Hey! Am I going crazy or did you get rid of your Carmy fic? And you also had a 28 years later one as well, right?

not to sound crazy but the older I get the more I can’t help but feel like my cillian fics are actually problematic idk this is really weighing on my mind

@OneBaroqueGirl wow, this really shows you thought a lot about your characters on a much more personal level. Sometimes, as we grow up, we realize a lot of things about our characters or stories that were problematic or not explored well enough, in that case if you have the time to go through them over and rewrite, i wish you all the best for it ❤️

I think that’s why trying to “fix” the relationship retroactively became so difficult. you can change dialogue, make him more self-aware, make her more assertive, redistribute emotional power in individual scenes — but when a relationship is fundamentally rooted in one person orbiting the other, those patterns don’t disappear cleanly. they linger underneath everything. I still understand why Auden loved him but now, when I reread it, I’m much more aware of how often I framed her endurance as romantic instead of tragic

for some time now, I have been silent regarding the Israel/Palestine conflict on WP, mainly because I felt like I heavily lacked the education to really speak out. I didn't feel comfortable being a point of contact for opinions or resources, because my own ignorance made me realize how little I understood Palestine history.
let me make one thing clear - I have always been against settler-colonialism, imperialism and assimilation. I have always been against ethnic states, militarism, and authoritarian regimes. however, being american, our taught ideas of those concepts is heavily biased, rooted in our own involvement overseas and hardly extends beyond the ways we implemented those practices in on our soil. I recognize how fucked this is, and how privilege has influenced my lack of understanding of global politics, living blissfully unaware of what goes on outside of our large boarder.
that being said, within the last few months, I have been trying to fully grasp Palestine's history the best I can, in order to support their cause and stand in solidarity. I am against Israel. I am against their violence, their brutal methods of oppression and misrepresentative history. but most of all, I am against genocide.
I am trying to do better. I owe it to my Palestinian -American friends and their families. I owe it to my Palestinian readers and followers. I owe it to all those being ripped apart from their homes and from their country; for the men, women and children being massacred on the streets for their beliefs.
I stand with Palestine.

I stand with Palestine as well, having looked up what has happened previously with them and realizing it’s been going on for A LOT more than I previously thought. I’ve stood with Palestine since 2021 when I first found out about the conflict. So sad to see what the Israeli government has made the true Jewish people out to be, because the Jewish people I know would never condone any violence, and especially hurting and k*ll*ng children.

@G3TFREE- | right back at you! <3

I was listening to Fallen Angel by Three Days Grace and it reminds me of Auden and Cillian. Especially these lines:
I was right beside you
When you went to hell and back again
And I couldn't save a fallen angel
Haven't gotten around to reading all of book 2 that has been posted but the chapters I am on are going around a similar theme.
