Call me Leigh. They/them. Early 30s. I'm a GM that likes to make characters I never get to play. 98% OoC things that interest me or make me laugh. I have too many characters. See my bouquet.
Hello there! I've not updated my pinned in awhile, so here we go!
I'm a system collectively known as Leigh! We operate under the tag #the rare leigh! Under the read more is some of the characters that appear between the random stuff of this blog (mostly mutuals posts, some random stuff and fandoms I like) I'm very lazy with tags, apologies! I tend to tag spoilers for the first 3-4 weeks.
Please click on the description of their flower to go to their main page with more than just a blurb. Oh, and I use #the bouquet for group shots!

“why is the among us show actually good” “oh why is the among us show funny” “oh i can’t believe this cartoon is good and not just shitty references” “i thought this show was going to be trash”
i’m so disappointed in y’all. did infinity train teach you nothing? of course it was going to be good??? it’s owen dennis????? and they let him do whatever he & his crew wanted????? it was always going to be good what happened to supporting animation??????
among us is about the exploitation of poor laborers under capitalism and the way corporations deliberately keep workers at odds with one another to avoid accountability and cut costs. and it is also clearly being a lancing criticism of the animation industry (with themes referencing HBO’s treatment of animated shows, movies, and the creators they threw under the bus and deleted works of, particularly in the Warner bros merger and beyond. one of which being owen dennis’s pervious show infinity train)
and uses its creative freedom given to it by funding backing an existing IP (silly video game) in order to explore these themes in a very not-ironic plot and writing style about little space blobs and also STILL has some of the best animated expression work i’ve ever seen.
plus every character is nonbinary. everyone should give it a watch. it’s really funny
oh god, and i didn’t even mention how the show wrapped and then got stuck in corporate limbo for about 2 years before it was unceremoniously dumped onto streaming with not a sniff of warning or advertising to the point where the artists and actors who worked on it didn’t even know it was out. 👍 NO BIGGIE‼️

I just want to point out that literally every episode of this entire series starts by showing Korra literally being under Aang's shadow
But trying to stand on her own, apart from him
Even as she is constantly, endlessly measured against a romanticized, perfect version of him that never existed
Exactly like the relationship between TLOK and ATLA
I don't think it's a coincidence that the massive immortalizing of Aang's greatness in republic city looks like the young Aang fans know rather than the older one that we see in TLOK
The statue is literally on a pedestal
Republic City immortalized the young Aang on a pedestal and every intro visually indicates her dealing with being the direct successor to that romanticized legacy, it’s not subtle
And she spends the entire first season in republic city, which that statue towers over
Meaning she’s literally under his shadow
And like
I dunno if anyone noticed
But the citizens of republic city in season one sound *exactly* like the crybabies online
It’s all literally right there being addressed in the text
I think they knew exactly the fire they were playing with when doing a sequel series to a show on that much of a pedestal with an avatar that’s this different
Side note: I think the fact that Katara is explicitly asked “what happened to Zuko’s mom” and the show deliberately didnt answer it and immensely moved on is also a declaration that this is NOT Avatar The Last Airbender 2.
another thing that pisses me off in regards to the fandom's treatment of lyse by calling her a white saviour or saying that within the story she is unnecessary and useless because she didnt live as an ala mhigan, so therefore the role of leader should go to m'naago instead, is the fact that. well. the point is that she is disconnected from ala mhigo because she left. she has monologues about how she feels unfit to lead. there's so many quests where you get to see her being rejected by her own people or be violent towards her because she wasn't there to suffer like they did. this is something they constantly rub in her face! this is the entire point of her character! the disconnect!
ala mhigo was torn by garlean invasion, their entire people scattered and forced to leave to the rest of eorzea. there are so many displaced ala mhigans that LITTLE ALA MHIGO EXISTS, FULL OF ALA MHIGANS WHO COULD NOT LIVE WITHIN GRIDANIA OR UL'DAH
Rejected by the elementals of the Twelveswood and unable to adapt to Ul'dahn custom, Ala Mhigan refugees eventually settled in southern Thanalan. In exchange for supplies, the residents allow the Immortal Flames to maintain a presence, and Little Ala Mhigo now serves as a post whence to watch the movements of the Amalj'aa
you literally interact with meffrid in A REALM REBORN
IN FUCKING GRIDANIA
WHERE THE PALACE OF THE DEAD THING IS. IN THAT SMALL CAMP. BECAUSE HE TOO WAS FORCED TO FLEE
how can you look at lyse in the eye and see stormblood in a vacuum and not understand that the entire point of lyse becoming the face of the resistance is the fact that ala mhigo does not abandon her children, regardless of where they are and who they are? that she rejects this position of power over and over because she understands she's unfit to lead as someone who didn't fight for her own homeland?
THE LITERAL GYR ABANIAN ANTHEM THEY SING AT THE END OF THE MSQ EXPLAINS IT. COME YE WAYWARD BROTHERS, BEREFT OF HEARTH AND HOME
this is why lyse is tied with hien, because he was born DURING garlean occupation. he has never seen a free doma, this is something they insist upon on his side of the story. they are linked because hien has never seen the country his father died for and yet he is here to continue the fight and ensure doma is liberated. its the exact same for lyse. hien's life hinged on the desire for freedom, if his own people didn't want to be free then he was going to kill himself because there is no point in him fighting for and existing as a symbol of freedom. both of them had their people acknowledge they're needed!
wayward brothers! in the lyrics of gyr abania's anthem!
wayward daughter! as the theme for tsukuyomi!
this is why yotsuyu is also important! why fordola is important! they are still, at the end of the day, daughters of their own countries who matter as much as anyone else who embodies the perfect upstanding citizen! it matters that yotsuyu is treated as doman (even after the questionable decision of giving her amnesia which just. feels like an easy "feel bad for her bc we couldn't figure out how to make a victim turned perpetrator seem empathetic"), because her pain and suffering came as a result of doman patriarchy. it matters that fordola grew up as a "priviledged" ala mhigan child within garlean camps! because neither group accepted her or her family in the end, because she was always going to be seen a traitor and a savage regardless of what she does and what she accomplishes!
again, the writing and the pacing and the way so many things are handled in stormblood is objectively baffling and shitty sometimes! but there is still the foundation of a story grounded in people of color! and pretending like stormblood doesn't exist or its the devil from the bible and it killed your dog because lyse is white skinned is just adding to the issue!
also, meffrid's quest chain is started by (Minfilia - also a blonde, pale-skinned Ala Mhigan though that's not ever relevant, sadly because she never comments on her Ala Mhigan roots - and) this guy. Haribehrt is a minor Ala Mhigan NPC in the quest 'Meeting the Resistance' who recommends you to them. He also feels rejected by his people even though he wants to help and joined the Scions to do so.

important reminder that most people you follow online are significantly lamer than you think they are including me. and if you feel insecure comparing yourself to someone online: DON'T. theyre probably also lame and weird. most people on the internet are
"if i had a time machine i would go back in time and kill hitler"
I would put sea mines around medieval britain. i would give hannibal barca ww2 era heavy artillery and tell him not to stop till he starts seeing gauls. i would give boudica a fucking abrams. i would appear before jesus like an angel and tell him "you gotta stop. not cause theyll kill you, youre fine with that, surprisingly, but because your fanclub is gonna spend about 1500 years making everything worse for everyone, everywhere." I would take a glock back in time and shoot romulus, shoot remus, and shoot that damn dog too just to be safe. i would be on the side of christopher columbus' ship in a scuba suit planting c4 on that bitch like rainbow six siege. i would be waging a one woman campaign of terror across andalusia to prevent the reconquista. i would be getting way out in front of that shit is what im saying,
