Welcome to Midnight’s blog; a place where he comments on a wide variety of topics, putting words to feelings and thoughts. In a world of noise and bluster, of motion and posturing, the Black Gryphon’s very stillness commands attention.
Who is he? Midnight is the Black Gryphon – a guardian who operates in the uncomfortable space between ideals and reality. He values discipline over indulgence, accountability over excuses, and clarity over comforting lies. He speaks plainly, acts deliberately, and has little patience for performative outrage or moral posturing. These come from principles, not pain, and are not emotional outbursts.
He does not seek conflict, but he does not avoid it when necessary. His focus is balance, consequence, and responsibility, especially where others prefer denial or soft language. He believes in radical self-accountability and self-awareness. What follows reflects that mindset: honest, unfiltered, and unapologetically direct. These are not the ramblings that come unbidden to his mind; they are the products of considerable forethought, research, analysis and study.
Be warned: this isn’t comfort food. If you’re looking for validation, this may not be for you. If you’re looking for clarity, read on.
