sorry i'll be less annoyingly spammy about my rewatch as soon as we get out of s1 territory. theres just so much to say about these episodes even though i am actually just skimming
nat saying they "brought it back with them" when misty is the progenitor of the entire concept of "it" in her mind and by keeping her secret she ensured misty made it back with them.....
said it before and ill say it again. very interesting how misty only really starts crossing boundaries with ben after he breaks down and hits her in the face. note the past tense in "we needed you" into present tense "I'm here for you" ...
pondering. is misty the only main character we never see in water properly, outside of the sensory deprivation tank scene? I'd say Jackie also but she at least wades in and I don't think we even see that much from Misty. Initial thought is about a connection to "it" --
there's the obvious "every antler queen" has been submerged before they are crowned bit (baptism) but even beyond that water is very closely tied to "it" (Other Tai in the taivan bath scene)... misty has never believed and it never wanted her?
she's such a hypocrite i love her bad. and then there's nat getting really weirded out by the idea of misty talking to men. two of the weirdest most pathetic to ever do it
the baby tai flashback scenes are honestly some of my favorites for her I think they reveal sooo much about her insecurities and fears especially re: the Wilderness. specifically the amount of religious iconography connected to her fear of death... pondering

a very interesting taimisty clash that I think will be representative of their dynamic in both tl's next season
Misty wouldn’t but specifically because of the security risks. Walter would say “look I set up an ai agent to help manage my citizen detective work” and she’d call him stupid and an insult to the community
It’s so obvious even in s1 how *charmed* Nat is by Misty. Like she’s hallucinating her she’s staring at her she’s bringing her up unprompted every five minutes even though Misty barely acknowledges her. It’s not the transponder that makes her live in her head rent-free am I crazy

there is a lot of hype for them in the adult tl but i actually anticipate a dynamic here at play with them in the teen tl as well, both in the wilderness and back from it. in the wilderness she will be completely devoted (maybe) but once they are back the struggle between them +

Doodle before bed blehhhhh something something borrowed jacket bleehh #mistynat #yellowjackets
sorry i just think its so crazy that these shots of misty preparing to cauterize ben's leg are specifically shot over nat's shoulder making it look like *she* is watching misty. in this moment. about bonding over secrets. shortly before she breaks the black box.
something something the first act of violence in the wilderness being jackie leaving van for dead, something something s4 adult timeline's main hook being tai trying to kill shauna... is this anything
