im gonna kms
yellowjackets has slowly established that misty quigley is afraid of water.
she didn't swim in the lake with the others, she watched that rat in her pool— either watching it drown (perhaps not because she's "evil," but because she was unwilling to go in and save it) or watching it swim (and regarding it with a jealous curiosity, because she can't or won't ever do the same). she was even hesitant to get in the sensory deprivation tank, where we saw a brief panic before her "revelation." the only reason she got in at all was to stay at the compound, for nat.
this is not the first time this has happened, nor the most meaningful— when javi fell through the ice into the lake, and nat was at the edge, everyone was afraid to step forward, lest they fall in. but misty, who's terrified of water, leapt across it to save her. without hesitation. she didn't care about the risk, about it being her greatest fear.
because if it meant saving her, misty would swim across the ocean for natalie.
just realized misty did a whole speech about caligula being a little protective just for show but actually being a sweetheart despite still being a bit dangerous and SECONDS later nat is waiting for her in the dark with a gun.... the foreshadowing is insane
#need a fic about nat googling wtf is ylang ylang and being half scared half turned on
it’s so funny to me that misty gives nat an essential oil diffuser with ylang ylang and gardenia because they’re “very, very uplifting,” but fails to mention that they’re both aphrodisiacs traditionally used to enhance romance, desire, and intimacy.
mistynat art dump!
ive been trying to distract myself from what happened to van at this episode so heres my theory about what's happening next in the teen timeline:
we're finally heading to the point we knew was coming - the explanations of misty and natalies relationship, their partnership, why is misty so devoted to natalie and why natalie just lets her.
since we saw that she's currently the only one who knows misty has (and possibly broke) the transmitter while being one of the few people in the group that actually really wants to go back, i think natalies gonna be divided between the anger and the betrayal about what misty did but also hope about the fact that she may be able to fix it and they can finally go home after she almost lost all of her hopes when the bear guy died. also, i think nat must know that if she tells anyone about it they may kill misty AND not even try to fix the transmitter.
that said, i believe we're finally going to see more of their dynamic in ep10 + first episodes of season 4, where, together, both secretly try to fix what hannah broke and manage to call someone while the rest of the group is fighting and hunting - that's when the rescue actually comes. also, i do think maybe van and travis may find out about it (?) 😀
if nat and misty are able to actually get the rescue it would explain why tai feels so responsible for her and is always paying stuff for her.
this whole thing would also explain why misty is so loyal to nat and why she does have a soft spot for misty cause what if she kept that secret for 25 years ? anyways... #sendingtotheuniverse
