This is so aggressively 2004

9:37 am, sitting in class pretending to work

do me a favor and reblog this and put in the tags what time it is for you and what you're currently doing/thinking about

Would Shannon probably call me a slur given the chance? Yes. Would I still defend her character to the ends of the Earth? Of course.

Shannon Rutherford Defense Squad reporting for duty!

Shannon Rutherford Defense Squad, unite!

Point #1: Self-deprecation. Shannon's been told she's "useless," stupid, flaky, etc for most of her damn life (I blame Sabrina Carlyle, may she rot in hell), and at some point, she started to believe it. We saw the last shreds of true confidence leave her when Sabrina the Middle-Aged Witch denied her the opportunity to take the internship she earned. Shannon knew she would succeed, she was so proud of herself (and rightfully so!) for having earned a spot, and she had to give it up and listen to her evil stepmother tell her yet again that she didn't have what it takes. It was her breaking point, and from there on out she became determined to be exactly who Sabrina said she was. Why should she try to be anything else? No one believed in her, anyway, not even Boone, who constantly repeated his mother's catchphrases. Shannon was forced into a box, and though she tried to break out of it several times, she kept being forced back in until she stopped resisting.

Point #2: Beauty and Brains. Shannon is smart as hell. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to learn a new language AT ALL, let alone without formally studying it?? She became at least halfway fluent in French just by being around people who spoke it and picking it up. THAT TAKES SOME SERIOUS BRAINS, PEOPLE. I studied French for 5 years and I don't think I was ever as good at it as she was. She is innovative, she solves problems - using Vincent to track Walt when she saw him in the jungle? Genius. Getting Charlie to catch that fish? Hilarious and inspired.

Point #3: Grief and Trauma. Shannon loses her dad very suddenly at an early age - I was just a bit younger than her when I lost my dad in a similarly unexpected way, and let me tell you I would not wish that shit on ANYONE. It changes you. It alters your soul. Shannon's world was turned upside down, and she was left with a stepvillain who truly didn't care if she lived or died. (Fuck Sabrina Carlyle, have I mentioned that?) Even after enduring a trauma like that, Shannon remained optimistic and worked hard to get the future she wanted. Had she had even an ounce of support from Sabrina, things would have been entirely different, but "oh no, the teenage girl is kind of flighty and doesn't always know exactly what she wants, so instead of actually teaching her anything, I need to teach her a LESSON and cut her off completely because I'm an evil bi--" Okay, I'm done, I'm calm, I'm fine. I detest Sabrina Carlyle a completely normal amount.

Point #4: Love. Shannon had such an immense capacity for love! She bonds with Claire and Sun early on, and those two are beloved (for good reason), so why does Shannon get overlooked and hated on? (Misogyny.) She obviously loved her dad pretty fiercely. She bonds with Walt, she takes care of Vincent, and of course, she is so tender toward Sayid.

There is so much more I could say, but we will leave it at that for now. In short, Shannon Rutherford deserves the world, and I will stand ten toes down to defend her any day of the week.

/Unprovoked?/

I raise you: Actual good person whose circumstances lead them into an unethical lifestyle. They’re dangerous because you can’t see through their manipulation—there isn’t one. The concern they show for others is genuine, and the things they do are because they actually want to help. But when push comes to shove, they will betray you (they won’t like it, they do care for you) because they have to in order to survive. The betrayal hits harder because it wasn’t a ruse.

I am, as always, talking about Kate Austen.

10 Traits That Make a Character Secretly Dangerous

❥ Disarming Humor. They’re the life of the party. Everyone’s laughing. No one’s noticing how much they aren’tsaying.

❥ Laser-Sharp Observation. They see everything. Who’s nervous. Who’s lying. Who would be easiest to break. And they don’t miss.

❥ Unsettling Calm. Even in chaos, they stay still. Smiling. Thinking. Calculating.

❥ Weaponized Empathy. They know how to make people trust them. Because they know exactly what people want to hear.

❥ Compartmentalization. They can do something brutal, then eat lunch like nothing happened.

❥ Controlling Niceness. The kind of kindness that’s sharp-edged. You feel guilty for not loving them.

❥ Mirroring Behavior. They become whatever the person in front of them needs. It's not flattery. It’s survival—or manipulation.

❥ Selective Vulnerability. They know how to spill just enough pain to make you drop your guard.

❥ History of “Bad Luck”. Ex-friends, ex-lovers, ex-colleagues… they all left under “unfortunate” circumstances. But the pattern says otherwise.

❥ Unshakeable Confidence in Their Morality. They don’t think they’re the villain. That makes them scarier.

writing is insane because one day you open a doc and 4 hours later you’ve invented an entire fake religion and a girl named Opal who commits arson

crossposting here bc this tactic needs to spread like wildfire

You forgot Jin!

one of the main rules of screenwriting is don't have multiple characters names start with the same letter and the Lost writers were like HAH! Anyway here's Sawyer, Sun, Sayid and Shannon. Here's Charlie and Claire. Here's James, Juliet and Jack.

Chicago, Wicked, Mean Girls, and School of Rock

reblog if the first musical you listened to was not Hamilton

The thing about Lost is that all of the men are so physically and aesthetically attractive, but their personalities are the most chemically revolting things shown on TV since Beverly Crusher fucked a ghost on Star Trek.

justice for Michael Dawson because everyone leaves him out of the hot Lost men conversation but I think he should be included

Lost fandom kinda dead, reblog if you're a loser

put three f/f ships you like in the tags. doesnt matter how obscure or embarrassing the media, go for it. and no, your m/m ship doesnt count as women

People who use this as proof that Wayne wasn’t abusive towards her are so funny to me because not only do victims of abuse lie to protect their own dignity (especially when questioned by hostile individuals like the Marshal(l)), but Kate is literally a capital L Liar TM.

You expect me to believe Little Miss “I don’t know how to use a gun” x2, who poisoned Michael and then was like “I can’t believe you think I’d do that!” was telling the truth to Edward, who was not only being really annoying/antagonistic, but also had his own weird psychosexual obsession? No!

I mostly blame the writers for not only never really expanding on Kate’s relationships to Wayne and Edward, but also for not letting Kate be an unabashed liar more.

I feel like an integral part of Kate’s character is missed out on if you believe she was telling the truth when she told the Marshal that Wayne never touched her

Well, yes.

I think Shannon Rutherford and Quinn Fabray would get along.

Lost + text posts

Also, she’s been suffocated before, so the suffering is probably increased by the PTSD.

I hate the drowning scene at the ORTBO I feel so sick thinking of Hellyna going through it. Helly was so confused (first time outside, Irving is drowning her, she had just discovered she's an Eagan) but also Helena's last moments as Helly (the closest thing she's had to freedom) are getting waterboarded by the one person she thought could fill the void of paternal love she craves, because he had already done it with the other half of herself. Nobody comes to help her until she turns into Helly, Milchick hesitates even after she has given him a direct order in between getting drowned and she probably came back to being punished for this the same way Cobel used to punish Mark every time something went wrong in S1. And then she's told she has to go back to MDR.

Shannon on the island

Only person on the island who wasn’t mysteriously hairless.

And the haters just don’t get that.

Imagine how fucking heartbreaking it must’ve been for Shannon to realise that Boone loved her the same way every other man “loved” her.

Like, sure they were step-siblings, but that doesn’t really mean anything unless you choose for it to mean something. He would’ve been one of the few people in her life who she thought chose to and wanted to spend time with her, not for her looks or her money, but just for her. One of the few people who genuinely cared about her. And then she realises that he just wants her for the same reason every other man wants her. He wants her to be safe, but not for her sake, for his. He wants to take care of her, but only so he can have her. She, in actuality, meant little more to him than she meant to every other man she’d come across - and that must’ve been absolutely soul-crushing

matthew and evangeline behind the scenes of lost (2004)

i said that the natalieposting would continue and i MEANT it

okay but kate and sun had such great chemistry together and if lost went in a different direction, i think they'd make such a cute fucking couple omg

The real mysterious island was the friends we made along the way

It was never about the polar bears

It was never about the hatch or the dharma or even the others

These things were great and without them the show wouldn’t have been the same but it’s all fluff

At the end of the day all the show was about was each other

Our relationships and their fallouts

Our meetings, and our passing bys

Our constants, and our variables

Really what lost was about can be summed up in this sequence

sayid throws sawyer a mango

Despite sawyer being... well sawyer

Sayid throws him a mango

Boone fixes Shannon’s sunglasses

Jin watchs over sun

And the tabula rasa is about being better-and how else to do that than with others

And that’s the reason the lost finale, and the whole show is perfect-because sayid, a torturer, throws a mango to the man who called him a terrorist

And then, even in death they are together, they all are

That’s what the shows about-that’s what the island gave us
