Don't mind me, I just thought about Ford coming back from 30 years of non-stop survival mode, fresh out of a life-or-death situation with Bill and fuming with rage seeing his brother again... and yet not being able to hide his fondness as he learns he has a grandniece and a grandnephew, looking at them with the softest eyes this broken man could muster
Bonus: Ford looking at Mabel and Dipper individually

Happy trans visibility day!!!

itās so much worse. the way ellie tells joel to get up and he tries. the way abby seeps the pointed end of the club into his neck. the way the wlf members donāt even bother knocking ellie out because she is already so emotionally paralyzed by grief she canāt even so much as stand.
but more than anything else itās crawling to him. all she can muster is crawling with nothing but her arms and cuddling into joel with her whole person. her face buried into the manās which will forever be the last memory of him. itās like watching a child seeking the safety of a parent who canāt protect them anymore. this isnāt just the death of a protector. itās the death of home. joel, to ellie, is safety. safety that she spent the last five years resenting until it was too late. heās been the one constant in a shattered world. so when heās dying ā or dead ā she reverts, not in age but in emotional rawness. she becomes a daughter clinging to a father figure who canāt shield her anymore. and itās not just fear. itās complete unmooring. thereās no one left to hold the world up for her. itās the kind of need that children have when everything feels too big, too loud, too dangerous. she needs to be held. but thereās no one to hold her, so she becomes the one doing the holding, even if he canāt respond. and heāll never respond.
in one of ellieās most harrowing moments in life joel was there to cling on to her. in yet another, she clings to him. but heāll never cling back again.
stan fit compilation to point out he only has like 3 pairs of shoes (and 2 slippers) and one is exclusively for fishing and the another is for robbing toxic waste
(while i love his golf war clothes i can only think about him wearing his slippers instead of regular dress shoes)
They sayĀ theĀ hero winsĀ once theĀ villainĀ dies,Ā but darling... IĀ lostĀ theĀ moment you fell. And, God, IĀ wish I'd fallenĀ withĀ youĀ // k.s.
