NEWS ABOUT THE BH HANDBOOK AND MORE
There was a conference recently where Alan spoke about the books, showed an animated teaser with Kaleb and why the BH handbook for villains was delayed. Link of the conference will be below!
They showed an animated short teasing the audiobook of BH's completely harmless book featuring Kaleb! See it in the conference below, timestamp 15:12.
Tumblr media
The BH handbook for villains (and possibly also Miss Heed's book) was delayed because of the upcoming Mawrasite and Illuminarrow comic. We should first read the comic and then the books, because the comic contains things about the books and Alan wants us to follow the timeline properly. So they'll come out after the comic ends.
Here's the conference! If you wanna see the animated teaser, it's at 15:12.

Recién comencé mi lectura de El Libro Completamente Inofensivo de Black Hat y me sorprendió ver que mencionaran a VillainSlayer en la página 56.
VillainSlayer es el héroe oculto que aparece entre los frames del intro del episodio 3 “La VVV”

Can we all agree that villainous is just a pg discount version of the boys.
It's like The Boys but without any of the actual nuance and storytelling behind it. Plus, there's really only a small handful of a heroes that are evil, even then it's mainly the way they were brought up and how. Like, you can see where some have some human moments that make you feel for them, especially The Deep. He's going through quite an arc, poor guy x3
Meanwhile, Villainous just has heroes are bad and villains are good (except not at all. They just make them slightly less worse to make you think there's a difference). Not to mention so many characters that have zero impact on the story. Like that new Podemos agent that's going to be shown. I mean, great and all, but the others were defeated super easily and I don't even know their names apart from one. So, why should I care?
Also, please don't say that The Boys is an adult show. It being an adult show doesn't mean anything when it comes to good writing.

Hi Moon! Got a big favour to ask you. You see I got the Flug's log book I put the hidden codes together... And as much as everything worked *kinda* well the main and most important thing from the very beggining is just unreadable. I mean translator issues. In English it's a mess and in my national language it's even worse. Could you translate that thing I suspect to be some sort of prophecy into understandable English? I would be grateful. (Also, BH has no idea such prophecy exist right? 👀)
Hey! Yeah, I think it's time to post it here. Been a while already, I assume everyone that wants to read the book already read it. I will still tag this as spoilers.
Here's the prophecy translated! I took the liberty to space it how I saw fit so it's easier to understand in English, a direct translation of these kinds of things doesn't work too well as it's even hard to understand in Spanish with the cryptic wording:
'And those who shine will dictate and punish with promises to prevent the eternal shadow of life
Seven will blind with light and bring dawn to a terrifying transformation disguised as liberation through golden needles
This will mark the awakening of the one who swam in the river of stars to warn for the last time in its barefoot form and tell those with pure hearts
The end made evil did not come from within lit by hot crimson and blazing yellows
But from the deep and malignant darkness that sleeps beyond the spherical orchards
When the dome is extinguished and the stars spill on the ground the great union will be formed in vain for it will be sustained by foundations of terror and blasphemies.
Be afraid
Be afraid because despite the great union this will be the last lament of all dimensions.
Fear that moment fear that eternal night fear the Red Eclipse'
Here's the page of the book:
Tumblr media
If you want me to translate any more secret messages, point them at me :)
As for your last question... Who knows ;)

5 Tips for Creating Intimidating Antagonists
Antagonists, whether people, the world, an object, or something else are integral to giving your story stakes and enough conflict to challenge your character enough to change them. Today I’m just going to focus on people antagonists because they are the easiest to do this with!
1. Your antagonist is still a character
While sure, antagonists exist in the story to combat your MC and make their lives and quest difficult, they are still characters in the story—they are still people in the world.
Antagonists lacking in this humanity may land flat or uninteresting, and it’s more likely they’ll fall into trope territory.
You should treat your antagonists like any other character. They should have goals, objectives, flaws, backstories, etc. (check out my character creation stuff here). They may even go through their own character arc, even if that doesn’t necessarily lead them to the ‘good’ side.
Really effective antagonists are human enough for us to see ourselves in them—in another universe, we could even be them.
2. They’re… antagonistic
There’s two types of antagonist. Type A and Type B. Type A antagonist’s have a goal that is opposite the MC’s. Type B’s goal is the same as the MC’s, but their objectives contradict each other.
For example, in Type A, your MC wants to win the contest, your antagonist wants them to lose.
In Type B, your MC wants to win the contest, and your antagonist wants to win the same contest. They can’t both win, so the way they get to their goal goes against each other.
A is where you get your Draco Malfoy’s, other school bullies, or President Snow’s (they don’t necessarily want what the MC does, they just don’t want them to have it.)
B is where you get the other Hunger Games contestants, or any adventure movie where the villain wants the secret treasure that the MCs are also hunting down. They want the same thing.
3. They have well-formed motivations
While we as the writers know that your antagonist was conceptualized to get in the way of the MC, they don’t know that. To them, they exist separate from the MC, and have their own reasons for doing what they do.
In Type A antagonists, whatever the MC wants would be bad for them in some way—so they can’t let them have it. For example, your MC wants to destroy Amazon, Jeff Bezos wants them not to do that. Why not? He wants to continue making money. To him, the MC getting what they want would take away something he has.
Other motivations could be: MC’s success would take away an opportunity they want, lose them power or fame or money or love, it could reveal something harmful about them—harming their reputation. It could even, in some cases, cause them physical harm.
This doesn’t necessarily have to be true, but the antagonist has to believe it’s true. Such as, if MC wins the competition, my wife will leave me for them. Maybe she absolutely wouldn’t, but your antagonist isn’t going to take that chance anyway.
In Type B antagonists, they want the same thing as the MC. In this case, their motivations could be literally anything. They want to win the competition to have enough money to save their family farm, or to prove to their family that they can succeed at something, or to bring them fame so that they won’t die a ‘nobody’.
They have a motivation separate from the MC, but that pesky protagonist keeps getting in their way.
4. They have power over the MC
Antagonists that aren’t able to combat the MC very well aren’t very interesting. Their job is to set the MC back, so they should be able to impact their journey and lives. They need some sort of advantage, privilege, or power over the MC.
President Snow has armies and the force of his system to squash Katniss. She’s able to survive through political tension and her own army of rebels, but he looms an incredibly formidable foe.
Your antagonist may be more wealthy, powerful, influential, intelligent, or skilled. They may have more people on their side. They are superior in some way to the protagonist.
5. And sometimes they win
Leading from the last point, your antagonists need wins. They need to get their way sometimes, which means your protagonist has to lose. You can do a bit of a trade off that allows your protagonist to lose enough to make a formidable foe out of their antagonist, but still allows them some progress using Fortunately, Unfortunately.
It goes like… Fortunately, MC gets accepted into the competition. Unfortunately, the antagonist convinces the rest of the competitors to hate them. Fortunately, they make one friend. Unfortunately, their first entry into the competition gets sabotaged. Fortunately, they make it through the first round anyway, etc. etc.
An antagonist that doesn’t do any antagonizing isn’t very interesting, and is completely pointless in their purpose to heighten stakes and create conflict for your protagonist to overcome. We’ll probably be talking about antagonists more soon!
Anything I missed?
