disclaimer: y'all know i love the bandits, plus i like the idea that even tho the coast would be part of the sticks demons don't go there much bc 1) we know they don't like salt and 2) it's my belief they don't like running water (so the chapel is kinda safe that way - before we get hasty nopefish had like. a pool. not running water. thank u) so i think that there are more settlements there since it's safer + yk you can fish and whatnot. okay this got long bc i love talking abt my shiloh lore but on with the post !!!

sawyer doesn't like the water. or the sand really. or the sun. he just kinda sits on a towel under a parasol and just watches everyone else have fun and he's content. sometimes syd and ollie convince him to step into the water but that man is NOT going past his knees. he likes fishing, well, the sitting and waiting part of fishing, so he's in charge of keeping an eye on the fishing rods they cast so they can get some food for the chapel

dusty likes to sunbathe, but she gets into the water too sometimes - ollie tries to dunk her under the water, he obviously fails and pays a very hard price because she WILL hold him under the water in retaliation

syd likes jumping over waves and prefers to stay on the shore where the waves break, unless there are bigger waves more into the water then you bet she's in there. it gives sawyer a heart attack every time her head doesn't show up for a while from the water

ollie gets sunburnt. every time. he always ends up as red as a lobster. also he doesn't use sunscreen so. his fault ig

shane likes to lie in the sun like a gecko. do not bother him. he has a pair of stylish sunglasses he stole at some point and WILL wear them in the water (once ollie managed to push him into the water and the glasses fell off. shane made EVERYONE look around for them. syd found them)

sawyer enjoys walking up and down the coast with his feet in the water if it's not too hot, and ollie sometimes keeps him company. but going with ollie means him splashing sawyer with his feet, so

they get competitive building sandcastles. first syd and ollie start out, mainly playing, but they rope shane into it and believe me he makes everything into a competition. syd is also rather fiercely competitive. the judges are sawyer (who really doesn't give a fuck and he'll say ollie's is the best just to piss off shane) whereas dusty gets really enthusiastic about it. she has a points system

any activity turns into a competition, really. racing into the water, playing beach tennis or volleyball, swimming far into the ocean... dusty isn't as fun to play with because she's more chill about it, not caring if she wins or loses. same goes for sawyer. but shane and syd will have a screaming match over the smallest thing, and ollie finds it entertaining to egg them on

if there are rocks and stuff ollie likes swimming around and looking at the fish and crabs with goggles. he looks silly with them on

ollie likes showing syd tricks, like handstands and cartwheels, but he's not the best at them. dusty's freakishly flexible as well as she is strong, and is the one to actually show them how it's done

you best bet when they get back shane makes EVERYONE dip into the lake and get the sand off of them because he does NOT want anyone tracking sand into the chapel. no, sir

mmmm... im just gonna leave this here... but rest assured i'm going feral behind the screen

this might be one of the clearest shots of the rosette in the bandits' chapel? idk why the image won't get bigger but anyways
