About a meme

[yamaxanadu]

I understand that sometimes doing things that are questionable are amusing, and that as long as everyone is having fun and enjoying themselves a meme is not a place one needs to be serious. But I must object to the direction you keep leading me towards when engaging in such ridiculousness.

I'm not sure what is worse, that you are willing to stretch my appropriate responses for your amusement, or the fact you seem temporarily inspired by this uncharacteristic episode to wish to develop an "AU" where this behavior would be more appropriate.

Stop that right now! That is a road too steep for you to walk, a road that will only lead to a black path ahead. There is no situation that will excuse turning me into some sort of domineering dominatrix, so just forget the idea all together and hold back on these horrible situations. Especially when the other one involved is tempted to bring mention of these things into my proper life!

I long for the days where my own was also reluctant about such things, but sometimes there are people who prove a bad example and encourage such behavior. However, I suppose what I am most concerned about is the idea of a version of myself who would be prone to extreme use of force. It is not impossible, or even unlikely for a Yama to act in such a way. But it is quite unlike myself and a strange thing to even fathom.

Given her stated reasons for such avoidance in my particular case, I doubt that her reluctance to involve me will subside.

The idea that such behavior would be common to begin with is unsettling.

Which is understandable.

Perhaps not in that... context. But it is not unreasonable for a Yama with the right authority to exact that authority in anyway they see fit. I prefer a gentle approach to things, but there are others who feel that is not a viable method. There was a time where it was not uncommon to take the souls of sleeping mortals before their time and test them.

Were laws against such interference with the living passed, then?

There are rules against enacting death, even those who have gone past their expectancy. However reapers are permitted to take souls of those who are long over due. But at that point the body is already considered dead. Meaning, I can not take the life of someone who has not reached the end of their life span. But if I were so inclined I could take their soul as long as I sent it back.

On the other hand, the Ten Kings are capable of doing whatever they wish as they are the guiding counsel. Since they are the original ones in charge their methods can be old fashioned. But they mostly do administration work now as everything has been subdivided.
