Your villain arc is being right about how things have always been done, at length, to people who did not ask. There is a correct way to brew it, fold it, pronounce it, and celebrate it — and you are the volunteer curriculum. You've said 'back in my day' unironically before turning thirty-five.

New things must first survive your review board. Trends are guilty until proven classic. Somewhere a friend is not telling you about their life choice because they can already hear the seminar.

But when people are truly lost, yours is the door they knock on — because the old ways you keep actually hold weight. The upright Hierophant teaches without the syllabus. Save the lecture for when they ask. They do ask.
