my dash is always so dead. so pls like/reblog/comment whatever!! if you like tlou in any capacity and post about it :)
Can I justโ
LOOK AT THIS GUY!! LOOK AT HIM!!
I LOVE THIS ZOMBIE SO MUCH!!! Heโs likeโฆ gorgeous, in this scary way. The cordyceps growing out of him, the way he moves, itโs just amazing.
Not to mention the prosthetics, makeup and effects that went into this. Seriously I cannot express my love for this big guy.
Me:
I think a lot of people forget that Ellie and Dina in part 2 are only nineteen. Nineteen! Theyโre still teenagers whose brains arenโt fully formed, yet theyโre dealing with a crazy situation and going through hell, on top of that losing loved ones and an unexpected pregnancy while theyโre still freshmen in college!
It adds this whole other layer to the story, of these kids who grew up in the apocalypse falling deeper into the ways of the world they live in, and about breaking the cycle of violence and vengeance in the gameโs conclusion.
Season 1 of TLOU HBO did amazing at showing the fact thatโs Ellieโs still just a kid, way too young to be in this situation, and I bet (and hope) thatโs something they continue to focus on in Season 2.
you know what, joel was right when he said โplease, you dont understandโ to marlene and the rest, because they DONT. he travelled across the country with that girl and eventually started to care so much about her that he could not let her just die.
in the show, i love how they were foreshadowing his final decision all the time. he lost sarah then tess and then bill and frank, he will not lose ellie. the letter from bill when he said โand god help any motherfucker who stands in our wayโ - amazing writing craig mazin you will always be famous
I've always thought Joel's face after Sarah tells him she fixed his watch because she knows he wouldn't fix it himself was really interesting.
We see Sarah take care of Joel almost as much as he takes of her (Giving him Vitamin C, making breakfast, knowing general knowledge he doesn't, telling him his shirt is inside out, insisting he has some kind of birthday celebration). But her acknowledging that obviously hurts him a bit. Even before the apocalypse, he was a Dad clearly trying his best but not always able to do everything he wanted.
When he can't save Sarah it just confirms his absolute worst fears - that he will never be able to do enough and that it's his daughter who suffers.
Then he meets Ellie, begins to take on a parental role, and it feels like it's happening again. He can't always protect her. She has to figure a lot out on her own.
His conversation with Tommy about failing "her" is about Ellie but it goes all the way back to Sarah, of course.
Even when Ellie tells him she'll him follow him anywhere once they've seen if she's the cure, his face falls again.
Once again, one of his girls is taking on the responsibility. She's reassuring *him* that everything will be fine, that she still sees a future together even though she's the one that is going to have to make sacrifices and it should probably be the other way round.
It's also why he is so still and sure in the hospital. He knows how he can help his daughter this time, and he sure as hell isn't going to let that opportunity go by.
this is the plot of prospect btw
When I was playing through the first tlou game, I tried to shoot the doctor in the knee, could have saved so much trouble too, but he still died.
Then I realized that even if the doctor had survived, Abby and her friends would still come after Joel. From their perspective he ruined their only chance of having a cure, a normal life. Of course they would still want to kill him.
FUCKING SOBBING
My first edit ๐ Thought it would be fun to make a sad one first
#making silly faces is reserved only for his daughters
I'm rewatching the first episode of The Last of Us and I noticed something at the beginning, when Sara is at school. She catches a reflection off of what I think is a bracelet on one of the students wrists. You can see, that his hand is twitching. What I'm getting at is, I think he's infected and already turning, sitting right there, in the class room. We saw something similar when Tess has been infected. Shortly after being bitten, her hand started to shake
There is a whole sequence of times, where Joel, Tommy and Sarah avoid being infected by not eating food made with flour, like the pancake mix or the birthday cake that Joel forgot to buy, or the raisin cookies, because Sara doesn't like raisins. But that scene at school gave me chills for some reason...
he really put his whole pedrussy into that monologue
its me right nowย
joel noticing that ellie's been acting quiet and trying to make it up to her with chef boyardee and boggle and letting her read her "shitty puns" just to make her smile is easily the most dad thing he's ever done
the way ellie stabbed that zombie the same place she did the one in the cumberland farms basement.
the new tlou episode literally made me cycle through so many emotions. sadness at the end, anger at that bitch kathleen, happiness when she diedโฆ.
