#anna williams

Anna Williams did not run through miles of forest nor face off with an infected with literally only a switchblade and sheer desperation all while fucking IN LABOR, then cut her daughter's umbilical cord with her own hands, clean her up, name her, love her, and hold her for hours even as she knew and felt that she was dying, prepared to stab herself with that same switchblade to save her baby, then beg her lifelong friend to take her girl somewhere safe where she could grow up happy and protected only for Marlene to fuckin sacrifice that girl, that baby she swore to her dying friend to take care of, for a shoddy at best chance to save an already irrevocably shattered world. Both the Williams ladies deserved better than that.

i knew ashley johnson as anna was going to ruin me but dear god. the grunts of pain that bring this ellie into the world are the same ones you hear as you make sure that ellie survives the games. the knife that ellie wields the way she does because of ashley’s own experience is one anna tells marlene to give to ellie. ashley johnson made ellie who she is and bella ramsey is keeping her alive and anna staring at a baby saying “you fuckin’ tell ‘em, ellie.” means the world to me actually
