Yknow What, Gamers, Im Confiscating Your Prestige Tv Adaptations Until You Learn How To Behave Like Respectful

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

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

Buckle up, folks, ‘cause shit goes down🔥🔪🩸
