Transparent Living Ch 42&43: A deeper look

I was recently studying the three unforgivable curses from Harry Potter carefully. The unholy trinity: Imperio ‘I control’, Crucio ‘I torture’, and Avadra Kedrava ‘I kill’.

Now, I’m not very well-versed in Harry Potter nor I pretend to be. What my takeaway here is the thinking of the three things that are morally dark (not just in Harry Potter, but in reality as well).

Let’s just focus on the ‘I control’ part. There is something dark about controlling another person’s volition. Manipulation is the commonplace occurrence, Blackmail is the next step up, and Possession is the unorthodox, yet horrific topic that is visited again and again. All have to do with the same thing. All of them are negative connotative words.

It has another form in another fandom: Bloodbending from the Avatar: The Last Airbender fandom. It's no wonder that the technique was rarely used because of it's dark nature.

Even so, this is the thought that came up when creating the idea of volition spells. Even though a minor detail, packs a punch when you really think about it.

Anyways, I'm rambling...
