I think there’s something so deeply and intimately and morbidly true about The Last of Us’s primary thesis which is that humanity’s fatal flaw, in that very Shakespearian way, is that we are destined to care too much about one another so much so that we discard the collective entirely. like we have such a capacity to love the human race and humanity as a whole, to grow our communities and govern cities how we know best and foster such connection with the masses which we are part of, but it’s overtaken by our capacity to love even just a single other person. like one human can come into your life that creates such an intrinsic and passionate love in you— or maybe two people or a family’s worth or any small number— and you suddenly would burn entire villages down just to keep them safe.

joel doesn’t blink twice murdering to find ellie. he doesn’t look back when he decides to do what he does at the hospital later on. he has no remorse about any of it it, because this one girl has grown to mean more to him than any possible greater good could ever mean. and it’s reciprocal. ellie would— and does— do anything she can to help him, save him, protect him, and, eventually, to avenge him. because that’s what you do when you love someone. not when you love people. when you love someone.

and it’s selfish, in a way??? because we love these people and would do so much for them because they mean more to us than other strangers do. it’s exactly like an iteration of the trolley problem, actually. one track has your daughter on it and one track has fifty people. don’t even try telling me you wouldn’t go onto track B if it meant saving your daughter and her puppy dog eyes from the whimpering and pain and fear. The Last of Us says yes, you would. I would. we all would. and like yeah that is our greatest weakness, that we have such a unique ability to love a handful of people so deeply that our compassion towards community and strangers and the bigger collective starts to slip from view. but goddamn what a fucking great fatal flaw it is to have. we are all going to die and the world will burn because we loved another person too much.

How enhypen members would be sneaking out with you during the night time to explore! (First time ;))

Enhypen ot7 x reader

Warnings :

Genre : fluff

Word Count : tbh idek but it’s pretty short for each member

(I wrote this really quickly I hope you enjoyyyy)

Heeseung!

Heeseung would tell you that it’s a bad idea at first, but you end up doing it anyways because you’re a baddie.

He wouldn’t encourage you to sneak out but he feels special that you’re willing to risk getting in trouble for him 😋

Would definitely make sure you DONT get caught because he wouldn’t want you to be in trouble because and make a bad impression in front of your parents...

So he would definitely be alert the whole time!

^^like for example he’d be paranoid and check the time every few seconds, and would hold your hand tight so you dont get lost or wander off without him knowing.

Takes you home carefully with a good night kiss goodbye then has to part ways, thinks about you the whole way home :(

Jay!

Would definitely be surprised that you want to sneak out, since this is your first time he kind of thinks it’s a bad idea but then he’s like oh it’ll be fun don’t worry I’ll make sure we won’t get caught.

Would definitely go downtown, get some food, take lots of pictures to post on Instagram.

Hugs you while walking to make sure you feel safe with him since its so late outside.

Worries a lot about you, constantly asks if you’re tired and want to go home,

You two have a good time nonetheless,, this is something you guys would be looking back at in the future 😔

Jake!

Ya’ll probably went to the park or smtg ngl he probably brought Layla

Didn’t know you snuck until you told him, is super shocked and would be like ‘’’gasp “no wayyyy”

Clueless boy thought your parents knew about it buut apparently not, he’d be the type of bf not to let you sneak out bc/ it’s too ‘risky’

^that’s why you didn’t tell him until last minute ;p

Would back hug you and kiss you on your cheeks the how night to ‘warm’ you up, but its just an excuse to kiss you tbh

Probably run around the park playing with Layla till really late at night 😃

“Uhh y/n i think we should go home... it’s 2 am...” takes you home safely cuz he’s a good bf

Sunghoon!

Would be down to sneak out, y’all would probably go to skating rink or like a walk downtown or at hongdae streets together

Is really good at it maybe? Idk i feel like he’s really good at things like this,,, very much sneaky vibes i dunno

Would hold your hand all night as well, if not then you guys would just walk side my side... lowkey kinda awkward but then makes the mood brighter by just smiling at you

Steals glances at you every 5 seconds

I feel like it would be really cute for you guys to go to the skating rink as your first time sneaking out at night.

Someone please make a oneshot ff abt sunghoon and y/n sneaking out for the first time to go to the skating rink

Sunoo!

Would also be down to sneak out but is very shocked that you even came up with the idea since you never snuck out before..

He’d be like WHAHHHT YOU WANT TO SNEAK OUT?? WIITH MEEE??

He’s so cute but he loves the fact that you’d do something so risky for him

Loves the adrenaline and rush that comes with sneaking out

Takes lots of cute night selfies together as a keep sake.

Takes picture like kissing you on the cheek out of no where leaving you FRICKING FLUSTERD I CANT ISTG SUNOO WOULD DO SMTG LIKE THAT!

Super cute the whole night, you guys also would probably stop by a street food place thing to get a quick snack then go to the park to hang out

Would also take you home to make sure you’re safe and sound.

Gives you a big tight hug before he leaves to go home

Jungwon!

This kid seems like he’s scared of sneaking out, I feel like wonnie is a good kid so he never thought of sneaking out so this would be your first time but also his first time

You two are both paranoid the whole night but then you two remember that you planned the whole thing out perfectly so you don’t end up getting caught ;)

You guys probably went somewhere pretty for a walk, just to be by each other’s side, laugh and have a good time

You’re with jungwon so its guaranteed for you guys to have a goood time,

Like sunoo he’d also be super cute

Niki!

Man.. i feel like he was the one who brought up the idea T_T

He’s great at these things. #internationsuperspy

You two would probably go to china town or smtg related to that, and try out all sorts of street food and things, fool around etc

You two probably get really loud for no reason and people judge you guys cuz it’s really late

You two have blast outside in the streets with barely any people since it’s midnight,, holding hands under the street lights while he gazes into your eye AUH I CANT DO THIS RIGHT NOW STOP

Tbh i feel like all the members would walk you home to feel safe but i feel like niki wouldn’t care,,,, buut if you really dont know where youre going then he’ll come with you but then would be petty about it bc/ he wants to go home, but its okay because he loves you and he may or may not do anything fo you :(
