Carrie Fisher, R.I.P.

[eldritchhobbit]

Carrie Fisher was many things: mother, sister, daughter. Accomplished author and actress and script wizard. Advocate for mental health and addiction awareness.

But to five-year-old me, and to forty-five-year-old me, she was my first heroine.

To me, she was royalty.



I'd like to think the afterlife knows its Hamilton, and she is greeted properly:

Here comes the General. Rise up.

Such a perfect tribute. It brought back the tears. Thank you. As someone w/bipolar, I hero-worshiped her completely.

Aw, thank you.

Speaking of bringing back the tears, the wonderful George Takei tweeted this, and it really spoke to how I'm feeling: "When artists depart this world, we mourn not because we knew them, but because it was as if they knew us. Artists reveal to us who we are."

*hugs you tightly*
