I've decided to watch The Last of Us in the same way I rewatch John Carpenter's The Thing (1982), which means I'm only watching the parts with the cool special effects and skipping literally everything else!

Like, I'm sure all of the grayish beige misery that makes up the rest of the show is quite well done, but I don't wanna see it.

The main character of the show I am watching is gonna be the fungus. Anything that is not the fungus is of no consequence to the plot line I am following. Fungus don't care if little girl dies. Fungus gotta fung! And fung it shall!!

The plot line I am following, by the way, is "me, Jack, getting better at horror art and monster design, which means if I like these effects enough I will go back through every episode and screenshot literally ALL the frames I liked and then arrange the best 40 or so on a grid in my art program so I can color correct them for optimal tracing and art study. And also sometimes Pedro Pascal is in my periphery lookin' cute." - It's one of my favorite shows!!! Small fandom tho.

#tlou #the last of us #pedro Pascal #original #I'm sure it is well done but i can't handle that kind of stress #also i don't want to watch any more than the fun parts of a long-ass drama in which the color scheme is - as far as i can tell #'beige. army green. puke yellow (spicy beige). the greyish brown of a grimy window'#oooooo! i am enjoying the jerky movements of the infected so far!#sigh. the one thing i can never truly recreate in my static illustrations is upsetting movement!#and also like. music.#you can show approximations of most types of movement and this is fine except for movement that is also suppose to inspire #a gut reaction of either beauty or revulsion. i can illustrate an incredible dance and i can write out the music but oh to be able #to tell my stories in animation!#the bit with the dog staring is great. now that i COULD do #fuck that is a terrific idea for horror - the ant fungus that is the most upsetting of all fungi - i love the fx so far #this child actress is v talented and that is exactly why i can't watch the rest of the show. too upsetting. i hate zombie stuff tbh.#so claustrophobic and bleak. LOVE the monster design element tho #oh shit these bitches are FAST ZOMBOS #omg that girl died SO FAST #listen i know WHY that's the color scheme but it's still a no from me y'all
