Just for the record, not one of our wards, Dany's playmates or other kids at home had any kind of "horrible mental scarring" because they saw Mereth and Leto out of disguise.
You are getting offended for the sake of getting offended.
Naw, I'm offended at the idea of using a three year old as part of a plot in such a way that is traumatic. Your dismissal of my stance as "he wants to feel self righteous" is... Erroneous. And wow. Highly efficient in inducing passion. I'd be impressed if it didn't involve me.
Like, have standards in your "using toddlers to achieve your aims and cause a psychotic break in their parents" plans, ya know
.
Our wards were inoculated against "unplseant imagery" via education and being warned beforehand. This is an scary thing to cause a toddler that to have memories of, and perhaps I may have overstated the fiendish element, (hmm, maybe active link to hell is a factor? (This bit is me having fun, not making an argument. I enjoy the metaphysics of ASWAH)), by making a toddler remember being grabbed by a "monster" of some description and her life threatened is fucked up imo. *Shrugs* I mean, I'm not judging you based on that, I'm for using toddlers in plots provided they don't come to harm from it, but traumatising a toddler for a plot, one based purely on opportunism (and that is what this moment is, opportunity, we never planed planned for this), is likely to lead to Viserys Guilt(TM) and I don't want to just let that
happen. Cuz it's not fun reading for me.
We all want to read a story, and this is where, I feel, our desires for where the tale goes, at least at this juncture, diverge.
All instances of the word "child" replaced with toddler, because I'm just in there kind of mood where I want to remind people, that the person some want to make remember being threatened by a monster is three.
Anyway, I spoke up against such. So w/e. I'll see how this goes.
That means that you can use the spell to refresh a memory. It's ambiguous if that can even be used to restore a modified one.
And again, you would need to carefully scan her mind for discrepancies. And the worst case? They restore her original memory of going into a room while chasing the cat and then falling asleep by a spell. Any further digging will run into the mindblank-brickwall.
We literally used that spell to undo the Modify Memory SLA of the devil that was maniuplating Joran. Or at least, that five minute instance that it could check.
Personally, I'd expect that "I just remembered about the attack a moment ago" would give reason to look deeper, but, w/e
Continues reading thread. Catches up. Yeah. I'm not going to engage here much anymore. Will further efforts to reduce sharing potential counterplan or points where bad luck can knife plans, and only add silly comments on rare occasion.
@Azel you are shit to debate with, because you do it in bad faith, your unapologetic hipocracy is fucking exhausting, and, oh god, the sheer number of blind swings you make at (at various times, differing) segments of the thread but frankly, it has be fascinating to observe someone who is (very frequently) toxic in the manner in which they use arguments they use to push their position, but who also puts sincere and incredible effort into achieving what they hope for (an evil Viserys (proper evil, with a small e, and everything!)
And yes, the way you do so works. The arguments you lambasted thread for not making about Lys... I had some. And I had no energy to try and push them forward, because the thought of interacting with you. Just drained me. It was for that reason that I laughed when I read the line about why Viserys did not use "farce" to describe the war against Lys. I could have told you that. I was going to, and then when I though about interacting with you, all motivation to type left me. Hence humour.
But that does tend to engender negative feelings when a person is "called out" or whatever better term fits, by you, on not doing something that you, by your chosen behaviours have strongly disincentivised
Tldr: my own issues + negative behaviours mean that I will taking a break again.
