Hii sweetheart

I am a dweeb so I think that Sofia saw or thought she saw the potential of rafe to be good...he is still bad/selfish but we can see more of his humane side of him....I so wish we got this scene that would have shown us that she dragged his ass watching the whole turtle scene

Also fiona keeps saying that Sofia and rafe give off more Bonnie and clyde vibes...this was in May btw....I genuinely want the screenwriters to explore that side of the relationship.

Also I think the fact that Sofia doesn't know about rafes past and rafe doesn't know about Sofias intentions will be (or hopefully atleast) the main point in rafias storyline. The writers were talking about jjs death will be a main part of the pogues arc but rafe exactly is not part of the pogues (yet. I genuinely don't want him to be near the pogues except Sarah or John b). So I hope again wishfully hoping that they explore their betrayal and how they are going to overcome ittt

Also I miss my babies bad I NEED THEM TO COME HOME....I NEED SHOOTING TO START NOW

Hi lovely!! Sorry for taking so long to get to your ask😔💕

Yessss!! I totally agree! Idk why they cut that scene? Was it to make us sympathise with Sofia more if we viewed her more as a pushover? Idk it would’ve been nice to see her bite back at him for once and how he would’ve reacted.

And I don’t necessarily think she saw the “potential for him to be good”, I genuinely believe she thinks he is good. I think her thought process is ‘He treats me right (for the most part) so that must mean he is a good person’. Which is obviously incredibly misguided. That’s why that deleted scene feels so important in their relationship— because for once she sees him be needlessly cruel. When he shouts at the girl in the party, she doesn’t get mad at him, she just seems to be disappointed/pitying. She understands he’s acting up because he’s upset about Ward. But during the beach scene he straight up does nothing while his friends try and run over the pogues. So it’s like the first time (that we see) she’s seeing that asshole side of him. Where he blatantly chooses to do the wrong thing. And her idealised notion of him is tainted.

ANDDDD the subtext that scene could’ve had regarding the whole chatting shit behind her back scene. Where Sofia is berating Rafe for what happened down at the beach while getting her feelings out about what he said to Ruthie and Topper. Sofia voicing her emotions and hurt is through a veneer…like yeah she’s asserting herself, but still it’s cowardly. Still she’s hiding behind something. The only way she can stand up for herself is through the guise of standing up for someone else.😔😔😔

Like everyone else, I would love for her to grow a backbone, but I fear that would be out of character😭gosh I love her sm!!

And yessss!! I need her to get a good plot next season please please please. Expand more on that Bonnie and Clyde vibe. I def think Fiona means she’s “ride or die”, like she’s with her man, despite all the murder allegations, rather than her partaking in bad things with him😭

“Also I think the fact that Sofia doesn't know about rafes past and rafe doesn't know about Sofias intentions will be (or hopefully atleast) the main point in rafias storyline”

Exactlyyyy!! Like everyone makes such a big deal about her not knowing about things…have you guys heard of dramatic irony!?! Yk, the plot device to make the plot actually interesting??? Like do you just want all the cards on the table straight away. ‘…Okay his love interests knows about xyz thing…okay his love interest is aware of xyz character flaw…Nowww I can start shipping them…’ that’s how those takes read to me.

So I know ur a Sofia and Rafe shipper so can I pick your brain on something?

Personally I can’t get behind Sofia and Rafe, not bc of her being a Pogue or whatever everyone else says. But it’s the fact Rafe killed someone and everything else he did after.

And I know there’s the whole ‘Sofia makes him better/good’ debate but I feel like it comes off as her not knowing the whole story and seeing him as the victim.

(Like that line where she’s like you’re not like the others or whatever she said, like I legit said no he’s worse when watching the scene 😂)

Because personally if I found out my bf killed a cop then proceeded to let someone else the blame for it. AND ALSO tried to drown his own sister. I would ask for a restraining order and move countries.

But anyway, I bring this to you to get your opinion of it.

“I can't get behind Sofia and Rafe…it's the fact Rafe killed someone and everything else he did after”

I suppose that’s true. He’s done an immoral thing and deserves punishment, not redemption through Sofia. But I don’t really care. That element of deceit in their relationship just makes in more interesting to me imo.

“And I know there's the whole 'Sofia makes him better/good' debate but I feel like it comes off as her not knowing the whole story and seeing him as the victim”

I don’t really vibe with the take that she “changed” or “fixed” him and made him better. She didn’t actively do anything to alter his behaviour that we see. Sofia didn’t think there was anything to fix. We don’t see her acknowledge the rumours about him nor do we see him treat her in a way that conveys his “bad” side. I think what Sofia’s done is shown Rafe unconditional kindness, something that he’s never experienced before. That allowed him to just be better. Sofia let him heal.

Imo Rafe’s a very reactive person (despite him saying he’s proactive [I repeat– everything he says is a contradiction guys!]). He responds to the way people treat him, or the way people nudge him into an action. Sofia treating him nicely and just in general being a very sweet girl, meant it elicited a similar response. Where he in turn treated her with kindness and sweetness and love.

And you’re right. She doesn’t know the whole story. Rafe’s probably painted himself as the victim. She wants to believe him. And he wants her to love him. They’re both happy with that deceit if it means they can exist in their little bubble.

“Like that line where she's like you're not like the others or whatever she said, like I legit said no he's worse when watching the scene”

I mean he wasn’t like the others. I think people need to consider Sofia’s perspective a bit more. Ik it isn’t really shown to us, but if you just empathise a bit with her maybe then the information wouldn’t need to be spelled out.

She’s a bartender. A pogue. Rafe knew that yet he still invited her to the party. He slept with her. He treated her nicely and saw her as an option. We can assume from the line “you’re not like everyone else at the club with their golf shoes and shiny watches” that class and status is important. They look down on her. Yet Rafe looked past those things and asked her to be the girl on his arm at the party. Yeah he is worse. We’ve seen him be worse. He’s materialistic, he’s classist, he’s abusive, he’s a dick. But he didn’t show any of that to Sofia. To her, it seemed like he disregarded class and status for her. So yeah, the line “you’re different– I like that” makes sense, from Sofia’s point of view.

It’s meant to be ironic. He’s not different. He is worse. But imo, that scene was there to show Rafe he can be different. He has the capacity for good. Back to the point of him being reactive—someone seeing that goodness made him react and save Ward.

“You’ll do the right thing, I know you will”— Sofia doesn’t actively convince him to do the right thing (ergo she “fixes” him). Her belief was enough for him to fix himself (or at least fix his mistakes).

“if I found out my bf killed a cop then proceeded to let someone else the blame for it. AND ALSO tried to drown his own sister. I would ask for a restraining order and move countries”

Well she doesn’t know this😭we’ll see if she finds out.

Idk, I get a lot of people trying to get me to justify and defend rafia as if I paint them as being 100% healthy and perfect for each other. I don’t think they are. I think what makes them work is their codependency. Which is not healthy. But their dynamic interests me and the scenes we get with them are compelling. You don’t have to think so, but I do.

I’m watching motorheads rn and once again the ship I’m rooting for is NOT the fan favourite (I’ve barely seen anyone talk about them) and the ship that everyone seems to be gunning after I hate :/

[lostsyren]

What did Madelyn say on TT about Riare?

[lostsyren]

There’s sm bts of the end of s3, where the pogues receive the award. Of Sofia in a waitressing outfit. Of Shoupe and Limbrey. And none of these characters have an ounce of relevance in the Final Cut. Which makes me think, were they initially planning to go in a different direction for s4? Why have these actors in full costume on set if they’re not going to be in any scenes? We’ve seen Fiona say there were a lot of changes in the direction they took Sofia’s character, so I wonder what the initial plan was?

If there was another storyline, what could it have been?

It annoys me because I had these questions back during s3 when there were all these bts pics and vids of this specific scene and then the actual scene itself was a 2 min cop out to introduce the next treasure hunt. I was waiting for the pay off in s4. Like Sofia’s presence in the bts being significant. Even Limbrey. I would’ve preferred if they explored her character more rather than create all these new villains we don’t care about. But unfortunately there was no pay off and I’m stuck wondering what happened in all the scenes they’ve scrapped :/

GTA!RAFIA AU

[ Loosely based on the characters:

Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval ]

SUMMARY

Outer Banks. Paradise on Earth. But on the drug riddled streets of the Cut, that’s not what it feels like to Sofia Flores. She just wants to escape the muggy marshlands and get off the sticky tarmac that clings to the soles of her reeboks. But that’s a tough dream to dream with a family that needs her. So when she meets the smooth talking Rafe Cameron, maybe she’s finally found her ticket out of ‘paradise’…

On the sunny planes and stretching golf courses of Figure 8, Rafe Cameron is driven out by his overbearing father. He gets roped into the underworld of the Cut, trafficking in drugs, guns and cash— a whole lotta cash. But still it’s not enough. He wants to make it big. To be the man. And he’s got an idea to make that dream happen. So when Sofia Flores walks into his life, Rafe knows he needs her— in more ways than one.

CHARACTER INTRODUCTIONS

RAFE CAMERON

Rafe Cameron has a bad habit and an insatiable appetite for money. His dad thinks he’s useless, his friends think he’s a joke, but he proves them wrong. He meets Barry and gets involved in the seedy world of dope and dealings. He buffs up. He buzzes his hair. He’s finally making his own cold hard cash and proving Ward wrong.

But when he sees the pretty bartender from the country club over at Barry’s place, she becomes his new stimulant. Too bad she won’t give him the time of day.

But when she gets bagged by the cops, Rafe decides to help her out while Barry’s too busy patching up the drug bust.

If he wants to get her attention then he needs to trade in the currency of the Cut— favours.

They can both help each other out. Rafe’s got some ideas already…

SOFIA FLORES

Sofia Flores has always been a grifter— or as she likes to call it a hard worker. Whether it be working shifts at the country club, slipping her fingers into the patrons deep, deep wallets, or weaselling her way into the shady business that goes down on the outskirts of the Cut, Sofia has one incentive— provide for her family and finally escape this god forsaken island.

But when she meets Rafe Cameron one fateful night at Barry’s trailer, all that changes.

A deal goes wrong. The door bursts open. She’s too slow. And that’s how Sofia ends up in the back of a Kildare County cop car.

But less than 24 hours later, after she’d sat slumped against the grimy walls of her cell, trying to figure out how exactly the cops had busted them, she hears a patter of footsteps and the rattle of keys— Shoupe lets her go.

Turns out someone made bail.

And when she walks out of the Sheriff’s office, who does she see? No other than Rafe Cameron slouched against the hood of his car…
