My Top 5 Shots in Every Episode of TLOU
Episode 3
TW: Mass grave
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.
(Like three of these are only in the show, sorry to the gamers here without HBO)
In TLOU HBO there are two episodes that take place outside of the main timeline of the show, and both are absolutely fantastic queer love stories, but they are also completely different types of love stories.
Long, Long Time is a story about growing old together. It’s about loving someone so deeply and unbreakably that they become your purpose. It’s a two decade spanning story about time and spending your life with someone you love.
Left Behind is a story about young love. It’s about the awkward giddiness of having a crush at fourteen. It’s about the butterflies in your stomach and young, naive hope. It spans one night, probably less than four hours, that ended way too soon.
Bill and Frank’s death wasn’t the tragic end of a play, but Riley and Ellie were all poetic and decided to lose their minds together.
