I’m crying HBO knows who pays the bills…the official MAX, HBO, and White Lotus accounts keep posting Saxloch scenes on all their social media since the show ended 😭…and the comments are all people saying they wanna see more of them and they need a Ratliff family spin off lmaooo

[carigm]

Tell me why I was casually listening to music and Inbred by Ethel Cain started playing and I literally had to pause the song and look up the lyrics because…this is literally Lochlan and Saxon like??? 😭

Obviously I know the context of the song is completely different but I have White Lotus brain rot rn and god help me if this isn’t Lochlan’s POV of this whole thing I mean…

[carigm]

Sarah Catherine filming, Jason and Patrick busting out the white boy moves, Sam giggling and appearing mid video wrapped in a towel lmaooo….

This makes me kind of emotional because I remember how Jason said in an interview that when he first got to Thailand they put him in a beautiful villa all by himself and his wife would call him and he’d tell her it was beautiful, but he was actually very lonely. And then his on screen kids “adopted” him and started showing up to the villa every day 😭

[carigm]

a normal family.

[carigm]

Currently cooking up a Lochlan and Chelsea being somewhat connected by the narrative post, and it’s also making me see the obvious Lochlan/Saxon and Chelsea/Rick parallels….well.

[carigm]

Sam’s new photoshoot for VMan and wow…these are incredibly devastating pictures.

I think Lochy will be just fine back home if he gets into modeling. AU anyone? 😂

[carigm]

Just perfect. No notes…

[carigm]

Ummmm….care to elaborate?? these weirdos lmaoooo

[carigm]

I loooove this video. Sam (stuttering king) talking about Jason being concerned for him while they filmed Lochlan’s “death” scene.

Cracking up at Patrick cheesing in the back cause he already knows the story and Jon Gries raptly following along.

Mike White cut so much of the Ratliff storyline that I swear every day we find out about a new (and crucial) scene that didn’t make it into the show. And they are SO important to better understand the family dynamic.

A few weeks ago Patrick said there was a scene that got cut of Victoria talking to the boys about how they have to block strangers out and prioritize family. There’s a similar scene like that in episode 2 but her saying it directly to Saxon and Lochlan…I mean c’mon

Jason Isaacs just said in an interview that they cut a scene that actually contextualizes how rich and isolated the Ratliffs are. In episode 1, Timothy explains to the hotel staff that this was their first time flying in a commercial plane, and that they always fly private. Jason also said the Ratliffs would vacation in the Caribbean in PRIVATE mansions and they would avoid hotels, in order to be away from people.

Sara Catherine mentioned a scene from episode 8 where Piper tells Lochlan that the true cult is their family, and that they have to get away from each other because it’s all “borderline incestuous”. Apparently Lochlan was supposed to freak out when she says that and ask her if Saxon had told her anything.

Patrick just gave us the most insane lore drop and mentioned that there’s a cut scene where Lochlan has a nightmare in which he finds Saxon dead by the pool with vomit all over him (full on death vision)…and Lochlan wakes up and goes to try and find him in the kitchen. Minutes later, it’s Lochlan that ends up almost dead by the pool with vomit on his face.

Mike White….what is your damn problem???

[carigm]

He’s insane…not only this little skit but I watched the full interview and like the first thing he talked about was his fiancée wanting to know if he hooked up with anyone on the show and him being like “I can’t tell you” and then her seeing episodes 5 and 6 and being like “you hooked up with your brother???”

And then him and Jimmy Fallon start making a protein shake and he goes “unlike my brother, start with a clean blender” lmaooo

The Saxon/Lochlan dynamic has rotted his brain he’s obsessed 😭

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN. PATRICK? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

[carigm]

35k likes thread comparing Lochlan to Echo and Saxon/the rest of the family to Narcissus. This lady also compares him to Loki and Jesus Christ further down the thread….I fear we have never been more back.

The Ratliffs characters of all time tbh 🤷‍♀️

[carigm]

Wanna make it worse? I watched a Patrick interview (can’t remember which one it was now because I’ve consumed so much content about this show) where he mentions a scene in the early episodes of Victoria talking to the boys about how they need to keep their circle small and only trust each other, and that outsiders shouldn’t get in the way of family (a creepier version of the dinner scene where she echoes a similar sentiment). Patrick said the scene had a very weird/ominous vibe.

That coupled with the deleted scene of Piper telling Lochlan that their family was cult-y and incestuous-like and Lochlan getting freaked the fuck out thinking Saxon had spoken to her about what happened and I’m just like….why Mike White? Why??

The incest plotline seems to have been more fleshed out and a bigger component of the story that I’m really starting to believe that rumor that some higher ups told him to tone it down.

I honestly think the Ratliffs needed more focus because they’re such great characters and the story is so good, but sadly they weren’t done proper justice in such a meandering season imo

the deleted scene between piper and lochlan where they discuss the ratliffs being like a cult would have tied so nicely with tim wanting to kill them all since so many cult leaders end up as mass murders who kill their followers. not to mention the encouragement to only date those within the cult or bring them into it, perfectly fitting with the saxloch storyline. mike white why did you edit that scene out? life could have been a dream

[carigm]

Everyone look at these preppy, functional, and totally normal siblings…😂

Sarah Catherine, Sam and Patrick for the LA Times today.

[carigm]

Jason explaining what he thinks happens to the Ratliffs post vacation. Apparently Tim goes to jail, he thinks Victoria will have the hardest time adapting to their new life, and his kids will be fine (they’ll have to get jobs though)

Mike White we need a damn spin off!

Also Sam and Patrick are literally siblings they’re so cute in this video 😭

[carigm]

Today in “insane things said by Patrick Schwarzenegger during this press tour” I leave you with this quote from his post finale interview with Deadline, where he admits that Saxon was indeed grooming Lochlan, and doing so because he was looking for a real connection/relationship.

So many viewers are oversimplifying Saxon’s character but I love that Patrick just keeps it real.

[carigm]

“Worship me but don’t WORSHIP me” is an insane line to say to your brother who jerked you off and is now explaining himself, and who you’ve been unconsciously (?) grooming since the moment you set foot in Thailand.

Saxon Ratliff you’re not sane in the head….

Like I knew Lochlan was batshit insane, and I know they’re both deep in denial (especially Saxon), but this reaction is not the reaction a normal 26 year old adult would have after something like that happened with a younger sibling. The sexual component of the relationship only appeared in episode 5, but it was the “innocent” kind of worship that got them in trouble in the first place. That’s why you’re both here dude, because you blurred all the boundaries between the two of you. And that’s his response??

I swear to god that whole scene had me cracking up. Between Lochlan calling him a narcissist (deserved), and Saxon just trying to bury all of it so blame doesn’t have to be assigned…
