one thing that gets to me about joel’s confessional scene with tommy in ep 6 is when he says “they’ll shoot her” if the rest of the town sees ellie’s bite marks. not “they’ll kill her” or “they’ll hurt her” but very specifically “they’ll shoot her”—those three words took tommy back to september 26, 2003, friday night, and he realised what ellie is to joel.
every day i come onto this silly little app and read these silly little analyses and then have to fight the silly little urge to yeet myself from the nearest high rooftop
