Tlou Fandom - Tumblr Posts
Benny & Joel
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 heard from someone that you got sexualized. Are you okay?
it was fucken ages ago, i’m fine now. its just crazy to me that people would sexualise a minor, especially when I made it obvious i wasn’t in a good mindest?? But yeah, gotta love tlou fandom- anyone want some
noodles?
my magnum opus and ofc its Sal
The last of us is one of the best and the worst thing ever that happened to me. I can't stop thinking about it. The story, the characters, the zombies, the setting, the music, everything is just perfect. The game mechanics and the show adaptation is on point. I want more of it.
TLOU will stay with me forever. I just want to keep talking about it, keep reading about it, keep listening about it. There's a lot I want to say about it. I just can't seem to express it all.
Feel free to fangirl/boy all over it. I'll read every comment.
Favorite parts from the game and the show TLOU:
1. The opening of the show where they show the scientists' concern, instilling fear in us.
2. Sarah and joel's relationship in game and show. I've never bonded to a character in such short time. Her death affected me very much.
3. In the show, when ellie runs to save sam and joel shoots all the zombies coming for ellie, this scene made me feel something. Maybe i felt that they were officially a team then.
4. In the show, when joel was injured and ellie tried to save him, joel asked her to leave and ellie's "Joel shut the fuck up" was so good.
5. Ellie hugging joel after being harassed by david. The trust she had in him.
6. Ellie and joel's conversation before reaching the fireflies.
7. Ellie and giraffe. No explanation reqd.
8. Ellie and riley. No explanation reqd again.
