A common characteristic of blade-wielding evildoers is their tendency to lick their weapons, whether clean or bloodied, as if their weapon was a cherry-flavored popsicle of non-diabetic death. Often [[Too Dumb to Live|the sharp edge]], no less.
Line 10 ⟶ 12:
Generally considered a giveaway that this character is a [[Psycho for Hire]], a [[Combat Sadomasochist]], or otherwise sufficiently off his rocker to do ''anything''. Especially creepy when paired with [[Evil Tastes Good]] flavored [[Hemo-Erotic|Hemo Eroticism]]. Conversely, can be major [[Fetish Fuel]].
Some character feel a deep attachment to their weapon, almost as if it's [[I Call It "Vera"|a person.]] There's nothing wrong with that.
The one doing the licking isn't necessarily evil or rather, more accurately, isn't always a story's antagonist. An [[Anti-Hero]] or [[Villain Protagonist]] can be seen doing this, especially if they're engaging their [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]. Usually to showcase the fact they've either gone off the deep end or are very close to it, and that it is scary. Often major [[Fetish Fuel]], especially if the licker is attractive.
