Joel and Ellie TLoU

+ a messy painting of their movie night

Aww movie night!! This is so cozy and sweet 🩷

the thing is?? from the very first interactions joel and ellie have, their dynamic is set. she's a kind, trusting little girl reaching out for comfort. “you mumble a lot in your sleep. i hate bad dreams.” he's a gruff, soft-hearted grizzly bear utterly incapable of hurting her. “yeah, me too.” their relationship is built on little pieces of trust and vulnerability, the odd splash of overflowing love on her part and overflowing protectiveness on his, the way one of their first conversations reads like ellie extending her hand and joel taking it and holding it gently. “i hate bad dreams.” this world has hurt me. will you hurt me too? “yeah, me too.” no, kiddo. not ever. i promise.

I love when dialogue has subtext. I love when media doesn't hit you over the head with it's message.

New tumblr Banner thought I’d share w you 💛💛 this is part of my weekly Tlou series happening on instagram #TLOUartSundays

They were so soft I needed to paint them😭

people who don't experience hyperfixation don't know what it feels like to hyperfixate so much on something that it becomes not only your subject of obsession but also your source of happiness and literally the main reason why you still keep going; literal source of strength and life.

shoutout to my favorite fictional characters, favorite people, favorite ships, favorite movies, favorite tv shows, fanfics and archive of our own

This, but what about the times when you suddenly don't feel the same joy for your hyper fixations as you did literally the day before. It's like this thing that was the source of most of your happiness and contentment, just suddenly gets switched off in your dopamine centres. You're just sat there like, wtf do I do with my time and self now? its especially awful when you feel all your apathy and depression start to take centre stage again because your hyper fixation isn't there to push it back anymore. So you just end up waiting in limbo for the joy to spark again.

More March Fic Madness?? - yup

Wanted to slide one more fic rec post out before March is officially over.

This one is categorized because these recs are all over the place and I'd like y'all to be able to navigate this based on your tastes.

Enjoy! 🫶🏻

Thanks so much for the rec! An event based around uplifting writers is always a good thing 🙌🩷

One thing about me is I WILL spend an entire day on a 22 page plan for a fic that, at the rate I’ve been writing, will take me three years to write. Will I start writing it? Probably. Will I get three chapters in and stop updating? Prooobablyyyyy.

Genuinely though, I do really want to finish this one because it’s a concept I’ve been trying and trying for YEARS and it’s never felt right–so hopefully this one will stick. *insert that ‘RELEASE MEEEE’ meme* because this idea will not let me gooooo. Here’s the deal, I have so many things happening between now and June that are going to be taking up the majority of my time, but I’ll do everything I can to get this out summer-ish (and the show coming out will hopefully give me some motivation to do a little bit in the meantime).

If we still have any ‘grasping at straws’ enjoyers in the audience, this might be for you. If it ever happens. Sometimes I just like to post these little rambles to compensate for the fact that I haven’t posted on ao3 since November🫠

THINGS ARE HAPPENINGGGG

Hi, are you me??? I swear, planning a story more fun than writing fully fleshed scenes.

Congrats on making progress!!🥳

they would NOT fucking have communication skills that good

#technically they know and understand each other better than anyone else alive#but they communicate that in the most fucked up insane unnecessarily complicated way and think thats normal

I, personally, would be healed if I smoked a blunt with Pedro Pascal.

Stop whatever you're doing and LOOK AT THIS

Tess shaving him!!!! Beautiful slice-of-life 🥹

Benjamin and Uncle Joel 🥺🥺💕 This was my second time in ArtRage and still kinda trying to find my footing, but I had a lot of fun with the color blending. I’ve been trying to narrow my color palettes to three hues max, and vary the saturation and intensity, and I think it’s helping me keep everything a little bit more coherent.

Mera, this is beautiful!! 🥹

Jackson County: Big Enough

When he said AHHHH-EY-AHHHH, I felt that.

by @stumbling-away

Joel wipes his mouth against his arm, taking a quick sip from the glass of water he’s been spending the past hour staring at. He clears his throat, then meets her eyes. “What did you just say?”

She rests her cheek against her hand, elbows still propped up on the table. “I asked if you wanted to get married at some point.”

Joel nearly chokes again. “I mean, I—Tess.”

“Take your time.”

Tess lives and makes it back to Jackson with Joel and Ellie. Something has to shift.

Ft. Joel being incredibly emotionally constipated and Tess being a good mom.

Aww!

So... I know we're now all staring at the new posters but I've yet to see anyone mention that, if you turn Abby's upside-down, not only you get an image of Joel saving Ellie, but also an image that shows the cordyceps' roots crawling all over Ellie's skull.

today i wrote zero words! but i did think about my story twice in passing. that probably counts for something

It's here! The Last of Us but with werewolves this time

Chapter 1 of ????

What up it is time for chapter 2! (Warnings for body horror)

honestly i think a zombie apocalypse right now would fix me
