Something TLOU HBO Does SO Well Is Show That Ellies Just A Kid. Even When Shes Fighting For Her Life

Something TLOU HBO does SO well is show that Ellie’s just a kid. Even when she’s fighting for her life or in situations no kid should ever be in, she’s still just a kid. A kid who’s trying to act like an adult, sure, but just a kid.

She pretends she’s tough because that’s how she’s survived, but you get these wonderful, occasionally heartbreaking moments of seeing just how young she is.

You see it when she’s laughing with Riley or fascinated by a car. You see it when she’s making stupid decisions that she doesn’t know any better than to make. You see it when she tries to help Sam and has no idea what to do, and when she’s lost and scared while Joel’s incapacitated. You see it when she breaks down in her father-figures arms after learning a new horrible thing about humanity, and in her curiosity and naivety and recklessness.

She’s a kid so out of her depth, with nothing but the weight of the world on her shoulders and the lessons she’s learned from living in a world where everyone’s doing awful things to survive. She tries so hard to pretend to be in control, but you see these glimmers of the kid that she is, and her good intentions and hope that the world tries and tries to take away from her.

Y’all know me way too well looool🤣

Yep, Scars is the sequel to Skin! It’s gonna be angsty as fuck and sad as fuck😭

Help, I tried to write something happy and the monster appeared😭

Update: He patted me on the shoulder and said it was good that I was getting out of my comfort zone

Here I am to statementize and question you.

My statement is: you have some very creative fics and you're fun to be in a discord server with.

My question is: would you ever do a super fluffy, no angst, it's a wonderful no Outbreak World, fic for Ellie and Joel?

Thank you so much for your question and statementization!

Statement: Awww thank you so much😭❤️

Question: Hmmm, I might actually! It would be really fun to step outside my comfort zone and write something not depressing lol

(Like three of these are only in the show, sorry to the gamers here without HBO)
