So... It's my birthday, and it's sorta tradition anymore for me to make a big post, because it also just happens to be the anniversary of my entering transfandom. :) Pretentious I know, but when can you be pretentious if not on your birthday? Last year it was fic, the year before art, so this year... essay!

Topic: Making your jerks obnoxious but likable, your villains villainous, and the difference between the two.
