Tlou Fanart - Tumblr Posts
Who doesn’t love Ellie? Whoever says that they don’t is obviously lying.
I’m also trying out an art style and I think I like how it turned out!
I don’t know what it says about me that I need to self soothe, even in fiction, with dogs?? but here is Apollo. She’s a very good girl
the moon and the sun
Today I coo, today I caw I have a pistol party and I kill ‘em all… I think I might be scared
Of the man and the men with their hands inside And the women, oh, the women all they do is cry And I, well I lose my mind, I lose my mind
I lose my mind
- “little pistol” Mother Mother (this is an unfinished mess but I like it enough to post anyway!)
Ahhhh! So glad you're finally posting these, haha.
Everyone go check out @mote-of-star-dust's art - she has illustrated so many truly great scenes from so many wonderful TLoU fanfics! I am very fortunate and lucky that she chose to draw Benny & Joel, and it brings me so much joy every time I look at it (it may or may not be my phone lock screen).

#4 - Benny and Joel!
This one is based off a scene in Go Your Own Way by Nandorluna - this novel length adventure-love story is beautiful and moving and I love everything about Nandorluna's character Benny.
Waiting for Ellie cost them both precious minutes, pushing them behind schedule for the day's tasks. They set off for the stables together, Joel's rifle slung comfortably across his back, his spare now entrusted to Benny as a temporary loan, sparing her a dash back to her own house to arm herself. The first rays of the sun were just cresting the distant mountain ridges as their boots crunched across the gravel, casting a blush of warmth on their faces, a cool breeze, invigorating rather than biting, ruffling their hair. A small smile tugged at Joel's lips as he watched Benny pause in front of the butcher shop. There, defiant among the gravel and wooden steps, bloomed two tiny yellow flowers. With a quick bend she plucked them both, tucking one behind her ear and holding the other out to him. “Stick it in your beard,” she offered, and he wasn’t entirely sure if she was joking. He raised an eyebrow, feigning offense. Still, his fingers lingered on the flower, small and delicate in his hand, and when she wasn't looking he placed it carefully in the pocket of his denim overshirt.
Such a simple but memorable moment. I just adore this whole story and I'm excited to jump into Part 2!

Oh my god. 😭 This is so lovely, and extremely unexpected, I barely know what to say?! She looks so happy, and I adore that this was the moment you decided to capture.
Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️
“– something exciting about the afternoon where Ellie left a little earlier than usual, sunlight still spearing through the tall living room windows while Lindsey Buckingham crooned through the stereo speakers and Benny twirled through the motes of dust lazily, a glass of wine in one hand, her hair glittering in the light. She and Ellie had gone to the beach earlier in the day when he’d been occupied with fixing the balcony door, and she’d donned another donated dress for the occasion; a cascade of white with splashes of emerald leaves and blossoms, the skirt loose and flowing, and when she danced, a bittersweet thought struck Joel: that this was probably the closest he would ever get to seeing her in anything that even remotely resembled a wedding gown.”

Some OCs simply just reign superior, and I couldn’t get this moment with Benny’s new dress out of my head. I wanted to add her new Stevie shawl but I got overwhelmed by fabric lol
Anyways go read this masterpiece ❤️
This is everything to me.

I am absolutely dying over this piece of art that the wonderful @bumblepony surprised me with, commissioned from the amazingly talented @miranhas-art (who has made some of my favorite Pedro character art on Tumblr). Based on a scene from chapter 15 of As Long as You Follow:
Sometimes these evenings were a little different. Sometimes wine flowed a little more generously (for her) while familiar music played from Alexei’s CD player. He danced with her now whenever she asked him to, without protest, because he didn’t have it left in him to ever again deny her anything that he had the power to give. She was at her happiest when he twirled her slowly around the living room, and there was something nostalgic about these steps – something familiar that pulsed under his skin when she laughed as he lifted her arm and carefully spun her, something so free about how she always danced barefoot, her hair swaying back and forth against her back, something special about the way she always kissed him first, because even when he led their steps, she led everything else –
– something exciting about the afternoon where Ellie left a little earlier than usual, sunlight still spearing through the tall living room windows while Lindsey Buckingham crooned through the stereo speakers and Benny twirled through the motes of dust lazily, a glass of wine in one hand, her hair glittering in the light. She and Ellie had gone to the beach earlier in the day when he’d been occupied with fixing the balcony door, and she’d donned another donated dress for the occasion; a cascade of white with splashes of emerald leaves and blossoms, the skirt loose and flowing, and when she danced, a bittersweet thought struck Joel: that this was probably the closest he would ever get to seeing her in anything that even remotely resembled a wedding gown.
Sunburn kissed her shoulders with a rosy glow, a blush mirroring the flush on her cheeks, and when she beckoned for him to join her, curling two fingers in and out as she swayed, he did so with no hesitation, drawn to her like a moth to a flame – though he took her hand, first, spun her around slowly, and then wrapped her up against him from behind, all the better to trail his lips down her neck and over her shoulder, leaving fleeting white marks against her heated and red skin. And there was just something about this that felt different even when it was achingly familiar; there was a rawness to it, an uninhibited surrender in the way she tilted her head back with a longing sigh, finding rest against his shoulder, the way she tipped the wine to her lips and drank long sips, then held it up so he could do the same.
I put these two through so much - and I love that when the opportunity arises, people choose to show them in their better, happier moments. ♥️
I cannot, you are so talented. 😭
Shoutout to Bella and Pedro for once again being the goddamn cutest pals of all time ✨💕🩷
