Dina ❤️‍🩹

I don’t even wanna know how much time I ended up spending on this one. And I had jacksepticeye’s The Last of Us Part 2 playthrough videos on the background almost the whole time. It is such a GOOD game. When I’m not playing it, I’m watching videos about it, it looks like.

I got tagged twice, so thanks @callmekittenandyourmajesty & @igodownwithmyshipz!

Last song: I HATE EVERYBODY by Halsey (I promise I do not hate everybody).

Last book: Hunted by Darcy Coates (still working on it, as a matter of fact.)

Last movie: Big Hero 6 for family movie night.

Last TV show: Supernatural, typically as background noise.

Looking forward to: Theatre class tomorrow, TLOU S2, hopefully seeing my childhood best friend this month, visiting my grandfather at some point, and stunt school this summer. Also weather that doesn't change its mind every second would be nice.

You should be able to rot in bed for 2, maybe 3 hours after waking up before it starts affecting what time it is. If I wake up at 8:30 and lie in bed for 2hr it should still be 8:30 when I get up

i’m so sick of going on tik tok and seeing everyone fan casting *enter random pretty white actress* as ellie.

listen to me when I say this- the hbo show is an ADAPTATION. that does not equal having to be the copy and paste of the video game. if you want game ellie, play the fucking game or watch the gameplay on youtube.

bella ramsey does an AMAZING job as ellie. as a person who’s put hours and hours into the game, I truly believe bella captures ellie’s heart and intentions. they do an incredible job portraying a character who’s very complex and grows up in front of your eyes. just because this person does not “”look like ellie””” does not mean you get to bully them. I think bella resembles ashley johnson (the actress who they inspired ellie off of) and while they may not be a spitting image of ellie, they do an incredible job by acting exactly like ellie. the mannerisms. the facial expressions. hell even their voice! they aren’t even american and they capture the essence of ellie’s voice.

while they other actresses who have been fan casted are great actors, it doesn’t mean they can do all of those things. and if they can- cool, it doesn’t matter. bella has the role and they will continue to be ellie.

bullying someone for their looks is so beyond shallow and disrespectful. bring me one other good reason those actors deserve to be ellie over bella- without being related to looks.

i’m just so fucking sick of the tik toks. i’m sick of the hatred for bella. they deserve so much better.

to me modern ellie will always be that rural tomboy texas girl. you mean to tell me the girl who's had physical labor jobs the entire game suddenly just sits inside all day being a toxic gamer and texting me on snapchat? insane, unbelievable. also why is she still toned if she doesn't do anything at all, that's always been a pet peeve of mine.

to me she's that girl you'd see getting rowdy with friends and she's covered in dirt n' grass. she'd point at cool bugs like a mantis or beetle and go "look at that thing!" modern ellie is a bug girl to me. she's the girl you'd see riding around in a farmer pickup with joel and anytime you come to her house she's always doing some kind of farm work like taking care of chickens, tending to gardens and crops, whatever. you'll see ellie with her friends poking around those old buildings around town that haven't been touched in years

maybe it's how jackson kind of reminds me of my town and the whole farm thing she had with dina that makes me have such a rural connection to her but idk. also texas farmer joel just makes sense, and he's technically her dad. so she deserves to be a texas farmer too.

I like that the last of us likes to remind us of how everyone is a gray character and that nobody is a saint. I don't call joel a villian, I don't call abby the villian.

However...

people (abby fans mostly) may call me out on that if they want, but if anyone in that game (besides david) deserves to be called villian here is Abby's father. I feel bad for her, but I don't feel bad for him. I mean, Joel did wrong things but at least he was man enough to admit he did it all, while Doc over there was willing to kill a little girl without her consent and almost did it with no shame. And if abby didn't love her father and had no emotional conection to him, she would have seen how unfair he was.

I once made a post where I was talking about how everyone was being (not exactly a villain) but selfish and unfair in this scenario.

Marlene; because she wouldn't wait for Ellie to wake up to discuss it with her, to prepare her for what she was going to go through. Sure, she knew Ellie wanted to do anything to help cure humanity, but to die for it? Ellie didn't know that, and Marlene was wrong not to ask her first. Marlene was being overly selfish here because she was afraid to ask her. What if Ellie said no? She was choosing herself and others so she could live over a little girl who wouldn't even know she died to help.

Jerry; because as a doctor (no matter if it's in the post-apocalyptic world or the normal one, he should stick to the codex), he should never perform a surgery on a patient who doesn't consent to it (unless the patient is unconscious and it is to save his life, which is not this case). Jerry, as a doctor, should have known better, but he was unfair and selfish because he'd rather kill a girl who had no idea what's going to happen to her just to live his life in a world that'd be better because of her—while this kid would never have a chance to.

Joel; because he took the only thing that mattered to Ellie just because he was afraid of losing her. Sure, it was the right thing in his eyes (I would do the same), but he knew he was doing wrong by Ellie. Because when Marlene said "It's what she'd want... and you know it" there was this look on his face where you could decipher the fear he had for not respecting the girl's wishes. He knew this was going to have consequences. But he didn't care. She was safe in his arms, and that was what mattered to him. Selfish. Yet Joel was the only one who was being unfair, but at least he did it for love. For the love he had for the kid who he wanted to have a life that he knew she never had in Jackson, where he was headed with her.

Every one of these people would be selfish in Ellie's eyes, and some of them would even be so-called villains in this scenario. I don't think there's black and white; there's gray everywhere, but what I know is that this scene and everyone's decisions and actions are so complex that I fear none of us could ever cover it if we tried.
