And then they both went back to Tommy’s commune and that was it, it was a bittersweet ending but a great one. The end. Story over!

playing tlou part ii again

do you think when ellie climbs on the dinosaur and joel has the slight panic in his voice, he was thinking “oh my god i took out a whole hospital for this girl just to fall off a goddamn dinosaur and die” bc i think that’s one of the thoughts he may have had during that moment

[strmborns]

Talking about the game, TLOU Part II never happened to me. I think game wise it was awesome but story wise it was terrible (that’s my opinion, don’t come for me). So in my mind Ellie and Dina are raising JJ in a farm close to Jackson, and Joel is aging like fine wine, that has been through hell, and he often visits his grandson. Yes, Ellie found out the truth about the events in the hospital, and yes she was really mad, but she forgave Joel because his decisions allowed her to have a family.

This story gave me so much more that I could ever have imagined, so yeah, I refuse to believe Ellie, the main character, was left with nothing but sorrow. Maybe Joel does die by Abby’s hands. But I need to believe Ellie grew and she got closure, whatever that means to her. The game doesn’t give us that, in the game there is no character development for her, and despise all the love she had in her life still believes she is not deserving of any of those things. So yeah, maybe my version of the facts are too far fetched, but I need to believe in that, because maybe her life isn’t a fairy tale, but Ellie Williams deserved better than what the game gave us.

i really hope they'll use this show to rewrite tlou part. ii. the sequel destroyed the series completely... 💀

this might be controversial but i actually really liked tlou part II. to me, it felt like the only logical sequel so i don't know how else they could've made a part II that didn't upset people.

spoilers for the last of us part II under the cut!! don't click if you haven't seen or played it! i warned ya!

killing joel was a ballsy move and it fucking hurt, especially the violent way it happened, but i think it was necessary to see ellie grow, if that makes sense. if both ellie and joel survived once again, in a world where, to be fair, it's fucking hard to stay alive, it wouldn't have made sense. And killing off ellie would have made the entire first game redundant. So killing off joel, a man who has 'fulfilled' his purpose, isn't that random to me.

anyway, if this isn't about the joel thing, but about abby, ellie & dina, and more bigotry, kindly, fuck off!

the parallels between what henry did and kathleen’s reaction to that and what joel did at the end of the game and abby’s reaction to that… wow

[technoturian]

I see a lot of people saying the change to Henry’s story really works because it strengthens Joel’s arc but like...

All I’m thinking is, Ellie seeing that woman and what she did and how it brought ruin to everything for nothing and still doing what she does in Part II makes ZERO sense to me.

tlou part ii spoilers

walking through joel’s house will never not make me cry. someone’s living is a reflection of who they are, and all i see when i walk through joel’s house is a domestic family man.

like all of his favorite things are in front of you in the first few rooms you walk into. all the wood carvings, the cowboy hat on the coat hangar, the picture from ellie front and center in the fireplace, the museum pamphlet, all the western art, the pictures of his family.

what really kills me though is all of the things that are unfinished. the dishes left on the table in the kitchen, the bathrooms he was working on, the woodworking stuff upstairs… he had every intention of coming home.

naughty dog count your days goddamn

“I’m not who I was. I’m weak.” 

This line from Joel in Episode 6 completely killed me. Joel IS old, yes. He’s 55 years old and he has PTSD. But he’s not weak. Make no mistake, Marlene chose him for a reason, and you don’t survive for 20 years without being cunning, fiercely intelligent and incredibly strong.

It’s an absolutely genius thing to put at the 2/3rds point of the show because we’re preceding Joel’s weakest moment---the narrative darkest hour, where he is so weak he needs Ellie to take care of him---but this also precedes his two greatest feats in the series: if we follow the game’s events, Episode 8 is Joel slaughtering the cannibals, and Episode 9 depicts Joel almost single-handedly annihilating the Fireflies. 

Joel’s love for Ellie has made him afraid. He believes this has made him weak, and in some ways, one could argue it has. But as the finale will demonstrate, that raw, primal, parental fear also makes him the scariest fucker alive.

I’m reminded of this line from Lev in Part II: “Only when we are weak may I carry my true strength.” 

(Not coincidentally, that game also displays Abby at her absolute strongest and most cunning during Days 2 and 3, when Lev and Yara’s lives are in immediate danger.)

This franchise is FUCKING KILLING ME
