I love stories about 'bad' people who still love and are loved. people who don't care if the people they love are bad. I love when the point isn't to say "you're not actually bad" but "even if you are, you still deserve love in your life"

#true neutrals are the best and i really want more of them in media #this is abt joel tlou (game specifically. i haven't watched the show)#we can argue all day about whether it was 'morally wrong' to kill the fireflies or whether their plan would have worked #but i love that he doesn't care if he's doing something terrible. all he cares about is her. and that gets to me #and that ellie absolutely knows he's lying to her but decides not to find out because she wants to be with him too #i feel like arguing whether joel was in the right is kinda missing the point #also don't get me wrong i love when the point is learning that you're not actually bad. those stories can also be wonderfully poignant.#my favorite character is one of those #but sometimes my messed up brain needs to hear 'you don't have to maintain 'good' to still be loved'
