i know you didn't. you never did mind me waking you at all hours for things that made me happy. you were always good to me in that way— and other ways too. i'm quite spoiled when i'm with you. i have a feeling that you will play all of your cards right, and then some. that invite of yours is already signed and sealed. i wish you didn't have to keep it so secret, but i understand it. i'm sure the big reveal will be worth the wait. although, i have a big ol' hunch that elven prince will be the final reveal. it would be such a missed opportunity on their behalf. i mean this with my whole chest when i say there is nowhere else i'd rather be than by your side— for the highs and the lows. i don't want to make you feel uncomfortable, but i'm pretty sure whatever it is that you want isn't as out of reach as you might think.

You know I didn't mind you waking me at all, love, because I was happy seeing you so happy. And I'm glad to be around to support you, and I'll always be your biggest support system, no doubt about that. I'll always be your biggest fan too! You know if you invite me, I'll come to set without a problem, darling, and I suppose I could play my cards right easily enough to score that plus one too. It sucks that I have to keep my role so hush-hush because I've been dying to tell you who I'm playing, but I think you'll enjoy it when I'm able to tell. You being proud of me means a lot, you know that, right? Since you've been around for so many of my lows and my highs. Oh, I don't know. I feel like saying them out loud will make me a little too vulnerable for my liking.

that is the cutest reaction. it always feels my heart with so much joy to witness worthy people get the projects they deserve. imagine all of those adorable little girls who will see you and think, "wow! she's just like me, so i can do this too!". to know that you are able to touch a life like that is so beautiful. i had that when i played lexa. so many from the LGBTQ community felt so seen, and i loved that i could be part of that. have you? how far did you make it into the series? if you haven't made it far, then boy are you in for a treat. right? to see where i was two years ago to now is like night and day.

I still remember getting the call and just… freezing. I think I blacked out for like five minutes before I fully processed it. And you're so right, the fact that the Star Wars universe is making room for more women, more people of color, more depth, it makes being part of it feel even more meaningful. I actually started binging FTWD earlier this year. You brought so much grit and heart to that role. I loved it. Isn’t it wild to look back and realize how much we’ve grown since those early days?

alycia: this is difficult because we both share the same views about most things. do you have a silly little thing that you are passionate about? like a fashion choice? a favorite food? something we can argue about and i can witness this flail first hand. ba dum tsss. i love that for you. i know you have been through some things in your life, so you getting all of this love is exactly what you deserve. alycia: it irritates me too. it makes having friends of the opposite sex more difficult. i grew up with a brother so i naturally get along better with men then i do women, and not being able to just hang out with them platonically is difficult. i respect how private you are about that. you leave no room for the outside world to put their two cents in, and i have no doubt that when you finally do have someone, or if you do already, they will be well taken care of because you won't let the world rip them to shreds. oh my god, it was brutal. i was told i was using him, that he was using me to cover up who his real love was. i was just thinking to myself, "holy shit! i never met this guy!" 🤣🤣 alycia: i can't wait! i know kaitlyn talked about working with you when we were filming apple cider. she had nothing but amazing things to say, but it was nothing i didn't already know. it's kind of romcom-ish? i always wanted to do a romcom, so i was pretty excited for the opportunity to do something like this. and there have been new developments in my career since the last exchange and you are now looking at the new face of the godzilla universe. 🤗

pedro: what should we be arguing about then, missy? we'll have to pick something i'm passionate about and you bet my hands will be heavily animated during it. i'm in a really happy place with my life, so i feel very loved and spoiled every single day. i know not everyone is that lucky, so i don't take it for granted. pedro: i know that's the way it goes, but it still irritates me. especially when they bring that bullshit into red carpets when i'm trying to work and promote my projects. this is why i don't talk about my relationships publicly. some people just can't be normal and i'd rather not deal with that. i can just imagine what your comment section looked like. fangirls are brutal, some close to psychotic and it's never fun to be on the receiving end of that. pedro: the seasons are like my children, i can't choose between them but i will say the team did an amazing job bringing this season together. very proud of everyone for the work they've done. here's hoping the fans and you feel similar. that sounds like a very fun, modern idea for a film and i'll make sure to watch it when it's out. one more thing on my pile of things to watch. one thing i learned while being a struggling actor for most of my twenties and thirties was that when you have faith, in yourself and what you bring to the table, things will eventually work out. hard work does pay off, at least in my experience.

that's unfortunate. i can't believe there is another bug eyed, big lipped baddie out there. and here i thought i was one of a kind. i did hear that there were doppelgängers of ourselves out there in the world, but this is the first time i've heard about one for myself.

Spotted someone this morning who looked uncannily like you. Had me doing a full double-take mid-coffee. Either you've got a lookalike roaming London or I've hit that age where reality starts playing tricks (which is ridiculously likely). ( @alyvas )

aussie hell is the worst kind of hell to find yourself in, so the studio should be shaking in their boots. i feel like that's why my love for marvel isn't as much as it used to. i feel like they were trying to milk that cow as along as they could, and after a while the quality started to go down— at least for some films. i love that for you, because if that title doesn't invoke fear into the studio then i don't know what will. i would love to marvel in a spiderman movie, but i don't know if that will ever come.

alright, alright — message received loud and clear. i’m honestly a little scared for the studio now... aussie hell sounds intense, and i fully support it. you’re absolutely right though — if they hadn’t been off making seventeen different spin-offs and squeezing every drop out of the multiverse, maybe we’d already be swinging through another film by now. but hey, i admire the commitment. i’ll consider this your official application to be the voice of the people — and if i do end up in those meetings, i’ll just casually drop, “alycia debnam-carey is not impressed and she’s sharpening her boomerang,” yeah? also, side note — if you ever want to cameo and show them how it’s done, i’m just saying… you'd make a killer addition to the spider-verse.

there is a reason australia is home of some of the most deadliest creatures— and i don't just mean the animals. we're feisty. let's just hope i can actually put that level of fear into them when i give them a stern talking to. it's so sad when they turn something so beautiful into a cash grab. they started doing that with the walking dead universe, and after a while i knew i needed to walk away because the quality of the writing just wasn't there anymore. they just did enough to form some resemblance of a plot and tried to make it a gold mind. i hope marvel can get it together and the next film surpasses all the others. you deserve nothing but the best scripts. the day marvel actually notices me is the day hell will freeze over. i may never make it past netflix level stardom and i'm okay with that.

you know what, you’re absolutely spot on. aussie hell is the final boss of all hells — polite yet terrifying, delivered with a charming accent and a side-eye that could melt steel. if i were those execs, i’d be cancelling brunch plans and prepping apologies immediately. and yeah, it did feel like they were squeezing every last drop from the marvel juice box — and somewhere in the chaos, a bit of that heart went missing. i mean, i love being part of it, but even i can admit some of the films felt like they were made on autopilot. we need that spark back, you know? the real magic. don’t tempt me. don’t you dare tempt me. you’d steal the scene the moment you showed up — the internet would go feral. you say you don’t know if it’ll ever happen, but listen… if aussie hell can move mountains, maybe it can get you into the mcu too.

that's so cute. i think the fact that you are trying says it all. once that little one gets here you are going to be fully prepared. plus karlie has done this already, so whatever you feel you can't master she will be there to walk you through it. pregnancy is wild. i'm both excited and scared for the day i actually get to experience it. i love that for them, but i'm totally ready to battle it out.

not saying that i am already reading things, but i am already reading everything that i can possibly read. pregnancy is a wild and crazy thing the human body goes through. you are going up against Aisha and Jen but i think you will be giving them a run for their money.

when i got the call this morning i could barely contain my excitement. i hope i didn't wake you with an excessive amount of pillow screaming. but you know that your support means the world to me, right? you always were my biggest support system and you are once again proving that. that's right, you are a big godzilla fan huh? guess that means you have to come visit me on set when we actually start filming— and if you play your cards right you can be my plus one to the premiere. i really hope they plan to turn you into an elven prince or something. anything else would be a waste. i know i've said it before and i'll say it again, i am so proud of you. no one deserves this more than you. oh? what other things are you hoping for this year?

Congratulations, darling. You know I'm so very proud of you right now, and I knew that you'd not be without work for much longer given how crazy talented you are. Plus, I've always known that you were meant for the big screen, so it's no surprise that it's finally happening as well. And I'm excited, because you know I love that universe a whole lot! You already know my 2025 surprises, I'm fairly sure, the fact that I'm getting to be part of the Lord of the Rings franchise is still surreal to me. Especially given how much I love The Lord of the Rings. Though I'm curious what else good will happen in 2025 for me, I might have a thing or two I'm hoping for.

i'm sure once it fully sinks in you are going to be over the moon. i have no doubt that you won't be the most amazing father. sometimes things happen in life that we don't expect, but everything has a time and a purpose, and this is yours.

thank you so much! i'm feeling excited, nervous for sure but after the shock of it wore off the excited has gotten so much more! It's super unexpected but i totally cant imagine it not happening now. i really hope that i am, i'm a great uncle so i hope i going to be good at this new role.
