Jareth ◊ Fourth Request ◊ Video

[whatssaidissaid]

[Jareth is...peacocking. Can owls peacock? Whatever, Jareth is strutting around pleased as punch, smiling into the camera, looking charming and nothing but proud over his fancy, almost glittery black wings. Though a curious thing is that his primary feathers are almost white.]I do hope everyone is making sense of their little gifts. Quite luxurious

Actually there are a fuckton of times when honesty is not the best policy.

[whatssaidissaid]

Yes, I have heard this sentiment before--but where I hail from, it is very much not the case.

Could you give me, perhaps, an example of when honesty would not be?

[featheryasshole]

You ever hear that saying about the truth hurting? Sometimes it's better to just keep things to yourself because they would just make things more complicated if you brought them out in the open.

And I could, sure, but I don't really want to. All the examples I can come up with are personal and none of your fucking business.

[whatssaidissaid]

Yes, I do agree.

In my kinds' culture, we believe you are not lying until you speak a lie aloud. It is the words you say that damn you, not the words you hold to your chest and keep.

So volatile, dear David. You do prefer I call you David, correct?

[featheryasshole]

I dunno about that. It might not be lying as such, but at least in some cases omission is pretty much the same thing.

I don't prefer if you call me David. Especially not dear David, what the fuck.

[whatssaidissaid]

Well--then I implore you to inform me what you would like to be called...otherwise my pet names will be forced upon you for no other reason than necessity.

[featheryasshole]

My name's Dave. Single syllable, four letters. Think you can remember it?

[whatssaidissaid]

Ah, well then. My most sincere apologies, Dave. I do so enjoy the full version of your name.

May I pose a scenario to you, then?

[featheryasshole]

Yeah, I guess.

[whatssaidissaid]

If a person was getting on perfectly well, enjoying their life and all...but you discovered a secret regarding them--would you tell them?

The details surrounding this scenario are that this secret will only serve to hurt this person, and will do nothing to help them. It will only wound, with no foreseeable healing in sight. However, it is something you feel they should, absolutely, be aware of.

How would you proceed?

[featheryasshole]

If it wouldn't help them in any way? No, I wouldn't tell them. There'd be no point.

[whatssaidissaid]

And if it would help them somehow...but it would be incredibly painful--and if you, personally, never told them...they would never know?

I am in a bit of a moral conundrum, as it were.

[featheryasshole]

That's a tough one.

I dunno, depends on the person.

[whatssaidissaid]

I wonder if you would be more or less likely to tell them if you hated them.

Tell them and watch them actively suffer, or keep your silence and revel in your pity.

For example: What if it was the Sovereign Slayer?

Locked

[featheryasshole]

If it was him? I'm kind of supposed to be avoiding the asshole right now. But yeah, if I knew something that I could use against him, I absolutely would.

Why, do you know something?

Locked

[whatssaidissaid]

Perhaps.

It is hardly a secret that I harbor no love for him.

I am more concerned with those that have misguided fallen into believing his elaborate ruse of redemption.
