dropping here after a very long time just because I replayed the The Last Of Us series and oh my god Tommy Miller is a criminally underrated character. this man was ready to risk his life, his family, and everything he had built just to take Ellie to the Fireflies, because he knew Joel would grow attached to her, and he didn’t want him to go again through the kind of pain he experienced after losing Sarah.
he went back to Joel’s house after years, took a photo of Joel and Sarah, and kept it with him despite being estranged from Joel at the time because he loved his brother and his niece unconditionally anyway.
when Joel died, Tommy rushed to Seattle so Ellie wouldn’t be in danger.
He sacrificed his leg, his eye, his wife and arguably his sanity to protect Ellie, not just because that's what Joel would’ve wanted, but because of his own affection for her and likely out of a sense of guilt after Joel’s death.
this man also singlehandedly decimated the WLF with a sniper rifle so effectively that they thought he was either a ghost or an entire squad.
I love you Tommy Miller
