Some of my favourite Villains.

Welcome dear readers to my blog. For today's blog post, I am going to go through some of my favourite villains. Villains do bad thing of course and this often includes committing crimes. Here is my list.


1: Sacha Dhawan's version of Doctor Who.

When Sacha Dhawan's character 'O' was introduced to the 13th Doctor as the master, that to me instantly became iconic. He was the epitome of a villain. Everything small thing he did was pure evil. Every time he saw the doctor, he always had wicked words for her. Plus, let us not forget when he was able to make the cybermen regenerate, how horrible!


2: Bianca Del Rio - drag queen who has appeared on Drag Race amongst other stuff.

Drag Race winner Bianca Del Rio who has done various things such as portraying Loco Chanel in the musical Everybody's Talking About Jamie has long been considered a villain in the Drag Race world. I must admit I have noticed that she can read other people very well. For those of you unaware, reading is where someone will throw shade at one they know without being out rightly horrible and nasty.

Bianca is honest and lets people know what she thinks. She is a great queen with wonderful personality.


3: Scrappy Doo - Various Scooby-Doo franchises.

As someone who grew up on Scooby-Doo has loved it ever since, of course Scrappy Doo made the list. He wasn't always a villain but seeing him when the Scooby-Doo movie came about, established him a villain for sure. He is a crazy kind of villain. The way that the mystery gang dealt with him though was funny and showed that villains can be defeated. I enjoyed the way that Scrappy though was able to manipulate everyone and trick them all. When I watched that film for the first time, I had no idea Scrappy would have been at the helm!


4: Sienna Blake - Hollyoaks.

Sneaky, manipulative and determined to always get her own way, Sienna Blake is an iconic soap drama villain. She hasn't always been villainous, but her villainy is never gone for good. As someone who used to watch Hollyoaks and got back into it, I have seen Sienna in it for years. I did pity her when Warren took her hostage and kidnapped her children one by one. I remember seeing older clips from when she kept poor little Tom hostage at her mother's old house. She was murdered by her half-brother Will who ended up holding the whole family hostage upstairs while Tom was in the basement. Sienna was taken hostage and immediately switched from villain to victim. Apart from Will there was her supposed dad Patrick, her real dad Jez, her half-sister/cousin Dilly and her daughter Nico all of whom were villainous. Basically, it's in her family! Still... At least her brother Dodger is a police officer so it's not all bad.

To me Sienna is a cunning character who can easily manipulate people, lying as and when she needs to. Regardless of what she does, she still succeeds in winning people over with her charm. I love her!


5: Stay Puft Marshmallow Man - Various Ghostbusters films.

The Ghostbusters (2016) film is one of my favourite films and seeing the sinister Stay Puft Marshmallow Man again gave me some chills and thrills. He comes across as lovely and nice but that façade drops to reveal his menacing behaviour soon enough! This is a deceptive villain who cause the four ghostbusting women some trouble alright! How many villains can grow as big as he can?


6: Aston Villa (AKA The Villains) Football Team.

Now I am not a big football fan however, when I moved to Birmingham and studied there, I grew a fondness for Aston Villa as a football somehow. Two current football players that I are possibly favourites for me are Tyrone Mings and Matty Cash. Both of them in my opinion just have something about them. Aston Villa has a lot of great players, I'm not suggesting these are the only two I like these two a lot. Tyrone Mings seem to offer a lot and gives promise to me. Meanwhile Matty Cash, not too long ago did a shoot for an underwear brand and I have to say that he knows how to pose well for pictures...


7: The Joker - Various Batman franchises.

To me The Joker is the epitome of villainy. Greedy, calculated and obnoxious. He dresses powerful and acts it too, combining an cruel personality with a sharp intelligence. He knows exactly what he is doing every single time and leaves a lasting impression on me whoever is portraying him. When he cropped up in some Scooby-Doo episodes, that was fun to watch too. I'll also point out here that wearing purple and green together is an excellent choice! Purple is dark and mysterious while green is toxic. Maybe this is why I like wearing these two colours together...


That is my villainous list. Have you got any favourite villains I wonder?


Until next time,


Thomas (they/them).

Bookshop visit 11: Lions Charity Bookshop, Hailsham, East Sussex.

Hi! Sorry for the delay in the blog post, the internet keeps playing up for me so I could not post yesterday when I planned to. For my blog post I am off on another bookshop visit. This time I found myself in the East Sussex of Hailsham where down Market Street in Hailsham. It is near North Street and High Street which is good for people visiting by bus or catching a train and then a bus to Hailsham as it has no train station itself. When you enter the bookshop it can come across as quite small. Despite this, I see the bookshop as small and mighty. You never know what you are going to get and that is what I like in a bookshop. Normally, it is fiction that I go for though they have some other stuff as well. I will say that if you want something specific then you cannot guarantee to get, though that often goes with a lot of second-hand bookshops. I must point as well that paperback books are priced at £1.20 which to me is a steal! Can you imagine wanting to get some Margaret Atwood books...

Bookshop visit 3: Oxfam Bookshop, Coventry, West Midlands.

Welcome back to my blog everyone. It is that time of the month where I give you the ins and outs to another bookshop that I have recently been to. This time, it is the Oxfam Bookshop in Coventry city centre. When I was on my travels, I found myself in Coventry. Now having lived and studied in the West Midlands, I knew about this bookshop. Funnily enough this was not my first visit here. Just as I remembered, they have a nice range of books and music despite being on the slightly smaller side. I noticed they still had a little collection of Doctor Who stuff! I am a big Doctor Who fan. Anyway, as I went nosing around, there was one book that caught my eye. It was this book: Sculpted: Poetry of the North West  (2013) edited by Lindsey Holland and Angela Topping. There is an introduction by David Morley who I have read before as a poet, teacher and editor. The important thing here though is that I picked up a poetry book and April (in case you were unaware) is National Poetry Month! I ...

Fictional book review: Trumpet (1998) by Jackie Kay.

 Hello again, sorry for being quiet here but I have not been doing good lately and have had to shut myself away. But fear not, I am back! I thought I would take you through some of my favourite books and whatnot regarding the LGBTQIA+ society. That includes LGBTQIA+ authors, themes such as lesbianism or queerness. I might also hunt down some LGBTQIA+ bookshops! To kickstart this run of the LGBTQIA+ theme, I have delved deep into my bookshelves to fetch out a novel of pure grief, greed and truth. For the first review of mine, I have picked Jackie Kay's melodic novel Trumpet . The reason I picked this novel is because this is different to most in the fact that Joss Moody, who the whole novel is about, is dead. Kay has written the book as if Joss is the protagonist even though he is dead. But that's just it... He is  dead and we don't  hear from/see his ghost. From Joss's wife, to his doctor, to even the vile reporter Sophie Stones, they all speak about him, relive what ha...
