Villainous deeds indeed

I have a deep confession to make....

"I love Villains".

Its sadly very true.  I spend more time dreaming over the baddies in novels and books.  So, therefore, it's hardly no surprise that my NaNo novel is pretty depended on my villain. In fact, I have 'written' enough background on my Naranbaatar/Narl that I can probably write a book for him..which I totally should.

Anyway, I'd thought I should write a post about some of my favorite Villainous boys.

Should it be any surprise Loki is number one of this list? I mean, come on, honestly....

Is this the face of a malicious man? No? Yes? Well, whatever you answer, Loki is one of the coolest Villains. Coolest in many ways. He is the god of mischief. I can't help but think, I'd be good friends with Loki. And even in Mythology, He didn't do things to be bad, but to entertain himself. A trickster. A Joker. A cutie clown.  Of course, Tom Hiddleston playing Loki does influence that like factor.......Now, granted, he is much more bad in The Avengers, but I still think he isn't terrible.  Ok, no, he is terrible....but it all stems from being the innocent prankster somewhere down deep.  You all have permission to call me physco now.

I honestly don't understand why I adore Durza....But for some reason, he seemed to be so much, more, then Eragon.  I was heart broken when he Durza died. I mean, come on, the most powerful Shade, gone because he lost his attention because a Dragon came through the roof...honestly? Honestly? Honestly?
I went through the second book moping over his death, and groaning each time because he wasn't there.
And I hated Eragon with a fury.
But, in book 3, I realized Eragon wasn't all that bad, and decided, him being the hero after all, I should try my hardest to like him. And I did.
But I still do a little heart sob whenever Durza's name comes up....

Oy! It's everybody's favorite 12 year old Criminal master mind, Artemis Fowl!
From the moment I opened the book, I went, "Oh, this is a badass kid. I love him" and ever since, I've had mized emotions on this Young Moriarty. He is 12, I'm 16. I think I've grown to respect and adore in a big sisterly way.  Not so much outright adore. Though, I could. If he was older.
(Ya know its bad when you think, "If this boy was older, I'd love him" and he is fictional...*facepalm*)
But, of course, there is no discrediting Butler. I have said on many occasions I want a Butler like that.
Artemis embodies the little child in all of us, the child who still believes in Fairytales, with the cold cunning of a crime lord. How much better can it really get?

{I have not, in fact, watched OUAT, but that does not affect my ever bounding affection for this giggling Villain}.  The first I ever saw of Rumpel was the traditional fairytale that, lets face it, is stupid. (Maybe i shall do a post on the stupidity of fairytales....).  I am rather pleased with the way Once Upon A Time redid this 'lovable' fellow.  The second I saw of him was a youtube video of him laughing in different scenes.
There is a phrase I'm looking for...oh...

"Hook, line and sinker".

How does someone so horrid be so adorable at the same time?  I have since watched every youtube video of him and Belle I could get my fangirl hands on. And, I have literally no idea how someone could hate him.  Durza, Loki, yeah, I can understand where they might have haters. But what is there to hate on this adorable little giggling bad dude?

Someone once told me they didn't like him becuase he is the villain, my reply?

"Well. Hate him then. I adore him. MY LITTLE SUNSHINE EVIL DARLING!"

So there.

I'm not going to say much, since it's hard to concentrate on not blinking, and thinking up something witty to say....moving on....

Dracula was the first Villain I actually loathed. Yet...liked because he had won the loathe award. Ah, why am I so complicated? I have not watched any Dracula movies, just read the book (I actually haven't finished it...I need to do that...). And I won't let myself read it unless its late at night, and I'm the only one awake, because, that's just the way it should be read, in the dark, where every noise makes you squeak and dive under your blankets, as if that will ever protect you..... XD

No list of villainous punks would be complete with Jim (or James, whatever you prefer) Moriarty.  I was always intrueged by the Professor Moriarty in the story, and rather bummed out that he only had one story. I always wondered, who really, was this great man?

 The Basil Rathbone Moriarty was alright, except for the fact that he was 'killed' and yet, survived each time he came up, and had a complete change of face later on:

Which, was rather disgruntling, but, hey. Plastic Surgery can work wonders....I guess....

 

And then I saw Daniel Davis' portrayal as The 'honorable' Professor. In one Star Trek episode, they portrayed such a different, and yet, same, Moriarty then I had ever known, and it launched my love for this great baddie.   It showed a strangely human (Human...ehehehehehehe. Seeing how Moriarty was a holograph....And yes, that was a Loki laugh) Moriarty, one who actually was a person, and not just an embodiment of bad guy.

Daniel paved the way to big finale....

Andrew Scott=Best Moriarty ever. 

And then, to be fair, we can't leave Jared Harris' Mo out....

He did play a rather good Professor Moriarty, I like how they showed his 'Professor' side. Something the other portrayals of him seem to forget....He ISN'T just a bad guy.

But he is one mega Villain all the same.

And that concludes my favorite men of Villainous deeds, but, in any line up, we have our runner upers:

The Nazgul. I just like them. They be coolio. No reason, no argument to back myself up, I just do.

Ok, come on. I'll admit, the only reason Gru is a runner up is because, One) He isn't a villain at heart and Two) He is such a cliche villain. But, he pulls the cliche off very well....

I'd like to take a moment to think on this man's total badness. I mean, he is bad.  Truthfully, he should be more then a runner up. But, this is a list of my favorites, and he just isn't one of them.  He is a good Villain, a bad villain, a kick butt villain, a horrifying Villain, and honestly, a believable villain. He doesn't yell, but is soft spoken, he doesn't torture you (Unless you happen to be a certain fashion designer named Cinna...) but instead locks you in a room with poisons berries. But, like I said, this was a list of my favorites, not the best. 
President Snow truly is right up there with the best.

 

I honestly planned on putting Palpatine up in my favorites, but upon thinking about it, I decided to move him down here. He just isn't my favorite. Thats Darth Vader, and I've never considered Vader a villain...rather, an anti-hero, or lost hero, or Hero-what'cha-will. 

First off, let me state, Onceler is adorable.  Even his Greedler self is adorable.  I'm currently putting together a cosplay of his striped pants, vest and cute little hat.  

But He isn't truly the villain in 'The Lorax', At least not in the movie, and not really in the children's book either.  SO I can't really classify him as a 'favorite villain' but a 'favorite animated movie character'? Oh yes.  His face is now on my Laptop screen, my iphone lock and home page. 

I realize Mr. Joker deserves to be way higher on this list, but I haven't watched Batman, only the funny Joker clips, so here he stays.  But, Le Joker wins le reward for being able to make us laugh while still being horrified at his actions.

And, this is the end,  since I have the feeling I'm just pulling villains out of my head now, whether I like them or not, since I am enjoying this post so much. I should do more posts on Villains...actually no. The fact that I'm enjoying putting down all my favorite baddies might actually be disturbing...I should probably see a Doctor, the mental sort, for that...

So, thoughts? Do you agree? Disagree? who would you add to this list? Nothing pleases me more then comments, except chocolate, ya know. ^.^

Signed off with a computerish whirring noise, since this is a scheduled post, 

and therefore, controlled by the lovely thing that is blogger:

Ashley

Today is an Awesome day!

 That picture probably sums it up. I shall include a BUNCH of pics and GIFS. You have been duly warned.

(I'm listening to Cantina Band on Playlist.com, BTW)

 Happy Force, uh, I mean..FOURTH!

This might be a Star Wars day, BUT, I am a Trekkie. Don't take it from me.

Darth Vader: [kneeling before Emperor Palpatine's hologram] What is thy bidding, my master?

The Emperor: There is a great disturbance in the Force.

Darth Vader: I have felt it.

The Emperor: We have a new enemy. The young Rebel who destroyed the Death Star. I have no doubt this boy is the offspring of Anakin Skywalker.

Darth Vader: How is that possible?

The Emperor: Search your feelings, Lord Vader. You will know it to be true. He could destroy us.

Darth Vader: He's just a boy. Obi-Wan can no longer help him.

The Emperor: The Force is strong with him. The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi.

Darth Vader: If he could be turned, he would become a powerful ally.

The Emperor: [intrigued] Yes... He would be a great asset. Can it be done?

Darth Vader: He will join us or die, master.

 

Even when I was little, this scene made me so sad. "How is that possible?".

R2D2 always makes me go, "WHA?!?!" Why did that stinking little droid not spill the beans? Whats up with'im? Sheesh. R2, that was mean.

Some of the Universe's worst bad dudes.

Okie Okie. We say that a lot. These guys are hilarious. Even though you can't tell them apart...

This Fourth really is. But, its a happy madness. I'll be sad when this day is over.

Hey, know what you can get me for my birthday? An Iron Lady suit...

AND!!! I MIGHT GET TO SEE IT AT IMAX! Not promising anything, mind you. It's still in the Parental pass mode..so..pray and keep those fingers crossed, got it?

I wonder if I could rent a Black Widow outfit short notice from somewhere....

And, and, and because I just love Despicable Me as well.  

And, this:

One of my all favorite Sidney Paget pictures. And...now I just need to find a way to let Moriarty NOT die in my Miss Holmes novel.

Well, they say it best:

 And, you might want to assemble while at it.

Ma Journee {Entry 4}

Well, today started out late.  I woke up, and the clock's read 10 AM.  Record people. I hardly EVER sleep in that late.  It's like, almost impossible.  After 7, I'm much to wide away to go back to sleep until at least 5 PM.

Well, the mail had already ran before I was truly up and about (I normally walk around like a zombie for five minuets after waking up).  And I got a lovely from the one and only Rachel from Dramatic Elegance:

It is from my all time favorite online store, Shabby Apple.
Really, they are a BEAUTIFUL shop.  Most of their items are modest, vintage, and totally chic.  You should SO check them out.  I've been wearing my necklace clock all day.
And  I got a compliment off of it today at the bank.  Don't you love it when that happens?

We ate Brunch (a mix between Breakfast and lunch), and started getting ready to go to town.

How many girls do you know, that dress and primp themselves up just to go to the library?  I look like I'm going on a date most of the time.

I'm a new driver, (New meaning, has only driven on a paved road two or three times), but I drove halfway to town today.  Without killing us all.  BIG achievement people!

First off, we stopped at the bank, as my brothers and I had to cash a check, we use two separate banks, so that was two stops.

Then, to Heaven (AKA, the library).

I really love that place.

My selections for the month?

Amarathine from Amarathine Forever suggested this book series, and I got the 1, 2 and 4. (I thought book 4 was book 3, so, it was a slight confusion.).  And, OH MY GOODNESS OH MY GOODNESS.  I already adore Artemis.  A 12 Year old super villain with Sherlock Holmes personality?  I'm only on page 34, but, Wow. Amazing.  And, I heard they plan on making a movie? Buy me a ticket, and reserve me a seat.
Oh, and Butler. What a sweet, gentle, gun toting, giant of a fellow. 

I haven't started this yet.  I just saw how it said "James Bond and Harry Potter mixed together", and while I'm not a HP fan..exactly...I have been going through this James Bond faze.  Thanks to Mirriam and Finn McMissile.

I realized how few 'girl' books I read.  So, I decided to throw myself a curve ball, and see what happens.

 Dunno much about this one, just thought it sounded neat.

I am an Agatha Christie tycoon, nearly.  I love her books, They are better then Arthur Conan Doyle's work.  There, I said it.  But, Sherlock Holmes is, and forever will be, my love.  I adore Holmesie with all my Fangirl heart.

And this.  I am actually reading a Star Wars EU. 

Now now, no need to look like that.
Since reading reviews, I've learned that this probably isn't the best EU to start out with, and while I'd prefer to start out with Thrawn (I LOVE HIS EYES!!!), I can't help that they didn't have any there.

So, Thats that.

I need to get back to Artemis.  I think he is calling my name. 

Read this. Its a blog party with prizes!

Oh, thought y'all might like to know, I no longer look like that in my picture. My hair was cut.  To the shoulders, short.  And, it looks kinda retro when I use a Curling Iron!!!! I love it.  AND, I got it cut at Merle Norman.  I felt super.  I love it.  

This is kinda how it looks, only, my hair is different from hers, naturally. But it still looks BEAUTIFUL. If I may say so. :-D
