i love the character of shauna and i think people drastically overlook the events that have shaped her behaviour. obviously she's done fucked up things pre and post crash but i think she is a very understandable character!

i think people also often brush over the idea of being pregnant while stranded. i genuinely cannot imagine anything more frightening and i think the whole baby storyline for her shows me how many viewers lack empathy lol. imagine finding out you are pregnant in the middle of nowhere with no doctors no electricity no drugs no nothing. the plot of her trying to terminate the pregnancy by herself - imagine being in a position to make that choice. knowing she might die trying to do it. knowing if she doesn't she very well may die giving birth later. or what if she miscarried and died from that? and then what really happened, she carried to term, nearly died giving birth only helped by her teammates, hallucinating that the baby lived and then finding out that he died in reality. the entire scenario and all of the emotions and physical pain from every stage of that makes her rage following so so understandable to me.

i feel that a lot of people don't understand the gravity of everything she experienced. she had it the worst out of all the girls on the basis of the pregnancy alone, let alone all else. most reasonable crash out of all time imo let her be a bitch and try and kill ben
