Lost: The Minecraft Server

AKA Lost doesn't happen, "The Island" is just the survival server these guys play on. 

Jack is the guy who tries to organize the server and hopelessly fails. I cannot emphasize this enough, Jack is not good at Minecraft. He doesn't even really enjoy it. He's just playing out of obligation to the server owner Jacob who dragged him in as a mod.

Locke is the guy who goes off to defeat the Ender Dragon alone and reads the whole end poem weeping. He disappears for extremely long stretches of time. Sometimes, he's mining, and sometimes, he comes back with an elder guardian head.

Sawyer just griefs at first… But then he realizes he enjoys Minecraft more than he’d like to admit. And what’s more? He loves the thrill of fighting mobs more than griefing. He begrudgingly becomes the protector of spawn/new members.

Everything Kate holds dear fits in her ender chest. Her idea of a house is a two-block-high hideaway carved into the side of a mountain. She initially isn’t invested in the game, either… until she gets emotionally attached to her horse.

Sayid used to be a part of an anarchy server and quit the game for a while. He normally just messes around in creative mode, but after getting dragged into playing on the server, he makes redstone farms. An Ethoslab-type.

Jin fishes for hours at a time. No autoclicker or anything. He finds it relaxing. Sun's the farmer and makes endless fields of wheat. The two of them like Minecraft more because they're playing together rather than the actual game mechanics. They eventually leave the server to play Stardew Valley, instead.

Shannon is initially a builder/griefer—she'll terraform other people's builds to make her own stuff, and then be like "oh i thought you abandoned that house, sorry xoxo."

Charlie and Claire are both builders who make cute little houses in the flower forest together. Charlie is super into Minecraft and gets Claire into it by proxy.

Michael is originally the person who builds infrastructure around spawn. He’s not particularly into it—he plays to connect with Walter, who’s a huge fan of Minecraft YouTube. Specifically Mumbo Jumbo. After Michael leaves the server, Jack attempts to take over his responsibilities and fails miserably.

Hurley is not good at building, but he'll drop off gifts in front of people's bases and build them the most atrocious looking wool statues you've ever seen (like the YouTuber Skizzleman). He’s one of the OG Minecraft fans of the bunch.

Desmond logs onto the server accidentally. Honestly, he’s not even sure how he got here. The concept of video games baffles him. There’s a solid three weeks where he glitches into bedrock—Locke finds him on a mining expedition and saves him.

Penny isn't whitelisted on the server, either; Desmond fights to get her added.

Ben does not place or break a single block. He just steals from people’s chests. He gets the Diamonds! achievement before Stone Age.

Juliet is one of the best builders of the bunch. She and Sawyer create a hidden base in the Nether that they live in together.

The server owner Jacob will sometimes build bedrock obelisks. Genuinely for no reason. Just because.

Richard is a mod in creative mode. He breaks said obelisks.

[faradaysconstant]

What if everything that happened here, happened for a reason?

[jonny-versace]

Laughed against my will like six times at Sawyer in this episode where Hurley tricks him into being an actual decent human man..... Is it over for me? To be clear he's still thoroughly middle of pack as far as my men of Lost ranking goes but this is worrying

[spiltmiiilk]

(I originally put this up only in the community but i realised i can share it to there from here) after this poll is done i will do one for the women of lost too! sorry if i missed anyone i ran out of space, leave a comment if i did!

All Of Lost so i can show them that one lost out of context video. ITSO FUNNY I CANT.

[pwnyta]

I was thinking about if LOST characters had powers... sorta like HEROES or XMEN or something... So heres what I got-

Jack- Healing touch. Obviously. Its not like super POWERFUL healing but it does fluctuate with his emotions. Like the more stressed he gets the better his healing is. I think that fits Jack real well. Also its only his hands & he cant heal himself if he cant properly reach the spot (like his back)).

Kate- Shapeshifting! OBVIOUSLY. At first its limited to people similar to herself (thin white women) but as time goes on she starts learning to go crazy. But its still limited to humans.

Sawyer- Anger Empowerment! Hulk-like but without the cool transformation.

Juliet- Time Acceleration (by touch). Hear me out... she CAN heal as a doctor but if she's not paying attention the time acceleration could go so far as to even ROT whats in her hands. So shes mostly scared to use her powers.

John- Danger Detection. The trouble is hes more confident in his power than himself which causes problems(see Ben).

Ben- Mental Manipulation (voice activated, sorta like the persuasion power from HEROES). OBVIOUSLY. Ben's mental manipulation can also override Johns Danger Detection which is why John keeps getting clowned on by that gremlin. However he has a far harder time dealing with people with stronger wills.

Hurley- Empathetic Mimicry. He can use others powers with an associated feeling. Like Hurley getting pissed at Sawyer and kicking the shit outta him using his own rage based power enhancement.

Sayid- Absolute Superpower Opposition. From defending himself against Sawyer, to surviving all of Rousseaus nonsense to outplaying Ben... I think it works for him. However he can be hurt by like... guns and be regular manipulated by Ben if hes sad. But since the mundane is still a threat itd give a reason why hes still the hyper prepared little freak he is.

Sun- Mental Pressure. Her power can cause paranoia and such things. She didnt use it basically at all before the crash... but after returning home without Jin she started exercising that power. Freaking her father out and even screwing with Ben.

Jin- Enhanced Durability. Nothing has ever happened to him. Hes fine guys and if hes fine Suns fine. Guys believe me.

Charlie- Inaudibility (can be completely silent (in an AOE). Ironically (since hes a bloody rock GOD). He hated it before his addiction but then he found it to be quite useful for sneaking around.

Claire- Enhanced Survivability. She was in a house when it fuckin EXPLODED. And also lived in the woods all by herself. Shes just a creature.

Michael- Drawing Creation. Its not something hes ever thought to push. He just creates little animated cards for his son but later uses his creations to torment the people on the boat till they take themselves out.

Desmond- Precognition. Obviously. But his powers are pretty scrambled and especially so after he gets to the island. Weirdly his precog works weirdly on Sayid sometimes he gets absolutely nothing, sometimes he gets visions so clear its suspicious. He doesnt ask(it depends on whether his vision might hurt or help Sayid due Sayids ability. It either completely blocks it or enhances it).

Rousseau- Improbable Weapon Proficiency. DUH. All her weird little traps. Let her cook.

...I could do others but... I think this is good enough. I mean most are either very obvious or... like I HAVE NO IDEA. Frank has flight. Miles can talk to ghosts. Shannon... IDFK? BOONE? Honestly who cares.

LOST

10 years ago today, the last episode of LOST was aired. I recently watched it with my mom and I loved it so, Happy 10 Years LOST!

LOST character headcanons

here's a comprehensive list of my pronoun, gender, sexuality, and relationship headcanons for just about all the characters! this post will not have any spoilers.

when i say "with:" and list a BUNCH of people it doesn't necessarily mean that i think they're dating all of those people. by "with" it could mean anywhere from "dating and in love with" to "they banged once" lol. ill elaborate on which is which, tho. keep in mind i think that everyone on the island was definitely VERY sexually active and didn't give a fuck about keeping it a secret. i mean, they were all surviving on a deadly island together— why bother keeping secrets?

[walkofpenance]

for the fandom asks thing, i'll say: "the handmaid's tale", "stranger things", and "lost" since you've finished that now!

The Handmaid’s Tale

the first character i ever fell in love with: From memory, because I always love a female villain, Serena! Not exactly “love” but I was interested in her immediately! Or Emily!

a character that i used to love/like, but now do not: Probably Nick, although I’m very interested to see his story!

a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not: June & Nick for similar reasons above! I never shipped them though, to be fair!

my ultimate favorite character™: Honestly any Serena, June or Emily! I’m consistently interested in them

prettiest character: Serena!

my most hated character: Fred makes me feel sick :)

my OTP: (I actually don’t ship anybody but I wouldn’t mind a Moira and Emily pairing if it happened)

my NOTP: Anybody with Fred

favourite episode: Mayday, if you know then you know :) BUT The Last Ceremony has stuck in my head ever since I first watched it. It was an emotional rollercoaster, I went from “Normal episode then” to numb to happy to sad all in the space of half an hour :) So....

saddest death: I’ve not actually been sad at any deaths so far but I suppose the premise of Eden’s death is sad

favourite season: Season 2, I think!

least favourite season: Season 3, not because it’s bad, I mean my favourite episode is from that season but I think that’s when the writers were like “okay we need to speak this up now”

character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate: Nick :))))

my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: Serena

my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: Janine! Honestly this poor woman :)

my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship: None, I don’t think

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship: Moira & Emily

Stranger Things

the first character i ever fell in love with: From memory I do remember loving Joyce almost immediately

a character that i used to love/like, but now do not: UMMMMMMM probably Jonathan, not because he’s a bad character I just don’t really care for him I guess! Hopper needs better writing, too

a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not:  Max & Lucas, Hopper & Joyce

my ultimate favourite character™: Either Steve, Eleven, Will or Max. Max gets a mention because I remember being surprised at the fact I actually liked her in S2

prettiest character: Karen Wheeler or Nancy Wheeler!

my most hated character: Most hated is probably Billy :)))

my OTP: Joyce & Bob and maybe Mike & Eleven, I like them together and I guess their aging shows how relationships can change overtime!

my NOTP: Karen & Billy :) 

favourite episode: I can’t really remember MANY episodes but I LOVED The Sauna Test in S3 despite my criticisms on the seasons :) And I also loved the last bunch of Seasons 1 & 2, I need to rewatch this show SO badly 

saddest death: Bob :( And S1 Eleven was devastating, too

favourite season: Season 1! The show needs to go back to its roots  and just aim at being fun

least favourite season: Season 3 just because I can remember the stupid Dustin & Suzie sing-a-long scene, it was more annoying than funny and I just wanted it to get back to the action scene 

character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate: I don’t think the cast is big enough for me to hate anybody that people love to be honest!

my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: Steve, would he be counted as a piece of trash still???

my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: Will :((

my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship: None!

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship: Joyce & Hopper, but again I really don’t ship anybody in this show!

LOST

the first character i ever fell in love with: From memory I think it was Claire????? 

a character that i used to love/like, but now do not: OK I love Sayid a lot but him changing personality in S6 did my head in even the second time I watched it :)) I understand it, I just hate it a lot

a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not: Kate & Sawyer maybe, but I do prefer Kate & Saywer to Jack & Kate for multiple reasons :) 

my ultimate favourite character™: Charlie Pace, Sun-Hwa Kwon, Juliet Burke, Benjamin Linus, probably any four of those! Also ADORE Hurley, Claire & Desmond

prettiest character: Kate Austen! 

my most hated character: Jack Shephard :) Honestly I hate this dick head more than anything, his prominence ALMOST made me turn off :) I just hate him with a passion :) When I’m sat there rooting for BEN over Jack then I must have some serious issues with Jack :) He had some really good moments but overall he was such an obnoxious irritant of a character 

my OTP: Charlie & Claire <33333 and Rose & Bernard!

my NOTP: Shannon & Sayid, fucking YUCK :)

favourite episode: The Greatest Hits, OR Through The Looking Glass Part 3 purely for its cliffhanger! The Constant and Flashes Before Your Eyes aswell :))

saddest death: Jin & Sun and Charlie :) 

favourite season: Season 1 in my rewatches isn’t as good to be honest BUT I do love Season 1 a lot :) I may have to say Season 3 though

least favourite season: Season 5! I don’t hate it but I just was least interested in it than the others

character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate: UMMMMMM is Jack loved in this fandom??? Cos if so, Jack :)  

my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: Sawyer!

my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: John Locke always deserved better :) He was annoying at times and I did find him quite selfish throughout a LOT of the show, but I felt sorry for him through the entire show :)

my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship:  None!

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship:Juliet & Sawyer maybe??? Again I love both characters though but I think I was DONE with relationships at this point

[whitewolfofwinterfell]

Thoughts from my recent LOST re-watch

There is absolutely no coherence to this, so please forgive me. It’s just a very long list of all of the random thoughts I’ve had throughout my re-watch of LOST about my opinions on characters, ships, plot lines etc. and how they’ve changed or stayed the same. Feel free to send me an ask if you want me to expand on any of these points. 

Season 1 is perfection. Literal perfection. I can’t find a single criticism for it. The mystery, the suspense, the anticipation, the characterisation, the plot, the build-up. Just everything. It doesn’t matter how many times I watch it, it’s still so impactful and the pilot is one of the best pilots of any show I’ve ever seen

It’s still so funny that all of the characters so happen to have the perfect combination of skills to survive - Jack the Doctor, Locke the Hunter, Sayid the Soldier and Kate the Tracker

I always knew it anyway, but the Jack/Kate/Sawyer triangle really is awful. And the fact that they (attempted) to bring Ana Lucia into it and then actually did bring Juliet in to make it a love square is even worse. 

Jack and Juliet actually kind of make sense as a romantic pairing and have good chemistry (but Suliet still rule all) 

Kate is the worst character on the show. I’m sorry, I’ve tried to like her but I never have. She doesn’t undergo any development until around the time she gets Aaron in season 5 - she kills her father in cold blood and justifies it by saying he was a violent drunk (hello, there’s nothing that can justify murder with maybe the exception of self defence), she then goes on the run where she constantly lies, schemes and manipulates to get what she wants, which ultimately leads to her best friend getting killed in the crossfire. From the second she lands on the island she consistently plays Sawyer and Jack off one another by taking advantage of their feelings for her without any consideration to how that impacts them 

John Locke is an asshole a majority of the time and I really don’t like him (this doesn’t include pre-island and flash-sideways John, who’s a sweetheart) 

Charlie Pace is also an asshole and I don’t know how I didn’t see this sooner

I’ll never be over Boone’s death or the fact that he died for nothing because of Locke

Walt getting taken from the raft is still one of the most shocking and haunting moments of the series

Hugo Reyes is the definition of cinnamon roll, I love him with every fibre of my being and LOST wouldn’t be what is is without him

Kate treats Sawyer like shit from the beginning and he deserves so much better. I’m not gonna lie, I still don’t understand how or why Sawyer falls in love with her

Also what is that bullshit with them having sex in the cage? I know it’s supposed to be this hot-we-could-die-at-any-moment raw sex but it just comes across as very weird?? Even if they don’t know there’s cameras on them, they’re outside in the open where anybody could see them at any time

Shannon is a very misunderstood character who deserved better. So. much. better.

I still hate Ben, but he’s one of the best written villains in television I’ve ever seen

Charlie/Claire is the worst romance in the world. They have no chemistry, Charlie develops an obsession with her and practically stalks her, forces her to do what he wants her to do, constantly tries to take over with Aaron despite having absolutely no right to. There is just nothing even remotely redeeming about this ship and I still don’t get it

Locke’s musical theme makes me cry every single time 

And following on from that, as much as I dislike Locke, his flashbacks always make me cry. “Don’t tell me what I can’t do, ever!”, when he gets in the wheelchair in the hospital after his father has pushed him out of the window and when he cries in the car after his father tells him he’s not wanted. It’s heartbreaking 

I still can’t get over all the amazing character connections - Charlie saving Nadia, Sayid meeting Kate’s father and Kelvin during the war, Jack meeting Desmond before the island, Christian being Claire’s father, Christian and Ana Lucia going to Australia together, Sawyer meeting Christian in the bar etc. - it’s all so beautifully done in a way that feels authentic and links the characters (even the ones with more superficial ties) together so well

Michael is not a bad person and is unfairly hated. He’s just a father that did what any parent would do to keep their child safe 

Hurley and Libby are sweet but severely underdeveloped

I actually really dig the episode about Paulo and Nikki

Eko has such a touching and emotional arc, which although short, is very well rounded

The Other 48 Days is still one of the most chilling episodes of the series

It’s sad that the Tailies were all killed off so prematurely, I feel like they all had potential to be more

Jin’s development is so unappreciated. He’s probably the character that goes through the most amount of growth from the pilot to the finale

I know I should feel sorry for Claire (and part of me does), but I still find her too annoying to feel anything but dislike for her

Desmond and Penny’s love story is freakin’ beautiful and nothing can compare

Also how cute are Rose and Bernard? I’ve come to appreciate their relationship so much. They’re literally just two people who love each other in the purest way and want to be together. It’s so beautiful

Sayid is one of the best characters on the show and my love for him has been reaffirmed 

I understand the appeal of Sayid and Shannon but Nadia was Sayid’s soul mate and no one can tell me otherwise

Jack is probably the most unstable character on the show but it’s never acknowledged

Am I the only one that notices that Charlie flat-out lies about not being able to swim? In season 1 when Joanna is drowning Charlie tells Jack he can’t go in to help her because he can’t swim, but he consistently dreams about swimming to save Aaron, Desmond has a vision of him saving Claire from drowning and in season 2 he flat out tells everyone he’s swimming junior champion and swims down to the Looking Glass. Is this Charlie being a liar or simply a fault of the writers, I wonder? 

The episode where Sawyer, Jin and Hurley fix up the Dharma car still makes me so happy

Sun and Jin’s relationship is one of the best developed fictional ships I’ve ever seen. It’s so rare that we actually get to see a married couple who are on the verge of breaking up actually love each other enough to work their asses off to make it work and end up being happier and more in love with each other more than ever before

The Others are still absolutely terrifying in seasons 1 and 2 before we find out who they are

Charlie and Hurley’s friendship is overrated 

Adding to that some underrated dynamics are - Sayid and Desmond (in The Constant Sayid blindly does everything in his power to help Desmond despite not understanding what the hell is going on with him), Kate and Sayid, Hurley and Sayid, Michael, Sawyer and Jin, Shannon and Walt, Boone and Shannon, Eko and Ana.

Jack is by far the most flawed protagonist I’ve seen in any show

I’m intrigued to know what direction Ana Lucia’s character would’ve gone in if she’d survived

The musical themes are still the best of any show I’ve ever seen. I love that each character has their own theme which perfectly encapsulates them

The way that everyone just forgets about Claire after she goes missing and don’t even attempt to find her is so bad. Particularly when you consider the fact that whenever anyone else has gone missing or were kidnapped - Jack, Kate, Michael, Hurley - they’ve gone on a rescue mission immediately 

I’ve always been indifferent to Sun but I realise now that I don’t like her. She’s very hard to connect with and in the last seasons she becomes completely irrelevant and has no personality what-so-ever

Jack reacts so coldly to finding out that Claire is his sister. Like he finds out, he’s shocked, has tears in his eyes but nothing changes in how he behaves and thinks about Claire and Aaron, which makes no sense (but I’m glad we got to see this explored in the Flash Sideways)

Danielle and Alex Rousseau deserved better. So much better

All these people that accuse the show of having an abundance of plot-holes just aren’t paying attention or want everything to be spoon fed to them. There’s actually only about 1 or 2 inconsistencies big enough to be considered a plot-hole (the main one being that Danielle actually sees Ben face-to-face when he kidnaps Alex, but later on doesn’t recognise him when she captures him in a net) and everything is tied together perfectly

I didn’t realise before but season 5 is actually a pretty bad season. The most redeeming aspect is Suliet

Did anyone else notice that Naveen’s (Sayid) accent regresses into his own English accent in season 5 and 6? 

I actually hate the entire concept of Jacob and the MIB and what was done with them

Jack really does become Locke in seasons 5 and 6 

Following on from that, I really can’t blame Sawyer for wanting to murder Jack in season 5/6. He saunters back onto the island like he’s King of the Island thinking he’s some hero who’s going to save everyone he left behind whilst also fixing himself without any consideration to the repercussions. He completely destroys the life Sawyer and Juliet have spent 3 damn years building which results in a lot of people dying, including Juliet and he doesn’t even really seem that aware of how badly he’s fucked up 

We were robbed of a Frank Lapidus centric episode and flashbacks. Robbed, I tell you

I love Jack and Kate as a ship, but when they get back to the island in season 5 they’re very OOC (which is a writing problem imo). Kate wanders off and leaves Jack behind all the time and they don’t really stick together which is just not like Jack and Kate at all. No matter what they always stick together 

Sawyer’s character development is amazing. I love him so much 

The Temple is dumb. The concept of it, the people we’re introduced to - everything. It should’ve just been scrapped 

I also don’t understand what the hell happens to Sayid when he’s drowned in The Temple???? It’s so random and inconsistent, it makes no sense

I still love the concept of the Flash Sideways and don’t understand how people can hate on it or claim it doesn’t matter. It’s so important in so many ways 

But I still don’t quite understand why Jack and Juliet have a son in the Flash Sideways? I understand why Jack has a son, because it makes sense for him to work out his ‘daddy issues’, but I don’t understand why Juliet is the mother and what the significance is of that

We really should’ve got more Desmond centric episodes

The Constant is still one of the best episodes of television ever made

The older I get the more I understand and appreciate the religious and theological meanings of the show

I still don’t understand how or why Hurley starts being able to see ghosts. Like that ability just comes out of no where with little to no explanation 

It also gets very confusing trying to distinguish between literal ghosts and when the MIB has taken on a dead person’s form

I understand now that one of the many reasons LOST speaks to me on a personal level, and always has, is that I too have felt lost (both metaphorically and literally) throughout my life and I’m able to connect to every character on that basis regardless of whether I like them or not

The characterisation on this show is still second to none. The way each character has distinct lives that are fully fleshed out by flashbacks and that we get to understand every intimate detail about them - the worst thing they’ve ever done, their happiest moment, their greatest fear, the person they love most - I’m yet to find another show that writes its characters in such a complex and fulfilling way

I will always love the show and stand by it being one of the best shows ever, but as the seasons progress it does decline in quality, especially seasons 5 and 6 

The finale is still perfect though. I cry like a baby every single time - the church, the way Jack cries in his dad’s arms, it’s just too much
