PIMP MY CANON

Levi, what is this?

This is PIMP MY CANON, a meme for doing exactly what it says on the tin. Here, you are going to sell your canon to your fellow bubble players!

Fellow bubble players, peruse the selection and maybe find a new canon to check out!

Okay how?

HOWEVER YOU HAVE TO. Post reasons why your canon is awesome! Post summaries, post pages, post gifs, post links to videos, post screenshots, post links to playthroughs, WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO.

Just uh, be mindful. Don't insert put too many images in your post (especially if they're big! Link to big things!) and link to videos rather than embed them. We want to make this accessible to everyone and go easy on connections.

Feel free to add to other people's posts with information of your own, or ask questions about a canon that's caught your eye! The idea here is to spread the love, after all!

Try to keep your spoilers to a minimum, too. If you think something might be spoilery, be sure to mark it!

(also be sure to hit preview before posting, broken codes cramping your style sucks)

OKAY BEFORE I SAY ANYTHING JUST....watch this. Just watch it. (And don't spoil yourself with the comments, it will ruin the surprise and awesomeness. >:I)

Now, if that scene made you go WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED? and OH MY GOD THAT WAS ACTUALLY KIND OF BADASS BUT WHAT WAS GOING ON???, then congratulations, you've been exposed to the cult TV show which every other show and it's mom references, LOST. And this is only one of hundreds of scenes that will make your jaw drop to the floor. What you had was a perfectly normal reaction, now come over here so I can give you a quick explanation of why you should go out and watch this show right now.

So, what is LOST about? Well, technically, it's about a bunch of people on a plane that crashes on an island in the middle of nowhere. And basically, they all have to get along and survive and find a way back home! Sounds like a pretty simple premise, right?

Well, that's only the tip of the iceberg. For as time goes on, the survivors realize that the island they've landed on isn't exactly normal. They discover the Others, who are a band of mysterious people who seemingly have lived on the island for years and are extremely hostile to the survivors. Then there's the fact that there are polar bears living on the island, as well as a terrible monster that kills anyone who comes in contact with it. There are also time-travelling bunnies, a strange organization called Dharma Initiative that may have been working with said bunnies (among other things), and a sequence of numbers, that will show up in the oddest places during the entire series. And yes, those numbers do mean something...

And I haven't even started to begin looking at the people. For, while the first rule of LOST is that WEIRD STUFF HAPPENS, the second is NO ONE IS WHAT THEY SEEM. Because every single survivor on the island have mysterious pasts that will be explored throughout the show in flashbacks, and what might seem like the kindest person in the world will be suddenly realized as having the worst possible past in the world, too. Basically, not only does the island have mysteries to solve anywhere you look, you also have the mystery of the people living on said island to solve, too.

Basically, LOST has everything you could want in a show. It has drama. It has action. It has love and romance and some of the most heartwarming relationships on television. It has death (yes, a lot of characters die, just to warn you). It has tragic moments. It has laugh-out-loud moments. It has moments that will make you sit in the corner of your room for days and wonder what life is and what it really means. It has good people. It has bad people. And boy, does it have every morally grey person in between. Basically, there is a reason why LOST became such a monumental event in television- it set the standard of what a television show should be. Instead of just focusing on a simple premise like "people crash on island, people band together to get off said island", it has so many layers that you will never see coming.

Basically, watch LOST. And I promise you, you won't be disappointed. Yes, all the mysteries might not be solved in the first season, and yes, there are too many moments that will make your head hurt, but at the same time, it's a brilliant show that everyone should have in their lives.

NOW GO AND WATCH IT OR I WILL THROW A HOT POCKET AT YOU
