#life as a BadgerSnake

[reds-burrow]

you said you manipulated ppl into being happy. how? unless it's too personal

Nah, I'm good with answering as long as certain Lions in my life don't see this. Just keep this between you, me, and the internet, okay?

I suppose a lot of this answer is dependent on your definition of manipulation. Trolling, for example, is something I've done a number of times with my friends, and it boils down to lying and manipulating them into reacting one way before revealing the truth. The tension and release gets some grumbles at the reveal but also usually a lot of laughter.

Games are another place where my Snake comes out in full force. Mind you, I'd never cheat in a PvP game (PvE, maybe), but card or lying games are playtime for my manipulation skills. It's especially fun when you can fool people into thinking you're an awful liar early in the game and swing things around to take the prize in the end. It's all in good fun, and I usually earn smiles in the end.

Then, you have the times I babysat one of the kids in my neighborhood. After dinner, he was allowed to play video games, so I usually sat and watched him run around, trying to figure out puzzles so he could progress the story. If he started getting really frustrated, I'd figure out the puzzle myself, or I'd secretly look up the answers online. Then, I'd drop subtle hints or ask leading questions until he figured it out.

I also do something similar with one of my friends. We watch the same anime, and it has an element of mystery to it that she likes to theorize about. What she doesn't know, is that I've read ahead in the manga, so when I see her getting caught by red herrings, I'll gently nudge her back on track. She is solving things with her own ability, all I do is drop a leading question here and there to get her thinking in the right direction. I'm not sure she'd see it that way if she knew, but she's so happy when her theories prove to be right that I doubt I'll stop doing it anytime soon.

I'm sure I have more stories that I'm forgetting... I'll update later if I think of a good one.
