Blood will Flow

Wise words from a wise lady. I saw posts about 'dreamweaver37' via various people on my friends list back when their child died, so naturally I went to their journal to read their story and straight away something felt 'off' about them. To be honest, their lives read like fanfic - a perfect gay couple with a bunch of kids no one else wanted?

I'm the first to admit however, that by nature I am horribly cynical so I just told myself I was a shitty human being for even doubting their validity when they were obviously well established in the SPN community. I've been around other fandoms a long time and seen various versions of this kind of thing, so maybe that's where my cynicism really kicked in. Either way, I was happy to be a shitty, mistrustful person if it means there are awesome people like this out there.

And there ARE. That's what all the people who got hurt by this deception (and cynics like me) need to remember. The truly good people are the ones who share a near-stranger's pain and do nice things to try and ease their suffering without an iron-clad guarantee that the stranger is who they say they are. No one should feel foolish for trying to see the best in people.

*hugs to everyone who is hurting*
