#joel and ellie from the last of us

[alliebirb]

my trope of ALL time

[peterparkersnose]

WHO DID THIS 😭

[tlou-obsessed]

There is something about Pedros eyes as Joel that has me on the floor, throughout the series there are alot of microexpressions he does but this damn contrast makes my heart ache.

He goes from disbelief to shock to completely shutting down when Sarah dies, there is so much pain in those eyes it makes your heart clench, it's in the way Joel keeps hugging Sarah harder as to transfer his own life into hers by pure will,

Then you have the hospital and you see no light behind those eyes, you can just feel the pure rage and agony. Him walking slower and slower and you can just feel his heart drop, and the wires come lose in his head and then there is one mission, save Ellie. His eyes man....

I can't believe they didn't show us in the original scene, but this is Ellie's face right after Joel tells her "We're going our separate ways."

The pain in her eyes, the tears… she's so devastated, and her eyes are all red. I feel physically ill for not being there to hug her.

I've been expecting a lot from being able to freely move the camera in the cinematics, but I DID NOT expect this. THIS COMPLETELY BROKE ME. I literally cannot, just look at this puffy baby.

Things that absolutely fucked my shit up this episode, an incomprehensible list:

- Ellie liked the smell of Frank’s sleeping bag

- Joel still wearing Frank’s shirt

- Joel staying up all night to guard while Ellie slept

- “They’re not gonna hit you. Look at me, they’re not gonna hit you.”

- “Mom! Mom! Mom!”

- The way the doctor gave the lines “I delivered you. I held you in my hands.” and “I’m your doctor” so simply when asked for reasons why he shouldn’t be killed

- Ellie’s smile when Joel tried to tug the gun from her hand

- The way Joel bumbled his way through trying to make sure Ellie was okay, and ask if she wanted to talk about it after she shot Bryan

- All of the superhero drawings on the wall that Sam drew of him and Henry

- The mask that Sam had drawn on his face

Something about how everyone is undeniably human, and how unafraid they are of not shying away from that.

Tess: How do I make a date really romantic?

Ellie: Be mysterious.

Tess: ...Okay?

*later, while on a date with Joel*

Joel: So where are we going?

Tess: None of your fucking business.

[mdawgswizzleinthehizzle]

history repeats itself.

[aouiaa]

unpopular opinion: the teaser was shit, support palestine instead.

[witchlingcirce]

AITA for saving my daughter from a mortal surgery? I (M50something) saved my adoptive daughter (F14) from a mortal surgery where a medical team was supposed to take her brain to create a cure for a lethal fungus infection. She wanted to do it and we made an impossible journey to reach the hospital BUT at last minute I was told that she wasn't given the full information of how to obtain the cure and that she will die. I might have killed a bunch of people in the process of rescuing her.

hey yall, with the global strike nearly being over, i want to say that do not stop talking and sharing about palestine, and although some of you may start writing again, i highly recommend that you don’t forget. Seeing people who get annoyed that tlou tags are being flooded with palestine content angers me. Please don’t stop talking and please share and repost. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

[toointojoelmiller]

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.❤️‍🩹

the real tragedy of tlou is that in saving ellie’s life, joel dooms their relationship. it’s not tragic that he killed a hospital of ppl and prevented a cure bcus we have no emotional attachment to any of those people or the notion a cure might actually work and fix the world. we’ve travelled across that world with ellie and joel and seen how it’s in pieces and how unlikely it could ever be fixed the way the fireflies imagine. but emotionally we ARE with joel and ellie and as we see them in that car and hear joel tell his lie and see ellie’s face, we know that things can’t be the same for them again. i am now and have always been of the opinion that joel lies in that moment to protect her from her feelings of guilt and the burden of thinking she has 2 save the world (and ive always said too he should have told her the truth eventually instead of her having to force his hand to get it), but regardless of that the choice joel made and the lie is always going to be between them. things will always be a little different now. an unspoken thing that eats away at the space between them, making it bigger and bigger. and that’s why it’s really tragic because joel picked ellie’s life over and above anything else cus he loved her and thus knew her life had value independent of being a cure to save the world and she should get to live it, but whilst she is living it (something she is only able to do cus he saved her), he has to watch from afar. he saves her and loses her at the same time.
