last song: Vienna by Billy Joel

favorite color(s): Red. Any type of red. I’ve yet to find a shade of red I don’t adore…

currently reading: The Reappearance of Rachel Price by Holly Jackson, which is pretty good!!

currently watching: House of the Dragon and Hacks, so I’ve got a good lineup!

last movie: Alex Garland’s ‘Civil War’. I saw it in theaters and I’m rewatching now that it’s on Max. The visuals and sound design of that movie are absolutely spectacular (should I make a cinematography post for that movie?)

sweet, spicy or savory: Yes.

current obsession: My fanfic—I’ve been working on it a ton—and also Phoebe Bridgers. I listened to I Know the End because it was at the end of a movie and now I can’t stop because OH MY GOD—

tea or coffee: ooooh, I like both, but I guess I’ll go with tea?

last thing I googled: Alex Edelman (he won an Emmy so I wanted to find out who he was)

no pressure tags: @renegadeknight @adhdprincess @lauronk @mildredellie @wordspinning @boopernatural @becomethesun @march-flowerr @two-birds-alone-together and anyone else who wants to play!

Gorgeous!! I cannot wait for Bella to absolutely CHEW the scenery in s2!!

Something that makes violence in TLOU HBO so effective is that there aren’t “fight scenes”. Obviously there are action sequences, but not in the traditional sense. Violence in TLOU HBO is only used to drive thematic or character elements, which is really unique and thoughtful for a large-scale production like that.

TLOU HBO doesn’t revel in violence. It doesn’t try to be cool or flashy, it shows how devastating violence really is. Most of the time character deaths don’t even count as action sequences, which makes them so much more character-driven and effective.

The few scenes that count as full on action sequences aren’t “fights”, either. When we watch the hospital scene or the Infected in KC, we’re watching massacres.

It gives the violence in the show a brutal finality. It opens a pit in your gut in a way that copious amounts of gore can’t. By not focusing on flashy choreography or impressing the audience, it strips down action to its barest form. It gives it a disturbing level of realism, and really focuses on the characters in the situation.

can't wait for abel code next ch. it's been on my mind since the last one came out !!

Tysm!! I’m always shocked that people actually like my fics😅

It’ll come out after Scars c2, but hopefully it won’t be too long!

Ellie’s face in this scene breaks my heart. You can see in her eyes that she knows. She isn’t crying or yelling, but just with this look you can see it so clearly. She’s hurt, she’s betrayed, she wants to cry but she can’t. She’s knows. She doesn’t want to, but she does.

It’s such a feat of acting, the fact that you can look in Ellie’s eyes and see everything she’s thinking. You can tell she knows, even though she denies it. But it’s so… real. It hurts! There’s no exaggerated look back at the camera or snarl, but somehow the look in Ellie’s eyes express even more.
