this fandom is so black and white when it comes to characterization, nobody realizes it’s a balance and just runs with one thing. Either they characterize laura lee as a total saint as if the whole reason she died wasn’t because she was testing her own faith, or mischaracterize her that she’d be the first in line for the cannibalism just because she saw god in lottie.

don’t get me started on people who think jackie would support shauna as the antler queen because that’s her best friend who she’s in love with when she was visibly disgusted by shauna at doomcoming simply for having a knife on travis’s throat

The I know what you are look Lottie gave Shauna and Melissa after their “that’s fucking power” and handholding exchange

misty: shauna would have left mari in the pit

natalie: hey. but yea she would have

shauna: yeah i would have

i beg let's make this cannon it'll be so fucking funny

im shocked that i havent seen shipping of these 2 because the potential😭

edit: ive been strong armed by @softantlers the ship name is vapefork

Lottie mourns not being able to eat laura lee like shauna got to eat jackie WHAT WHO SAID THAT

I can't even argue with this tbh

People who don't watch the show should try to guess what she's smiling about here

i’m tired of seeing lottienat be mischacterized as a popular girl x loner/outcast dynamic when, in reality, they’re BOTH canonically outcasts with very few genuinely close friends pre-crash. it’s why lottie slides into the role of group leader so well; she’s not used to people genuinely admiring or looking up to her back home. it’s why natalie meets her with such resistance; she’s fine being an outcast, being alternative—, hell, sometimes she even seems proud of it—, and she can’t believe lottie would give in to all that wilderness bullshit for what she perceives to be no other reason than community. natalie is the one who comforts lottie when she wakes up in the middle of the night for a reason. she’s the one who tends to her wounds in the bathtub after shauna pummels her for a reason. it’s because she knows what it’s like to be the the crazy one, the targeted, the outcast, the lonely. stripping them of that shared loneliness changes their dynamic to the point that it’s unrecognizable.

y’all don’t want lottienat, you want jackienat.
