Rewatching Lost and I’m on s2 and I forgot how ominous the others seemed before their ‘official’ introduction?

Like it’s so laughably funny in retrospect that they were painted as these inhuman, incomprehensible collective entity. The tail-end survivors are under the impression they’re some kind of supernatural force, capable of moving through the jungle without leaving trace, and possessing a knowledge of the island’s layout that they can’t even dream of replicating.

I see a lot of complaints online that the show was better before the Others were revealed but honestly I love that, in a show full of bored gods and ancient temples, the Others were just people. People who’d grown with the jungle, adapted to tread lightly and move fast. People who spent their time bickering over book clubs and watching TV. I loved the later addition that the crash shook up their way of life almost as much as those on the plane; suddenly faced with a new group of people, unaware what that will entail for them.

In conclusion I really enjoyed the gradual portrayal of the Others within the show; their slow transition from omnipresent malevolent force, to a group of people thrust into a unique situation.

(I still firmly hold the belief that everyone was collectively winging it for a solid 90% of the first two season. I mean, there’s no indication that plane’s regularly crash; I can only assume that the last ‘surviving’ addition to the island was Rousseau. None of those mfs were at all prepared for 60+ people to suddenly appear. Props to Ben for coming up w a plan in the .5 seconds he had to register a PLANE CRASHING bcs that could not be me)

Dumbass doodle that I completely forgot about (no context here lmao) with some contemplation of what to do with it, here it is!

It’s pretty obvious of what the ref was but here it it’s anyway

I JUST WANNA WRITE!!

I just want to write this fantasy story that has been sat in my head for just over ten years and has fantasy and darkness and medieval and political intrigue and love triangles and secret plots and vampires and lycans and kitsunes and mafia and huge battles and tender moments and magical artefacts and a million and one other things and I just want to tell people about it and spread it to the world and make it really good because I get ideas almost all the time and I would love to see it as a book and have it sit proudly on a bookshelf and bring it to life HELP!!!!

Seriously I've been looking at lycan stories and vampire stories and I want to make something new, something different, something interesting, something that mixes the genres up and injects a bit of life to it all! argh I don't even know where to start because I have sooooo much lore that I want to give to everyone and I want people to give feedback and I am sorry for this long post but I need to release

Oh and I have exams next week for uni so I better get all this out bye
