Villains Don’t Always Need A Tragic Backstory
Not every villain needs to secretly be a good person who was hurt by society. Sometimes a villain is just a villain. And honestly? That's perfectly fine. A complicated backstory can be great, but sometimes it's refreshing when a character simply chooses to be terrible and the story doesn't make excuses for them.https://animecomicsandmanga.wordpress.com/2026/10/14/villains-dont-always-need-a-tragic-backstory/

A quotation from Hannah Arendt
Nobody knows what is going to happen because so much depends on an enormous amount of variables, or, in other words, on hasard. On the other hand, if you look back on history, then retrospectively, even though all this was contingent, you can tell a story that makes sense. How is that possible? That is the problem for every philosophy of history. How is it possible that in retrospect things always look as though they could not have happened otherwise?
Hannah Arendt (1906–1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Interview (1973-10) with Roger Errera, Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française (ORTF)

I have blazed through contradiction.
I swam in nil.
I am the ground beneath myself.
I am the abyss that breathes beneath the sea.
I burn. I breathe.
I want to breathe it all.
Now I know how to fall...
but what happens if I rise?

Was genau ist mit #Storytelling in der #Wisskomm eigentlich gemeint? Die TU Darmstadt hat das mal erklärt:
👉 https://empowertext.de/ergebnisse/narrationen/
Beispiel: Manche wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse oder Projekte lassen sich als Story erzählen, statt nachrichtlich darüber zu berichten. Zum Beispiel als Heldenreise eines Wissenschaftlers oder einer Wissenschaftlerin, also mit Fehlschlägen, deren Überwindung und schließlichem Erfolg. Hier mehr:

“I am not a robot.”
Introduction When was the robot actually born? The robot’s birthday could be February 30, February 29 on common years, or even December 32–each associated with dates on the calendar that do not exist in real life in the modern day! February 30 is a day that has existed in at least a few calendar systems in the distant past, yet not in the modern Gregorian Calendar, yet February 29 is a date that exists only on leap years! Every common year has 365 days, intentionally excluding the 366th […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/10/11/i-am-not-a-robot/

Do I need the ground?
I am the ground.
I am my own ground.
I breath beneath the sea.
I burn and burn,
and still I yearn:
for the bliss—
the bliss of abyss.

Hypothetical that I'd like to explore:
If a person were to try to create some piece of fiction that took place in, say, Gotham City, or on Gallifrey, or Tatooine, they'd have their asses sued off by DC, or the BBC, or Star Wars/Disney, because those locations come from movies that are copyrighted. You can't use those settings until the copyright expires.
With the release of the recent _Backrooms_ (2016) movie, we have this interesting piece of commercial media that is based on a culturally owned story. The Backrooms as a concept is not copyrighted, because Kane Parsons (the director) didn't invent it. The concept comes from a collection of several unnamed nobodies, who made stuff, put it on the internet, and then it entered into the shared folklore.
If somebody wanted to write a companion film, say, "The Backrooms: Revisited", set within the same setting, and using many of the same tropes as were established within the Kane Parsons film -- the backrooms being a "copy of a copy", memories of the past, passing through walls to enter the backrooms, gateways appearing all across the world suddenly, etc -- what copyright rules might stop them?
Elements which existed within the folklore already surely would be seen as fair game. What about elements that are natural extensions of the existing lore? (it seems the place being a "copy of a copy" of the real world is new, but it doesn't seem a big stretch from the existing folklore)
Sure, we couldn't include Clark or his furniture shop. That's obvious. We couldn't tell their stories.
But it's very curious. To see a piece of fiction so commercially successful despite drawing so heavily from a contemporary piece of collectively constructed folklore, no?
It seems to me that this kind of work almost puts into plain view the contradiction between the creative energy of the folk tradition and the restrictive powers of our rigid copyright system.
Thoughts?
