For anyone thinking Horus is a bad, obsessive guy.
Okay, he's got a childish crush on Seth and a lil' kid's awe that he needs to overcome (it's even mentioned he needs to disregard his wish to have Seth as a dad if he ever hopes to become a god), but he's not THAT bad... come on. Because:
1) He wouldn't have raped Seth if he hadn't been controlled by Sekhmet... (it was all a game between Sekhmet and Seth, with Horus as the poor pawn being used in the game between the other two!)
2) As for how Horus told Anubis only part of the truth, he told him what Anubis needed and *asked* to be told, which was how to solve his curses, and avoided telling him what Anubis needed to be told by *others* rather than by Horus himself (like, for example, by Seth, Osiris, or his own mother if possible... but it definitely wasn't *Horus'* place to tell him any of that! Horus had just found out about it *himself*, for effing sake...)
3) As for Horus choking Anubis that one time, you have to admit that Anubis was being too much, arriving at the worst and most completely wrong conclusions out every single thing Horus was trying to tell him (like, for example, when Horus told him how Seth was desperate trying to find him back in Kemis, and "punishing" those human boys for not being his beloved Anubis, Anubis misunderstood and thought his dad Seth killed the boys at Kemis because he wanted to kill Anubis himself... Talk about clueless!).
4) As for that one time when Horus kept Seth drunk back when he was little, he was just a clueless *human* kid, and he grew sick of his own behavior soon enough, realizing that manipulating Seth that way was not what he wanted... Even as a kid, and a human one at that, Horus quickly learned the one lesson his father never learned in all his centuries of existence.
5) Horus himself has done nothing to actually interfere with Seth and Neftys' marriage... He doesn't know if the Neftys in the mirror is the real one or not, and if she's telling the truth... and even if he tells Seth, he has no way to prove it because he doesn't know how to get inside the mirror another time, or if they will even manage to get out once they go back inside! Remember Horus is still human, he still depends on other gods' powers to assist him, yet he can't ask for their help with this because he doesn't know who's trustworthy, which of them is the one responsible for imprisoning Neftys, etc (how would he even avoid the risk of unwittingly going to ask for help from one of the very same people responsible, or from someone who'd secretly want that Neftys to stay inside the mirror?? He's heard the other gods say enough how they dislike Seth for destroying their temples! Why do you think Horus would have any reason to believe that those very same gods would help him do Seth a favor, if he asked them? )
