Part 2 of my silly ‘Lost as Textposts’ bcs I’m still ill

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)

This is what happens when my Squid game and chronohaul phases overlap…

sad rant time abt aot highschool caste au !!!

-

you know what destroys me when i think about it too much? aot high school caste au. ngl it cheers me up usually because its so damn funny.. but then i get sad when i think about the fact the caste version of the characters is what they could’ve and SHOULD’VE been if they weren’t forced into such devastating lives in the original canonverse. LIKE OKAY LISTEN… the fact goth mikasa is so whimsical and ditsy instead of the fierce and realistic canon au mikasa is basically isayama telling us that “haha mikasa could’ve had the chance to actually daydream like a normal teenage girl and explore her femininity lol” baby mikasa in the OVA’s was so innocent and airheaded, SHE COUD’VE CONTINUED BEING A NORMAL GIRLLL 😞😞😞 AND nerd armin in the caste au being so unaware of his surroundings and actually having the chance to indulge in living out his teen years in a life where he could focus on his interests.

Why are lost scenepacks so hard to find💔 I’m struggling out here💀

america's sweetheart olympian 🥇

i can’t look at Ben Linus too long or he will corrode my brain like acid. i’m avoiding images of him like the plague because i simply can’t deal with that shit right now

I want the Ambassadors exploring new places and wondrous things in distant countries; underwater caves, bioluminescent beaches, the world's tallest waterfall, stargazing campfires, escaping assassination attempts, lush deep jungles...

I just want them to be having fun experiencing things T/////T

Still not entirely clear wtf was up with him but yk what- being entirely capable of appearing human and instead choosing to manifest as a huge plume of smoke to piss off ur brother is iconic

Maybe I’m stupid but I feel like more people should be freaking out that netflix reposted a video saying ‘today is Will Byer’s birthday’? BirthdayGate is SO real‼️🤭
