Okay, I'm not gonna be going around making any zombies or anything since apparently that's ILLEGAL and I'll respect it, but I really fucking hate that everyone I asked about that just looked at me like I ate someone's baby or something like that.

Real talk.

I can understand why it's ethically sketchy and disrespectful if someone didn't SAY they wanted to be a zombie, but this isn't the first time I've found other people treat necromancy like the worst thing you could do, magic-wise.

Someone please help me understand what the big fucking deal is because I think I'm gonna scream.

Don't really want to get personal, but my whole existence has kind of been an affront to the natural order of things.

[accidentallich]

Ah. I can relate?

[bloodyroses]

Difference is you were actually a victim in all this; I'm just kinda here.

[accidentallich]

I don't know your situation, so I can't comment, I don't think...

[bloodyroses]

I was never NOT a vampire and the explanation why involves me having to talk about my parents having sex, so I'd like to keep it as brief as possible.

I know, I'm just as confused as you are.

[accidentallich]

I don't think you should be judged about something you have no choice in either...? No one decides the circumstances of their birth.

[bloodyroses]

Fair.

I'd personally argue that it's not really possible for anything occurring in nature to be unnatural, though? Magic is just as much part of nature as gravity is.

[accidentallich]

That might be true, but there's still a lot of things that you can do that you shouldn't.

[bloodyroses]

I don't think the god you worship exists in my world. Which isn't really surprising since different worlds have different gods all the time.

[accidentallich]

That's probably true, but even still, I think there are some things that are universal?

Nu, arsenic is a natural substance, but you still shouldn't feed somebody arsenic.

[bloodyroses]

It's complicated, and I'm kind of reminded of the thing you said earlier about your god really not liking it when people do the magic thing.

Magic was explicitly listed out as one of the gifts our gods in my world gave the mortals. There is literally a god of magic? They have limits on what they'll allow but they're uh, pretty freaking lax.
