Also remember that after Ellie shot the young man in Kansas City, she told Joel that that was not the first time she "hurt" someone. I think it's safe to assume that after Riley turned into a runner later that day, Ellie was forced to put her down.

2025-04-24 23:32:54 +0000 UTCIn the game the whole Riley flashback was a stand alone DLC, so you went straight from Joel falling off the horse to suddenly playing as Ellie after an undefined time jump, so it actually seems like Joel didn't make it and the torch got passed to Ellie...

2025-04-24 17:16:59 +0000 UTCI always thought the most tragic part of this is what wasnt shown. We know Ellie is immune, but Riley isnt. She got "option 3": Riley turns but Ellie doesnt, and Ellie had to watch.

2025-04-12 01:05:58 +0000 UTCYeah. I was really hesitant in my phrasing around the lingerie shop cos I was worried I was coming across as potentially inappropriate and getting it completely wrong, and I was trying to be mindful of my language.

2025-04-11 21:40:40 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed listening to your thoughts on Ellie’s and Riley’s behaviors and their relationship. I remember when Mortal Kombat came out. That video game was so controversial at the time here in the U.S. in regards to the game’s depiction of ultraviolence and gore. My guess is it was Sega Dreamcast for the racing game. The Dreamcast was short lived but it was a classic console system. Ahh, nostalgia..

2025-04-11 19:58:27 +0000 UTCYou know what I find really impressive? It's just how accurate they managed to portray being a young lesbian. It's the little things like how she told Riley to turn around when she was getting dressed. You become almost hyper aware at that age about things like changing rooms and finding/giving privacy to other girls, even if you don't know why yet. Or feeling super awkward in a lingerie store and feeling the need to avert your gaze/ make jokes to alleviate tension.

2025-04-11 15:36:07 +0000 UTCThe way you pick up on the subtleties is genuinely satisfying to watch. There's so much said through body language and I've watched my fair amount of reactors watch The Last of Us and most either don't notice, or don't care to notice the things that go unsaid. Also Dead Rising was amazing! There's a remaster that came out last year too, but I've not played it so I can't say how well it holds up over the years.

2025-04-11 15:27:08 +0000 UTCFirst : “ no, no, FUCK YOU Ellie and Riley” 😅 Second : This episode is the sweetest and saddest episode ever. Riley was all her “first”, love, kiss and kill. Third: this one is a gift for 90’s kids !!

2025-04-11 14:45:10 +0000 UTCthis episode (as do almost all the episodes of this show ☹️😔) makes me sob. ten years ago, i was 12 when i first started playing the last of us and ellie means just….so fucking much to me. she was the first lesbian character i ever knew, and she had been around my age at the time. She made me really think about myself in that regard for the first time, and she helped me see that it was even an option for me in the first place. Ellie helped me begin to know myself in a way that is just so special to me, and i will never be able to thank naughty dog and neil druckmann enough for giving this to me and every other girl out there like me, and like ellie, that needed to see this growing up. I do not know how long it would have taken me too not only realize this about myself, but accept it as something normal, and okay to be if it wasn’t for the last of us, for ellie.
