TM Talk About Mother.

[singindemonhq]

I might be okay with talking about her, or writing about her, as long as nobody suggests that I sing about her.

Humans do that all the time, even when they write the songs all by themselves. "Mammy", "My Yiddisher Momma", even "Throw Momma From the Train" - yeah, really. It wasn't one of mine, either. Some songwriter came up with that one all on his ownio, maybe 50 years ago!

Demons do that, too. The more intelligent they are the more likely they are to have a whole repertoire of "Mommy Songs". I've heard a biologist sing that the more evolved a creature is the longer it takes to develop. (I've also heard a psychologist sing that man needs his long and vulnerable childhood to develop his mighty brain. That's a common trade-off. Of course, most of the creatures that're built like that need their mighty brains to have any chance of getting over all the things that get done to them in their long and vulnerable childhoods - but that's entertainment. That's the sum total of a whole lot of creativity, maybe all of it. The drive to tell the things you don't have words for.

Anyway, the brighter they are the longer the childhood and the more songs about their "Mommies" they're likely to have.

Oh, you think they want to know about mine? I had a long childhood.

I guess I shouldn't have written that much, but I'm an honest demon, in my way.

Some things you just can't write about, even behind lj cuts, even in private or locked entries.

I guess that's true for humans, but Justice Demons have to be ... say! You mean that firewall's blocking you out of there?

Well yeah, that means it's working - I firewalled it against Slayers and Changlings and such - and the general run of black and white-hats, of course.
