C: Adult stepping in here, this has gone on quite a bit. You’re arguing with a toddler, who yes, is a goddess of magic, and upsetting her because you want to play an antagonistic role. You should have realized that your stolen organs joke caused her distress the first time you made it. The REASON for it causing her distress is because in her first life she was chained to the floor and forced to eat the corpses of the children who were sacrificed to her. Is it really worth continuing this nonsense when all she wants is an apology in order to reverse the divine judgement?
Creep! How am I going to learn to deal with mortals if you don’t let me do it myself?
C: Remember what Lord Hades said. Even gods sometimes require the assistance of mortals.
The GAP Fausty You're right, that's on me.

I should have known better than to make jokes on the internet, where anyone could have traumatic memories of being chained in a basement and forced to eat child sacrifices in their childhood. That is a very normal thing to have to be considerate of, and definitely something I could have had prior knowledge of before engaging in conversation. I admit that I'm in the wrong here for not having prepared for that accordingly.
While you're here to teach me these very important life lessons, maybe take a moment to teach your child that when someone upsets them, they should use their words instead of their godlike powers? That was one of the first lessons my parents taught me, perhaps you could take responsibility for your own child and have the decency do the same?
And I have no need of her to reverse anything. She's been too busy trying to dole out unjust punishments to realize that she can't take my magic.

C: I don’t expect you to have known her past, but you clearly looked at her and saw she was upset by your organ theft joke, which you then doubled down on.

I explained why it was upsetting to her because I had hoped that it would give you some perspective as to what her complaint was. I can sense the sarcasm being laid on so thick that I can only get the impression that you’re not that great of a pony. I don’t expect Lord Hades will have mercy upon you when you reach the underworld.
Also, she’s not my daughter, she’s my sister. And it’s not really my place to tell a goddess what she can and can’t do with her sphere. But I will recommend, Faust, that you show this grownup that you’re willing to say sorry, I do think it was an overreaction to jump straight to divine judgment as a solution. You need to understand that not everyone is aware of what your first incarnation experienced, so it’s not fair to immediately resort to divine wrath. Okay?
F: *Looks at Ember, then at Creep and nods* I’m sorry for taking away your magic. It wasn’t fair because you didn’t know. You can use magic again.
The GAP Fausty I don't really care how good of a pony anyone thinks me to be. Kid, if you interact with people, sometimes they'll upset you.

How you respond to that is your responsibility, not theirs. You are in control of your own self, and if you're gonna have god-level powers, you gotta learn fast because many people respond to violence with violence, and next thing you know you'll have a torch-wielding mob at your doorstep. You're lucky that I'm all talk and sarcasm.
As for Hades, he can keep his mercy, I'm outside of his jurisdiction.
((If you're gonna RP as an actual child you should probably make a note of it somewhere so people can act accordingly. This would've gone very differently if there'd been a clear indicator of that.))
((I’ve referred to her as “Small filly”, “toddler who has control over the concept of magic”, I swear in the info section of my profile it mentions she’s a year old. But fair, I probably could’ve done more to make it clearer. Not sarcastic.))
