i would love to know how the conversation went when joel and tess had to convince bb!ellie to go to preschool. a place, where there will be other children, she can’t bring her own toys, AND she can’t leave? absolutely the fuck not.
i remember in kindergarten the bathroom in our room had two toilets but no stall separating them so it was just two toilets side-by-side like some kind of tandem bicycle loo situation. ngl i don’t think they’d get ellie back to preschool if that happened. she’d be the first ever preschool dropout.
they try to spin it like something fun and ellie is just sitting at their table with the MOST unimpressed expression on her face. she is not swayed.
"how long do we have to go?"
"actually, it'll be just you"
"no"
sharing snacks? no baby time? following a schedule other than her clock? absolutely not
thank you for the opportunity, but she will be declining
oh MAN keeping in mind the implications in the show that ellie got bullied not irregularly and didn’t really have a friend until riley and also thinking about how kids would absolutely be able to pick up on growing up in a hierarchy, lil bb who just doesn’t wanna go bc she HATED fedra preschool
she doesn’t even properly have words to explain it, but lil nugget who doesn’t want to feel left out and picked on again and that’s the only frame of reference she has for what school is like. go to a building? where kids can take her food and break her stuff and adults won’t help her? where she’s too little to fight well so she always loses when she tries to stand up for herself?
no FUNKING way
but how did they convinced bb ellie to leave the compound? like?
"we are going to meet the radio man, but leave everything that you ever know and got used to, also no more grandpa bill and frank"
i propose bb ellie would play dead and joe would have to carry her
this is literally one of the hottest scenes i’ve ever watched in my life

yelena is aroace, why is it so hard for you to admit it???
I’ve been staying away from this because it feels like such a pointless thing to argue about. Despite me having my own tagging system that keeps me out of the show, character, and ship tags a seemingly endless amount of you have been ceaselessly hounding me for days, trying to police what I say and do on my blog. I've finally reached my breaking point so…here we go I guess.
Let’s start with the basics since it appears that most of you fail to grasp even that. There’s two distinctly different concepts that fandom conflates and/or tries to use interchangeably because evidently only a handful of us took a literature class in school. Time for a lesson.
CANON: Canon are the elements of a fictional story that are officially a part of it. Canon is IRREFUTABLE information provided directly from the media to the audience. In movies and TV this would mean things like action or dialogue that happen ON SCREEN. In a book or comic it would be things EXPLICITLY said or shown on the page. Canon isn’t fan interpretation/speculation, fix-its, headcanons, what-ifs, something an actor said at a con in front of 200 people or that they “thought maybe that’s a thing their character would do” at an interview in a press junket. Canon is what is IN THE TEXT. End of story.
AUTHORIAL INTENT & DEATH OF THE AUTHOR:
-Authorial Intent: An author can have an “intention” with a piece but that ends the moment the story is out of their hands and the reader/viewer takes ownership of it. Why? Because none of us see the world the same way. Literally. The author simply cannot control how an individual will read their work, cannot dictate how we embrace what they supposedly wrote, and cannot force us to throw out our own takeaway of the text. It is entirely possible that my experience with the text or the characters is vastly different than what they “intended” that to be and there is nothing wrong with that. Once art is out in the world it is going to take a life of its own. That is how subjectivity works.
-Death Of The Author: TV Tropes defines Death Of The Author as follows: “It holds that an author's intentions and background (including their politics and religion) should hold no special weight in determining how to interpret their work. This is usually understood to mean that a writer's views about their own work are no more or less valid than the interpretation of the reader.”
Now that we’ve established both those things let’s break down Yelena’s case in particular.
Grian: Scar, what time is it?
Scar: I don’t know, let me check.
Scar proceeds to pull out a goat horn and make as loud a sound as humanly possible
Impulse: WHO IS USING A GOAT HORN AT TWO IN THE FUCKING MORNING?!
Scar: It’s 2 AM.
