yo but mermaid monster hybrids though
vampire mermaids who prey on their own kind — when they get bitten, their scales fall off, their tails turn a slick and fleshy grey, a dorsal fin begins to sprout from their spine, and suddenly there’s six rows of teeth where once there was only one
mermaid medusas who’ve got eels for hair and it’s not their gaze that can turn you to stone but their song
fairy mermaids who’re born of spite and mischief — they’re small, the size of seahorses, and they speed through the currents causing mayhem and sometimes destruction
were-mermaids who turn into huge, hulking great whites when the full moon filters through the deep waters, who cannot be restrained because what shackles can you find in the deep?, who leave blood and guts in their wake
let’s see how many transphobics we can weed out
reblog to add +10 haunting power to your ghost when you die
Give them relationships with other characters. Being a villain doesn’t mean they’re isolated
Give them their own set of morals
Give them something to care about
Consider the reasons why they want to hurt the protagonist
Remember that they are human
Don’t make them evil for the sake of being evil
Keep in mind that a villain doesn’t have to do every horrible thing imaginable
Not every villain was abused. Someone who was spoiled is just as, if not more, likely to lack empathy than someone who was abused
Consider how they rationalize their behavior (blame their victims, make excuses, believe that what they’re doing is right) if you need a reference for this kind of behavior, look at how Trump defends the horrible things he does
Give them a life outside of being a villain. Maybe your protagonist is going shopping and they run into their villain and the villain isn’t interested or up for a fight that day. This really depends on the story, though
Give them a past, present, or future relationship with the protagonist. Again, this depends on the story
Consider making your villain likable
Give the reader a reason to sympathize with them
