Since Lost is coming back to Netflix I need to speak my truth: Lost is not a confusing show, and the ending makes perfect sense.

You didn't get the ending? Skill issue. Couldn't be me.

wanna shoutout joseph trapanese's score for s&b, bc for all that we talk abt the adaptation, the score doesn't get brought up much, and it makes me so crazyyyy it's one of the best bits about the show. shipwrecked??!? ravka??? that unreleased piece of music from season 1 where alexei recounts what he saw on the skiff? that OTHER piece of unreleased music from season 1, the organ when inej saves kaz in the chapel, that is singlehandedly responsible for the reignition of my obsession w SOC? the cheeky little flute run in wylan's theme? the fact that brother is a slightly off-kilter reprise of helpful goat? the fast as fuck electric strings in I'm here for the killers that wanders into that very menacing buildup in the final minute? the ticking pocketwatch motif???? hope is dangerous hot-wired my brain forever and was on my spotify wrapped last year. 1:30-1:44 of that goddamn track.... oughhh. same for how will you have me. makes me UNWELL. I KNOW it's just association/nostalgia, but this is what soc sounds like to me forever now. every time I hear that goddamn helpful goat motif (it starts at like 0:28 in the original and then is scattered around a lot in season 2) I want to throw up but like in a good way. I love it I love it I love it music is so important to adaptationssss

AHHHHH THEYRE GONNA HAVE MY BOYS NOW 😭

If Fitz isn’t hot as fuck then what am I doing with my life

Thinking about Shannon Messenger's hundreds of main characters and why none of them seem to be truly fleshed out and how i think it's due to Shannon's sense (or her idea of a high schooler's sense) /style of writing humor. What started out as a unique character trait for Keefe has eventually become a clutch for her, helping her dial down the drama in the books and in this essay I will-

something something Eddie being shown as Buck’s family during the award ceremony something something Buck being the one to get through to Eddie about his telenovela atrocities towards the women in his life something something Eddie and Buck being referred to as Hen’s children equating them to brothers

Because they’re a family

[homerforsure]

Thinking about how in a parallel universe there’s a version of this season where the Natalia actress was available so Buck got the “move in, move out, you don’t have to force intimacy on a speed run” storyline and Eddie and Marisol break up off screen.

And how, in that universe, there’s a 7.04 from Eddie’s perspective that ends with Tommy taking him home from the hospital and making a comment about Buck and Eddie saying “No, I knew he was jealous that we were hanging out without him. I kept meaning to invite him along but..” “But?” hesitant yet smoldering eye contact. “I didn’t really want to share your attention.”

shannon thinks were swifties or smth cause how is that supposed to help anyone guess shit😭😭

also fym sweepstakes are you gonna make us gamble over keefes life?? 😭😭😭😭

[stagefoureddiediaz]

Still thinking about the choice to have Eddie mentally cheat with a version of Shannon he created in his head up the correct way in his new bed rather than the old one and to have it be that specific scene he’s rewriting

How that is the moment in his mind where he lost his second chance with Shannon - because from that point on things for Eddie spiral onto the path that leads to divorce - that’s the last time we see them have sex - implying that’s the moment she thinks she gets pregnant - so in Eddie’s mind that’s the moment he needs to fix - that’s the moment that their paths were set that lead to her death and to her asking for divorce.

So if he fixes that moment in his subconscious then he can fix everything else - the paralleling of Marisol with Shannon upside down in bed becomes even louder - even more telling

i think my problem with the point five books thing is not the books themselves, so much as it is the marketing and way they're presented.

for those that aren't aware: point five books have a generally understood meaning/connotation that authors and fans both sort of know. it's basically code for "book that is not mandatory to understand the story, but it's there for fans that want extra content". usually this comes in the form of short story collections or whatever else the author may want to do. sometimes it's just a single short story. for example, a proper way for kotlc to utilize point five books would be to for instance, make a book 7.5, which has keefe and fitz's flashback short stories in it. extra bonus content from flashback (book seven), but you don't have to read it to understand the main story itself. you'll be okay without it. that is what a point five book actually means, as far as the wider literary world is concerned.

but books 8.5 and 9.5 in this series are not extra bonus content. you very much do have to read them to understand the main story. if you read it book eight, then nine, then ten, you will be lost or miss important stuff that's crucial to understanding the story.

just call it book nine. just call it book eleven. all this will do is label the books properly and not confuse people. and people will be confused. we aren't seeing the effects yet, because books are still coming out and everyone in the fandom keeps up with shannon's updates, so we all know what's up. but trust me, in a few years, after the series is over and new people get into it, they will be confused. they will skip straight over book 8.5 or 9.5 unknowingly, and it won't be good.

my theory is that someone on shannon's team wants to make this series seem shorter than it really is. because that is the only logical explanation here. you could describe this series as having "nine and a half books" now, instead of ten, and by the way the series is officially marked, that's not incorrect. but it is. this series has ten books. because there are ten mandatory books that you have to read that are out right now. stop calling books that aren't supposed to be called point five books as point five books!!!! this isn't quirky, it's just going to throw people off.

this is super, super confusing for people that aren't "in the know" with this series, so to speak, and there will be people that read this series incorrectly because of this. i have been a casual fantasy series reader for pretty much my entire existence on this planet, and let me just tell you, this is not how this works. at all. if i didn't know books 8.5 and 9.5 were mandatory, i would skip over them completely, going on my understood knowledge of how these epic fantasies are generally structured.

just market them correctly. praying to the heavens for shannon's team to stop. this is actively hurting your readers!!!!

*i assume it isn't shannon herself who is coming up with this strategy
