    blabla?

    OKAYOKAYOKAYOKAYOKAYOKAYOKAY!!!!!!! TIME FOR A LONG AWAITED REVIEW FOR THE MOST PERFECT MASTERPIECE AND PROFOUND FANFIC I'VE READ FROM YOU!!!! ALRIGHTALRIGHTALRIGHTALRIGHTALRIGHTALRIGHTALRIGHTALRIGHT THIS WILL COME IS WHAT..... 2 DIFFERENT PARTS BECAUSE MY FEELINGS ARE OVERWHELMING TOWARDS THIS ALTERNATIVE ENDING WHICH I BELIEVE IS PERFECT AND EMPOWERING! THIS ENDING IS BY FAR THE SADDEST AND THE MOST BADASS OF ENDINGS!!!!!! AND I LOVE IT AND IT IS MY FAVE!!!!!! I LOVED HOW SHE DECIDED SHE WOULD WIN AGAINST HIM AND I LOVE HOW SHE DID IT THROUGH AN ACT AS EXTREME AS HER OWN DEATH! I LOVED HOW SHE CURSED HIM WITH THE ONLY WEAPON SHE HAD: HER BODY! Because at first, she was deprived of its control and now she is reclaiming it like a goddess reclaiming her throne among mortals. Moyra just turned goddess here. She became her own goddess and this sentence you love "I have called the goddess and found her within myself" is SO WELL illustrated here! It was PERFECT! It was empowring and all! It was the story of a woman, stripped from control and power, reclaiming it through blood. It was the story of a woman, suffering abuse and violence from a man she never chose and ending it. This was the story of a woman finding her strength in her voice, echoing through centuries to your brain and hands who delivered this strong message. This ending is PROFOUND and DEEP! This is so deep! This ending has an actual message beneath the words. It holds something ancient women can hear easily, something our predecessors screamed like banshees. It holds the strength of all those maimed women, abused by men who suffered not being able to be free. This ending, I believe, is the pinnacle of perfection for this fanfic. It is deep, moving and absolutely overwhelming; like a wave. I cried when the daughter died and I couldn't help making a parallel with Gyda. Would she approve of Moyra? Would she welcome the frail daughter? Daughters are so easily sacrificed on the show and I am glad, for once, that one's death is the source of a veritable reflexion towards feminism and empowerment. I am glad this death was meaningful and not gratuitous; simply there for shock value. I am glad it was justified by the message you conveyed with your words. This fanfiction is perfection. It is and forever will be a masterpiece of the most magical sorts for it calls something within ourselves, women. It calls like and ancient song; something harsh and raw; something painful. Thank you for letting us hear the call. Thanks a million for this multitude you wrote about. I just.... I am still feeling so overwhelmed by that ending. And I think I'll never get over it. Okay, here are my favorite lines:

    Or are you referring to the many times you took me against my will, leaving me sore until the next morning or night, when you would fill me once more? --- HOLY SHIT!!!!!! MOYRA'S DROPPING SOME BOMBS HERE!!!! I COULD FEEL HER RAGE, HER FACE DISTORTED WITH HATRED, SCOWLING LIKE A SHE-WOLF WOULD TO TO A PREDATOR SEEKING TO KILL ONE OF ITS PUPS!!!! IT WAS POWERFUL AS HELL!!!!! MOYRA!!!!!! SHE IS SO STRONG AND I LOVE HER! YOU GO MY GIRL!

    1/2 (more to come)

      OMG. I'm finally able to answer one of your always amazing comments. I couldn't have walked this journey without you. I love you so much and I'm sure you will achieve all your dreams. ^^

      I'm glad you liked the saddest ending because it was dear to my heart. As much as I want Moyra to stay alive to fight for her son and shape him into a man. Her death also could shape him, through the transformation in Ivar. As you said, she cursed Ivar with her only weapon. I'm grinning here that you see my baby as a Goddess and you even mentioned my favorite line of all times. I agree with you. She is a dark goddess, avenging herself and reclaiming control. Ivar can't control death and she walked to death gladly.

      I confess that I was so afraid to kill the daughter and be like Hirst. But I wanted to make clear how women are constantly sacrificed and now Moyra took her daughter by the hand to walk away from the pain. I confess that I've read this comment over and over again thinking that nothing I will ever write can show how much I appreciate your kindness and friendship.

      I loved the line you mentioned because it was like a slap on his face. The imagery you described is perfect. Thanks again. ^^
