND MOLD THIS REALITY AS THE ONE TRUE GOD OF THE DIGITAL WORLD!

*Ahem* Sorry, I got a little excited there. Anyway, what is up with really cool boss monsters and characters with op powers never allowed to showcase what they can do? Is a world ending monster not entitled to the sweat of its villainous brow?

Always beaten by plot armor every single time... oh what a shame. Just wish this thing was allowed to shine as a threat more. Every single time this beautiful abomination is defeated without showing what it can do. Very frustrating....
