*chanting* GHOSTS GHOSTS GHOSTS

It’s… well, believe it or not it’s sorta angsty, actually. Basically the synopsis is that back in Jackson, Ellie starts to see hallucinations of the people who she’s killed, directly or indirectly (that she blames herself for).

A DUNGEON MASTERS GUIDE TO TRAUMA??? HELLO??? TLOU X DND???

Oh my gosh, thanks so much😭🤣

Yeah, it’s basically a fic where Ellie, Dina, Jesse, and Cat play DnD with cameos from Joel, Maria, and Tommy who get roped into playing with them for a bit. It starts out very fluffy, but… well, it’s me so…

(Also, I have full characters for them lol)

I never saw any pacing issues with TLOU HBO, like the thought literally never crossed my mind. I talked to other people who’ve watched it without/before playing the video game, no one said anything about pacing issues. In fact basically the only people who complain about pacing issues are the people who played the games.

At first I took this as the rose tinted glasses toward the games like I have for the show, where the thing you experience first you’re probably going to like more, and people were just annoyed that it was different. Then I saw this post that made so much sense to me that it just changed my whole perspective on it.

I’m not sure how to find it now, but it basically said that it made sense people who played the games would feel like the pacing is off or that they were rushing through it, because when they played the game there were these long breaks in between the important scenes for gameplay. In the show there weren’t long breaks for fights or item collecting, so of course it feels rushed for the people who played the games.

For some reason I hadn’t thought of that, and it totally floored me.

Something that ticks me off is people comparing TLOU the game with TLOU HBO and saying it didn’t have as much emotional impact as the game, or that it didn’t “recapture the magic”.

Like… yeah of course it didn’t have as much impact for YOU. You played the game first, and saw it for the first time in the game. With TLOU HBO you saw it again, of course it’s gonna have less of an emotional impact on you when you don’t already know the scene.

Some people went into TLOU HBO expecting to feel exactly what they felt when they played the game, but that’s impossible. The show will never be able to “recapture the magic” for you, because you know the scene and what they’ll say. You already know the emotional beats and the plot.

That’s why ep 3 hit people who played the games and people who didn’t so hard, not just because it was an amazing story, but because you didn’t know what would happen. You didn’t already know the scenes or what they’d say, because of course it “doesn’t have the magic” when you already know exactly what comes next unlike when you played the games.

I watched TLOU HBO first, and all of the emotional beats struck their mark perfectly and hit me like a damn semi-truck.

“You’e not my daughter, and I sure as hell ain’t your dad”, “I swear”, “I got you baby girl”, they all wrecked me like they wrecked you when you played the game.

Of course the scene is gonna hit harder when you’re experiencing it for the first time, rather than the scenes being “worse” in the show.

Something TLOU HBO does SO well is show that Ellie’s just a kid. Even when she’s fighting for her life or in situations no kid should ever be in, she’s still just a kid. A kid who’s trying to act like an adult, sure, but just a kid.

She pretends she’s tough because that’s how she’s survived, but you get these wonderful, occasionally heartbreaking moments of seeing just how young she is.

You see it when she’s laughing with Riley or fascinated by a car. You see it when she’s making stupid decisions that she doesn’t know any better than to make. You see it when she tries to help Sam and has no idea what to do, and when she’s lost and scared while Joel’s incapacitated. You see it when she breaks down in her father-figures arms after learning a new horrible thing about humanity, and in her curiosity and naivety and recklessness.

She’s a kid so out of her depth, with nothing but the weight of the world on her shoulders and the lessons she’s learned from living in a world where everyone’s doing awful things to survive. She tries so hard to pretend to be in control, but you see these glimmers of the kid that she is, and her good intentions and hope that the world tries and tries to take away from her.

I, of mostly sound body and spirit, request that if I’m ever to die, someone post a new work on my AO3 that says “sorry, she died, ongoing stories postponed forever” because don’t I want my fanfic buddies to think I ghosted them. Amen or whatever you say in a will.

My statement is: you have some very creative fics and you're fun to be in a discord server with.

My question is: would you ever do a super fluffy, no angst, it's a wonderful no Outbreak World, fic for Ellie and Joel?

Thank you so much for your question and statementization!

Statement: Awww thank you so much😭❤️

Question: Hmmm, I might actually! It would be really fun to step outside my comfort zone and write something not depressing lol

LOOK AT THIS GUY!! LOOK AT HIM!!

I LOVE THIS ZOMBIE SO MUCH!!! He’s like… gorgeous, in this scary way. The cordyceps growing out of him, the way he moves, it’s just amazing.

Not to mention the prosthetics, makeup and effects that went into this. Seriously I cannot express my love for this big guy.

This is a brilliant analysis, thanks for making me cry at 4 o’clock on a Saturday

So I hope we're gonna talk about how the choice to NOT have Joel be the one to pull Ellie off of David, to NOT pull her out of the burning restaurant, isn't just a change for no reason. It's A Choice

Joel can't save her. Joel can't protect her. Not forever. And certainly not here. His worst fears for his own inability, his worst fears for Ellie, came true and he wasn't even there for it. Only Ellie could save Ellie and she experienced David alone, ALL alone. She has to drag herself out of that burning building. ALONE. It's sadder and bleaker and it centers her experience even more than ever

Like, I always loved the scene in the game where Joel makes her stop stabbing David, where he hugs her in the middle of a burning building, but I also have to ask myself if that even means anything for either character, especially in the context of the themes that have been built up in the show (Ellie wanting autonomy and independence but facing the realities of violence/conflict, Joel aging and doubting himself and failing to physically protect 2 daughters from the violence of this world despite actually managing to be emotionally available and nurturing).

Ellie hitting her lowest point entirely by herself jives better with what's coming in season 2 and ugh I wish that it was being talked about more beyond people wishing that it was 1:1 with the game
