Marlene could have told Ellie alllllllll about her mom and she never did :) 🔪
#prefacing by saying I never played the game and idk much about it/how it’s different#but anyway:#like I’m sure being an orphan in that universe is very common#like ellie probably just grew up thinking her parents died and not that they gave her away/didn’t want her or anything#but marlene could have confirmed all of that for ellie and told her all about her mom — her best friend#like ellie could have grown up knowing about her mom. bare minimum who she was and what she was like#instead of literal nothingness. probably not even a name.#it just makes me so sad#and it makes me angry when marlene says she ‘knows best of all’ or whatever right after basically sentencing ellie to death#like no? you don’t…? I don’t understand that line is it supposed to make me feel this way or am I supposed to feel bad for her.#because I don’t#and ellie asking Joel in the car if Marlene is okay? girl why do you care#she dumped you off at military orphan school and locked you in a room for three weeks after you had to kill your best friend#idk if they wanted to make Marlene Joel’s foil they could have made her more likeable to make it all more heartbreaking ya know
