Ouchie Revelation - Tumblr Posts

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!

Hiya

I was reading through some of your asks and I saw one person say it was out-of-character for Ellie to move into the garage, and I just want to give my 2 cents on why I personally disagree.

I think a lot of people tend to forget that Ellie has only known the FEDRA schools. Shes exclusively lived in dorms and had to be independent her whole life. So she’s never had a family or any domestic life. So it would pry be weird for her to move in with Joel and be a family unit like that. She doesn’t know what that is.

I would of loved if they did live together and been a father/daughter duo but i understand why that didn’t happen

hi!

I agree! I sometimes forget that she's only known fedra schools her whole life, too. it does make sense for her to move out so quickly now, even if it's not what we want :( I would have loved for them to stay together, but yeah, it makes sense why we didn't get it. I do wonder, though, if they're gonna change it for the show. since they have made joel and ellie different than in the game. I think she should still have the garage! I just wonder if they'll do it differently. but yes, I agree with you! it isn't too out of character for her to move out when she's known independency her whole life

AAAAAAA YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THEY WEREN'T CLOSE HERE EITHER?????

I am distraught.

It’s in Joel’s house?? 😭 he pry kept it because it’s the closest thing he’d ever get to a family photo

it is! it's by the corner with all his liquor 😭 (I really need to rewatch the second game, so I can't give you specifics, but it should be in the kitchen)

ANON WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT? 😭😭😭 I have no words D:

more devastating news, since you're out to get me (/lh), is that he had that picture of him and Sarah on a table (or the mantel? do not emember) and there was a picture of him with Ellie and a horse next to it :( oh, and the picture with Sarah had a candle that was a bit melted. meaning he lit a candle for her, maybe frequently (and no one's there to light it anymore)

also be prepared for more ouchie revelations, just as a precaution :) every time I rewatch it, there are more things that exist just to pain me

wait! is it giraffe time? I shall try to find giraffes! we shall see how well I do, though, cause I do plan to take a little nap. I watched a no commentary playthrough for it the very time I watched it, and somehow fell asleep during a fight scene? so I didn't miss anything important, but man was I confused. I am just a sleepy little guy

part 2 game play time :D

we already have one 🤭

I do believe the beginning is Joel confiding in Tommy about Ellie already drifting? it could be just him telling Tommy what happened, but I think there's more to it. he has the guitar and he's cleaning it a little bit and then he gets back to Jackson, and Ellie's already moved out. she's already in the garage, so that had to have been right off the bat. this also means that the whole time she's being taught how to play, she's not even in the main house 😭 which gives her more time and chances to ignore him and resent him. and also gives her more time to think about what him saving her really means D: I'm normal

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

thinking about Joel putting his hand on Sarah's knee when they're in the truck :(

do we think the reason Joel always acts like he isn't hurt is because the last time he did, he didn't realize Sarah was? and that it took time away from her?

you know, even in the beginning, Ellie told Joel he could make stuff up. in episode 3, before it cuts to Bill and Frank, Joel said that they should cut through the woods because there was some stuff he didn't want Ellie to see. she responded with "you're too honest, man. you should've said axe murderer," so with the addition of "you could've made something up, I would've believed you" about the dam? Joel was really just doing what she told him to when he lied about what happened at the hospital :(

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

The show expanding on Bill, Frank, Tess, and Joel’s story was so heartbreaking. Within 24 hours Joel looses his partner and then finds out his only 2 friends are dead

LITERALLY!

I remember watching it with my mom and when Joel went out to the front yard with the letter, she just sniffled a little and said that now he has no one. and I think I did put that together, but hearing the agony in my mom's voice? shit broke me more than the realization did, I think. but also that was so close together, too??? like, Tess died, they walked for maybe a day or two (I think??) and then he finds out that Bill and Frank are also dead, and have been for a while? he didn't have the time to properly grieve Tess and now he has to grieve his only two friends? I don't know how he kept going after that

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

hi, Ellie doesn't Anna's jacket anymore

So I have a theory about the Nora scene

You know how Ellie didn’t get any of her stuff back in the finale? Well in her bag didn’t she have a picture of her and Riley? So maybe the fireflies went through her stuff (before they disbanded) and maybe some of them (Nora) end up recognizing her from the photo? Idk tho

I just feel like them having a picture of the only immune girl will comeback to haunt Ellie

Or like you said- maybe Ellie gets bit with Dina and then Nora notices the bite and realizes she’s not turning

I agree, I really hope she isn’t covered in bite marks by the end. Doesn’t she also get bit in the game near the end too?

she does have a picture of Riley in her bag! and she did lose it! (this is not exciting, I just love me some theories)

I imagine they did go through her stuff cause that just seems like something they'd do. and maybe Nora does recognize Ellie from that, and then helps Abby to go after her. I know she doesn't go after Ellie, but they could ask around and find out that Ellie very clearly means something to Joel, so if she kidnaps or goes after her, Joel will come and then the golfing will happen. could also help with the theater part - Abby would already know who Ellie is, while Ellie only knows Abby as the girl who killed Joel. mmmm or if Nora and Abby meet after the fireflies disbanded, and Abby confides in her about what happened in that hospital and Nora shows her the picture. anon, this is such a good fucking theory. it will bite Ellie in the ass, I can already feel it

and yeah, that could be it, too! Ellie gets bit with Dina and Nora sees it and that's how she knows. I was worried/thinking they'd give her another bite within the same 24 hours, but this makes more sense. we know from episode 2 that it'd still be a bit inflamed cause it's healing, so maybe Nora sees it and knows that she should be turning, but she isn’t. I am wondering how Nora will go out, though? cause she breathed spores and they don't have spores in the show, so do they wait for Nora to start turning? cause she was pretty close to it, I imagine, when Ellie caught up to her

and yeah, Ellie did get bit near the end! it's when she's going after Abby in Santa Barbara, she ends up getting bit on her left hand, coincidentally. so if they give her a bite for every single time she's supposed to breathe the spores and then also when she's supposed to be bitten, girl's gonna have at least 5?? and if they do the chemicaling and the tattooing the same, is she gonna burn all of them?? cause that just seems like a lot? and ouchie, man

but also, how the hell did she know Abby was at the aquarium??? everyone's saying Nora probably told her, but we saw that whole interaction, and it was never mentioned? she beat the shit out of Nora, there's no way Nora was telling her anything. and I don't imagine she would've asked anyone else because 1, there were too many and they all wanted her dead and 2, she was basically in the basement (I think? haven't finished the rewatch yet) or the parking garage, so I'm sure she found an exit that way. she could've overheard someone talking about it, but she seemed pretty shaken up when she got back to Dina and Jesse, so I doubt she was in the right headspace to eavesdrop

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

He would’ve been deaf and lost his leg😭

yeah 😭

he wouldn't be able to do construction anymore 😭 he'd get to take the full role of grandpa, though. just sitting on that porch and doing woodworking 😭 he wouldn't be able to hear the guitar 😭😭😭😭

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

once again thinking about how Abby, Joel, and Tommy stopped in the same place as the strings flashback :(

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?
