imagine coming away from Misty sobbing like a baby holding Nat in her arms as she dies with the assumption she wouldn’t grieve. Crazy

Agreed and I think it’s yet another example of mistynat being told backwards — we view Misty the same way we view everyone else, the same way we’re primed to in the pilot w the smile until we get that added context w transponder scene and it’s all recontextualized

“She was my best friend” <- opinion, correct “We had a bond you couldn’t begin to understand” <- proven true Like yeah she’s crazy but she’s not wrong here?? That’s sort of the point??

-of the main reasons I really hope we get one singular Nat-POV mistynat scene in s4 because I do think it’s important to clarify her perspective so people stop being Wrong about Misty’s reaction

I think their bond in large part relies on no one knowing about it which makes it so intimate but that much more isolating once Nat’s gone… and it’s really fascinating how the others’ inability to see how much Nat cares extends to large parts of the audience lmao. It’s one-

Yeah!! I think one of the saddest things about her grief imo is just how alone she is in it — everyone around her doesn’t understand just how much this is hurting her because the only person who really knows what they meant to each other is dead. Lisa could really help w that

thinking about how shauna sleeps with jeff to feel closer to jackie (constantly turning herself into "the jackie" of any given situation)... and how that's similar to misty pretending to be nat to flirt with kevyn

awww 🥺🥺I always love when fics have Lisa be an observer to Nat's strange feelings about Misty... the slow realization that Misty really did love her but more importantly Nat *let* Misty love her in a way she couldn't love herself? And being around Misty *was* healing in a way..

She’s not *jealous* okay Walter’s just a liability… it’s one thing for Misty to stalk her and hunt her down (normal) but it’s another for her to involve some stranger ??? She’s actually more than fine with her current stalker and Misty’s more than capable enough to go solo so???

I’ve been on a huge pokemon kick as of late + you can play as the pokemon in mystery dungeon

Well obviously? Because those are *their* things? Like why is she going on road trips with some random man. that’s weird ://

Yay 😊😊

it also doesn't stop being classist/xenophobic just because it's been done in classic lit? it's a problem in multiple spaces lmao
