lots of stories about being possessed by demons and forced to do evil things against your will, not many about being possessed by angels and forced to do good things against your will
I think you could actually write an incredible horror story about this actually
if you get possessed by a demon and start doing evil things, everyone’s immediately like “oh no this isn’t like you, this is so sinister, we must put a stop to this and restore your free will” but if you get possessed by an angel* who’s going to stop you? who’s going to want to stop you? your friends are either going to approve or they’re going to start resenting you and cutting ties…
and I specifically don’t mean this happening to an originally evil or villainous character, just like, a normal person with an average degree of benevolence and selfishness, succumbing to a gradually escalating series of good deeds that offer no pleasure or relief that they never would have chosen
I really hate to do this to you, but I really do think this could be. a kink thing….
I have neutral news about literally anything
The thing is, an angel never would force a person to do things against their will, even if they found themselves possessing a person for some reason. Forcing unwanted actions upon a person (breach of consent) is an evil act, in and of itself. An angel would likely attempt to persuade the person they’re possessing to do good, but they wouldn’t force them.
See now but that’s stupid. Humans recognize “good”/not evil violations of consent all the time. We snatch poison out of the mouths of children, pull people away from ledges, and overpower violent attackers all the time and consider that to be “good”. We apply coercion on a societal level all the time and, usually, ascribe “goodness” to it when it seems to serve a greater good (ex. taxes, food safety regulations). So either breaching consent is always inherently evil and the concept of a greater good is invalid (in which case taxing the rich or taking poison from a child are wicked acts) or breaching consent is a lesser evil than allowing greater harm to happen (such as the child dying) or enabling more important good (ex the maintenance of roads).
If we define an angel as cosmic force for the nebulous concept of “good”, then it’s either wholly incapable of any degree or moment of wickedness, however small, and therefore completely useless, or it’s able to assess a relative value to good and evil acts and may do so on a system not immediately apparent or relatable to humans.
