#give bella ramsey a fucking emmy

[mybitterbisexualarse]

I know this is a happy accident I guess but I appreciate that Bella Ramsey is tiny as a person, like they are 5′1 and it really works to show just how young ellie is when shes holding a rifle half the size of her or facing off 2 grown ass men who tower over her 

[tightjeansjavi]

I’m just going to leave this right here because this is a masterpiece. This is acting in its rawest fucking form and I swear to god if Bella doesn’t win an Emmy for this performance, I will riot.

Her screams of terror turning to screams of blackout rage?

Yeah this is fucking INSANE

And no, I will never shut up about it.

BELLA RAMSEY DESERVES EVERY AWARD THERE IS MY KING YOU WERE AMAZING THIS EPISODE ILYSM

[boylikeanangel]

craig mazin proving to all of us once again that he knows exactly when and where changes need to be made from the game to the show and exactly what he's saying when he makes those changes with ellie being allowed to brutalise david without joel stopping her are you listening to me!!!! it's about giving ellie far more agency and independence than her game counterpart, it's about allowing her to be the protagonist on her own terms, it's about joel once again failing her and showing up too late to save her and finding her stumbling about in the snow and all he can do is hold her and tell her it's okay, it's about setting up the kind of person ellie becomes when joel isn't there to hold her back it's about showing the extent of the brutality she is capable of when given the right motivation, and most importantly it's about ellie finally getting the outlet to release every bit of rage and anger and fear and sorrow she's had building up her entire life and violently reclaiming her own life on her own terms! and it's about giving bella ramsey his emmy moment!!! are you fucking listening to me!!!!!!

Spoilers for ep. 8 and cw warning for csa mention🚨

Random thought III. I’m definitely not the first one to be saying this or anything, but w/ David’s episode dropping last night i am once again obsessing over how tlou presents love through side character vignettes.

So far we’ve had:

Love in the form of a father doing everything he can to protect his daughter on zombie outbreak day.

Love in the form of an old gay couple finding peace in the mists of the apocalypse.

Love in the form of an older brother willing to kill a whole revolution to get medicine for his younger brother.

Love in the form of a sister willing to destroy herself and everything she’s built in pursuit of avenging her brother.

Love in the form of community.

Love in the form of two estranged brothers.

Love in the form of young crushes and puppylove

Then ep. 8 comes along and here's a guy whose whole stick is abt twisting love into something awful and vial to fuel the flames of his sadism. And Ellie — not Joel — is the one to face this head-on. Mind you, right off the heels of her flashback episode where the audience sees her at her most innocent and carefree.

So Ellie confronts it. She has to. Because she loves Joel, it’s love in the form of a not-daughter doing all she can to protect her not-dad.

This is the first time she’s been directly exposed to this kind of senseless violence and brutality. David wants her because he can have her, because he knows that he’s physically stronger than her and a hell of a lot crueler. Ellie was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.

It’s “love” that he’s twisted into something so hideous and so unrecognizable and so terrifying and cruel — everything that love shouldn’t be.

And Ellie's loss of innocence at the hands of this "love" is enforced by Bella Ramsey's incredible acting (give them an Emmy for ffs). Even with David dead, she doesn't stop bashing his head in, she can't.

Cause I mean, yeah. It's the desperate, terrified actions of a little girl who's already been conflated violence with justice and safety being pushed to her absolute limits.

obv. she's totally in the right here. fuck david all my homies hate david. but, at the same time, it's showing what she's capable of when being pushed to that extreme. all that fear and anger and sadness and rage that's been festering in her since riley (and probably for much longer) absolutely has the potential to become destructive. it's a rlly good set up for season 2 me thinks.

Holy fucking shit give Bella Ramsey an Emmy right the fuck now

[pixiecaps]

GIVE BELLA RAMSEY HER FUCKING EMMY

[tightjeansjavi]

“It’s okay baby girl, I got you”

CAN YOU HEAR MY FUCKING SCREAMS FROM HERE??

SHE WAS READY TO FUCKING FIGHT FOR HER LIFE AGAIN AFTER BRUTALLY FUCKING ANNIHILATING DAVID THAT FUCKING MONSTER AND THEN YOU SEE THE SHOCK AND RELIEF HIT HER FACE WHEN SHE REALIZES ITS JOEL AND HE’S ALIVE AND HOLDING HER

I’M—

THE EQUAL RELIEF ON HIS FACE AND THE WAY HE HUGS HER SO TIGHT AND CLOSES HIS EYES

PEDRO PASCAL AND BELLA RAMSEY ARE FUCKIN COMING FOR THOSE EMMY’S MAN WHAT A FUCKING INSANELY PHENOMENAL PERFORMANCE FROM THEM BOTH

[tightjeansjavi]

I just I have no words I’m so fucking like WHAT??

This is truly a level of acting I have never fucking seen before. This is pure black out rage and you can fucking FEEL it through the screen.

The way she just kept fucking stabbing him even after he was long dead like that’s right, fuck him up Ellie FUCK HIM UP.

[tightjeansjavi]

I sure as hell ain’t your dad

You sure about that old man??

I’m convinced that when he sees the flashback of Sarah putting fucking Christmas ornaments on the goddamn tree is when he realized that he sure as hell IS Ellie’s dad and that was his turning point.

Rip my heart out I guess, it’s cool !
