why the FUCK are weekends only 2 days long do you really think that’s enough to recover from the horrors of the work week. really.
“joel took away ellie’s choice”- damn it’s almost like he knew they were both gonna just end up killed.. it’s almost like he had no choice either and the fireflies were always gonna kill her with or without her knowledge. it’s almost like ellie is a child who does not deserve the weight of the world on her shoulders like this. it’s almost like her survivors guilt and unresolved trauma is what drives her to feel as if her entire life needs to end to compensate for those she’s lost; it’s almost like joel indulging ellie’s martyrdom is a far worse thing than saving her on the chance she doesn’t want to die. it’s almost like she genuinely was never in the right conditions to consent to begin with and was never going to have the chance to regardless. idk
