Again E.W

Word count:1.8k

Tw: gore, blood, death (you) angst not happy ending, maybe oc Ellie idk

Context: Has some of the plot points of Tlou 2 with the Dina-Ellie stuff, Joel is fine I promise. When you first got to Jackson it was a year after Ellie, you're a year older than her. requested as male reader (platonic) but is gender neutral (I think)

You found yourself racing through Jackson as fast as you could, nearly sliding and falling as you swung around the corner, hearing the laughter of some of the other residents of the town behind you as you once again raced to get to the stables on time for patrols. You had a habit for sleeping in, despite the numerous alarm clocks Tommy had found and fixed for you, and you were sure if you were late again Ellie, your best friend, would beat your ass for setting you all back. Though you know she only cared because it meant she would have less time to hang out with Dina. Which really meant she had less time to make super awkward conversations and blush a lot. Gross.

You came to a sloppy stop right outside the stables and calmly waltzed in like you weren’t two seconds away from being late. Sliding the huge wooden stable doors open, you glance around to look for Ellie, which didn’t take long because almost as soon as you entered you heard her shout, “About time you showed up!” from a stall to your left.

Wandering over you slip into the stall next to hers to get your own horse, Spirit, ready and call back, “Hey I’m on time today!” She didn’t say anything back but you could practically hear her eye roll. The both of you saddled up your horses and took them outside to the gates where you were let out.

For the first half an hour you both rode in silence looking around and trying to wake up a bit more and after 10 minutes of Ellie slowly driving you crazy by glancing over at you like she did something wrong and opening her mouth before snapping it closed like she was gonna tell you something, you snapped. “What did you do?”

“What?”

“You're being weird, what did you do? Did you finally punch Seth in the face?” You’ll admit the last bit was more of a hope than an actual guess, if she had punched him you most definitely would have heard about it by now.

“What? Ugh no I wish,” Ellie rolled her eyes and huffed while her face got all flush and she fiddled with her reins, “I kinda…” She held you in suspense for longer than you would have wanted. “IkissedDina.”

She said it so fast you almost didn’t hear her. After almost a full minute you finally processed it. “Oh shit! Ellie! THat’s-”

She cut you off “I know I know her and Jesse just broke up, again, but it was more like she kissed me plus I already told Jesse and he was chill about it.” Ellie moaned and groaned into her hands, face as flush as a tomato. You couldn’t help but laugh at her which only made her glare at you.

Smiling, you told her, “I don't care about any of the Dina-Jesse shit and neither do they Dina’s her own woman and I’ve been telling you she likes you for almost a year now.” As you reassured her you rode up beside her and pushed her arm lightly(-ish) “Pluuuus not I can say I told you so.” That only made her roll her eyes and scoff, but you could tell she relaxed now having a small smirk and a dusting of blush. Watching her for a few more seconds with a smile you screwed up your face and said, “Ugh gross.”

Now it was her turn to look at you confused, “What?”

“Nothing, just your face, it's grossing me out with all your cute lovey shit.” You teased.

“Fuck off, you’re just sad that not one would date you.” She shot back.

“A lot of people say I’m very handsome actually.” You informed her leaning closer to her with a look of superiority on your face.

“They’re lying to you.” She mumbled plainly. You gasped, putting a hand over your heart and fake cried while she rolled her eyes. The both of you laughed and bantered some more until you got closer to the rundown, abandoned town you had to cut through to make sure the infected population wasn’t getting too big.

___________________________________________________

As Ellie and you entered it you both quieted down and pulled out your weapons. For your years of friendship the both of you moved in sync as you guys made your way through town occasionally taking out infected as you went.

You were about a block away from the check in spot when you rounded a corner and saw a herd of infected milling around. When they heard the clop of your horse’s shoes they whipped around and bolted towards you two. “Oh shit,” Ellie and you whispered, still trying to be quiet despite the fact that you had already been spotted. As quickly as you could you turned your horses around and galloped in the opposite direction hoping to circle back around.

Rounding another dreaded corner you, in the lead, ran into a runner immediately attacking your horse biting into Spirt’s side making him whiny and buck you off. When your back and head hit the ground you wheezed the wind knocked out of you clawing at your chest and patting around for your weapon. You could faintly hear Ellie shouting and maybe some gunshot, but the ringing in your ears was too loud for anything to sound coherent.

Thinking your heard Ellie say something you turn your head to the left, immediately you knew that was wrong, You couldn’t hear great because of the ringing and muffled sounds you knew Ellie was at your right shooting at the quickly approaching infected, seeing what really was on your left you saw the runner right by your side reaching out for you. You let out a weird, strange cry weakly crawling away, but the runner was of course too fast and Ellie who wielded around when she heard your cry was too slow.

The runner jumped at you and you put your arms up to block it and push it away, but you were too late, the runner sunk its teeth into your flesh creating a searing pain that cut through the already fading muffled feeling. It pulled its mouth away from you taking with it a large chunk of your flesh. You screamed in pain just as Ellie put a bullet through the runners head taking a millisecond to sling the gun over her shoulder.

Hooking her arms under your she practically held you up. Because you couldn’t help the tears spilling down your face from the pain and the knowledge that you would soon die at the hands of your best friend because you also knew that she wouldn’t leave you to turn or make you do it on your own She practically dragged you to a safe building only a few feet away, an old hardware store, setting you down in a corner and barricading the door.

“O- okay we need to stop the bleeding first.” Ellie mumbled taking off her bag to get out her medical supplies, she turned away from you slightly as she looked for it but that did nothing to hide the glassy look forming in her eyes. You only shook your head at her as she pressed gauze onto the gushing wound, the crisp white immediately turning a deep red.

“Ellie…”

“Be quiet, you need to rest,” She told you harshly, wiping her now teary cheeks with the back of your hand, catering more cloth, pushing harder making you groan and squirm away.

“Ellie.” You repeated this time more forcefully, grabbing her wrist with your bloody hands, how did they get that way? “There's nothing you can do to stop this, you know that.” Her lower lip wobbled and her shoulders shook as she shook her head no. “Promise me Ellie-”

“No! You're gonna be fine.” She commanded, she looked like she was going to say more, but stopped when she saw your face. Pleading her to listen.

“Please I can’t end up like them…” You whispered, shivering the heat leaving your body.

“I don’t know if I can do it again.” Ellie cried no longer trying to stop the tears that spilled down her face.

“I know,” You told her because you did, she told you herself, “I’m sorry.” There was a long pause where neither of you said a word just sob already mourning each other though for different reasons. It made youlong for simpler times…

When you first got to Jackson you were scared you were only 16 and had lost your traveling partner, though the relationship went far beyond that, a few months ago. A man named Tommy had found you and brought you back telling you about the great community they had. While you definitely didn’t believe him, you were confident enough in your ability to get out of shitsituations.

You had only been there a few days when Tommy had taken you to the community eating hall to get to know more people in the community when you saw a girl with auburn hair who was probably about a year younger than you shoveling beef jerky in her pocket. You had rather loudly pointed it out to Tommy and before he could say anything about it the girls told you too, “Mind your own fuckin business.” and was promptly smacked in the back of the head by an older guy you would come to know as Joel.

“Ow, that hurt!”

Ignoring her Joel said, “Manners Ellie.” She rolled her eyes and grumbled, but later turned up at Tommy's house, where you were staying, to offer an apology which you accepted, eventually.

After that you saw each other many more times at community get-togethers, Tommy or Joel's house, begging whoever was incharge to let you go on patrols even if you were ‘too young’. When you really became friends was when you both ended up hiding from a social gathering in the same place and found out you both loved Savage Starlight.

After that night you were both inseparable, joined at the hip. Hanging out at each other's houses, goin on patrol when you were old enough, when you had breakdowns or cried over those you had lost, you even comforted her when she found out how Joel had lied to her and encouraged her to forgive him and rebuild their relationship.

She was your closest friend and you were hers. Nothing could separate you…

“I promise…” Her voice cracked at the end.

You smiled, the pain was going numb and you felt like you were in Alaska, “Thank you Els. I’m glad it’s you…”

You closed your eyes.

A gun was cocked.

“I love you.” Ellie whispered.

“I love you too.” You replied.

You take a deep breath.

There was a loud bang.

You were gone and Ellie had lost her best friend all over again.

yall wanna cry today? too bad you're all crying today.

you know what they could do for s5? after the timeskip, they use steve to show that the upside down in back. how? they vecna him. and then we have to watch as everyone has to go through the upside down without steve. they have to fight without steve and without the safety that he gave to them. and dustin has to go straight into battle for it. he doesnt get to grieve steve like he did eddie. he just has to bottle it up and fight. which is exactly what steve did and exactly why he died. robin doesnt get off much better. she has to go straight back to fighting again, just like the rest and she doesnt get to grieve her loss. the loss of her best friend. the loss of her platonic soulmate. she doesnt get to stop and feel. she has to stand up and keep fighting. And in that moment, and that moment alone, she feels a modicum of what steve felt every time they went through this before. and she knows she has to keep fighting.

and steve, looking on from beyond the veil, just has to watch as no one even blinks at his death. and he thinks maybe he wasnt worth as much as he thought to them.

#now tell me #did you cry #because im crying in math #steve harrington #stranger things #steve harrington stranger things #stranger things season 4 #stranger things s4 vol2

I really love the way they have written Sally and Percy’s relationship in the show. Sally being the mom of a neurodivergent kid and feeling like shes constantly failing. Her being isolated because she doesnt have anyone to talk to about this as a single parent. And she makes mistakes, she feels human. Then we have Percy feeling like a burden to his parent. He cant understand why none of his parents want him around even though its for his wellbeing. It’s so heartbreaking but so real.

#mom of the year sally jackson #YOURE DOING YOUR BEST SWEETIE #IM SO PROUD OF YOU SALLY #this episode was so good #i did indeed cry #percy jackson #sally jackson #poseidon #pjo #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson the lightning thief #pjo tv #percy series #pjo tv show #walker scobell #virginia kull #toby stephens

the thing is that they're so fascinated by sex, they love sex, they can't imagine a world without sex - they need sex to sell things, they need sex to be part of their personality, they need sex to prove their power - but they hate sex. they are disgusted by it.

sex is the only thing that holds their attention, and it is also the thing that can never be discussed directly.

you can't tell a child the normal names for parts of their body, that's sexual in nature, because the body isn't a body, it's a vessel of sex. it doesn't matter that it's been proven in studies (over and over) that kids need to know the names of their genitals; that they internalize sexual shame at a very young age and know it's 'dirty' to have a body; that it overwhelmingly protects children for them to have the correct words to communicate with. what matters is that they're sexual organs. what matters is that it freaks them out to think about kids having body parts - which only exist in the context of sex.

it's gross to talk about a period or how to check for cancer in a testicle or breast. that is nasty, illicit. there will be no pain meds for harsh medical procedures, just because they feature a cervix.

but they will put out an ad of you scantily-clad. you will sell their cars for them, because you have abs, a body. you will drip sex. you will ooze it, like a goo. like you were put on this planet to secrete wealth into their open palms.

they will hit you with that same palm. it will be disgusting that you like leather or leashes, but they will put their movie characters in leather and latex. it will be wrong of you to want sexual freedom, but they will mark their success in the number of people they bed.

they will crow that it's inappropriate for children so there will be no lessons on how to properly apply a condom, even to teens. it's teaching them the wrong things. no lessons on the diversity of sexual organ growth, none on how to obtain consent properly, none on how to recognize when you feel unsafe in your body. if you are a teenager, you have probably already been sexualized at some point in your life. you will have seen someone also-your-age who is splashed across a tv screen or a magazine or married to someone three times your age. you will watch people pull their hair into pigtails so they look like you. so that they can be sexy because of youth. one of the most common pornography searches involves newly-18 young women. girls. the words "barely legal," a hiss of glass sand over your skin.

barely legal. there are bills in place that will not allow people to feel safe in their own bodies. there are people working so hard to punish any person for having sex in a way that isn't god-fearing and submissive. heteronormative. the sex has to be at their feet, on your knees, your eyes wet. when was the first time you saw another person crying in pornography and thought - okay but for real. she looks super unhappy. later, when you are unhappy, you will close your eyes and ignore the feeling and act the role you have been taught to keep playing. they will punish the sex workers, remove the places they can practice their trade safely. they will then make casual jokes about how they sexually harass their nanny.

and they love sex but they hate that you're having sex. you need to have their ornamental, perfunctory, dispassionate sex. so you can't kiss your girlfriend in the bible belt because it is gross to have sex with someone of the same gender. so you can't get your tubes tied in new england because you might change your mind. so you can't admit you were sexually assaulted because real men don't get hurt, you should be grateful. you cannot handle your own body, you cannot handle the risks involved, let other people decide that for you. you aren't ready yet.

but they need you to have sex because you need to have kids. at 15, you are old enough to parent. you are not old enough to hear the word fuck too many times on television.

they are horrified by sex and they never stop talking about it, thinking about it, making everything unnecessarily preverted. the saying - a thief thinks everyone steals. they stand up at their podiums and they look out at the crowd and they sign a bill into place that makes sexwork even more unsafe and they stand up and smile and sign a bill that makes gender-affirming care illegal and they get up and they shrug their shoulders and write don't say gay and they get up, and they make the world about sex, but this horrible, plastic vision of it that they have. this wretched, emotionless thing that holds so much weight it's staggering. they put their whole spine behind it and they push and they say it's normal!

this horrible world they live in. disgusted and also obsessed.

#this shifts gender so much bc it actually affects everyone #yes it's a gendered phenomenon. i have written a LOT about how different genders experience it. that's for a different post.#writeblr #ps my comments about seeing someone cry -- this is not to shame any person #and on this blog we support workers.#at the same time it's a really hard experience to see someone that looks like you. clearly in agony. and have them forced to keep going.#when you're young it doesn't necessarily look like acting. it looks scary. and that's what this is about - the fact that teens #have likely already been exposed to that definition of things. because the internet exists #and without the context of healthy education. THAT is the image burned into their minds about what it looks like.#it's also just one of those personal nuanced biases -#at 19 i thought it was normal to be in pain. to cry. to not-like-it. that it should be perfunctory.#it was what i had seen.#and it didn't help that my religious upbringing was like . 'yeah that's what you get for premarital. but also for the reference #we do think you should never actually enjoy it lol'#so like the point im making is that ppl get exposed to that stuff without the context of something more tender #and assume .... 'oh. so it's fine i am not enjoying myself'. and i know they do because I DID.#he was my first boyfriend. how was i supposed to know any different #i didn't even have the mental wherewithal to realize im a lesbian . like THAT used to suffering.

I see your "Hannibal killing Will's surrogate daughter who lured and ate people (Hannibal's style of killing) the way lambs get slaughtered for food,"

and I raise you "Will killing Hannibal's surrogate son who hunted and mauled people (Will's style of killing) the way animals get mauled when they infringe on each other's territory."

Do you fold?

#it's details like this that make me feral #screaming crying shaking #hannibal #hannibal lecter #will graham #hannigram #all gods demand a sacrifice #did you think that you could change me the way i changed you #i already have #i'm not okay

REPLICA PLAYLIST

MUSIC UNDER CUT

I have been receiving requests for any songs that inspired Replica, so here, have my personal playlist. Sorry it’s not Spotify/Soundcloud but they don’t have some of these songs available so uh… guess you’re stuck with YouTube vids. For fun I'll include my personal titles for them (which might give a few hints of what to expect in the future/end).

Replica Main Theme - “Die for You” by Grabbitz Like Father Like Son Like Brother (Omega and Shelldon) - "As Above So Below" by Alistair Lindsay Mikey's Theme / The 1st Vision - "Suzume no Tojimari" by Nanoka Hara Military (Mad) Dogs / Central Park Colony - "Imperium" by Madeon Shanghai - "Icarus" by Madeon Boom Goes the Donnie-mite (Mikey/Donnie vs the Sweeper) - "The Red Zone" by Mitsuoto Suzuki The Day the Sky Bled Red - "7 Seconds Till the End" by Nobuo Uematsu Going Out Like a Boss (Raph and Leo) - "Agape" by Nicholas Britell Remembering the Right Way (Mikey and Leo) - "The Souls of Many" - by Alistair Lindsay Mystic Hands / The 2nd Vision - "Am I Dreaming" by Metro Boomin x A$AP Book 2 Trailer - "Sea Dragon" by Covet 7 Years Later - "Iron" by Woodkid Leo's Theme / Attack on the Labor Camp - "Ego Death" by Polyphia Omega's Theme - "Touch" by Daft Punk Flat Lines (Omega Alone) - "Die Toteninsel Emptiness" by 1000 Eyes Spear - "Monsters" by Tommee Profitt Final Protocol - "The Kraken" by Katie Dey Rise / Epilogue - "Close in the Distance" by Masayoshi Soken & Tom Mills

I will admit, it's a little embarrassing since you can easily see the patterns of what I've been listening to for the past year or two. I swear I listen to more than just videogame OSTs, these songs just jive well with the story and I often find lyrics distracting when brainstorming scenes. Regardless, the music I listen to is such an important part of my creative process and some of these songs really defined the scenes I now have locked in my head. So I figured it was only fair to give them the credit they're due.

I will continue to add to this playlist, and will note in comic updates when one of these songs is applicable!
