On my rewatch of TLOU I realized there were some details that I missed before that help to paint this huge picture about the importance of the preceding Tess/Joel relationship. The first and most obvious is that Joel mentions passingly that he and Tommy met Tess pretty early on, and it sounds like she stayed with him when every other group they were in fell apart, and even when his own brother left. So they’ve been surviving together for at LEAST 15 years, probably longer than his daughter was even alive, which is a length of time I just didn’t fully process before.
We never hear the full goodbye/suicide letter from Bill, but a lot of people have pointed out that over Joel’s shoulder you can see Tess’s name mentioned at least twice at the end — including something about her deciding what to do. We know that basically every time we saw Tess directly interacting with Joel before she died, she was the one giving him directives and making the final decisions. She says outright that he listens to her. This is not a man who trusts fucking anybody after everything he’s been through. But he trusts Tess. She comes up behind him in bed while he’s sleeping, and in a world of raiders and robbers where hypervigilance is a necessity, he barely even stirs.
Now, one of her last lines before she dies is “I never asked you for anything, not to feel the way I felt—“ and he tries to say something and she shuts him down. But here’s what gets me: before that, before they realize she was bit, she turns around and in her dying frantic anger she yells “that is NOT MY HOME!” about the QZ. And it’s like okay… where else could she be thinking about, if she’s spent all these years on the road with different groups, with Joel, and then at least a decade in the QZ? What is she defining as home right now? Why is this correction so intense? And it could be about Detroit, about where she came from and isn’t (apparently) attempting to go back to. But then. But then she turns and she looks directly at Joel. And she’s got the most tragic expression on her face. And I wonder if in that moment Joel knew she meant that he was her home, even if she had never said it that openly before. Wherever he went, she would go. Haring off on a wild chase after his brother across the country? She’s there. She’ll do anything to make it happen. She’ll beg and barter and kill for this truck battery, for a mission she doesn’t even have half the same stakes in. She was his direction and his driving force and a safe place for him, but he was her home.
Thinking about this almost changed the tenor of the remaining story with Joel and Ellie to me. The hospital massacre felt perfectly in character the first time I watched, but when I rewatched with both the Sarah and the Tess story in the forefront of my mind it felt even more fucking inevitable. Joel is Orpheus. This couldn’t have gone any other way. He could never have done anything else. He has failed the two most important women in his life. He has failed a daughter, and he has failed a partner twice over- first by letting her die, and second by letting her die believing she was unloved. How can he fail Ellie now? He has to burn the entire world, tell any lie, just to keep her alive. There is no other option, no other outcome. There is no living Joel post-canon without the hospital massacre.
And the revenge for it will be what kills him.

Can we spend a few minutes on the giraffe scene? Because right before this, ellie is completely checked out. She’s traumatized, she’s distant, and she’s so completely absent. But beneath all of this trauma, she’s still a kid, and now she’s a kid who just saw a weird, fucked up leopard camel llama thing, probably for the first time, and it’s eating out of her hand with a weird, fucked up blue tongue as long as her forearm. She may be traumatized out of her mind and living in a post-apocalyptic hellscape, but that childlike wonder is still there, and Joel hasn’t looked more proud in the entire series.

“I think that letter underscores for him that no matter how hard he tries, and no matter how strong his instinct is to preserve and protect the people that he cares about, he can’t.” - Craig Mazin

can you imagine the devastion he felt as they basically said they were gonna kill Ellie? He has been closed off for 20 years, basically surviving from day to day, unwilling to feel any emotion, locking it all away, staying away from children. We see that from the moment he meets Ellie his emotions are already bleeding out, he has a hard time controlling them, in his core he is made to be a father, to direct all his love to someone. Without Sarah there was no point anymore...
Now Ellie has made his way through all that devastion, she has poked his dad side, she makes him wanna be alive, he can finally direct all that love somewhere again, and now they dare take her away? again? over his dead body.
#pedro delivers so perfectly#thank you craig for giving him this role#finally he had a chance to show what he is capable of#because this fucker made my heart break every episode#his sad beautiful eyes#poked at my heart#also joel just wanting to be needed is so heartwrenching to me#joel miller#tlou#joel and ellie#the last of us#ellie williams#pedro pascal#joel and sarah#sarah miller

things to look at here: Joel's face when they turn around, and how it changes when he realizes what he's looking at the way they're walking so close that Ellie's touching his shirt casually, comfortably, affectionately the way he becomes a human shield and covers her body with his ouch.❤️🩹

i know the decision is supposed to be morally impossible to make but it’s almost laughable how easy it is to side with joel. the last of us has spent week after week crafting a narrative in which ellie is her own fully formed person, giving her agency and power and depth and dreams of the future she would never know she’d never see because the fireflies reduced her to a means to an unstable end that they can’t even guarantee exists.
#also she’s a child? let’s never forget that#i will always side with joel#do i think he should have lied? no but i think it comes down to him being a parent and like craig said its the easiest choice hes ever made#does nobody know what the scientific method is!!#ellie and joel def don’t and clearly neither do the fireflies#tlou#the last of us#hbo tlou#hbo the last of us#tlou spoilers#joel miller#ellie williams#ellie and joel
