Which If She Ever Finds Out About? - Tumblr Posts

Yes!! They foreshadowed his lie about the hospital!

I think it’s to help setup the estrangement- they’re showing how he was always honest and how much she trusted him. Then he took advantage of her trust and lied to her about the thing she cared about the most

yeah! I just never realized that part? I thought it was just when Ellie told him he could've made something up with how the dam worked :)

oh, I can for sure see that! I wouldn't say he only took advantage of her trust, though. I mean, he did, but that wasn't all? as said, they were foreshadowing the lie by her telling him he could make stuff up or even lie to her. so that's what he did. mmmmm, it is mostly him taking advantage of her trust, though. I do not know how to properly articulate this, anon, but it was her trust, along with him finally doing what she's been telling him to do, I feel. they always say third time's the charm. so the first three things he tries to come up with, she tells him he could've lied. so the one thing he could've tried to explain and something that she needed to know the truth on, he takes her up on lying. maybe he just didn't know how to tell her at the time? and then it was just easier to keep it going, which I am sincerely hoping they change for the show cause AAAA no thank you

and yeah! the other things she told him he could lie about didn't really mean a lot to her? like, she grew up in the qz, she's probably seen some shit, so the mass grave? probably didn't affect her that much? like, it did, but not as much as he was probably expecting it to. for the siphon, him making up how it works? that wouldn't affect her at all. like, yeah, she asked, but he didn't necessarily need to lie about it. he could've told her right off the bat that he didn't know how it worked, but she called him out the last time for not making something up. and the dam? he did tell her right off the bat that he didn't know, and then she told him he could just make stuff up. so now, she's caught him three times on lying and not knowing how stuff works, so he might just think it's easier to lie, because she keeps catching him in them. (or he likes doing things in patterns.) but from the past attempts, he should know she'd catch him? and this is a big enough thing that she didn't call him out on it, but she knew immediately that he was lying. like she did all the other times
