LOST

Four posters graphically inspired by this amazing show: the plane crash (1), the black smoke in the jungle (2), the different personalities of Ben (3) and the mystery with all the characters (4). You can take a look to more of my designs in my ig <3

every episode of lost (1.17 in translation)

Everyone gets a new life on this island, Shannon. Maybe it's time you start yours.

Just finished Lost for the 9000th time and sobbed just as hard as I did the first time (I also watched the last like 6 episodes back to back and that was NOT a good idea). It really is the most perfect, beautiful show ever made. Goddamn. I am in shambles but still absolutely in awe of how incredible that was (even though, like I said, I’ve seen it more times than I can count). Greatest show of all time, no contest.

JIN AND SUN KWON: Me And My Husband - Mitski

[sunshinefullsun]

Ranking my Lost fav characters from I would love to argue with them to I would give them a kiss on the forehead

Benjamin

Ok this was a bit obvious to be the first but just imagine the possibilities of annoyance together with headache and fierce sarcasm he'd spit through that sassy and egotistical mouth of him. Yes. He'd ate all my arguments like he ate the show.

Michael

His story, background and character development are stunning, yet he's so hardheaded I would definitely argue with him all day.

Rose

I love her, like a lot, yet she's so stubborn I'm sure we'd throw hands at the end or roll over with laughter because how stupid everything is, there's no in between.

Jack

He has that pretty privilege that allows him to be so… him. Well, I really like how complex he is and appreciate his role a lot, yet please I want -no, I need- to refute every single logical thing mixed with one hundred childhood traumas he says every two seconds.

Sayid

He's so hot in that mysterious and problematic way, I'd say yes to every incompetence he'd make, because he does that a lot, then fight against him again for doing so.

Jin

Probably the most handsome man on earth, yet so easy to tease. Understanding his character was a roller coaster ride of emotions but he's just a huge grumpy teddy bear in adult format, and such a good person despite it all.

Kate

I think she's one of the best charismas on the show, even if she has still so much to unpack inside. We'd have girls talk at night while doing arms workout or stop talking for months, that's how I see it.

Sawyer

He's one of the funniest characters ever on tv history, yet he can be so cocky and arrogant sometimes I wouldn't doubt to annoy him and oh a bit of romance tension oh what a pity.

Charlie

Even if in the show was already older than me now, he'd be like the little brother I've never had: funny, cute and annoying af. I love him a bunch and I don't think I could stand being angry at him like yes king whatever.

Juliet

She's like the perfect mix of cold and warm, logics and emotions. I don't think I could argue with her but rather have an intense discussion about a specific topic and then realice we both think the same.

Miles

He serves cunt after cunt after cunt. That's why we'd have cunty discussions sometimes.

John

He's crazy in the best way possible. I think I'd simply disagree with him to see how he reacts and then say it's ok you're right as always.

Danielle

I'd be that friend that believes every single craziness that she says and would definitely blindly supportive because how much I love this woman.

Sun

She's just so calm and fierce at the same time, every second she's on screen I'm happier than before and she deserves everything muah queen.

Desmond

He's so passionate about everything he does I'd definitely kiss him in that gorgeous hair of him and scream yes brother.

Hurley

I'd save him into my pocket and tell him everything's fine while he looks at me in those disbelief and comedy relief eyes with his perfect curls. Exactly.

[elizabeth-mitchells]

your honor, they keep doing it (staring at each other more affectionately than they have any right to and making me insane about it)

Lost S1 Rewatch: Destiny&Deception

I've just finished my S1 rewatch (after 20 years, gosh) and I find myself groundlessly surprised.

Surprised because I've just realized how deep the theme of "deceptions&lies&cons" runs through the series.

Groundlessly because it doesn't exactly take a genius to notice it, the writers are absolutely clear in that respect, every episode of S1 features a bunch of lies and some good ol' deception for good measure.

So while I wouldn't deny that "Destiny vs Free Will" is one of S1's major themes... I wouldn't say it's the MAIN theme. I think "Deception" is. Which is possibly even worse because if the main theme of a narrative is "Deception" and the close-to-main-but-not-quite is "Destiny" you kinda know you're in for a hell of a ride.

If we stop and think about it, the vast majority of Losties are not exactly people unwilling to deceive for their personal gain, tell lies and sometimes even straight up con others.

Kate and Sawyer are, of course, professional manipulators and the fact that they are among the main characters is already super telling. Sayid is a "communication officer", an expert in detecting lies and, we'll come to know in "The Greater Good", a good one in telling them too in order to basically con his own friend. Jin and Sun know too well the intricacies and the depths of lying: Jin lies about his own father to his soon-to-be bride and then keeps lying to her about his business with her father (although, it must be noticed, that it's a reluctant lie and something he didn't even know he had gotten himself into in the first place). Sun lied about her English, yes, but, most importantly, she was planning to leave Jin and failed.

Then we have Locke who surely tells some white lies. He seems to portray Helen as his partner but maybe this is less of a lie he tells other people than one he tells himsel. He also lies to the travel agency about his physical condition. Not to mention all the lies he tells on the island. However, Locke is undoubtedly the victim of a vicious con. Anthony Cooper, John's father, is a better confidence man than Sawyer could ever be.

Shannon is also a deceiver and sort of a scammer because she's schemed this convoluted way of getting her hands on the money that she didn't inherit from her father by playing Boone and leaning on his twisted love for her. Conversely, Boone is a victim both of Shannon's deception and of Locke's lies. Boone tries to be stealth when he steals the remaining water because he wants to ration it but fails miserably. On an island inhabited by more or less successful deceivers he was the innocent sacrifice the island demanded.

Walt lies too but, I mean, he's a child, although I bet that burning the raft took some pretty crafty scheming for a 10-year-old. He comes clean to Michael so that's good. Michael also lies to Walt but I've got a hard time classifying it as a "deceiving lie" because he didn't tell his long-lost, grieving-the-death-of-his-mother estranged son that his adoptive father has basically returned him to sender. So, yeah. But hey, still thematically relevant.

Charlie is both deceived by his own brother and a deceiver to Lucy, the rich girl he dated to steal some of her antiques in order to get some money to buy more drugs.

Claire, like John and Boone, is a victim of the deception of both his son's father, Thomas, and of Mr. Makin, the psychic.

Hurley is the proverbial exception to the rule because I think his lie is a rightful omission. All the more so if we think about what happens when he tells the truth (Charlie thinks he's taking the piss, Jack quite vulgarly implies that he's crazy). Which is ironic because his "lie" (not disclosing the info about the curse and the numbers) would actually make A LOT of sense on the island.

Finally, Jack. What about him? I think he's the character that deceives himself the most. He lives by the "Do No Harm" rule and the same name episode tells us exactly this: do no harm to others but you can harm yourself no problem.

And what about Rousseau and Ethan? Ethan literally infiltrated the Losties and deceived them while Rousseau disguised her motives to approach the Losties (i.e. to inform them about the imminent coming of The Others) in order to kidnap Aaron.

So what does this all mean?

Season 1 seems to silently ask: are Destiny and Deception the two sides of the same coin? Is Deception inherently weaved into the fabrics of Destiny or is Destiny at work through Deception? Is Destiny itself a Deception? Or is it lie we tell ourselves so we can pretend to not care about the consequences of our actions, like Jack's father Christian ("That's why the Red Sox will never win the World Series")? Oh, so many questions!

Beautiful, beautiful season! <3

[kittiewales]

we should’ve seen more of them gossiping right in front of people

[ginawankenobi]

What my first impression of the Lost characters would be if I were watching for the first time now:

(I love all these characters like they’re my own family, and like my own family, I will not hesitate to roast them)

Jack: main character syndrome but won’t acknowledge it. Probably voted for Bush in 2000 for “fiscally conservative” reasons. A take-charge dude.

Michael: who’s Walt? Disney? (Sorry Mike, I 🤍 you)

Shannon: valley girl, definitely drives a pink vehicle. Only drinks soy lattes. Could be a Hollywood scream queen.

Charlie: but why’s the rum gone? Oh hey there, Meriadoc!

Claire: could also be a scream queen. So cute. Why flying at 8 months preggy, though? Desperation? Determination? Fear?

Boone: lifeguard. Auditioned for a Baywatch reboot. (I legit forgot he was actually a lifeguard and cried laughing when he mentioned it later)

Hurley: faints at the sight of blood, too pure for this world

Rose: lucky lady #blessed

Jin: Korean is a beautiful language and that’s a beautiful man. Very corporate-looking, though.

Kate: obvious love interest for Jack. Can be talked into anything if she finds the guy attractive. (jk, but only kind of)

Sawyer: broody. Started smoking at 13. Marlboro approached him about being a model for them. Gets into fist fights regularly. (I 🤍 you so much James but let’s face it, you had a LOT of growing up to do.)

John: chill dude. Likes oranges.

Sayid: another take-charge dude. Main character but doesn’t know and never acts like it.

Sun: hates being subservient. Will fight against it.

every episode of lost (2.13 the long con)

You know what's making you stupid right now? It's your damn hormones. You think you're in love, but you're not. You know, a tiger doesn't change his stripes, James. You're a con man, just like me. And it's not what you do, it's what you are. Do I make myself clear?
