I Would 100% Play 30 Hours Of This Game.

I would 100% play 30 hours of this game.

Enjoying TLoU Part II

You know, that game where a daughter and her lame dad hang out and ride horses in the woods and nothing bad ever happens to them? 🥲

EVERYONE COME AND LOOK AT THIS 😭

People are so cruel about Bella's appearance, and for what reason? Because they look like...a normal human being?

Ngl, I see how transparent so many people are when they complain about HBO Ellie - they hide behind weak little statements like "well, she just had more of a shitty attitude than the game" (she was more believable as a child raised without any semblance of love and care by a fascist government than she was in the game, you mean?) but really it usually comes down to Bella's looks, and I'm sick of it.

I have played the games (recently, admittedly, though I'd seen walkthroughs and was aware of the game and characters before the show just because I spend time in Internet video game communities) and Ellie in the first game is not a very believable character, for the most part. She existed as a reason to burden and eventually soften Joel, and I never felt like I really got a sense of her as a person until it came time to play her in the David scenes (though they did a great job with Left Behind, and I very much enjoyed playing her then).

Bella brought so much emotion and rage and humor and nuance to Ellie, and though when I write my versions of her I tend to mix aspects of both of them, I'm so thankful for what Bella has been able to bring to the character, and consider the HBO version of Ellie to be the superior one. You don't have to agree with that, it's a very subjective opinion, but it's how I feel about it. Does Bella look like Ellie? Not particularly. Do they kill it in the role? Absolutely. That should be enough, honestly.

But then I hop on Tumblr and see posts like the one above, and it just makes me frustrated that people can be so casually cruel about the appearance of another human being. This isn't middle school, let's grow up a little.
