Things changed as soon as we gained magical powers and became a target. There's no point telling our girlfriends AFTER they've been hurt or killed, they need to know before anything happens. Also all our girlfriends, current and future, deserve to known what they're getting into by dating us, it's about consent and respect
I agree 99.4% with that, yet it's not yet time to disclose informations that could put the girlfriends (I'd like to see someone try to harm Lily just for shit and giggles) in opposition to the crown, as far as I understood magic seems to be ilegal, so it would be safer if the less combat capable girlfriends would be unaware of any llegal magic in case someone from the crown (eowyn for example) tried to snoop around. MC should tell them, but only once he knows what to tell. so far he's stumbling in the dark.... But his new garb is a good starting point
So, you're ok with lying to people to give them a false sense of security? I'm not. That's the same as coddling people so you don't upset them. I, for one, will never do that. People need to know the truth, whether it hurts or pisses them off.
I can't remember if magic is outright illegal or not, but as I recall magic is largely thought of as being extinct by the public. If anyone is interrogating or investigating our girls it's already be too late. They're already linked to us by those who would act against us.
I really hope that the inquisitor we saw, the one working with Elowin, is investigating the MC and trying to go for Liliah out of all his girls, that would be hilarious to watch
Exactly. But, people are too caught up in the false idea of that you can keep people safe by lying and keeping secrets. Keeping secrets is the same as lying. That whole "What they don't know won't hurt them." mentality is fucking ridiculous.I really hope that the inquisitor we saw, the one working with Elowin, is investigating the MC and trying to go for Liliah out of all his girls, that would be hilarious to watch
I think that telling all of them would be wise, not knowing won't do them any good, nor is it any safer for them.
If they know they are a potential targets, they should be at least more guarded, aware if someone tries to get infos out of them or more aware that someone could following/spying on them.
Also this is kinda a question of trust, like Glasha, were keeping quite is clearly doing more harm than good...i mean, he told his buddy about vampires and magic (someone clearly less trustworthy and i don't think a gun will keep him safer) but not his gf he knows since they were kids, i understand why she would be pissed.
Telling means having a chance to prepare. Lying means being caught unawares. Seems very clear what the correct choice is.
You're preaching to the choir. People will never understand that, or if they do, they're just stuck in a certain mentality that I think is stupid. It's the same as cheating on your gf/bf. At some point they're going to find out and lying on top of cheating, sneaking around will come back to bite you in the ass. So, it's best to tell them and let the cards fall as they may. The difference here is not that they will break up with you, but, if you don't say anything and you aren't there to protect them, they could lose their life. Telling them IS protecting them. They'll know they have to be more cautious in the things that they do.
That would be Fan-fucking-tastic!!!!I really hope that the inquisitor we saw, the one working with Elowin, is investigating the MC and trying to go for Liliah out of all his girls, that would be hilarious to watch
The whole "not telling someone for their own protection" trope is so fucking dumb........
"I'm not telling you for your own protection"
Yep. I already have plans for that.
Plausible deniability only works within the confines of reasonable judgement and the normal law.
Well, if it was us doing the interrogation, sounds like a fun time for us, not so much for them.
I'm not going to run around torturing random people, but people anyone who hurt my girls sign their own death warrants
Neither am I. But, yeah. The people who hurt what's ours, it's fair game. I'll keep them alive for a long time, while I do very bad things to them. The pain I would inflict on them would make Hell look like paradise.
We're a necromancer, we can torture them to death and just keep going. Their soul isn't going anywhere until I allow it to
