“you have no idea what loss is.” ~ Joel
“everyone i have cared for has either died or left me… everyone fucking except for you.” ~ Ellie
okay joel, she gets it. she gets what loss is now. stop being a silly goose and get up. jokes over. 😀
Nah I don't think y'all get it
"it wasn't time that did it"
HE'S SAYING THAT THE ABSOLUTE WORST PAIN IN THE WORLD. IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE. IN ANY PARENT'S LIFE. THE TYPE OF PAIN AND LOSS THAT MAKES YOU NOT EVEN SEE THE POINT OF BREATHING ANYMORE. THAT MAKES YOU HATE THE WORLD AND EVERYONE IN IT. THAT LEAVES YOU CLOSED OFF AND UNABLE TO EVEN SMILE. WAS HEALED BY HER. THAT IT WASN'T TIME OR ANY OTHER BULLSHIT PEOPLE COME UP WITH. IT WAS HER. IT WAS HER STUPID PUNS AND SILLY FACES AND HER BRIGHT LAUGHTER THAT GAVE HIM A REASON TO WANT TO BREATHE AGAIN. THAT SHE IS HIS ONLY REASON TO FIGHT AGAIN. I feel ill. I feel insane. Somebody sedate me.
joel saying “it wasn’t time that did it” while staring hopelessly at ellie literally ruined my entire life
A child digging a grave she believes she should inhabit
Or one she believes should be empty if she didn't fail.
Me after episode 5 of The Last of Us
Joel: It’s best if we keep our pasts to ourselves 😠
Ellie: okay
Joel: So anyway my brother was in Desert Storm because he just couldn’t help being a hero and then he joined the Fireflies for the same reason what a fucking dweeb you know, also me and Tess and Tommy used to ambush people and it’s clearly deeply painful for me to recall but oh well—oh hey when you said it wasn’t your first time hurting someone like that what did u mean that’s wild do you wanna talk about it ):
Ellie: 👁️👄👁️
im digging my grave already let's go mfs
Waking was strange. A sensation reminiscent of emerging from murky waters, his vision slowly shifting from darkness, to blurry muddled shapes. His hearing, already beaten over the years, was muffled for a moment. Made it impossible to pinpoint the distant footsteps until they were right by his ear – his good ear, like the person knew his left one worked better.
Their voice, achingly familiar, pulled Joel upwards out of the murky waters his body had been trapped within. He could still hear Ellie's distant cries, the sound of the golf club –
No. This wasn't that cold hard floor, the surface underneath him was soft and warm. He couldn't hear shouting or crying, only... Ellie. With a pained exhale, Joel forced his eyes fully open. As his vision cleared, brown hair and worried eyes came into view. The gentle squeeze to his hand was a notable contrast to the slight bite of her words, and the man's lips twitched upwards.
" Hey kiddo, " Joel's voice is tired, croaky. The movement tugs on his healing cuts and bruises, but the ache clears his mind. Let him focus on his daughter Ellie. He longs to reach out, to comfort the teen, but his limbs are all heavy and disconnected. Won't cooperate yet.
" Sorry to scare you.. just needed some rest, that's all. Are... are you alright? " It was easy to forget that he was the one in the hospital bed, concern for her consuming him.
He didn't know much, remembered hearing someone mention that he'd been unconscious for a long while – and his heart ached that he'd left Ellie alone for that long, had missed so much. Joel knew Ellie well enough to know chances were she'd done something reckless - but whether she'd tell him was a different story.
@fracturals x Joel from this Ellie
It takes all she has not to start crying when she's finally allowed to see Joel, the doctors baffled but done with all their tests; he's a beast, obviously, she knew he'd wake up. She knew. It's why she refused to go sleep at home - but of course he woke up while she was in the bathroom - and why she's still there in Jackson, she had to see him with her own eyes. Because he had to. He had to. "That was one f.ucking way to make me forgive you, Joel," her voice shakes, she can't help it. Okay, she wasn't completely sure he'd wake up, but he had to, right? Where would she be now if he hadn't? Ellie holds onto one of those little pieces of his body that isn't broken, and squeezes it gently. "You took way too long to wake up. Waaay too long, you a.sshole." He's actually going to live, so he doesn't get sweet words from her, no sir. There's no better way to let him know they are cool and that he'll be fine, if you ask her.
the struggle of wanting to watch tlou s2 but not wanting to see joel's death
