Ahahah that would be a brilliant subversion.

"Nah I just kill them for the money but everybody's willing to let you join their team and forgive you if you say they murdered your wife/daughter."

[(Anonymous)]

"I thought you said your wife's name was Lily."
"No no this is my second wife. I had two. Both died. Terribly tragic"

[ketita]

Yeah XD
It actually suddenly hit me that I have a similar subversion in one of my stories. A character that you think is evil because he's misunderstood and had a horrible past and was experimented on etc. turns out to have been treated quite nicely by the scientists and is just a raging psychopath for no reason.

[ariakas]

OMG

Can I read this story?

[ketita]

sadly, it's from my magnum opus of a webcomic whose development has been on hold since my artist bailed on me T^T
So atm I'm just kind of working on the scripts and the conlang I'm inventing and whatnot, and someday I'll get to actually getting it out there...

(incidentally, it's the story that the dude in my icon belongs to)

[ariakas]

Well keep me posted if it ever gets off the ground because fuck me, for all everyone says that it's not the ideas it's all the execution, I desperately enjoy seeing some fresh ideas now and again.

[ketita]

:)
I mean, I hope the execution will be good too! But this comic definitely has ideas galore. I mean one of the main characters is an actual philosopher from a non-human species. I deal with stuff like posthumanism and alternative forms of modernity and culture clashes and such. And none of my heroes are particularly heroic, but they're also not anti-heroes haha.
*I* think I have some fresh ideas, but then again, I'm biased XD

[ariakas]

I've literally never seen that before and I consume media (especially sci-fi/speculative fiction) like breathing.

[ketita]

Well, OP answered me in a different comment about how there's a character from Kick-Ass who pretends to have a dramatic backstory but is actually just looking for thrills (the father, I think?). So that kind of counts?

I mean since sympathetic villains with backstories are so common, I'd expect somebody to have a subversion of that somewhere, with a sympathetic-villain-with-a-backstory turning out to just be a nutter.
