I want the BBEG of my next campaign to be a power couple. The kind where they bicker a lot, but ultimately love and complete each other.
Any ideas?
Donald trump and Hillary clinton.
>>46549747
Arcane and Divine casters, always bickering about their types of magic.
Maybe even Liches that achieved their status through wildly different means. Sure the Arcane one offends the Divine ones religion, and the Divine one sees the Arcane one as a perversion, but in the end they always make up and have freaky lich sex.
>>46549747
But anon you already posted the best example.

Give us the cuddlefish!
>>46549839
Oh, I just thought of a fun game!
They can both cast Magic Jar, so they go to heavily populated areas (maybe even royal balls and such) and each possess someone. Then they have to find each other and either screw or fight to the death in their possessed bodies.

Indeed, The Monarch is the perfect example of a romantic villain, because his passion for evil is what makes him attractive. DMTM is a more complex character. She's attracted to the man, actually wants hims to succeed as shown by how much work she contributes to his cocoon. And yet, she does not herself share The Monarch's passionate hatred for Dr. Venture, so she objects to his most violent impulses. She stymies his passion, and throughout the show she is constantly trying to turn him into somebody she isn't attracted to. She also tries to upstage him to pursue her own ambitions. Their duoship is constantly on the verge of a break-up, but the underlying attraction is strong.

Wat? I have no idea how you got that impression. I can remember at least two occasions she has gotten upset more than once with him for not behaving like a villain. Once during the season OP's pic is from when he was in a huff over not being able to arch Dr Venture, and again this season when she thought he was just hanging around the house all day. Fuck, in another episode she even threatened to murder Venture herself if he didn't at least play along with The Monarch torturing him.
>>46549747
So, you have no clue how to use the term "BBEG", but insist on using it anyway.
>>46551827
Oh fuck off you twat.
>>46551847
Sounds like you need an education.
>>46551868
I'm not even OP, I just knew exactly what the intent of his thread is through context clues and a basic understanding of intention.
>>46551886
This. I know a few people get their panties in a twist when
>new memes
appear, but BBEG is a shorthand nowlike -punkso deal with it
>>46551886
That's because he's using an alternate definition that essentially makes using "BBEG" pointless. Might as well just use "villain" (or in this case, villains) if BBEG really is just a more obtuse way of communicating.
>>46551997Nobody cares.

Some anon had a thread a while back about an evil sorceress who needed to get a specific guy to impregnate her so that she'd give birth to the baby/monster baby destined to destroy the world. The twist was that they genuinely loved each other.

She wants him to orient the hate to a more productive target instead of arching Rusty who, even with the credentials the Venture name has, really isn't worth it.
>>46557189
Rusty is pretty worth it since the last season as he has all sorts of science shit he can steal.
>>46557284
With how readily she was to believe he was the Blue Morpho and how little she was willing to put up with his come on's I think she's re-thought how much Rusty deserves the shit Monarch gives him.

You're operating at a level of evil that could barely bring down a county, much less an entire country

The male is outwardly brutal and gruff.
The female is the kind that seems friendly, except that a lot of what she says is actually sinister.
"I will not cease until you are nothing but splatter beneath my gauntlets!"
He'd break your face for doing anything to her. His body as a shield, and he can TANK IT.
She is his soft spot and she loves to dote on him and protect his interests in turn by managing things in less direct methods.

No, this use of BBEG is more specific than villain, indicating both that they occupy an ultimate antagonist position and often have an almost "evil for evil's sake" portrayal.
Stop trying to pretend you're a member of some special souper sekrit club because you prefer some ambiguously different definition that, to be honest, you probably only made up as a reaction to change.
>>46554074
Threw up in my mouth a little.
Who do you think would top?
>>46551827
Please refer to >>46558588
BBEG, or as we all understand it to be
Big Bad Evil Guy
is used to refer to the main antagonist. It's the villain position in your story that is constant, and likely even influences the minor villains that you encounter. There's nothing wrong with there being a pair of them, as long as it's handled well and the combat is fun once it's finally time to throw down.

>Bats their "pet" aside easily and it skitters back off to its containment.

I never knew how much I wanted this.
>>46558630
Please, we all know that BBEG stands for Big Bad Evil GAY, as the term was originally coined to describe a type of stock character typical of the '60s "Homo-Thriller" genre of pornographic film.
>>46549747
Write a couple. Then give them goals that involve being the antagonists of the PCs while sticking together and being loyal to one another.
>>46558682
>Big Bad Evil GAY
All I can think of now is some evil lesbian couple trying some insanity so they can have a kid because their setting doesn't allow for magical sex changes and the local love god discriminates against evil aligned people for some reason.
>>46549747
The normal approach for Big Bad Evil Couples is to play the incest card.
>>46549747
BBEG is a warlock whose patron is/was his lover who somehow ascended to a greater power, now she's trying to ascend him as well so they can be equal.

The Lovers, from China Mieville's novel The Scar, are pretty interesting 'villains' that love each other.
He's from a culture that ritually scars women whenever they 'claim' them. She's an abducted slavewoman... who cut him back. They both left his homeland and now they have freaky cutty sex.
Even when they're apart from each other, they schedule a time to cut themselves in the same place to feel each other.
>>46560068
I never got the point of insulting cucks, isn't humiliation like key to the whole fetish? It'd be like calling a crossdresser a girly faggot, that's kind of the point.
>>46561199
you're under the impression that it's them who are the actual target instead of people who are afraid of being confused for them
>>46560096
I love Mieville's books.
The only trouble is that to read them, you have to read Mieville's books.
It's a damn catch-22.
>>46552435
Them being evil is not the problem, the problem is that you can't possibly write a buff girl and a magic boy getting together in a way that makes sense. It just doesn't make sense.
>>46561210
>people who are afraid of being confused for them
The only people bothered by being called cucks (as opposed to being annoyed by the people calling them cucks) are the same cuck-obsessed idiots throwing the word around in the first place.
It's like a cage full of monkeys who all just throw their shit at each other.
>>46561394
It's only an insult when you're incorrect to call someone it.
It's a terrible insult.
>>46551547
kek, I know a couple like that
>>46561454
Shouting "KEK" puts you on the same intellectual plane as the chimps dancing while watching "You are not the father"
>>46558349
Didn't she cuck a whole bunch, or that only happens in Sandman?
>>46558749
Wait, you mean for establishing them as bad guys, or defeating them?
Because, I mean, that strategy did work for Oedipus.
>>46549874
Cuttlefish, honky.
>>46561519
I think the idea is it demonstrates a disregard for social norms and is regarded as creepy/gross.
In my society I think if 2 people were caught practicing incest they would probably be regarded as creeps or the something. But I don't think violating that taboo is enough for them to be viewed as a threat.
>>46560096
>>46561294
I love Bas Lag as a setting but the plots are always such a huge letdown
The Scar builds an incredible world of pirates and naval battles and underwater monsters and civilizations
It ends with them literally turning around and sailing away from the dimensional portal without reaching it because they got scared
>>46561199
It's essential to shame people for undesirable behavior, otherwise it becomes a normal acceptable thing, like going to the shops in your pajamas or weighing 400lbs.
>>46551547
>Daisy is a terrible name for a 400lb immortal killing machine.
>But, Daisy was my mothers name. You never liked my mother.
>She tried to kill me.
>Yeah, but only like the once though.
I recall a duo from a D&D book. Started as two adventurers in a party who hated each other. After some adventurers together they learned they both were cultists the god of slaughter on a mission to kill the rest of the party. Then they butchered the other party members while they slept and left to start a hidden base of operations in a city.
Years later they planned to fire bomb the entire city with tons of alchemist's fire caches on the anniversary of the day they met.

No, it's quite the opposite. I feel so secure that I wouldn't get off if my partner was unfaithful, I would find a partner that wouldn't do that.
You cuckolds live in a fantasy world and it doesn't surprise me that the vast majority of you have never been in any real relationships.
>FINALLY GOT GIRLFRIEND YES
>OH NO IT'S JUST LIKE WHEN I WATCH PORNO VIDEOS

>>46562494
I dunno about essential, that strategy could easily backfire and kick people into "why even try" mode. Strategy will vary on a case by case basis and needs to be tied to specific goals. Discipline out of fear for punishment for example may only be as short-lived as its observational environment, whereas copying and incorporating other ideas can give people self-motivation and long term changes of their MO.
Nothing in life is simple enough to be reliably solved by a tweet-sized advice. Leave that stuff to fortune cookies and calendars with nature covers.
>>46565644
So you're saying we should coddle cucks?
>>46561506
I think when you tell your manservant 'turn that dude into a donkey, then have the donkey fuck my wife', we've gone beyond cuckolding, and donkey shows, and found strange new frontiers.
