“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

In re: Documentation as Resistance — Chromatic v The Institutional Harassers



🪞 SWANK Doctrine Statement
Filed by Polly Chromatic, Archivist-in-Chief
SWANK London Ltd.


“Because if you’re going to harass me, I’m going to use it to help others — and make it beautiful.”
“The longer I’m harassed, the more research and documentation I can achieve.”
— Polly Chromatic, Mirror Court Doctrine


This is not a defence.
This is a design.

Where others react, we record.
Where others collapse, we catalogue.
Where others suffer in silence, we build an evidentiary cathedral out of the noise.


SWANK’s Position

They believed harassment would silence me.
Instead, it extended my bibliography.

Every obstacle became a timestamp.
Every delay became an annotation.
Every retaliatory act became an indexed exhibit in a court-ready mirror.

Because if you’re going to harass me, I will respond in the most dangerous form possible:
As a well-documented woman.

I don’t forgive what remains ongoing.
I don’t forget what remains undocumented.
I don’t flinch —
I file.
