a thought: what if fak is trying hard to get cl**rmy back together because he thought it could "fix" carmy and get him to stop acting like a michelin machine, thinking that the reason for this behavior was because he wanted to get his mind off the break up......... but in actuality, all carmy is thinking about is how to get syd a star
like he's so consumed about making it up to sydney and making sure she doesn't leave that he hasn't had time to dwell on the break up and while he feels bad (and clearly avoidant about it), he really thought that whole chapter with claire is behind him

Headcanons of Krel living on earth because he’s my favorite and I love him and I haven’t seen anyone do this yet so I feel like I have to
Tumblr media
^^^^^because of this very moment I love the idea of Mary and Darci befriending Krel.
Since Aja,Vex and Eli went back to Akaridion-5, Mother was destroyed, and Claire was busy with Trollhunting stuff, earth gets pretty lonely. So Mary and Darci adopt him into their friend group. 
At first Krel was a little apprehensive to joining their friend group, but he quickly warmed up to it because, he, being Krel, loves the attention.
like I can totally see Mary and Darci taking Krel to like a mall or something and doing those like teen romcom movie shopping montages where he goes into a changing room and the girls judge the outfit until they find the perfect one.
I personally believe Krel would adopt a soft boy look, with like oversized button ups and t shirts tucked into jeans, but thats just me.
anyway, because he’s friends with Mary and Darci, Krel has a new found social popularity in Arcadia.
because of this, Krel would prolly get nominated for Spring Fling king and shit
I would say Krel wouldn’t really care about being nominated, but seeing how he cared so much about the science fair and the Battle of the Bands, he would definitely care
Steve is conflicted because he wants to be Spring Fling King, but he can’t mess with Krel like he did with Jim and Eli cause Krel is his girlfriend’s brother 
Krel notices this and takes advantage of it to mess with Steve and actually tries to win.
like Krel would just dominate the contests, and his theme presentation would be the flashiest and most appealing and people would just generally like him, and that would really worry Steve
like Krel, with four arms would be really good at the Touch-a-Truck-athon or whatever its called.
Krel would prolly let Steve win anyway because watching Steve squirm and freak out over prolly losing the crown and not being able to do anything about it cause he's Aja's brother is much better than any highschool dance crown
also the school 100% asks Krel to DJ future dances and events to save money, and Krel absolutely loves it
He would also definitely do the school play. Seeing how much he enjoyed being in Toby and Eli's short film, and again, he loves the attention, he would totally be down 
Also it would just be another chance to mess with Steve to be the lead. 
Because of this, Ms. Janeth would do another Shakespearean play, but do one of those modern renditions. Like it's the same play just in a modern setting, to take advantage of Krel's Akaridion form like they did with Jim's armor. 
If not in the play he would do stage crew/tech.
Like he would create elaborate settings for them using A5 tech and Ms. Janeth would adore it 
moving on, because home life is pretty lonely with just the Lucy and Ricky for company, Krel loves to host his friends for parties and sleepovers and whatever
and since Krel lives in the coolest house on the block, they love coming over
He hosts girl’s night every other week with Mary, Darci, and Clarie (becauuse she deserves a fucking break) 
since we’ve all agreed that Krel is 100% a gaylien, I love the idea that he casually comes out during a girls night
like Mary would be like “So Krel, are there any girls you like?” and Krel’s just like, “*snort* Girls? Who ever said I like girls?” and the others are like “….....?“ and Krel just rolls his eyes and says "I like boys, ladies” and they’re like “ooooohhhh, okay. Cool.”
So now they spend girls night talking about boys. Claire and Darci about their mans and Mary and Krel about cute boys.
One day the girls give Krel a little rainbow pin and Krel’s just like “what’s this?” And the girls tell him that it’s an earth symbol for the gays and he’s like “theres a symbol for that here? I didnt think it was that big of a deal. On A5 it’s pretty normal” and the girls explain why theres a symbol and he’s like “oh shoot wow, thanks" and he put it on his backpack.
He’s pretty confused the first time someone is homophobic towards him cause like that kind if behavior doesnt happen on A5 and hes just like, “why does this bother you? I hardly know you” and just brushes it off. Its doesnt really bother him, mainly cause he doesnt know the earth insults towards gay people so he doesn’t even realize, but if the girls (or Toby, or even Steve, too) catch anyone being homophobic towards their friend they will attack that asshole on sight. Especially Mary and Steve
Random person on the street: Ha, *slur*
Marry: WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HIM BITCH???
Krel: Marry its fine, it’s not that big of a dealoHSEKLOSANDGAYLENMARYGETOFFOFHIM
Marry: SAY IT AGAIN ASSHAT, I D A R E YOU
Claire and Darci: *trying to hold Mary back* maRY NO
Steve: THATS MY NINJA KICKING SPACE ANGEL GIRLFRIEND'S BROTHER BUTTSNACK I'LL END YOU
Toby: *now chasing after Steve to stop him* stEVE NO
Mary would 100% find out who the rando is and destroy their life on social media. Like she would leak their job, phone number, email, school/college (if applicable) to her thousands of followers and absolutely ruin them with no remorse. And honestly, good for her
Also whilst on the subject, Krel can not drive or cook for 2 reasons: 1. Hes gay and 2. He’s a prince so he’s never had to do either before
Like he can obviously do math but that’s it.
Proof? That one scene in Wizards when Douxie had him drive the airship. You know the one.
Coach Lawrence refuses to get in a car with him at Drivers Ed after the 3rd day Krel shows up.
Krel gets addicted to sugary coffee shop-esc drinks thanks to Darci. Not coffee cause we saw in 3Below Part 1 that he doesnt like coffee, but refreshers, coolattas, frappuccinos etc…? Definitely.
As for warm drinks, he’s more of a tea person.
Moving on
He face calls Aja everyday because he really misses her
He tells her all about school and his friends and whatever and Aja tells him about the changes she’s making to the A5 government
Thanks to the wormhole they visit each other often. Sometimes Steve tags along cause he misses his ninja kicking space queen angel girlfriend. (And Eli, but that's also for another post)
They take turns housing Luug.
Krel genuinely loves it on earth, but he hates the primitive technology so he begs Aja to send him supplies and materials for his projects. 
He would 10000% apply to HexTech for an after school job. Seeing his reaction to HT in Wizards and the fact that “Akaridion tech and magic are so compatible”, he would be the perfect addition to the HT staff. 
The Wizards wouldn’t be sure at first but after he shows them A5 tech and Douxie’s email of recommendation about the time loop thing they made together, the wizards are like “oh yeah we definitely keeping this kid. This is going to be so much fun.”
Their inventions become more and more extravagant because Krel can and he's just extra and the wizards love it.
He would definitely find a way to use magic using A5 tech. But he would have to study magic in order to figure out how, so the wizards help him learn all about magic. And since he's learned everything there is to learn about science and technology and whatever, he's super excited to learn about something completely different and interesting. The wizards are happy to teach him. He would be the first Akaridion to learn and use magic
Like he would make his own staff with his serrator and everything. He's like "earn a staff? Nah fuck that going to make my own"
Speaking of which he really likes human swear words. But he doesnt know when it is and isn't inappropriate to say these swear words so he's gotten in trouble a few times for swearing at the wrong time
For example:
Ms. Janeth: excuse me Mr. Tarron?
Krel: what the fuck do you want?
Everyone in the room: krEL NO
Anyway, back to Krel at HT, thanks to Toby, he would definitely have a bowl of candy in his little lab. More like multiple jars of different candy just scattered around the room. Small candy like fun sized chocolate and skittles and jelly beans and whatever
And a mini fridge, of course.
Steve, Toby and Arrrgh come over to the lab alot to mess around.
Toby has a lot of sci-fi requests for Krel to make
Toby: do you think you can make a shrink ray? Laser blasters? Invisible ray? My own hoverboard? My own serrator *gASP* WITH A WARHAMMER SETTING???? WITH SPACE ARMOR TO MATCH???!!!???!
Krel: Toby you already have a warhammer and armor why do you need more?
Toby: I dont have a space warhammer and armor Krel!!!!!!
Going back to school life, I feel like Krel would take an interest in Spanish class. I mean, his human form is latino and in Trollhunters (I'm pretty sure the lightning in a bottle episode) he said "Si" in response to a question someone asked him, so I feel like he would like to learn another human language. 
I also feel like he would just like to learn about Latin American culture in general since Mother gave him that form. He'd like to get in touch with his human self. 
Claire (when she isnt busy Trollhunting with Jim and the gang) is happy help him learn about Latin American culture and help him with his Spanish. 
Krel, being a fast learner, becomes fluent quickly with a perfect accent. 
Señor Uhl, who already liked the Tarrons to begin with, would really appreciate this. 
Claire's dad would also appreciate this.
Since he has such a fascination with human music, Krel would especially love Latin American music. Specifically reggaeton, since its kind of like techno music in a way and he already likes techno music.
And naturally, he learns to dance. All the styles of latin american dances. And he becomes quite the favorite on the dance floor.
He and Claire become great dance partners cause they both have the natural Latino rhythm and because Jim respects and trusts his girlfriend he doesnt mind them dancing together at parties and stuff
Although, Jim does ask for dance help at some point cause it looks like fun and he wants to dance with his beautiful talented incredible amazing gf and Krel is happy to teach him and anyone else who wants dance help. 
GUITAR LESSONS with Douxie cause in 3Below Krel said he really wanted to learn how to play guitar, steals Shannon’s guitar from the bonfire and is seen multiple times strumming it throughout the series. So of course this is included.
Toby introduces Krel to YouTube and Krel instantly makes his own channel.
of course his channel is called DJ Kleb and he posts his tracks and remixes. and maybe even some vlogs
its a little slow at first, only Arcadia Oaks students are subscribed to it but Mary blows it up by posting one of Krel’s tracks on her own social media and now he has thousands of subscribers
he also gained other forms of social media like Instagram and Tiktok, platforms to post his music
At this point every girl in school wants to be friends with Krel but not in the toxic GBF (gay best friend) way, girls just genuinely think he's 10x more interesting than every other boy in Arcadia Oaks
I think that's it for now sorry this is really long I just really love Krel and I had so many ideas. Feel free to add on!!

Desmond Hume (Lost): INFP
Tumblr media
Dominant Introverted Feeling [Fi]: Desmond knows what’s important in life and knows what thoughts, ideas, and beliefs truly matter to him. He has to participate in the solo race around the world to prove something to Widmore. He wants respect, and he needs to do something to earn it. His honor means a lot to him, which is why he becomes hellbent on winning. When Libby gives Desmond her husband’s boat, he proclaims that he will win this race for love. Desmond is true to himself and knows what he wants. When Widmore offers to buy him off, Desmond refuses to give up on Penny that easily. He doesn’t care about the money. He just wants Penny. When Eloise tries to tell him that he’s not supposed to buy the ring for her, Desmond rebels against this. He’s the master of his own fate. He has the freedom to live his life however he chooses. He is compassionate and forms strong bonds with those around him and often uses morality to relate to others. When Sayid is told to kill Desmond in order to bring Nadia back, Desmond asks what Sayid will tell her when Nadia asks what he did to facilitate their reunion. When he recognizes Jack from the stadium, he’s genuinely curious about his life and what happened with the girl they had talked about… even though he had spent years in the bunker, slowly descending into madness. When he begins to have visions of Charlie dying, he does everything he can to prevent that from happening and becomes something of a secret guardian angel. When he eventually foresees that Charlie’s death will result in Desmond being able to reunite with Penny, as well as everyone being rescued from the island, he is unable to go through with it at the last second and saves his life yet again. When he has another vision of Charlie dying, which will result in their rescue, he tries to convince Charlie to let him go at the last second instead because he just can’t let Charlie die. When Desmond discovers that Inman was getting ready to take his boat and abandon him on the island, Desmond is furious with him for lying and stealing the last two years of his life, accidentally killing Inman in his rage. When Desmond finally manages to make it off the island, he is instantly willing to risk being discovered by Widmore in order to go to Oxford for Faraday. He has to. He won’t just sit back and not do something to help the people who were left on the island. When Desmond realizes that he’s in the afterlife, he makes it his mission to track down every person from the island and bring them back together. He needs to show them so they can all move on together.
Tumblr media
Auxiliary Extroverted Intuition [Ne]: It’s easy for Desmond to make guesses and assumptions. When he first meets Jack on the stadium steps, he is immediately able to deduce that he’s down about a girl, and wonders what Jack did to deserve the way he was punishing himself. When he finds Hurley in the flash sideways, he is able to intuit that he is also down because of a girl. He pushes a button for years, even though he doesn’t have any solid proof that he’s actually saving the world, as he’s been told. He can’t bring himself to stop pushing it though, because what if it’s all true? Sure, Desmond has considered that it was all just a mind game or an experiment, but maybe it’s real. He believes in miracles and destiny, and doesn’t need to see anything to believe in it. However, he tends to entertain a variety of viewpoints and beliefs. He goes back and forth, discovering faith and losing it. His perceptions are malleable and ever-changing. When Desmond is unable to sail his boat off the island, he begins to believe that the island is the only thing left. He thinks they’re trapped in a snow globe and the rest of the world is just gone. When Desmond is traveling back and forth between his current life on the island, and his past in the U.K., he asks his friend what he knows about time travel. Yeah, it sounds crazy, but he knows what he’s experiencing! When he meets Eloise, he believes that she’s just his subconscious trying to scare him out of proposing to Penny. When Sawyer suddenly wants to go hunting with him, Desmond quickly comes to the conclusion that he’s playing some sort of angle because Sawyer’s barely spoken to him at all since his return to the island. When Desmond has a vision that someone would parachute onto the island, he believes that it’s Penny, and is heartbroken to discover that she wasn’t the parachuter. Desmond is good at providing possible explanations for things. He can see beyond what is most realistic or probable, and come up with alternative answers. Maybe the father of Claire’s baby left because he knew he wouldn’t make a good father. Maybe he was trying to do what was best for her. He’s able to see that Locke’s real reason for forcing everyone to stop pushing the button is “because you need to look down the barrel of a gun to find out what you really believe.” What if the experiment wasn’t on the people working in the Swan station, but on the people in the Pearl? Desmond deduces that he crashed Oceanic 815 and implores Locke to stop what he’s doing and continue pushing the button…
Tumblr media
Tertiary Introverted Sensing [Si]: … because he recognizes the hieroglyphs from the day that he left the hatch to kill Inman, He returned to the hatch afterwards and was late to push the button. On that day, the plane crashed, so clearly this is all real! When Desmond is trying to get the others to remember each other, he resorts to recreating some of their most important memories. Charlie, Claire, and Kate were all present for Aaron’s birth, so he recreates those circumstances, which allows them to remember. Although he tends to be an abstract thinker, Desmond still maintains a set of traditional values. His family, his faith, and having the blessing of Penny’s father all mean a lot to him. The past has a tremendous impact on Desmond and he has a hard time letting go of certain things. He’s unwilling to accept that he’ll never have Widmore’s approval, which causes him to experience a lot of self-doubt and second guess his relationship with Penny. Desmond has no interest in drinking with Charlie and Hurley until he sees the scotch they have – MacCutcheon… the same whiskey Widmore once said Desmond was unworthy of drinking because he would never be a “great” man.
Tumblr media
Inferior Extroverted Thinking [Te]: When Charles Widmore makes Desmond feel inadequate and worthless, he takes action to prove him wrong. He’ll show him by winning the race around the world. Surely that will earn him some respect. Desmond struggles with knowing his place within society and what he’s supposed to do. He’s all set to marry Ruth, and then has an epiphany that leads him to abandon her without a word to become a monk. Although the nature of his offense is unknown, Desmond was imprisoned and subsequently dishonorably discharged from the army because of his failure to follow orders. After Desmond’s vision about the parachuter, he becomes focused on recreating his vision exactly as he saw it and manipulates Charlie, Hurley, and Jin into accompanying him for a “camping trip.” He becomes so determined that he disregards the fact that going through with it will lead to Charlie’s death. The important thing is finding Penny and getting home. When Desmond remembers his life on the island in the flash sideways, he immediately sets to work, tracking down everyone he knew from the island. Desmond inserts himself into each of their lives and personally relates to them as he orchestrates a series of events to get everybody else to remember their former lives as well, so they can all move on together.
Tumblr media
Enneagram: 9w1 6w7 4w5 Sx/Sp
Quotes:
Desmond: Take it easy. Keep the weight off. Here, let me have a look. Does this hurt? [Jack shakes his head.] You haven’t sprained it then. I don’t fancy your chances of catching up with me tonight, though. Jack: I wasn’t trying to catch up. Desmond: Aye, of course you weren’t. Jack: What do you know about sprains, anyway? Desmond: I was almost a doctor once. Jack: Small world. Desmond: You a doctor then? [Jack nods. Desmond offers Jack his water bottle.] So what’s your excuse? Jack: Excuse? Desmond: For running like the devil’s chasing you. My excuse – I’m training. Jack: Training for what? Desmond: For a race around the world. Impressive, I know. So your excuse better be good, brother. Jack: Just trying to work a few things out. Desmond: Ah, a girl, right? Jack: A patient. Desmond: Ah, but a girl patient. What’s her name? Jack: Her name’s Sarah. Desmond: What’d you do to her then? Jack: Do to her? Desmond: You must have done something worthy of this self-flagellation. Jack: I told her — I made a promise I couldn’t keep — I told her I’d fix her and I couldn’t. I failed. Desmond: Well, right. Just one thing — what if you did fix her? Jack: I didn’t. Desmond: But what if you did? Jack: You don’t know what you’re talking about, man. Desmond: I don’t? Why not? Jack: Because with her situation that would be a miracle, brother. Desmond: Oh, and you don’t believe in miracles?
Desmond: It was 3 years ago. I was on a solo race around the world, and my boat crashed into the reef, and then Kelvin came. Locke: Kelvin? Desmond: Kelvin — he comes running out of the jungle — hurry, hurry, come with me. He brings me down here. The first thing he does — because there’s beeping already — he types in the code, he pushes the button, and it stops. What was all that about, I say. Just saving the world, he says. Jack: Saving the world? Desmond: His words, not mine. So I started pushing the button, too. And we saved the world together for awhile, and that was lovely. Then Kelvin died, and now here I am all alone. The end. [Jack hands over the jar and Desmond tries to fix the computer.] Jack: [to Locke] Don’t tell me you believe this. This is crazy. You think that makes sense — pushing a button? You’re going to take his word for it?! Locke: His word is all we have, Jack. Desmond: You don’t have to take my word for it. Watch the film. Jack: What? Desmond: The bookcase — top shelf, behind “Turn of the Screw” — projector’s in the pantry.
Jack: So, you don’t get out, you don’t see anyone. Where does your food come from? You really think this is happening. Desmond: Why wouldn’t it be? Jack: It says “quarantine” on the inside of the hatch to keep you down here. To keep you scared. But you know what? We’ve been up there for over 40 days and no one’s gotten sick. You think that this is the only part of it that’s true?! Do you ever think that maybe they put you down here to push a button every 100 minutes just to see if you would? That all of this — the computer, the button — it’s just a mind game?! An experiment? Desmond: Every — single — day. And for all our sakes, I hope it’s not real. But the film says this is an electromagnetic station. And I don’t know about you, brother, but every time I walk past that concrete wall out there, my fillings hurt.
Jack: Nothing is going to happen. Some man takes you down there, shows you a movie, and you push a button on, on faith alone? Nothing is going to happen! Desmond: In about 15 minutes you’re either going to be very right, or very wrong, brother. You want to shoot me?! Shoot me! But I’m not- Jack: Why are you running? You don’t even know what you’re running from! Desmond: I remember you — running — I know you — I met you — Los Angeles. I was training, yeah? You twisted your ankle… Jack: Stop. Desmond: You’re a doctor, right? There was this girl — you were worried – you said, you said you failed her. That was you. Jack: It doesn’t matter. Desmond: Was she okay, the girl? Jack: It doesn’t matter. Desmond: What happened to her? Jack: It doesn’t matter. Desmond: How can you say it doesn’t matter? Jack: I married her! Desmond: Right, and you’re — you’re not married to her anymore, then?
Desmond: Do you think I did it on purpose? I was sailing for two and half weeks, bearing due West and making 9 knots. I should have been in Fiji in less than a week. But the first piece of land I saw wasn’t Fiji, was it? No. No, it was here—this, this island. And you know why? Because this is it. This is all there is left. This ocean and this place here. We are stuck in a bloody snow globe! There’s no outside world! There’s no escape! So, just go away, huh. Let me drink.
Libby: So, a sailing race around the world? Desmond: I have 8 months to get into the best shape of my life. I’ll tell you what, miss, I’m going to win. Libby: And what do you get if you do? Desmond: What really matters is who I win it for. [he pushes the brochure toward her] Libby: [looking at the brochure] Charles Widmore. Desmond: He tried to buy me off. And when I didn’t take his money, he took away the only thing in the world that I ever truly cared about. Libby: Who is she? Desmond: His daughter. I was unsuitable on several levels. Libby: And what’s the 42 grand for? Desmond: It’s a wee bit complicated. As of yet, I don’t actually have a boat. [Libby looks sad] Sorry, did I say something wrong? Libby: I have a boat. It was my husband’s but he got sick. He wanted to sail the Mediterranean—he never—he passed away about a month ago. Desmond: I’m sorry. Libby: I want you to have it. Desmond: I can’t take your boat, miss. Libby: But you have to. He’d want you to. Desmond: What was your husband’s name? Libby: David. Desmond: And what did he name his boat? Libby: Elizabeth. He named it after me. Desmond: Then I thank you, Elizabeth. And I shall win this race for love.
Desmond: You’re wasting your time, sister. I shot myself with that stuff every 9 days for 3 years. [he looks at Aaron] He’s lovely. Is the father here on the Island? Claire: No. Nope, he’s been gone a long time. Sort of walked off the moment he got a bit scared by the situation. Desmond: Well, maybe he knew he’d be a lousy dad—thought he was doing what was best for you. Claire: He was doing what was best for him.
Desmond: I’ll be back in a year. Penny: What if you were back, right now? Desmond: I’m going to win this race, Pen—his race. And in a year, I’ll be back. Penny: Desmond, what are you running from? Desmond: I have to get my honor back, and that’s what I’m running to.
Desmond: I think your friends just blew themselves up, brother. Locke: They’re not my friends. Desmond: I can’t hear anything. Maybe we should open it. Locke: No, no; it’s a trick. Desmond: A trick? They could be hurt? Is your doctor around? Locke: Our doctor is God knows where. And he sure as hell doesn’t care about anything happening down here. Desmond: Can I ask you a question, brother? Locke: Absolutely. Desmond: Is the reason you’re letting that clock there run all the way down to the very last tick—is it because you need to look down the barrel of a gun to find out what you really believe, John?
Desmond: Tell me about this other hatch you found—this Pearl. Locke: What do you want to know? Desmond: Details. Locke: The Pearl is a psychological station full of TV monitors. And two men sat in viewing chairs and filled notebooks with observations on what happens in here. And then they put the notebooks in pneumatic tubes and send them back to their headquarters so they could evaluate us—as an experiment. [Desmond looks concerned, confused] What? Desmond: What if you’ve got it backwards? Locke: Backwards? Desmond: What if the experiment wasn’t on the two men in here, but on the two men in there? I want to see that tape, John.
Desmond: Come where?! What about the button?! Inman: Screw the button, man. Who knows if it’s even real? Desmond: That’s not what you said when you were going on and on about dams and electromagnetics and failsafes! Inman: Well, I was drunk. Desmond: Why did you lie to me?! Inman: I lied to you because I needed a sucker to save the world after I left! Desmond: You crazy old bastard! You stole my life!! Inman: Oh, come on. Desmond: What else did you lie to me about?! What else? Tell me?! [Desmond has Inman by the collar and they fall to ground. Inman gets up and Desmond rushes him, falling on top of him. Inman hits his head.] Desmond: How could you do this to me?! Get up. [Desmond sees blood coming from the back of Inman’s head and realizes he’s dead.] Desmond: Oh my God. Oh my God. [Desmond grabs the failsafe key from around Inman’s neck and runs back to the Hatch.]
Desmond: We need to push the button. Locke: No, we don’t! Desmond: Do you not hear me, brother? I crashed your bloody plane? Locke: How did you manage to do that? Desmond: On that day, those numbers turned to hieroglyphics. And when the last one came down this whole started to shake! And that screen? That screen filled up with “system failure,” [pointing to the printout] System Failure! And I know what they are. 92204—September the 22nd, 2004, the day your planed crashed! It’s real! It’s all bloody real!! Now, push the damn button!! Locke: I know what I saw! It’s a lie; it’s not real! None of it is real! Desmond: You don’t want to push the button? Then I will. Locke: No! [Locke grabs the computer and smashes it on the floor. Desmond looks horrified. There’s about 3 minutes on the timer.] Desmond: You killed us. You killed us all.
Penny: You know you don’t really need a job from my father, Des. Desmond: It’s not about the job. I want him to respect me. Penny: And respect you he shall. But if for some reason he’s too daft to see how brilliant you are it’s not the end of the world.
Desmond: Just tell me if it’s possible? Donovan: Which part? The island full of mysterious hatches? Or the computer which keeps the world from ending? Desmond: You know what? Forget you’re my best mate, right? As a physicist — is it possible that I’ve somehow managed to go back in time and I’m now living my life over again?
Eloise: That man over there is wearing red shoes. Desmond: So, what then? Eloise: Just thought it was a bold fashion choice worth noting. Desmond: This isn’t really happening, is it? Eloise: Sorry? Desmond: I’ve had a concussion. You’re my subconscious. Eloise: Am I? Desmond: You’re here to talk me out of marrying Penny. Well, it won’t bloody work. Eloise: Oh, yes it will. Desmond: No, there is no island. There is no button. It’s madness. I love her. She loves me. I’m going to spend the rest of my life with her. Eloise: No, Desmond, you’re not. [Suddenly, there is a loud crash behind the bench Ms. Hawking and Desmond have been sitting on. Some scaffolding has fallen and killed the man with red shoes.] Desmond: Oh, my God. You knew that was going to happen, didn’t you? [she nods] Then why didn’t you stop it? Why didn’t you do anything? Eloise: Because it wouldn’t matter. Had I warned him about the scaffolding tomorrow he’d be hit by a taxi. If I warned him about the taxi, he’d fall in the shower and break his neck. The universe, unfortunately, has a way of course correcting. That man was supposed to die. That was his path just as it’s your path to go to the island. You don’t do it because you choose to, Desmond. You do it because you’re supposed to. Desmond: I’m going to meet Penny in an hour. I’ve got the ring; she’ll say yes; I can choose whatever I want. Eloise: You may not like your path, Desmond, but pushing that button is the only truly great thing that you will ever do.
Sawyer: Why’re we gotta be out here so damn early? Desmond: You asked me to help you catch a boar. Well this is when they break cover to eat. Sawyer: Looks like they picked a day to sleep in. Desmond: So what’s your angle, brother? Sawyer: My angle? Desmond: Well you, haven’t spoken three words to me and then, suddenly you want to be my hunting partner. Sawyer: My angle, is that I got hearts and minds to change. And politics is all about bribes. Since money don’t mean squat on this Island, I gotta give the people something they like. And people like meat…
Ruth: Why are you here, Desmond? Desmond: Well now that my initiation’s done, I felt like I owed you an explanation. Ruth: Desmond. You can never begin to explain what you did. You left one week before the wedding, everything was planned bought and paid for. You just disappeared completely. Desmond: I had a calling. Ruth: We dated for six years, and the closest you ever came to a religious experience was Celtic winning the cup. Desmond: OK, yes, I was scared about the wedding, so I had a few pints too many, maybe I, I raised my eyes, and I asked am I doing the right thing, and that’s the last thing I remember. And when I woke up, I was lying on my back in the street, and I dunno how I got there and, there was this man standing over me, Ruth. And he reached out his hand and he said to me, can I help you brother. And the first thing I noticed was the rope tied round his waist, and I looked at him and I knew, I knew, I was supposed to go with him. I was supposed to go with him, I was supposed to leave everything that mattered behind, sacrifice all of it, for a greater calling. Ruth: Well its a good thing a bloody shepherd didn’t help you up, or as I suppose you’d be off with the sheep wouldn’t you? Next time you want to break up with someone, Des, don’t join a monastery. Just tell the girl you’re too bloody scared.
Desmond: Are you firing me? Monk: I am indeed. Desmond: You can’t do that, I heard the call. Monk: I’m sure you did hear the call, but the abbey clearly isn’t where you were meant to end up. I have little doubt that God has different plans than you being a monk, Desmond. Bigger plans—
Desmond: If the flashes don’t happen exactly how I saw them, the picture changes. I was supposed to let you die Charlie. Charlie: What’s that supposed to mean? Desmond: It means it’s bloody pointless. I keep saving your life, and what good has it done? Its just gonna keep happening again and again, maybe that’s the point, eh? Maybe it’s a test. Charlie: Test? Desmond: Like God, testing Abraham, except I failed, because I changed what I saw.
Charlie: We have to tell Jack. Hurley: Yeah, I mean shouldn’t he check out her wound? Desmond: Can you give me your word that Jack can be trusted? Now he spent 10 days with those people and then nothing happened to him? And that woman he’s spending all his time with— Charlie: Juliet? Desmond: Aye, Juliet. Two weeks ago she had your friends in cages. Naomi … I mean, you heard everything that she said. If we keep her safe, she’s our way off this Island. So given that, do you trust Jack? Or don’t you? Right. So you better bring us someone we can trust.
Desmond: You don’t have to do this, Charlie. Charlie: What? Desmond: I’ll go. Charlie: No, you-your flashes. Desmond: Maybe I keep seeing you die because I’m supposed to take your place. Charlie: What about your girl, Penny? Desmond: What about your girl? Besides, I might be luckier than you. Keep your memories to yourself. I’ll take it from here. [He takes off his shoes, ready to go instead.] Charlie: I don’t know what to say. Desmond: Well, you could tell me where the, er, weight belt is. Charlie: Right there behind you. [As Desmond turns, Charlie hits him with an oar. He then places him neatly on the canoe.] Charlie: You and I both know… you’re not supposed to take my place, brother.
Desmond: We’ll be in and out. He’ll never know we’re here, Penny. Penny: Don’t underestimate him, Desmond. If he finds out we’re here, I don’t know what he’ll do. Desmond: But this has nothing to do with your father, Penny. We are here because of Daniel Faraday. What he told me–that everyone on that island is in danger, and I am the only one that can help them. I have to do this, Penny.
Desmond: Look, honey, all I have to do is find his mother, tell her he’s still on the Island, and then I’m done with this for good. Penny: Why now? I mean, if he told you all this on the Island, why didn’t you remember it until two days ago? Desmond: I don’t know. Look, I don’t understand how any of this works any more than you do. It… Look, I know it happened. Daniel Faraday knocked on the hatch door and told me to go to Oxford… everyone was in danger, and I was the only one that could save them. I know how insane it sounds. I’ll be back by dark, and then I’m done… forever. I promise.
Desmond: I know you have questions for me. I’m not gonna answer them. I’ve come here to ask you something. And once you’ve told me everything I need to know, you’ll never see me again. Understand? Widmore: All right. Desmond: I need to know where I can find Daniel Faraday’s mother. Widmore: What makes you think I would even know the answer to that? Desmond: Because even before you put Faraday on your little boat and sent him off to the Island, you spent ten years funding his research. So I figure, you must know something regarding his next of kin.
Penny: Why are you lying to me? Desmond: What? I’m not. Penny: Where is she? Desmond: She’s in Los Angeles. Look, Pen, you’ve got nothing to worry about. You know, this was a mistake. No, I… I made a promise that this would be done in a day, and now it’s done. It’s not our problem anymore. Penny: And what happens if you wake up tomorrow and remember something else? Desmond: Then I’ll forget it. Penny: And the next day? Desmond: I’ll forget it. It doesn’t matter, Pen. You’re my life now–you and Charlie. I won’t leave you again… not for this… not for anything. Penny: You’ll never forget it, Des. So I guess we’re going with you.
Desmond: This woman cost me four years of my life–four years that I’ll never get back because you told me that I was supposed to go to the Island! That it was my bloody purpose! You listen to me, brother, and you listen carefully. These people–they’re just usin’ us. They’re playing some kind of game, and we are just the pieces. Whatever she tells you to do… ignore it. [to Eloise] You say the Island’s not done with me? Well, I’m done with the Island.
George: So, did you find what you were looking for? Desmond: Yes, George, I did. Corner of Melrose and Sweetzer, please. George: You got it. And if there is anything else I can do for you, Mr. Hume, you just name it. Desmond: Actually, there is one thing, George. Can you get me the manifest for my flight from Sydney, Oceanic 815, just the names of the passengers? George: Sure I can. Do you mind if I ask you what you need it for? Desmond: I just need to show them something…
Desmond: Ooh… that is a lot of chicken! Hurley: I eat when I’m depressed! Desmond: Ah! So what’s her name? Hurley: I met a girl on a blind date the other night. Desmond: And you didn’t… it didn’t go how you hoped? Hurley: Mmm, she’s totally awesome… except for one thing. She’s crazy! Desmond: Well, all women are a little bit crazy, brother… Hurley: No, this one actually lives in the loony bin. I mean, I saw the van. She’s full on nuts. I mean, she started sane… but then, she told me that we already knew each other. And that, I’d remember! Desmond: Tell me something…did you believe her when she said she knew you? Hurley: Yeah. Kinda… Desmond: Now, I say go with your gut. You know, maybe you should… you should try to find out where she thinks she knew you from before you give up on her.
Desmond: So what did he offer ya? If you’re gonna shoot me in cold blood, brother… I think I have a right to know what you’re getting in exchange for it. Sayid: He told me I could get something back I lost. Desmond: And what did you lose? Sayid: The woman I loved. Desmond: And where is she now? Sayid: Dead. Desmond: And what makes you think Locke can bring her back? Sayid: I died… and he brought me back. Desmond: So, what will you tell her? Sayid: What do you mean? Desmond: This woman – when she asks you what you did to be with her again…what will you tell her?
Kate: H-hang on a second. You bust me out of jail, and make me put on this dress so that we can go to some concert. And you won’t even tell me why we’re here. Desmond: No one can tell you why you’re here, Kate… Certainly not me. Kate: You’re the one who brought me here. Desmond: I’m not talking about the church. I’m talking about here. Kate: Who are you? What do you want? Desmond: My name is Desmond Hume. And even though you don’t realize it, I’m your friend. And, as for what I want – I want to leave. Kate: Leave and go where? Desmond: Let me show you.
Locke: Hello, Rose… [to Desmond] I’ll make this simple. Come with me now or I’ll kill them both right in front of you. Rose: You don’t have to go anywhere with him. [Desmond looks to Rose.] Locke: I’ll make it hurt. Desmond: I want your word. You won’t touch them – ever. Locke: Done. Desmond: Then I’ll do what you want. Locke: Yes, Desmond. You will.
Desmond: This doesn’t matter, you know. Jack: Excuse me? Desmond: Him destroying the Island, you destroying him. It doesn’t matter. You know, you’re gonna lower me into that light, and I’m gonna go somewhere else. A place where we can be with the ones we love, and not have to ever think about this damn Island again. And you know the best part, Jack? Jack: What? Desmond: You’re in this place. You know, we sat next to each other on Oceanic 815. It never crashed. We spoke to each other. You seemed happy. You know, maybe I can find a way to bring you there too.
