#joel died but ellie ???

[cordycepspog]

There’s something horrifyingly beautiful about Tess’s final moments. In the midst of the most dire chaos, as she waits for her death to come rushing past so she can blow it sky high and give cordyceps a big fuck you one last time, one of the infected stops. It looks at her, really looks. Her own mortality is personified in this infected. It’s death that’s looking at her, and it sees her. She looks her own death in the eye, and the suspense is so high as it approaches. But then, it doesn’t bite her throat out like we all expect it to.

It kisses her. What’s more, it kisses her gently. And I think it was a brilliant choice on the writers part, because it reminded me that the infected aren’t supposed to be evil. Sure, they’re scary as hell, but really, they’re just trying to survive. They’re connected to one another, they can feel each other from miles away. They seek out and want to be close to their own kind, just like the human survivors do. And when they do find each other, they kiss hello.

And after so long apart from a loved one, someone you know and trust with every instinct in your body, wouldn’t you want to kiss them too?

#okay that’s enough posting for the night but I’m sure I’ll have more dumb little thought’s tomorrow #I still wanted to talk about how Tess let’s it kiss her in her final moments. Like it’s one last intimate moment she lets herself have #before she dies. but that’s a post for another time #something something recognizing yourself in the other something something transitioning from one family to the next through death something #something. #anyway rip tess #anna torv i love you you slayed #tlou #tlou hbo #tess tlou #joel miller #ellie tlou #tlou spoilers #the last of us #tw body horror #just in case #I’d also like to bring up that this is an interpretation. obviously the kiss was for shock factor. i’m just having fun analyzing it

If this doesn’t make sense it’s 5am so blame that and my tears as I’m rewatching specific scenes

I think he tells her the story of his attempt before the hospital for the sake of getting it out there in case things go bad, like he mentioned on the roof about there always being something bad out there. He doesn’t just keep walking and tell her about it, they sit down and have this moment together, and Ellie knows he’s being serious. But he tells her all this, and his “it wasn’t time that did it” being his way of saying I love you right before they’re separated

He sits down to tell her all this to let her know he loves her in case they run into anything bad. In case things go south. And, even if they don’t go south, then she knows. Then he knows. They get to enter Jackson knowing. They get to live together knowing, without a shadow of a doubt. Having told each other that, and them both understanding it because of how they know how to communicate with each other and what the other means

I don’t know. The timing. The setting. The words. The meanings. The intimacy. It’s all so much

After the insects have made their claim - after the foxes have had their taste - I’ll be home with you

I’ll be home with you

#everyone listen to in a week by Hozier and think of bill and frank and cry so hard #what flowers are in that pot. yknow the ones bill are watering and then they’re dead when Joel and Ellie show up #because I’m so sure there is symbolism other than the way the flowers died #poetic cinema #tlou #the last of us #bill and frank #bill the last of us #frank the last of us #hozier #my art #tlou spoilers #the last of us spoilers

fireworks

“You weren’t lying,” you said. Across the dark lake, the fireworks were reflected in the water. Your bare feet dangled off the dock and you leaned a little into Joel beside you, gazing up into the sky.

“No,” he said. “Don’t mean to start either.”

You were far enough away there was no noise with the explosions, just another cascade of sparkling light, brocade, crossette, peonies. Joel took your hand in his. 

“Next year, we’ll bring the girls,” he said.

“Ellie’ll be too excited to watch,” you said.

“I’ll get a bunch of sparklers, we’ll tire her out,” he said.

The Last of Us Episode 1: When You're Lost in the Darkness

#lol they really went 'here's the whole show!' in the first ten minutes #the last of us #tlouedit #thelastofusedit #* #if i wasn't lazy i'd parallel this to ellie telling joel that if he dies she's fucked

[lunalivvy]

as much as kathleen pissed me off, i kept reminding myself that she’s doing the exact same thing as joel and ellie

other than the fact that she’s going after people who are just kids, her motives are the exact same as joel and ellie. obsessively hunting down henry is the same as ellie hunting down abby in tlou2, and saying she knows killing people isn’t what her brother would want but then doing it anyway (for selfish reasons) is the same as joel taking ellie from the fireflies knowing she wouldn’t want him to

#and her death felt so… premature? #like i was happy she died but #i felt like she was there just to be there #her presence felt so redundant after killing her like that so soon it just felt unfinished yk? #the last of us #the last of us hbo #tlou #tlou hbo #tlou kathleen #joel miller #ellie williams #abby

Cannot wait for the show to replicate these again with Joel rescuing Ellie from the hospital.

#he couldn't save his daughter #the second kid has already died #and then finally he saves this child who has become his own #from the grips of death #itll be a full circle moment but at what cost? #the last of us #tlou #tlou spoilers #the last of us spoilers #the last of us hbo #tlou hbo #joel miller #pedro pascal #sarah miller #nico parker #ellie williams #bella ramsey

ppl who don’t think tlou2 was a game built purely around shock value, pls pls tell me why they’d have joel and ellie not speaking for two years (soooooooooooooooo ooc lmao) and then kill him off the day after they finally start to make amends/she comes out to him if not for shock value??

#i can’t understand how ppl don’t see it #that is a clear indication they prioritised shock over characters/narrative #ur telling me ellie williams who told joel she’d be more scared without him because everyone else in her life has died or left her #wouldn’t speak to him for 2 years lmaooooo??? be mad he lied sure! but not #not speaking to him looool #they chose that for shock. they chose the timing of everything for shock #gross gross bad rubbish #bruce they should have kept you on and kept neil away im so sorry to you and ellie and joel #anti tlou2 #the last of us spoilers

[ellies-enrichment]

this is funny 2 me because i was crying on valentines day

#not because no one loved me #but because i bought tlou part 2 on sale and joel died 2 hours in #tlou part 2 spoilers #i kept it together for his death like im heartbroken right but i held it together because im not a BABY #and then ellie sniffed his jacket and i cried for 15 minutes
