#bleigona

so i got bleigona for my person! lexa is by far one of my favorite characters from the show and i’m always excited to see blogs for her show up. she’s not the easiest character to get into the mindset for, and i know people struggle to make her fit in because she’s no longer a part of the show. but bleigona has brought her back into the universe and made her a part of it again wonderfully. sometimes it gets hard to think of ways a character could have cheated their canon death, but bleigona has found a way to do so in their writing. they have also found lexa’s voice in their threads and that’s not always an easy thing to do with a mostly hardened character like lexa. often times it’s tough to take a stiff on the outside character like her and give her the human characteristics that we saw of her behind all the armor, and make sure she doesn’t seem weakened by those characteristics – bleigona has figured out a way to do just that in their writing as well. it’s wonderful to read.

so, going through your blog and reading all your starters has made me so wowie. especially the one you wrote for waldenborn. your ability to lay down context whilst still keeping the writing interesting and inviting is honestly so freakin good. you not only bring in the character’s thoughts and emotions but you keep it succinct and to the point which is surprisingly difficult to do. 

unfortunately, i don’t know this mun as much as i’d like to. the mun seems so lovely, so nice and welcoming, who’s dedication to their character is so heartwarming and inspiring. i haven’t been following for long but i can’t wait to actually get to know this mun, because i already adore them with the little knowledge i have of them.

i think @bleigona has a great grasp on lexa’s voice. with a character that is supposed to be hardened to everything that isn’t her job and her duty, that can be hard at times. we didn’t truly get to see a lot of lexa opening up and showing vulnerability, so sometimes finding a voice of a character like that can be troublesome. but they are able to put those words together to make the character’s thoughts and sentences flow easily as if they were being said by lexa herself. it’s not always easy to write a character who at times could be robotic in her words and actions, so being able to pull that off is a wonderful thing to see.
