okay but i'm laughing/aw baby about the idea of ellie trying to find tommy's limits after they get back to jackson because that's how she feels safe around an adult: she finds out how far she can push them and what they do when they've reached their tolerance with her.
and tommy is just. chill.
like at a certain point it's almost annoying because sassing him? he will straight up laugh. swearing at him? he makes very clearly playful threats about joel washing her mouth out with soap. refusing to do what he says? he rolls his eyes but will just gently tug her ponytail and then do it himself.
IRRITATING. WHERE IS YOUR ANGER SWITCH. >:(
so bb as a desperation play just fucking. starts stealing his stuff. she knows that's a foolproof way of making someone angry.
AND TOMMY JUST? LETS HER? SHE WORE *HIS* JACKET IN FRONT OF HIM? AND HE JUST LIFTED AN EYEBROW AND LOOKED AMUSED?
THE FUCK IS YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM, DUDE
