Faking Under the Mistletoe - Ashley Shepherd
My Thoughts
When I stated this book, I was going into it expecting an overly Christmas-y Hallmark-esque, low-stakes romp. And that is partially what I got.
At first glance, Olivia is not at all my cup of tea. She’s a people-pleasing, glass-half-full, non-confrontational pushover with more Christmas spirit than the entirety of the Hallmark brand. In short, She drove me absolutely insane.
Then, we meet Asher, a grumpy, caustic, sarcastic, Grinch of a man. Again, in short, I about instantly fell in love. (That probably says a lot more about me than I’d like to admit.)
Olivia and Asher together are so highly entertaining. A lot of my favourite romantic tropes were played out with them – the bickering, fake dating, seemingly-enemies-to-lovers. However, there was still a fair amount of miscommunication between them that did absolutely drive me insane, as it usually does.
Had they spoken more honestly and frankly with each other, I think Asher and Olivia could have definitely had some smoother sailing into their romance. Especially when it all nearly imploded over the dirty little secrets the agency they both work for were trying expertly to cover up.
This part of the story hit me hard. Despite how quickly I read this book, I had to take a step back a few times and come down from anxiety. (Thank you, Ashley Shepherd, for your warning at the forefront of the book – it helped a lot!)
Even with the overall Hallmark-y demeanour, this book handled an extremely sensitive situation with as much grace and care as possible. There was no perfect ending, or perfect solution, but it was as good a resolution as could be achieved within the pages of this particular story.
I’m thankful it was addressed, and handled the way it was. I’m also thankful that all the parties involved got what was coming to them (so far).
Overall, I stated this book unsure if I would finish it. Asher McGowan intrigued me enough to keep going, and then the rest of the characters convinced me to see it through to the end. Faking Under the Mistletoe is a very fun winter read, even for those, like me, who are Grinches at heart.

THE LAST OF US 2023
Billions of puppets with poisoned minds permanently fixed on one unifying goal: to spread the infection to every last human alive by any means necessary. And there are no treatments for this. No preventatives, no cures. They don't exist. It's not even possible to make them.

Replaying Cassia's save and taking my time this time around so I've been talking to everyone pretty consistently. I just talked to Ash about her grandfather and everything makes sense now. Also, she's very much a close friend at this point so Virmire is going to be even more painful then it was the first time!
Cuz Cass is still going to choose Kaiden, but man if that guilt isn't going to eat at her. Especially after what goes down on Horizon.

The Mosley Review: The Last of Us (Season 1)
For as long as I can remember, the film adaptation of a video game has always been the bane of my existence. Every time Hollywood tries to bring to life an interactive and sometimes 40 - 80 hour experience that gaming gives to us the players, they have either lightly adapted what they thought was cool or completely ignored the source material. We end up with films like Double Dragon, 1993’s Super Mario Bros., all the Resident Evil films including the Netflix monstracity and then the most recent Mortal Kombat film. I have been waiting for someone to get it right and do the games we all love justice. I have started many reviews like this when it comes to video game adaptations, but this time its actually different. The gaming studio Naughty Dog has made 2 of the most compelling and cinematic franchises in gaming history that are both celebrated by critics and loved by fans. Uncharted started it all with its amazing storytelling that harkened back to the old school adventure serial films and Indiana Jones franchise. Its live action adaptation ignored the order the 4 games canonically came in and just adapted the 3rd and possibly the 4th game instead of the starting from the beginning! Don't get me started on the casting. The same was slated to happen with the next universally acclaimed, beloved and in my opinion, perfect survival story ever to created in gaming. The Last of Us was a massive milestone for the gaming industry in its groundbreaking mechanics, voice acting, performance capture and thematic morality tale that made you question the main character’s actions while living in such a harsh apocalyptic world. Once it was announced that it was to become a series, I breathed a sigh of relief because there was no way it could've been crushed into a 2 and half hour epic without missing the entire character growth and the relationship dynamic of the main characters. My hope was that if they can nail the first heartbreaking 15 minutes of the game, then you have my attention. I was over joyed that they nailed it, but also recoiled in fear of what they were going to change in the long run.
With any adaptation there’s going to be some changes from the source material that may work in the book or the video game that won't translate on to the big or small screen. Such is the case with this adaptation and for the most part this show recreated shot for shot and used dialogue straight from the game and I loved that. There were alot of scenes that were removed, added and reworked to fit the live action version and they all range from great to abysmally incorrect. I won't spend the rest of the review comparing all the scenes that don't match the game, but I WILL point out what was changed that irked me to the highest degree. So I will end up soiling an episode or 2 and many scenes from the show that miss represented the game. So this is your warning for light to mid spoilers for a game that is over 10 years old, but I will be fair to those that are just now discovering the story for the first time. From the minute the show starts the rules of the infection were rewritten and it fit and made for a more realistic approach if you will. I will say that the casting in this show was spot on in so many ways and the care that the cast took to bring these beloved characters to life was admirable, but don't be deceived. They have nailed aspects of the characters, but they are different from their digital counterparts. As an African American man, I'm all about diverse casting in entertainment, but what I hate is race swapping in stories just to check that box. We have enough representation in this story already with Marlene, Riley, Henry and Sam. The choice to change the race of Joel, Tommy, Maria and Sarah was unnecessary in my opinion and I wished they stayed true to the character designs. They may have the accents, the clothes and sometimes the same hair color, but they don't look like the characters I know and I love. That being said, this was a very talented cast and they all were brilliant in their performances as they carried us through this intense story.
Pedro Pascal has always been an amazing actor that can get into the soul of a character and carry such weight in his eyes. As the iconic character Joel, he nails the heart of the character in so many subtle ways. He captures his darker nature while delivering the emotional undertones in his words and eyes. The growth the character goes through I felt was a little too quick and their wasn't enough emotional resistance. Gabriel Luna was fun as his brother Tommy and I liked the moments they were together. What I didn't like is that the rift between them was almost completely removed from the source material and what we're given is a different reason for him to not help Joel that was relevant for this version, but irrelevant as whole. Nico Parker was excellent as Joel's daughter Sarah and she nailed the innocence of the character and represented that last sliver of humanity Joel had. I really enjoyed Anna Torv as Tess. She nailed the character's tough exterior and steadfast loyalty to Joel. Her and Joel clearly had a history together that made them not great people and loved seeing that fully realized, but I do wish they had kept her red hair. There is a particular part of her arc that ends dramatically differently from the game that was partly an improvement, but as a whole, they did her dirty in the end. It was awesome that they brought back the original actress that voiced Marlene in the game to the screen. Merle Dandridge delivered the same amount of excellence and complexity that she introduced in voice and now in live action. My only gripe is that toward the end, she was colder emotionally and than she was in the game. She has a hard decision to make, but it felt so factual instead of having remorse. Bella Ramsey did an excellent job bringing to life Ellie. She nailed the character's curiosities, childlike charm, toughness and above all, she showed the emotional toll that the world has on a youth. Through her interactions with real violence, she understood the depths of how savage and horrific humanity can be. Her chemistry with Joel was the saving grace of the show and I loved it as they grew closer together. Sometimes it felt forced, but it leveled out along the way. The iconic "Is this what people really cared about before?" scene from the game is word for word recreated and wonderfully acted by the both of them and it hit just as hard as it did back in 2013. Storm Reid was perfect as Ellie's bestfriend Riley and their episode together was one of the best and the most accurate adaptation of the “Left Behind“ DLC story from the game. Lamar Johnson and Keivonn Woodard were fantastic as Henry and his younger brother Sam. Their scenes really were heartwarming, but their story for the show was a bit convoluted in execution. Simplicity would've been key here.
Now comes the part where it could be split you the reader from me the reviewer and I respect your opinion if you disagree with me. I have no problem with the LGBTQ community and I don't care if a character is gay and you want to tell their story. What I do have a problem with is completely disregarding their incredible arc from the source material to shove a different story in your face. All adaptations have to make changes to fit the screen version, but this was radically different. Nick Offerman is a great comedic actor, but he is an outstanding dramatic actor. As Bill, he did exactly that and I loved him in the role, but I wish they had stuck with the original version of his story. He is gay and a survivalist in the game, but they made him kind of dumb in this adaptation. If people are at your fence shooting at you, you don’t stand still in the street and shoot back. You behind cover and pick them off! Murray Bartlett was excellent as his partner Frank and their chemistry was fantastic as their love story grew beautifully. My problem with this entire arc is that it doesn't serve the characters or the original story justice. Yes, you want to show that there is still hope for love and kindness in this depressing world, but that wasn't the point for Bill and Frank in the game. I’ve always believed that Bill and Joel are different sides of the same coin. Bill cutting himself off from caring for anyone by being a mean loner that caused Frank to hate and leave him and then get himself killed. Joel could've become that with Tess or even Ellie, but Ellie slowly brings back the caring nature of Joel. That incredible storytelling element was completely erased for an arc that didn't belong to those 2 characters. Another character that didn't belong or was horribly miss cast was Melanie Lynskey as Kathleen Coghlan. Melanie is an amazingly charismatic actress, but as a leader of a rebellious group of people that over took a government quarantine zone? Nah. I didn't by it one bit. Scott Shepherd was good as David, but I wish they didn't fluff out his story so much. There is a glaring error in logic when it comes to his arc and it made for a mixed bag of an episode for him. He nailed the charm and soothing nature of the character, but the blatant intentions of this version of the character rubbed me the wrong way. I’m pretty much tired of the “preacher” archetype in every apocalyptic series. Its always there, but sometimes you can just not have it. For us the fans of the games, we get to have the original cast of the video game return as easter eggs and they’re spread out within the show. Merle Dandridge I already revealed, but for you to find the original Joel (Troy Baker), Tommy (Jeffrey Pierce) and Ellie (Ashley Johnson) and 1 more hidden TLOU 2 actor, I won't spoil the fun in finding them. Just know that they all have an integral part, but 1 of them has the most heartbreaking.
The score of the show could not be done without the maestro of the game. It would've been a true disservice to the show without the haunting theme and music. Gustavo Santaolalla returns and delivers the beautiful score we love from the game and is accompanied by fellow composer David Fleming. The two of them made an excellent pair and delivered a variety of different and refreshing takes on the emotional core of scenes and the different compositions of the themes. The season finale featured a track titled "Vengeance" and it was truly the darkest and saddest track in the show. The creature and makeup effects were disgustingly spot on! From the infected to the full on clickers, they were even more terrifying in live action and harder to look at. The sound design of them was amplified in the best way. Visually the show nailed the look and feel of the game. It was a shot for shot recreation of the game and that was the chef's kiss. Aside from all the comparisons to the game, the drastic alterations to characters and switching of locations, I felt this series needed a 10th episode. There was a serious amount of rushing toward the latter half of the show and especially in the finale. Early on there is a plot point that is introduced with Ellie and water that is a massive detail in the game and its in the show, but doesn't get paid off. They completely ignore this massive moment that was the catalyst that led to the intense final 20 minutes of the finale. If there was a 10th episode, I feel this show would've almost been a 1:1 creation through and through. In the end, was this a great adaptation of one of the greatest stories in gaming? No. I would say it was good. Even with the creator Neil Druckmann being completely hands on from the beginning, I feel that the show captured 80 percent of the game which is more than any other adaptation I've ever seen do. Its not the greatest adaptation of all time like most exclaimed from watching the premiere, but it is a perfect example of what needs to happen to video game adaptations from now on. Make them a series, but respect and stick to the source material like white on rice and don't deviate so much. Let me know what you thought of the series or my review/essay in the comments below. Thanks for reading!

because i am pathetic as a human person,
i re-downloaded all 120 gb of Mass Effect Legendary Edition to scratch the remaining bioware itch after finishing veilguard and started replaying yesterday
And I've never played the original Mass Effect so idk how much they remastered it for the LE but it seems so unreal that ME1 was released 2 years before DAO like, it feels SO much more modern. Maybe it is the scifi look, maybe it is because it can actually run without crashing every 5 minutes, but honestly if I didn't know I'd guess that DAO was release 5 years prior to ME1
#Mass Effect#playing as a male renshep this time#and realizing us gays have been spoiled by DA romance options#my Shepherd is the most traumatized sexually repressed person in the universe and i guess he will have to wait until game 3 to find love#poor guy he will be absolutely insane by then#maybe i'll flirt with ashley for a bit but honestly i can't wait to kill her like she suuuuucksssss so much#hate her racist ass

Still thinking about this and I stand by it; to be honest I don't know what Orym would have done, but I'm thinking about episode 31, and how Orym's insistence the party work together was understandable and in-character but also really cut the party off at the knees in terms of venting some frustrations at what ended up being one of the last natural points where they could do so. It's inconvenient that the party fell apart now, but there's been such an ongoing theme of everyone setting aside all their anger and frustration because so much was going on or because they mistakenly believed that was the key to party harmony, and Orym, understandably, is one of the party members most guilty not only of that for himself but of suggesting it, with good but misguided intentions, for others.
I also think gentleness would have neither helped Ashton in this situation, and arguably would have made them feel worse. It's a little awkward right now from a metagaming perspective, and I'm interested in seeing how Liam plays it next episode, but to continue the metaphor above I think the best thing Orym could have done for the party is step back and let the pot boil over for a while.
Wait also before I go to bed: I do actually think Orym not really being there kind of helped bring things to a boil; perhaps WAY too rapidly but I think some things that needed to be said got said specifically because there was no real mediator! I want to see what he says when he gets back, but you know, sometimes everyone needs to scream for a while!
#me: orym is the natural heir to caduceus actually you guys are just overly concerned with the aesthetic over the thematic#also though. idk if it's the same people but it's WILD to see the Orym has a Death Wish and only understands Military Brotherhood sentiment#juxtaposed with the oh but if orym were there it would have been softer and gentler...#feels like you can see the underlying ideological projection grid and pals. it's got REAL big holes in it.#cr spoilers#orym#also. i know i've made a post i can't find before but there's a great history of working in character absences really well#think taliesin being sick during yios; all the c1/2 ashley absences; travis having difficulty with being remote in 2x71#obviously the c2 iron shepherds arc
