[lost characters as crane wives characters. lets go]
[jack shepherd - know how]
[fundamentally a song about anxiety and not being able to move on, feeling trapped and resistant to let things change even when it should be for the better. jack can't move on, it's a fundamental driver of the story, he always feels like he can't be done with anything.]
[kate austen - easier]
[ive talked about this before but. its literally her. girl who feels like she cant ever find peace staying in one place. girl who just wants to settle down but can never find a way to cure that aching in her chest to move.]
[john locke - new discovery]
[john felt like he was stuck, a sad old man with nothing to live for, just going through the motions without purpose. so, he searches for something to give him meaning, but even when he finds it in the island, he feels like he has to keep pushing and keep forcing on to preserve that sense of purpose, because he has to be moving towards something, or else it was all for nothing.]
[james "sawyer" ford - ancient history]
[okay i really love this one. ancient history's so james core its about a traumatic past that you can't help but let color your existence. like james, the singer feels defined by what's happened to them because of how much it still hurts them. he tries to move on, but he's trapped in cycles.]
[sayid jarrah - the wolf]
[well someone sure thinks they're a monster. the singer of the wolf sees themself as something dangerous and violent, something that will inevitably hurt the people they care about. both the singer & sayid feel like they're trapped in cycles that just hurt themself and others.]
[hugo "hurley" reyes - volta]
[very much a song about mental health. specifically it's about improving, finally deciding to do something about what you've been through. fundamentally volta's a song about hope & making a change for yourself in a way that's super reminiscent of hurley.]
[sun-hwa & jin-soo kwon - curses]
[okay yes i know all the rest of the characters got their own separate songs and all but 1. sun & jin's arcs are so heavily defined by each other in a way unique to them, and 2. curses is so incredibly them i dont want to pass it up. the two struggle to find the words for each other, to be open about what weighs on them and their secrets, to the point it nearly destroys their relationship. but, in the end, the two still stay together, they still try to improve their relationship.]
[charlie pace - the garden]
[the garden is in large part a song about catholic guilt. need i say more? it doesn't matter because i will. charlie feels incredibly guilty over his past and his actions, but struggles to respond to that guilt, instead stewing in self-hate and fear.]
[claire littleton - here i am]
[claire forever feels abandoned. in her flashbacks and by people on the island, she is always left behind by the people she cares about, until she feels like her loneliness is forcd to define her in season 6.]
[desmond hume - little soldiers]
[little soldiers is extremely despen coded. desmond insists that he cares about penny, but fears that after everything, he's hurt her too bad. and yet, him and penny still try, they still put in the work to improve and stay together.]
[aight thats all i can fit for now ill add a part two in a bit]

Lost’s Solar System of Sadness
The Sun is alone, but it still shines brightly. Yet, when it can no longer hold its weight, it will explode.
Mercury, the forgotten planet. It’s proximity to the Sun is burning it out.
Venus planet of love, was destroyed by global warming.
Earth's worst sin is that it has destroyed itself for nothing.
The moon doesn’t glow, it’s only light is a reflection, but it is gladly given to the Earth. And the Moon has a dark side it would not like to let the Earth see.
Even Mars once had water on its surface.
The Sun took Jupiter’s resources and didn’t leave much in its wake. Jupiter is not a failure, it’s a falsehood of misguided hope. A personification of desperation.
Saturn is losing it’s rings.
Uranus was closer to the Sun in the past, but with the arrival of the other planets, it was moved away.
Neptune is drifting away from our solar system.
Pluto is considered too small to be part of the solar system.

I finally FINALLY got hubby to sit down with me and agree to watch LOST. He’s seen like the first season and a half and wasn’t too keen on it at all (and he’s heard a lot about how it kinda starts to fall apart halfway through) but he also knows that I’m a big fan with a big fanfiction in progress and I’ve been wanting to rewatch the show to check on some details for the fic. I’ve already found like eight things I need to modify and we’re only three episodes in.
Also I can tell I’ve matured because while I’m still fond of my sassy Sawyer, Sayid is like, my fave? He’s so sweet and he’s got those big dark eyes and that dorito-shaped chest (nowhere near as intense as Chris Evans but it’s there and based on gifs I think it gets more prominent in later seasons). And I cried when we first saw all of the main characters in that first episode. My baby Claire, my stressed Jack, my stoned Charlie and Kate and Vincent and Walt and Hurley and—
Uhhgh. I love these people so much.
Tomorrow, the fic revising begins!!!
