Im so normal about them
David Bowie & Marc Bolan (T. Rex)
Trying to decide whether I make a separate tiktok account specifically for lost edits or if I just slap them onto my old acc w everything else
one of my favourite things in lost is how whenever sawyer is mad he just starts serving face. the others steal Walt and he's just on the raft mewing. 10/10
This is what happens when my Squid game and chronohaul phases overlap…
reverse gatekeeping. I am on my knees begging people to engage with the source material
no one understands the beef i have with john locke
Rewatching Lost and I’m on s2 and I forgot how ominous the others seemed before their ‘official’ introduction?
Like it’s so laughably funny in retrospect that they were painted as these inhuman, incomprehensible collective entity. The tail-end survivors are under the impression they’re some kind of supernatural force, capable of moving through the jungle without leaving trace, and possessing a knowledge of the island’s layout that they can’t even dream of replicating.
I see a lot of complaints online that the show was better before the Others were revealed but honestly I love that, in a show full of bored gods and ancient temples, the Others were just people. People who’d grown with the jungle, adapted to tread lightly and move fast. People who spent their time bickering over book clubs and watching TV. I loved the later addition that the crash shook up their way of life almost as much as those on the plane; suddenly faced with a new group of people, unaware what that will entail for them.
In conclusion I really enjoyed the gradual portrayal of the Others within the show; their slow transition from omnipresent malevolent force, to a group of people thrust into a unique situation.
(I still firmly hold the belief that everyone was collectively winging it for a solid 90% of the first two season. I mean, there’s no indication that plane’s regularly crash; I can only assume that the last ‘surviving’ addition to the island was Rousseau. None of those mfs were at all prepared for 60+ people to suddenly appear. Props to Ben for coming up w a plan in the .5 seconds he had to register a PLANE CRASHING bcs that could not be me)
I’m genuinely too sick to draw or write or do anything actually productive so enjoy these shit ‘lost as textposts’‼️
Is anyone going to take one for the team and write a breakfast club style au of SotR or will I just have to do it myself💔
(Please tell me someone else sees the vision)
