***”I so enjoy discussions like these”, she said wielding a bloody axe in her hand.***

Not a grammer police by any means, but I would correct it like this:

“I so enjoy discussions like this,” she said, wielding a bloody axe in her hand.

Note punctuation changes.

Your version looks exactly right. The test on the object pronoun is to try it with the noun. “I so enjoy discussions like THIS discussion,” not, “I so enjoy discussions like THESE discussion.”

I did not think to ask after the punctuation police. I sincerely thank you.
