I think we need to hear and see a bit more stuffed moaning and groaning while you’re at your highest ballooning, don’t you agree?

Is this what you want? 🥴

read that scarian DL doc anon linked and felt weird about how unable to sympathize with scar it was. sorry for making this your problem and you're welcome to ignore this ask if you like ❤️ this is not to say DL!scar treated grian well, but he did definitely want to! he tried! he wanted grian to be happy with him. he was simply really bad at it and his sustained failures made him miserable and bitter.

(as for the failures, i think he believed they were Inevitable, because he does die often, and he is distractible, and he does misunderstand things. and he didn't even have the enchanter or anything to offer in exchange for being troublesome. the one thing he did have - the pandas - grian didn't like. reasonable from grian's end!! but. it feels kinda like a grand metaphor for grian being displeased with scar's whole self from scar's pov. the pandas and scar are the same, to scar, or maybe more exactly, to scar's insecurities. the point is: he doesn't particularly want to be seen as troublesome to begin with, but since he is, why /would/ grian want him? and even if he did - scar's willing to cautiously accept this - surely it won't last. he'll get sick of scar.)

& anyway, eventually scar seems to decide grian's impossible to please and so it's Not His Fault. in fact it might be grian's fault. grian is the one who wanted someone else and who did dangerous things while telling scar to avoid them, after all. that's not On Scar. it's easier that way.

except that grian, of course, wanted him anyway. despite himself, maybe. but scar just never manages to trust it?? he kept trying to find something he could do to make himself wantable and take care of grian too, as if in return, and. couldn't find anything, while grian got more and more unhappy. because. in practice all this amounted to scar running away and ignoring him and actively taking away the one thing grian thought would make it worthwhile - scar's company and positive attention!

tldr dl!scar cares for real it's just the pinnacle of his commitment issues. they make me sad lol

I REALLY REALLY LIKE HOW YOU PUT IT HERE. YEAH. YEAH. MAYBE YOU DO UNDERSTAND!!!!! this is really really good thank you anon

i too felt like the doc didn't give scar much grace, but it's understandable given it was a wip. i think one of the keys about it is that after all grian understands scar much, much better than any of us do. he did know that scar hadn't really heard him in the ravine, and he knows that scar usually, much less so early in the season, harbors no ill intent, again even less so towards grian

and i think you really really nailed it there. scar knows grian sees him as a liability of sorts, as a chore. so he tried to make himself useful and in turn he ended up staying away from grian. augh you super nailed it. the one thing grian thought would make it worthwhile. because after all he does sincerely like scar anyways!!!! you really really got it thank you anon

I'd love to hear what 'teen comedy' flicks you'd pick for each Yellowjacket. Really what fits their vibe!

Great question!! Buckle up.

(There are some that I can think of multiple movies for each one, but I’m just sticking to one for each. If anyone has other suggestions I’d love to hear it!)

Misty - Never Been Kissed | Josie Grossie as played by Drew? This is such a Misty movie.

Tai - Love & Basketball | This taps into Tai’s competitive nature so much. There are others that remind me of her but I wanted to stick to a film with black leads.

Nat - The Outsiders | Oh, how I loved this book and movie. Rough around the edges with a lot of heart. Rebel Without a Cause is another I’d pick.

Shauna - Heathers | This was a hard pick! I settled on it because Shauna reminds me of Veronica in many ways. So smart and aware of social dynamics while also clinging to them. If people have better suggestions I’m all for hearing it.

Lottie - Donnie Darko | Not a comedy per se, but the struggles Donnie faces are very similar to Lottie. I’d also pick the Craft. Open to suggestions for Lottie.

Jackie - Clueless | Miss Queen Bee with a heart of gold is so very Cher Horowitz. There’s a lot of movies that fit Jackie though.

Travis - Stand By Me | Oh, how I love this movie and how it explores masculinity. This is the perfect amount of tenderness that makes me think of Travis.

Van - Ferris Bueller’s Day Off | Surprisingly I struggled with Van! A lot of movies fit my cinephile blorbo. But Ferris has Van’s approach to life and school pretty well. And he’s kind of an ass, like Van 😆.

Akilah - Now & Then | Akilah was hard to place! I think the fact that she’s really loyal and floats among friend groups lends itself to this movie, I also like making parallels to Travis and this movie is a great double feature with Stand By Me.

Mari - Bring It On | It’s witty, it’s sporty, it’s campy. It’s Mari! She’s also very SoCal to me.

Laura Lee - A Walk To Remember | Also not a comedy but she’d love this movie. Every churchy girl I knew loved this movie. It was tied between this and Saved! but I think LL wouldn’t enjoy the negative light of Christianity in that movie. Either way, my girl is riding for Mandy Moore.

Mel - Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure | Mel loves an adventure movie (Princess Bride) and is kind of a himbo with an earnestness. She’d love this. This movie is very VanHat.

Coach Ben - Dead Poet’s Society | I’d like to think Ben had a really important mentor in his high school days that inspired him to want to be a coach.

Gen - Bend It Like Beckham | This is the most Genlissa movie in the world. She’d love it.

Javi - Neverending Story | Not a teen movie but Javi IS Atreyu and I won’t be convinced otherwise.

Question for Sun:

Would you say you are a nonchalant baddie? WITH rizz? Or are you a not nonchalant and have 0 rizz?

Uh.. baddie? Pardon? I..okay?

I do have ritz crackers though. Pretty good with cheese..anyways-

Im not that nonchalant, so I guess i have 0 rizz..? Whatever that means.

No. If I ever were to show it, I'd rather it'd be to the misfits. Lord Iruma, specifically.
