I Wonder About How Joel Will Be During The Scene Where He Saves Abby.

I wonder about how Joel will be during the scene where he saves abby.

He’ll be like 60 in the show at the time? Would he even still be out on patrol at that point? I know he can take care of himself, but after that convo with Tommy where he admitted he couldn’t fight the way he used to, it makes me wonder if it’ll be emphasized how old and weak he is

I feel like this ask kinda adds to the last one :) but I agree! I wonder how they're gonna cover that. again, I feel they need to include that cause if they take it out, it'll change the story a bit. not a detrimental amount, but it'll still change it

he will! I find it so interesting that they made him older in the show. why did they do it? ooo I wonder, too! I want to say he would be, but honestly? would he? or would he just be in Jackson whittling away on his wood projects? helping around with construction? there wouldn't fully be a point to him being on patrol, other than to help more and get out of the walls (and to make sure Ellie's doing okay on her patrols, but that'd raise a flag for her). but because of that conversation with Tommy about how he doesn't fight the way he used to and how he keeps failing her, I don't think he would go on patrol. at least not major ones? don't know how the patrolling system works, so I am using fic knowledge. but if there's a patrol that's only a few hours, I can see him doing that, but the over nights? or the long ones going to other towns? I don't think he'd do them. they kinda made it a point for Joel to complain about his old body, too, so I can see them continuing that

and they help you with new projects. and get a say in your new hyperfixation. and get excited when you see something they used to love. they make sure you're never alone

Ohhhhhj so the childhood self doesn't disappear forever they come back as a ghost when you are struggling to break into adulthood and sit with you during your lunch break so you're not alone. Alright

every time i start to feel cringe for being too deep in the hyperfixation i remember the intense depression i have waded through and have to remind myself that enjoyment is fleeting (so grab it with both hands), and life is for loving (so hold that love close), and if anyone thinks i’m cringe they must not be having a very good time (and i hope they can find a good time soon).

wait oh my god

what if Ellie stops liking space because of the golfing 😭😭😭 she stopped liking Halloween because of what happened with Riley, so it could be a very real possibility 😭
