In honor of me finally watching Lost, here are some memes I made, part 1 (I’ve since seen variations of a few of the Desmond ones but with different images, and I’m glad we’re all on the same page)

Today it randomly struck me that Claire is the only woman in Lost Season 1 that hasn't been married before?? And one of the only women in the entire show to have never been married before.
Kate was married to Kevin (well, really Monica was married to Kevin), and then they split after Kate revealed her identity.
Sun is obviously married to Jin.
Shannon was apparently married before the island.
Rose is married to Bernard.
Juliet was married to fellow doctor Edmund Burke, before he sooo tragically got hit by a bus.
Claire somehow managed to dodge marriage throughout the entire series.

i really like rose and bernard because they weren't lovers that grew old together, they met when they were already older. and their first meeting was like the car-in-snow version of "let me open that jar of mayo for you queen". he landed on his face in the snow. but she was so charmed by his patheticguy swag that she even introduced herself first. i love them sm

Welcome to my newest AU: Lost but everyone who ever stepped foot on the island has some type of usable magic power from that moment on. Rules for this is every power has a drawback and it only activates at a critical moment to their character arc. Here's what powers I assigned them:
Jack Shephard: Can heal people using his own life force. He can only give up to 50% of his own life force to do this, if the injury can't be healed by that, he can't save a person. Jack's power doesn't activate until way into Season 6 because he didn't have faith in the island.
Kate Austen: Has the same power as Blake Belladonna in RWBY. Both are characters who are established as people on the run because of their past. Their powers reflect that. Whenever Kate is attacked, if she reacts fast enough, she can leave behind a shadow of herself to take the hit for her.
James "Sawyer" Ford: The angrier he gets, the more damage his punches do. On the other hand, if he gets genuinely sad and devastated, his physical abilities are significantly stunted and damage is almost non-existent.
Charlie Pace: Can focus on a person and play or sing a song that reflects their true nature. This can be used to gather information about them. He can only do this once per person.
Claire Littleton: She can sense danger, even when there otherwise isn't any indication of it.
Hugo "Hurley" Reyes: Can speak to the dead. Activates off-island.
Sun-Hwa Kwon: Can accelerate the growth of plants and the natural healing process of animals and people. She has to know and understand the species to do this.
Jin-Soo Kwon: Can communicate with the ocean to go with the "son of a fisherman" theme. If his head is underwater the ocean tries to kill him tho.
John Locke: Is the only one who doesn't have a power. He's like Mirabel Madrigal. He's deeply important to the story but he has 0 magic. He himself and other characters throughout the story think that he does during varying points of time but it's always the MiB messing with him. He realizes this at the end. Can you tell I like angst yet?
Michael Dawson: Can create a magic shield using his own stamina. Shield disappears when his stamina runs out.
Walter "Walt" Lloyd: Astral Projection. Self-explanatory.
Vincent: Ages normally and can die of old age but is otherwise virtually indestructible. Usually animals don't get any powers but Vincent's was given to him by Jacob directly to assist the survivors.
Sayid Jarrah: Can burn a person with his touch when he wants to. Doing this inflicts an equal amount of emotional pain to him as the physical pain he causes. I like angst.
Shannon Rutherford: Can master any skill within 30 minutes if she puts her mind to it. Never figures this out because she has been told that she's useless all her life and believes it. Only uses this once when she translates French but thinks those are lucky guesses.
Boone Carlyle: Blood-bending. Mostly gave this to him because everytime he angrily stares at someone you can tell that his blood is boiling. Never uses this once during his lifetime though.
Rose Henderson Nadler & Bernard Nadler: Have a soul link with one another. They can always tell how the other is feeling and neither of them can die while the other still lives as long as they're on good terms. Virtually indestructible unless you kill them at the exact same time but why the fuck would you.
Ana Lucia Cortez: Pyromancy. Fits her vibe. Also bound to stamina.
Elizabeth "Libby" Smith: Can read people's emotions.
Mr. Eko: Precognition. Can tell what he needs to do when and can anticipate things a couple seconds before they happen.
Benjamin Linus: Everytime he lies (to convince someone of his lie, sarcasm not included), it slightly alters reality in an unexpected way to make his lie appear like the truth. This is how Anthony Cooper gets to the island after Ben tells John about the magic box. The result of his lies is always unexpected and can backfire. He can't make something specific happen intentionally. His power activated during the purge.
Juliet Burke: Ice-bending. This has nothing to do with her character but I've previously seen Elizabeth Mitchell in Once Upon A Time and The Santa Clause and both times she plays a character that has something to do with winter. Also bound to stamina.
Ethan Rom: Superhuman strength. Self-explanatory. It actually takes multiple shots from 6 guns to take him down in this AU.
Harper Stanhope: Can see people's time of death over their head. Was very confused that Juliet's said 1977 and Ben's was way past his normal life expectancy.
Goodwin Stanhope: Idk what his power is but it's certainly not danger sense. 💀
Roger Linus: Can sense fear. Terrible power for a terrible man. I love Ben, I promise. I also love angst tho. The moment Ben killed him was the only time he didn't sense any fear from him, which scared the shit out of him.
Desmond David Hume: Activates his power after the events of "The Constant". Can see glimpses of people's past and future upon touching them. Can only do this once per person.
Frank Lapidus: Always lands safe. Literally always lands on his feet like a cat. Also applies to planes / helicopters he flies.
Charlotte Staples Lewis: Can speak any language after hearing it spoken once. Growing up with this was very confusing off-island.
Miles Straume: Reading the final thoughts of the dead. Self-explanatory.
Daniel Faraday: Stopping time for up to an hour. After using this power, he can't use it for 24 times the amount of time he stopped time for. Only can use it in present time.
Illana Verdansky: Able to tell when people lie.
Danielle Rousseau: Her bullet or arrow always hits the target unless the target specifically blocks it.
Alexandra Rousseau: Can make herself invisible. Used for stealth.
Karl Martin: Can accelerate his speed. Bound to stamina.
Mikhail Bakunin: Telepathy.
Eloise Hawking: Chain Reaction. Once a day for 5 minutes she can see the effects of every action of hers she thinks about.
Charles Widmore: Can take a glimpse at people's destiny. Only can do this once per person.
Richard Alpert: Can't be killed by anything ever. Can't even die of natural causes. Can't die.

Faraday and the Zodiac Passengers
After a recent rewatch of the "LOST" Season Five episode, (5.02) "The Lie", I had come to a realization about the Oceanic castaways left behind, following the Oceanic Six and Ben Linus' departure.
The second half of the episode featured the Oceanic castaways, Juliet Burke and the Kahana freighter survivors being under attack by the Others in 1954 with flaming arrows. I recall seeing many figures attempt to flee into the jungle in order to survive. But now . . . I find myself wondering why did all of the remaining inhabitants at the Oceanic beach camp skip through time. Why all of them? It occurred to me that the five castaways who had accompanied Daniel Faraday on his second trip to the freighter should have been on that beach with the following:
*James "Sawyer" Ford
*Dr. Juliet Burke
*Dr. Daniel Faraday
*Miles Straume
*Dr. Charlotte Lewis
*Rose Nadler
*Bernard Nadler
*John Locke
Why? Those five extras (including Neil "Frogurt") were the castaways who had accompanied Daniel on that last trip to the freighter before Ben turned the Donkey Wheel before the time skipping began. Along with the Zodiac raft, "the five castaways - Frogurt included - probably "Frogurt" and the four other castaways skipped time with Daniel. As for the rest of the Oceanic castaways, they should have remained behind at the beach camp, in December 2004-January 2005.

LOST: Rose Nadler [INFJ 9w1]
MBTI Type: INFJ Rose, much like Locke, has a special connection to the unseen and knows things about the island, what it means, and the effect it has on people, without anyone needing to tell her. She knows the island has healed her, that her husband is still alive (even though there’s no evidence of him being so), and that others have potential that they are unaware of. She looks for that…

[Image IDs:
Post from Michael Gold: "Kevin McCarthy has been staring at his phone for much of the fifth vote. But just before his time to vote, he took a very large, dramatic sigh, then voted for himself for the fifth time."
Part of transcript: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA): "This is not about prom king. This is not about a pastor. This is about electing a person to sit in the speaker chair so that we can all get to work."
Post from Annie Karni: "I'm in the speaker's lobby peering into the chamber, and I can see a Republican member who is doing some shoe shopping on their phone."
Headline from CNN (credited to Sam Fossum): Biden says standoff on House floor is "embarrassing"
Part of New York Times article (credited to Haiyun Jiang): "Representative Kat Cammack, Republican of Florida, nominated by McCarthy but was repeatedly disrupted by Democrats who took offense to her speech, which accused them of lacking sportsmanship and bringing alcohol and popcorn to the vote series." Picture of Kat Cammack speaking from behind a lecture as the people behind her are in various states of boredom.
Post from Michael Gold: "At one point, Kat Cammack rhetorically asked Republicans, "Are we the party of Reagan?" A chorus of Democrats called back, "No.""
Text (unknown source): As Pelosi watches with disdain, McCarthy moves from nemesis to something sadder.
Post from Michael Gold: "We're going directly into an eighth vote - there's a Hanukkah joke that I won't bother to make because it will be edited out - and it's Brian Mast of Florida's turn to nominate McCarthy."
Part of unknown article: Photograph of several representatives, with one yawning, captioned "Collective boredom has set in in the House chamber."
Post from Michael Gold: "Dan Bishop said the House had an opportunity to elect the first Black speaker yesterday, referring to Byron Donalds. A chorus of Democrats rose and started to chant "Hakeem," since he just as easily could have been talking about Jeffries, whom Democrats have been consistently united behind for two days. "
Post from Michael Gold: "Matt Gaetz again casts his vote for Trump."
Part of transcript, timestamped at 13:50: Ninth vote confirmed. No surprise there then - McCarthy loses for a ninth time. Here we go again...
Text: Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi spent part of her first days as a humble rank-and-file member conspicuously reading a New Yorker article on the House floor, titled "What Kevin McCarthy Will Do to Gain Power," as she watched her would-be successor struggle through nine unsuccessful floor votes in an attempt to claim her old job.
Post from Michael Gold: "Lauren Boebert, who has been consistently voting for people who are not McCarthy, cast her vote for Kevin Hern of Oklahoma. She teased that she was voting for a "Kevin," then read off a long list of Hern's achievements, before telling us her vote." Picture of Lauren Boebert speaking, with people around here in various states of disgruntlement at having been stuck here for so long.
Text: I've counted at least five iPads, and three novels in the hands of politicians - tools to help pass the time. Democrat Larry Nadler appears to be so engrossed with a large paperback volume he has not bothered to look up through dozens of ballots and several loud rounds of applause.
Post from Maggie Astor: "It's official: With a 10th vote guaranteed, this is no longer the most protracted speaker election since 1923. It is the most protracted speaker election since 1859". A blurry picture of the House, with all of the members blurry but visibly feeling the effects of the process. The photo is credited to Haiyun Jiang/New York Times.
End ID]
Kevin McCarthy losing four five six consecutive Speaker of the House votes (so far) is legitimately one of the funniest things to ever happen. This is 2023's boat stuck in the Suez Canal. Something important has ceased working for the most hilarious possible reason and we are all watching desperate attempts to get it working again while secretly hoping it does not, and I think that's beautiful
