Every villain has a signature weapon, and gaslighting is the spell of choice. It doesn’t roar or scream, sometimes it whispers, twists, and makes you question your own reflection. One moment you’re sure of yourself, the next you’re apologizing for things you didn’t do.
Gaslighting works because it rewrites reality. He’ll tell you he “never said that,” even when you know he did. He’ll call you “too sensitive” for pointing out his cruelty. He’ll spin every confrontation into your fault, until your confidence cracks under the pressure of doubt.
In toxic lore, gaslighting is powerful because it isolates you from your own instincts. But here’s the truth: the spell only lasts if you let it. Once you start trusting your gut more than his words, the magic breaks. His power was never real, it was borrowed from your self-doubt.
Tessa’s Final Thought:
The villain only wins if you forget your truth. Don’t let his spell silence your story.
