# = witchy, on clergy functions (crosspost from the one list)

[azurelunatic]

One of the most frustrating clergy functions I've come across is the one where you have Advice to give to someone in a really fucked-up situation, where the Advice includes them making some change to themselves or their perceptions or behaviors... and they *ask* for the Advice... and then it's not taken.

Happens too much. I know I've pulled that on people.

And it still sucks to see people do that to themselves.


I've gotten into the habit of thanking people who actually take my good advice...

i know exactly what you mean. makes me crazy sometimes.
you want to say, "if you're just gonna ignore me anyway, how about if you don't bother me in the first place?"

And then sometimes I get the inexpressable joy of having advised someone on something, me predicting what would happen should they continue down their current path, them not taking the advice, and seeing them going exactly where we thought they shouldn't.

Maybe this is how witches got their reputation for cursing.
