A pencilician is someone who writes or draws using a pencil on paper, often contrasted with someone who does the aforementioned actions using a computer. Comes from Latin "penicillum" meaning "paintbrush" or "pencil", and "-icianus" meaning "originating from".
Joe is a great poet, but he's a pencilician so no one outside his close friends has ever heard his poetry.

An antivillain is the opposite of an antihero. It's someone who, in a story, is trying to do the right thing but ends up impeding the protagonists. It could be someone who believes the villain is a good person and so helps them, someone who believes in misguided ideals, or someone who mistakes the hero for a villain.
"Draco Malfoy wasn't really evil, he was an antivillain because he was only following what he was taught to do."
