Villains: From Your HR Department to United Airlines | Totally Real Writing Advice

#authortube #booktube #literature #writingadvice #comedy #parody
From the cashier who refuses to bag our groceries to the attractive co-worker who takes your compliments about their body the wrong way, villains are an essential part of our everyday life. In this video, I'll teach you how to grab inspiration from your life to write complex, believeable and compelling villains.

There are many types of villains in fiction, however. We'll look at examples of corrupt villains, force of nature villains and anti-villains, the type of people readers and viewers end up sympathizing with.

As a writer, you need to create villains with relatable motivation, for example, murdering a dog that barks too loud. You need to give them a backstory to explain their villainy, like, for example, Humbert Humbert's pedophilia is explained by him being from France.

I love the abritrariness of the "villain types" writing advice videos are always trying to categorize everything. "This is the dog villain; this villain either is a dog or uses dogs to attack people, while they exhibit dog like behaviors, like barking, or peeing on your protagonists' rug."
