Benevolent or Malevolent?

Benevolent or Malevolent?

Have your experiences with your guardian been generally benevolent, or do they appear to be malevolent?

I know most of us already talked about this in the various threads, but as new people show up maybe we could gain some more information. It would be interesting to see just how many there are of each type, and to think about why they might seem this way.

For mine, generally malevolent with occasional breaks of benevolence. My theory is that it sees me as a lower form of edible (though entertaining) life.

Do you think he feeds from you, or that he could be chooses not to?

When it chooses to feed, it consumes the dream it's in. Since "noticing" me though, it tends to limit it's feedings.

Also, I'd refer to it as it/she, since it is usually formless, and the few times it's taken shape it's been female.

Why do you think it takes female shape? Does such a form have a different effect on you that it might be aware of?

I think it's to appear less threatening, as best I can tell. It seems to enjoy alternating between acting "innocent" and horrifying.

Mine is Malevolent, or at least that how I interpret it. It's possible that he thinks he's being normal, but I highly doubt it.

Sometimes it's difficult to tell what they think. One is non-threatening while the other just yells at me.

Is the yelling anything in particular?

Something in Phyrgian. I assume it's angry.

Well mine (Anubis and Amon) are absolutely benevolent. They try to help as much as possible and they are very friendly in general. They are actually the Gods worshiped by ancient Egyptians. And they aren't just my Guardians, they (along with other Gods) choose to protect someone for a specific reason. For example, people who need help with art and art-related things (artists, or just people who want to get better at art) can get a Guardian that specializes, or is good at art. Amon loves art, for example. Especially paintings/pictures, but likes (mostly classical, but other kinds too) music too.

My point being, I'm not the only person with an ancient God(s) (which is actually a VERY highly evolved spirit) as a Guardian(s).

Benevolent all the way. He's scary as hell, but is so kind and calming. took a while to get used to I gotta say.

He doesn't seem to be either. It seems he lies in a grey area, but he appreciates what one might call "justice".

Mine are all benevolent towards me, but not necessarily to other people around me. I have one who may or may not be something out of my subconscious or Shadow Self, who shows me flashes of stabbing or beheading or whatever other torture implement she wants to use on someone I'm talking to (it's very distracting btw).. though this usually only happens when I'm bored, sick of or annoyed with the person I'm talking to. It's all very graphic.. but she's never been hostile towards me. The images used to scare the bejesus out of me when I was a kid but her intention wasn't ever to frighten me.

But the others are definitely benevolent.

I remember trying to send something your way once and Raven was like "UM NO"

Re: Benevolent or Malevolent?

Akghala 14 Feb 2010 21:51

Send something?

Re: Benevolent or Malevolent?

Nanara 14 Feb 2010 21:53

*Chuckles* He is definitely protective. :3

I believe that at the time, she was feeling down or something had happened. That, or I was just experimenting with energy working on my own. I thought I would try sending some energy her way like she does for me sometimes, but I was essentially stopped at the gate.

Re: Benevolent or Malevolent?

Energy sending? I think this might need to evolve into another thread of it's own.

It could, but is it really related?

I'm open to questions, if you're curious. I have my contact info up in the general forum in a contact info thread.

Re: Benevolent or Malevolent?

If it is related to guardians in general, then it probably should be included. However if this is an external phenomena, then we should probably omit it for now.

Re: Benevolent or Malevolent?

Not really all that related for me, at least not all the time. It CAN be, but I'm not sure it belongs here from me at this point.

Re: Benevolent or Malevolent?

Alright. We'll leave it out for now.
