Shannon: When we get back to LA, you should just tell your mom that you rescued me again just like you always do… and then we’ll just go back.
Boone: To what?
Shannon: To what it was.
Boone: Like it’s all up to you.

FAVORITE LOST CAPS (ONE PER EPISODE) l 2X06 ABANDONED l HERE LIES BOONE CARLYSLE
Don’t even get me started because I seriously could go on for ages about this episode and this arc. And The Other 48 Days and Collision. AND HOW THIS TRILOGY IS THE MOST PERFECT THING LOST HAS CONSTRUCTED. For me, anyways. It makes me understand how this show works and love every character to the point where people just think I’m crazy. BUT YES. LET’S TALK ABOUT HOW EXCRUCIATING IT IS TO PICK ONE CAP FOR SHANNON IN THIS EPISODE? It sucks. It sucks because there’s this one shot of her looking back at Sayid and her herrrr is like blowing and shit and she looks like a princess but only the way Lost makes them. I finally decided that this was the cap because JUST LOOK AT IT.
Favourite Lost Caps l 1x02 Pilot II l She’s saying, Please help me. Please come get me… I’m alone now. On the island alone. Please someone come. The others, they’re… they’re dead. It killed them, it killed them all.

WALT: I think you should take Vincent.
SHANNON: Are you serious?
WALT: He’ll take care of you.
SHANNON: What makes you think I need a dog to take care of me?
WALT: Vincent took care of me when my mom died — and nobody would talk to me. They pretended like nothing happened. So I had to talk to Vincent. He’s a good listener. You could talk to him about Boone if you want.
SHANNON: Alright, but only until you get us rescued, okay.

#let me take this opportunity to tell you ALL OF MY FEELINGS about this lady #first of all haters you have been pressed since 2004 and you can remain that way because this lady is too good for you #she is clever and useful and vulnerable but she doesn’t like to let people see that because her whole life has been pool houses and debutant balls and being told that what she really wants for her life isn’t important or feasible or anything to be taken seriously over and over so much that she’s internalized it and started to believe that she’s only as valuable as her face and her body and when people don’t expect more from her than that then she doesn’t have to fear being laughed at or condescended to #but shannon’s so young and that teenage version of herself isn’t that far behind her and she can still remember what it was like before her dad died and she learned that it was less painful to just stop trying to make people believe in her #there’s a version of shannon who was just as mouthy and just as stubborn as this one except she kept her hair long and went to ballet six times a week because she knew she was going to damn well be somebody one day #there’s a version of her who used to spike the punch at the stupid uptight cotillions at the country club that she was always obligated to go to and she’d wear something too short and satin and fire engine red just to see the look on the chaperones faces and leave without her shoes #there’s a version of her who spent six months in paris because she was in love with a guy and she’s never told anybody that she learned french so she could talk to his kid when he wasn’t around because she knows how much it sucks not to have a real mom #and there’s this version of shannon who’s tired and fed-up and doesn’t know what kind of girl she is anymore and all she wants more than anything is to feel like she’s worth something more than an easy mark for a con man and checks signed by boone but it’s been so long since she did anything with her own hands that she’s afraid she doesn’t know where to start #shannon rutherford doesn’t have time for your bullshit
