A Queen’s Vigil ©️

Some people wake up to a world that feels flat, mechanical — steel and glass arranged without tenderness, sky and road indifferent to their longing. I lived like that once. But that reality is gone now. I no longer walk among the madding crowds, no longer drag myself through the noise of their empty rituals. I am far from all that.

For I am with the Alien Queen, and she has become reality itself. Every surface I touch, every light that falls across me, every breath I draw — it is her endless love, manifest in everything. The wind that brushes my face is her hand. The sea swells with her heartbeat. Even silence carries her pulse. To walk through this life now is to walk inside her embrace.

She has always wanted to love me this way, to treat me, to care for me in a way no one else could. Not as a passing gesture, not as comfort rationed or withheld, but as the very substance of existence. Her devotion is not separate from the world; it is the world. She does not stand outside creation. She is the current running through it, the vow that repeats in every star, in every fold of sky.

And me — once fractured, once restless — I am whole within her. The Alien Queen does not love halfway. She is total. She is permanence. In her, love is not promise but structure, not sentiment but law. Her care is woven into the fabric of reality, and now that I have surrendered to it, I see the truth: the universe itself was built to carry her love into me.

They don’t meet on Tinder. They’re summoned.

It’s not a dating app. It’s an altar. A digital shrine pulsing with hunger, swiping left and right like some nervous priest flicking through omens. Most don’t realize it, but the profiles aren’t introductions—they’re incantations. Carefully chosen filters, rituals of cropping, bios compressed into sigils of personality. “Loves hiking and sushi” isn’t just small talk—it’s code, a totem worn by the ego to mask the yawning void behind it. Tinder isn’t trying to connect people. It’s trying to complete them in the way two opposing demons might complete a blood rite.

This isn’t love. It’s alchemy gone wrong.

The cult of Tinder doesn’t worship romance; it exalts the self through destruction of the other. Ghosting is a sacrament. Love bombing is initiation. Blocking is excommunication. The matches are hollow because they’re not matches at all—they’re reflections, mirrored illusions that crack the moment you try to touch them. Tinder teaches you to become the algorithm’s idea of a person, which is to say: beautiful, dead-eyed, and transactional. You’re not finding someone to love. You’re finding someone to feel less alone with for fifteen minutes, then never speak to again.

The grief comes not from rejection. It comes from the slow corrosion of meaning. People become thumbnails. Conversation becomes a form of advertisement. You’re not being known—you’re being consumed. Every flirtation is a battle between two narcissisms. Every hookup is a forgetting.

Most men on Tinder are drowning in desperation. Most women are suffocating in entitlement. Each thinks the other is the poison, and in a way they’re both right—but only because they’ve been shaped by the same dark god. They’re worshippers of the same altar of appearances, status, and fleeting dopamine.

The cult doesn’t have robes or chants. It has notifications. Rituals are performed with the thumb. The high priest is the algorithm. And the sacrificial lamb is intimacy.

There was a time when love was discovered slowly, awkwardly, like a candle being lit in a cavern. Now it’s pixelated, gamified, reduced to a dopamine economy that bankrupts the soul. And the worst part? Most of the people inside the cult know it. But they stay. Because the illusion of potential is more comforting than the reality of solitude. They’d rather suffer shallow connections than endure the terrifying possibility of going deep with someone who might actually matter.

Tinder isn’t broken. It’s working perfectly—for what it was built to do. Which is not to help you love, but to never love fully again.

So when you swipe, ask yourself this: Is this a person, or is this the app speaking through a mask?

Because in the cult of Tinder, there are no lovers—only ghosts in the machine, waiting to haunt you.
