I hate reading a x reader fic (or any fic tbh) where one character is like "big, buff, scary, man" and then "scared, defenseless, innocent girl." ... Like there's a way to write about a masculine character without pushing stereotypes or taking away from them (yk?)
Also, here's my incredible and accurate rendition of how those fics depict the relationships:

My boyfriend makes memes and then I post them. He’s the meme machine. I just cried really hard.

Still thinking about The Last of Us:
There's something about Ellie inheriting her gun from Frank that scratches the itch in my brain.
A baby queer inheriting something from a queer elder.
A queer elder who got to live passing down an object of protection to a baby queer whose superpower is that she lived
The mirrored role both Ellie and Frank play(ed) in Joel and Bill's lives.
Yeah. Itched scratched.

I can’t claim this “The Last of Us” analysis, but I wanted to share it here because it’s a fascinating thought:
Bill in the game was a cautionary tale. He was a model for what Joel should avoid becoming, which was a closed-off, selfish loner who managed to push away the person he cared about the most.
Bill in the show is Joel’s inspiration/model. He is the one who puts into Joel’s head that he needs to stop being a closed-off, selfish loner and that he must do whatever it takes to save the person he cares about the most.
And what’s cool about this is that, even though both Bills are different, they both served the same purpose regarding Joel’s character.
