I can imagine Jerry always supporting Abby and going to the gym with her just to support her as he struggles to deadlift more than her. There would never be a time where he would say "girls can do anything boys can do" because it would never come up. Because he wouldn't let Abby believe there are stereotypical "boy" and "girl" interests or hobbies. He would simply teach them as interests or hobbies.
Anywho Jerry is a supportive dad and raises Abby to be comfortable and proud of who she is. He never dies because I make the rules.
"Abbs, I found this thing! Apparently you put your foot in it and stretch it like a rubber ba- OW!"
"Dad, oh my God put the resistance band down."
"Resistance band! That's the word!"
"Your nose is bleeding."

The Joel and Tommy age gap thing is funny because I always put it at like 4 years years when the original games came out but when the remastered came out, Tommy looked significantly younger, especially in the prologue. He looks so, so young in the prologue of the remastered. Like, there’s definitely 8 or so years because Joel’s 32 and like you said, there’s no way the remastered version of Tommy is over 25, so my opinion on the age gap changed with the newer version 😂
Yeah, I know. I'm glad they made them look their real age in the remake because otherwise it wouldn't make any sense if Tommy was just 4 years younger (because there's this letter he wrote to Joel and Joel was keeping it; it's like the cutest thing ever). And from that letter, you can sense that Tommy was a lot younger than Joel.
But hey, I still can't get over the fact that Jerry (Abby's dad) went from black to white in the remake. I had to laugh out loud, it was like the biggest mindfuck of all mindfucks. I mean, I get it; they probably didn't plan Part 2 at the time, so they didn't think that the surgeon could be important for the next game. But this was just hilarious. I always wondered why they didn't cast a black girl to play Abby to save themselves trouble by re-making the whole appearance of Jerry's character. But then again, maybe they wanted to do it, and then the actress who plays Abby came in, and they were so stunned by her acting that they decided to make this ridiculous change regardless.

ashley and laura both being in that episode is fantastic for iconic bestie reasons but also god the fucking. poetry of. both of them having embodied and voiced central characters in the games and now playing people who are witnesses to what causes the characters’ most central motivations? like ashley as anna watching marlene carry away her daughter who she knows was still part of her when she was bitten and ellie carries the weight of that for the rest of her life because of everything it means for the possibility of a cure. and laura as a nurse who watches the murder of this (for now) nameless doctor whose needless death will be something that haunts abby for the rest of her life. god . cross media storytelling is so ripe with phenomenal possibility for exactly this reason i’m Losing It

as someone who has done pretty extensive work with human CSF and biomarker discovery……from the bottom of my heart, dr jerry anderson is a hack. like, for one thing, JERRY, spinal taps are a thing.
and another thing…NOT A SINGLE TEST BEFORE YOU KILL YOUR ONLY SAMPLE SOURCE????? WHAT???????? no blood tests, no scans, NOTHING.
like. that is so broadly, irredeemably stupid. i cannot even begin to convey how ludicrously unscientific and senseless that is.
they were going to kill the only potential source of a cure on the first pass because they decided to carve her brain like a thanksgiving turkey instead of doing literally anything slightly more measured or thought out. i am speechless at the absurdity.

I’ll speak more on the season finale of “The Last of Us” later, but for now, I just wanna say that I felt that the episode brought back the sense of dread in a shootout scene. I feel that audiences, including myself, have gotten so desensitized to gunfights in movies and TV shows that when we’re watching these scenes happen, we’re not registering just how destructive they really are. For example, if you watch any of the “John Wick” movies, by the 70th person who John has gunned down, you’ve essentially become numb to all the deaths. They’re no longer people, they’re just targets.
But the way “The Last of Us” filmed the hospital scene really emphasized just how horrific the massacre was. Heroic music isn’t playing, close-ups on Joel’s victims, Joel shoots a guy who surrendered, Joel’s numb expression, unarmed people running away and pleading for their lives. Even though Joel is the hero, the show doesn’t sugarcoat how destructive his actions were.
Honestly, the last time a shootout scene gave me this sense of dread was “Daredevil” when Frank Castle shot up the hospital…oh, what a coincidence!

we fell in love in october
abby anderson x reader x ellie williams
cw : fluff, tears, mentions of pregnancy, mentions of birth, grandpa joel and grandpa jerry.
a/n : literally so short but i needed to get this out of my brain before i died (of baby fever)
Abby held the tiny bundle in her arms as Ellie and Joel crowded around her to catch a glimpse. She’d only been in the world for twenty minutes before the village of a family poured in itching to see their newest addition, gasping in awe as they took in her tiny blushed figure swaddled in a thick layer of blanket to counteract the cool fall air that drifted in from the open window. 
You smiled at the sight, looking over to Jerry as you nodded towards the group. “Go see your granddaughter, worry about me later.” He had been hovering by your side the entire time, watching you carefully just in case anything went wrong at the last minute but you couldn’t bear seeing Abby experience this moment without him. “I’m fine, trust me.” 
For a moment you thought you heard Dina and Jesse outside, awaiting their turn to see the baby- but Ellie’s soft voice caught your attention, drawing you back to the moment at hand. 
She was all tears, kneeling by your bedside now as she broke away from the group. “Oh, baby. You did so well.” She hiccuped, brushing the hair from your face. She had slight dark circles around her eyes, showing just how long she had spent pacing around your room, the hallway, the bathroom, and even the courtyard as she waited patiently. “She looks just like you.” 
Abby handed the baby off to Joel, letting him and her dad coo over the angel as she came to rest beside Ellie, intertwining her fingers with the brunette before ghosting her free hand over yours- nervous to be too rough after the day you’d been through. “God, she is so beautiful.” She stated, a small sigh leaving her lips as she peered up at you through her thick lashes. She never thought she’d see the day she’d make her dad and grandpa, yet here it was, and something inside of her knew she’d never be able to live without this. Without the family the three of you had created. 
You nodded, moving a weak hand to grip onto hers. “She’s ours. Our baby girl.” You reminded them, through the entire pregnancy- your biggest fear had been either of your girls feeling less than the other when it came to being your daughters mom. Yet as you saw the tear streaks that adorned both of their faces, you couldn’t deny their claim to her parentage. Maybe biologically, you were her only connection, but emotionally the women before you had taken on the role of mother long before she’d ever even seen the sun. 
“Thank you.” Ellie breathed, resting her head on Abby’s shoulder. 
The two held each other close, Abby being as gentle as she could as she peppered soft kisses on your knuckles. The sound of soft laughter and sniffles filled your ears as you let yourself finally begin to relax for the first time since you went into labor. There was nothing as sweet as the love that pulsed through the room, spilling out the windows and into the depths of Jackson, swallowing up the dangers that waited outside the walls and allowing the world to feel a lot softer than it had in a very long time. 
All it took was a little girl born on the first of October.

Let me preface this by saying, I’m a pre-med student who works in a psychology lab as a research assistant and has also worked in a doctor’s office with actual patients. A lot of my opinions about this ending are informed by that aspect of myself, but that does not mean I don’t understand the incredible weight and horror of Joel’s decision either. I am also a writer and the narrative of a parent’s love being that destructive is so compelling.
However, it’s not more important to me than making sure people know how egregiously terrible the Fireflies are. Because the logic that something can morally outweigh informed consent is what has led to some truly horrific, catastrophic events in our REAL human history. Henrietta Lacks, the Tuskegee study, and the CIA’s fake vaccination drive in Pakistan come to mind immediately for me. These are all events that I encourage everyone to learn about.
Putting all that aside for now, objectively, Jerry Anderson was stupid and wrong in every way possible. You never ever want to completely destroy the subject you are working on, ESPECIALLY if that is the only one you have. Because wtf are you going to do if your experiment doesn’t work? You killed the one source! Literally anything would’ve been better than KILLING ELLIE?? Killing her should be the very last resort after exhausting every other possible avenue, which they didn’t. (Before someone tells me that I need to suspend my disbelief … no. The whole show is rooted in realism and that this is a possibility SCIENTIFICALLY … so I’m going to think about it with my science brain, I’m sorry!)
Now onto the part that I know y’all are going to get your panties in a twist about, Ellie herself and her capacity to give consent. Which in my opinion, coming from someone whose literal job it is to get informed consent, she did not have.
Bodily autonomy and agency is obviously very important but you would never let your child run into oncoming traffic because “oh, it’s their body and I’d be violating their autonomy and agency if I physically held them back!!” Like no. That’s a child that doesn’t fully grasp what they are doing or what is going on around them so you as the adult must make the decision to not let them harm themselves.
Ellie is a slew of red flags to someone who would be searching for participants for an experiment. For one, Ellie is a child. Getting informed consent from a child is already hard because their brains are not developed enough to fully grasp and understand what they’d be agreeing to. Two, Ellie has gone through immense trauma and is suffering from the worst case of survivor’s guilt to possibly ever exist. She literally feels like the only way to compensate for her loss is to die. She is the definition of passively suicidal. The way I would rule her out of a study so fast and send her links to every helpline I know. And yes, I know that she can never actually get the help she needs. But in my opinion, she is not in any way able to give consent and Jerry and nurses should’ve been very aware of that.
So, the fact that the Fireflies are just medically inept, and on top of that, didn’t care to get consent, and even if they had, it wouldn’t matter because Ellie is not in a position to be making that kind of decision, makes them very, very wrong.
Does that make Joel right? No. Because Joel wasn’t thinking about any of that. He believed that the Fireflies knew what they were doing, that they had a shot at making a cure and he also knew what Ellie would want (again, she’s still not a position to give consent but JOEL DOESN’T KNOW THAT BECAUSE HE’S NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL) and he still chose to save Ellie over … the entire world. And then he lied to her about it.
(And the lie was to protect her emotionally because he knows she takes on so much blame and he doesn’t want to cause even MORE damage and pile on top of that insane survivor’s guilt … but lying to a teenager is never the way to go, they always know).
TLDR: it is very, very complicated!
