Took The Long Road by @lightninginabottle0613 on Ao3

Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel Kyrie eleison, through the darkness of the night Kyrie eleison, where I'm going, will you follow? Kyrie eleison, on a highway in the light

I love how you keep it real. As a girl who suffers from anxiety and depression it’s awesome to see someone else so open about their mental illness. I appreciate it so much.

Giiiirl! GIRL. Thank you so much! That means SO FRIGGIN MUCH TO ME!!! And tumblr has been a better place with you on my dash.

Also, you don’t suffer from anxiety/depression, you experience it. Don’t let those fuckers win ♥♡♥

whatmakesmebleed replied to your post “Even though I don’t enjoy reylo and I’m kind of annoyed about Rey’s...”

Thank you for this. I do like Reylo but I also like FinnRey and FinnPoe and I would love to be in the fandom but damn all the words that get thrown around. I got a vibe in Force Awakens. The Last Jedi fed that vibe. I just liked them. But man. The SW fandom is wild.

Yeah, one thing I sort of hate about fandom nowadays is how people use terms like abuse/pedophilia etc. like it can apply to anything. I’ve seen people call ships with an age gap pedophilia which... err... you can say you find those pairings creepy or criticize how often Hollywood pairs up older actors with younger actresses. But don’t use the word pedophilia to describe it, please. I feel like throwing words like that around can make their real meaning more confusing for people - which is kind of irresponsible. Btw, didn’t some fans try to call Gendrya in season 8 pedophilia? lol. anyway..

I think it’s important to educate people about what abusive behaviour/relationships look like. People already have trouble identifying abusive behaviour and relationships. I’m somewhat aware of different abusive tactics and patterns because of my own personal life, therapy, and research I’ve done about it. 

So to see fans throw that word around like it means nothing and use it to describe a Disney villain doing villain stuff is err... yikes.

whatmakesmebleed replied to your post: another issue i’ve had recently isarya wasn’t...

Yes. Thank you. It bothers me too. The wound isn’t even close and I feel like it’s just an excuse to make Arya say I never wanted kids.

i know there’s a lot of kid fics for arya and gendry, specifically

But there’s also ones that go the 1. arya doesn’t want children and never has or 2. arya is infertile route

and it’s a --- delicate real world issue. like, there isn’t anything wrong or evil or bad about being infertile. (i’m looking at you joss and d&d) but sometimes it leaves me with an uncomfortable feeling on how it’s being used? if that makes sense? especially with arya. as a character her relationship to her own femininity is complex and fandom’s realtionship to her relationship with her femininity can be, uh, messy.

so I just sit here in murky feelings of i don’t know but i’m feeling some kind of way. 

but damn it, stop saying the waif’s stabbing was near her uterus. that bothers because it’s clearly not at all.
