MISTYNAT WEEK DAYS 4 & 5 — BED SHARING & MUTUAL PINING

both of these are based off of @wistfulwatcher's fic, "dust off those rusty strings" !!!

Natalie is rarely, if ever, needlessly cruel, but if you look at all of her relationships (Travis, Kevyn, the other Yellowjackets) she gets most verbally aggressive and mean when she starts to really care about them. she does this with Misty too, but Misty is the only one relentless enough to not be driven away by this defence mechanism. yeah Mistynat is dysfunctional, but I don’t interpret it as unrequited, (not that there’s anything wrong with canonically one sided ships) it’s dysfunctional from both sides. they’re janky ass puzzle pieces that fit together, two sides of the same fucked up coin, the immovable object (Nat’s repression) colliding with the unstoppable force (Misty’s desire to be needed).

thinking about it and natalie scatorccio really never caught a break in her life, huh? grew up poor in an abusive family and tried to kill her father to escape it only to fail and watch her father accidentally kill himself. plane crashed in the canadian wilderness and she had to eat her narrative foil/homoerotic frenemy to survive. and she was like “i wish i had died instead of you” and everyone else was like “good news, natalie! you get to die now! :)” and hunted her for sport the most dangerous game style. and then her boyfriend’s little brother who had previously been missing for months helped her escape but HE died in the process and you guessed it! she ate him! and everyone else’s logic is like “we didn’t succeed in killing you so now you get to be our leader” which btw natalie does NOT want but she does it anyways because the wilderness chose or whatever. and like ten minutes into this newfound leadership, the cabin that they’ve all been living in burns down (presumably due to the coach she befriended lighting it on fire). anyways they eventually get rescued and this poor girl becomes addicted to every substance under the sun. spends years miserable and in and out of rehab. her boyfriend dies and it seems like a suicide but turns out another homoerotic frenemy of hers accidentally killed him. and natalie decides that this is her sign to kill herself but the homoerotic frenemy previously mentioned kidnaps her and takes away her fun punk clothing and puts her in a purple dress. and she decides, for the first time in her life, that she doesn’t want to die and immediately gets killed by yet ANOTHER homoerotic frenemy only for it to be called a drug overdose. wtf are fans supposed to do with that arc?? what’s the message?? don’t have homoerotic frenemies? because that’s what i’m taking away from it

The lottienat v.s. mistynat battle that is happening on Twitter about which is a healthier ship choice for Nat is so funny to me because realistically a therapist would tell Nat to stay 1000 feet away from both those freaks
