I mean, brain damage is like my #1 fear so I'm biased

Same here. Actually, the casual use of memory charms in HP horrified me in and of itself. How the fuck could you trust anything in that world when people can mess with your head on a regular basis, easy as pie?

[intrigueing]

I'm not that viscerally squicked by selective memory loss, but becoming institutionalized or non-functional, especially through injury, scares the shit out of me. So the whole St. Mungo's chapter was just really disturbing to me.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. Memory loss is a bit more visceral for me because I have actually lost significant chunks of time (close to a year) and then had to deal with things people said had happened in that time that I couldn't remember. It creates an alarming sense of vulnerability very quickly.

On top of which, being institutionalised is also a fear, so I just couldn't deal with any of that section.

[intrigueing]

Oh wow, I'm really sorry to hear that. Did you ever recover any memories from that chunk, if you don't mind my asking?

[(Anonymous)]

Not really, no. The counsellor I was seeing said that might be because it's not that I subsequently forgot what was happening, but that I was so far spaced out at the time that I never actually recorded memories in the first place. I was in such a severe state of depression that I basically stopped marking time or noticing what was going on around me.

I've mostly healed over. My relationships with a few people suffered for the things I couldn't remember happening, but basically after a certain point you just move on and make new memories. I just still have a lingering fear that I'll slip into that state again, so the idea of magically memory loss, having that state imposed on me by someone else, is pretty viscerally frightening for me.

[intrigueing]

Oh I understand. I was thinking of more along the lines of a brain injury. Yeah, the idea of just being perfectly but suddenly not having memories with no indicator for how you lost them is a really creepy one if you delve into the experience from the person's POV.

[(Anonymous)]

Brain injury, catatonic state, memory charm ... they're all pretty terrifying, really. Note to the universe: please stay away from my head, please and thanks. :)

[lunabee34]

OMG, yes! I completely agree.

I read a fascinating fic once that focused on the ramifications of just memory charming Muggles willy nilly and how dangerous it was and unethical.

Ugggggggh.

[(Anonymous)]

Really? Do you remember which fic it was? I'm not sure I'd be able to read it, all things considered, but it definitely sounds like a fic worth recommending.

Here's my rec:

Wow. This is one of those fantastic stories that examines a part of canon we take for granted--of course, Muggles are Obliviated when they come in contact with the wizarding world, both for their protection and the safety of magic users. What if that isn't true, though? What if in addition to being grossly unethical, Obliviation is also highly dangerous? Can't recommend this one highly enough.

[nyxelestia]

Not the anon above, but thanks for the link! I've started reading it, and while I have to put off the rest for later, I love it already. :)

[lunabee34]

Sweet! glad you're enjoying.
