You used to share a broader range of thoughts, call out racism in the fandom, and now it feels like only certain perspectives are truly welcome (is that because the main antis share the same ship as you?...). If this is a space primarily for Haladriel fans or those who want to focus on Annatar/Sauron/Galadriel discourse, that’s fine! But at this point, I think it would be more honest to rename the blog to something like ‘Haladriel Confessions’ or ‘Annatar Discourse Central’ instead of pretending it’s a neutral space?....

I genuinely hope you’ll reflect on this and consider if your blog is truly welcoming to all Rings of Power fans, or just the ones who align with your own preferences.

Hi Anon,

Thanks for your message. I only started this blog for something to do in my spare time and to take my mind off some life changing events happening in my life right now which has been having a negative impact on me. I'm autistic/ADHD so big change can throw me sideways and the show/fandom has been helpful and distracting on my bad days and I've made a few close friends through it on other platforms.

I used to run a confessions blog here years ago in The Hobbit fandom and never experienced such negative backlash back then, even when I posted opinions on ships like Tauriel/Legolas or Bilbo/Thorin. 

I'm sorry you're disappointed with what I post, you're right, I should be more open to people's opinions (within reason of course). I'll sometimes read a submission and won't know if it'll hurt someone's feelings or not and I'll struggle to decide whether to post something or not. I obviously don't want to hurt people's feelings but I guess they can also block the blog?

I do support Haladriel yes but that doesn't mean I'm biased at all, I respect all thoughts in regards to the ship and definitely not the type to attack someone for having different views, like some people do I've seen. Maybe I'm too soft idk. I guess I just don't want to receive the hate or slander. I've had some nasty anons which I delete and don't respond to.

Thank you so, so much! I'm really happy that it's helping a little.

I started this blog in part because I myself was feeling a bit down and lost and I wanted something to focus on. Knowing that people are actually reading it and enjoying it means the world to me.

Hello! Sadly we're not much active on this blog, because both Lena-chi and I are working adulting is hard i don't want it, but I still come and check out this blog once in a while.

That was my oc, Wanda Rent.

She shows up in the studio before Henry, so she managed to find Susie before she started being taken over by Alice Angel.

Haha oops I’m used to it.. (AP COUGH COUGH dontkillmeiloveyouapteachers) Staying up was my fault tho bc I did all the research two days before the due date, wrote it all in one day and submitted at 11:59 pm before 12 OOP— (also I drew my own map bc it was geography and it was required)

Maybe I've not been thoroughly reading the confessions submitted as of late as I have had so many to get through.

I didn't realise there was any hate in what has been posted recently? I do quickly skim for certain words. Also I'm a big Haladriel/Saurondriel shipper so I'm definitely not anti, in fact I've been called biased. I get loads of anti Haladriel posts submitted along with homophobic comments about gay ships which get deleted straight away so I apologise if I've been lax.
