i hate when ppl compare suliet to jate like yeah jate is superior but it’s been in the works since s1 and if we’re being real jin x sun are the all time couple (they flopped it when they had them separated for so long + then promptly killed them off tho).
anyways even tho i love jate they’re my otp i will always have a soft spot for suliet, i think the issue with the relationship is the fact that we don’t get to see any of the buildup like i can see why sawyer grows to love juliet with the way he’s grown and i think juliet has this strong energy that sawyer finds attractive (she wears the pants in the relationship) but why does juliet love him?? they got stuck together time travelling eventually settling into the dharma initiative and obviously got to know each in this three years but we don’t see it and the problem is we don’t know juliet as well as we know sawyer and because of that we should’ve seen more of their relationship like the chemistry is there which is why i was rooting for them but in terms of actual screen time it’s so little! also why they shouldn’t have killed off juliet tbh

the adults are talking 🤤
IM SO GLAD I wanna finish it so bad but I need to do it justice. need to really sit down and flesh it out I've got like 2k words so far and I'm barely into the action.
have a little snippet
The British man – Frederick Dawkins, that was his name according to his file but not to him – stumbles along behind Shannon’s sauntering figure as she walks the corridors of the 16th floor. Benjamin Linus had rented out the whole top floor for them, but only one room contained what Shannon needed. She passed the rooms – 29… 30… 31… at 32 she finally stopped and pulled out her key. 
“Don’t mind the mess,” Shannon says. “I’m usually a neat freak about this stuff.” 
“Oh, Darling,” Frederick drawls, “don’t even worry about it.” He holds himself up on the door frame and Shannon can’t help smiling to herself. He’s got the look of a man who’s ready for another drink and a good fuck – and she only had one of those things to offer. 
She keys open the door and he stumbles inside after her. The room is, unlike Shannon expected, quite neat and tidy. Dammit, Sayid... Luckily Frederick’s too wasted to notice her inconsistencies. His hands demand more of her, taking a fistful of her dress at her hips and digging his fingers into her skin. 
Shannon yelps, more bothered with the fabric of her dress than her own body – it was Chanel after all. Sayid knew what she liked, other men… well, they knew what they liked. Sometimes it just happened to align with what Shannon liked – and more than she liked pretty dresses and expensive jewellery, she liked to laugh and she liked to talk and she liked to feel seen. She was yet to con a man who saw through her facade. It seemed she played her part too well. It was starting to become a part of her. She was beginning to miss the person she’d been on the island. There hadn’t been enough toys or money in the world there to distract her from what really mattered.

I would like to clarify that im working on like a million separate fics rn and it's so hard to just..... finish a single one. so here are a couple synopsises under the cut if anyone has any they're *specifically* interested in.
Ongoing Multi-Chapter Fics
Do I Wanna Know – Shannon Lives fic (season three but I am so behind I haven't even started the next chapter im so sorry)
Shannon forms a rivalry with a mysterious survivor on the beach while Sayid seeks answers from the Others about their encounter in the jungle.
Or, how Shannon and Sayid's story may have gone if not for that night in the forest.
You'll Find Someone – Shayid/Suliet in DHARMAville (I've almost finished the next chapter!)
It’s 1975 and Shannon is finally ready to play house with Sayid on Craphole Island, but first they have to do something about their roommates – A DHARMA AU in which Shannon and Sayid set Sawyer up with Juliet.
One Shots
The Adults Are Talking – Oceanic!Six AU (this could be multi-chapter but I don't have heaps of ideas yet)
Shannon's knowledge of men, money and the world coupled with Sayid's guilty conscious – What could go wrong? He's become possessive, she's become ruthless. Shannon wants them to run away together, but Sayid knows Ben will find them no matter where they go.
Dance – Post-Island Shayid (from the POV of the ballerinas at the Martha Graham Dance Company)
"Though the stories she did tell – when she eventually opened up – were of spoiled upbringings and men who took her on Jetset vacations across the world. The stories of that Shannon seemed so different to the woman who stood in front of them. She still wore designer clothes, still spoke about her dreams of travelling. While the other girls spent their nights at clubs and bars, Shannon came to class the next day with stories of high-end restaurants and charity galas. 
When the girls asked her why galas, she would smile and tell them, “I have a friend who won the lottery a few years back.” 
That only inspired in them more questions, never less."
The Giver – Shayid smut (more romantic but definitely rated E for Explicit, set in a post-Do Not Harm world where Boone lives)
Shannon is having a bad day and Sayid has an idea to cheer her up.
Fuck, Marry, Kill – A Lost Ladies fic (set during the golf game in Solitary)
Shannon challenges Kate and Claire to a game of Fuck, Marry, Kill with the men on the island.
Dissociation – Shannon (just.... Shannon)
For Shannon – money was power. Money was safe. Money was protection. But money didn't matter on the island. When she approached Sawyer for the can of bug spray he’d told her that money was useless here. The one thing Shannon was good at was of no use here.
He’d suggested trading sex and Shannon felt small again. Powerless. Money was power. What was her perfectly manicured body, her suntan and her blonde hair without money to keep it in her own control?
Untitled – Shannon and Ana Lucia smut (because why not)
no comment just vibes

i have no facilities to write creatively rn so this is bad but it’s shayid so :3
When Sayid’s knees hit the sand, Shannon’s stomach sinks. She lightly tugs on his hair with one hand, digging in the sand with her nails with the other. Never did she think she had to deal with this - never with a man she actually loves.
“Hey, come back up here.”
When he comes up, eye-level with her, Sayid’s eyebrows scrunch together. His hand smooths over her thigh, a comforting gesture. “Are you okay? Did I do something?”
Her throat feels like a knot. “Yeah, it’s just I don’t do that kind of thing.”
“You don’t like when men go down on you?”
Shannon wants to nod, but it doesn’t feel right. Instead, she admits, “Men never did that kind of stuff to me. I never asked.”
“And these boys, they never asked you what you wanted?”
She laughs, nearly a snort, something rehearsed. She’s never had to pay for her drink in a bar, even if she’s only been legal for a couple months. Australian men are surprisingly easy. “They’re older than you, Sayid.”
Sayid pushes her hands away from her face, looking straight into her eyes. Two tiny pits of shame. “Boys masquerading as men.”
His hair catches a breeze in the wind, their tent ruffling with it. She pulls him in for a kiss, smiling against his cheek.
“Men are dumb,” she says.
“That I know.” Her cheek fits in the palm of his, snug. Like it was made to fit all along. “They’ve never once asked you if they could taste you.”

killing off shannon + boone so early is deff one of the dumbest things the lost writers did, why would you introduce the ‘incestuous’ love boone has for shannon and then kill them off!? they had an interesting dynamic that would’ve been so interesting to explore especially the shannon + sayid of it all!!! also would’ve been interesting to see shannon make it back off the island and see how it would play out with nadia, would sayid get with nadia when she found him or would’ve he have stayed with shannon?? knowing the writers they deff would’ve had him leave shannon for nadia which in a way would’ve made sense even tho i think they love he has for nadia isn’t ‘real’ it’s more about the fact she knew a version of himself he doesn’t hate, she knew him before he was torturer so i think he would go to her in spite of shannon and it would be a huge mistake but the fallout would’ve been soo tragic and so good - one thing lost loves is making all these relationships suffer!

absolutely kills me that one of sayid's best looks is served at shannon's funeral. like he spends a season and a half only wearing a dirty ass tank top, even on dates with shannon, but then when it's time to bury her, suddenly he owns a clean collared shirt. i'm sure it's no coincidence and it's out of respect for her. but fuck. she should have lived to see him looking all bathed and shit!!! maybe he was saving his last clean shirt for a special occasion with her. i'm sick

wait omg which actor was it that got kept on despite an sa lawsuit? i dont think ive heard about this
Tumblr media
Henry Ian Cusick sexually assaulted a female crew member on the set of season 4. She got fired after coming forward and I think she said the rest of the cast and crew were pretty hostile to her. She took him to court with a lawsuit. He settled. Some believe the reason Desmond is hardly in season 5 is because of this........ Nobody can say. They did a pretty good job of covering it up. Many know about the matthew fox abuse allegations but rarely is this guy mentioned.

liking sayid and hating shannon is the most brain dead take of all time........ I can understand not shipping them, that's fine! there are plenty of lost ships I don't care for, but actively hating shannon or misunderstanding their relationship is a very quick way of telling me you don't actually like sayid at all. you just think he's hot. and you don't understand the most three dimensional and pivotal arc for his entire character in the six seasons of the show, nor would you understand the complexities of how he was underwritten and wasted, especially considering these are all issues naveen has with the show too......... if u just wanna watch him have gay sex with a racist southerner or really enjoyed his five minutes of screen time with his plot-device wife JUST SAY THAT!

wait okay as the resident shayid think piece writer I wanna add to this pls op <3 because YES yes yes yes YES 10000x yes
first of all, the way boone and shannon are the only two survivors besides jin and sun, walt and michael (barely) and nikki and paulo to know each other from before the crash and their relationship is different in that they're "siblings" and one of them died....... this sets them apart from every other mentioned duo and HOW was it not interesting to explore shannon's grief and her anger with the island for taking boone from her? like imagine THAT shannon getting to leave the island without her brother, THAT shannon being stranded in the 1970s knowing Boone wasn't even born yet! The possibilities are endless, the dynamics and everything but no......... for some reason they just killed her off.
but on your other point. the idea of shannon and sayid both getting off the island and being part of the oceanic six is something so dear to me but I think in canon it would have been....... complicated? like, considering shannon has shocking abandonment issues, after he promises to never leave her when they get off the island, if he DID actually leave her for nadia I would be so mad on shannon's behalf lowkey and I also don't think sayid is the type to do that. I think he would much rather keep his promise and "suffer" in silence – however I do think that shannon would break up with him for the same reason. I think nadia's presence in the real world would make her insecure and her fear of being left would encourage her to be the one that leaves, and I think that would be the only scenario in which he would get with nadia off the island while shannon is canonically STILL alive and present.
I think it would have held sooooo much promising angst like you said op and both of them being miserable by THEIR own choices by self sabotaging and being their own worst enemies (which I've said a million times is the issue with sayid off the island, he's so inactive he doesn't self sabotage like EVERYONE else does and instead The Plot comes to him and kills his wife with her 5 seconds of screen time) The angst that would come from shannon thinking he loves nadia more and believing she's done the right thing for him to prove that she isn't as selfish as she used to be and sayid would believe that shannon doesn't love him anymore (because why would she break up with him like that!!) so he goes to nadia and he finally has everything he wanted for so long but it's just not the same and he feels like he's settling. I don't think he would leave nadia, I think he might even marry her, because their relationship wouldn't be bad so to say and because he doesn't have anything else... I don't think he would ever be happy knowing he'd had shannon and lost her (jate core) it would be the perfect set up for an angsty (barely) love triangle and I'd hope that nadia wouldn't get killed off in that scenario because that's when sayid should have been an ACTIVE character and eventually make the choice to leave her or do something that makes her leave him. god I need someone to write this as a fic......
But honestly if I put my Lost writers brain on.... I could definitely see them taking the nadia route with shannon as an Oceanic!Six and having her be killed by widmore instead and it would very easily fit in to the rest of sayid's "arc" for the show – possibly even have it make more sense? They would probably just write nadia out completely in that scenario because they hate women.
killing off shannon + boone so early is deff one of the dumbest things the lost writers did, why would you introduce the ‘incestuous’ love boone has for shannon and then kill them off!? they had an interesting dynamic that would’ve been so interesting to explore especially the shannon + sayid of it all!!! also would’ve been interesting to see shannon make it back off the island and see how it would play out with nadia, would sayid get with nadia when she found him or would’ve he have stayed with shannon?? knowing the writers they deff would’ve had him leave shannon for nadia which in a way would’ve made sense even tho i think they love he has for nadia isn’t ‘real’ it’s more about the fact she knew a version of himself he doesn’t hate, she knew him before he was torturer so i think he would go to her in spite of shannon and it would be a huge mistake but the fallout would’ve been soo tragic and so good - one thing lost loves is making all these relationships suffer!

I hate the way shannon is always mischaracterised as a "mean girl" I once saw someone compare her to kathryn from cruel intentions and I was just floored by how terribly they had misinterpreted her... I do believe a lot of the hate shannon gets stems from the fact that she's objectively beautiful and the stereotype goes that beautiful blonde women are usually mean girls. but just because shannon is grumpy and selfish, doesn't make her mean. Unlike Sawyer, she doesn't insult anybody other than Boone (because he's her brother and he insults her just as bad) she sits around and minds her business. The correlation of having a bad attitude with being a bully feels rather sexist to me when you consider just how bad of an attitude characters like sayid have at multiple points throughout the show and he's never characterised as a bully... yes, she can be manipulative and selfish, but she's not going to push you in the mud and call you a slur. she really does just mind her business and sit there reading her little magazines. projecting your own experiences onto beautiful female characters needs to end please
