mara since you're finally back and better than ever on this hellsite can you please talk to me about what draws you to a character like leia and what you admire most about her character? thank you

chuckles!!!!! okay this got super long but leia organa is more than a character; she’s a legacy of strength, resilience, and unyielding hope. what draws me to leia is her duality—a balance between profound vulnerability and a steel-forged will. she isn’t merely the princess; she’s the one leading the charge, blaster in hand, commanding respect and embodying grace under fire.

what i admire most about leia is her ability to maintain her humanity amidst chaos. she carries the weight of loss—her home world obliterated, her family shattered—yet she never crumbles. instead, she channels that pain into purpose, becoming the heart of the rebel alliance. she’s a testament to the fact that leadership isn’t about being invulnerable; it’s about persevering despite your wounds, about standing tall even when the galaxy feels like it’s collapsing around you. leia’s wit and sharp tongue are also magnetic. she’s unapologetically herself, unafraid to challenge authority, speak her mind, or deliver the perfect cutting remark. whether it’s calling han solo a scruffy-looking nerf herder or facing Darth Vader with unflinching defiance, leia’s voice is one of courage, conviction, and an unrelenting desire for justice.

and then there’s her compassion!!! a quiet, understated strength that often goes overlooked. she cares deeply, not just for her friends but for the countless lives affected by tyranny. her love is fierce, protective, and sacrificial, a thread that binds her to others even in the darkest of moments.

leia represents the kind of heroism that feels attainable. she doesn’t rely on mystical powers or grandiose destinies; she’s just a woman who refuses to give up, no matter the odds. she’s a leader, a fighter, a diplomat, a friend, and a symbol of hope for anyone who has ever felt like they needed to stand their ground in the face of overwhelming adversity. loving Leia is loving the idea that even when you feel small, even when the galaxy seems too vast and the enemy too strong, you can still make a difference. she reminds us that bravery is not the absence of fear but the choice to act despite it—and that is endlessly inspiring.

i'm so honored to be tied to her in such an inexplicable way!!! her sticker is on my scrub cap, notebook, and her poster hangs in my room. she's been my role model since the first time i ever watched star wars and she always will be up there in the most influential fictional characters in my life, and i'm so happy to share my love for her on this blog and with everyone else. i'm even more receptive that so many people love her and my writing of her!!!

how does it feel to be the only person on this planet earth in love with king andrias

I'm so glad you asked. I think he's a great character to be in enamored with!

Is he a garbage person? Absolutely. Yikes, he's gotta work on himself. I cannot fix him and that's ok!

But I think he's still a genuinly sweet guy that just cares too much about the box, the past, and his father. He lost the chance to redeem himself because he let's it bother him so much, but I think he- genuinly forgot about it??? In a way??

Like.... he did like Marcy. He took the kid in without any hesitation (because he's a nice guy) and the moment The Core was like "hey dude. This kid? Yeah we need her for the plan." DANG, game over then.

He says he tried to convince the core and has multiple moments of hesitation with this whole ordeal. He looks severely uncomfortable with a lot of things.

Like I can't emphasis this enough, the personality we saw before True Colors is his actual, MAIN personality. He's just a tyrant when it comes to being in leadership roles.

Redemption? Sorry about 1000 years to late. But uhm.... yeah.

Also if they wanted to make him SOOO unlikable why'd they design him like that AND make him voiced my Keith David. Sheesh.

talk about hmmmm debbie and loneliness. or what kinds of people she ACTUALLY gets along with or likes

debbie is an insular person who is historically not very good at determining what she feels or what she wants, and that’s where a lot of her loneliness stems from. ruth at one point calls her out for not even being happy in her marriage in the first place, and mark (for all his faults.) says something similar about how debbie was really distant. and then another running theme of her character arc is that she is this incredibly intelligent, witty, pragmatic person who people dumb down a lot just because of the way she looks.  sam uses that sore spot to get her to join GLOW in the first place, and tex later in season 3 starts treating her the same exact way (which is what ultimately makes her turn on him), so like. essentially, debbie  pre- the first episode is a person who has spent a lot of time trying to fit herself into other people’s boxes.

and i think that’s why, after she cuts ruth and mark out of her life and before she REALLY starts to get involved with GLOW, she was kind of. alone. she really didn’t genuinely have that many other friends, because she was not living her life as a genuine person.

in a lot of ways, wrestling helps her with that! it’s liberating in terms of how she uses her body, but also as an emotional outlet (although conveniently one that doesn’t ever involve a lot of. talking, or sincerity), and it has also inducted her into this group of women who have become like a family to her. because she has those women, i don’t think debbie would ever really consider herself “lonely” anymore (although, obviously on denny it’s a different story, which is part of why she’s so unhappy) although... in some ways, yeah, she still is?

she’s lonely because she’s an ambitious person who is willing to be pretty cutthroat and sacrificial in terms of certain relationships when it comes to her career goals (which is the unfortunate tradeoff to, you know, her getting to the place where she’s willing to prioritize herself for the first time! she hasn’t quite figured out how to balance that.), and because she gets angry and holds grudges and pushes other people away.  i think the most emotionally intimate relationship she’s ever had was not with her husband, but with her best friend, and because her and ruth are so fucking Complicated now, debbie doesn’t know how to get back to that same place with her, or to get to it with anyone else in the first place. and it’s inherently lonely not knowing how to be close with someone.

as for what kinds of people debbie actually likes... i’m gonna be honest. women.

not that she doesn’t like ANY men because i mean, i really do love her friendship with bash, and bobby in season 3, but debbie has a comparatively INCREDIBLY short fuse with men whereas she seems to be willing to tolerate (and eventually love) women from all - and sometimes the weirdest - walks of life. i mean, [gestures to the glow ladies]. and like. let’s be real, that’s fair, because at this point not only has her husband cheated on her, but she’s spent years working in a male-dominated industry and being belittled and sexualized at every turn

but for more specific and particular qualities, i think debbie... really likes people who can make her laugh, and who appreciate her sense of humor in turn, because her jokes are often sarcastic and angry and sometimes kind of dark. she is undoubtedly drawn to people who are eccentric and a little out there, which is why her best friend was ruth, why she loves her coworkers, why she’s drawn to getting involved with the lgbt community, even part of why she clicks with hornet on denny. and... she really craves people who see her, all parts of her, even the ugly, angry, parts. even if it gets messy.

@housefortempsknight

Beatin had just finished, ah, encouraging an apprentice to finish his commission before the bloody thing was actually due when his pointed ears pricked at someone entering the Oak Atrium. He could tell by the bite of winter that floated into his shop that this was no regular Gridanian customer, but a traveler. He remained at the top of the raised platform in the back (where he could watch over his useless apprentices) and waited for the stranger to approach him.

It was a Duskwight Elezen with cesti hanging from her hips. Being of Wildwood heritage himself, Beatin knew this would either go moderately well or very poorly. He didn’t care about the social intricacies of his race, personally---that was more Silvairre’s domain, and Beatin had already been deemed an embarrassment for his inability to wield a bow despite his talent for making them. He would treat this stranger with the same amount of disdain as he had for every other race, including his own.

Momo, what kind of books do you read? Is there a specific genre that you are interested in?

Ah jeez, you can’t possibly make me choose! There are so many good books.. so many genres to adore.. so many sleepless nights spent reading.. ah. I suppose if I had to make a choice, it would be fairy tales! I must admit that I’m a slight sucker for the Prince Charming tropes. When I was younger, I always tended to dream that one would scoop me up and take me to a fancy castle. Knights and all, even. Ah, on a white horse, as well! The genre always stuck with me, haha. But I enjoy all genres and forms of literature, of course!!

nemaeus replied to your post: ooc; This muse is a shit character because he...

{ wrath is such an A+ character }

ooc; GOSH, I'm so glad you think so. aah, I put so much thought and energy in his character.

Forever is a long time to hold grudges and, well, he literally embodies bitterness, hatred, violence, vengeful ideations and all that good stuff (plus, his abilities are enhanced by how strong his emotions are). Being legitimately hated by him or making him angry is not something people should strive to be or do, thus why he's so chill all the time (and why he tends to lose in friendly spars). I try to stay consistent. :'o)
