Motivations for Whumpee-turned-Whumper/ Hero-turned-Villain
Revenge. Anger burns away at them. There’s no rest, no sleep at night. They hate the world and the world hates them. It’s their own personal hell and the only way out will be paved in their enemy’s blood. Time to sharpen that blade, polish those knives. Someone is going to pay.
“Divine” Justice. Closely related to Revenge, but this time they think their enemies deserve the punishment. They see themselves as being entirely in the right. Justice is blind, isn’t it? Well, their enemies will never see the light of day again. It’s only fair, to take what their enemies took from them.
No Choice. There’s the cold, detached metal of gun to their head. The creeping intimacy of knife to their throat. Free will? How about a hissed, “Do as I say”? They make others suffer and in return the pressure at their throat relents. It’s a kill or be killed world after all.
Convinced. Should they? Should they not? The pros and cons are weighed and found wanting. The Villain is starting to make a lot of sense— and really, what is morality but the following of one’s conscience? Morality is biased. It doesn’t make sense. Maybe they’ve been on the wrong side all along.
The End Justifies the Means. Sure, it’s wrong but just wait. Pulling out this person’s teeth will give us the information we need. If that doesn’t work, we will flog them. But in the end, it’ll be okay, because we will have the information. What’s one life compared to many?
You Created a Monster. Their name, once one their friends called down the hall, is now a threat half-whispered. That name is a hallmark of fear and terror. Everyone knows who they are and what they’ve done. They disappeared for a while, but they returned dripping with scars and someone else’s blood. Who knows— if someone had held them while they screamed— if their friends had lived— maybe they wouldn’t be who they are now.

I need to see it happen. I need to see Cas realizing he can have the one thing he's always wanted. I need Dean, fresh from rescuing cas from the empty, to surge up and kiss Cas because god he missed him so much and hes waited so so long to do this but oh god he didn't think this far ahead and cas isnt moving at all so he pulls back all nervous and flustered and looks at him. Cas is staring. His eyes are wide, he's tilting his head slightly as they flicker over dean's face, and then they're getting even wider and hes slowly leaning back in and the side of his mouth is just starting to curl up and his eyes are shining and it might be tears but it doesn't matter because he grabs dean and pulls him close and kisses him with all he has, and only then it sets in that he gets to have this. His love, his life, his happiness. He gets to have all of it.
