Ironic Inspiration
Sometimes, I am inspired by bad writers, and not just to mock them. Examples include the "evil bonds that condone abuse", only I actually portray them as evil, and having some underused characters in bigger roles.
Today, let's speak about ways PLH inspired me. All ironic, of course. Coincidences like the Malebranche/Dryads do not count.
1. It made me limit the character-bashing. I started with some of it, but tried my best to limit it later. Though Lionheart did inspire me even more.
2. In my stories there is now a propaganda piece where the evil government portrays Finn the way Darth Dumbledore is portrayed. As a mustache-twirling villain, ineffective in practice.
3. It made me buff vampires. I didn't make impressive ones until then, though this was partially because they were mostly... Aro and Bella. Yeah, not so threatening. However, I saw the vampires of PKH, who were actually weaker than humans (and despite the rants about Twilight, replacing the vampires with dryads changes nothing), and wondered if my vampires are also too weak. So, I introduced the Vampiric Infantry, who replace the arrogance with experience and training and are fairly competent.
4. Their leader, Armilla, deserves a separate mention. She is the exact type of villain Lionheart would not write ever. She is an attractive vampire woman, and does not get whitewashed in spite of her attractiveness. Despite that, she does show some standards, especially when it comes to private matters. She is also very effective, defeats the male lead in her first appearance and the female lead is the one who puts her down... and there are some more details that basically would be very out of place for a PLH villain. She is also a minion of a minion, btw.
5. Two of Kylo's Redemption Tasks in the Forgiveness Timeline have to do with PKH. They can be found in das_sporking.
Though other Sues get on my sights too. I.e. in the Stormwolf Timeline, Takara will be a major enemy in the Japanese arc. Abusive little shits don't get away easily. And I once used Nobunaga-Sensei as a torture device.
Maybe I will make one for Ian's abomination or Vegan Fartbook later. These two also ironically inspired me and are liquid shit.
