you know what’s a really good trope? “the power of friendship” but they’re all VILLAINS. just a bunch of sexy, unhinged, & morally bankrupt characters who would do anything for each other. absolutely unparalleled

I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, but for a good read from a Villain perspective try A Practical Guide to Evil
Any Dnd Party?
Exactly my thought. If you don’t have a session once a month where you look around and ask “are we the baddies?” then what the heck are we doing here.
You have sessions more than once a month?
Seinfeld.
You’re describing Seinfeld.
Stupid, sexy Jerry.
the episodes of the venture bros where the monarch is forced to interact with other villains are the best.
Baron underbite knocking on the monarch’s door for a place to crash because he “just got divorced”
Dimension 20 basically did this with Escape From the Bloodkeep and it was, as usual, fantastic.
My first thought! Although apparently it was designed to end in PvP. One of the best seasons in my book, definitely the top sidequest season.
Heros: “We did it, we finally killed the evil bad guy”
The evil bad guy’s 12 best friends:
Organisation 13 if they care for each other
Huh, I just realized why I like the Fast and Furious franchise so much
kinda reminds me of iasip
I thought of Lost. They’re not all villains, but they’re all kind of shitty.
Basically the Harley Quinn show.
Harley being Batman’s therapist and keeping his identity secret (“Doctor-patient confidentiality”) was one of the most wholesome things ever.
Woof, woof!!
Was gonna say
Jessie and James and Meowth
This reminds me of the Phantom Troupe.
Anybody read Worm by John McCrae / Wildbow? It’s this and it’s really really good https://parahumans.wordpress.com/
Actually, now that you mention it, Worm is this to a tee. Worm is still probably one of my favorite reads to date; highly recommend (it’s like a The Boys with less evil corporations and more X-Men)!

For all the praise, I’m not entirely sure I liked the ending, but the rest of the book more than makes up for it…
I keep telling myself to get around to reading Ward, but so far haven’t had the time to commit to it.
Kinda like It’s Always Sunny, but better
I’m currently reading a series called Everybody Loves Large Chests. The protagonist is a dungeon mimic who gains sentience and levels up. It collects a bunch of sexy villain characters along the way. Surprisingly compelling.
It’s weeb degeneracy with rape, fantasy Nazis, and a loli that shouts Ora Ora as she punches because the author took a fantastic premise and smeared shit all over it.
It got recommended to me by a Redditor.
I do not forgive their sins, or yours for spreading it.
