mentioning LOST's church ending got me riled up about the racism in LOST again lol. i obviously am aware that some actors just did not return to production for possibly other reasons, but also especially in the case of harrold perrineau (michael dawson) he felt like his character (and walt, his son) was treated like shit by the writing. and he was absolutely right. i've already made posts about this (will try to dig them up later), but michael was treated absolutely bullshit and unfairly wrt the story. michael betrayed them and killed two people, yes, but what did he do it for but to protect his son? he felt like nobody gave enough fucks about walt and there was some truth to that claim. his whole character arc is about being a dad to walt and their improving relationship over the course of being stuck on the island, so of course he would do that. it just makes sense.

which is why i don't think it's all that fair to punish him for it immensely in the narrative. harrold perrineau said it himself that he didn't want michael and walt to be another case of the absent black father stereotype [citation needed, i'll look for it but he said it in an interview] yet that's what he ended up being anyway. after his and walt's escape from the island, apparently walt cast him away because he doesn't agree with what his father did—which i actually think its interesting to explore: walt disagreeing with michael's actions and trying to grapple with it, but i don't think separating him from his dad was the best writing choice to make. walt is being punished for caring about his son by making his son be the one to cast him away. you can argue it's supposed to be tragic, michael is supposed to be a tragic character, but with the context surrounding michael's character? there's better ways to make his character be tragic than this.

which brings me to his next punishment. i was happy to see michael again on the kahana (just happy to see him in general), but it didn't last long when he gets killed, sacrificing himself to prevent/prolong the kahana's explosion from happening. (put a 📌 on this bc it's similar to how sayid dies and we'll come back to that later.) michael dies here and walt doesn't know about this. and then michael joins as part of the whispers, his soul trapped on the island (presumably forever) and that's why he's not in the church ending.

i'm gonna be frank. michael being trapped on the island because of his guilt or remorse or perhaps repenting for his sins is just bullshit to me. a lot of characters seen in the flash sideways and in the church ending are characters who've done "bad things". it's bullshit to have michael be the only one doomed to pay for his misdeeds forever. his misdeeds for... killing two people. not that killing two people is Nothing, but moreso if you examine the circumstances it's hardly anything to be damned eternally for.

remember the 📌 we had wrt sayid and michael? both of them died trying to prevent an explosion from reaching everybody else. which makes this more egregious imo. i can say 1000 things about sayid's arc (points to url), but this is about michael and not him, so i'll just focus on this: sayid was grappling with "being a bad person" for torturing and killing so many people. he worked as an assassin for ben. and yet, somehow, you're telling me sayid is not being damned eternally for his misdeeds but michael is? if you don't see the BS in that i don't know what to tell you.

i'm also aware why some characters don't appear any more re:conflicts with their actors (or just availabilities or other reasons for declining to come back), but even then arguably any conflicts with harrold perrineau stemmed from a justified place because of how michael was treated.

i think mr eko had a more dignified arc (he's one of my fav characters, thematically speaking) and honestly he had some of the rawest shit i've ever heard:

I ask for no forgiveness father for I have not sinned, I have only done what I needed to do to survive. A small boy once asked me if I was a bad man, if I could answer him now I would tell him, that when I was a young boy I killed a man to save my brothers life. I am not sorry for this, I am proud of this. I did not ask for the life that I was given but it was given none the less, and with it I did my best.

but despite this it doesn't change the fact that his absence in the church ending is very noticeable. he had meaningful connections with charlie, with locke, and interestingly like michael he kind of parallels sayid but this time thematically through their arcs. sayid is constantly burdened with feeling like he's a bad person and resigning to it as some sort of self-fulfilled prophecy, but mr eko is very firm about how he sees himself as not necessarily a bad man, just a man whose hands were forced because of the cards he was dealt. i wish we could have seen a more direct parallel between them, because it would've been interesting. back to the main point: i think it's such a missed opportunity for mr eko to not be here. especially since even after his death, hurley was able to communicate with his ghost, showing that he still had connections with his fellow losties even long after his death.

ana lucia being "not ready to move on" is interesting. but ultimately you can't help but raise a few eyebrows at it anyway. you can argue that, unlike mr eko she died an unresolved death, but most of the LOST characters died with an unresolved death. (she was killed early.) that's the whole point of the sideways segments. so what makes ana lucia so different from the others? yeah she killed shannon, but that was completely a freak accident. her people (the tailies) were being picked off one by one by the other so she was understandably on edge. she was kind of a hated character but i think a lot of it is just racism and misogyny combined tbh. (LOST is...notorious for a lot of misogynistic character writing decisions.) ana lucia was just as complex and morally "ambiguous" as the rest of them. i find the decision to make her corrupt in the sideways segments interesting (negative). cz like, there was never any indication she was like this in real life. what does that corruption symbolize? because obviously that corruption is a key to why she "can't move on yet". what exactly is she supposed to be repenting for? they hinted at a possible direction her arc is going towards before killing her off, ie. her ultimately choosing not to kill "henry gale" because she no longer wants blood on her hands. again, in a way, she's just like sayid! someone who decided they'd turn away from ceaseless violence. only right afterwards she got killed. so what does she need repenting for so much that she's left out of the church ending? much to think about.

i don't really know how to conclude this post. but my main point is that the lack of these characters during the church ending is and has racist implications. (again, i understand the casting issues, but it's still a writing decision you can critique as a viewer at the end of the day). i'll try to find the old posts i made last year abt michael and mr eko and their parallels to sayid and link them here (and self reblog).

edit: go read/look up "burn it down". it details a lot of the behind the scenes mistreatment of the staff (including racism and sexism), including actors and writers. the quote from an interview from harold perrineau that i mentioned was also linked in a reblog. (post link)

Namaste, Losties!

With the help of @obsessivedaydreamer, I started Lost Game Nights last year, in November. It used to be just us and our closest mutuals, and we’d have a blast every time. Since then, we’ve expanded a little bit. But we’ve had a few additions to the fandom since, and it feels like a good time to go even further.

For the sake of maintaining anonymity, we use an app/website called Wire (which works on Android, iOS, and browser) and, while it requests your email for sign-up, you’re not required to share any information beyond a username — which might as well be your Tumblr username or anything else of your choice — to participate.

Usually, we go through three games in one game night: Gartic, Gartic Phone (which, I promise, is different), and Stopots. We are open to new online games, as long as they are free, easily playable — or explainable — and follow Wire in their anonymity level.

Our Games

Gartic is a simple draw-and-guess game. The game sorts us into a drawing order and we each take turns choosing a word out of the two options it gives us to draw for the group. You get points as people guess your drawing correctly and if you guess correctly, too, when you’re one of the people guessing, but the order of those correct guesses can mean more or fewer points, depending on how quick you are!

Gartic phone is a cross between Gartic and Telephone. To start, each player writes a sentence. Then, those sentences are randomly distributed across the players, and each person draws a picture inspired by the sentence prompt. When time is done, those drawings are then distributed among the players and each person describes what they see. Then those descriptions go out and you draw a picture and so on. At the end, you get to see each stage of those initial sentences compiled into albums. There are also a few other modes that follow a similar idea.

(drawings and prompts are allowed — and encouraged, but that’s up to you! — to be LOST related)

Stopots is what most people know as Scattergories. There are categories and we all get the same letter at the same time and we have to fill said categories with words starting with the selected letter. Whoever fills every category first gets to press the stop button and end the round for everyone, otherwise, fill as much as you can before the timer runs out! At the end of each round, you get to see all the answers and vote if they are valid or not.

Some general rules and guidelines

RESPECT IS A MUST. While this is Tumblr and we don’t usually have to worry about this, I feel inclined to reinstate that we expect you to be respectful of your fellow fandom-mates and competitors. Racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc., as well as any kind of insulting name-calling, will not be tolerated and you’ll be banned from future game nights.

While the games listed are COMPETITIVE games, it is expected that the main goal is to have fun with friends. Winning is fun, but so is getting to spend time together and getting to have a communal activity. It’s important, for the overall experience for everyone, if the games are played as expected. Don’t be a sore loser and mess with the game just because it’s not going as you wished it to.
