Writing Notes: Antihero

An antihero - a central character who lacks the characteristics an audience associates with a conventional hero.

They are ambiguous protagonists—complex characters who have a dark side.

Despite a flawed exterior, a history of bad decisions, and even a questionable moral code, an antihero is ultimately guided by good intentions.

Tips for Writing an Antihero

Despite their flaws, antiheroes are realistic characters that readers can relate to. Here are four tips for creating a great antihero for your story:

Create a main character who is complex. Think of how you would write a traditional hero. Create your antihero by giving them the opposite attributes. If a hero is an idealist, your antihero is a cynic. Make them mysterious so their character is revealed bit by bit. A great antihero has flaws just like a real person. But despite an antihero’s weaknesses, their good side is illuminated as the story progresses. These contrasting qualities make an antihero more complex and interesting.

Give your antihero internal conflict. Every great antihero has an internal struggle driving their actions. Before you begin writing, sit down and flesh out the character. What event is the source of their internal struggle that informs their behavior in the story? As you write, slowly reveal your antihero’s backstory to let readers know what makes them tick.

Don’t confuse your antihero with the antagonist. For the antiheroes with misguided morals, the ends justify the means. They can explain away the bad things they do if the result is ultimately good and they emerge a hero. When writing an antihero, you can bring them to the edge of evil, but they’re never as evil as the true villain of your story. Unlike an antagonist, an antihero ultimately believes they are acting for a noble cause. Some characters, like the DC Comics character Harley Quinn, alternate between being an antihero and an antagonist, depending on the context.

Use supporting characters. In the TV show The Sopranos, antihero Tony Soprano had his therapist, who showed Tony’s vulnerability and made the audience have a soft spot for a guy who ordered a hit as easily as he ate a bowl of pasta. Create a side character who can illuminate your antihero’s redeeming qualities. The best antiheroes are the ones readers can’t believe they’re rooting for.

Types of Antiheroes

Think about the rough-around-the-edges antihero Han Solo compared to the traditionally heroic Luke Skywalker. Antiheroes go against the grain and are often social outcasts who operate by their own rules. Here are different antihero archetypes found in fiction:

The pragmatic rebel: The pragmatic antihero is a realist. They might associate with both good guys and bad guys and take whatever action they deem necessary to accomplish their mission. Their morals are, for the most part, good, but they won’t hesitate to do what’s needed to be heroic—even if that means taking out a few bad guys. They won’t intentionally cross a line unless it’s for the greater good, and they may still follow the steps of the hero’s journey.

The unscrupulous antihero: This is the antihero whose morals fall into a grey zone. They have good intentions but are driven more out of self-interest rather than the greater good. They can be cynical and have a jaded view of the world. Their actions are often dictated by past traumas and inner conflict, revealed through their backstory. They don’t think twice about how they achieve their goal and who they need to push out of their way, and they sometimes even enjoy the dark side. Annaliese Keating, the antihero played by Viola Davis at the heart of the show How to Get Away With Murder, is cutthroat and morally compromised, but her motives begin to make sense as the audience gets a deeper look into her inner life.

A hero by any means necessary: The titular antihero protagonist of the television series Dexter (as well as the novel it’s based on, Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay), borders on being a villain. Antiheroes like Dexter Morgan justify their behavior because it results in something that benefits society, even though their actions are questionable—and sometimes even psychotic. For example, Dexter might have good intentions as a vigilante serial killer of other killers, but his deeds are those normally associated with an antagonist.

Example: Walter White

Walter White is the main character of the TV series Breaking Bad.

As a man dying of cancer, White begins to make and sell methamphetamine to save money to support his family after his death.

As the series progresses, Walter White’s character arc is dramatic as he moves through the ranks of antihero archetypes, crossing every moral line and almost assuming the role of villain.

Told from any other point of view, Walter White would be the antagonist of this series but instead he is an antihero.

Prompt #178

Write the story of a young child being named the next ruler of their Kingdom, despite not having any royal blood or being raised in a royal household.

The actual greek letter and its translation

Μαζί σου, έμαθα καινούργια πράγματα που δεν ήξερα για μένα. Στην αρχή δεν μπορούσα να δεχτώ αυτή την απαγορευμένη αγάπη, αλλά τώρα όταν σε βλέπω, τα αισθήματα μου ξεχειλίζουν.

Αγαπώ μια χώρα και μιλάω μια γλώσσα που δε γνώριζα καθόλου. Όσο περισσότερο γνωρίζω τη χώρα σου, τόσο περισσότερο σε καταλαβαίνω. Ξέρω από που πηγάζει αυτό το πάθος σου και όλο και πιο πολύ το θαυμάζω και αγαπώ.

Το χρώμα του δέρματος σου και τα μάτια σου μου θυμίζουν το γαλανόλευκο της σημαίας μου και πιστεύω στην αιωνιότητα του αστεριού της σημαίας της πατρίδας σου που ταξιδεύει στο κόκκινο χρώμα της και συμβολίζει τη ζωή, που εσύ δε θα διαστάσεις να θυσιάσεις.

Για μένα είσαι όλα τα λάβαρα όλων των Εθνών, όλου του κόσμου. Όταν σε σκέφτομαι τα σύνορα, το χρώμα κάθε ανθρώπου και τα σύμβολα τους χάνονται. Όταν σε σκέφτομαι χάνομαι.

With you, I learn new things I didn’t know about myself. At first I couldn’t accept this forbidden love, but now when I see you, my feelings boil over/overwhelm me.

I love a country and I speak a language I never knew. The more I get to know your country the better I understand you. I know the source of your passion and more and more I admire and love it.

The color of your skin and your eyes remind me of the blue and white of my flag and I believe in the eternity of the star on your country’s flag that travels/sails on its red color and embodies the life you won’t hesitate to sucrifice.

For me you are the flags of all the nations, of all the people. When I think of you the borders, the color of every person and their flags disappear. When I think of you I disappear.

In time travel movies, when the time traveler asks 'What year is this?!?' they're always treated like they're being weird for asking.

When in reality, if you go 'What year is this?!?' people will just say '2024. Crazy huh.' and you go 'Wtf where has my youth gone.'

And if you ask 'And what month??' people won't judge you, they'll just go like 'SEPTEMBER!!! Can you believe it?!?!' and you go 'WHAT?!? Last time I checked we were in May?!?'

“Teach me how to love you Because I don’t know how to do it. Moments like this I stay alone with something impossible to describe. For that reason I want to build a new world and I want just you next to me in that world. Teach me how to love you. Let’s define everything anew. Let’s invent a new language for ourselves and let’s confess our love to each other in that language that no one else knows. Teach me how to love you. And I will teach you about bravery… How countries and borders will collapse for the sake of our love. And now I’m saying the most painful thing of all; I write letters you’ll never read and day by day I lose my own essence on these lines. I don’t know also what will be left of me. You, me, love, separation, death, life? I beg you, teach me how to love you. I beg you Hilal, promise me a country where we will live and die together.”

WANG XINGYUE as XIAO HENG The Double 墨雨云间 (2024) – Ep. 37

— How they kiss you [ Part 1 ]

Character(s): KRS Cale Henituse, Choi Han, Callisto Regulus

TW: None

Notes: Gender neutral MC || It's way too early for me to be thinking about this it's 1pm but I woke up like 2 hours ago so it's fine for me to say it's early but here we are

KRS Cale

Honestly, 99% of the time, his kisses are quite soft and lazy but not really short. He likes to take his time kissing you and doesn't really like feeling like he needs to rush with you so he's not too forceful

It's not a brush of the lips but you're not going to be kissed breathless unless you're the one that decides to go that far but that's up to you

When he kisses you, he prefers it to last and will want to hold you to keep you in place so he can kiss you but probably won't unless he's feeling really clingy or has really missed your affection

He's not the one to initiate kisses because he knows just how vulnerable he feels when he kisses you because he has never felt so warm and comfortable before and is still unused to it and maybe never will be 100% used to it but he's going to be the one to keep kissing you

Sometimes there are paused between when you kiss each other again where the two of you kind of both have your eyes closed and he'll kiss your forehead and mumble something that you never quite catch before he kisses you again, soft and slow like always

His kisses are warm and familiar, like a hot drink on a cold day while you're bundled up in blankets because he's so gentle and slow with you and it really does make you feel like you're on a cloud

Choi Han

He's a little confused but he's got the spirit

His kisses start off quite clumsy but really soft, just pecks at the beginning. He's never really kissed anyone before so you have to cut him some slack but he's trying

He spends a lot of the time kissing you trying to find out what you like and don't like but his kisses come to be quite quick and playful most of the time

Lips quickly pressed together with the ghosting of his tongue over your lips before he's pulling away again and then coming in to kiss you once more

He's a little shy with that kind of affection so you'll have to be the one taking the lead most of the time

He's so gentle when he kisses you whether it be when he quickly pressed his lips to yours of his own initiation or when you have to bring him in for a slower kiss and his breath kind of catches in his throat before he hesitantly puts his hands on your waist

Even when you initiate the kisses, they still end up kind of short to start with. It's like there's a build up where he becomes a little more confident

His lips are still so sweetly soft against yours but he's holding you a little closer and his hands are caressing your cheeks, mindlessly tracing your features as he kind of gets lost in the feeling of your lips on his

Callisto

Aha, gentle who? Oh no, honey, not him

Callisto tries to be gentle and manages for a couple seconds, lips soft and barely there against yours at times when he just needs your warmth for a moment, before he completely loses himself in his feelings for you

His kisses are passionate and sensual because he feels so deeply for you and his words often aren't enough to portray it because he still sometimes struggles with voicing his love for you so he does what he does best and talks through his actions

There's a a sureness in his actions that reflects his strategic planning for dire situations and he knows exactly what he's doing, exactly what to do to have you coming back to him and leave you breathless because he wants to know that you won't leave

He's teasing with nips at your bottom lip and the brush of his tongue and it has you letting out a little huff as he pulls away and you just know that once you open your eyes he's going to have that same smug smirk that he always does as he looks over your face, eyes trained on your lips

It's almost desperate at times when he kisses you, the feeling of your lips on his and the sight of then slightly swollen because of him reassuring him as much as the hand that he always uses to keep a hold on your hips that you're his
