The first 80 seconds of this, Moira Rose’s speech, were read by my and my wife’s mums at our wedding ceremony in 2023.
Catherine O’Hara as Moira Rose is such a comfort blanket, never mind her other hilarious performances.
I think this explains why I cried when I heard.

How is it that people are unable to understand that whether we see the 'real' ending or not those 'mistakes' weren't mistakes. They were filmed and edited with the purpose of producing an ambiguous ending for those who choose to look. #conformitygate
They do but just like last year when they released the record they aren’t selling the vinyl in the UK store.
People of the internet. How does one - me - acquire Critical Role’s Winter’s Crest Vinyl in the UK?
Life is requiring a lot of brain power right now, and the only thing clearing the sludge has been these black space experiments.
Seems like a pretty normal Scottish summer. Well, maybe more around the 70 mark. We’ve had a ‘heatwave’ of 80 degrees this weekend and now the population is covered in burn lines because outside is cooler than our keep the heat in air con free homes 😂😭
Having to read people comparing M3GAN 2.0 to Terminator 2 makes me fear we will indeed be overtaken by AI. And, instead of Sarah Connor defending us we’ll have an army of sympathisers.
Some advice from a Scottish person for any producers setting a production in Scotland. If you intend to cast people from outside Scotland in a role with a Scottish accent please hire an accent coach who is actually Scottish themselves because these accents in Dept Q are very distracting.
We won a pub quiz for the second week running last night and I feel like I’ve reached the pinnacle of accomplishment in my life.
Turns out @mothsprimkle.bsky.social, @sagalauren.bsky.social, James and I make a great team — and together together we are… The Sherlock Homos. 🕵️
Which I think the game was really good at showing, but the series made her seem like she was younger and a lot less sure of herself - which takes away a lot of the conversations, and makes me think was influenced by the backlash from when the game was first released.
I think given that it's five years later and she's nineteen you're supposed to see her as this mature independant woman (because that's who she thinks she is) making these descisions when really she's a nineteen year old kid who will have to face the consequences in the aftermath.
Though I have to say the Aria/Ezra relationship hits pretty differently (see even worse) when you're thirty-five and not twenty - Okay, wow, I feel old now realising this show started in 2010 and that was fifteen years ago! - and it's just plain creepy that she's sixteen and he's an adult teacher.
Another issue for me being the lack of understanding in what elements were important in the story's structure. Leading them to focus too much on the why and never really showing the what which is how Abby's storyline unravells into more important meanings as we revisit those days in Seattle.
Season Two though never moves Ellie beyond that 'innocent' kid who finds herself in circumstances out of her own control. Season One being handheld by Joel to and out of Boston and Season Two by Dina and Jesse to and out of Seattle.
Part Two is supposed to be how the death and violence surrounding this post apocalyptic world can overwhelm your 'innocent' main charcater into making selfish decisions that are evil even if they can feel justified.
Having watched #TLOU Season Two finale I have to admit my fears were cemented of it being a diluted version of Part Two. And, I know, it's a long game and it's an adaptation, but it feels very much like the creators were scared to put the darkness on a television screen instead of a gaming one.
Rewatching (well, it's on in the background) Pretty Little Liars reminds me of just how perfectly ridiculous that show was. From the storylines to the fashion to the editing choices it was all performed with just the right mix of dedication and understanding.
A common occurrence happens every time I read a new @mariwriter.bsky.social book in that my surroundings match the colours of the cover art. This time the highlands of Scotland on the banks of Loch Morlich.
Everyone loved Joel/Pedro Pascal, yet every week I’m faced with articles about #TLOU and how Bella Ramsey isn’t Ellie enough, or how Isabella Merced has changed the story of the game to make Dina more important, or how Kaitlyn Dever is, well, Abby - I wonder what the connecting thread could be…
Maybe I’ve streamed too many hours of Blue Prince play-throughs because when I walked over a dirt pile in the middle of an Edinburgh street my brain went “wait you missed a dig spot” before quickly remembering where I was and done what I could to pretend I was normal.
Because sports.
I’m bored of the is Kaitlyn Dever built to play Abby debate? As if she’s being reduced to what her body tells us. But, wait, of course it does, she’s a woman. How she looks tells us more than the words she says, the emotions she gives as she protects - not kills - in #TLOU Part 2, right? *sighs*
How #TLOU HBO series continues to honour Ashley Johnson makes me heart happy. There was no more emotionally fitting way to mark THAT episode than her version of Through the Valley from TLOU Part 2 Covers and Rarities EP as the ending scores.
I mean, all I've played for the better part of a year has also been Minecraft and Fallout 4 to the point I'm now on the fence if I want a PS5 or a Steamdeck.
Falling asleep with a stream of Blue Prince on Twitch while having musical theatre songs stuck in my head meant waking up from a dream where I was in a maze of different productions which included a version of Oliver with Olivia Coleman and Les Mis with a dog..?
Another reminder that I don’t have a PS5 yet to playthrough the remaster Part 2 😭😂
That can be either the best place or the worst place depending on who you ask. 😅
Is it Thursday yet? Well, actually... Four years ago the realms of TTRPGs were foreign to me. But, thanks to TLOU and discovering Ellie & Abby were on this dnd series together my life changed. I made friends, I started writing, and I discovered the world of fanart and illustration.
