1. Maybe the good people will retcon Raven into a tragic character, like Wes Craven did with Maureen Prescott. She was originally just a stupid serial cheater, but part 3 retconned her into a rape victim, who was eventually executed by her own son. The good people should really retcon Raven to one of our ideas or something. If I retconned her, I would give her postpartum depression, or maybe getting her murdered and being replaced by a malevolent person. If you retconned her, how would your retcon look like?

2. If you had a version where Hades is Hayden, I know you wouldn't cast Cate Blanchett lol. If she'll ask you "I'm the Goddess of Death! What were YOU the God of again?!", you can always answer "I wrote Anastasia, and she's the goddess of goodness. What did you brought to the universe other than death and misery?". You just gave me something to think about: I know Thor needed a serious help to kill her, as indicated when she broke his hammer like a toothpick, but how do you see her dealing with Zeus and his lightnings? And more importantly and agonizing for Hela, how do you see her surviving Hera's sick revenge plots?

3. When I think of it, there's also a good chance that Sergio/one of Sir Thomas' lackeys will convince Kar/Sir Thomas to piss off Anastasia, and therefore let her do the dirty work for them. This possibility makes me like Sergio as a villain even more :-). Just like with your stories, i'm always happy and willing to recommend you about good movies. If and when you'll watch it, I would like to hear your insights. There's something about "Sleeping Beauty" that doesn't adds up. Even if the Grimm brothers originally wrote Stefan as a good king, and therefore Disney's animated film was surprisingly close to the source, nobody asked himself/herself why a sophisticated woman would be banned from a party and be pale green with horns? They just assumed she's the mistress of all evil, and never asked themselves why Stefan was so specific about not inviting her? And supporting a boring prince just for marrying a boring princess and kill an acid-breathing dragon is something I can't understand. Of course Maleficent will be an acid-breathing dragon. Every rape victim wish to hurt her rapist and everything he holds dear, not to mention rapists deserves no better than having their face burned with acid. I want to hope some people mistake Stefan to be a good person because he's the father of the one-dimensional protagonist, because any other reason invoke very hard feelings.

4. A fridge brilliance moment: You named Jester's dead girlfriend Grace to show how deeply he fell from Grace. Damn, bro, you just blew my mind right now :-). From your description, I assume Jester and Jessica are missing in goodness. Magneto is the poster boy of MIGs everywhere. Would you say that MIG category also applies for Marlene (I see her as a bad woman, at least no better than Joel, but your opinion is just as good), Cassandra from "Tangled" (she came to my mind when you mentioned she could fit in "Dark Seraphs"), Harlemface, Roy Burns, Jason Todd and Varian? There most be others, but here all the possible MIG I can think about right now.

5A. Adam Beastman will be killed by Tweedle Dee in part 1 and Goldie Becker will be killed by Fox/Cat (who do you see as her most likely killer?) in part 4, but Molly and Dima (Stromboli's son) does make great substitute parents. Molly want to be a normal woman for the first time since practically forever and Dima want to be the parent his drunk father never was, so they are quite fitting to adopt the child, which will motivate Molly to work both as a cop and as a mother. Good thinking. Quazi is less likely, but he can work with proper planning. Your idea of Rumple's baby as a major character gave me ideas about "Neimerhold 2" as well. You recommended to write Charles as a reversed Magneto, with a daughter who firmly disagree with his vision. If I go for it, do you see the daughter growing up adopted and meet her father only during the story, or growing with both of her birthparents?

5B. Like Charlize Bridger, because the witch might abuse her husband verbally and emotionally vs physically so people won't see clear signs. A fridge horror moment: Gothel is worse, because at least Charlize have a dead sister. What Freudian excuse Gothel can claim to have other than being old? Did it ever accrued to her that she could be Rapunzel's babysitter and enjoy her fountain of youth by legal means and not risk? Maybe she couldn't, because my theory about her deal with the devil is right, but maybe she could and just went on the sadistic way because the thrill made her feel young again.

5C. From one massive egomaniac to another: Recently I've met a racist and unthinking user. As you can guess, I found about it only after a short conversation. Not giving names right now, but the man compared Israel to the Nazis. "The Israeli leaders are breaking the Palestines's man rights" and stuff. Conflicts in such high scale are more complicated than some people realize. Now, I believe i'll stay away from him, because I don't like racists and people who talk in confident about things that don't understand, and not even bothering filling the gaps of what they don't know by common sense. Here's what i'll say to him:

"''I need to tell you something important. Something that i'm sad to say :-(. I saw you wrote in your profile about Israel as one of the villains you hate the most, alongside with Nazis and colonialists, as if Israel and Nazis are on the same scale. Well, I don't wanna have a verbal fight, so I think we should keep a healthy distance from each other. For both of us. I'm not ruling you out as a person, and we can still meet in PE proposals/blogs like civilized people, but I don't know if we can be pen-mates.

Thank you for the short time I knew you, and I wish you a good day".''

5D. Hadn't got the time to complete the DS episodes you sent (I saw it. Don't worry. I have a little more time right now, and I hope to read the episodes you sent me soon), but I would really like to see Jester talking about his views about destiny. As said, a major reason of why Royal Pain and Princess Audrey doesn't have my sympathy is that one had a second chance and the other one was still young. Audrey is a better person that Royal pain, because she actually took her literal second life (she came back from the dead) and redeemed, but I still do not appreciate her pre-redemption prejudgment for the villains' kids just for being the children of villains. If Royal Pain was a mature woman, like Jaina Proudmoore after the world slapped her and lost her life factory, she could be more sympathetic. If Audrey was less entitled before her queen of mean phase, I could feel her tragedy. But I just don't like people who throw away second chances in life for hurting others instead of healing themselves/judge people for things they have no control over before even knowing them. If you want to picture Wu better, you can think of him as a less ruthless (despite being a bigger backstabber) and less physically capable version of Henry Posdonllo. Unlike Doctor Wu, Henry Posdonllo can be argued as sympathetic. He'll be grey zone for real, up to interpretation whether he's a bad man or missing in goodness. On a specific note: If i'll write an opinion blog post about tragic yet not sympathetic villains ("Tragedy isn't equal to sympathy"), do you see people read it?
