Another One Has Come To Mind! I Would Love For Them To Show Us Joel Teaching Ellie How To Play The Guitar!

another one has come to mind! I would love for them to show us joel teaching ellie how to play the guitar! I think that would be so sweet and so cool

Are there any moments not in the game you’re hoping they add in the forthcoming seasons? I really hope we get more info on her chemical burn!! They barley mention it in the game. I want to know how she even came up with that

there are! again, trying not to hold my breath so as to not be disappointed if they don't include them, but yes!

I would also love to see more on the chemical burn and the tattoo!! what was the thought process? well, we can assume the thought process, but what made her go for chemicals? did cat help her design the tattoo? what was joel's reaction? would love to see more there

would also love to see what happened in the theater after abby and lev left. like, everyone was down for the count, but then they're all relatively fine in the epilogue. (fine as in they're alive, minus jesse. I miss jesse) like, was dina the one to get everyone wrangled up and then saw jesse? or was it ellie, and she did it all with a broken arm? did she move jesse or make a makeshift sled, like she did for joel in the dlc? we know it wasn't tommy, but no one was in a good condition to take care of the others, if that makes sense. so I would love to see what happened afterwards

also the aftermath of the golfing. there's so much concept art, and I can't explain it, but I do kind of want to see that? it's gonna fucking destroy us, but idk it could also help a little bit? instead of jumping to him already being buried, but I think it would be fine if they didn't include any and did it how they did in the game

cat! I want to see cat! what was she like? did joel ever pick up that they were together? I just want to see her. maybe in the slow fall of her and ellie and then them together or in the giving of the tattoo. I just want to meet her haha

also did ellie ever come out to joel? or was that final scene him saying he knew?

part of me also wants to see more of pregnant dina? like, did it get any better once they got back to jackson? or did it get worse because of the amount of loss? how quickly did she and ellie move out of jackson completely? did she do it all while pregnant, and if she did, was she that far along? or was it pretty quickly after getting back to jackson that the two of them moved out? wait. they might've because of the amount of loss. the community still would've been mourning joel, and then to add jesse? a child? (I know he wasn't a child, but also, technically, he was. especially compared to joel) and did ellie get the wrath of maria because of the state of tommy? or was she understanding and that just added to her grief? this one's long, sorry, there's just so many possibilities

I kinda also want there to be more explanation of ellie and joel's estrangement, if they keep it in. I imagine they would, so I'd love to see how it affected ellie. cause they didn't show that in the game at all

I'd also just love to see more domestic jackson living. if you're keeping the golfing, give us more happy memories. please. make up for it

I'm not sure if there's any for abby? I thought there was at least one, but I can't remember it currently. mmm maybe was she in the hospital when the shooting happened? people pointed out there was someone running around who had a pretty long braid in that final episode. was it her? there was also an extra nurse that people thought was her. so I guess just was she at the hospital or was she out when All That happened?

I'm sure there's more, but this is all I can think of currently! I might reblog this if more come to mind :) thank you for asking, anon!

I sent in the original ask about your thoughts on the estrangement and wow!! I never expected to see this much conversation about it!! This is so cool! I love seeing everyone’s different perspectives!! Thank you for answering!

famous anon haha!

I also did not expect there to be this much conversation about it! I love seeing everyone's different takes on it :) thank you for asking!

and thank you to everyone who's been asking me stuff! I love analyzing this silly little franchise >:] feel free to ask me more!

Whattttt??? Is that picture from after she cuts him off??

it has to be :( it's in Joel's house, but it has to have been after she cut him off, cause he looks so sad sitting so far from his kid :(

been thinking about the barbie movie and there is something innately beautiful about being allive. I get to feel all these things and I get to tell my friends I love them and I get to do cute things for them because they deserve it and I'm so beautiful and you're so beautiful and there's nothing wrong with aging. growing up stings because you'll never get to go back to it, but it's also bittersweet because you're alive. you get to grow up. even when you didn't think you ever would. even when you always wanted to be an adult, but now you would wish for nothing more than to be a kid again. idk there's just something beautiful about being alive

since there's been a lot of asks recently (thank you btw! I've been having a BLAST analyzing with you all), I've made a tag for them! all asks are now tagged as "menace answers" if you don't want to read all of that :)

When Ashley Johnson was first asked about Ellie's 'okay' at the end of the game 10 years ago she said "it means okay I know you are lying but I trust you and love you enough that I chose to go to Jackson with you and have a future together"

This past year she changed her statement and said “It means okay that's it I know you are lying and I can't trust you anymore and we are done.”

The interview seemed like she was speaking about both game Ellie and show Ellie. She may of been leaning more towards the game since that’s who she played.

Overall it seems she just changed it based on how the second game ended up going. But it sucks to see how she was originally under the impression that they would be ok and get to have a father/daughter relationship in Jackson.

woah! I have not seen that, thank you, anon <3

I have seen the latter interview, though, and can agree with you that it felt more like she was talking about both ellies! but yeah, she might've been leaning more towards game ellie since that is who she played. we can only hope she was, I guess. that's so odd to me, though. I agree with you; it sucks to see that she thought they'd be okay, but knowing they're not has changed her stance on that ending scene :(
