I'm so grateful to Lost for the ship dynamics it gave me, bc it has literally everything I love, my favorite types and interactions!!

My all-time favorite is a poly triangle, there's room for suffering, jealousy, and silly questions like "why him and not me?" that must be answered in a too small for three people tent in the middle of the night, accompanied by the sound of the waves and soft sighs and moans. Kate, Jack and Sawyer. I thank the heavens for their photoshoots, their brilliant acting, and the ending of the island arc, which leaves us with no clear answer about who's with whom. Because there is no clear answer. Because they are all with each other. For me, kajawyer’s vibe is mom+dad+uncle who's lying on the couch in their house, drinking their beer, and taking showers with them, smirking mischievously. It's just perfect, there’re two alphas and their beautiful and challenging omega who needs the right approach. The dynamic is built on an emotional roller coaster, with some coming and going, but we all know that they can't be without each other in the end. (This is how the Jate’s arc looks outside the island for me, and I like to think that they can't exist without a third person, just like any good polyamory should have a balance and everyone should be able to support each other). They’re my found family and probably the only characters who have managed to give me that feeling in the show.

Sayid and Kelvin are my second basic dynamic, which has everything: power imbalance, age difference, traumatic military background, and one character's influence on the key events of the other's fate. I can't believe that Lost gave me so much!! I was watching different dynamics with Sayid in the s1 and half of s2, looking for the most tasty, but when Clancy Brown appeared on the screen... I didn't think for a second. I needed to see all the things with them (and draw it, which is what I'm doing). Society loses me as a human being when there's a strict, authoritative two-meter-tall top with a complicated past and ill intentions. And a bottom with a romantic personality, a sharp tongue and big puppy eyes, who will definitely do something terrible in the future, consume themselves with guilt, and unconsciously strive for submission. I will die on this hill and squeeze every last drop out of them. 

And the third dynamic that I don't get into often, but when I do, it's for a long time. Sayid x Nadia. I rarely ship straight couples, but the trope of two people deeply connected by something tragic in their past that never fully leaves them, even in their best moments.... In their case, it's even better bc they have three layers: a carefree childhood, the harsh reality of adulthood in war, and a future after years of searching and eventually accepting each other. Nadia is probably my favorite type of woman in the media, she's determined, stubborn, and doesn't hesitate to be blunt, but she's also soft and genuinely compassionate on the inside. Her inner strength amazes me bc she was able to forgive and accept someone who represents the regime she suffered from so closely. Even if it was a result of trying to hold on to a past where they were still children. It adds a layer of complexity to their dynamic, making it more nuanced and flavorful.

If/when I get to writing a longer benlocke fic, Kajawyer will absolutely be background canon and they will be so annoying but it will be like when Charlie is trying to make "you aaaaalll everybody" a thing where the narrative blatantly does not care what they have going on

Watched Lost 3.09, well, unfortunately an episode that suffers from some pretty blatant Orientalism bullshit. Jack's white boy main character tantrum in Phuket aside, I do like the developing dynamic between him and Juliet, and the interesting tension that's pulling out between Sawyer and Kate. They are so fun to think about as "throuple but also no individual pair is really that good". I am turning over Juliet in my mind as well, I will have to see how I like hers and Sawyer's dynamic later before deciding how I feel about the ot4.

It is still sooooo fun to see Ben helpless on the surgery block tho. I hope we have a whole episode of him and Jack just having the weirdest gallows humor dynamic together interspersed with DADDY ISSUES flashbacks

There's a daddy issues joke to be had with Ben and that's that his issue is He Is The Bad Dad lol
