  • How do I introduce my hero and villain to each other?

    So I'm writing a book, and I have both a hero and a villain with conflicting motivations, the hero wants to be the savior his mother never had, and the villain wants to kill off everyone because from a series of incidents, he believes that they're not worth saving. They both have the same origin story, just took it on in different ways. Well, the problem is that I have no idea how to introduce them to each other. Can someone help me out please?

  • Does this superhero/villain motive work?

    I m making a superhero story. In this story the antagonist and the protagonist are brothers, and were subjected to exactly the same traumatic event that triggered their life choices (Their mother was murdered). One brother saw the situation, and thrived to become the savior that his mother never had. The other brother, saw the injustice in the situation and grew to see the human race as purely evil. My question is, does this motivation fit between the two of them? Or should they have completely different motives?

  • Are Video Games and Movies causing Desensitivity?

    I have been an avid gamer for as long as I can remember. I also get A LOT of free time, so I use most of it to watch movies and stuff like that. Recently I noticed that almost nothing scares me, I hardly get phased by anything, and it's very hard for me to get enthusiastic about a certain subject or event.

    Right now, it's rare for me to have intense emotional feelings for anything and anyone. Is this a common occurrence for people like me? Or am I just over reacting? Thanks!

  • Would a high decibel, with a low Hertz cause damage?

    Let's say I owned a special sound track. This special track, emits a frequency of around 5 - 10 Hz, a sound that probably can't be heard. But at the same time, emits 150dB or so?

    First question, would this even work? Secondly, if it did, what would happen to someone if they were to hear it?
