I used to hate the world and I was happy when everyone died. But I was wrong, because there was one person worth saving. That’s what I did. I saved him.

August 29, 2023. “If you find this… please do not come into the bedroom. We left a window open so the house wouldn’t smell, but it will probably be a sight. I’m guessing you found this, Joel, because anyone else would’ve been electrocuted or blown up by one of my traps. Hehehehehehehehe. Take anything you need. The bunker code is the same as the gate code but in reverse. Anyway… I never liked you, but still, it’s like we’re friends… almost. And I respect you. So, I’m gonna tell you something because you’re probably the only person who will understand. I used to hate the world, and I was happy when everyone died. But I was wrong because there was one person worth saving. That’s what I did. I saved him. Then I protected him. That’s why men like you and me are here. We have a job to do. And God help any motherfuckers who stand in our way. I leave you all of my weapons and equipment. Use them to keep…”

I have had a lot of bad days. I have had bad days with you, too.

But, I've had more good days with you than with anyone else.

So give me one more good day.

I’m watching White Lotus rn and I’d just like to shout out Murray Bartlett’s range. I mean seriously, this guy is not participating in a beutiful gay love story rn.

It's no secret that queer characters getting undeserved and unjust deaths has been a very pressing and FRUSTRATING issue that plagues a lot of fiction (hence the infamous bury your gays trope). So I can't help but appreciate when said deaths are done in a way that's actually, you know, done well. And these two shows are by far my favourite examples of the right way to do it.

Both Bill and Frank from The Last of Us and Jayce and Viktor from Arcane gave each of their characters so much care, passion, and respect, as well as their relationships! It gave their complex and fascinating lives the due diligence they deserve, so when the show finally got to the end of their lives, it didn't feel unsatisfying or disservicing!

Their deaths work because the show feels like it's SENDING THEM OFF rather than simply KILLING THEM OFF.

Because at the end of the day, character deaths, like every other trope in fiction, are instruments in that they should be used with as much consideration and care as possible (ESPECIALLY when you're dealing with characters who are part of communities in need of good representation)!

P.S. That said, however, I think everyone here agrees that we definitely could use more queer characters that stay UNburied, if you know what I mean.

bill and franks intimacy in TLOU, just in the one episode they had together, is so potent and beautiful and it makes me actually cry.

Their first kiss made me feel genuinely so elated to see gentle queer intimacy in media. The sensuality of their first time and the fact that you’re seeing two gay men who aren’t like. skinny twinks. be in love and be intimate with eachother.

it’s so beautiful episode. The piano, their dinner, frank telling bill to take a shower and then just holding him is. GODDDDD GOD IM FUCKING UNWELL.
