portraitoftheoddity:

Sometimes I want a villain redemption arc because I love the idea that no one is beyond the ability to turn themselves around and be better, and because a character got a raw deal and I’d love to see them offered compassion and given a chance to grow and change into the best version of themselves.

And sometimes I want a villain villainy-decay arc where they’re still an asshole, but now they basically just hang out with the good guys being a total gremlin while everyone tries to rehabilitate them enough to at least not stab anyone. Because I enjoy them and I find it hilarious.
