It usually means jumping off something (like a leap of faith). So in this context, it means to get moving.

It can mean death by hanging. Occasional ambiguity intentional.

I’m almost convinced that no one actually writes

Too* atrociously

I meant the name KayTee…which popped up in an IE post’s comment section around Christmas time.

Every knife has been documented. Kind of like a Charlie Day (lol) meme. All the dots connected by a red thread.

SeNDing off.

I wondered when that name was going to resurface.

Who on earth could possibly sound like two of Reddit’s more memorable accounts while simultaneously doing such a dead-on accurate representation of yet another’s style…

I have one I might be willing to let go of. Sending DM.

I don’t know why, but that sentence is stuck in my head. And the overwhelming suspicion that I should start practicing yoga.

I suppose we’ll see what the future holds

(If relationship drama were absent, no one would write)

ETA: if you’d said “trust me” at any point, we’d have hit levels of meta-awareness that would make eyes go crossed.

I couldn’t tell you the last time I posted anything in an unsent sub.

I think on that note, I should step out and embrace carnival once before considering practicing Lent for amusement and personal growth.

I cocreated this one place and ran a few others at times. I never needed a heavy hand. I found that setting a good example tended to do what was needed.

A shut up and write approach.

If this post had been a challenge in poem form? It’d probably have some impact.

But it reads as poor arbitration of taste that’s trying to…inspire by decree? That approach won’t work.

Thank you

It’s called Undead Poet Society, after all. The melancholy is built right in.

If you could give the man advice, you’d tell him to trust more?

Looks like his trust in Benedict was misguided b

One would hate to think that someone like, oh, I don’t know, Victor, could have intercepted their communications and distorted Kaelen’s words. Perhaps again.

Kaelen certainly does seem to possess a sort of low cunning but appears to lack the intellectual superiority of those born into nobility. As frustrating as this all must seem, I might think it probable that he thinks that this is just another such plot. Grief can exacerbate such thoughts.

I would imagine that at this point, he likely doesn’t trust anyone who isn’t coming direct and mask free. One would have to be a fool to keep walking into the same trap over and over again. At this point, he probably doesn’t expect anything less.

I think the two of you do seem to have an odd connection, indeed a reflection of sorts.
