Crying Now - Tumblr Posts
This is so disappointing. Even in the limbo of the past few months, I was able find joy in picturing potential storylines for season two. Now, even with the amazing fics on AO3, the show feels inert in a way. We'll never get canon painland or palasaki. We'll never get to learn what an agency with the Night Nurse could be like. Niko's last appearance will be her trapped in a strange world.
This is the first fandom I've really gotten into after a long time feeling too scared, nervous, or tired to enjoy something.
I think I'm heartbroken
I’m so upset rn, and making memes is better than crying
Supernatural 4x20 The Rapture
this has probably been pointed out before, but I'm on my (number I won't disclose) rewatch of the last of us and realized something.
Bill and Frank are so similar to Joel and Ellie. obviously not the whole relationship, but the way that grumpy old man who doesn't want to deal with other people gets forced to deal with a happy and bubbly person. so much that it changes them. like Bill wanted nothing to do with Frank at the beginning. but he kept him around for a little bit and Frank's sass and sarcasm and optimism (in this world?) won him over. it got to the point they did everything together. and when Frank said "today's my last day," Bill was so worried because that's his man. what does he mean?? but then Bill decided if Frank's going, he is too. because there's no life without Frank. the world has no meaning. there's no point to living if Frank's gone.
same with Joel and Ellie. Joel wanted nothing to do with her at the beginning. there's no way he's gonna smuggle a child. but there was something in it for him, so he did. and they grew together. because Ellie's sass and sarcasm and optimism grew on him - and maybe it's because she reminded him of Sarah. but they did everything together and they crossed a country with each other, so of course they're gonna get close at some point. so when Joel finds out what they plan to do to Ellie at that hospital, something turned in him. cause they're gonna kill her and there's no point to living if he looses her. if he looses another daughter. you can't tell me he wouldn't have actually hit the mark this time if they did kill Ellie. he already lost one daughter and tried to kill himself. if he lost a second? he wouldn't have missed again. because there's no point. he was meant to protect Ellie and he almost failed her again.
they're protectors. they're meant to protect. so when the one person they want to protect the most is in a life or death situation, they're going to extremes. whether that be dying alongside him or murdering an entire hospital to protect her. because that's their world. Frank and Ellie are Bill and Joel's entire worlds. there's no life without them.
I dropped my ramen :(
