sin

Not every villain has to be a sad Tumblr twink with a tragic past.

Sometimes? Villains can just be bad people.

I'm tired of seeing villains who are just "morally gray" characters with perfect hair and a sob story, but they never actually do anything villainous. You gave them a tragic past and a dark outfit and called it a day.

You can write a complex villain with layers without making them soft or secretly good. You can enjoy an evil villain without trying to redeem them or rebrand them as an "anti-hero."

Not saying redeemed villain is a bad trope, i eat that shit up too. But said villains I see written in the first place are not evil at all, just.. idk rich and traumatized and i guess the biggest crime they can do is blowing up a bank and flirting with the hero

Being interesting ≠ being good. Being hateable ≠ being badly written.

Sometimes? Let villains be villain.

And not hating on any tropes that revolve around this, i get that it's like a different way to written a villain. But it's just a personal opinion, that sometimes, it's getting boring, make them be evil assholes let them die a horrible death, a quick one would work too. Or make them go to jail or something.

And yes, you can still love a character even if they are evil even if your don't condone their actions as a person.

And if you wanna make a sympathetic villain that's fine, but just keep in mind that their past is NOT an excuse to let them get away with consequences.

Yeah, and? Anyone can beat batman with prep time too. What's your point?

When your given more time to prepare and fight someone it's natural you have the upper hand, what's so different about batman doing it?

romanticising school and studies by using aesthetics (i.e. Dark academia, art academia, chaotic academia, etc) is really helpful for motivation, but there are many things you must keep inmind

★ Stop romanticism of insomnia. I mostly blame dark academia fanatics for this (not all, but most). in order to remember what you have studied properly as the brain absorbs the information you studied while your sleeping and it maintains a good mental health. Put an end to the "sleep is for the weak" mindset. Cause no sleep actually makes you weak.

★ stop worrying about not having aesthetic notes with colourful pens, heading and doodles like you see in the "study with me videos". It doesn't matter how it looks, as long as you understand, that's the whole point of having notes in the first place. To study, it's not an assignment or project for you to spent hours switching between pens and markers.

Partly people are so deep focused on making everything look "aesthetic" and forget to study, which was supposed to be the main priority.

★ if you get a bad grade once in a while, don't get demotivated. Sometimes no matter how hard you study you won't get the result you want, it might sound cliché but all you can do is try again. No matter how good someone's grades are, these is always a moment where they get a low grade for wherever reason, instead of taking that as a cue to give up, take it as an opportunity to bounce back

(remember, some study hacks may work for some people but it won't work for everyone, so try to find a method that's best suitable for you)

★ Put you phone away when your studying, it's a huge distraction (wow mom was right) now, if your study materials are in your phone or you study through YouTube, then i suggest you turn off you notifications of social media apps (i.e YouTube, Instagram and even Tumblr)
