Everything
Home is where the hurt is: Part 1
Aftermath drabble between the last chapter and the epilogue.
-
After a few days in hospital, recovering and getting his wounds treated, Jay was allowed to go home. There was nothing more they could do for him there; he just mostly needed rest and time to heal up. Physically… mentally. And someone to help him clean his bandages, which was a bit of a stressor to say the least, as he certainly didn’t want people to see the cuts and lashes (and older injuries) crossing his back.
Laura stayed over to help him out, but he wasn’t going to ask. Maybe he could do it by himself. He’d always managed so far to stave off infection. And in the worst case, he could ask Dennis… Luckily for now, Laura dismissed it as a ‘stupid man thing’.
But unfortunately, he couldn’t always keep things hidden.
“Are you asleep?”
“No,” Jay mumbled, eyes still closed. He was exhausted and really did want to sleep, but there was an uncommon hint of hesitation and tension in his sister’s voice that made him open his eyes and look up.
Laura stood next to his bed, uncharacteristically fidgety, and she was holding up a newspaper.
“Did you… have you seen this?”
“A newspaper.” Not his. Not a very good one. More gossipy. Liberal with the truth. Or a truth obtained in liberal ways.
She handed him the folded paper.
His eyes widened and he sat up as he saw the article her finger pointed to.
Gordon Emery faces trial for abduction and torture.
Even though the article and headline were small, it still screamed into Jay’s face and he paled as he read on.
... where two men were rushed to hospital. Both were severely injured and were visibly bruised and bleeding. Like Emery himself, who had to have a police bullet removed, one of the men had been shot. If battery and gunshot wounds weren’t enough, the CEO will have to explain why the other man carried visible and fresh whip marks on his back. He was identified as a reporter working for the —Jay stopped reading at this.
“Have mum and dad seen this?” he whispered.
“Not yet. I think.”
A small relief. Jay let his arm fall back down with a sigh, let the newspaper fall apart and scatter to the floor. But his co-workers probably had, with their daily tendency to scour every piece of print there was just to be sure they didn’t miss anything. Jay-related or just general news related.
He caught Laura staring at him, eyes practically pleading for an answer and he couldn’t keep ignoring it.
“I didn’t think you’d go for this type of gutter press,” he tried to deflect. “Why did you even pick this up?”
Wrong choice.
“I have to resort to scavenging about shifty news articles for scraps of information, because my own fucking brother refuses to tell us anything!”
“Well now you can see why!”
“So this is true?!”
Fuck.
He didn’t answer. Just closed his eyes and looked away when he opened them again.
“You have a Canadian accent now,” he muttered.
“Don’t you fucking change the—“
“Didn’t have that last time.”
“Jay!”
The choked off vowels as she said (or well, nearly spat) about didn’t escape him.
He’d heard it over the phone before, of course, but somehow now seeing his sister actually standing next to him again – pissed (concerned) and in different circumstances than he’d have liked – reality hit him that they hadn’t seen each other for quite some time now. And not just that, if she still lived somewhere closer they still would’ve kept up over the phone, but she was on an actual different fucking continent. It had been quite convenient that she wasn’t around when he was at the lowest point in his life but now it also really hit him that he had missed his sister and even though he didn’t want to admit it, really needed her. Had really needed her.
He looked into her furious yet intensely concerned eyes, already knowing he wasn’t going to win this staring contest or this stand-off, so he cast his eyes down and gave in. “He wanted to know where Dennis was. Wanted me to sell him out.”
He. Emery. Amazing how he didn’t refer to Zayne anymore…
“And you didn’t know…?”
“I refused to tell him.”
“Jesus fucking Christ,” Laura turned away from the bed but snapped back in an instant and actually stamped her foot. “You are so fucking stubborn!”
“Look who’s talking!”
“I’m not the one practically asking some psycho for a—!“
“I couldn’t tell him! Dennis was our only lifeline out of there. He was the only one who knew we were taken and if I’d given him up Emery would have killed us all!”
That made them both fall silent in an instant. Though Jay had to admit, for the past months he had been practically ‘asking’ some other psycho to keep beating on him through his stubbornness.
Laura made a small sound as if she wanted to carry on the argument, but cut herself off.
Instead, she sat next to him on the bed. Her hand hovered above his back, but her fingertips twitched and she pulled back.
“What happened?” she asked, again like that first day they visited in hospital, but this time almost in a whisper, almost pleading. But when he remained silent, that softness from her voice instantly fell away and while still in a whisper, she snarled: “I will buy every fucking newspaper from every little rat print in the city and I will draw my own conclusions on what—“
“Okay, okay! Fine!”
He caught himself before he rolled onto his back in exasperation.
Honestly, he wondered, not for the first time, why he even bothered arguing with Laura. She always won. She was ruthless. And Jay could only hold out by sheer pettiness against her onslaught of—
Whoa. A little lightbulb of epiphany lit up. Was this what he had been doing with Zayne? After a lifetime of unwinnable battles, he’d crossed over from childhood feuds into a territory of actual physical fights carrying the same childish strategy that had always worked for him. Knowing he couldn’t win anyway, he could at least cling to a stubbornness to make it as difficult for Zayne as he could. And to fool himself into thinking he stood on a more equal level in the fight.
He’d have to contemplate this nature v nurture debacle another time, because his silence made Laura gear up for another round.
“I’m not going to tell it twice,” he muttered, still petty in defeat. “Wait ‘til mum and dad are here.”
Laura made a grumbling impatient growl in her throat as she exhaled, threw him an annoyed glance, but settled and threw herself in the chair next to his bed instead. Lawyers knew when to settle. Didn’t mean she was going to wait it out, though; she took matters in her own hands and pulled out her phone to text their parents to come over. Faster.
“What about Dennis?” she asked with a pissed side-glance to Jay, hands still on her phone.
“He knows,” Jay just said.
“About this? The—”
“Everything.” Well, mostly everything. Everything he was going to share. For now.
That made Laura look up from her phone and she tilted her head slightly towards him.
While her eyes were concerned, the sudden attention made him uneasy. Wrong answer. It implied there was so much more. And so now he was going to have to tell everything. Well, he probably should. Before Zayne would gladly recount all their stories in candid splendour over a series of columns with the help of some— No. It was time to be honest. However hard that was going to be.
“Good,” Laura muttered, and she pressed send. “Then I can always double-check with him.”
Jay gave a wry smile. Really was time to be honest.
Best that they all hear it from him. Everything. Also, best to spare Dennis from Laura cornering and grilling him.
“Help me up, will you.” He didn’t want to stay in bed. Not to tell all this. He could usually manage when he was alone – which wasn’t often now that Laura stayed over and Dennis visited about every waking hour – but his strength was still sapped and it was easier to have a little help. If the past few months had taught him anything, it was to ask for help.
Laura gave him a hand, pulled him up and let him lean on her as she scooted him towards the living room. Jay could tell she was still annoyed, but her touches were lighter than before and with her new knowledge, she really seemed to treat him as if he were made of glass.
Before she lowered him onto the couch, where he could lean on the armrest against a stack of pillows, she pulled at his shirt.
“Can I…?”
“There’s nothing to see,” Jay grumbled, but he let her lift his shirt. And true, all she could see was his back covered in white, all bandages, padded for extra comfort and protection. He barely felt it when she lightly ran a finger over the padded cotton. Also a courtesy of the morphine, but some deeper wounds were still very sensitive.
The bruises on his abdomen did stand out and spread from his side to his stomach. And before she could turn him to see the scars or swollen blue area over his broken ribs, he slid a hand over hers to slowly pull his shirt down again.
“I thought…” she swallowed hard, “I thought, or maybe I hoped, your back was just… bruised up. You know, from the struggle. Not… not deliberately—” she cut off.
Deliberately carved to shreds to inflict as much pain as possible, yeah. “I was happy to let you think so,” Jay admitted.
“What about these?” Her eyes fell on the scars and pink cuts crossing his forearm as she held his arm to lower him down. Jay suddenly realised that this was the first time in six months that he’d actually worn short sleeves around people (well, except Zayne).
“I’ll tell you in a bit.” His stomach started churning. He was so nervous, scared, having to reveal all this.
“And this?” A finger hooked under the neck of his shirt, further revealing the white dots crossing from his clavicle to his shoulder, the little scars peeking out from under his shirt collar.
“I— That’s…. Those are old, they—“ he swallowed, now chastising himself for never revealing what happened in the warehouse two years ago.
Everything? Was he really going to tell everything? He hesitated. Should he go back that far? If he wanted to be honest and spare his family the things that were going to be brought up in a court case, maybe the power tool trauma could be… left out?
A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts and instantly caused the chaos swirling around in his stomach to expand. He almost felt nauseous as he heard Laura get the door, heard the soft voices of his parents.
His mother shuffled inside, white as a sheet, clutching that same goddamn newspaper Laura had brought in, and asked in a shaky voice: “Is this… is this true?”
Jay squeezed his eyes closed and took a deep breath.
“I’ll tell you what happened.”

mistylottie is SO fascinating to me i want to study them
LITERALLY. guys this is so serious im so close to opening a word doc like...........ive talked abt this with @lottieurl and i know @lesbianlotties also was talking to her abt it but. like. idk in my head they shouldnt work but they do??? (if u look deep into their dynamic and as characters) just in the sense that both of these women to some extent miss the authentic selves that they were in the wilderness, even if excruciatingly traumatic; they both cant separate or part with the grief and their roles as teenagers manifest deeply into their adulthood (misty is a literal nurse. lottie opens a wellness centre and becomes a cult leader) so they already have that foundation of being stuck in that formative experience that shaped them so deeply. and i think the friction they first feel at lotties cult as they reunite, can be taken as lottie seeing misty as the one who kept really enforcing lotties 'leader' role on her and is slightly resentful (re their scene in the attic concerning the hunt "dont go making us feel bad now" etc) but in my mind you can see that friction as just lottie being confronted with one of the rare people in her life from the wilderness that never truly saw her as this all knowing seer, never fully believed in the power of the wilderness or 'it' or even lotties power. hear me out.
misty has always been the one who tentatively goes with the prophet talk and just nods along to all the hunting and ritualistic talk but she never truly believed in it, she pragmatically saw that everyone just needed something to hold onto, and someone to look up to. so i think the simple act of lottie feeling so much on her shoulders all the time then having misty be one of the few who doesnt see her as some god, but as a person, is somewhat refreshing to lottie, ESPECIALLY once she hands over the leader role to nat. and so you think of their adult selves with this knowledge and fundamentally understand that lotties shock at seeing misty at her compound is a genuine realisation that if misty is here then is this truly all real? if misty is here, she mustn't be insane. and then they are all so, SO genuinely worried for lotties wellbeing and mental state and its so fascinating that up until now misty has been antagonistic and cold towards lottie, so call me delusional WHATEVER but you're then shown misty being confronted with the serious reality of lotties breakdown and murder suicide idea and mistys hackles raise. its like she reverts to her caretaker role and shes looking after a beaten and bruised lottie in the attic of an old shack. misty is immediately worried, jumps on the bandwagon to get lottie serious medical help, and when shes shot misty is the one by her side and treating lottie as a person, not some invincible god. its like. oh they are so interesting. oh there could be so much there. and i havent even TOUCHED on the shared grief they can bond over in s3 over nat. the shared grief as teenagers over crystal and laura lee. the understanding that as adults they have both lost so much. like can u hear me. do you get it. lottie pressed her hand to mistys chest during the birth and misty the nonbeliever calmed down, breathed deep, not bc lottie has powers, but bc shes lottie. insane. @ s3 dive into this its so fascinating to me

So uhh… Haunted Mansion Oc!!
(Me and my friend @olainewashere had come up with a concept of the oc and she colored while it thought up of ideas, hope she’s alright with it!
So Emilia Holloway!
She’s the granddaughter of Silas “Zeke” Holloway, the caretaker of the Haunted Mansion. She had loving parents, James (who is Zeke’s son) and Laura, but they perished in a horrible car accident, leading her life into the orphanage.
Her grandpa promised her that he would enough money to adopt her (yet who knows what his salary is 💀, tho his heart is in the right place), but later she makes an escape, to which lead her to the Haunted Mansion.
She did encounter robbers who tried to mug her for her money, but Hattie came and scared them off. When he did ask her about why did she came to the mansion, she said it was to escape and find her grandpa, to which Hattie luckily knows and leads her to Zeke.
Zeke meanwhile is surprised that Emi escaped, he is glad that she is now safe and sound. But he also worries about the orphanage coming to find her (as the orphanage is literally horrible). Luckily, the ghosts can keep her safe as well, for they sympathized with her and her grandpa’s struggle and let her be an assistant for the mansion.
And so… she now lives in the mansion, helping her grandpa with caretaking while also socializing with other 999 residents of the mansion!
Oh, this is her original design by @olainewashere , go check her out!!

hiiii here are some drawings for a Yellowjackets/The Shining AU. Basically just YJ characters in outfits from The Shining / stills from The Shining (+ the symbol in lieu of “redrum”). There’s a lot more I wanted to do with this - maybe when I have more time I can draw the rest of the characters?? I have ideas for Tai and Laura Lee and Van and Misty…
anyway here’s my thoughts on what the story would be like:
(also note that I read the book more recently than i’ve seen the movie but the two have kinda blended together in my head)
So Lottie has similar abilities to Danny in The Shining. premonitions, etc. she “shines”
Tai (and maybe Laura Lee?) also has supernatural abilities. I say maybe Laura Lee bc in The Shining, Danny’s mentor also “shines”. Laura Lee is definitely a bit of a mentor to Lottie… but Laura Lee would have a Catholic™️ explanation for Lottie’s abilities
Tai would repress her abilities the most, being as rational as she is
I think Shauna is the most like Jack in The Shining (but not really bc that's such an insult to her)… I can see how the hotel’s evil vibes would impact her the most because she holds on to a lot of resentment
ok, so how did the girlies end up at the Overlook hotel?
Like Danny, Lottie had an imaginary friend as a child (who turns out to be her adult self, just like Danny's friend "Tony" is actually adult Danny). Recently, she's been seeing this "imaginary" friend again in her dreams, and seeing a strange symbol... (I really gotta draw this so I can draw Simone Kessell as a cool vision)
I was thinking that during the Nationals qualifying game, Lottie has a bad feeling about what would happen should they go to Nationals... so she interferes and stops Jackie from scoring (I guess she'd be close enough to block the shot)
Everyone is mad at Lottie, and her rich ass dad decides to fund a training trip for the team to make it up to the school/team. He gets a good deal to send the team to the Overlook hotel for a week during the beginning of the time period where the hotel is typically closed to guests (the hotel would have to have a good soccer field in this AU, but also bc its up in the mountains they could do altitude training there).
The coaches would have to tend to the boiler room / perform Jack's caretaking duties from The Shining while they're staying there. I think Shauna would help out, and she'd find the scrapbook documenting the hotel's murderous history. As a journal girl herself, she'd be interested in the scrapbook and the hotel's history (like Jack, that's how she'd get corrupted by the evil hotel).
I could see Van also taking an interest in the hotel's history, because she loves a good story. She'd drag Taissa around the hotel to explore and try to uncover its history.
Of course, the snow storm from The Shining would come early, unexpectedly trapping them all at the hotel. Shining shenanigans ensue, etc.
Like Jack, Misty would sabotage their attempts to escape the hotel bc she's having so much fun with the girls... she'd dump the fuel to the snowmobile, etc.

Hi! Can I request some hcs on what the counselors love languages are? Doesn’t have to be super detailed. If you don’t want to do all of them just pick your favorites, thank you! <3
I was initially going to do a separate post for all the boys and girls but I’m fucking sick again so I chose the ones I was most confident in. I’m only doing one for each cause otherwise I’d run out of ideas, even if I do think certain characters have more than one
————————————
Laura:
Expressing: acts of service
Laura likes to make your life easier, one way to do that is by doing little jobs for you whenever she has the time. It can be something as small as giving you a glass of water or even going to the grocery store if you run out of time. Helping you makes her feel good, knowing she’s either lightened your load or noticed something she knows you like done she’s happy to do it to make you happy.
Receiving: physical touch
Laura adores light touches here and there, they help ground her and keep her steady. She likes to cuddle at the end of a long day. Either holding you or vice versa is like a balm to her soul. Resting her head on your chest is a big must, she enjoys hearing the heart beat knowing your safe and alive.
Ryan
Expressing: Quality time
It never really occurs to Ryan to voice his thoughts out loud and he’s not as physical as any of the others which leads me to quality time. Whether your listening to a podcast, cleaning your apartment or watching a movie together Ryan doesn’t care as long as he’s with you. You don’t even have to be doing something together, just being near him is enough sometimes, knowing that of everything you could be doing you choose to be with him instead.
Receiving: acts of service
Ryan has always been a caretaker so when you start to take care of him he gets all warm and gooey. You memorise the way he likes things and start doing them for him. Whether it’s a chore or a coffee order. Having someone to lighten that load and willingly go out of their way to do things just for him is how Ryan knows you really love him.
Jacob
Expressing: physical touch
Jacob is the most physically affectionate by far, not just when it comes to hugs and kisses. He likes to have you tucked into his side, to hold your hand or have you lean against him when your in public. Just feeling you against him especially in non sexual scenarios helps ground him, it reminds him that you’re there and that your comfortable in your love for him.
Receiving: quality time
The fact that you would want to go out of your way to be in his presence sometimes leaves him all giddy. He likes to be constantly around you even if the two of you arent really doing anything. He gets insecure a lot when you aren’t around so even your silent companionship does a lot to help ease those nerves
Max
Expressing: words of affirmation
Max is a very verbally supportive person, his love for you is always on the top of his tongue. Pet names, reassurances and constant I love you’s flow from his lips at all times. Expressing those feelings verbally comes very naturally and easily for him. You’re so great and wonderful after all why wouldn’t he tell you as much as possible?
Receiving: gift giving
Max likes to receive things from you, not just expensive things or even things that necessarily pay money. He likes it whenever you pick him up a small trinket from somewhere or make him something. He gets all warm and fuzzy at the thought of you seeing something and immediately thinking of him or making him something that he expresses desire in even once.

For the 🦈SirenSong!AU, the reader is going to be related to Logan/Wolverine (35 people voted, majority chose him in the poll, so this is the route we're taking!). The reader will likely be a deep sea siren like him, Laura, and Victor, but could also be part open ocean or reef siren... maybe the reader is more reef or open ocean siren than they are deep sea... or mayhaps they are fully presenting as one of the other two instead of the deep sea type! Imagine what you will, but I might explore (or make canon) one of these ideas in the future.
As for their color scheme, it is probably similar to Logan, Laura, and Victor as well. Something sunny, warm, or warm-toned neutrals... similar to a piece of bumblebee jasper, fire agate, amber, tiger's eye, cat's eye, or other similar warm-toned patterned and shaded gemstone, with bits of brown and black involved. Their scales and fins though... that I plan to make a poll for, one each, so until those are done, I'll leave it vague what their fin and scale types are.
The reader is a mixed bag of feelings and experiences, due to being caught in a siren pup trafficking ring when they were younger, experimented on for a short time, and then raised by a kindly human once they escaped... they don't remember much about the ocean or coastal towns and cities, nothing but vague impressions and certain key things. They do have things they like and dislike, and have unresolved traumatic issues pertaining to the ordeals they went through, and losing their human caretaker recently before the present story...
Some of the things they like are:
• Pearls (any color, shape, or size; they vaguely remember playing with them, but can't remember when; they like the smooth, cool texture to them, too)
• Shrimp (tasty and simple; ate them with the shells on, until they found out you aren't supposed to do that, ever)
• Fluffy Blankets
• Cats
• Crabs (cute AND tasty!)
• Otters (fluffy noodles)
• Seals (cute and fat)
• Octopi (cute; prefer not to eat them, due to their intelligence)
• Jewelry (gold, silver, string, pearl, gem, glass, it doesn't matter: if it is shiny, sparkly, or dangles, they want to collect it)
• Books (Shakespeare, Ivanhoe, Aesop's Fables, or even some children's books like the Narnia series, Goodnight Moon, or Winnie The Pooh... much knowledge and wisdom and whimsy can be found in all of those, and the reader loves them all)
• Classical Music (they adore hearing instruments like the harp, the drums, or the cello)
• Odd Stuffed Animals (the animals that aren't regularly made into plushies, like fish, squid and octopi, caterpillars, foods, etc.)
• Hugs (they crave affection, but don't have friends or family to receive them from or to give it to)
And some things they dislike are:
• Most Humans (they fear them, and have mostly dealt with the more wicked, shady sort; they try to avoid being near them for too long, in fear of them discovering they are a siren)
• Other Sirens (they fear the other sirens hating them or seeing them as defective, due to being so out of touch with their own species and for being caught by humans; but they haven't met another siren since they escaped the humans who caught them)
• Loud Noises
• Bright Lights
• Babies (due to the drool, vomit, and excretions that come out, not to mention their wailing)
• Hot Weather
• Open Ocean (they don't know how to survive on their own in the ocean, and they haven't been to the sea since before they can remember... and the wide, empty waters make them feel lonely)
• Sea Snakes (venomous and can swim, they are a childhood fear of their's)
• Scorpions
• Large Empty Spaces (small empty spaces don't bother them, but too large of a room and only them to fill it makes them feel lost and paranoid)
The reader is someone who feels awkward, doesn't always understand social cues, and tries to be kind (if a bit secretive) to others. They want to be good, and they want friends and family and the love they provide, but they are on their own, now that their only caretaker, the human who raised them, has passed on... So the reader heads into the coastal city, where they know sirens are in charge and they have a better chance at not being found out. They can't risk anyone coming after them or discovering what they are. They won't risk being caught again, they can't bear the thought of having to go through that sort of torture, that type of pain, again. If only the knew that sirens are very caring, especially towards their own... and with the reader being a pup... once the sirens discover that, they aren't ever leaving their new bby on their own with no protection, no pod, no parents or siblings or family... And Logan/Wolverine is certainly going to be emotional when he sees his lost pup again, and he sure as h*ll won't be letting them go, not without a fight... not after losing them all those years ago...

OVERVIEW.
-- First born child to a mother who probably should never have been a mother, something Nina Nolan would admit herself if she could ever be tied down long enough for an honest conversation on that.
-- Atlas had to practically raise himself and his sister from a young age. Though their mother was technically present, she had spells of going missing for days on and leaving them alone in various motel rooms in Orlando that they called him until having to move on to the next one.
-- Despite the nurturing skills she lacked, his mother was the type who loved a party and was always one of the last ones left shutting the bar down, something that's rubbed off on Atlas.
-- It was an expectation that both he and his sister had to pitch in whenever they could to keep a roof over their heads (and their mother's bad habits funded) which is how Atlas started to shoplift at a young age. Small things at first because he was scared of getting caught, but he gradually grew bolder and bolder about the things he would lift.
-- He has numerous arrests and past charges as a minor and as an adult for theft.
-- Education was never made much of a priority, and it was rare for him to actually attend a full month of school consecutively. Due to this, Atlas never finished high school. After ending up in the system as a pre-teen once child services intervened after another of Nina's vanishing acts, the constant moves heightened the disinterest he had already had about learning as a kid and by sixteen he had dropped out altogether.
-- He made a pact with his sister before they were separated and placed in different homes that when they both turned eighteen they would meet up in Washington and reunite.
-- He first first landed in a trailer park outside of town when he arrived to Starlight Oaks, staying in a trailer there before eventually being able to move into a house on Celestial Drive that's needed the same set of repairs since he first moved in seven years ago (they're still to be done).
-- He's worked various jobs to keep himself afloat, a lot of which have ended up in him being fired for poor attendance or bad behaviour.
-- Loves to throw loud and raucous house parties at his, which has gotten him into trouble with some of his neighbors over the years.
-- Currently, he's passing his time as an attendant at the Arcade. It's his longest steady employment to date (8 months as of Jan. 2024)
SORTA FUN FACTS.
His desire to move to Washington was due to a postcard he received as a child from his 'dad'. It depicted Washington on the front and on the back it just said 'I'm proud of you son - Dad'. He received it when he was six after it was slipped under the door of the motel he was staying in in Orlando. He has no idea currently that the postcard wasn't from his father but rather the motel's caretaker, Jack, who felt bad for how often the young boy would talk about the dad he had never met.
For the longest time he thought At Last by Etta James was actually a song called Atlas. To this day, if it plays on the radio he still sings Atlas instead.
His karaoke song of choice is Gloria by Laura Branigan. It's his mom's favorite song and one of the few he knows all the words to.
Has various tattoos on his body, half of which are from when he was drunk and let someone draw on him at one of his house parties before getting it yatted permanently.
Is wary of wealthy people.
He's never been on an airplane in his life.
Has never been to Disney World despite spending the first 11 years of his life in close proximity to it.
CURRENT CONNECTIONS.
close friend / other half of a whole moron of @sunbcthe
constantly shot down by @sasikamatthews
arcade idiots / friend of @kaiisms
one time air-hockey nemesis turned unlikely besties with @miikcs
getting to know / will be positively influenced by @cosmicallyhadlee
party aquaintances with @rosesraleigh
SPECIFIC WANTED CONNECTIONS.
ppl who attend his messy houseparties KJHGSH doesn't have to be just celestial drive residents! pretty much an open door policy at casa del nolan.
co-workers at the arcade!!
wealthy ppl who kill time there that he can side-eye 👀
friends / ride or dies
frenemies/friends who only fuck with each other when they're drunk and/or partying but on a normal day its like nah fuck you KJSHGH
neighbors from celestial drive (can be positive or negative!)
someone he's in a toxic situationship with (always fighting and falling out then rekindling and can never figure out what they are so its just a messy cycle) plotting required!
connects he knows through his sister
former co-workers / former bosses (he's def bounced around a ton of minimum wage jobs while in SO so timeline is fluid and can be figured out!)
people who he's shoplifted stuff for (if he thinks he can get it and get away with it, he'll lift something by request and sell it to the person for half the price)
people he's gotten into fights with (he can be hotheaded and doesn't think things through when he's drinking)
ppl he gets high with (pretty game for anything but rarely goes harder than coke)
someone with their life together who can take him under their wing a little and help him figure out a path that isn't just him spinning out day in and day out
hookups, fwb, usual jazz.
GENERIC WANTED CONNECTIONS.
connections wise he’s pretty much an open book right now, but some baseline ideas that can be springboarded off are:
friendly.
a best friend / ride or dies / close friends / childhood friends from florida / pseudo-siblings / friends / drunk friends / positive influences / new friends / people who were also in care in florida / former co-workers.
romantic
flirtationship / friends with benefits / one time hook ups / tinder matches / unrequited crush (can be either way) / exes on good terms.
antagonistic.
enemies / former (best) friends / exes on bad terms / frenemies / rivals / negative influence / people who don’t fuck with him.

Episode 180: She's out there somewhere
Yesterday, we saw four men together in a crypt. They are visiting parapsychologist Peter Guthrie, hardworking young fisherman Joe, instantly forgettable young lawyer Frank, and the unnamed Caretaker of the old cemetery. They witnessed an uncanny event when the ghost of Josette Collins opened the coffin of Laura Murdoch Stockbridge, who died (by fire!) in 1767. The ghostly intervention was…

What zodiac signs fits each Yellowjackets character and why:
Aries: Tai, Aries are strongwilled and ambitious. They often make good leaders due to their confidence, which is definitely something we’ve seen in Tai.
Taurus: Nat, Tauruses are stubborn and self reliant. They can also be incredibly loyal and hardworking. We’ve seen Nat stick by her teammates no matter what and be such a tough person, so this is obvious.
Gemini: Jackie, Geminis are charming and lively. Jackie was always a social leader who brought the girls together. They can also be little bit superficial, just like Jackie could be.
Cancer: Laura Lee, Cancers are caring and protective. Laura Lee was one of the most hopeful Yellowjackets and always showed compassion towards her team.
Leo: Shauna, Leos are warm hearted and brave. Leos can also be very approval seeking, which we have seen in Shauna’s relationship with Jackie. Overall, Shauna is strong and protective of her friends, just like Leo’s are.
Virgo: Van, Virgos are reasonable and very down to earth. They also don’t tolerate bullshit from others, which we’ve seen in Van. Van is very witty and practical like most Virgo.
Libra: Lottie, Libras are understanding and sociable. They can be a little fearful and fragile, which we saw in Lottie initially. Overtime, she’s overcome that and become more charismatic like a Libra, leading to people following her.
Scorpio: Mari, While we haven’t seen as much of Mari as the other, we know she’s dedicated and resourceful like a Scorpio. Scorpios can also be intense and harsh, which we have seen in Mari. She seems to be misunderstood, which is often said about this sign.
Sagittarius: Akilah, Sagittariuses are outspoken and optimistic. Akilah is hopeful that the team will make it out of woods and has been speaking her mind since day one. She’s been very honest and friendly, just like many Sagittariuses are.
Capricorn: Travis, Capricorns are confident and determined. We’ve seen Travis work hard and be self-assured in his hunting skills. He refused to stop looking for Javi as well. Capricorns can also be moody at their worse, which has been seen in Travis thus far.
Aquarius: Ben, Aquariuses are friendly and adaptable. They want to help others and make the world a better place. These are things we see in Ben, especially since he is their Coach. At their worst, Aquarius’ can become detached and distant, which is something we see Ben becoming over time.
Pisces, Misty Pisces are devoted and sensitive. Misty cares deeply what the other girls think about her and is dedicated to making sure they are ok. She is a natural caretaker. Pisces can be kind of secretive from time to time, which can be said about Misty
Let me know what you think! I’m not huge into astrology so I’m sorry if these are inaccurate, I did it based on my knowledge and experience!

Roger and Liz were really like, "Laura, why don't you stay in our former caretaker's cottage? He was a murderer who kidnapped and terrorized our governess and then died under mysterious circumstances at the Old House. I'm sure it'll be very cozy for you!" And Laura was really like, "Yes, perfect, I'll move in right away!"
