Hi, Have We Talked About The Lyrics From Take On Me And The Symbolism Of Them Before? And Do We Have

hi, have we talked about the lyrics from take on me and the symbolism of them before? and do we have the time to?

cause uh. Ellie singing "I'll be gone in a day or two... I'm odds and ends but I'll be stumbling away" to Dina on day 1, when she is so broken on day 2? ✨️symbolism✨️ at its finest. and then using the epilogue for "slowly learning that life is okay"? and using the whole endeavor for "it's no better to be safe than sorry" because she is safe in Jackson, but she would've regretted not going to Seattle for Joel.

Crunchy leaf season!! Local girl can’t stop stomping on every leaf she sees because she loves hearing the good crunch!!

also! since we've been talking about the game to show for season 2, how do we think they're gonna do the whole horde? there wasn't a bunch of infected in the first season, so would they even include the horde? or would they change it to something else? basically, how are they gonna have Abby meet Joel and Tommy?

What are your thoughts on them making Tommy and Maria parents in the show?

I wonder if it’ll affect the estrangement storyline at all, maybe Joel and Ellie will be forced to see each other more with this kid in their lives

I think I'm biased because I like the show better, but I really like the fact they made Tommy and Maria parents

I hope it changes some things tbh I don't think Tommy would make Ellie go back after Abby, since he has a kid. he wouldn't send his kid out, so he shouldn't send Ellie out. I hope this makes Joel and Tommy closer, too. I'm probably a bit delusional because of fics, but I hope Tommy having a kid helps Joel heal a little bit, cause he probably hasn't held a baby in 30+ years. and if he has a girl? that looks like Sarah? I hope there is some healing involved. I think it would change the estrangement, too. I imagine Ellie would babysit the kid and Joel would just stop by periodically, and maybe that's when Ellie realizes why Joel did what he did. there was no malice behind his actions; he was just trying to protect his kid. maybe (again, I am delulu) the estrangement is shortened because of this, too. there'd still be resentment and maybe some off days, but I think Ellie might forgive him a bit earlier

also we're continuing tlou2 today, so warning for ouchie revelations :)

thinking about how if Joel survived the golfing, he would've lost his hearing completely
