Re: The whole "Dark!Character" trope

[(Anonymous)]

There's something interesting about the idea of the serial killer or assassin or what-have-you who looks and acts like a completely normal person and not even in a "cool" way but in an "of average attractiveness and not particularly smartly dressed" way. For some of these characters, like Wilson or John from Sherlock, it can be fun to imagine an AU where they're hiding something terrible under their fairly unremarkable exteriors.

There's also something kind of... well, I'm not sure "romantic" is the right word, but it's as close as I can think of, but this interesting, "romantic" notion that people can do horrible things and enjoy it, but still be nice people in other ways. It's like the gang member who is nice to old ladies, or hardened murders beating up child-rapists in prison because molesting children is going beyond the pale, or people being attracted to "bad boys" because if they're terrible to others but kind to you (or, at least, you think they're kind) that means you're ~special~. Or consider someone like Dexter - and I have not kept up with this show and only watched the first couple of seasons sporadically - who kills people, but only according to a code and not randomly. So, I think there's something kind of intriguing about a character who can be complex enough to do bad things without remorse, but not be outright evil either, and who may have limits to what they think is acceptable behavior and therefore it's possible to be safe with them, and something romantic about a horrible person who can chose certain people to be worthy of their love because (I guess) that means the love must be really, really strong.
