“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

SWANK LAW No. 074: We Don’t Compete with Ghost Narratives. We Walk Away.

A Refusal to Justify Ourselves in Someone Else’s Fiction

We do not chase people through the fog of other people’s opinions.

We do not correct the stories told by the insecure to the weak.

We do not enter contests we never agreed to be part of.

If someone cannot see us because they are looking through someone else’s lens — we let them go blind.

We do not audition for love.

We do not campaign for decency.

We do not remain in proximity to the emotionally misled just to prove we are real.

Triangulation is not a puzzle we solve. It is a poison we leave behind.

And when they come to — if they come to — they will find we have taken everything they once had access to and closed the gate.

We don’t fight for space in narratives we did not write.

We simply exit. Quietly. Impeccably. Unreachable.
