“Now I think that this would make for a fantastic obit—so I tell my younger friends that no matter how I go, I want it reported that I drowned in moonlight, strangled by my own bra.”
The last thing she told us was "Hope." Cling to that.

Carrie and Debbie
Carrie Fisher was always brilliantly and unabashedly herself, and did so with humour and unfuckwithability. We were so lucky to have her.

Leia was cool but it was the @carrieffisher of the last few years – brash, unapologetic, ferociously vulnerable – that I loved the most.

Carrie Fisher wasn't for you and your metal bikini fantasies. She was for those of us who grew out of wanting to be the princess
— #nastywoman, phd (@ppyajunebug) December 27, 2016
She was for the women who grew up and struggled. Who struggle with mental health and addiction and relationships and KEEP ON GOING
— #nastywoman, phd (@ppyajunebug) December 27, 2016
She was for the women who saw themselves in her words and her struggle and her fierce individuality. She wasn't for you. She was for us

Carrie Fisher wasn't just Princess Leia. She was every woman who has fought to be more than the damsel. She was for us.
— #nastywoman, phd (@ppyajunebug) December 27, 2016
We lead rebellions. We fight our demons. We are fierce and funny and fucked up. We are Carrie Fisher and you will not take that from us.

We drown in moonlight, strangled by our own bras, our own words, our own legacies. Carrie Fisher is for us, is us, will always be us.

I had one professional interaction w/ Carrie Fisher. We were on an arbitration panel together, got on a conference call to determine credit.
— Robert Hewitt Wolfe (@writergeekrhw) December 27, 2016
These calls are anonymous, but I recognized her voice immediately. Carrie Fisher was a top notch script doctor… but spent the call…
— Robert Hewitt Wolfe (@writergeekrhw) December 27, 2016
Passionately defending the credit of the original writer over the parade of rewriters and script doctors. Fisher saved Writer A's credit.
— Robert Hewitt Wolfe (@writergeekrhw) December 27, 2016
It would have been understandable if Carrie Fisher had sided with rewriters like herself, but instead she protected the little guy.
— Robert Hewitt Wolfe (@writergeekrhw) December 27, 2016
It's noteworthy… praiseworthy, in fact, that Carrie Fisher never sought or accepted credit on the scripts she rewrote. She was all class.

2016 always goes for the hurt

And early in the show, Debbie made a crack about how younger people dragged here by their parents wouldn't know who this old lady is…
— Katie Schenkel (@JustPlainTweets) December 29, 2016
In any case, Debbie asked all the people under 20 to raise their hand so she could see them….
— Katie Schenkel (@JustPlainTweets) December 29, 2016
And then, with a mix of teasing and pride in her voice, she singsongily said "I'm Princess Leia's moooooooooom!"

And I never forgot that. The whole show that night was bawdy and fun, and I've always had a soft spot for Debbie Reynolds.
