you got me cursing the daylight 🤍

WOULD IMMEDIATELY PASS OUT IF THIS HAPPENED TO ME?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? 😳😳😳

it amazes me how ellie's "tough guy" demeanor is totally different when she's not with joel. it's like. having him present and close gives her this extra security so that she can seem more confident in what she's saying. her threats are more consistent and even more creative and sarcastic because she knows joel is there to protect her anyways. but now that she's facing these men alone??? her voice is higher and less steady, much more child-like. her threats are repetitive and not as cocky, she can't mask her fear through this dangerous demeanor as well as before because she's not only afraid that joel's not there, but also that they might find him and attack him in a moment in which he's too vulnerable to protect himself. the LAYERS

You ever just realize how lucky you are that you did that weird thing that led to you being friends with the people you are friends with?
