Trey: *Trying to explain Riddle is that way because of his mom*

Me: Give me a minute as I pull up my ‘Trauma Doesn’t Excuse Sh*t Behavior’ PowerPoint.

Say it with me, everyone: an explanation is not an excuse 😊

You know, the other day I was watching one of Ryan George's Pitch Meetings and when Producer Guy asked Writer Guy how the audience would root for the villain of the franchise and the response was "he's handsome" which basically explains most people's reactions to fictional men.

Prepare for incoming rant that has little to do with the ask

This probably might come as a shock because one of the main appeal of twst would be the whole villainous aspect/Disney Villain fanbase but I don't really like villains that much, at least, not romantically. Like don't get me wrong, I think that they're incredible characters and it would be so fun to sit down with one and have a conversation with one. Villain songs are so fun (I was literally singing ‘This Day Aria’ to myself the other day I haven’t heard that song in like a decade) and you can tell that that characters like Scar or Hades or Shere Khan or Jafar or Maleficent are having so much fun being deliciously evil and even the more serious, complex ones like Loki or Frollo are fun to pick apart so yeah I understand the hype. I just always rooted for the heroes and I guess heroic characters have always been more my type.

My mother absolutely loves Erik Destler and is forever salty that Christine chose Raoul (despite my many many attempts at arguing why Raoulstine is the superior couple - smol primary school me could not understand why my mum liked the chandelier dropper and was deeply concerned), my best friend has been in love with Heathcliffe since we were eleven, and my little sister has literally told me that her type of fictional men are the toxic red flags (not exactly word for word but she did explain why she likes bad boys over good boys when I was complaining about how my type (wholesome soft boys) always get sidelined for the arrogant, snarky bad boys - we're also very diametrically opposed on our views of friends to lovers (my s++ tier all time favourite and her loathing) vs enemies to lovers (I can't really stand it - Pride and Prejudice is the only exception - and that's literally all she consumes) so that might also be a reason).

Like, I understand the appeal of a Byronic hero (Mr Darcy has far too much power) - a closed off, broody man that hates everything but you? And will burn down the world to keep you warm? I can respect that there are people who dig that. But their not really for me.

The mild bout of insanity thirteen year old me had where I spent two months attracted to Edward Rochester is an outlier and should not have been counted (though that was during my wattpad phase so...)

But I can admit that I have yet to shake off my feelings for Dr Henry Jekyll, Victor Frankenstein and Dorian Gray (though to be fair, Mr Gabriel John Utterson the lawyer and cinnamon roll artist boy Basil Hallward do own my heart). And yes, Jeremy Jordan did make me question my morality as he did make my feelings for Light Yagami be too positive to be sane for a brief moment (Touta Matsuda is still my man, don't worry). But apart from them, literally all of my faves are what you'd call your traditional, morally upright heroes.

Basically what I'm saying is that my perception might be skewed because I've never had the whole 'villains are cooler' mindset when it came to stories. Yes, I love the villains as characters but I always liked their heroic foils more (goodness is just so attractive to me). You get lots of amazing heroic protagonists that have horribly tragic backstories and they're the ones I always fall for because the idea of being a kind sweetheart despite the world being anything but is just *chef's kiss* that's a kind of strength that's so swoon-worthy.

I guess that's why it's harder for me to look past the characters' actions in twst is because, well, they chose to do everything they did. They made a conscious choice to be terrible, despite understanding the consequences. Riddle may have been brainwashed into becoming a tyrant by his mother but he still admitted that he knew he was being horrible - he understands the concept of morality, of good and bad, and he willingly and deliberately did everything he did.

I suppose this text post I found on Pinterest would explain my point better:

The results are IN so it’s time for the most amateur--

19th Century Lit Meow Meow Bracket

“Why isn’t [character] in it” well because I started with characters I know and then took nominations from the LXGF discord server.  If you join it maybe you can nominate future meow meows or even sexymen (not featured here).

“Why is [character] in it” listen I needed an even number and was BULLIED into including Lestrade vs. Fix for cursed reasons

RULES: - Vote with your heart and your conscience.  There are many definitions of a Meow Meow (patheticness, bad choices, wallowing, atrocities, sogginess, etc), but it all comes down to “who am I most likely to risk being yelled at for woobifying” - That’s it that’s the only rule. - HAVE FUN

Links to current brackets below the cut:

Jack Seward (Dracula) vs. The Creature (Frankenstein)

Penclosa (The Parasite) vs. Dr. Henry Jekyll (Jekyll & Hyde)

Inspector Lestrade (Sherlock Holmes) vs. Inspector Fix (Around the World in 80 Days)

Captain Nemo (Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea) vs. Erik (Phantom of the Opera)

Basil Hallward (The Picture of Dorian Gray) vs. Griffin (The Invisible Man)

THE BEETLE!! (The Beetle) vs. Victor Frankenstein (Frankenstein)

Captain Ahab (Moby Dick) vs. Edward Hyde (Jekyll & Hyde)

R. M. Renfield (Dracula) vs. Robert Holt (The Beetle)

Imagine if Mina and Renfield figured out Dracula was in the house together and they teamed up to stop him. And then the next time the suitors + Van Helsing + Jonathan get back from breaking and entering, Mina’s like “Hey guys, we got him!” And they come in the house to see Mina and Renfield both absolutely covered in blood, and Mina holding a big butterfly net ringed in garlic flowers, inside of which is a very pissed off Batcula.

Hey, heads up, the next Dracula Daily entry (tomorrow, the 17th) contains more racist stereotypes of Romani people, and also of Slovak people. If anyone wants to skip that but still know what happens in the book, here’s a quick summary:

Jonathan sees some people drive up to the castle with wagons behind them. Jonathan runs down to the main hall, thinking that it will be opened because of the wagon drivers, but finds that the door is locked from the outside. Jonathan tries to call to the drivers for help but they don’t listen. Some large, heavy, empty crates are unloaded from the wagons, and then they drive off.

Ranking gothic lit characters by the things they do instead of sleeping

(Note: This post is a joke, and maintaining a healthy sleep schedule is important)

11. Dracula: Being the worst

10. Robert Walton: Writing down everything Victor Frankenstein says

9. The Phantom (Erik): Stalking people, causing problems, working on an opera (Unrealistic, people are not actually productive when they stay up)

8. Jack Seward: His work (lame cause he’s bad at it), ignoring his emotions (realistic)

7. Utterson: Tracking down Edward Hyde (exciting)

6. Dorian Gray: Staring at his portrait (relatable, but lame), sinning (cool)

5. Griffin: Experiencing the consequences of his actions (relatable)

4. Johnathan Harker: Worrying about the vampires that are trying to eat him (exciting)

3. Adam Frankenstein: Reading Paradise Lost (cool), setting fires (fun!), starving in the woods (tragic)

2. Dr. Jekyll: Violence (fun!), being Edward Hyde (funner!)

1. Victor Frankenstein: Playing god (cool), angsting (realistic)

The Picture of Dorian Gray

by Oscar Wilde

“It is quite true that I have worshipped you with far more romance of feeling than a man should ever give to a friend. Somehow, I had never loved a woman. [...] Well, from the moment I met you, your personality had the most extraordinary influence over me. I quite admit that I adored you madly, extravagantly, absurdly. I was jealous of every one to whom you spoke. I wanted to have you all to myself. I was only happy when I was with you. When I was away from you, you were still present in my art. It was all wrong and foolish. It is all wrong and foolish still. Of course I never let you know anything about this. It would have been impossible. You would not have understood it; I did not understand it myself.”
