Sieh turning mortal; Naha's womb and leaving Sieh with the Arameri. (significant negative) (ref: KoG 58, 64-70)

Description )

Notes:
+Sob. My life.
+This is a very bad and disappointing memory, and interesting in that all of that comes from someone else's experience. Bad things happen to Naha, but they're bad things because they're emotional reactions centered on someone else's experience and caring for them.
+Naha's gonna be so unhappy. But at least knowing what's happening with Sieh will be something.
+This memory does show and, I think, to some degree reinforce Naha's yeilding/passive side. Not to say it will make her more passive in Aather, precisely, but reassuring I'm doing it right.

Coming to kill Oree. (trivial negative) (ref: BK 371-380)

Description )

Notes:
+HEY I REMEMBER OREE NOW
+Also, totally did intend to kill her. :')
+On a less humorous, and less Oree related note, it confirms that even after Naha is free, he's kind of a terrible person and not someone who Naha (in aather) is in a hurry to be. She has sort of mixed feelings about this.

Speaking with Yeine in her mother's room.(significant neutral) (ref: HTK: 114-121)

Description )

Notes:
+Okay, so that's not completely accurate, but it actually does give you a pretty good sense of the scene.
+This has a pretty good summary of the business with the Three. It's not really new to Naha, but it's synthesized into a very effective summary for Yeine's sake, which will be helpful in Aather.
+Also, it fleshes out Naha's relationship arc with Yeine more.
+Safe-ish for mortal consumption?

Showing Yeine around the cosmos. (significant positive) (ref: HTK 395)

Description )

Notes:
+NOT SAFE FOR MORTALS
+This is a really good time to get a positive memory, and particularly this positive memory. It will help Naha get things back together.
+Getting back together is still limited. Naha is still pretty damaged at this point.

The arena. (trivial negative)(ref: THK 258-270)

Description )

Notes:
+So this is a painful one, obviously. It's trivial negative mostly because it's not extraordinary for Naha at the time it happens. It will be pretty extraordinary for Naha in Aather, and the normalcy of it will not actually make it better.
+I am totally a ho and prioritized this so I could link it in heart game. I'm that cool, aw yeah.
+NOT SAFE FOR SHARING. On the scale of mildly mindbending to total insanity, it's not Naha's worst. And it does take place in the mortal realm. But still... not safe for mortal consumption.

Taking Yeine to Darr. (ref: HTK 187-205) significant neutral

Description )

Notes:
-This memory is pretty cool because it fits together with a couple of other memories Naha has already recovered. This one, in particular. But also this one, speaking of when she stabbed him.
-Yeine herself is still a mystery, and a sort of frustrating, delightful one.
-Flashing some of his old power (and his other forms) is sort of a bittersweet thing, in context of Aather. This is the first time in Naha's memories of presenting (if only briefly) as female in her later, more damaged Sky state. At the same time, it's a reflection of that older power... Still, I think this will put a crack in the way Naha has compartmentalized him and her in Aather. We'll have to see how that develops.

Finding Enefa; turning away from Itempas. (ref: KoG 195) significant positive

Description )

Notes:
-Gosh, a lot of Naha's positive memories are sex or sexual.
-Despite this being a GOOD memory, it is high on the madness scale. Gods realm, two of the Three doing massive scale Three things, etc etc. This is not healthy if you're not Tempa or Sieh.
-Okay, now being serious. This is actually a fairly enlightening memory. Naha won't be kinder or more sympathetic to Tempa because of it, but certain information will now make sense because it will have context.
-This is a really, really good memory. And very important. Naha has very few memories that could be called "peaceful" and gods pretty much all seem to have a strong streak of loneliness/need for companionship. Finding this kind of connection with Enefa is incredibly important. Also, rare.

Form: A note.

Meeting Yeine. (ref: HTK 19-22, 30-33, 34-38) significant neutral

Description )

Notes:
-Yeine is super important. Important and Enefa-ful and they were supposed to win her to their side.
-Arameri over all are terrible, and Scimina in particular is awful and plays a dangerous game with Naha.

Being trapped in mortal flesh by Shahar I and Itempas. (ref: HTK 23, 265-266, KoG 363-364) significant negative

Description )

Notes:
-This is one of Naha's worst memories, probably in the top three. I thought about lumping it together with the Gods' War in general, but I felt like it had its own emotional impact that deserved to be addressed separately. And also, the whole breakdown of the Three events seem like it's best broken down into bite-sized pieces.
-Hate Tempa. Not that Naha hasn't had a good deal of hate for Tempa before this, but it's been mixed before. This memory is pretty much all pain and betrayal and crazy, and it goes squarely at Tempa's feet. Hate. So much hate.
-On a related Hate note, physical bodies kind of suck. Or at least, there's a pretty overwhelming negative association with them that comes from being violently forced to assume one. For those who didn't read the quoted passages, it was a very brutal experience and both a "physical" and emotional violation.
-Also, an aspect of the forced into a physical body hate—it's sadly not explored much in the text (though it is implied), but subtext and word of god has Nahadoth identifying as female during the Gods' War and a substantial period of time leading up to it. Tempa pretty much decided to male Naha male because he prefers it, and over the two thousand years that followed that Naha came to (or seemed to come to) identify predominantly as male. However, this is an important part of the greater betrayal, I think. I've talked about this on plurk, so I won't belabor it here unless someone really wants to hear more. TL;DR: Naha is going to be hostile to the idea of being male again, at least for a while.
-Naha's frame of reference for pain is insane.
-TOTALLY UNSAFE FOR SHARING. This memory includes stuff human minds were not meant to see, or can't see. It is a brainbreaker. (Naha will probably make Tempa take it.)

Encounter with Yeine in the bathroom. (ref: HTK 223) trivial positive

Description )

Notes:
-...Probably a good thing this isn't a sharable memory.
-Recovering more of the screwed up Sky sexuality, though without the experience that brought it on so it's probably a little hollow; it's less the actual state he was in there, and more the awareness of sex as a viable weapon.
-TOTALLY DID GET A MEMORY OF MOLESTING A GIRL IN HER BATHROOM.
-This is a positive memory, particularly by comparison to what else was going... despite... these things I'm saying. '-'
-O rite I am totally not above quasi-tentacle sex. So there's that.

Watching over feverish Yeine. (ref: HTK 144) trivial negative

Description )

Notes:
-While this is not a super big or interesting memory, I do like it. The timing is pretty amazing coming on the heals of a trauma game like this. Luck is definitely behind Naha being protective/possessive of her team.
-While it's not a memory thing per se, I'm kind of glad to post a memory that references Naha's nature being change, and in particular the fact that Naha has to change. While Naha wasn't there for it, this is relevant to what I've been doing with Naha re: gender/sex. The situation which preceded this (which Naha will never get to remember because he wasn't there) included among other things a depiction of Nahadoth that surprised Yeine in part because while definitely identifiable, it seemed to be ambiguously female. The fact that Naha had been predominately female during the era leading up to the war was among the things that's no longer known among mortals. So this memory ties in, if only tangentially, to that as well.
-It also illustrates what I've been saying about Naha changing to suit other people. It's pretty clear in the context of the novel that he doesn't take a Darre appearance for himself; he takes it for Yeine. Whether not he even does it for Yeine for himself or whether it's mostly involuntary depends a lot on Naha's mental and physical health.
-Reasonably safe on the sharing scale. God senses are god senses, but drastically limited because of imprisonment, and mostly the experience would just be watching a sick girl on and off for a couple of days.

Winter solstice dance. (ref: HTK 345-350) trivial positive

Description )

Notes:
-First off, this memory is like 97% safe as far as Naha memories go. It all happens in the physical world, there's very little crazy or magic. I think that Naha's sensory perspective would be weird for a human, but in the end, it's one of the safe ones.
-There's a lot of talking around the plan for Yeine in this, and the exact situation with Itempas, so the specifics of the situation just aren't there. However, the emotional situation is. There's a lot of feelings here. And especially, Yeine-dere.
-This isn't necessarily an effect of the memory, but it's worth pointing out this is one of the scenes that demonstrates where I'm getting some of Naha's characterization from, especially the teamdere.
-I do think this memory will incline Naha more toward protectiveness. Sorry, Ruby, you somehow got a giant irresponsible, irrational, overprotective parent out of this deal.
- +100 anger at Tempa.
-This is a memory that also somewhat blends together the two personalities that Naha has remembered; at least, there's some aspects of the really ancient, soft memories in the more recent, more dangerous character.

Itempa's apologies on the new moon. (ref: BK 125) trivial negative

Description )

Notes:
-RELATIVELY HIGH ON THE SCALE OF BRAIN BENDING. Naha has worse. Other gods could handle this one easily enough, I think. (Naha has at least one memory that would brainshank even Tempa.) But it is god realm, it doesn't bother with physical metaphors or other organizations that would make it more acceptable for human consumption, and "hearing" prayers is kind of not a human thing. On the lucky side, it's very small, and could be much worse in terms of actual action.
-NAHA GETS TO REMEMBER TEMPA NOW. It's an interesting way to start that off. Tempa is walking the earth as a mortal, and Naha is a free god again. He's also very angry, which he'll remember. He doesn't remember why though.
-I'm not giving Naha an explanation in this, just Tempa's remorse.
-PROBABLY MORE THINGS I'M FORGETTING. Naha gets a lot of FEELINGS with this without the motivation to hold a grudge. He's probably going to be prone to lashing out at Tempa until the anger passes. When it comes down to it, Naha isn't really thoughtful. He's angry and hurts still, and he'll want to hurt Tempa in return. Though it could be much worse if he actually remembered why.

Form: Flip book.

Catching Sieh sleeping (just sleeping) with Yeine. (ref: HTK 105)) trivial negative

Description )

Notes:
-Relatively safe, if anyone else wants to take it. Not very productive though.
-This isn't going to make Naha like Sieh less. I think that, in many of these memories, there is a sense of their shared circumstance. However, that doesn't mean there isn't a particular order here. Naha might be a little less willing to let Sieh guide him.
-Naha's going to get a little punch up of territoriality here. His things are his things.
-Once again, Naha is drawn to Yeine in a way he doesn't quite understand.

Putting out the lights for Yeine. (ref: HTK 74-79) trivial neutral

Description )

Notes:
-Itempas is in there, in name only, but it confirms what Sieh's memory showed him, and now he has his own bitterness. Itempas is the one who lets humans command him. He doesn't have the full weight of the treachery, and he won't have all of his anger back. But some of it.
-+200 crankiness at being told what to do, but also willingness to be ...fairish... with people who are polite and don't try to force him.
-He knows he's interested in Yeina, partly in a way he doesn't understand even in the memory. He does, however, know that someone named Kurue wanted to work with her. That clicks with his memory of calling her a pawn—they are using her. That makes her different from the other Arameri.
-He'll be crankier/running more to his dark side for at least a little while after this memory.
-OH, and he knows about being someone else during the day, after taking this. Apparently it's different in Aather... possibly because he's got no god mojo.
-Some god perception here, but on the low end of dangerous if mortals take it.

Form: Book of matches.

"I need to threaten someone." (ref: HTK 236-251) significant neutral

Description )

Notes:
-Clothes are for suckers. Just saying.
-More seriously, this is all from Yeine's POV, so what Naha is feeling or thinking is really a mystery. Some of it comes through, but you'll have to bear with me for headcanoning out what's going on with him.
-Naha likes Yeine, in her way. She's useful, yes, though he's not certain precisely how she's meant to be useful. Maybe they're going to make her the next Arameri head to free them? No, that seems unlikely. Whatever the plan is, he knows he's a slave and a weapon, and that she's the piece (the pawn) that might be able to change that. But he also likes her for herself, for being kind of crazy, and alternately violent and compassionate.
-If Naha likes you, or you are useful to him, he has no problem killing or torturing people for you. It was kind of interesting. But don't expect there not to be a price—Yeine said not to kill anyone, and she had to face how far she was willing to go for that. She chose to kill them. I doubt that was entirely unintentional on Naha's part.
-Sex and violence are linked. Pretty directly. He is, however, willing to ramp that down a little for her, which comes through.
-Still no name.
-Still no idea who Tempa is.
-As Naha's memories go, this one is possibly sharable without too high a risk of going insane, though in the parts I glossed over (like Naha's method of teleportation), there is still some stuff that would bend your average mortal brain in uncomfortable ways.
