So I was thinking about the Villains Series, specifically what each characters’ Disney villain song would be — is that a coherent sentence? — and, here’s what I came up with so far:

Eli — Hellfire (Hunchback of Notre Dame)

Marcella — Be Prepared (The Lion King)

June and Jonathan (Talking about Marcella) — Gaston (Beauty and the Beast)

Serena — Mother Knows Best (Rapunzel)

#I haven’t figured out the other characters #If you have a suggestion #please say something #villains series #the villains series #villains duology #the villains duology #villains trilogy #the villains trilogy #eli cardale #eli ever #marcella vengeful #june vengeful #jonathan vengeful #Disney

The phrase ‘and they were roommates’ finally finds its origin as two men enacting scientific war crimes rather than fuck one another, encounter a pair of sisters who need therapy, a dog that really just needs to go to a better home, and the most innocent cyber criminal slash hired muscle you’ll ever encounter. Watch as this group of people burn through a city that might as well be New York but possibly isn’t for legal reasons, and murder a bunch of innocent people who probably had it coming anyway because they were possessed by the devil- or at least that’s what the traumatised religious man keeps telling himself- anyway, join in on the rom com of the century as these two crazy kids prove you need a lot more than good chemistry to make a relationship work- you also need a defibrillator!

The gala scene lives rent free in my head. Kudos to anyone if they can recognize which part of the fight this is from.

[dayables]

A meaning about the alliteration in Vicious/Vengeful I haven’t seen anyone talk about is how Victor Vale and Marcella Morgan are born with their alliterating names but Eli Ever is a fake name for Eli Cardale.

Something something, Eli not choosing his ruthless nature until he dies and looses his soul while Victor and Marcella were always kind of like that.

Books of 2023. VILLAINS by V. E. Schwab.

Time for a NaNo Prep Reread! I love Victor and this vicious little family with my whole chest. This'll be my second time rereading VICIOUS, but only my first time rereading VENGEFUL.

#books of 2023 #villains #vicious #vengeful #ve schwab #books #book photography #seriously i love these so much #shades of magic was good but vicious as my heart lol #vicious held up on the first reread a few years ago so im excited to dissect it for the Revenge Arc this time #i feel vaguely bad because i remember nothing about marcella but. tbf. how could i when victor and sydney and mitch are RIGHT there #also this is just. so much better. than hench.... #i finished hench at three o'clock this morning just to be Done #the pacing was Messy™ and it didn't get better #definitely brutal and fucked up (that body horror at the end was epic actually) but. overall mediocre for me.... #parts did make me laugh and i'm love the spreadsheets take but. i couldn't get over the pacing #WHICH AGAIN I KNOW IS RICH COMING FROM ME #sigh #anyway i read the first scene this afternoon but now i'm gonna watch nate wreaking havoc in heist fambly while my laundry goes #and THEN bedtime reading

[festeringmoons]

overall I think it’s fine to not like Marcella(you cannot be expected to like every fictional character ever, and she obviously is nowhere near a perfect person; far from it) but if you hate her because she took up space in a book the author has stated is specifically about women reclaiming power and you wanted to see more of your homoerotic serial killer boys then you should reevaluate your fucking biases <3

#my post #vicious ve schwab #vicious #victor vale #marcella morgan #misogny #vengeful #villains series #honestly she’s not really a favorite because while she had potential she could have been written better #But when I read reviews that are like #‘I didn’t like Marcella or June because they took up too much of the plot and I wanted Eli and Victor to kiss’ #Maybe you should consider that you read Vicious fundamentally different than how V. E. Schwab wrote it #And that you cannot expect the sequel to go as you had expected when what you expected is not what she wrote #Like yeah Evervale is cool but shipping it should not get in the way of like. Everything else?

I drew an impeccable sketch on a hot-pink post-it note at work and tried (unsuccessfully) to recapture its majesty on high-quality sketchbook paper. (Also I finally read Vengeful and it was pretty good)

WHAT?!?!?????!!!

Listen, if Victor dies, I will be devastated. Absolutely torn apart. Ruined.

I’m hoping this means all that drama in his life is over and he can have a happy little life with Mitch and his adopted daughter Sydney. Maybe visiting Eli in jail in the weekends for date night.

When I was rereading Vengeful I spent a lot of time thinking about how all that symbolism and meaning and power in comic book ass alliterative names in Vicious. Continues with Marcella?

Marcus likes how powerful Marcella makes him feel. Likes having her there as support, a trophy wife, but not more than that. But Marcella's already got that power in her name.

As she comes into herself and goes full supervillain she return to being Marcella Morgan, right up there with Victor Vale and Eli Ever. The alliteration symbolizes power and importance, and she's finally making something of herself, finally using the power that she was always meant to have. In the fleshback to Eli and Victor's first meeting, we even get a callback to the alliteration idea.

It's just. It's a very on-the-nose piece of symbolism. The books don't shy away from that; they look at it, talk about it, embrace it. But it goes even deeper than that; it's woven into the story in much subtler ways. And I think it's really cool.

#in another life maybe i was an english major cause this kind of analysis really is fascinating to me #vengeful #vicious #ve schwab #eli ever #victor vale #marcella morgan #villains #villains duology #villains series #vicious ve schwab #marcella riggins #anyways. ngl real ones use morgan and not riggins because feminism and girlbossery. riggins WAS her husbands name

3 chapters of the death note AU planned out so far and we're only just seeing Victor. Oh boy.

#this is very Eli heavy #which makes sense considering hes the main character #eli and marcella interactions are my favorite actually #vicious death note au #if you haven't seen my other posts #Eli as Light Yagami #Marcella as Ryuk #Victor as L #Serena as Misa Misa #Stell as Chief Yagami #too lazy to tag the rest you get the idea #this is gonna be a long one #trying to strike balance between keeping it close to the plot of death note without rewriting the whole thing word for word #vicious ve schwab #vengeful ve schwab #victor vale #eli ever #eli cardale #marcella vengeful #villains series #evervale #if you squint #still not sure how much evervale i want to add here #it will be present somewhere but its yet to be determined how much of it there will be #i should go to bed now #eepy #gn vicious and death note fandom #perhaps there will be more in the morning

Let's talk about Vengeful. Most of the book is dedicated to:

-Marcella, her character, her revenge, her taking over the city, how she's gonna change the way EOs are seen.

-Eli, his tragic back story, honestly idgaf about him.

-Victor trying to stop his pain

-Sydney trying to bring back Serena

-June is there

-Mitch is there

-Dom is there

-Johnathan is there.

The people the book was mostly about, Marcella and Eli, die. Honestly love the way Eli went but Marcella's death was so anti climatic and pathetic, especially since she took up so much of the book. She was an interesting character, but her "kill a man in perfect make up and six inch high heels" shit was annoying yet Schwab presents her as the pinnacle of feminism.

Sydney's whole arc about being strong enough to bring back her sister goes nowhere. She thinks about bringing her back, but doesn't. She thinks about running away with June, she doesn't. The whole Serena plot line really pissed me off (forever a Serena Clarke stan she had a good heart how can you like Eli and not Serena fuck you.) Like okay, I get it. Serena was broken after the lake and even though she saved her sister (and tried to spare/save her later), she still abandoned her and wasn't there for her. The whole point is that even though Serena was a great sister all those years and loved Syd, Serena wasn't there for her so Sydney feels like she shouldn't bring her back. Unlike Victor who she brought back, who was always- wait what?

That brings us to Victor, he acts like an asshole the whole book. The bit we got in the beginning with him interacting with Syd and Mitch was my favorite part, but I just don't get why Sydney and Mitch stay with him. Okay, I get why they stay, they have nowhere else to go, but why do they take his shit? Especially Mitch. He kills good people for 5 years. Sydney, Mitch, and Dom relentlessly help him find a cure. Syd blames herself even though she's the only reason he's alive. Mitch's hacking is what keeps them afloat. Dom is the only reason Victor is safe from Eon, he gets killed. Then Victor finally gets what he wants, a cure. Plus not only did Sydney save his life again, she killed his mortal enemy, Eli. So after all that, now that he has everything he wants, he ABANDONS Mitch and Sydney. And it doesn't even seem like they're that mad about it.

June was interesting but we found out 0 about her. How did she die? Why did she want revenge? What got her here? What are her motivations? Why is this grown woman obsessed with Syd? She exists as Marcella's henchwoman and then is just a plot device so Victor attacks Marcella and not Eli. (The way her and Marcella fell out was contrived)

Johnathan was just there. Why the hell would he team up with Marcella? He had no motivation, he's probably happy he died.

TLDR: Vengeful really can't stand on its own for me and doesn't live up to the masterpiece that is Vicious. Instead of the woven timeline feeling poetic, like in Vicious, it feels contrived. And too much time is spent on characters idgaf about, or who don't matter.

I can sit and critique forever as I am the world's proudest hater but I do feel that a lot of the snark around Vengeful is just people crucially misunderstanding the point of the villains universe. it's fucking camp! everything is self aware and overdramatic and reads like a published (albeit very good) fanfiction. if you're in specific circles you absolutely recognise the tropes schwab is pulling from and the tongue in cheek references she makes and all of them are on some base level FUNNY. I don't think it can be read with 100% gravitas because as much as it is brutal and visceral and about extremely traumatized people desperately clutching onto each other because carrying on feels easier than trying something new, it is also a book in which the girlboss mafia leader queen gets taken out by a naked college quarterback . schwab likes nice and wrapped up endings and after dealing with stief and Muir it is a BREATH OF FRESH FUCKING AIRRRR

#vengeful ve schwab #in terms of crit her overexpansive casts mean that ppl like mitch who SHOULD be central get shoved into lampshadeland #but i did find the new characters entertaining if not endearing #mostly bc i did not expect them to be pleasant and they were not. june is ALSO a manipulative selfish evil shithead #the marcella thing... yeah ok she was erm. very 2016. but her dying immediately during her final hoedown was the funniest thing ever #i think despite the intent vengeful reads like a middle book in a trilogy Nd doesnt hold up on its own . but EYE would be fine with it #i do enjoy how victor never loses. im so sick of my protagonists dying in poignant ways give me my marvel movie dennis reynolds #vicious ve schwab #also the june/sydney 3 year thing was extremely weak and 1) how fucking old is june maam that is a MINOR 2)i thought the same abt eli #in book1 and he really pulled thru so well in this one i genuinely kind of forgot about the murders. fascinating dude. unfixable #like was the ending of vengeful terribly rushed and lackluster. sure but im genuinely not mad at all about it #its a very fun sandbox

[ineffablelvrs]

lmao remember when in vengeful dominic says to victor it's the only thing he has in black when he was giving him clothes. victor vale is emo canon
