okay the giraffe symbolism in tlou:

soo it’s more there in the game but giraffes are like a recurring symbol that appears throughout the game (i think there’s some in the show too, i think there was one on a poster in sarahs room? i could be wrong) like in the game you’ll see a lot of kids with giraffe toys and as posters in kids rooms and they’re basically meant to represent innocence in dark times. so like ellie petting and feeding the giraffe is like meant in a way to show her going back to her childlike innocence for a minute after loosing it due to david and everything she went through and her reconnecting with her old self for a moment. and then the giraffes leaving is supposed to symbolize like “life goes on” anyways idk if this makes sense i’m sleepy

any form of childlike innocence in a dark and cruel environment makes me balls to the wall insane i hate this i love this im tearing my hair out

#like not to bring my own writing into this but in the latest tams chapter there's a very brief mention amongst ALL of the chaos #of a child's tunic burning on the clothes line #and like THAT was the part of the chapter that i was really !!!!! about #like ellie is just a kid man so many of them are just kids even HENRY looked like he was my age or maybe a year or two older #there is no right or wrong way of handling these things there's just survival #(obligatory disclaimer that david SOMEHOW found the only wrong fucking way of handling it)#ask #tlou #tlou spoilers
