🎭 ✨ What if your favorite villains… weren’t just evil?

What if they were mirrors? 🔍

This week with the Omniversal Seeker, we’re diving into the stories behind some of pop culture’s most unforgettable villains — not to defend them… but to understand what they reflect back at us. 👀

Because sometimes, the characters we fear the most… are the ones who speak to something broken inside us.

Not because we’re bad.

But because we’ve hurt too. 💔

In this episode:

🔥 Azula (Avatar: The Last Airbender) — control, fear, and the cost of perfection

🧛‍♂️ Klaus Mikaelson (The Originals) — abandonment, power, and the fear of being unlovable

💉 Silco (Arcane) — revolution, loyalty, and the high price of a dream

🦍 Killmonger (Black Panther) — justice, rage, and the ache of being forgotten

☁️ Pain/Nagato (Naruto) — loss, ideology, and what peace really costs

🎙️ But before we get into them — what is “shadow work” anyway?

And what does it have to do with why we feel so seen by fictional villains? 🤔

This episode isn’t about excusing the damage they caused.

It’s about exploring the emotions underneath — and the questions we rarely ask:

💭 Why do I resonate with this character?

💭 What am I still angry about?

💭 Where am I trying to stay strong… by shutting others out?

Whether you’ve always had a soft spot for the misunderstood antagonist 💀 or you’ve just started noticing how much their stories hit home 💢 — this episode is your invitation to go deeper.

Because villains don’t just challenge the hero.

They challenge us too. 🪞
