tiktok, tiktok…

if there’s one thing about me, it’s that I’m going to fail at pop culture trivia. I don’t have tiktok and trending topics usually don’t concern me. but! when it was announced that Wicked would air as a movie, this was challenged a bit. the wizard of oz was my all time favorite growing up so it feels like a right of passage to hear the story of Wicked. right? right. but instead of watching, I’ve decided to read it! 100 pages in one day— it’s that encapsulating. but maybe for reasons I wasn’t expecting. it’s leaving me with this errie thought that the timing of the tiktok ban and the release of Wicked is more important than we notice.

what if tiktok is the dragon clock?

hear me out… this might sound like a lil conspiracy theory esque, but stay with me. with Wicked hitting theaters, I couldn’t help but notice some eerie synchronicities between the story’s infamous time dragon clock and the current cultural moment. specifically, the growing conversation around banning tiktok. what if tiktok isn’t just a platform, but a modern version of the dragon clock itself?

so what is the dragon clock from Wicked, you ask? WELL! it is a theatrical, all-seeing device that doesn’t just tell time— it reveals what we don’t see. it acts as a mirror for society’s darkest secrets, all under the guise of entertainment. and when you think about it… isn’t that exactly what tiktok does?

but here’s the thinker: the tiktok ban began making headlines at the same time that Wicked was about to make its big return. coincidence? or is there something deeper happening?

here’s my take!

the dragon clock and tiktok: the parallels

in Wicked, the dragon clock spins its tales of morality and sin, using performance to manipulate and control. it’s a mirror that reflects society’s worst instincts— envy, pride, greed… the 7 powers of the ego. all while keeping people entertained and distracted. even worse— disconnected.

now, think about tiktok. it’s a platform built on performance, where trends spread like wildfire, feeding the very same energies:

- pride: the obsession with going viral.

- envy: the endless comparison culture.

- wrath: cancel culture and online outrage.

- greed: the constant chase for monetization and clout.

I could go on but you get it.

tiktok isn’t just reflecting our behaviors— it’s amplifying them, turning them into rituals we unknowingly participate in. and the algorithm? it’s the unseen wizard pulling the strings, shaping what we see and what we value.

so what about black mirrors and ahrmanic energy?

if the dragon clock is a theatrical tool of manipulation in Wicked, then tiktok is its modern, digital counterpart— a black scrying mirror for the masses. even in the book “TikTok” is referred to as a blasphemous ideology. and black mirrors have long been associated with occult mystism, dark magic, divination, a way to reveal hidden truths or connect with unseen energies. now, those mirrors are in our pockets, in our cars, in our houses, at our jobs… recapitulating curated reflection of our own desires, fears, and sins.

and this isn’t just any kind of energy. it’s Ahmanic.

Ahrmanic energy thrives on technology, disconnection, and materialism. it’s the force that pulls us out of our bodies and into a hyper-digital, mechanical existence. tiktok feels like its perfect playground—hypnotic, addictive, and designed to keep us scrolling.

the synchronicity of timing is where it gets really weird. why is tiktok suddenly under fire now? why are we talking about bans and restrictions at the exact moment Wicked, a story centered on the dragon clock, is coming back into the cultural spotlight?

it’s almost as if these two narratives are colliding:

- Wicked reminds us how performance can manipulate and control.

- tiktok shows us how that manipulation plays out in real time.

and now, with the tiktok ban, it feels like the dragon clock might be about to stop spinning— or maybe just spinning out of control. did you notice how many people today have already acted as if their lives have been taken?

SO! what’s the endgame?

whether intentional or not, this synchronicity feels like a warning. we’re being shown how easily society can be manipulated through spectacle, distraction, and performance. tiktok, like the dragon clock, reflects back our own energy, magnified and distorted.

so, is the timing of all this just a coincidence? or is it a kind of predictive programming? a cultural moment nudging us to wake up and see what’s really happening?

I don’t know about you, but I think there’s more to this story than meets the eye.

whether you see tiktok as a harmless app or the modern dragon clock, one thing’s for sure: we’re in the middle of a moment where performance, energy, and technology are colliding in ways we’ve never seen before. and just like in Wicked, it’s up to us to look behind the curtain and ask the hard questions.

because black magic isn’t about rituals in the dark— it’s about the spells we don’t realize we’re under. hidden in plain sight.

what do you think? is this just a coincidence… or are we being shown the reflection of something bigger?
