Re: Why Do You Ship What You Ship

(Anonymous) 2017-12-20 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
My very few ride or die ships tend to be het between a male villain and female heroine, but the villain has to have cared for other characters (friends, spouse, kids, villain sidekick, henchmen, citizens of the country they rule with an iron fist, the Persian cat that they pose with in villain photoshoots, their noble fire-breathing, carnivorous steed, whatever) before they fall for the heroine.

If they have only one (romantic) exception to their plan to set the world on fire and rule the ashes, then I can’t ship it. I usually prefer the villain to have a non-villainous end goal that they’re willing to do awful shit to achieve, rather than a goal that’s evil in itself. So no genocidal maniacs, puppy-eating whackjobs, or soul-sucking demons. And it helps if the heroine is frustrated with their methods and tries to help them reach their end goal in a non-destructive way.
