I bite the bars of my enclosure when I remember how LITTLE time it took for joel to become absolutely terrified to lose ellie

I havent been on here in a damn month but you bet your ass I’m still on ao3 every single night reading about the dad I deserve (joel miller)

In a modern day au sarah would text joel “got an A on my English paper!” and joel would respond with at least five bitmoji’s that say shit like “PROUD DAD MOMENT” “MUSIC TO MY EARS” “IT’S FRIYAY!”

Unfortunately I know that in a non apocalyptic world joel would be the kind of dad who plays instagram reels at max volume like ellie is shoving headphones into his hands on a regular basis

When is an apocalypse going to give ME the father figure I deserve!

Once again, joel making a baby blanket for dina and ellie’s kiddo. and by blanket I mean some of his flannels stitched together 🥺
