Excuse Me I Had A Half Thought Out Idea About Johns History And Arthur Getting Into Bar Fights So I Made

Excuse me I had a half thought out idea about John’s history and Arthur getting into bar fights so I made this quick thing

can someone please get these hoes under control i'm BUSY

this is the money garf. reblog for untold pasta and riches to come your way

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

the last of us was so good at distracting us with the beautiful love story of old gay men that we all forgot about how ellie ferally stabbed that trapped, infected man while staring into his eyes and didn't mention it at all afterward despite asking joel "you ever kill one? was it hard? like, knowing they were people once?"

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.
