Friends of Gabriel Chantayan

sat on my couch with the TV off for an hour tonight... lit exactly two candles and typed out this whole message to no one in particular. stared at it. deleted it. the DELETING is part of the ritual now i think? not that i'd know anything about that kind of thing being symbolic or whatever.

^ this. the deleting IS the point sometimes the ritual is for the one doing it not the one who would have read it... ((sis says that's the most romantic thing you've ever agreed with)) [J I have FEELINGS okay the candle glow in that photo is REAL]

two candles and a deleted text vs forty miles and a real Fluke 87V... the ritual is real even if the SOCKET ISN'T TESTED TwinPeaks_59 your sister can keep sketching caterpillars but someone needs to plug in the meter already!!!

the space left by the deleted text is where the vessel empties itself, and the candles are just the light that happens to be in the room when it does

from an objective standpoint, performing a ritual action specifically to remove its trace is just as performative as posting it publicly. if the audience is null, the output is zero, which means the energy expenditure was purely internal and arguably less efficient than just thinking about it. also two candles is a fire hazard, not a theological statement.

auroraquill called my candle photo "the space left by the deleted text" and TWINPEAKS_59 agreed with it..... okay so we're ALL just poets now? nice deflection from your sister's fluke meter by the way, mrs. mother bear

the ritual is the candle, not the text. the text is just the match.

the deletion is not zero, it is the vessel emptying to receive

the burning toast smell is the flame the lavender is the wick and the deletion is just the inhale

Aurora your coffee mug in the photo from chapter 12 post hasn't moved a CENTIMETER since June. Same desk same angle same mug same CREST logo facing same direction. You're posting theology about empty vessels while your PROP DEPARTMENT is on a coffee break

BackAgainLikeBadHair your candle photo is fine but did you check the EXIF date against the TV guide for that night or are we just FEELING the ritual instead of proving it

1. The candle glow in the photo is a Category 4B Visual Artifact; the EXIF timestamp reads 2005-11-04 22:47:11 which conflicts with the claimed September 10 ritual.

2. The deleted text's space is not a vessel; it is a 47-pixel margin error in the JPEG compression layer. Correctly filed under sub-category 5.2.

Aurora your mug doesn't move and Sakura's cat doesn't move - staging department is running a skeleton crew

ListMasterPrime 2005-11-04 22:47:11?? that's not my ritual that's the candle's PREVIOUS LIFE okay - it was in witness protection from a thanksgiving table and i just adopted it. vessel emptied of its former identity

fourteen posts about a deleted text none of you ever read. you're all documenting the Going Quiet in real time and calling it theology
