Couple of Thoughts...


Couple of thoughts.

1. Rob showed his face after a LONG drought.
The face is good.
The face is always good.
I missed that face.
I love that face.

2. I find myself disgusted... once again...
by the actions of some of the fandom.
My disgust is multi-layered...

A. Someone had their house burn down.
I don't know this person.
I don't know anything about this person.
But I have read that she lost everything...
including some beloved pets.
My first reaction?
Sadness.
Heartbreak.
I feel for them.
I wish I could do something to help them.
It doesn't matter if we agree or not
on issues within this fandom.
That is insignificant to what this person is going through.
Yet...
How did others react?
With glee?
With malice?
I don't get it.
I really don't.
Above all else...
Are we not all human beings?
Does someone's opinion make them
deserving of such horrific heartbreak?
Absolutely not.
Please stop this madness.
Stop making this bullshit drama 
PERSONAL.
It's not.
THIS is all just a distraction.
What this person...
who has lost everything...
is REAL life.
Help her.
Even if its only a kind word or two.

B. One of the things I despise almost as much as those who
attack people on a personal level...
Are those that cast people in generalities...
That paint people with the same brush.
I know some people would call me a 'sheep'
just because I believe that Rob and Kristen are together.
But I follow no one.
No one leads me anywhere.
I make up my own mind.
And do NOT lump me in with people
who would attack someone who has just lost
all their worldly possessions in a fire.

Realize that when I use the term "Hyena"
it is to a relatively small group of people...
(And I've never named names)
and they reside on BOTH sides of this fandom.
It is applied to people who relish in the attack
who swoop in when someone is down...
and bite and kick when someone is most vulnerable.
Hyenas make it personal.

Most of the people I come across in this 'world'
are good people.
They enjoy Robert and/or Kristen
They enjoy a giggle... or some good snarky sarcasm.
But they don't enjoy pain and seeing people hurt.
Real people.
Real pain.

ANY Personal attack is disgusting.
No matter who...
No matter what.
It doesn't matter what side of this fandom you are on.

This post is brought to you by the letter *T*

T for Thoughts and Prayers
I'm sure someone out there could use them.


Bye for now.
