Lost | 1.12 'Whatever the Case May Be'

[scimitar-and-longsword]

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.

do u think kevin smith said ok guys dont be gay please and jason lee and ben affleck were like easy you got it man and then went and did the most sexually charged scene in cinema

[nubuckleather]

the most important thing to me is that this isn’t what’s best for chris. if helena and ramon’s motivations were entirely unselfish, they would’ve said, okay, he can come stay with us for a couple weeks, get the space that he’s asking for, and then we’ll regroup as a family. but instead they moved him to texas indefinitely, and he’s basically been allowed to stew on the situation for months on end.

and they do it out of love in their minds, but it’s a love that’s founded on the same misunderstandings of eddie that they’ve held against him his entire life, and it’s a love that right now is using chris more than it’s protecting him. and that’s not good or healthy for him. in fact, it’s reinforcing for him the exact same flawed line of thinking that plagued both of his parents: that avoidance and running away are appropriate ways of dealing with your problems.

it’s molding him into the kind of man eddie expressly never wanted him to become—someone who, just like eddie and ramon and helena and shannon all at various points in their lives have, isn’t honest with themselves about what they’re feeling and why.

eddie loves his son, would never intentionally hurt him, feels horrible that he did anyway, and is doing everything he can to reach out and start rebuilding their connection while still trying to respect chris’s boundaries and desires, and chris deserves better than an environment that is, intentionally or not, consciously or not, encouraging him to continue to mire in the teenage petulance that, while eminently justifiable, isn’t going to serve him long term

I wrote this letter a few years ago right after I left, or, actually, after I... didn't come back... to Christopher... trying to explain why I couldn't be there. And I figured that if, for some reason, I never found my way back, that he'd want answers. And he needed to know that... it wasn't his fault. That his mother didn't leave because she didn't love him.

I’m finally getting around to watching the Merlin eps that have Katie on the commentary track.

She’s so chaotic it’s wonderful.

Not even 5 minutes into the finale, the topics covered have been:

- The homoerotic undertones in the show

- How everyone is topless a lot

- Katie says she hasn’t been topless on Merlin and Julian says something along the lines of, “Well, you will be in your next project.”

- Katie getting very Irish when she’s angry

Okay I’ve had several days to think about it, and I’m not upset about Eddie’s cheating storyline anymore.

Nobody asked, but HERE’S why.

Eddie is an incredibly traumatized character. The military experiences (+ his dead friends), losing his wife so suddenly & without closure, and a couple near death experiences will do that to you! Add that to parents trying to take his child away ON TOP OF feeling like he needs to give Christopher a mother at any and all costs…? Maybe a little bit of Catholic guilt sprinkled in there too.

Season 5 was not my favorite for a myriad of reasons, but one thing I did like about it was Eddie’s complete mental breakdown. It felt like a long time coming... BUT. His mental breakdown didn’t even really scratch the surface of his issues, and there are still a lot of things he needs to face before he can truly be at peace. One of those things is Shannon.

The effect that Shannon’s loss had on Eddie has, in my opinion, never been explored properly. We got a little of it in season 3 with the illegal fighting, and then hints of it again when he was with Ana, but it never felt like closure to me. It felt like season 6 tried to give him closure (through Marisol), but it wasn’t satisfying because it was more or less a duller version of what happened with Ana. “Moving on” for his sake, but with no real emotional repercussions. Maybe this is just a personal opinion, but his story has felt like a ticking time bomb to me since the moment he broke up with Ana. His breakdown in s5 wasn’t the real bomb though.

Now imagine being Eddie, a guy with a lot of unresolved guilt and feelings for a woman who died right in front of him. Imagine you see a woman with that dead wife’s exact face. I can honestly say I have no fucking clue what I would do in his position. What he did- erasing Marisol in his first conversation with this lookalike Kim, then later lying to Buck to meet up with Kim- is morally not okay. Sure. Would any of us act in a rational way though?

I’m not meaning to justify cheating, but I do genuinely believe this is one of the only ways that stubborn ass was going to figure out his issues in a way that might actually help him move on. He’s being delusional with Kim, and once the ball drops, I believe there’s a great big breakdown waiting for him on the other end.

People often accuse Eddie of being the most boring of the 118, and I hate that assessment so goddamn much. Eddie is probably one of theee most complex characters (besides Buck) in the entire show. He’s self-destructive, kind, loyal, patient and impatient- he’s a good father and a good friend, and he’s FLAWED. That is why I love him so much.

My initial disappointment with him partially stems from me wanting him to have a singular season of PEACE, which…I realized wasn’t possible without blowing up the bomb first (would’ve preferred to disarm the bomb but I’ll take what I can get).

there it is again, that funny feeling

digging out my eah content part 4: the kittycorner (ba-dum-tss)

ID: a set of sketchy digital drawings featuring kitty cheshire. the first five make a short comic. one: kitty earnestly slow-blinks; her catlike eyes are bigger and shinier when she opens them. two: a bemused lizzie hearts playing with her deck of cards asks, “...huh?” three: embarrassed, kitty blurts, “nothing. bye.” and disappears. four: lizzie waves after her, still confused as she replies, “oh--bye???” five: maddie hatter pops up behind lizzie, blushing and delighted, exclaiming, “oh my, kitty!”  six: kitty lounges on a tree branch, smiling mischievously, one paw-like hand raised near her face as she says, “y’know, like nya” with a cat-shaped speech bubble. off-screen, indicated by a wolf-shaped speech bubble, cerise replies in all-caps: “stop.” seven: a grinning bust of kitty in a less cartoony style winks at the camera. end ID.
