That's what the rose *wants* you to think. But the leader of the cult is the greatest, kindest, best leader ever. And you are getting sleepy...veeery sleepy.

I think the reason children can give 'sense' to anything is because... they don't. They skip over key details completely - there is no sense; they don't need it.

Well, I certainly can't argue with that logic...

oh, I've got a new inscription! *clap hands*
Kidding. That's the least I care about.

I love this point. Most likely this is it.

Yes, it does seem that the Blue Rose of Forgetfulness makes a person extremely impressionable. Of course,
anyone
who loses his/her memory in a cartoon always becomes about as impressionable as a mudpie.
Yes, deserts do often get cold at night. The same conditions that let the heat in during the day let it out just as quickly come nightfall, so you can end up with some pretty radical extremes.

Post subject: Re: Things about Jas & Co that confuse me.
These are the types of questions people will forever ask, regardless of the fandom. Still, I will use my imagination to answer the questions.

Next. I noticed that everybody there sleeps clothed (or these are such fashionable pajamas?). The sultan even doesn't take off his turban. Ok, maybe the nights are cold, i forget about it.
The artists are too cheap to design PJs? Or, if we're pretending these are real people, then yeah. Fashionable pajamas.

And the last moment(s). Concerning Abis Mal and Mozenrath. How do they manage to survive after all those, it seemed, complete defeats (and stay healthy like nothing had happened)? It is not normal. Who released Mozy from the Black Sand or the cristal Ix? Maybe I ask too much from the animated movie. Strange things always happen there, and there is no logic at all.
There are heaps of theories concerning "Whatever happened to _____" so I won't list them. Rather, I'll let you decide. Keep in mind also, Iago and Abu showed up after the battle at Dagger Rock. Xerxes will do anything for his master. And for whatever reason, Harud sticks by Abis Mal. So, it's not like the villains can't come back for more.

The Blue Rose incident is another sighting of the cliche where, if someone loses their memory, he/she can go good/evil at the drop of a hat. It's ridiculous, I agree.
As for Jasmine's taste when it came to dressing up Aladdin... it's very possible that while she has a pretty good sense of
female
fashion, her sense of male fashion is slightly askew. It's not difficult, really - I've seen people who can dress the ladies up quite nicely get absolutely absurd when it comes to male clothing.

Oh, and her tiger - how come that he forgets everybody EXCEPT the princess? Then, in "Strike up the Sand" she shows the lack of taste. But her sense of taste seems to be ok while she dresses herself. So, tasteful or tasteless? Next. I noticed that everybody there sleeps clothed (or these are such fashionable pajamas?). The sultan even doesn't take off his turban. Ok, maybe the nights are cold, i forget about it. And the last moment(s). Concerning Abis Mal and Mozenrath.
