#//i'm like 95% sure that you and kira got me into the women of the otherworld series / bitten as a whole too so bonus points for that too

i can't fully put it into words but both you as the mun and flori as the character have this ✨️ vibe ✨️ that draws me in. a good vibe. an excellent full of life vibe that makes me smile every time i see you on my dash. flori has had my heart since she offered leah blood sweets, i think, and she's just proved to be more and more lovable. she got the tragic backstory but she's still a good. she's not perfect but she's trying. she's funny and realistic and well rounded. and a vampire hacker? always neat

the lore and world building you, tessa, is a cherry on the already awesome cake. i love your spin on lgcs and the triad and the work you've put into the character / the world

what drew you to my oc? / @viikingwitch

aaah thank you so much! that means a lot coming from you! because i remember finding your freya blog first - i think that was before you made leah - and i remember being so blown away by you and the love and care you gave freya as a character, exploring the avenues that canon hasn't, like freya turning into a vampire, for instance.

i thought you were so cool, back then, and i still do. that hasn't changed at all. you say that i have a ✨️ vibe ✨️ that draws you in but you also have a ✨️ vibe ✨️ that draws me in, for sure.

i could listen to your thoughts on your characters, and even characters that you don't personally write, like vincent and keelin, for ages. like i appreciated your insight on how freya deals (or doesn't deal) with the knowledge that she's the only mortal among an immortal family so much, because it says so much about her, and i don't think the show dwelled on that as much as it could have done.

and then you made leah and i just fell in love with her - and, yes, i know she'll want to bite me for saying so lmao - but she's just everything i - personally - want in an oc, especially in a mikaelson sibling oc and i want to put her in my pocket forever.

she plays so well with everyone (even if her way of 'playing well with everyone' is being a mischievous little shit ten times out of nine).

and also, i just really appreciate that leah looks at vampirism differently. it's not a curse to her, it's a gift. and she imparted that wisdom onto floribeth too, who's been looking at things through that same mindset.

floribeth's feelings in regards to the mikaelsons are complicated. but aside from hope, i can say with certainty that leah is her favorite mikaelson and you are my favorite tina! <3
