    I Need To Make Something Clear

    I know I've been very absent lately but I still give advice to writers now and again as PMs. Lately there's been a problem which I need to remedy.

    My OCs are my own.
    Characters such as Cascadius, Colonel Peregrine, Nancy, Blue Murder, Tybalt, Shadowplay, Tungsten and others.

    Putting My Webcomic Out There

    Hi guys. Just to show you what I've been working on all this time.
    Deviantart and Tumblr are a bit...let's say shaky right now in terms of putting your art out there and I've been looking for more specialised sites for my webcomic.
    So I've finally got a Tapas page.

    Twenty-Seven years old today...and I'm told I still look seventeen. Don't ask me what my secret is, I'm just as puzzled, but not complaining.

    So I've Heard About The Rings Of Power

    So I'm actually quite looking forward to The Rings Of Power, the soon-to-be cinematic series based on Tolkien's Middle-Earth lore. The Lord of the Rings is probably my favourite film trilogy and, while it's debated to this day, I really enjoyed The Hobbit series.
    And there's something I feel I need to say...

Does The Countess Need An Excuse? · 10:25pm Feb 23rd, 2017

Honest opinion here...
If Countess Magnifying Glass had some kind of Freudian excuse for how she is or what she's done, what do you think it would be?

Comments ( 6 )

It's hard to see where such an excuse would come from, there's no sign of bullying or other abuse in her past, and she's always come across as the type who's just sadistic, and from what we've seen of her environment growing up so far, it was too sane and stable for a Freudian excuse to make much sense there.

If one were to come up, I'd suspect some kind of embarrassment that made her obsessed with never being shamed again, as the excuse she uses for her abuse is protecting the family honour.

It depends, how much do you want the reader to care about her? Do you want the reader to unstand her? Do you want some simple black and white morality? Do want vast amounts of nuance? Although some villains are just better off being plan evil and they have no reasons for it.

It depends what she has done and how much regret she feels for it.

4434462 Well, considering she's been abusing Derpy since her parents disappeared, now wants to kill Dinky, the Doctor, Mayor Mare, Fancy Pants and many others and sees as a matter of principle...if she has an excuse it had better be a good one. :ajbemused:

4435909 Indeed. I can alraedy see, her head overheats from too much thinking how she could excuse

4434383 Well, one needs a character your audience loves to hate.
I confess I've actually had a great deal of fun writing her scenes. :twilightblush:
