Bella Ramsey - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
do not hmu i'm absolutely inconsolable about sam and ellie.
when i first heard about them lowering sam's age i was admittedly kinda confused abt that bc i felt that a reason why he and ellie worked so well was because they were abt the same age.
but it works in the same way that bill and frank work (see last week's tangent lol). long story short i'm obsessed with all the changes. i'm obsessed with the way ellie was like a big sister to him — reading and acting out the comic books to him, making him laugh, playing soccer with him, putting her arm around him, promising him she'll stay up with him. character wise for ellie it's fucking gr8 because it sort of puts her in joel's position of wanting to protect someone else whose younger than you but their age gap isn't so big that goofing around with him doesn't feel unnatural or like she's just humoring him for his sake. she's still a kid too.
which really just goes to show how fucking great bella ramsey and keivonn woodard are. i was completely sold on bella by ep. 3 (specifically when joel was teaching ellie gun safety and he pulled on her gun and she did get little giggle that felt so natural and contrasted so well with the seriousness of the situation and the weapon she had in her hands) but jfc their scenes with keivonn were so fucking good. it all felt so natural. they were two kids stuck in a shitty situation doing what kids always do: trying to have fun. and their scenes together never felt forced.
long story short uh amazing ep im in tears
tlou ep. 6 first impressions
abt to walk into the sea with a pocket full of rocks over last night’s tlou ep. (spoilers below for the show up to ep6 but not the end of the game below. tdlr: godamn was this ep. fucking gr8)
i was so worried about the argument scene bc it’s one of if not the most important bit in the game for joel and ellie but godamn they did it justice and then some. “do you give a shit about me or not?” “of course i do.” no hesitation on either of their parts — yes he loves her and that’s the fucking issue. putting ashley johnson’s improvised push in the script was *chefs kiss*. it also totally works w/ how much more pent-up anger and frustration they gave ellie in the show. the og “you are treading on some might thin ice” line will def. be sorely missed but pedro’s simple and abrupt “no” the moment ellie tries to bring up sarah sent chills up my spine godbless.
and where tf do i begin w/ joel’s monoglue to tommy? pedro pascal u beautiful bastard u. go get that fucking emmy man. the argument scene is abt how joel is ellie’s safety, but his monolouge is about how ellie is joel’s weakness. how her relying on him scares the shit out of him. as far as joel’s concerned failing people is the only thing he’s good for. he failed sarah and he failed tess; why the hell wouldn’t he end up failing ellie? and he know’s that anything happening to her will kill him. he’s desprate and pleading and fucking crying dawgggggg.
i love love love how they did the ending scene for jackson. zero hesitation on ellie’s part to go with him. “you’ve got a right to choose-” “let’s go.” “okay.” its so fucking good and such gr* foreshadowing.
literally the only issue i’ve got off the top of my head is how quick the college segment went by. the ending with joel getting impaled and him and ellie exploring the college felt a little rushed, but def. not to the extent that it ruins to ep or even really bring it down all that much just bc everything before was so gr8.
sorry i’m rambling but this one is def. one of my favorites in the whole show so far.
just to confirm. YES. I DID. A LOT.
i’m gonna cry for sam and henry so much oh my god
"he's not my dad-"
"she's not my daughter-"
JUST U FUCKING WAIT.
joel did the right thing, i stand by that. the world was already so far gone, and ellie is joel’s world. so technically he did “save the world”. plus he doesn’t owe anyone anything. so much was taken away from him and he could not stand to lose another person he cares about. i LOVE JOEL MILLER!!!!
Ideas
I have an Idea for a series of Tlou, but I still don’t know with who, its so hard to pick and base of which one is its a slightly different story.
Who would you like?
Or if you have someone else i would take it in consideration 🥹🫶🏻
