reblog if you agree
Actually funny. Not making jokes at other people's expense, not the butt of the joke, just villains that have absurd senses of humour and top-notch intentional comedic timing,
CHARISMA!!! Please, can we have more charming villains, villains that can sway a crowd, villains that get away with things because their too polite, too well-spoken, too funny to possibly to evil.
Respected. Villains whose villainous deeds have led them to success and made them widely respected members of society. To be clear, this isn't respected person who is secretly evil. No. I mean, the bad things they've done are the reason they're respected.
Let them win. Let them win because their plan succeeded. Not because the protagonists fucked up, not by pure luck. Let them earn their victories.
Supporters! Lots of them. The more powerful your villain is, the more supporters they are going to need. If the evil king is unpopular with everyone he's not going to stay king for long. He needs allies, lots of them, especially if he's a tyrant.
Knows how to play the game. Manipulative villains who say whatever they have to to get their way, chose their allies and enemies carefully, bribe and blackmail, play the victim, the hero, or even the innocent when it suits them. Make it hard for your protagonists to convince anyone they are a villain at all.
Cold Steel. Give me villains that don't get angry easy, that laugh things off, that kill because it's efficient and for no other reason.
Clever and creative. Strategists who always have a trick up their sleeve and problem solvers with personal flare.
Show other characters reacting with fear. Nothing rams home how terrifying a villain is quite like watching other powerful characters fall to their knees--fast--when they walk in the room.
Irredeemable despite their tragic backstories. For the love of god people, tragic backstories do not justify a villain's actions. You can have empathy for what they've endured while still expecting them to take responsibility for what they've become.
Unconventionally attractive. Take this however you want. I, for one, would like to see more tortured bad boys who aren't white and shredded. But also, villains whose attractiveness lies in how they talk, their body language and facial expressions, and their outfits. Why do y'all think smirking is such a popular word??
Love. Let them love their spouses, their children, their friends. Not in an abusive way either. Let them have healthy relationships with their still living wives, daughters, sons, comrades in arms etc.
Kind. Give me villains who tip well, who put their own garbage away even though the servants could do it, who remember their henchmen's names, who are good with kids, who donate to charity and not just for the tax incentives

Law of assumption:
Before I start giving you guys my tips, I wanted to let you all know that I follow the law of assumption. Meaning a lot of my advice is going to be surrounding this law, which basically states that your thoughts and assumptions about yourself and your reality, manifest.
Leading us into TIP #1:
Accepting your truth as the creator of your reality.
It may feel like things are permanent and impossible to change right now, but that’s only because you’ve deemed them to be that way. It’s very easy to fall into the “victim mentality.” This way you can spend the rest of your time on this earth blaming the world for the way your life is, instead of taking both, responsibility and control over your reality.
Whether you believe it or not, YOU ARE THE ONE WITH THE POWER, except you’ve been giving it all away to your outer world by caving in and falling victim to whatever your shitty circumstances may be at the moment. And that is where you’ve gone wrong.
Your circumstances do not define you, you define your circumstances.
If there’s something that you want to change, you CAN change it; right now even. The only reason you’re having difficulty with this, is because you’re limiting yourself. So stop doing that and realize that there are no limits.
Everything you see in the outer world today was once only a thought. Anything you can imagine or create in your inner world, CAN and WILL reflect into your outer world if you deem it important enough.
The reason I say that is because whether you want something or not isn’t always relevant; if you dwell on it enough, and put a lot of your energy and focus onto that subject, it will manifest. This is why if you have an assumption like, for example, “all guys/girls are the same,” you will begin seeing a pattern in the type of man (or woman) you attract. Even if you find someone you think is perfect, if you still have that same underlying assumption patiently waiting to manifest when you least expect it, it sure as fuck will. You’ll then see that same perfect person slowly but surely turn out to be just like everyone else, because that’s what you decided they were gonna do.
However, don’t freak; you can change this by changing your assumptions, which I’ll dive deeper into a little later.
Moving onto TIP #2:
Getting out of your slump.
Taking breaks to reevaluate yourself and your life, and to work on your mental health is perfectly okay, until you use that as an excuse to completely give up. Sometimes shit can be hard, losing motivation is normal; which is exactly why you cannot rely on it to be the only time you choose to put in effort.
I know just how hard juggling both your depleting mental health and your mess of a life can be, which is why I’m not asking you to disregard your needs or to act like nothing is wrong. I’m asking for you to do the exact opposite, I’m asking you to take care of yourself.
Again, I know that it can be extremely hard, but at some point you are going to have to get out of bed and show your mind and body the love that it deserves. No step is too little, baby steps matter too; what’s important is that you try. Whether your accomplishment of the day is brushing your teeth, or reaching out to a close friend you’ve unintentionally isolated from, self care is self care & I’m proud of you.
Things you can do to feel better and be more active in your life:
Develop a routine— this builds self discipline and can help you feel more organized.
Make daily “To-Do” lists— this especially helps those who feel as if they’re being unproductive or wasting their days away because at least now you’re getting the things on your list done. And even if the things on your list are things you may view as small, they still count. They don’t have to be chores or something boring either, in fact, I recommend you putting things down that you like. Something productive and fun like drawing, maybe reading a book or finishing that show you ghosted last month.
Declutter your space— I believe that messy physical environments are most likely a result of a messy mental and emotional environment. Doing things like cleaning your room or not letting the trash pile up, shows that you aren’t going to give in to the laziness and that you are willing to make a change.
Declutter your space pt. 2— meditating and journaling can help you release the things casting shadows over the space inside your heart and mind, therefore giving you a safer, more calm and peaceful mental environment.
Find new interests/Break bad habits— get a hobby, indulge in things that bring you enjoyment and raise your vibrations. distance and detach yourself from people who keep you feeling low, and stressed out & change the music you listen to to songs that have a more positive message to them.
There are obviously way more things you can do, but I chose to list only the ones I feel are the most important so that this wasn’t too too long.
The last thing on the list is complimenting yourself— the way you talk to and about yourself is literally everything…which I’ll explain next, but no seriously, talk kindly to yourself. stop indulging in self deprecating jokes, and don’t surround yourself with people that do. building confidence and falling in love with who you are is definitely one of the best things you can do for yourself, and simply giving yourself a compliment each day is a nice start to making that happen.
Which brings us to TIP #3:
Developing a healthy relationship with yourself.
Realizing your worth: quit settling. be picky, have high standards bitch that’s okay!!! you shouldn’t have to lower your bar for a bum EVER, when there are people out there that WILL meet your requirements & give you the treatment that you deserve.
Setting boundaries: set boundaries with yourself and others, make it clear what you will and will not be tolerating. stop condoning behavior that the version of yourself you dream about wouldn’t.
Creating a good self concept: self concept is your belief system surrounding, you guessed it, yourself. think about who you want to be, what you want to attract, and start thinking from the perspective of that person because you are that person tf?!
What you think about yourself WILL manifest, in ways that you might not even notice you’re the one causing. Even saying something like “I have bad luck” is going to make bad things happen to you, at what you feel to be random times, but it’s not random; you manifested it.
Having a good self concept is essential. It’s not an option. I know a lot of people in this community say it is, but I’m telling you right now, it’s not. You shouldn’t want to hate yourself goofball. Stop making shit harder than it has to be and develop a healthy relationship with yourself right tf now.
TIP #4:
Affirming accordingly / keeping your thoughts in check.
This is VERY important okay? You MUST keep your mf thoughts in check because your reality is a direct reflection of your subconscious mind, and it will always be that way. You can’t affirm for a day or two and then fall back into that self hating rabbit hole and expect to see changes weirdo.
Stop over complicating affirmations. You’re constantly affirming just like you’re constantly manifesting, the only difference now is that you’re aware of it. For example: you ask your mom for McDonald’s, she says no, you accept that as true and go “damn, guess I’m not getting McDonald’s today.” And then boom, no McDonald’s for you. But if you were to have persisted in the assumption that you were getting McDonald’s that day, and she did say yes, then guess who tf is getting McDonald’s?! Yeah exactly. I’ve done this multiple times so I’m speaking from experience.
Some people like to loop their affs robotically, if that works for you…do that. If rampaging and ranting to yourself in your head, or outloud in the mirror works for you, then do that. If saying your affirmations as complaints works for you, THEN DO THAT!!!!!! you make the rules babe I really don’t gaf how you do it, just affirm for your shit and persist in that new mindset. For me, I recommend saying blanket affs mostly, affs that cover everything like:
Manifestation is so easy for me.
Everything always goes my way.
I have everything I want and more.
My life is perfect etc etc…
& then whenever you think of a specific desire you have, like clear skin for example, affirming for your clear skin:
“I love having clear skin” “my skin is flawless” and so on.
Remember that you can’t just do this for a week or two, and then when you get your desire you drop all of the work you were doing to fix your mindset and then slip again. NO. This is your new story, your new reality; you MUST persist in that shit always, just like you already do with the old story that doesn’t serve you.
So if you’re manifesting clear skin and you see a pimple the next day, you don’t go “man this ain’t even working. fuck this, I’m never getting clear skin” because that’s literally the opposite of what you’ve been affirming, and it’s a belief you already had impressed into your subconscious so further affirming for it just overwrites that affirming for clear skin you did the day before.
You are god. Anything you could possibly imagine can be yours if you really wanted it to be. Absolutely nothing is off limits. Period.
TIP #5, the fifth and final tip:
Carry yourself with confidence and know it’s done.
This means you do not react when something doesn’t go your way, that’s impossible. Just adapt the new mindset that everything always works out in your favor, because then the 3D has no choice but to conform to that fact.
You want to go to that party tonight but your parents said no? So? You are going to that party. Don’t sneak out or put yourself in a possibly dangerous situation, just know that you are going despite what they said. Mentally make them tell you yes, affirm that they did and go get ready bae.
You want that promotion but your boss is an asshole? No he’s not, he’s nice and he respects you. You’re literally his favorite employee, which is why you are getting that promotion.
Get it?
Don’t stress out about outer circumstances cause all that shit is temporary, it’s literally just a reflection of your old story. Write a new one, be confident in your power, and know that shit is done; everything you want is already yours.
you mean the time i have to write won’t actually be used to write my book? (o0_0o)

✦ life isn't meant to be hard
✦ i wasn't put on this earth to suffer
✦ i don't need to push myself to the point of despair for the sake of productivity
✦ i am the kind of person who good things happen to
✦ i'm not cursed, good things can and will happen to me
✦ i am extremely lucky
✦ i am constantly receiving good news and being blessed with miracles
✦ i deserve to rest
✦ i deserve to take up space
✦ it's okay to struggle and ask for help, other people also struggle, and they care about me and are happy to help
✦ i don't need to apologize so much. i didn't do anything wrong and i have nothing to feel guilty for
✦ it is possible for me to be healthy and live a happy life
✦ "i can't accept this, i don't deserve it" if you don't take it, someone else will, whether they deserve it or not. if someone's offering you an opportunity, or a present, it's because they thought you deserved it, and want you to have it, so stop being silly and just take it
✦ i'm not stuck with any identities. i can always change and become and better me. maybe i'm not athletic, but i can be. maybe i'm not organized, but i can be. i'm not stuck and i can change.
this post is a reminder to myself and others that we're allowed to take up space in this world and that we deserve to be happy just because.
we don't need to earn the good things in life by suffering and working to the point of exhaustion.
we don't need to thank people a million times for something they chose to do for us, we don't need to constantly apologize for being sad or needing help.
aren't we all human? aren't we all struggling, trying to figure life out? why is it that when it's me who needs a little help, suddenly it's burdening?
i think i have a hard time manifesting certain things, because i still see myself in a negative light, in many ways, and because, for a very long time, i believed i had to be humble, work hard, that suffering was something honorable.
i think this is something that comes with existing as a woman in this world, being so apologetic about everything, and it's something i really want to let go off.
me existing in this world as someone who does no harm to others is reason enough for me to deserve to take up space and live a happy life.
from somebody who just published their book:
people will send you selfies of them holding your book and it WILL make you cry
realising you actually made money? from the thing you created?? mindblowing. incredible.
putting your physical book on your shelf and staring at it alongside all the books that inspired you, knowing you finished something you poured so much of your love and care and time into
seeing how many people have your book marked as ‘currently reading’ on goodreads and how many more have it on their ‘to be read’
family members asking if you’re Still Doing That Writing Thing? and being able to tell them that you actually just had a book published, thanks, yeah it was pretty successful, it’s been a really smooth process,
the immense excitement of having successfully launched a book and knowing you’re going to do it even BETTER next time around
seeing all the different currencies and marketplaces in which your book was sold…..all around the world ppl are holding it in their hands…..and reading it…….incredible………
sales reports are frustrating and awful but hey at least you’re making sales!!!!!
you’re an Author now buddy! i sort of went by author before bc this isn’t the first time i’ve technically been published - anthology stuff! - but like, now it’s official, it’s the best feeling in the world
the selfies. they’re the best part. the selfies are incredible dude
the feeling that this is only the beginning of a long, exciting, wonderful journey as an author - and that the only way to go is up.
so get out there and get writing!!!!!! your book is gonna be in your hands someday soon and it’s gonna be an indescribable feeling.
you know when you’re writing and you think you’ve got the plot figured out, but then you write some more sentences, introduce a couple new characters, and suddenly you’re catapulted into the solar system, explodes like a supernova, gets sucked into a blackhole and slingshotted far beyond the observable universe

Law of assumption is literally so crazy! We are extremely powerful. We can change how many days/weeks there are in a month, how many months there are in a year, how many hours there are in a day, the name of the earth and how many planets there are in this galaxy. We can even create a planet with our own name! We can literally create humans that live on existing planets that are not earth. The possibilities are endless! And what's crazy is that we can achieve all this in a year or instantly depending on what our assumptions are! Our assumptions is constantly creating reality, we are in control of everything! We keep persisting in the assumption there's 24 hours in a day therefore there is but we can persist in 25 hours and that will manifest because your desire is inevitable. You keep persisting that there are 12 fixed months in a year but you can also decide to persist that there are 15 months in a year and that will manifest. Isn't it crazy!? We (most of us) probably don't question or doubt this assumption of ours and we keep persisting in it.
Moral of whatever this is: You are limitless and your assumptions are constantly creating reality! Stop questioning or doubting about your desire and keep on persisting! It will manifest because your desires are inevitable!
Sorry for the typos
😩 Where's the lie though? 😩
