How Long Have You Been A Fan Of The Last Of Us?

How long have you been a fan of the last of us?

since march 14th of 2023!

I forget things really easily when watching shows weekly, so I figured I'd wait until the day after they were all released. I was able to watch it all in one go, which made a little brain goblin move in (and definitely did not empty me because of all the emotions I went through in less than 24 hours). after watching the show a couple times, I went through and watched a game play of the first game and the dlc cause i wanted to see what they changed :) (and also the "oh, he ain't even hurt" scene that everyone was talking about) I wanted to go into the second season blind, like I did the first, but I saw too many spoilers for it and alas, I had to watch the second game (although I'm sure brain goblin would've had me watch me it at some point)

hi, Ellie doesn't Anna's jacket anymore

What are your thoughts about them replacing spores with the tendrils?

tbh I never realized the tendrils replaced the spores, anon

but that being said, I am a bit bummed there were no spores? it's not a hindrance to the show since I just realized after x amount of rewatches, but I think that could've added a nice layer to it, you know? like having to make sure everyone has gas masks? and shit, if one breaks? I do enjoy the tendrils, though! the horror of them all being connected??? I am SO glad that's not in the game

I wonder how they're gonna show that Ellie's immune to Dina? her mask broke, but masks aren't in the show. are they just gonna keep giving her bite marks??

I feel like Ellie did miss Joel once she started cutting him off. like, she's telling Dina that that lodge is the one on his and Tommy’s route, and the immediate fear when Jesse says no one relieved them? she still cares about him. she just. doesn't show it that much. although, it could also be because of the conversation before the happenings of the game. it's just AAAAAAAAA the fucking details, man

I do hope to see more of it in the show, though, because we didn't see a whole lot of it

they actually have two :D chefs kiss

and a poster!! how have I never noticed these before????

the long awaited giraffe plushes of the Last of Us post!

I am obsessed with the headcanon of Ellie, or Joel, finding one on a patrol and noticed there's a bunch in the games, so here are the screenshots :)

first, Sarah had a giraffe behind her door :(

then, there was a kid playing with one in the QZ, when you're going after Robert. (they actually hold the plush closer if you get too close)

with Sam and Henry, there are 2! the first one is in one of the bedrooms on a dresser. it's actually lined up with a bunch of other plushies! the second one is in the toy store, when Ellie grabs the toy robot that Henry made Sam put back :)

still with Sam and Henry, but specifcally with the sniper, there's another big boy! and a painting/drawing of one that I felt I had to include!

at the Lakeside Resort, there's a little arcade building (I think that's what it is? I always run through it as fast as I possibly can) and there's a little giraffe on the floor by the claw machine.

on the way to the hospital, there's a sign for giraffes! so honourary inclusion of that!

and of course, we have to include to the actual giraffe scene :) I have it to where they're wearing the fits from game 2 (I am doing just fine with this, too, just fine /sarc), but yes! here you go!

bonus inclusion for the dlc! since you can't play it together how it is in the show, it's under here :)

there is a very gross one mixed in with fungi? I don't know what the dead bodies of infected are called, but there's one there in the doll store

there's 4 in the arcade itself!

okay, that's the post! I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did hehe! I'm gonna try to make one for the second game, cause I know there's at least one giraffe plush in there, but I don't have the game, so it's gonna be tougher and will probably take longer and also might not include all of them :) will also be making a post with the two of them in game 2 fits cause this has been hitting Hard, don't know when that'll be posted, but yes :)

extra extra bonus! my giraffe plush :)

I've had this little guy for years

AAAAAA there is more devastation to episode 3 :(((((

someone found the letter Bill and Frank wrote (I do not know if it's actually the one, but we're gonna act like it is)

the last line????????? Bill was saying that Joel and Tess could do what he and Frank did, if it ever came to it. it'd be on their own terms, but they didn't get that! they couldn't get that! I am so freaking distraught
