Dark patterns in modern times refer to trickery in UX to make unsuspecting people do things the people designing them want them to do. But the concept is an old one that can be applied to almost any form of language. I see enormous power in what you do: it’s creative, intricate, utilitarian, and plays with the uncharted. Its power exists in its action, but also comes through how little those who don’t know the language understand it. The active choice to hold dark energy in your hands at all times, something that to us looks like magic, so easily used at others expense, and use it the way you do: is rare.
