The Giraffe Scene in the Last of Us
This scene is probably the most well known and well regarded scene in the Last of Us. I recently replayed the game and somehow the emotions hit me even harder this time around. The Last of Us is largely a tragic tale about the loss of innocence. Ellie throughout the game has to commit increasingly horrible acts to survive and experiences tremendous loss. The toll on Ellie is incredibly noticeable during the opening of the spring chapter. She’s withdrawn and melancholy. Ellie seems to have lost a bit of herself after what happened at the close of the winter chapter. That moment when she first pets the giraffe you get to see the innocence that both the gamer and Ellie though was lost. Ellie is once again showing wonder and excitement with the world that was last seen at the beginning of her journey. No matter the trials and hardships she has gone through Ellie has managed to hold onto the part of her that finds the world worth living in. She still manages to see the beauty in what others would find mundane. The hope that this scene brought to the characters within the tragic tale was enough to make me and many others tear up. I don’t think I’ve seen a scene in a video game convey the emotions of the characters without dialogue as well as this one. This is just a part of why the Last of Us is considered great.
The Last of Us Part II Review (minor spoilers)
I just finished the last of us part 2 and I want to start off by saying I think everyone should give this game a shot. A lot of the spoilers are taken really out of context and I think you should play the game through and decide for yourself how you feel about the finished product.
Now to the review (there will be minor spoilers, but no big story beats will be revealed)
This game managed to take all my expectations and flip them on their head. It's a deeply moving tale about guilt, grief, revenge, and redemption and none of those came in the form that I came in expecting. I saw a lot of people upset after the leaks surfaced and deciding they didn't want to play the game, but I strongly encourage you to play this and see how it plays out in its entirety. The story hit me in a way I wasn't expecting and it is my favorite first play through experience.
I came into this game expecting a rather straightforward revenge story, but of course that wasn’t all I got. The biggest strength is that you get to play as both Ellie and Abby. You see both of their perspectives and everything that led them to this point. I can honestly say that I wanted both of them to break free of the cycle of violence and find peace. The expansion of our viewpoint is what elevates the story from very good to great. It was a bit jarring to have the viewpoint change because unlike in the Last of Us I wasn’t expecting to play a level as someone other than our main protagonist, let alone the character I initially thought of as the villain. I have never been so happy to be wrong. This shift in perspective really made me rethink everything I had done in the game as Ellie. It made it so that when Ellie and Abby fought or were close to confrontation I was worried for both of them. I didn't want either to lose or win over the other. And, without getting into anything, it made it so that the ending was so much more impactful. I don’t know if I’ve been that invested in the final section of gameplay in any game I’ve played before except for maybe the first game. The Last of Us Part II is a game I won’t forget.
Now that I hear Michael I can’t think of anything else
Pssssttt what do yall HC Joel’s middle name as?

Dating Joel Miller
A/N- Guys, I do not want to talk about smut in this, but I may have sprinkled it a little. You’re welcome :) I won't go without mentioning, Joel has been my comfort character for almost 4 years and I don't remember a day without him. I see him always by my side and I miss him very much so I'm looking forward to The Last of Us part 1. I hope you enjoy this headcanon style thing. Your comments and feedback are very valuable to me. I hope you have a good day/night <3
Warnings- mentions of blood, implied smut , mentions of violence, domestic stuff basically. ( is that supposed to be a warning? Idk )
- I can't think much about asking Joel out because it's obvious, the guy looks so annoying and grumpy from the outside.
- But what matters to us is how Joel is inside. Remember: don't judge a book by its cover.
- With this advice, I have a lot to say about joel and being with him.
- At first , I see Joel as a man of his word. If Joel says he loves you, he really does. Don't even think otherwise.
- I want to talk a little bit about Joel in the house. While at home, Joel obviously has the right to be a little messy because he is a single man, but after you enter his life, he starts doing housework more regularly and learning to cook.
- Even if you mess up the house together from time to time, it would be great for you to tidy the house together and finally drink a coffee of tiredness.
- We didn't see much of Joel carving wood, but we know his arts. I have to admit, it wouldn't hurt to disturb him even a little while he is doing his work . :)
- I said Joel might be messy, but that doesn't mean he's dirty. Yes, he and Ellie were out for a long time and even long before that they lived in a not-so-clean area, and maybe there was no such thing as a washing machine. Guys, the man is a clean man at his core, and anyone who claims otherwise, well, you can do it If you wanna lmao.
- Joel, of course, also smells of freshly carved wood and coffee, and I hope we all know that. At least that's how our dream Joel is.
- Sitting on his porch with Joel, watching him play his guitar with those dexterous fingers, then sitting on his lap and kissing him deeply.
- Although he is tired after he comes from the patrol, he will make time for you and let you massage him. At first he doesn't really want it because it's in his nature to be grumpy and he doesn't want you to get tired any more because you're tired too.
- You hold him by the hand, after you put him on the couch, you rub his shoulders well and do not forget to put kisses once in a while. The man rewards you in different ways after this compassionate act. :)
- I'm not going to talk about how Joel is in bed for now, because I want to provoke you with a little preview :)
- But know that you will definitely be pleased with Joel in bed. His skilled fingers, his muscular body above you, and his care for you are enough for you. The man is experienced enough in these things and knows how to treat you or when he hurt you.
- Although from the outside, Joel may seem very cold and uncaring to others, he started to change after meeting you. Instead of the man who walked in a dazed manner, he became an unyielding and lively man who was even more brave against life. Tommy and Maria are surprised by this change, but they also know that you are the reason. Tommy or Maria didn't actually introduce you. Classically, while you were on the road and he was on the road, his eyes touched yours and you were drawn to each other. Of course, Joel didn't think at first that you would be the person who would make his life so beautiful, but gradually he was more and more attracted to your smile, touch, speech, look.
- The man was afraid to ask you at first. In this case, I can say that he got some support from Tommy, but he didn't do everything he got adviced.
- On a typical Jackson evening, Joel came to your door and said he wanted to talk a little. Since winter was about to come, you put on a jacket and followed him outside. You were wondering what he was to say. Your eyes looking at him with hope. He suddenly pressed his lips to yours under those gorgeous, bright, colorful Jackson lights. This romantic moment for both of you ended with a great night, but you still carry this moment in your hearts.
- Going to the patrol together. I can't think of anything as great as going on patrol with him. Yes, maybe I'm thinking about it, but his sexy but angry looks towards runners and the others . Blood is not something any of us like, but sweat mixed with blood on him...I'm having a hard time telling friends because I have a bad temper when I imagine Joel like that.
- While on the patrol, Joel tries his best to protect you and not go to far places, but he also realizes that you’re not a child. He knows you can take care of yourself. Knowing this, he doesn't think much of it, but if he senses danger around, he won't hesitate to pull you to his side, tuck you , and put your head on his chest. Joel is very possessive and protective and that's why I love Joel so much.
- After you return, you clean yourself first, and after you get out of the dust, you go under the same blanket, he tucks you well, puts little kisses on your forehead, and then you both fall asleep in front of the fireplace.
- I don't think much of Joel dancing, but I have a few ideas of how he was convinced by the Jackson people to play the guitar at every Jackson family event. When you entered the crowded area you saw Tommy and Maria sitting in front of the bar chatting and Ellie and Dina laughing as well. Holding Joel's hand tightly and taking a look around, you went to Maria’s and sat on the empty chairs next to them. After some talking and laughing, a young man who understands music came up to Joel and asked if he could play the guitar.
- At first he refused, but when you went to him and told him you had a surprise, he gave up and walked towards the stage with a sigh of relief.
- When he got to the stage, no one spared their adoring applause. He looked around with a nervous look, and lastly he looked at you, smiled. You waved at him and all watched in admiration as he played the guitar.
- At the end of that evening, when you walked into the house with Joel and told you what your surprise was for him and that he wanted it now, you couldn't help running back. Before you could even climb the stairs, he grabbed you by the waist and turned you towards him. Taking you on his shoulder, he quickly climbed the stairs and entered the bedroom and threw you onto the bed.
- That wonderful evening ended, once again, with your moans in bed, climbing to your peak together and snuggling into each other.
