Dolores Haze summer <3
Disclaimer: I relate a lot to Dolores’ story and this is what I imagine a happy summer and life would’ve looked like for her if Humbert Humbert hadn’t ruined it for her, and for me in a way. Romanticizing Lolita is gross. Fuck Humbert Humbert.

@kateprincessofbluewhales posted about how it's difficult to make a really good villain both compelling but also still objectively bad without making it weird. So, I compiled a list of some of the villains I think are very compelling (note: this does NOT mean I like any of these characters, they're just great villains)
There will be spoilers, so look away if you haven't read most popular series!
Luke Castellan from Percy Jackson was a very compelling villain to me. A young man who grew up with a mentally insane mother and an absentee father who grew to resent being thought as less than others and desired to be seen. He wanted all the gods' children to be acknowledged, which is actually a noble goal, but he was highly misled. Eventually, he came to doubt but it was too late for him as he had possessed Kronos's body but he is eventually the one who kills Kronos. And Percy makes sure Luke's last wish comes true.
Maven Calore from Red Queen is quite similar to Luke in that he grew up thinking he was less than. I won't elaborate much because I know Kate hasn't read the series yet, but THIS LINE FROM MAVEN OMG!!!
“Are you really so surprised? Poor Mavey, the second prince. The shadow of his brother’s flame. A weak thing, a little thing, doomed to stand to the side and kneel.”
I read this series years ago and I still think about this line so-
I actually think Umbridge was a great villain. Not because I liked her or felt for her in any way, but because she was exemplary of the political corruption, of people wanting to shut down the truth because it doesn't suit their narrative. I mean, how many people like that have you met? She's a power-hungry bitch.
Micah Domitus is such a good villain. He had that whole angle of being one of the more "decent" archangels while also being "forced" to assert his authority while actually being a manipulative dick the whole time and I love it. Just wish he had lasted longer.
Amarantha is honestly such a good villain. I could definitely understand her hatred towards humans and she is another villain who really ought to have lasted longer.
