First off. Yes my blog is NSFW, but that is mostly just aesthetic. I am a nice guy and always try to love and respect everyone. Regardless of Race, Gender, Age, Sexual preference, Religion, Political affiliation, etc.
Silence may be Golden, but tolerance is what matters....And kindness seems to be a rare commodity these days.
It's perfectly ok if we have differing opinions. I will absolutely respect your opinion, as long as you respect mine as well.
I have spent a lifetime constructing what I consider to be the perfect moral compass. At Least perfect for my life. I conduct myself each day trying my best to adhere to the direction of that moral compass. I realize that my set of morals and ethics may not fit into everyone's lifestyle, and therefore I do my best not to be judgmental of others.
All of that being said....if you are a shitty person, and show no remorse about hurting others, you will quickly and ABSOLUTELY become an outcast in my world.
It really is that simple. Don't be an asshole and you and I will get along famously.

*two disclaimers: I normally hate making prediction posts, and I keep changing my mind about this one, so don't be surprised if I change it again before S4*
woke up thinking about this post from last fall. I know the OP was trying to make a slightly different point, but for me it serves as a reminder that Nat has historically been considered the "moral compass" of the show, while Lottie has... not.
in fact, I think the way S3 ends really drives home the point that Lottie has fallen to new depths of shall we say "corruption" (for lack of a better term), while Nat has risen to near hero status. this is represented by Lottie's time in the cave while Nat was climbing the mountain to call for rescue, but that's kind of been the contrast between them ever since Doomcoming.
btw, this is not to say that our fandom has not already recognized Nat's imperfections or debunked the "moral compass" allegations. in fact, no one has done this better or with more nuance and love than my moot, and I highly suggest checking out her gray morality post and her post about Nat's avoidance.
up until now, however, we've only ever seen her on the edge of violence. she had the knife at one point during Doomcoming, but she didn't use it. she threatened Jackie after Jackie made that comment about Nat being "mayor of poundtown," but she didn't follow through with it.
she also shoves Misty and cusses her out when she discovers the black box, but she quickly stops herself from harming her any further and even teams up with her (and Van) to use parts from it to fix the transponder.
there are many instances, in fact, in which Nat teeters on that edge of violence without going all the way there. let's also not forget that she initially came after Lottie with a tree branch when she first escaped at the compound.
and yet, I was reminded today that we already know she can and has gone over that edge. we just haven't seen her do it. we've only been told she has.
which brings me to the infamous mugshot photo...
when I first saw this, I assumed she'd been arrested for some petty crime— public intoxication, drug possession, or something of that sort.
but... isn't it possible (not certain, by any stretch, but possible) that we are going to see her completely fall from her position as "moral compass" in a really dramatic way?
I know that if I had a character like Nat, whom I had last placed in the position of "hero" (meaning, literally atop a mountain, calling for rescue)— and if I were writing a show that had "gray morality" as one of its central themes— I would be painfully tempted to knock her as far down as possible just to make a point.
in fact, I can almost hear Bart and Ashley in my head, saying, "oh, you thought she was a hero, huh?" while twirling their metaphorical mustaches.
I know, I know 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅
it's fine if you disagree.
and, like, I said... do not be surprised if I change my mind again before S4. this is definitely something I never feel very sure of, but... as a writer myself, I can't help but wonder.

While legal and religious factors have long guided our moral compass, our traditional code of right and wrong has also been informing individual conduct for a considerable amount of time. In oral tradition, particular behaviours deemed to be unacceptable are often followed by examples of what happens when this code is ignored. Among the prohibitions listed by Seán Ó Súilleabháin in A Handbook of Irish Folklore, there are objections to interfering with holy people or places, keeping late hours, using forbidden speech, as well interfering with the natural world. Disrespect for the natural world, including the desecration of wells and particular trees, and interference with particular animals, may result in unfortunate outcomes for those who do not abide by this popular belief.
Wells in Irish folklore are often spoken of as though they are sentient beings, who will move or dry up if they are abused or offended. Washing your clothes in them, misbehaving near them, removing the fish from them, or trying to fill them in are causes for the well to dry up and move places, appearing elsewhere and making a statement to those who use the well to be careful with their actions, for the well is in control: what it provides, it may also take away.
