Search Results: absolute truth

So in real life, I absolutely hate people who are evil, and/or do bad things.

But in fiction... well heh, that's a different story. I just love an absolutely evil, seemingly overpowered at first villain who just strikes down the main heroes, who's a complete and total monster and does anything to get his/her way, and who may even kill those who are on their side. Plus, it just makes it all the more satisfying when they finally get struck down.

I also especially love it when despite being so evil, that villain also has a soft spot somewhere. Maybe for their sick grandmother or something like that. It shows that even the most evil of people have some good in them.

The best example of this I can personally name is Tuco and Gus from Breaking Bad. SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE SHOW! DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU! Tuco was an absolute monster, who when the deuteragonist of BB gave him meth, he didn't want to give him the money... then he put a lot of money in a big big, and pretended he was gonna give money to the deuteragonist... then, when the deuteragonist was gonna get the money, Tuco smacked him with the bag so hard, he bled out of his mouth and almost died. And Gus... when the main protagonist threatened to interfere in the killing of his brother in law, he said he would kill the protagonist's wife, son, and infant daughter. It was all the more satisfying to see Tuco and Gus get killed in the end. Of course, those are not the only things Tuco and Gus did, or even the worst, but just examples of how brutal they are.

When I tell people about this irl, they think I'm crazy, but it's still the truth, nonethless, however crazy it may make me.

Just for one day, I'd like it all to be real. All the good, the bad and the ugly. No small-talk unless you were genuinely trying to get to know someone better, no fake smiles and fake courtesies by shop workers who hate being on the clock wishing you'd just leave. Maybe it would be a mess, but at least you could see the truth, just for the day. I think we'd all see the world a little differently.

But it's not all bad. Because when you saw someone smile at you, or ask how you were doing, or even just making small-talk with you, you'd know with absolute certainty that it was genuine - that's something that would make us all smile, I think. And that's quite a nice dream, I think
