Anonymous asked: (unfollowed for reylo, which is triggering to me as an abuse survivor)
I…did not intend to reblog anything as Reylo as I firmly do not ship it myself, partly because it is dubious with some heavy abuse overtones (not my jam) and partly because there’s like a 90% chance they’re first degree relatives (REALLY not my jam). My interest in the two of them is more because he seems determined to batter himself to pieces on Rey, which is a dynamic I recognize as being very unhealthy and also find very interesting as a writer. I am sincerely sorry that you found it upsetting (fairly sure I know the post you mean), but not that I find the dynamic interesting.
I am glad you are taking care of yourself, though, and hope that your recovery is going well. You probably won’t see this, but in the event that you do, I want you to know that I am proud of you for surviving and withstanding. I know how hard it can be, some days, to hear the whispers of those who hurt you in the voices of those who haven’t, or see their shadows cast over the things and people you love. You have survived and that makes you strong even on the days when you don’t believe it.
