pollen dust and pastels: the village
this post will be the main source of info regarding the basics of my yellowjackets agere/petre series pollen dust and pastels! it will be updated as more additions are made to the lore, but please feel free to send asks/requests at any time!
the basics
in this au, the outcome of the crash was different, and the only survivors are the named yellowjackets(including rachel & robin). also my goat coach ben! instead of the horrible nightmare we all know and love, they managed to set up a lovely primitive lesbian eco-village(and the cabin doesn't exist probably idk) :)
the garden(s)
the team's garden is more of a hodge-podge than an organized site. it's filled with the plant life that they know is edible and filling, with some areas set aside for experimentation with new crops! it's not nearly enough to feed them all on it's own, but it helps take pressure off of the hunters and gatherers.
the storeroom
built half into a hill for cooling/stability, the storeroom is where the team keeps their few non-perishables, along with smoked meats and other long-lasting foods. really, anything that they can store in bulk that belongs to the group at large is kept there.
the "dining room"
coined by little!jackie, the dining room is really two dozen or so logs strewn about around their firepit and cook site. The team eats together as often as they can, and do so outdoors whenever the weather allows it. they eat with a mixture of some pots and silverware they found at an abandoned camp, carved utensils/plates, and their hands of course :)
housing arrangements
like i said, they live in a little village, so there are various structures that house different yellowjackets. for more detailed information on that and what everyone's role in their little community is, please stay tuned for my next posts all about it!
