whoever this beloved anon was I am so touched by your kindness! You definitely didn’t have to do this but I am so happy you enjoy this idea and I will happily expand upon it for you!

this is just a collection of word vomit bullet points for the time being but I will happily answer any and all questions about this pair!!

warnings: violence, angst, child death (Sarah Miller), foul language, the same warnings that apply to tlou, reader is Sarah's mom and described as having similar features to her.

So the general Idea is that you and Joel are happily married before the outbreak.

You had been Sarah's mother, his high school sweetheart he got pregnant when neither of you were old enough to have any reaction to the pregnancy test other than a fucking panic attack in one another’s arms. but you made it work

you both worked but made time for one another and your sweet girl, going to museums every other weekend and joel insisting on swooping you off for a date every now and then

nothing special. He knows you’re more of a diner gal than anything too fancy that makes you both feel out of place.

On his birthday in 2003, you had planned to tell him that you were pregnant again. But the memories of your own fears of motherhood from all those years ago begin to swirl through your head again and you get cold feel. deciding to tell him the morning after

it is his birthday afterall, you want to focus on him.

but when you’re woken up in the middle of the night because tommy needs to get bailed out, Joel kisses you sweetly one last time before promising he’ll be back and you can’t shake the feeling that something bad is happening.

its you that shakes sarah awake that night. shouting at her to put on her shoes when she’s still rubbing the sleep from her eyes because you’ve been listening to the radio for the past two hours, calling joel again and again and again praying for him to fucking pick up but to no avail.

Sarah, bless your little girl’s bleeding heart is the one who insists you check on the adler’s against your better suspicions and when you find the eldest looming over her daughter, blood and sinew dripping from her mouth, you grab your daughter hand and burst into a full sprint until something slams into your back and sends you tumbling onto their front lawn

its how joel finds you, struggling to keep the once sweet old woman, whose now nothing more than dead eyes and gnashing teeth straining to snap at your pulse point as you push against her while sarah shrieks before your husband runs forward and cracks her skull with a wrench.

there’s hardly a moment of pause, just enough for him to pull you up and into his arms before he’s ushering you both into the car with an urgency.

when the truck crashes, you get separated from them. Perhaps at Tommy’s side when the flames rise and create a wall, separating you from your husband, or maybe pulled into the mob of chaos when trying to escape from those already infected-

all joel knows is that you promise you’ll find him: just get sarah to safety and you’ll meet him at the river

Poor thing is already so frightened, held in her father’s arms with tears streaming down her face insisting they can’t leave you they just can’t but her father kisses her forehead and reassures her its going to be okay

“we just need to be brave, okay babygirl? Your mama’s real tough, she’s gonna be alright.”

he isn’t sure if he’s saying it to his daughter or himself.

but when he comes to the river you aren’t there. Only a soldier who points a gun at the scared little girl in his arms and then he loses everything

its when the light is gone from his daughter’s eyes that he realizes. His voice cracked and raw from sobbing that he looks around to see his brother with drawn in shoulders and tears in his eyes but his wife is nowhere to be found.

Tommy says you got lost in the chaos. Everything was so loud, so sudden that he turned around and suddenly you weren’t there.

Joel wants to go back but its Tommy that stops him, that dulls the red in his vision to a sad faded pink because his brother points at the orange horizon not too far from them, so much of the city is already in flames.

“We’re gonna find her, but not there.”

So Joel searches. for the first year spent in the world post-outbreak its all he did.

He became a smuggler because of it.

Information came at a price and he needed to be able to fucking pay it, whether it be in blood or ration cards. He was willing to do anything to find you or any thin thread that lead your way.

But it’s Tommy that asks him to give up. Not in those words of course.

The youngest Miller knows better than to say something so cruel that would make his brother, the only person he has in this world turn on him.

But his voice is worried when he asks him one night in Boston when he hasn’t even had the chance to wash the blood from his knuckles

“You think she would have wanted this for you?”

the fight that followed his words was brutal. Vicious insults and scarred fists slamming against each brother until they're both too tired and bloody to continue. Each leaning against a wall for support and Tommy’s wavering voice breaking the silence.

“I don’t know where she is, Joel. But I do know you're gonna get yourself killed if you keep lookin’ for her.”

All he can do is nod.

It’s a few days later when he meets Tess. Who has heard plenty of stories about the elder miller’s brutality and wants him to put that muscle to good use for some extra profit.

It begins his new life. One that empty and cold but one he can live.

Until of course, Ellie comes along. The sweet and incredibly opinionated girl that makes him become something akin to the man he thought died twenty years ago.

its when he’s traveling with Ellie, that it happens. When a warm familiarity has settled between the two because so much blood and pain has been shared he can’t help but see her as something close, something bright even though all he can force himself to utter in her reference is “cargo”

when theyre traveling through the woods as Ellie chatters away, probing his memory about a movie that may or may not have existed thirty years ago because her descriptions of the plot are incredibly odd he hears a voice shout for them to stop and finds himself staring at a man- no, a boy- pointing a gun at them.

Ellie stills, but Joel can see enough to know that from the lanky figure and dimpled face that he’s young. Maybe twenty, twenty-two at the oldest, but his eyes dart from Joel to Ellie with a pinprick of fear that allows Joel the time to charge forward and slam him to the ground before wrestling the gun from his hands.

He has enough to time to tuck it under the stranger’s chin before he hears the sound of the safety being turned off and finds himself looking up and seeing a gun just inches from his face.

Joel’s head whips around when Ellie’s voice calls out his name in fear, he turns to see another stranger holding her a gun point, shoulders drawn back and a shadow cast over their face by the had obstructing their identity.

“You hurt one of mine, I hurt one of yours. That a fair deal?”

Its takes him a moment to recognize you. It’s been so long since he’s heard your voice, the sweet tease when you would poke at him each time he woke up late despite the fact that you reminded him to set his alarm the night before, the times you’d chide him with a harsh “Joel Miller!” whispered in public anytime he was able to grab you a bit too passionately to be appropriate in public but the laughter in your voice let him know you were never truly mad at him. You didn’t know how to be.

But that sweetness is buried under a cold rasp that cuts through the air as you point a rifle at the scared little girl in front of you.

“You think I won’t?” You’re older now, skin covered in scars from a life he didn’t know you got the chance to live and your eyes are cold as they regard your husband. “Put the gun down and get the fuck off of him, I won’t repeat myself.”

Joel mumbles your name in awe. The woman he loved, the woman he mourned the one he fought so hard to find stands before him like some sort of hallucination and suddenly the world feels like its spinning until you bark orders at him again.

“You’ve got five seconds Joel, make a fucking choice before I make it for you.”

He looks down and realizes the boy under him, the one with the bleeding nose and snarling face has your eyes and his dimples.

“One.”

The one above him has Sarah’s hair. Soft brown curls that shine under the sun.

“Two”

Wait. No, they both do.

“Three.”

Twins. Jesus fucking Christ you had twins.

“Four.”

Joel holds the rifle up above his head and the one boy standing snatches it from his grasp, tossing it to the ground and kicking it far from his reach. He slowly stands, allowing your son- dear god your son- to scramble to his feet.

Your voice softens just for a moment. “You okay, Duke?”

Blood stains the bottom half of his face from where Joel slammed his fist into the boy’s nose just moments before, but he nods nonetheless.

Now, they both stand on one side of you and he can see the resemblance clear as day the same way he would whenever Sarah was by your side.

When you order him to hand over his bag, he does so without question before telling Ellie to do the same.

She watches him with wide eyes, her hands still up in the air but gaping at her companion as if he had grown a second head.

“Joel!” “Just do it, alright?”

He doesn’t miss the way you watch their interaction with narrowed eyes until she tosses her bag to you and you slowly lower your gun.

“Now, you want to tell me what the fuck you think you’re doin’ at my home?”

Hey everyone, since tumblr is dead set on running itself into the ground I have made 2 backups! One on Twitter (ew. I know.) and one on Bluesky.

Left is Twitter. Right is Bluesky.

I AM NOT LEAVING TUMBLR BTW!

At least not as of now. These are just backup accounts and will remain mostly inactive unless I need them. I might throw a couple of posts on there but it won’t be anything I haven’t already posted here!

Because of the nature of those platforms I will most likely have to upload everything as videos and add the needed links and transcription in replies. This would be a lot more work so let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

#and yes I turned off the AI scrapping shit #but AI companies do whatever they want #and tumblr is just after money #not adding any of the filtering tags to this cause it’s important #might reblog a couple of times as well #just to make sure everyone sees it #this is also here in the event tumblr ever randomly decides to ban me or some shit #so you know where to find me #im also on YouTube. username is @huh0069

Russian pop music recommendations by Katya

#some of my favorites #tbh I don’t think she means for any of these lyrics to be taken literally #they’re mostly on theme like about friendship and flowers etc #and the actual translation isn’t 100%#I do love the ‘I’ll just eat you’ line though lol #also the last song she’s been using a lot lately for herself too #so I think she just likes it!#she may not be fluent but she’s definitely conversational #so she knows exactly what these words mean #it’s just how she expresses her love #I added the most recent one because I had to #tired to get less filter and more back muscles #t&k

my favourite.. well i guess it could be called "happening" in media, i think is when I'm reading about some edgy/dark, horror-adjacent "everyone's constantly having a bad time" setting or story, in a book or a game, and one if not several of the guys in there are just gay offhand. it's a very specific thing i enjoy when its in these horrible (in-universe, emotionally) environments but they're still there

no homophobia no titilation. romantic relationships (even het ones) have zero presence or importance really. but Just Letting You Know: this character is probably a closeted lesbian

diversity win: this mercenary is bisexual! he mentions he has sex with men. diversity ????: a coin flip rng roll can sever both of his arms and crush his sanity for the rest of the game. diversity i-don't-know: this can happen to anyone so its not because hes into men, you just have shit rolls

#i don't know what it is but i...like? appreciate it?? yeah its just kind of there. this is not the kind of Media where its important at all #its so funny but also good 4 you. sex with a man before we go get infected with the parasitic horrors of the brain and try to kill our pals #yaoi in mortal peril. yuri in mortal peril. normal in mortal peril. i see no difference: the horrors are unending #darkest dungeon #wolfsmund #lisa the painful #fear and hunger #side comment: i was watching a video particularly on the last one and i find it funny that the reviewer added a warning about it #do not play this game if you're sensitive about anything. what do you mean? anythinh. This Game Contains Scenes type of warning #but also thats the exact warning i need to give whenever i talk about Wolfsmund. if you have any issues..about anything just don't look tbh #sorry do i seem like a wweirdo for saying WE NEED A TRANSMASC KNIGHT WHO GETS HIS HEAD BITTEN OFF TOO or some shit HDKFBBJE #body horror #gore #ACH SORRY i shouldve prolly added those tags for filtering out my weird text for ppl at the FRONT of the post. do you still like me.#armour clanking

shippers of incest/age gap/any fringe "dark" content anyone might find upsetting: tag their shit, often tell you exactly what they're about in the first line of their bios so you can decide for yourself whether you look at their content, etc.

people who hate these shippers and simply MUST tell you about it: post whatever cutesy platonic art/edit they want to make with an added AND THOSE FREAKS THAT SHIP THESE CHARACTERS ROMANTICALLY BETTER NOT EVEN *LOOK* AT MY POSTS (no tagged warnings anywhere whatsoever).

I'm just saying. as someone who personally does want to go through fandom ignoring certain elements... one of these groups insists on shoving them in my face with no regard for my boundaries. and it's not the "freaks".

#i mostly just roll my eyes at those kinds of ''dni'' added to the bottom of a post #but sometimes it happens to be pertinent to the very ships i filter/choose not to follow some blogs i otherwise like over and it's.#why do i even bother if these busybodies are going to do this just to appear pious jfc #talking to the void #fandom nonsense #bitter lau tag

Hello! I love your crocodad au! I wanted to ask how do you plan stuff out for comics? Cause you have arcs figured out and whenever I try to plan it ends up as 3 ideas in a hat

this au started as 3 ideas in hat! at first i kind of wrote everything that i came up with, funny stuff and a few specific key moments without much of anything around. then i kind of pad around it, trying to figure out how to get these few moments.

started the au with the just the concept of croc raising luffy and what that could entail to, then thought of robin being there and the betrayal. everything went from there afterwards.

comics are great because you can make them somewhat episodic, im not good at telling 100% linear story, it's much easier to start with something episodic where each comics can be their own thing then slowly brings everything together. put some foreshadowing here, bring back this detail there. that's why the prologue isn't drawn in chronological order. 1) because i hadn't planned the whole thing at first, could draw in whatever order i felt like while i came up with the narrative. 2) because it's more fun to draw the funny part first, the shorter comics and really just putting the general idea of what the setting is like so i can work of that.

for example i decided without thinking that luffy got shot so he could keep a scar next to his eye, but different from the canon one so ppl could tell au and canon luffy apart. then i realized how much that event could influence the rest of story and characters, the themes and all.

what im saying is a few things started without too much thoughts behind them, put them there for fun or for convenience then went back to see how it could impact the story and characters and developed on that. there's a lot of ideas i ended up scratching because it didn't work, weren't actually that interesting or fun to me.

i've got a text file on my laptop and phone where i write anything that comes to mind, never delete any of the abandoned idea because i can always come back to them and take what was really interesting about them, reshape them entirely into something that works better. the notes can be a single sentence that will make no sense in a few weeks or a detailed plan of what a comic or event could be like, detailing each characters feelings and the setting it takes place in.

whenever i get hyped about something that won't happen until forever i go draw it, that way i won't forget about it and everytime i'll look at it i'll get all hyped again to keep working till we get there.

my process is kind of "write shit for kicks and giggles then go back and make it make sense."

#crocau ask #i dont start by thinking 'what are the themes i want to explore' but more 'wouldnt that be fun/angsty?' and themes shows up by themselves #there's recurring themes in the au i have with most of my stories. there's some parts that are vent. sometimes a bit straightforwardly othe #time the reflection of a reflection with a filter added on. the most important thing is to have fun cause if i spend sm time on smth #im bored of/dont like then whats the point! if i pressure myself into doing smth that Has to be good i'll just block myself from doing #anything at all. going about this au with a 'just do it. doesnt matter if its good or coherent just do smth and have fun with it'.

TGC needs to add a setting to adjust the brightness of the game.

If they can make the light in the camera be adjustable, they might as well add that to the whole game.

Heck, if they can, make a toggle for the flight thing. Bring back the good old ✨sparkles✨ or something, so everyone's eyes won't have a stroke when flying in Golden Wasteland or Vault of Knowledge.

Goodnight skyblr. ✌

#fr tho #whats so wrong about adding that to the game?#they added filters to glasses #and yet they didn't put that in the season pass camera?!?!#just some pretty decorations and that's it????#and yes I know the current light trail is supposed to be a lore-thing(?)#but COME ON #does TGC even know that a part of their fanbase have sensitive eyes????#- _ -#charlotte speaks #charlotte speaks (in the tags)#sky: children of the light #sky children of the light #thatgamecompany #that game sky #skyblr #sky:cotl #thatskygame #sky cotl

funny how a bunch of the same people I saw sharing posts about how theyre

“tired of people writing off the american south as just a bunch of racist, homophobic, maga right wing assholes who deserve all the pain the new abortion and medical care restriction and mask ban laws bring when it finally affects them. yeah theres a LOT of them down here, and its scary as shit and thanks to social media now its pervasive throughout the whole country, but theres still MORE good people, just trying to survive down here. living their lives and trying to push back where they can. at the mercy of a government that doesnt care about anything except securing as much power and control as possible, not even caring if it hurts its own people in the process. so fuck you all for cheering for COVID tearing theough these communities because its going to hurt EVERYONE who lives down here, not just the ‘bad guys’ you all love to hate.”

are now sharing posts about how

“these pictures and articles and videos of racist, hateful israelis making fun of the genocide and deaths of palestinians prove israel isnt a bunch of ‘innocent civillians’ and ‘forced into military service’ just look at how these videos prove they’re all complicit! israelis dont care they love it theyre cheering for it!!! fuck all of them!!!”

and im just sitting here like

… (-_-)

LIKE!!! ABSOLUTELY, ITS FUCKING VILE!!!! and by all means make people aware of the bullshit going on there just like you would here but for fucks sake we do not need to overcorrect so fucking hard we swing right back into the “-because theyre all heartless barbarians and terrorists and enjoy killing children” propaganda just oh now its fine because its against the REAL bad guys

its like… could you imagine if thats how we (americans) treated chinese people after hong ko- oh wait thats not a good example. could you imagine if thats how we treated iraqi people after nine elev- oh wait thats not a good example. could you imagine if thats how we treated russians dueing the cold w- oh wait thats not a good example. could you imagine of thats how we treated the vietnamese and koreans after their respective w- oh wait thats not a good example. could you imagine if thats how we treated the japanese after pearl harb- oh wait thats not a good example. could you im-

#my for you page is un USEable right now #but all i can do is keep adding new words to filter #the way i was literally about to rb something to that effect of ‘and heres some of the hateful fucking bullshit going on’#only to open the whole post as find that last little rb at the end extolling it as a GOTCHA!#SEE! THERES NO ‘INNOCENTS’ IN ISRAEL is just #i threw up in my mouth a bit
