Out of curiosity, is Glamor the right word here? A glamor spell as I understand it is usually a disguise, maybe something that makes people not know it is you disguised if you don’t have a mask on, something to make them ignore it or not notice.
Luna on the other hand is not disguised; she is actually a girl. So what is done to Luna’s dad is more of a Charm spell, bit of brainwashing. If Luna has any sort of Glamor spell on her, it would be for people not to notice her elven ears, which the lady who cut her hair didn’t notice.
Glamour is natural to the fae and can be considered both their magic and the illusion that surrounds them. However, traditionally glamour makes them invisible and unseen although in some stories it has been used to disquised themselves to appear as something else. Young children and the totally pure of heart can sometimes see right through glamour. Thats why kids will say they see pixies and imaginary creatures while adults can’t. Heh, although supposedly being mad and crazy or really really really drunk might allow you to pierce the veil of glamour too but then who is going to believe a drunk or crazy person.
yes. glamor is the right term. because, despite what everyone’s been thinking, it is NOT a brainwashing spell, added memories, or anything completely invasive.
more or less, all that was done is a push to make him the most likely to accept that Luke, was Luna. and without sufficient evidence otherwise to force him to think otherwise he would not think that Luna had ever been anything but Luna.
it also pushes people to rationalize or ignore what doesn’t fit to. like blue hair is obviously dyed, and pointy ears look exotic, but wouldn’t register as not possible. and talking anthropomorphic rabbits in leprechaun suits to be ignored flat out.
Selena likely did some things to try and enhance it with Luna’s dad though, given Mr. Faust would be the hardest to fool. but she isn’t some sort of thought goblin, and isn’t capable of true memory changes. and at best may have planted the name Luna, and a few details.
Personal I want Luna’s dad to remember. Maybe if he did he could “help” Luna with being a girl or help her to except it. (Probably not)
Or not treat her so much like a daughter that is so helpless and easily prayed a pond. In other words, he will not need to be as protected of his “little girl” He could just say to Luna, “You made your bed now you have to lay in it.” Something he would say to a son, but not his little girl.
I also wonder (and it is just a, what if, thought) what if Selena was Luna real mother, but her dad does not know it, other because Selena was in a disguise, or/and some of her father memories of her were hidden when she left. And that is why Luna has such a curious of magic and why Selena gave her magic to begin with. She wanted to help her child out and wanted a daughter too. And teach him a lesson all in the same time. That is what a good mother would do.
Also. A good way to make since of Luna is simply make her independent of Luke. What if Luke had a twin sister that died at birth? (This part would have to be true, so the memory spells would work best) Then you could just switch the roles round that Luke died inside of Luna. Add little things to support her personality, like she more of a tom boy, and used the memories her dad already have but tweak them a little that also support Luna as see ready is. Some girls are more like boys.
A note. Those were just my thought and ideas. I’m not trying to push my ideas into the story, but just share my ideas. As a writer, I don’t like it when people tell me how to write. But I do like hearing their ideas and thoughts, just as longs as they are not trying to tell me how to write.
Or I could have easily guessed what is going to happen. (Mostly liking not)
Doesn’t look like Selena was luke Real mother, if you consider how she picked luke up by the head and had her claws out before he said he just wanted to have magic. that is unless she didn’t know at the time. But anyway, Luna probably is Selena’s real daughter now in a sense considering what sara said. Luna could actually be half selena and half of who she used to be Luke, or something along that nature. Sorta like saying she is her own father.
If he remembers… Magic is going to get rid of him… I’m sure that’s will happen if he recalls. Leading the plot in a way we can’t forsee. And that’ll be cool! :3
Not that I’m saying this is how it’ll go, just what I think could happen for this comic.

Anyway, I still hope the dad will get paranoid and blame it on the Aliens, and maybe think the Aliens did something to Luna

You know, some of these trains of thought I would keep in the station, or at least camouflage really well.
Not to say they are not thought, but not broadcast. Cause I think of these things too, just not in relation in Spiderwebs.
may you live in interesting times…
Judging by the name of the page, I’m going to guess that he’ll remember…..but I’m not going to bother to guess what that’ll lead to.
Heh. That and the mouse over that says “He will.”
*Nods* I use the same thing in m comic – fey are known for it, as a rule…
