The burden that's been attached to my back,
the one I've willingly carried, mind you,
it has long held my dark wings in restraints,
an uncomfortable stiffness against my stature.
My head has been down in sorrow, and in pain,
waiting, in endless patience and dedication,
for the chasm to fully bare its darkness,
so that I may throw the princess I've carried into its depths.
The pilgrimage is finished, the procession has completed,
and I stand on the edge, gazing into this abyss,
reminiscing over the depths from which I came,
my fond progenitors ministrations at the forefront.
Across the empty space it goes,
arcing in a second's suspension,
before easily falling prey to the forces of gravity,
and disappearing, smaller and smaller, out of sight.
My wings now free, I stand tall, my eyes low
and I return, unencumbered, to the forest night,
and there, in the glow of the pagan bonfires I adore,
one can once again experience the impression.
If one looks without having to look,
in careful, surgical, and knowing deliberation,
the non-perception of it will inversely coalesce,
the shadow crown above my care free form.
“And you you may have noticed that the channel related drama, the stalker related drama has gone way down of late and that’s because I had to get proactive and it was exhausting and it was hard and I don’t like doing it. But it it ga- it bought me a time of peace.”
Liana Kerzner in I Want To Do More Positive Content… But… (Feedback Friday) at 13:58
First: I argue that I am not a “stalker,” as I have written, and will be shown time and again.
And do not insult my intelligence—Liana has used the very same process of inference she has mocked and demonized to determine that I am referencing her or her post, which demonstrates that, within Liana’s sphere, she is “allowed” to do precisely what she attempts to strip from other people.
In my opinion, this is a gross misuse of the word stalker.
It characterizes fairly average and common behavior in a specifically negative, fearful, and character-assassinating light, and it has become far too common in these pseudo-influencer cultures.
Everything here is purely Liana’s interpretation of events, as is most everything she says about Maus and me. They are not facts.
And given all of that, second: I have no idea what she is talking about in terms of any effects or influence.
The so-called “related drama”, being my grievances, which she has summarily ignored and deflected at every turn, has not “gone way down of late.”
I do not know what she was proactive about, what exhausted her, or what effect she believes she had. She did not ‘make’ anything “go down,” nor did she accomplish anything that I’m aware of. There was no temperance enforced upon me, though it certainly sounds like she is implying that there was.
And so, consistent with how Liana resolves conflict, I can simultaneously speculate that no, she must not be talking about us, despite the fact that, as has always been my point, her closer audience will demonstrably infer, even if incorrectly, exactly who she’s talking about for themselves.
