Sorry for the crashout last week guys 😅 (which was 9 days ago?? It felt like 3 honestly)
I was in a particularly stressful place at the time. And let me tell you, scrolling on the Ao3 subreddit and stumbling upon a post where people expressed their dislike of the pregnancy trope was not a good idea.
People are entitled to their preferences, but seeing people reply how they've gotten tokophobia from their past experiences and even pointed out how most of the time the trope was written poorly took a toll on a very stressed, burnt out, ready to sleep for 10 days straight, lil' ole me. Don't get me started on how people also mentioned it was a tacky element to generic romance.
I'm fine now if you're about to ask. How did I cope? Knitting, reading (physical books,) and customizing my phone to be Hedric themed. I'm not even joking. Therapy be damned, therapeutic coping mechanisms is the way to go.
Hopefully this'll reach those who were concerned in my last post. That was already my second time crashing out on this acc. Let's make that the last.
