DEAR DARKNESS [Public]

DEAR DARKNESS: Don't you think that somebody shouldn't claim to have made a perfectly good apology when they are actually still planning on making more of that apology, and that they should probably get on with it if that is the case because somebody who has been wronged shouldn't expect to have to wait around forever

Dear Dragon

If someone has done you a grievous wrong, it is your prerogative to set the terms of their apology. If they truly desire your forgiveness, they are subject to whatever conditions you subject them to. Otherwise, you are perfectly within your rights to tell them they are never again to burden you with their existence. I suggest you ask them to apologize by painting you a mural in their own blood and possibly semen (if they have it, otherwise any combination of blood, teeth, and bones will suffice). 

Best Wishes,
DARKNESS

DEAR DARKNESS: There's this guy, or I'm pretty sure it's a guy, anyway, they post stuff online, but not like you do, but, like, poetry and stuff. Anyway, I'm pretty sure they're kind of amazing and I want to meet them. Just to compliment them on their poetry. Definitely not to try and get a date or something. Because that definitely wouldn't happen. But yeah, question: what do you think is the best way to find someone who's posting anonymously online?

Extra question: you're not him, right?

Dear Summer Lore (the pony???)

You should write poetry of your own, about them writing poetry. Make it as epic as you possibly can. Include dramatic scenes in which they are writing poetry and you arrive bearing a sacrifice of some sort. The bloodier the sacrifice the better, poets are very dramatic people and grand gestures are the way to go. Leave them links to your poetry in comments on their work. If they are interested, they will probably initiate a meeting. However, I cannot caution you strongly enough against becoming romantically entangled. Love is ill-advised and usually just leads you to do truly deranged things.

Best Wishes,
DARKNESS

P.S. I am definitely not him. Sadly. I am not a poet.
