# The Outlaw Aspect of [[The Dark Father]] >[!info]+ Also Known As: >- The Rebel >- The Pirate >- The Destroyer >- The Rule Breaker >- The Challenger >- The Devil's Advocate >- The Adversary --- # Common Confusions >[!help] Commonly Confused With: [[The Outlaw]] >**Error**: [[Mother|Mother]] vs [[Father|Father]] mistyping. > >Both of these types are [[Dark|Dark]], and quite outwardly expressive, but the difference here is that the Outlaw has a Vision or Cause it is trying to realize, it has a Goal in mind, something it is trying to **DO** (hence its association with the [[Father]]). > >The Animal on the other hand is trying to **BE** free, to **BE** wild, to experience itself, others, and the world fully without limits (hence its association with the [[Mother|Mother]]). It has no higher goal than its own experience, or collective experience with others. The Rockstar does not build or destroy anything systematically, intentionally...it just rocks out, which sometimes leads to creation, sometimes to destruction. But always, that is secondary to the rocking out itself. > >The Animal's need for wild freedom can often bring it into conflict with orderly systems, especially those of the Father, which can activate the desire to change things so it doesn't happen again — activating the Outlaw's Rebel aspect. So, in our society which is Father hyper-dominant, these two types can commonly be found alive in people together, especially children of the [[The Dark Mother|Dark Mama]], but they are fundamentally distinct.
