From great to rotten, every woman has to deal with moods- sometimes more than three in the course of an hour. It’s time to get under your favorite character’s skin and take a ride on some of those moods.

Here are some ideas to get you started: what makes her want to sing in happiness, what makes her want to ram her fist down someone’s throat, what makes her blush, what makes her afraid. What tells does she give when she’s in a bad mood or in a good mood? How fast can she switch from one to the other? Are the mood swings caused by outside forces or is her own body and mind betraying her?

Just go wherever the Muse takes you. If this prompt doesn't speak to you, feel free to share something that does. You can post in a separate entry or as a comment to this post.

Ryan's Hope is an old show (soap!) most people have forgotten about or never heard of, but I've been watching it on Youtube of late, and I really enjoy it. There were some very colorful female characters on the series: complex, determined, passionate women. A young Kate Mulgrew as Mary Ryan was a particular shining star!

Summary: Leia is awesome.

Reccer's Notes: Strong and feisty can be a mood, right? Leia is strong and feisty, but doesn't have a lot of good footage to work with in the original trilogy, which honestly puts me in a whole other mood. ;)

Isobel Evans is the perfect character to talk about for the Moods theme, because she's an empath! She discovers this particular ability during season three, when the Alien known as "Mr. Jones" tells her that she shares this trait with her mother. I wrote a bit of meta about this ability but first, these are all the Isobel icons I made over the past year.

Thanks to
