Questions for Jim 2012 style 2

--- Quote from: xakko on September 06, 2012, 01:44:34 AM ---Something that's been striking me during my current "listen through" at work - Is Jim putting Harry and Molly on opposite sides of minor (but often heated) issues?
1. Star Trek (Molly) vs Star Wars (Harry) - Ghost Story
2. McDonalds (Molly) vs Burger King (Harry) - Small Favor Molly and Thomas vote, Harry overrides.
3. DC Comics (Superman shirt - Molly) ("Last Call") vs. Marvel Comics (Harry) (almost always)
4. Pepsi (Molly) ("Last Call") vs Coke (Harry) (always) - Harry calls her a heathen.
5. Careful reading of a paperback to not crease the spine (Molly) vs. dog-eared, well loved books (Harry) (Turn Coat) Harry calls her a wuss.
not to mention the younger/older, blonde/brunette, delicate magic/brute force magic, always changing vs. stuck in a routine...

...male/female, crappy home life/loving family....possibly also "no faith in God"/"religious background"
What's more: Harry is a purist wrt the Star Wars/Star Trek debate, Molly is the opposite end of that spectrum: she argues that she can like them both. No word yet on whether this contrast (purist-ism vs. acceptance) carries over to other areas.

Molly could have been rebelling against Harry in minor ways on some of it and just haves different likes in other ways.

My theory for how harry's hellfire never ran out is this: soulfire runs off his soul and is replenished by Harry having feel good moments with other people according to Bob. What if hellfire also runs off of the soul but is replenished by Harry having angry moments? Like if it regenerates every time he uses magic in anger or something

Interesting... Kinda ties into what I've said earlier:
--- Quote from: KevinSig on August 06, 2012, 04:15:14 PM ---Was there a price for Hellfire? Soulfire uses Harry's own soul as tinder. You've said that Hellfire is sort of an opposite side of the coin. So, did Hellfire also burn up Harry's soul?
On a guess, Soulfire trends towards bad bits & Hellfire targets the good bits of a soul?

As for Lash outright giving Harry Hellfire, I'm not really certain of this, now that I think on it. Sure, I can see Lashiel's shadow giving Harry access to the power, but she's a limited entity. She'd either have to be a conduit directly hooked up to hell, or the power should gradually have gotten weaker over the course of the books.
It didn't & hence the issue with the idea that it comes from Lash.
Plus, we know that Soulfire is charged by the soul, and so it's reasonable to assume that Hellfire works the same way, since there's WOJ it's basically the opposite of Soulfire.

I wasn't saying Lash was providing the Hellfire on her own, I would say it was Lasciel footing the bill with the channel between her and Lash providing Harry access.
