01 / Curiosity before certainty
the moth does not know everything. that is the point. ask strange questions. wander into unfamiliar corners. be willing to change direction when the light moves.
02 / Culture before charts
a creature is not a candlestick. we are here for the stories, the drawings, the inside jokes, and the impossible little things people make together. none of this is a promise of financial value.
03 / Be weird. Be kind.
there is room in the night for everyone. no harassment, no impersonation, no pressuring anyone to buy anything. being mysterious is fun. being misleading is not.
04 / Bring your own light
you do not need permission to make a drawing, write a story, or invent a new corner of the universe. community creations should be clearly marked as unofficial. the archive begins with a creature, but it grows through people.
