Usually, antagonists or villains are emo and gloomy, angry and aggressive, suave and sly, or any combination of that. They are not generally associated with positive traits in their personality, or at least positively-associated traits.

The Cure For Procrastination
Banes at 12:00AM, Jan. 26, 2023
I've been a notorious procrastinator. Well, notorious in my own mind at least.
Last summer my folks were goodly enough to give me a large pile of dirt.
Hey, did you say that's more than I deserved? You cheeky devil!
It was to fill some holes and ruts ...
We Hit Nothing!

Meet the Found Family
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 14, 2023
Last year (har har har obligatory New Year's Joke done) I'd started talking about Found Family, one of my favorite tropes in pretty much any narrative work, from movies to novels to comics and webcomics. Found family is when a bunch of characters, usually unrelated and mismatched, end ...
