Rewatching “I have a plan” from TLG and I’m laughing cuz I JUST realized Nduli does that frog-blink. You know, when a character blinks with one eye at a time 😭

Go to like a minute in and pay REALLY close attention to Nduli

I’M SOBBING THERE IS NOTHING GOING ON IN HIS HEAD

Also I’m looking on the wiki and the pics it chooses for the characters amuses me to no end cuz Kiburi and Tamka look pissed/intimidating and then there’s Nduli

You know, I think one of the biggest reasons I love The Last Guardian so much is how tragic and bittersweet the story is.

The boy has journeyed for who knows how many days with Trico, and at the very start he even says that, even though he probably should, he has no fear of Trico—the very creature his people know only as a man eating beast. Even when Trico gives him good reason to fear it, he does not and sticks by the beast’s side.

The two stick together nearly the whole time, the bond that Trico develops and shares with the boy creating a mutual understanding of their shared goal as they help each other progress through the ruins. Trico could have tried to leave the boy behind at any time, perhaps even found his own way forward without help—though it’s apparent Trico needs the boy as much as the boy needs it—but it doesn’t. Instead, Trico follows the boy every step he takes, going as far as to mimic his movements and call out sadly to the boy whenever it is left behind, and several times Trico puts its own life on the line to save the boy.

Trico charges forward to save the boy from the suits of armor, even though they slash at it with swords and stick it with spears. Trico fights others of its kind—even when it’s vastly outnumbered—to save the boy. Trico even overcame its terrible fear of the eyes in order to save the boy and pushed back against the force trying to control it. All for the boy.

I don’t think it was just about them having a mutual goal and needing each other to get out though that was a big part of it, at least not in the end. Trico and the boy share a bond, it’s clear to see no matter if you’ve played the game yourself or have watched gameplays. Trico loves the boy and the boy loves Trico. They’ve gone so far together, faced so many setbacks and fought so many battles and both have played chicken with death several times all for the sake of the other. That kind of bond is something special, one that can last a lifetime and more.

Their bond and this story however is bittersweet.

At the end of the game, Trico takes the weakened boy back to his village, finally having healed his wings enough to fly. The roles have been reversed from the beginning—it is Trico taking care of the weakened boy just like how the boy took care of him at the start. The villagers surround Trico and stick it with spears but the beast refuses to leave because its loyalty and love to the boy are stronger than whatever fear it feels.

Trico refuses to leave until the boy tells it to. The boy who has no other choice than to send his companion, his friend, away because he knows there is no other way; the other villagers are afraid of Trico, the “man eating beast”, and would kill it if it stayed. So, the boy sends Trico away.

The way Trico pauses and stares at the boy as he commands it to leave in this scene, and then in the next how it stares at the boy for one long moment before taking flight and finally leaving hurts. Trico doesn’t want to leave but Trico wants to listen to the boy, and perhaps on some level Trico also understands that it cannot stay.

The game jumps to the present; The boy grows into a man and Trico has created its own life back within The Nest from which it and the boy escaped years before. The boy has never forgotten Trico, the whole game being a past experience narrated by the man, a story he fondly retells to the children of the village. They may be miles and miles apart, may never see each other ever again, but that bond still runs deep and with it the love they share. Man and beast, Trico and the boy.

The Last Guardian is my favorite game of all time for a reason, and it’s not just Trico itself or the beauty of the graphics and animation or the amazing ai behind the creature. The story of the game is so interesting and beautiful in such a bittersweet and tragic way that every time I think about it, it twists something in my gut, like a painful bout of nostalgia. I imagine it’s the kind of thing the boy must feel every time he thinks about Trico and the journey they made together.

Bunga and Beshte are so Beast Boy and Cyborg coded.

Also what's even funnier is that Cyborg and Rafiki even share the same VA (Khary Payton)

Kat being utterly distraught at the sight of claw marks on Marko’s back and bruises [hickeys] on his neck that her Mama left, and her little brain can only comprehend that Chrysta was trying to hurt him. So now Chrysta has to try and explain such a fragile subject to this sobbing toddler that she wasn't trying to hurt Marko, all while Kat just hugs him protectively, giving her Mother the nastiest glare she can muster.

Marko just finds it absolutely hilarious.
