headcanon that joel does not believe in the paranormal and he thinks it is just a crock of shit

meanwhile ellie is a skeptic but every time something strange occurs she flips and goes to joel and though he doesn’t think this stuff is real he listens as she goes on a tangent and i like to think that she is sorta into cryptid stories so there are those too

which i believe starts thanks to dina who enjoys sharing her “bedtime stories” just imagine ellie and dina settling after a day of patrol and dina decides to fuck with ellie so she tells her about particular cryptids and ellie doesn’t buy into it until dina shows evidence

no idea what prompted this thread but i am enjoying it very much
