#i am not denying that he and tess had a relationship post-outbreak

[mattzerella-sticks]

I never asked you to feel the way I felt.

A quote from Tess that I’m going to use to base a queer!Joel reading onto HBO’s The Last of Us despite there only being 2 episodes out so far.

#joel miller #the last of us #tlou hbo #i am not denying that he and tess had a relationship post-outbreak #what I am saying is that maybe they were friends with benefits #they were partners and a little something more #but joel couldn't love her the way she wanted him to love her #and maybe that has to do with more of how his heart hardened up after his daughter died in his arms #but maybe there can be more than one reason #in an apocalypse does anyone really have time to care about labels anyhow? #also gonna keep my fingers crossed that they changed the bill and frank character outcomes from the video game #since they already changed tess's #anything's possible
