In The Span Of A Day She Got New Period Information, Open And Emotionally Intelligent Conversation, And

In the span of a day she got new period information, open and emotionally intelligent conversation, and the “don’t trust random old men” talk and she was shook

okay but i love how maria's approach with ellie was to just mom her into submission

maria was just like, "alright, here's some new clothes. do they fit you okay? you got the thing i left you for your period? any questions? you good? c'mere, time for a haircut."

and ellie DID NOT know how to handle it

this kid who is so used to rebelling against authority with a "go on, i can take it" response to discipline just IMMEDIATELY disarmed by someone AGGRESSIVELY mom-ing at her

Hello, can I interest you in joining my religion? Every Thursday night we watch Joel Miller scream “WHAT TOWN”… that’s it. That’s the religion…

Y’know what, gamers, I’m confiscating your prestige tv adaptations until you learn how to behave like respectful people with basic human decency towards female, queer, and poc characters and even more so their actors

If you’re not gonna watch the Last of Us HBO because you don’t like how Bella Ramsey looks, then fine, whatever, your life.

HBO, Craig Mazin, and the rest of the fans? They don’t give a shit that you’re missing out on a fantastic show and performance because you’re too shallow to care about something other than someone’s appearance.

The problem is when you insult a someone’s appearance online. It’s cruel and objectifying, and it’s even worse when it’s someone who isn’t even old enough to drink in the USA.

You genuinely forgot that they’re a real human being with feelings and a life, and that they don’t exist to cater to you. That says a lot about you as a person.

Being awful towards Bella doesn’t make you special or opinionated. It doesn’t make you a bigger fan of the games. It doesn’t make you seem smart or cool or edgy. It just makes you seem like what you are: an asshole.

Listen to me when I say this: The Last of Us is a huge show and you being a dick isn’t gonna change the fact that it was one of the most viewed and best shows of 2023, and that the same thing is probably gonna happen in 2025. So go cry in a corner because they won’t recast an incredible BAFTA, Emmy, and Golden Globe nominated actor. We don’t care. We’ll be enjoying a great show with a great cast of real humans who look like humans instead of carbon copies of digital avatars or supermodels, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
