I’m starting to make some changes in mind for The Magic Of Sea Mermaids story like having Fluttershy’s Birthday happening but the most important detail I need is a villain. Someone told me there should be a climax in some sort without a redemption arc. For me, I can’t make up a villain on my own and I don’t want to use a villain from FIM and fit them in the Mirror World. It’s not really clever since Silverstream, Princess Skystar and Queen Novo are already part of this, along with other

Especially if the villains in question were ponies.

Tell me, what do these clips have in common:

Who is the hero and who is the villain?

It’s a question as old as time itself. We ask it to ourselves with every book or show or movie we read or watch. Sometimes you get a clear answer. In MLP, it’s always obvious that Tirek or Chrysalis, or Sombra is the villain. It’s spelled in black and white for us much of the time.

But real life isn’t black and white. Real life is a gray area.

"Chrysalis, how do you spawn, anyway?"
She didn't blush per se, but she still averted her eyes uncomfortably.
"Why would you ask that of a changeling? What are you, some kind of wierdo?"
"Just curious. But I insist!"
"Same as you ponies, I suppose, but fine." ...
"Watch closely."‎

I wasn't satisfied with Strong Hoof's design. It felt a little... lacking in sheer intimidation. So, I gave him another go and made a much bigger looking stallion that definitely should live up to his actual description within the story!

And for comparison sake, this is the old design.

The new design has been added to chapter 30 by the way.

After some of the developments in the first half of Season 8, I feel it's only natural to update the list. There are some things that need to change, and at least one newcomer to consider. Here's the previous version, from the end of Season 7, time to see who moved up, who moved down, who got knocked off, and who got added. As always, this list is purely the result of my personal opinion.

With a season having come and gone, it's time to look at the villains again and see what's changed. We actually didn't really get a lot of new villains this season, major or minor, we just had the one (Daybreaker doesn't count, since we have no idea whether she's just a vision or an actual separate entity). Here's the previous version, from the end of Season 6. Let's see who moved up, moved down, who got knocked

I thought of a villain alicorn OC last night while I was asleep, but I can't decide on what to name her: Princess Umbra or Princess Tundra.

What do you guys think?

Everything I Needed To Know About Life, I Learned From Supervillains

is an awesome blog post by PJ Eby, author, self-improvement guru, & LessWrongian, on his blog, DirtSimple.org . I can't improve on it; I'll just quote part of it:

In the movies, the villains typically:

I held off on doing this list until now because I thought "Rainbow Roadtrip" at least was going to debut a new antagonist, but it didn't (which is not necessarily a bad thing, you can have a compelling story without needing an antagonist) and the new villains in "Sunset's Backstage Pass" were so forgettable even by twist villain standards, so there was no point in adding them to the list. So we're back to villains that have already existed or been established, no newcomers. And considering

I just love writing characters a lot. From heroes, to anti-heroes, to supporting characters, etc. But if there's one thing I'd love to write more, it's the villains and anti-villains. Whether big or small, serious or goofy, sympathetic or monstrous, villains are one of my breads and butters in terms of character writing. I'm not saying that I don't like writing hero characters or any other characters. I just think that villains are the most interesting types of characters from my point of

As the title asks, is it bad to write sympathetic antagonists, especially nowadays? I'm not saying that because of my OC or anything like that. I'm saying that because people mostly seem to be drawn to antagonists/villains who are just malevolent forces, large hams, and/or those who might be evil just to be evil than those who are more tragic and/or sympathetic who are more realistic and believable for the most part, based on what I've seen, heard, and/or read. I just don't know why or if

Hello Everyone, This is Grand-Galvatron,

The only thing I had against later EQG Moments is that the villains were no longer competent and did evil for petty reasons instead of doing evil things just for the sake of evil or intent that could bring about the end of the world, like Midnight Sparkle once tried.

So I am doing my own EQG Villian Oc.
