Yeah, and also, her latest scene was the first time she moved her butt to effing do something for her poor son in like... centuries. Mother of the millennium award, for that one.
She DOES feel the same way though...friendly reminder her true self is stuck in a mirror.
She clearly said she loved Seth if I remember well.
It'd be nice if you were right, but we don't think we've been told even which of them is supposed to be Anubis' biological mother, yet. The "real" one only said she "saw another self loving Seth" so we'll still have to wait for her to show up again and say more to know how she really feels, and whether or not she's biologically related to Anubis.
Yeah, I thought that, but then it dawned on me that if she's a split part from the "real" one in the mirror (and moreover, if she was only a "part" but happened not to be even aware of it), then it isn't impossible she could "fool" Maat's scale even if she wasn't Anubis' birth mother, and manage to testify like she was Anubis' biological mom , because, "technically", she'd still be a "part" of his mom... (and I'm kinda giving myself a headache now). The more I think about it, the less sure I am of anything (except for the fact that I HATE "fake" Nefty, lmao!)
I mean, Osiris already showed us that Maat's scale CAN be fooled
Anyway, I still think it's probable that the fake one is his real mom, but the truth is we have so little to go on that I'm forced to say the other option is not completelty and absolutely impossible... This is why, when it comes to fake and real Neftys, I say we just wait, because I can only admit that no matter how hard we try to guess stuff, we still end up empty handed (and maybe that's another reason why I don't like this character, lol)
Mhm I see well I hope she does love him because Seth would be extremely happy like I don't usually root for the straight but I really just want Seth's happiness
But wait, what about the flashbacks where Seth and Nephtys are happy and that's why she wants to give a child to Seth?
The mirror thing happened after that, so it was the real her. Doesn't that mean she loves him? or why would she go lengths to try give him a baby and being sad about that and all that?
It seems to me like they really loved each other and then the doubt thing, the mirror and all that happened
What flashbacks do you mean? You remember the chapter? (or, are you talking about the extras?) And how do you know when the mirror thing happened (meaning, when was that "real" one trapped in the mirror)? As far as I know so far, no one knows with 100% certainty when it happened... But the entire thing is confusing anf mysterious, so, can you be a bit more specific about what parts/chapters in particular made you think this?
The flashback from the Osiris rape arc explaining what happened to Seth. Nepthys and Seth were together and happy but Destruction god decided to mess things up
I am just assuming that the mirror thing happened after tbh because it' seems it was the mirror's fault thatt Horus raped Seth, and the destruction god seemed to be behind that mirror thing (the shining eye and the voice saying seth shouldnt have cut her arm) so the mirror god knows what that mirror does
But it's that same destruction god that whispered jealousy to Seth, that god knew about the whole wanting the baby thing. And I feel like, destruction god being the only possible responsible for any drama around the mirror so far, it doesnt make sense for her to make Nephtys fall for Seth, since it wouldn't cause any chaos
however it's way more chaotic to have a Nephtys that isn't in control of herself and cant really appease Seth after the mess created by destruction god (jealousy whispering etc)
That's why I think it happened after, but it could've very well happened before, I agree there are still so many mysteries so we can't know for sure.
I'm low key wishful thinking at this point because I truly don't wanna see Seth suffer any more I guess
You're basically saying he should cut ties with the ones he loves the most. Osiris got to rape him because he was trying to protect Anubis, he would've done anything for Anubis. He even put himself in danger to save a sword he has gifted to Anubis
He loves his son more than anything, saying he should part from him to be truly ok, doesn't make sense
It's all Osiris' fault
Free from what
But why should he be free from weaknesses...
You mean you think it's possible Sekhmet was the one who imprisoned the Neftys in the mirror, because she needed to get rid of the real Neftys in order to replace her with a Neftys that would cheat on Seth? Well, it could be, but like you said that still doesn't mean the real Neftys that was imprisoned was inlove with Seth, or that she even got to marry him before being imprisoned... I mean, if she was supposed to be Seth's real wife, who knew she'd been replaced by a fake who was taking advantage of her beloved husband, I'd think she would have been a lot more desperate in her plea to Horus that she tell Seth about her existence. I mean, she talked about Seth with some distance, like he was someone she respected and cared about, but certainly not her husband. I would've expected an "usurped wife" to have been A LOT less distant and respectful when talking about him, and for her plea to Horus that he tell Seth about her to have come A LOT earlier and A LOT more desperate... The way she speaks, though, makes me at most think of someone who was robbed of her chance with him... That's why I think her imprisonment must have happened before their marriage, and maybe even before they even got together... when the real Neftys may at most have had some feelings for Seth but had not gotten together with him, "yet"...
As for the flashbacks, you're talking about the shadow silhouette flashback in chapter 35, when Sekhmet came to whisper things in Seth's ear, what she did was tell him that Anubis was not really his son. It doesn't gives us any suggestions beyond that. Later on, when Horus accuses Sekhmet of being the one who imprisoned the real Neftys, she plays with him letting him think that's the case, and then denies it. I believe that, at most, Sekhmet knows about the real Neftys' being imprisoned, but that could also be because she knows all of Osiris' scemes and I'm certain she's Ra's lackey in all of this, which means it was either Osiris who imrpisoned the real Neftys, or it was Ra... (and even if it turned out that it was Ra, I have guesses about some very legit reasons she would have been forced to do that). Sekhmet's role as the one who "whispered the truth about Anubis' real father, inducing jealousy in Seth's heart" was confirmed in the other non-silhouette flashback in chapter 35, when we see Neftys being grabbed by the arms by an angry Seth, who was asking her if that was really true, with Seth immediately going off to confront Osiris right after that, leaving Neftys alone with a smug Sekhmet. Moreover, when Seth goes confront Osiris about being Anubis' real father, Osiris tells him not to believe Sekhmet... everything points to Sekhmet only telling the truth about who was Anubis' real father, and only that.
Yes, he loves his son, but he needs to let go of the fear that Anubis will forsake him if he knows the truth, and let Anubis decide. In other words, he needs to become able to let Anubis know the truth... and he needs to trust Anubis to stay true to the way he, Seth himself, raised him, to be a caring person... so that the loving upbringing he gave him (at least, before all this started) will make Anubis choose to keep caring about him as the one who loved him like a father for all of his life. Otherwise, the way he's been psychotically clinging to a lie will only end up extending his misery (and I say psychotically, because it didn't stop him from physically and mentally hurting Anubis).
It's because he thinks he will be forsaken by Anubis and Neftys if the truth is known, and that fear is weakening him and making him lash out stupidly, making him an easier target for Osiris, who's always waiting for the chance to kidnap him and take him to Duat. Seth needs to let go of the fear that Anubis will forsake him if he knows the truth, and let Anubis decide. As for Neftys, the one Seth is clinging to is apparently not even the real one, so he needs to get rid of that one altogether, anyway (as for what relationship he'll have with the real one, we shall see).
Wow damn it DOES make a lot of sense, thank you for all of that I tend to forget the details
Well now I feel worse, poor Seth he loves them so much my guy is suffering I cant ╥﹏╥
Your solution is already much better than cutting them off, I agree he has to let go of his fears for Anubis and face the real Neftys too
Fck I want to hug him so bad
Jay- Jay- my dude- you are a legend- and I hope we can be good friends! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Sure! (づ￣ ³￣)づ
A part of me really wanted Seth and Nephthys to be together.... you can tell that he truly loved her as well as Anubis. It just brakes my heart for him to think that if he wins would he also win her administration and love....
