Been watching The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart lately for obvious reasons and couldn’t help but notice the similarities between June and Twig and Bill and Frank from The Last of Us. Anyone else notice this or is it just me?
June and Bill are the protectors, the gruff and hardened guardians of their family and property. They carry a rifle to protect what’s their’s from the world, somewhat paranoid and anxious. They can’t afford to lose any more than they already have, even if it makes them seem a little rough around the edges. They have a soft spot reserved only for their loved ones.
Frank and Twig wear their hearts on their sleeves, almost sickeningly sweet. They’re just as strong as their partners though, sometimes even more so just by being open and vulnerable. They’ve lost things too, but they choose to live unguarded and free.
I haven’t finished Lost Flowers yet so these are just the things I’ve noticed so far :))
