Gamer Ellie Headcanons! ᖭི༏ᖫྀ🎧ྀི.⋆꩜
Gamer!Ellie who loves playing Minecraft with you; the two of you always end up in a deep two-week phase of playing for hours on end.
Gamer!Ellie who always puts her bed next to yours.
“Ellie, what are you doing?”
“Just helping you finish building your bedroom,”
She places a dark green bed right next to your blush pink bed. Even though you can’t see Ellie’s face right now, you can picture the stupid grin that she’s making. Ellie hears you let out a deep sigh through your headset.
“Oh c’mon! Pink goes good with green!” She protests.
“Goes well with green.” you correct her.
Gamer!Ellie who teases you for playing with cave sounds off cause they’re scary; she’ll never admit she has them off too.
Gamer!Ellie who is ridiculously good at Fortnite and you hate to admit it.
“#1 Victory Royal” glows across the top of your screen.
“Let's play one more round, and then I need to sleep.” You say.
“Hmmm maybe we should stop here, my back kinda hurts.” Ellie says.
“Oh no! Are you okay?” You ask obliviously.
“Yeah it’s just been tough carrying this duo the whole time.”
Ellie is met by the sound of you ending the call, and you are soon met by a flood of text messages.
Gamer!Ellie who is usually really good at Mario Kart, but mysteriously happens to lose whenever you’re around…
Dina finished in first place, closely followed by Jesse.
“Not fair! I was first like the whole time.” Jesse said.
“Doesn’t look like it.” Dina smirked.
Normally Ellie would tell them to get a room, but she didn’t pay any mind to Dina and Jesse’s usual banter because all her attention was on you. Something about the way your hair sprawled across your hoodie, and the way your face looked when you were completely focused captivated her.
You came through in fourth place, and all of you looked at Ellie’s corner of the screen as you waited for her to finish. You all watched her carelessly drive straight into a banana peel.
“Hey, so you’re actually supposed to drive around those.” Dina said sarcastically.
“Well, who the fuck left that there!?” Ellie complained.
In the next round, Jesse got first, followed by Dina in second, and you in third. As for Ellie, she was lagging behind again. She kept falling off the track over and over because her eyes weren’t on the road. Did you always have a mole on the side of your neck? Even though she’s known you for so long, Ellie loved noticing new things about you, like the smell of your new perfume and the mix of new and old rings you’re wearing today.
“Can’t park there.” Jesse said as Ellie drove off the edge again.
“Shut up.” Ellie scoffed.
“Sucks to suck.” Dina laughed.
“Damn, Ellie you kinda do suck. 10th place??” Jesse questioned.
“Yeah, is something distracting you, Ellie?” Dina teased.
“Something or someone?” Jesse added on.
“I hate you two.” She grumbled.
Gamer!Ellie who cries when you finish playing Red Dead Redemption 2.
Gamer!Ellie who always says “chat” even though it’s just the two of you playing on facetime.
Gamer!Ellie who loves Super Smash Bros and has a strange way of asking you to play with her.
“I’m bored, I don’t know what to do.” You sigh as you slump into the couch.
“You tryna smash?” Ellie asks casually, as if talking about something simple like the weather.
“What are you talking about!?”
“Oh… I thought you said you love that game. You always play Kirby and eat everyone.”
Gamer!Ellie who takes Just Dance way too seriously.
Ellie has just lost another round to you, she’s been on a losing streak for about 3 songs in a row now.
“You’re not doing it right!” Ellie insists.
“What are you talking about?”
“I can see you only moving the arm with the controller.”
“Yeah, and I’m still beating yo-”
Ellie cuts you off by throwing a couch pillow at your face.
“Get up and dance for real or else I’m gonna smash you again.”
Gamer!Ellie who is horrible at parkour and hates Roblox obbys with a passion.
Gamer!Ellie who ragequits when she’s not a pro at a game she literally just started; but if you say you like the game, she’ll start it up again immediately.
Gamer!Ellie who knows all the fnaf lore and made a powerpoint presentation with a complete timeline to present it to you.
Gamer!Ellie who always goes first in Roblox horror games so that you don't have to be scared. (she also dies first too, but she's trying her best.)
Gamer!Ellie who loves playing choice-based games with you and debating which option is better. You two get into a heated debate over the Life is Strange 1 ending.
(Warning: lis 1 spoilers ahead.)
“Arcadia bay is the only right answer.” Ellie says.
She’s about to lock in her decision, but you snatch the controller from her hands.
“What the hell!? I’m keeping them together no matter what! We didn’t do all this for nothing.” You respond.
“You can’t just sacrifice a ton of people for one person. Imagine the guilt that one person would have to live with.” Ellie reasoned.
“I can’t believe you would watch the two of them go on this whole journey together only to rip them apart at the end. I’m not just gonna let Chloe go.” You said.
“Okay fine. Imagine if you do keep them together, Chloe’s probably gonna feel some crazy survivor’s guilt that’ll strain their relationship down the line.”
After going back and forth for what feels like an eternity, you reluctantly find yourself agreeing with Ellie.
“Ugh fine.” You hand the controller back to her, and even though you both agree it’s the right thing to do, your heart still hurts a little as you watch Ellie choose many people over the one person that really mattered.
“So… would you be mad if someone chose your life over a ton of people, Ellie?”
“Don’t ask stupid questions.”
Gamer!Ellie who loves Jin from Ghost of Tsushima, even though you don’t see eye to eye.
(Warning: Ghost of Tsushima spoilers ahead.)
“I can’t believe Jin threw everything away for revenge.” You said.
“What? He’s a hero.” Ellie says.
“Hero?! He killed like hundreds or thousands of people!”
“Jin had no choice but to kill his enemies. If he let them live, they would’ve just come after him.”
“Okay, but he could’ve at least killed them honorably. He was so blinded by revenge he threw away his honor and his family name. He lost so much, was it really worth it?”
Ellie went quiet. Then, she turned to you with a fake serious expression- she has such a bad poker face around you. You could tell that beneath her stern face, she was holding back a laugh.
“Honor died on the beach.” Ellie said, mimicking Jin’s voice as she said his iconic line.
“Okay, Ghost of Seattle over here.” You laughed.
Gamer!Ellie who loves that you never get tired of listening to her ramble about her favorite games and comics, because poor Dina and Jesse have had Savage Starlight explained to them hundreds of times now.
Gamer!Ellie who stays up late playing games with you long into the night.
Ellie and you have been taking turns playing Ellie’s favorite Legend of Zelda game for hours now. The sun is long gone, and you’re fighting to stay awake while Ellie is solving puzzles.
“Okay, I can’t figure this out. Do you wanna try?” Ellie hands you the controller, only to see you’ve fallen asleep on the couch.
Ellie giggles quietly, careful not to wake you, and takes a picture. She’s definitely going to send this to you with some silly message for you to see when you wake up. Ellie gently picks you up and carries you to your bed. She tucks you in and lays down beside you, watching you sleep. She wonders what you dream about, and she moves a stray strand of hair behind your ear.
“Good night,” Ellie whispers as she places a soft kiss upon your forehead.
You wake up with her head on your chest and you decide to sleep in, holding her close.
