#i definitely think someone is watching taissa and her family
Text
Yellowjackets S2 E4
Ok I'm positive this episode we'll finally find out what happened to Van. We are seeing her in a flashback straight from the bat.
I think she's looking for a sign or some answers. Honestly my guess is that she needs a distraction to keep going. Like things are so bad she needs something to distract her from how bad things are and she's trying to find some deeper meaning in Taissas's sleepwalks.
On the one hand it was sweet that she was looking after her but even that has taken a turn lately towards the dark with Van using her sleepwalking to justify her belief in the supernatural so she doesn't have to just admit they're alone out there and just had a shitty bout of luck, and they're not being manipulated by some deity.
These flashbacks are flashing back to the woods though, and not some happier times, like Laura Lee's finding Jesus moment or Ben's flashing back to being with his boyfriend, which leads me to hope that Van is still alive and Taissa isn't heading to visit her grave or anything along those lines.
I am positive she's being led straight to Van though. Like 100% sure that this is where she's going. Why did she leave the car door unlocked and the window wide open though?
Oh and we're back to Shauna's family drama again. If I have to watch another random scene before we find out what happened to Van I'm going to throw a chair.
...
Is this what they call edging? Like we are so fucking close. I'm positive we find out in this episode. They've kept us waiting for TWO SEASONS! If not in this episode then when? This is torture 😭😭😭
Fine, I'll play your game. I won't be happy about it but I'll play it. I just know they won't fucking show us Van until the very edge. I mean end. I just know they're going to keep me waiting from one cliffhanger to the next. 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
They're so evil for this.
Anyway I don't trust or like the new guy Misty is hanging out with.
Is the coach really trying to start shit with a cabin full of cannibals?
Is Nat trying to compete with Lottie because she's banking on finding that Elk? Cause if she doesn't have a game plan here this is a horrible idea. We know she's not going to die but it could very easily have swung that way for her.
Lottie is definitely shady but I don't think she intentionally killed Trevor. I think Nat is just trying to find someone to blame. Is her new cult shady? Yeah. But you get the impression that she has good intentions and a cult personality she can't help. Not that she wants power or control, but that she's just given those things due to her personality.
At least adult Lottie seems to acknowledge her 'visions' are just hallucinations. Maybe they harken to some feelings but they're not visions of the future like the girls believed.
So everyone's just putting Lottie up on this pedestal and I don't think she really wants to be there so will she intentionally flub the contest to get them to stop putting all that pressure on her or does she feel like she has to try out of necessity?
The relationships seem to be really affected by this whole cult that's forming. Van and Tai for the most part seem to be split right down the middle because of it. I wonder if that's the reason they ended up parting ways, or if it was something that happened after their rescue. Like maybe they drifted apart or one of them was forced in the closet or removed from their town and they just lost touch. Whatever it was I'm sure it's gonna be heart-wrenching. These two have already weaseled their way into my heart and it's gonna suck so bad to see them parted.
At least there's still hope for them in the future. I am sure Tai is heading to see Van as we speak, so with her marriage ending, maybe they can kiss and make up and love happily ever after. Yeah I know how deluded it sounds but I just really want that to happen.
I genuinely do not care about Callie sneaking around.
The way that guy with Misty eats should be criminal.
See, I thought Tai was walking to the closest bus stop but she was going to WALK ALL THE WAY TO THE LOVE OF HER LIFE? Now THAT is commitment. IDEC anymore, I would go to war for these two.
That one girl studying for a test is as deluded as I am.
Is the mouse gonna be friend or food?
If they send them out to compete to find good and one of them finds Javi do they count that or?
People in movies and tv cut themselves way too easily. It took me fifteen minutes to psyche myself up to try one of those diabetes blood sugar reading things and that just pokes you on the finger.
The 14th Gilly is the only acceptable distraction at this point but can we go back to Tai and Van though?
No. We're back to Callie's shit again 😤
Honestly I'm as sceptical as Taissa but sometimes you just have to nod your head and go with the flow. This might mean nothing to hee but it clearly means something to her girlfriend.
I just think she could afford to be a little more supportive.
Van isn't crazy she's just trying to find answers and meanings in a shitty situation because she's scared and this could make her feel a little safer. And honestly Tai owes her a LOT. Van blindly followed her out on that expedition that got her MAULED. I think Taissa owes her the benefit of the doubt on this.
I'm getting tired of the coach's flashbacks. They're not really bringing anything new to the table. We get it. He's traumatised and this is his form of escapism. This just feels like more filler to distract us from Nat's capture and Tai's Odyssey back to her wife. Not her actual wife but the one she forgot to take her heart back from after the breakup.
Nat, take the fish
She actually did 🥺
I love her 🥹
Funny how she went from trying to kill this girl to trying to protect her and maybe projecting some of her own family trauma as well.
Oh no, Misty's gonna miss Nat now because of that setback.
I swear if they credit Lottie with the moose dying I'm gonna scream.
Misty's practical. I'm sure she was only siding with Lottie's group out of necessity. I'm so glad she's going along with Nat's plan right now. I really hope they can pull it off though because that's going to be even harder with the ice and the water weight.
There's no way she just found another plane.
Oh no, it's Laura Lee's plane 🫢
How the fuck did Leonard survive? He was one of the first things to catch fire. Is Lottie seeing things? Wait, did Laura Lee actually survive? There is no way. She has to be seeing things.
Yeah she's definitely seeing things right now
Is she hearing the theme song too or is it just us?
Aww my babies eating and having fun 🥹
Lottie is down bad for Laura Lee
I don't see Jackie, is she behind Misty or something like that?
Wait, is Lottie freezing to death like Jackie?
Laura Lee saved her life. Lottie is really really down for her.
That was so hard to watch. The cinematography was amazing but damn that was so soul-crushing
I'm glad Nat isn't suicidal anymore... At least right now.
And Misty continues to be goated
But can we go back to Taissa already, pretty please?
If you're annoyed by me constantly asking about Van and Tai, just imagine how annoyed I was when I was watching and waiting for a semblance of progress on that front.
Yeah he's DEFINITELY out to get her. It's not a coincidence that she would put on that "birds of the tropics" playlist while he put on something with cats. That's visual storytelling at its finest. Is he very similar? Yes. But is he also a threat to Misty? YES. I do not trust him.
As much as I love Shauna we are so overdue on an update about Taissas's trip that I just don't care right now. If it's not about the Nat/Lottie competition and it's not about Van and Taissa I just don't care right now.
These people are using up the whole kitchen just to make a salad or whatever?
Funnily enough, I too was about to have a bath just now, but got distracted, so this is the one in a million time I can actually relate to Nat. The scene was cute though and I guess I kind of see a possible new ship forming here with Nat and Lottie. Like, I can see the appeal. They have that 'opposite side of the tracks' dynamic and they're also sort of rivals like Shauna and Jackie. I just prefer modern day Misty and Nat to the Lottie and Nat of the past.
There's definitely some symbolism with that queen of hearts having her eyes blacked out. Does it stand for Taissa sleepwalking or Lottie's visions or maybe another character who just doesn't see things like the rest of them, like Nat? Like, they consider her 'blind' to Lottie's thing so they blacked out the eyes and the card stands for her? Or is it a dead character like Jackie or Laura Lee?
Also is the card real? Did Nat put it there? Or is it another dream?
Lottie is regressing, isn't she?
I mean they're all regressing to their teen selves but Lottie is like going back to her cultish beliefs? Of like whatever it was they believed in the forest.
Tell me Van and Taissa aren't about to find Javi
Holly shit, he's alive?
Was he the one leaving all those carvings then?
And stealing the food?
I knew they were gonna use this to double down on the whole Lottie being a psychic thing.
Nat and Shauna better haul ass before they get blamed for Javi getting lost and for trying to convince Trent that his brother was dead.
Taissa is fucked too. Now Nat is absolutely convinced that her sleepwalking has some higher purpose.
Oh my god though are we finally going to meet her adult self? I think I saw her in the credits and I've been waiting for this moment for over a season now, and I'm so excited!!!
Taissa really spent the whole episode trying to get to her 🥹 at least one whole day passed. She's spent hours walking driving and riding a truck to get to Van 🥺
The way she smoothed her hair back self consciously 😭
That hopeful smile!
The rainbow flag 😅
SHE KNEW! SHE FUCKING KNEW! SHE RECOGNISED HER INSTANTLY! 😭😭😭😭😭
This show is messing with my heart. I'm gonna go cry in my room for a while because they are so perfect

Hero, Yuta, & Me
Summary: Your pet sitting job lands you at the doorstep of the magnetic Yuta Nakamoto, owner of the cutest Shiba Inu on the planet, Hero.
Multi-part series: Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3
Part 1
Word Count: 2,021 words
You were getting ready for the day, brushing your hair in front on your vanity. Your mom was visiting your grandparents down south while your dad and younger brothers were at Disney World. Those lucky bastards. You regretted not going with them but you were saving up for a Korean pop convention that was coming up in the summer. And you just landed a pretty sweet gig with your pet sitting job, Read It and Woof.
The owner, Yuta Nakamoto, lived in Miami Beach in a nice townhouse. He was the owner of a Shiba Inu named Hero. You were psyched because you had never seen a Shiba in the flesh. Mr. Nakamoto was going on a business trip so he needed someone to spend the weekend at his place, looking after Hero.
You parked in Mr. Nakamoto’s driveway, seeing his black Dodge Challenger’s trunk popped open. The front door was slightly ajar. You grabbed your bag out of the backseat and shut the door.
You heard a bark and whipped around to see a black and tan Shiba Inu sitting before you and you nearly crumble.
“Hi!” You greet the pup. “You must be Hero.”
Hero got up and started sniffing at your sneakers. All the while his tail was wagging. You laughed.
“Y/N.”
You looked back up to see the most beautiful boy you’d ever laid eyes on and nearly roll your eyes at the cliche that just popped into your head. He was a stunner. He was a legend. He was a god. Mr. Nakamoto was dressed in business professional attire of a finely tailored gray suit. His dark brown hair was slicked back and your breathing hitched. His brown eyes were sharp and captivating. And-
Cool it, Y/N. He may have a Shiba and he may be hot as fuck. But you gotta reel it in.
“Mr. Nakamoto?” You asked.
He smirked. “Call me Yuta. It’s really nice to meet you. Can I take your bag?”
“It’s nice to meet you, too.” You shook your head when you saw him reach his arm out to grab your Captain Marvel themed bag. Your bag wasn’t that heavy. “Oh, that’s okay. I got it.”
He nodded. “I’ll show you around. Thanks for coming so early.”
And suddenly you forgot that you were cursing yourself for taking the gig since you had to wake up at 5:30 AM to get ready so you can meet Yuta at 7:30 AM. Miami traffic was merciless even at 6:30 in the morning.
“It’s fine,” you said.
Yuta opened the front door and said, “After you.”
Hero ran in right after and you could hear the pitter pat of his feet and grinned. Dogs were effortless in making people laugh. That’s one of the things you loved most about them.
Dog toys were all over the wooden floor. Including a soccer ball. Three different pairs of shoes were placed beside the door. There was a lot of wooden furnishings and there were a couple of sliding doors. You noted that the interior of the house was very reminiscent of Japanese interior design.
“This is a really nice place you got here,” you said.
Yuta laughed. “You don’t have to lie. It’s a mess. I’m sorry about that. But Hero likes it that way.”
“Oh I don’t think it’s fair to pin it all on Hero.”
Hero was right on Yuta’s heels, staring up in adoration at his owner. You could feel their connection to each other and you knew that Yuta really loved him. Yuta looked down at Hero and rubbed his head.
“Maybe you’re right,” Yuta said as he looked back up at you. “Do you want something to drink? Eat? I made scrambled eggs.”
“Sounds good. I don’t want to keep you, though.” You remembered he had a flight to catch soon. Miami International Airport was very unforgiving.
Yuta’s eyes grew noticeably bigger. “Oh, yeah. Well, the tour’s quick. You got all of my instructions via email anyway. If you have any questions at any time, don’t hesitate to text. I can only take phone calls after 10 at night since my meetings are running late this weekend. I apologize.”
“It’s no problem.”
Yuta smiled. “If you’ll follow me.” He walked you down the hall and showed you the different rooms in the house. Hero was allowed to roam as he pleased. He usually liked to sleep in Yuta’s bed but he also had a bed in the living room. And a bed in the kitchen because Yuta sometimes liked to get a midnight snack and it was almost as if Hero knew that. Then, Hero would seize the opportunity to guilt trip Yuta into giving him something to munch on.
You were living for Yuta’s anecdotes.
“So the last door on the left is my room, which Hero can sleep in. But I’m pretty sure he’ll be with you. If you don’t mind keeping your room open. Which brings me to the guest room,” Yuta said.
He pushed the sliding door open and revealed a comfortable floor bed with a floor desk that had a cute little cactus and lamp on it.
“If you’d like extra blankets, the linen closet has a lot. Go nuts.” He laughed.
“Thanks, Yuta. I really appreciate it.” Most of your clients were nice people. Some were a little chaotic. But then, by the grace of God, you stumbled on a miracle.
You and Yuta walked back to the entrance.
“Well, I’m off,” Yuta said, “Thanks again for doing this, Y/N.” A strand of his hair fell into his eyes and he tucked it behind his ear. You imagined him doing that to your hair and you blushed, feeling guilty over fantasizing about a client you’d only see once more when he came back to make sure you didn’t kidnap Hero.
You nodded. “You’re welcome...Uh, safe travels...Yeah.” Lord, help you.
He gave you a knowing smile. He had to be aware of the effect he had on people. Whatever his line of work, he was probably the most magnetic person there.
“Bye,” he said in a playful tone. He knelt down and pet Hero. “You be good, alright?” Hero barked. The first time you heard him today.
10
You sat on the couch with Hero watching the news. Taking care of Hero consisted of taking him on a walk a couple of times a day. Taking him to the dog park this afternoon since Saturday afternoons were for dog park visits. Feeding him his meals. Giving him some treats as you said the commands Yuta suggested in his email. “Sit”, “play dead”, and “grab the remote”. You laughed at that last one.
You wondered how Yuta was doing. You thought it was funny that you were even thinking about him that way when you only talked to him for at most twenty minutes. There was no question you wanted to get to know him better.
Hero laid his head on your lap when you were texting your group chat that you shared with your three girlfriends: Joanna, Taissa, and Kaia.
HowRU Group Chat: We Clowned Clowns
Joanna: So how’s it going with the Shibs?
You: It’s good. His name’s Hero. Have contemplated kidnapping him. The owner’s really nice.
Kaia: Oh?
Taissa: That’s the first time you said an owner was nice so...you mean he’s NICE.
You: Yes.
Kaia: What aren’t you saying, Y/N?
Joanna: She likes him. He’s hot, isn’t he?
Taissa: Do you have pictures?
You: Sure in the 20 minutes we were together, I got 200 candids. Of course not!
Kaia: Can you tell us about him at least?
You: Dreamy. Slicked back brown hair. Brown eyes that basically hug you. Excellent cheekbones. A smile that will make you go blind if you look too long. About 5’9 if I had to compare his height to Kaia’s.
Joanna: So he’s short
Taissa: Not for Y/N and me. No.
Kaia: He’s short.
You: I’m gonna continue. His house is really nice. Japanese style. Wooden floor. I get to walk around in my bare feet. He keeps the place really tidy, even with all the dog toys.
Taissa: You need to snatch him up, Y/N.
You: I don’t think I can.
Joanna: Don’t go into a spiel about how you’re not good enough. I will not allow it. You are more than good enough for any man you want. Go for it.
Kaia: Yes, Y/N! Ask him out!
Taissa: Maybe he’ll even beat you to it! But think about it!
You: Read It and Woof doesn’t encourage fraternization between employee and client.
Taissa: Boo, those whores.
Even if Yuta was interested, the company was strict about dating. Maybe there was some leniency if you never worked for Yuta again. But that’s a huge maybe. And you liked your part-time job. You needed it to save up before you applied to get your Master’s. And you liked Hero and definitely wanted to see him again.
The same could be said about his owner.
You sighed and decided to order some pizza. Hero was eating his kibble for dinner when the doorbell rang. You checked the peephole and saw it was the pizza delivery girl. She looked very made-up with mascara and lipstick for someone who was delivering pizzas.
You opened the door and saw that the girl’s hopeful expression faded.
She said, deadpan, “Large pepperoni with stuffed cheesy bread?”
You nodded.
She handed you the merchant copy of the receipt to sign. You did. You handed her three bucks as her tip. She handed you the pizza and cheesy bread.
“So, are you his girlfriend?” She asked.
“What?” You frowned in confusion.
Then, you remembered you weren’t at your own house. You were at Yuta’s.
“Oh! No, I’m not. I’m pet sitting.”
The girl’s face became hopeful again and she looked less hostile. “Oh, okay! Well, have a good night!”
Well, that was fun.
You sat down at the kitchen table and enjoyed your meal. You decided to explore the house a little bit more.
You looked carefully at the walls and saw some photographs of Yuta and his family. He posed with two girls you guessed were his sisters. They were at Universal Studios Japan and hanging out with the minions. You smiled at Yuta’s very animated face. There was another formal picture of Yuta with his parents and who you now confirmed were his sisters. They all looked regal in their formal wear. You saw another picture of a younger Yuta playing soccer. That would explain the soccer ball in the living room, after all. You continued down the line and saw what you thought was a very recent picture of Yuta posing with his team:
The national Japanese soccer team.
And then you looked at the next picture and recognized David Beckham. Beckham was shaking hands with Yuta. The Inter Miami CF logo was at the bottom right corner of the photograph.
Whoa.
Yuta was an international soccer player. Your inner thirteen-year-old was screeching.
Hero’s pitter pats were getting closer and he stood by you.
You knelt down and pet him. “Hero, why didn’t you tell me Yuta was a soccer star?”
Hero nuzzled against your hand.
Your phone vibrated in your pocket. Yuta texted you.
Maybe I needed to change his contact name. It sounded...suggestive. Mr. Nakamoto will see you now.
HowRU Group Chat: With Mr. Nakamoto
Mr. Nakamoto: Hey. How’s it going? Did Hero trash the place yet?
You: Hi! It’s going well. Hero’s been a good doggo. How are things?
Mr. Nakamoto: That’s good to hear. It’s been stressful but it looks like things are going to work out.
You: How mysterious.
Mr. Nakamoto: It’s pretty boring, actually. But if all goes well, I get to stay in Miami for a long while.
You: I hope it does.
Mr. Nakamoto: Me, too :)
You debated bringing up what you discovered of Yuta but weren’t sure how to proceed with it.
Hey Yuta, by the way, why didn’t you tell me you were a soccer sensation?
Or...
Hey, Yuta, do you like Messi?
You decided to drop it. Maybe he’d mention it to you. Maybe he wouldn’t.
It would all depend on whether you guys would see each other again after the weekend was over.
Part 2 (Coming Soon)

TAISSA HAS ENTERED THE DIARY ROOM
Taissa sat down in the rather large chair, looking more nervous then usual. She heard of Big Brother wanting to ask questions(at first she thought she was in deep shit for some odd reason). But what was the pure worst that could happen? The questions be embarrassing? Well...okay let’s not touch that.
Things That Make You Smile...
Taissa sat there, her eyes up in thought. This seemed innocent enough!
“Things that make me smile...Um...Kittens make me smile? I watch a bunch of cat videos and I can just get through my day doing that. Or just watch old Vines in general? That seems so dumb but they were actually funny! They really need to bring that back, taking it away was sort of dumb I think.”
Things That Make You Sad
“Wow...okay, um...I mean seeing someone upset kinda bums me out. Especially the feeling you don’t have any control to help them though you want to so bad? That is the worst feeling ever to me. Just that feeling of helplessness...it’s not a good feeling at all. Yeah...that’s what makes me sad the most really.
Name Five Turn-Ons
“Now see, this can go either way.” She had to laugh at that, chewing on her bottom lip as she went back to her thinking face again.
“Honesty is a big one, I don’t want someone to sugar coat things for me. I mean...I know I come off super vanilla but if you are just straight with me from the start I’d respect you more. Let’s see...someone who is not afraid to tell what they want, that goes with the honesty thing. I mean I’m not a mind reader, I’m actually pretty oblivious to stuff so if you just tell me nine times out of ten I’ll go for it you know? Let’s see, that’s two...oh wow...okay. I’m a pretty big hopeless romantic? Like I like the little stuff someone does to those they like. You don’t have to give me huge things of roses or anything that’s unrealistic. Just...draw me something? Or...send a text that’s super sweet. I’m a simple girl! Three...uh...Funny! Gotta be funny. Having good breath? Smelling good? That counts as a turn on right? And...the last thing is...uh...not being a dick I guess?”
Name Five Turn-Offs
“Oh wow okay, I can not stand an obvious douche. Like...Jersey Shore douche you know what I mean? Someone who thinks they are hot shit but they are obviously not. You’re not impressing anyone and the ones that are impressed have very little esteem in themselves. I also can’t stand flashyness, do you get what I mean? Oh I got the best car, oh I got this house. That’s material things,what’s behind that? Are you a good person? Are you good to people? Do you give back to the people in need? Superficial people like that, like dude...come on. We all started from the bottom and worked hard to get where we are don’t act like you are more important then the next person. Voting for Trump? That’s a turn off for everyone I think,” again she laughed as she continued.
“Someone with bad breath. You can smell like sweat that’s fine in fact I can say someone who has a nice sweat smell can be a turn on too but...I don’t know I’;m weird. But if you smell like you haven’t showered in like a month that’s a no no. And I guess someone who doesn’t like animals.”
Songs That Relate To Them
“Jesus...there’s so many. I’ve been on a Best Coast kick lately. California Nights is my all time favorite album. There’s not one song on that album I don’t relate to in some way.”
People Who Have Changed Their Life
“Oh my sister, definitely my sister Vera. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for her pushing me to do this. She’s been the inspiration to everything I do.”
Items You’ll Always Find In Your Character’s Apartment
“Vinyl,” she burst into laughs. “I know typical hipster. I also have some gifts from fans that I just wanted to keep. Not all of them though, if I did that my apartment would be flooded but there are some that I’ve kept close to my heart. A bunch of DVDs, stuff my mom insist on letting me have from Ukraine. Yeah...my apartment is actually pretty boring.”
Kisses That Mattered
“Oh my God, wow...okay! Well, I haven’t kissed anyone here. I doubt anyone wants to kiss me here. But um...Evan was actually my first kiss that actually meant something. I kissed someone before in a film but he...he was different. Wow...okay!”
People or Things You Miss Most (due to being on Big Brother)
“My family definitely. Vera and my parents and my sisters...I miss them all so much. I also miss my dog. It kinda sucks sometimes I can’t reach out to them but...I think it’ll be okay. Maybe convince Vera to get here that’ll be something!”
Regrets
“So many, so many! I regret letting alcohol take over me the way it does. I’ve been...slipping lately but I’m trying to get back on track.”
Favorite Foods
“Pizza! Who doesn’t love pizza honestly? Pasta...ice cream...all the bad foods but pizza is the top.”
Fears
“I think...one of my biggest fears is I will go back to drinking like I did. I used to be so bad...like drinking every night, stumbling...yelling...drink to get over hangovers. It was...it was pretty bad and addiction is not something you can’t just let go it’s with you for life. I do worry...that’s why I’m trying not to sneak a drink.”
Hobbies
“I’m kinda couch potato, I watch way too much TV. If I had a real hobby I guess it would be cooking. I do love to cook!”
Pick Your Own Topic (optional)
“I just have a question. With these entries it’s just the audience seeing right? No one inside the house sees these right?” God she hoped not, the first one she did was a declaration of finding Norman Reedus hot and still having some feelings for Evan as well as or alcohol problem. It was just for the TVs! No one else saw these...right?

{{ Questions for Canon Muses
{{ Found the questions here:
https://fallxnprxnce.tumblr.com/post/160809400830/questions-for-muns-of-canon-muses
1. What is the biggest headcanon deviation from the canon material that you have incorporated into the way you write your muse? Why did you come up with it?
I am incredibly attached to canon, so I try not to deviate from it, as much as possible. There is one detail, which doesn't exactly deviate from canon... but I took a little detail from the comics and twisted it into something freshly agonizing.
In the original comics, Raven's mentor and all of Azarath's spiritual leader died (of old age) when Raven was 10. Now, considering the DCAU movies, 10 looks to be just about how old Raven was when she brought Trigon to Azarath... so I kept the comic!canon that Azar died when Raven was 10, but headcanon that rather than dying of old age, she died alongside all the rest of the Azaratheans by Trigon's hands.
As for what possessed me to conclude that, I have no idea whatsoever, and can only point in the vague direction of "I Was Trying to Figure Out How Old She Was", and then it just kinda clicked.
3. What is something that was never addressed at all in the canon material that you have independently developed for your muse?
Raven's methods of coping with having an abusive parent literally attached to her head? I think we'll be seeing some Conflict of That Nature in the upcoming movie, but as for the daily struggle, that’s all me.
4. Have you made any outright changes to the canon material in order to write your muse the way you wanted (entire scenes you chose to omit, chapters you say never existed, things you assume were never said, etc.)?
I say I take comic canon into consideration to fill in the gaps where the movie doesn't address canon fact... but when I say "comics", I pretty specifically mean the New Teen Titans comics, and even THEN, I intentionally and specifically don't count anything after, oh, maybe 1989?, during or after the Wildebeest / Titans Hunt storyline. Aside from being confusing and convoluted, I've just never felt compelled to address that story in anything I've ever touched.
(Besides the over-arching and undeniably canon fact that Raven is really hard to kill in such a way that she’ll stay dead-forever. I keep that. I love that about her.)
But the absolutely WORST comic canon that I absolutely REFUSE to acknowledge as ANYTHING other than a terrible fanfic is definitely the Sons of Trigon plot from the 2008 issues of "Titans". Vast potential for phobia triggers aside, Raven was so terribly out of character, the story was poorly written, the writers ignored everything Marv Wolfman had ever written (Trigon HIMSELF said Raven was his ONLY heir! over and over and over again), mathematically it just didn't work (there's no way between that time and the time of Titans that Trigon had 6 more grown-adult kids), The NOTP was there and they laid it on out-of-characteristically thick, the fact that I put more effort and development into my own canon-compliant OC than whoever wrote those comics (who didn't seem to bother reading ANY of Raven's history with Trigon), just... so many reasons. I despise that story and will never lift anything from it as any kind of inspiration. You ever want to get me Instantly Salty, just remind me that story was published by Actually Factually DC Comics. I'm disgusted.
5. What is an aspect of your muse’s canon material or canon existence that you never had the opportunity to explore but really want to?
Ah, much better! Truth be told, that's what I write fanfiction for, so most of the answers I could put here have already been penned (whether it's in a file or actually posted). Things like, what if Raven DID have a sibling? Can she fall ill from MAGICAL things? How does she cope with the guilt of everything she feels is her fault? And of course, the 80's comics dedicated an entire issue to exploring her upbringing in Azarath, so that has already been explored quite explicitly. And even on the fluffy side, JLvTT explored her actually Having Fun, which was super nice to see and warms my heart... but, you know, A Happy Raven could always use more exploring. c: Not just in "distraction" either, but comforting her? Heal The Child!! I can and I will address her grief and loss and SEE her HEALING! Not just healing other people, but HERSELF as well!!
6. What is the general opinion of your muse’s fandom about them? Do you agree with it?
Eh, this particular side of the TT fandom is a lot more liberal with her emotions than I've ever seen any reason for? I mean, statistically, she does smile more in this verse than in other aspects of canon, but she still restrains her emotion and she still acts distant and aloof most of the time. She definitely cares and engages and smiles, but like.... not nearly so much, or as quickly, as people tend to write or draw. I don't even think we've ever seen her cry, solely excepting the scene where she's watching Trigon destroy Azarath. Despite all the terrible things that have happened. That says something.
7. For movie or TV muses, what is your muse’s favorite scene? Why? Can you show a screenshot?
Ohogsh, well, her favorite moments are absolutely the times the Titans spend together, as a family. If it weren’t for everything that happened immediately after, the carnival scenes would’ve been among the sweetest time of her life thus far. The things I imagine being her ABSOLUTE favorite weren’t shown on screen, things like Christmas mornings and movie nights, game nights, not even necessarily moments where she was involved, but just times when they’re having a good time, relaxed and enjoying each others’ company. (Especially as an empath, those moments are wonderful.)
I also like to think she’s especially proud of Damian’s growth, but I can’t put it down to a Particular Moment...
8. For movie or TV muses, what is a scene with your muse that you hate? Why? Can you show a screenshot?
(So... Suicide tw on this one. Thanks, JLD:AW.)
Seeing her in pain and struggling and suffering always pierces the most tender and sensitive parts of my heart... but that moment... that scene, the one we've only GLIMPSED, in previews no less, from Justice League Dark: Apokolips War. Where she's on her knees, and she's holding something to her throat... and she pulls back... and she's legitimately genuinely right on the precipice of committing suicide? That has shaken me more than any self-deprecation or guilt or ostracization or loneliness from her ever had before. I don't "hate" it, but gods, it hurts, knowing she was right there, and ready to do that. Because you only actually DO that when you're so destroyed and hopeless and agonized and empty that there isn't any room for hope or recovery in your mind, and it just.... It struck a personal chord in me, let's just say that. ;; I only have Guesses about why she's so ready, but every single one of them just HURTS so MUCH. Whatever it was, it hurt HER so much! Gods. I'm trembling. I just... well I hate that she was so broken, she felt like that was the answer.
(okay.... tw over.)
9. For movie or TV muses, what other character played by your muse’s actor/actress has a lot in common with your muse?
I'm not enough of a TV person to know what else Taissa Farmiga has been in, unfortunately. I know she's done some work in the horror genre, but that's it.
10. For book muses, what is your muse’s favorite scene? Why? Can you provide a short excerpt?
11. For book muses, what is a scene with your muse that you hate? Why? Can you provide a short excerpt?
12. For book muses, what other character from a book or book series has a lot in common with your muse?
13. What canon character do you really wish your muse could interact more with?
Within canon, or within RPs? Because within canon, I'm looking forward to seeing how she interacts with John Constantine. So much. And, I won't lie, I'm desperately curious to see if/how she has any further reactions with Clark, after that devastating life-saving moment we saw in the previews...
~ As far as RPs though, more interaction with the other Titans would be great. Warm-and-fuzzies and camaraderie. Though, as an OC creator, I'd also love to give more love to other OCs?~ I love learning about All-New Characters! I love exploring Raven's interactions with someone she's never met before; someone I know nothing about! And as a writer, I love giving others the opportunity to explore and develop their characters. c: It's a bit of a broad stroke, but it's no less true.
14. What is your ideal AU for your muse?
I actually... don't do AUs? I mentioned my fondness for canon, but, heh, this 'verse already feels like a bit of an AU to me! (I've spent nearly 2/3 of my life loving on the '03 cartoon and the 80's comics, so this DCAU-verse Raven was a whole new constellation of my favorite traits! Plus some younger, softer, vulnerable traits that I also love, and entirely new character dynamics with the new team. Even a whole new sHIP???) Anyways, I guess my point is, this already IS my ideal AU for Raven~
15. What plots/interactions leave you feeling protective of your muse?
Bold of you to assume I'm not ALWAYS feeling protective of her. But anything that hits a vulnerable spot for her, particularly in the spots I can relate to her on... (Which are a lot of them, honestly, but some hurt more than others.) I called her "my little soul-sister" today, and I meant that with every fiber of my being. So seeing her hurt? Protective Mode: Auto-Engaged!
