#shit was fucking brutal

[thebiggestmenace]

had another tlou talk with my sister and I have SO MANY thoughts :))

this is mainly just season 2 thoughts cause I'm getting to the end of the gameplay and I have thoughts about it for the show! cause we live in fear and excitement for season 2, so here are our thoughts!

are they gonna split the season in half? cause I think it would Too much to keep going back and forth between Abby and Ellie's perspectives since both of them have so much story to their respective parts

HBO has done like 20 episodes? for seasons before, right? maybe? if so, make it 18 episodes. maybe 8 per person. the first episode maybe starts off of like it does in the game, have both perspectives then The Thing to finish it off and leave us suffering for a week. and then the last episode be dedicated to Ellie on the farm and that cutscene :(

OR go through and still split the season, but start off with Abby. let us know who she is before you kill Joel. it would be a smoother transition from season 1 to 2, I think. just start the episode with the flashback of That, then give us the 2 perspectives and That Other Scene

I would say go through and do Abby first, then Ellie, but it would make everyone hate Ellie cause of what she did in her grief, but it could still be good. that way we know who everyone is, but you could still keep it a surprise and do Ellie first. I do not know, but I like the idea of having Abby first, that way we know who she is and why she did what she did

speaking of That scene, give us more of the after. there's concept art of Dina and Jesse finding Joel and Ellie in that basement. it would destroy us all, but I think it would be bittersweet? to have that scene. but also to keep it private, cause they did it for Riley and Bill and Frank

going off the last point, give us more after Abby found Ellie in the theater. what happened? no one was in the best shape. did Dina have to rip an arrow out of herself, then go help Ellie up and then do the same for Tommy? did Ellie crawl to Dina to help her? what happened, who helped them??? cause no one in Jackson knows where they are, other than Maria, but she doesn't know the specifics and there's no implication that she even went to Seattle. so who helped them?? how did they all, minus Jesse, survive that attack?

I think those are all the plot points, so onto the additional stories!

expand more on Dina PLEASE. she talked a bit about her time on the road with Talia, but you can give us more for sure! if you were able to give us an hour long 10K self insert fic for Bill and Frank, you can give us more on Dina (please please please I love her so much). maybe also her pregnancy? cause she had it so rough in the beginning, did it get any easier? at least maybe her and Ellie moving out of Jackson

give us more on Cat!!! GIVE US THE TATTOO!!! where'd she get the supplies? how'd she teach herself? WHAT WAS SHE LIKE???

GIVE ELLIE A DOG, SHE DESERVES A DOG, GIVE HER A DOG

also maybe expand more on the ending? I was telling my sister it hurt like a scab. if you think of the whole game like that, then the end is ripping the scab off. like Ellie was gonna forgive Joel? and then that's it? that's the end? it hurts SO BAD, give us a little more, please :) although maybe not (I guess smh) cause they stayed true to the ending of the first game

ooo maybe give us more for Yara and Lev? don't know when you'd throw it in the episode/season, but I think it would be so cool to see more of them

I think these were all the thoughts! if not, I will add more later :) we live in constant fear for season 2, so I figured I'd share some of the loose brain thoughts. I'm just REALLY curious as to how they're gonna film this season. I think Craig or Neil said season 3 might be unlikely? it was a while ago, so I am RIDING on the fact it's all gonna be in one season. I don't think they should go back and forth between Abby and Ellie's perspectives, though, cause I think it would be too confusing. unless they can find a way to do it? I don't know, I guess we shall find out

city boy cant understand a damn thing his pirate brother is saying

I saw a Troilus post and that made me have Feels™ all over again. Something that particularly upsets me is the image of Troilus being dragged by his hair to Apollo's altar:

Like even putting aside the fact that Troilus, apart from being Apollo's son, is also a suppliant to Apollo here and to harm anyone in a god's temple is already an unforgivable violation of the sacredness of the place-

Troilus was a little boy or a youth at the most. His hair was most definitely sacred to him. It would have been cut and dedicated to Apollo, the protector of boys, if he had reached his adulthood. But he got dragged by his hair to his death, as if he was an animal being sacrificed to the god. Achilles didn't simply kill Troilus, he deliberately violated everything Troilus would have held sacred to him - his hair, his body, his god's temple...

Achilles had previously killed Tenes as well, another son of Apollo, despite Thetis very clearly warning him not to do so. So all of this was him knowingly spitting in Apollo's face, if you think about it.

I understand being upset by the moonpaw dog post but i dont think talking about some random teen publicly (on a pretty big fandom blog) as opposed to like, dming them about it, is a very nice thing to do? Would recommend keeping that kinda gossip in dms going forward personally.

??????? "That kinda gossip???"

Saying that it's fucked up that a publicly posted incest joke about how deformed she should look went to the top of the Warrior Cats and Moonpaw tags, is gossip???

TRENDING TAGS?? GOSSIP?

I'm not talking about "some random teen," I have not even dropped a username and been VERY clear I don't want harassment of anyone. During this discussion about wider ableism against Moonpaw, I've directly answered two anons about the contents of a post that was/IS extremely popular to the tune of nearly a thousand notes.

One of those two asks was an anon who only stumbled in to say that the post was funny in a display of SHOCKING tonedeafness, while I was talking about how shitty it is to compare people who are the products of incest to unethical dog breeds, especially in the context of WC. The other was an actual XX/XY chimera who expressed that the extremely popular post hurt their feelings, and when they tried to express discomfort to someone, got told they "probably killed their twin in the womb."

It's not just one rando weenie little blog the minute half of the Tumblr space is openly laughing at a joke about deformed incest kids and hoping Moonpaw dies because she's so "gross." Not nice?? Your feelings are hurt? OTHER people's feelings were ALREADY hurt.

NOTHING about this was "nice" to begin with!

Difference is, when YOU cry me a river, you can build me a bridge, and get right the fuck over it. A person who's the product of incest cries and has to go right back to every shitty banjo-hunchback-hapsburg joke they've heard before, just feeling more unsafe about a space that PRETENDS to care about the abuse they experienced. If you feel guilty about that, maybe you should!

If you were under the impression I was ever "nice" about bigotry, you were mistaken. I don't appreciate calls for ME to be more polite when I'm at a trend of fandom ableism and calling it fucked up. I've named NO names. Sounds like what you ACTUALLY want is for people like me who have a platform to shut up.

Sandor Clegane, the wordsmith.

The Hound escorted her across the drawbridge. As they were winding their way up the step, she said, "Why do you let people call you a dog? You won't let anyone call you a knight."

"I like dogs better than knights. My father's father was kennelmaster at The Rock. One autumn year, Lord Tytos came between a lioness and her prey. The lioness didn't give a shit that she was Lannister's own sigil. Bitch tore into my lord's horse and would have done for my lord too, but my grandfather came up with the hounds. Three of his dogs died running her off. My grandfather lost a leg, so Lannister paid him for it with lands and a towerhouse, and took his son to squire. The three dogs on our banner are the three that died, in the yellow of autumn grass. A hound will die for you, but never lie to you. And he'll look you straight in the face."

i just think a lot of very prevalent asoiaf analysis stops at the deconstruction and acts like there is no reconstruction along with it
