Chapter 46 - Still don't understand Isis

I still don't understand Isis. She says "You gave your body to Osiris so why can't I?" Well it's a big freaking difference between being threatened to have your son killed if you don't let him do what he wants, which classifies as RAPE, and to willingly seek him out, resurrect him and have sex with him order to have a son and achieve your goal of revenge! The way she's wording it sounds like she's shaming him. VICTIM BLAMING! ヽ(`Д´)ノ

She's talking about taking her revenge on Seth, "You and me will both never get what we want. And the more we'll crave the more we'll lose. How does it feel to have ended our era of rule with your own two hand?" Is she's seriously saying all this, about cursing him not not to have a family, while smugly smiling? And blaming him for ending their era of rule when she's the one doing it? ヽ(`Д´)ノ

"If you truly thought of me as your companion you wouldn't have given my husband your body. Instead you would've come straight to me and asked for help." Well he was chained up in thorny vines and his son's life was threatened. When exactly was he supposed to ask for your help?? And if she meant before he went to Osiris, it's not like knew he was going to be raped. VICTIM BLAMING! ヽ(`Д´)ノ

Ans she's angry she didn't tell her anything. Well sometimes rape victims find it very hard to talk about! How SHE on the other hand didn't come forward and help him even though she knew is UNFATHOMABLE! VICTIM BLAMING! ヽ(`Д´)ノ

Seriously, while I can sympathise with what she has been going through, this whole chapter was basically her blaming Seth for being raped. ヽ(`Д´)ノ

    And I know she's still a victim but the fact that she said all of that to seth, who was a victim of HER OWN HUSBAND says a lot about how she biased towards Osiris. Even after knowing he's a horrible person.I mean I know she'll have her redemption arc but right now she's just so......(╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸

    I think Isis cursed him not have that one family, she didn't curse him to never have any other family. She chose to spare Anubis and curse all the four adults involved in the mess, in his stead. I mean, if she couldn't contain her rage and had to vent on anybody, I'm glad she shifted her focus to the adults and left Anubis alone. She wasn't exactly rational at the moment of the curse, anyway.

    And Seth was unfairly horrid to her after Osiris' death, so now she's being unfairly horrid to him, in return... Isn't it beautiful how these two never lie to each other? XD XD XDSince Seth has spent centuries taking out his anger on innocents, beating up his own son and making thousands of humans fear and hate him, a few more or less super nasty insults sent his way shouldn't hurt him. Being a god doesn't excuse him because this story follows the Asian concept of gods, where have great powers but also great responsibilities as well.

    On another note, I love them both and love their interactions. I often feel like they're practically like twins in their identical, sometimes irrational reactions. It's like they're only ones out of the four who really seem any similar enough to actually seem like siblings... That's why, I'm positive they'll end up reconciling in the end.
