They set up their mental defenses, and the other one tries to hack into their mind. So far, Callon has raided Whiskers' secrets only once, but Whiskers has only made it into Callon's mind when he let down his defenses during an attack so Whiskers could get vital intel. And being llet in was soulcrushing to Whiskers. He knew something was wrong because he's never had an easy time infiltrating Callon's consciousness, and this time he slipped right in. Callon was already dead, but he had backed up his consciousness to a soul crystal so he could be revivified in a clone body.</p><p><a href="https://meow.social/tags/TelepathGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TelepathGames</span></a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/SerialImmortality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SerialImmortality</span></a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/DeathIsFurreForManflu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DeathIsFurreForManflu</span></a></p>

RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist<blockquote><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/PennedPossibilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PennedPossibilities</span></a> 611 — Have you ever been able to relate to your antagonist / villain? If the answer is yes, then how so? </p></blockquote><p>Almost always yes. I like to examine evil and show how easy it is to fall into being a bad person—how for just a few decisions, things can go bad and you might not even realize it. </p><p>The main series antagonist is certainly someone everyone would want to know, and never suspecting she's so dangerous. She's loving. She teaches people and fixes a nationful of problems. She loves tea parties and starts wars. </p><p>Even the Doña was likable, motherly in a no nonsense way, being surprisingly supportive sometimes—like warning the MC away from a pop singer the MC had an eye on. She doesn't want to castrate the guy for treating the MC badly the way he's done other women. While the Doña is bad, she's also amassing power to redress a genocide the main series antagonist allegedly committed. Well, she's not entirely wrong that it happened... </p><p>I've one sociopathic villainous prizefighter who becomes progressively more extreme throughout the story and I <em>can't</em> relate to him. He's a misogynist and a racist, but I can somewhat relate to his awful handler. That woman's sympathetic backstory has her scrabbling to survive, succeeding when she finds the right guy before losing her boyfriend to the MC (really, to her jealous stupidity in picking a knife fight with the MC). She's had a bad life, and ends up working schismatic elements in the mob to try to bring down the MC, and the Doña who sees the MC as an ultimate weapon. The handler is poor at choosing her agents, however. Tenacious. Doesn't end well. </p><p>In another story, there's a Rasputin character who is repeatedly manipulated and conned into being as evil as she is. She's put faith in the wrong man, but is certain in her heart it's the right thing to do, that she's doing good. Throughout the trilogy, his actions test her faith until she sides with the MC. She redeems herself, but only in the eyes of the MC as some acts people can't forget. She's a study in forgiveness. </p><p>[Author retains copyright (c)2025 R.S.]</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoostingIsSharing</span></a></p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gender</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writersOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writers</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSdiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSdiscussion</span></a></p>

And give up on it, because that was when your writing sucked.</p><p>Getting edits on later short stories has helped. I head hop way less. Try to describe more. Edit a bit when I repost items to a new site. I do see more awareness of what I'm doing... I only hope others do as well.</p>

Plus, honestly, as ridiculous as it sounds, he loves learning about his friends or partners.</p><p>Dante, however, respects everyone's privacy and never peeks around in any homes or workspaces.

ig 🏳️‍🌈<p>even as the author, i don't punish my characters. the bad people won't be vanquished, at least not in this story. maybe this is overly peacenik-y of me. but i don't think stories need to have karmic justice meted out to be satisfying. after all, the real world fails to deliver justice most of the time. it's enough that the protagonists find their own peace.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/PennedPossibilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PennedPossibilities</span></a></p>
