The 13th Black Cat
MemberWhat's happening here is a form of gaslighting, actually. There are a lot of ways of doing it, but ultimately it comes down to manipulating them through things like that. It got its name from a 1944 film where a husband manipulated his wife into thinking she was going crazy, obviously named Gaslight. I never actually watched it, though, so I don't know the particulars and don't want to go a-googling to find them.

MemberNo, that's arson. Gaslighting is when you walk around the foggy streets of London to light the lamps at night. (This is a joke, for clarity's sake.)
Maria Kauffman
MemberYou ever just... Lit the Dawnstar Jarls Longhouse on fire with oil spiders? I have. That's a literal gaslight I guess?
