mistyjax whether it’s platonic or romantic ( like how it was intended originally ) …. i will spread your word
Natalie & Misty adoring each other throughout time . . .
They are so in love, your honor!
I love comparing mistynat from both timelines side by side. We don’t get to see these two interact as often in the wilderness, but whenever we do, there’s these brief little moments of adoration between them that we get to see transcend time. ♡
mistyjackie would've been such a great dynamic... i might think of a prompt for them later ^^
i heard through the grapevine (reblogs) that u like jackiemisty… mistyjackie…. Whatever they’re called… would u maybe draw them…

Day 1501
I'm only a little hungover right now
What if? — That's the question you’re able to explore when we're talking about alternative universes.
As we bring Misty and Natalie into multiple realities, we’re able to see how it might be to have them living through different places, different worlds, and even decades. While staying true to the classic MistyNat dynamic we all know and love, our alternative universes theme allows us to imagine our couple in various roles that give us so much to work with — all while preserving what makes them them.

SHES IS A LESBIAN #TOME WE HAVE TO SPREAD IT CAUSE ITS LITERALLY CANON
in rewatching misty's deprivation tank therapy, i'm more convinced than ever that misty is a lesbian suffering from compulsory heterosexuality. the entire scene, from start to finish, is about misty accepting that walter has feelings for her (not the other way around), and learning to push through her discomfort with that fact.
the deprivation tank scene begins by establishing that misty is afraid. we see quick transitions and hear bubbling water and see a terrifying fish coming at the camera with sharp teeth. followed by a slightly softer stream of images of walter, interspersed with memories of crystal, and of caligula. misty is thinking about three key relationships in this moment: walter, who is actively pursuing her; crystal, whom she loved and hurt and misses; and caligula, who is the only creature that both loves her, and she loves back.
love is the concept that ties these three together: walter is who she could love, crystal is who she did love, and caligula is who she does love.
and so the memories fade into her fantasy sequence, led by caligula, and he begins to soothe her. this creature that represents real (platonic, obviously) love to her (in that it is true and reciprocated, more than she feels it is with any human) tells her "shake off your blues/i'll set the mood for ya". caligula is acknowledging her fear and her loss, and telling her that he can fix it. that he has an answer that will make all of her problems go away.
which is when walter appears, looking like the leading man in a classic musical; an idealized romantic interest, one her fantasy has turned from a real man into a fictional character. and what does he do? performs for her. misty (per the directions of the song, to just "sit right down") sits and watches. she does not interact with him, because she (and her attraction) is not a part of this. one element of comphet is the inability to picture yourself in a fantasy with a man; misty does not put herself with walter, she does not join him.
and while he and caligula perform, three items float around the screen: the plane axe, a syringe, and the black box (which fluctuates between intact and exposed). these three items are such a fascinating choice, because they, 1) all relate to the actions she took in her need to be useful and appreciated, but 2) also represent some of the ugliest things she has done (at a time when she has recently been thinking about what kind of person these things make her). she is thinking about these moments (her behavior with ben, murdering jessica, and stranding the team/breaking crystal's trust) that cause her great discomfort, at the same time she is trying to convince herself that walter is what she needs. she is comparing the discomfort she has with walter's interest and the validation she would feel from a relationship, to the way she's felt about all of these other bad things she's felt compelled to do.
while these items float, caligula sings, "now sit right down/let your troubles melt away/and you'll be sitting pretty in the moonlight gaze". continuing to tell her to push through the discomfort; just let it go. and if you do? "moonlight gaze" is such an interesting choice, because the moon is most strongly symbolic of women. if she lets go and has this relationship with walter, the other women will think she's normal. (especially after just a few hours prior to this, natalie had said, "we're all like this, aren't we?" this is her chance to prove nat wrong, for misty's own sake and/or for nat's!) this is not the first time misty has displayed behavior suggesting that it's important to her that natalie (and other people in general) see her as desirable as a romantic/sexual prospect: telling natalie about her dates on the road trip to travis, "i bet he thinks we're hookers!" said with glee in the jail, "i have a secret boyfriend, too," whispered to natalie in '96. if she decides to accept walter's interest (a man who is so into her that he is literally fine with her being a serial killer!), then maybe the other girls will see how worthy misty is of affection and attention.
once the dance number is over, misty immediately goes to speak with caligula; again, in her fantasy about loving walter, she doesn't interact with walter. instead she seeks caligula out, because he is the one she feels a real connection to; he is the one who knows her and can reassure her - the one whose reassurance will mean something. (walter, a man she barely knows, has been nothing but a concept to her in this fantasy, and that doesn't change.) misty's conversation with caligula is emotional; she is clearly bothered by the idea that other people see her as a murderer. but caligula doesn't give her an emotional response or solution; instead, he tells her she's a "closer". he points out that, even when things are rough (i.e., even though she doesn't like how walter makes her feel), she can persevere and accomplish her goals. it is this reminder that causes misty to transition the scene to to the final piece.
and oh boy, is that final scene a goldmine. because it begins with a close-up on misty's childhood phone. the phone that becky called her on back in 1992, to tell her that she was disgusting. that no man would want her, and that she would never find "a victim" to sleep with. that moment was foundational for misty's issues, for her desire to be wanted and needed in '96, and her deep need to receive validation from men in '21. this scene is so crucial to understanding misty's relationship to comphet, because one of the key facets is wanting a man to see you as desirable, because that is a woman's value in a misogynistic society. this hits misty so especially hard because she's not just lacking interest and validation from men in school; she hasn't been getting recognition from anyone. (for her to break the black box after just a few hours of receiving positive attention? she was starving for it.)
and so walter calls her on the phone - their backs to each other, literal and emotional distance between them - and starts to tell her that he loves her. but he doesn't say the words. instead he uses morse code to send "uoyevoli": "i love you", backwards. a fascinating choice, because it could be argued that the morse code is representative of their shared love of puzzles as crime solvers. but why backwards? surely the symbolism of the puzzle connection has been satisfied by the morse code.
it's because misty doesn't want to hear "i love you." she wants the implication of walter's desire, she wants to know she has value, but she doesn't want the actual feelings. she wants him to say i love you in a way she can't feel. she wants him to call her and turn his back so she can do the same. she wants to "get the ball over the goal line" and to do that she needs this level of distance.
so this scene with walter? it isn't about walter; it's about recreating that brutal memory. it's about rewriting her past. in her fantasy, walter calls her to prove that becky was wrong, that he is choosing misty because she is desirable. that he does want her. and this is so key because this whole scene is about how walter feels. that walter wants her. in misty's "realization" that she wants to be with walter, it isn't about her feelings at all. the purple flowing line of love comes from walter, the words "i love you" - twisted as they may be - come from walter. misty's only role in her fantasy is to "sit right down" and accept her role; surrender to the fact that walter is the right choice.
and when she does, when she finally, finally comes to the end of this moment, she still doesn't interact with walter. the natural progression of a love confession is physical contact. a kiss, or a relieved embrace. misty seeks neither! in this fantasy of hers where she can have anything, she makes no effort to acknowledge walter at all. instead, she turns to caligula, representative of her real connections. and she celebrates her victory with him. misty can close this deal, can get through this decision she's made, by clinging to the people she does actually care about.
my first favorite hobby is yapping. second is being extremely quiet and not talking ever at all ever.
It's officially April 26th and our final day for accepting MistyNat Week theme submissions! If you have any last minute suggestions, remember to send them our way before submissions officially close ♡
im mistynat FOR LIFE but hear me out
misty and lottie start dating post rescue bc nat dumped both for travis - again - and misty visited lottie at the hospital for a while because she needed someone to talk to about the whole situation. someone who truly understood her (in this instance, at least - two lesbians suffering over a bisexual girl who likes emo boys).
for some reason, they break up during the early-mid 2000's. an ugly break-up, makes both of them spiral into their worst versions all over again. lottie starts the "intentional community" and tries really hard to stay in touch with reality, while misty sinks into reddit and unresolved murder cases until she can't really think of anything else.
and this goes on until natalie gets out of rehab (again) looking for misty and all the canon adult stuff from season 1 happens - mistys love and caring for natalie, an old flame reignites. also, the beginning of season 2 - lotties need to make natalie 'heal' and her attempt to reconnect.
then, inevitably, misty and lottie reunite in s2 in lotties cult - we see them getting all weird during their first interaction, they try to act as if nothing has happened since none of the other girls have a clue about their past together (none of them answered misty nor visited lottie anyway, it was their secret).
they focus on fighting over nat again, just like old times, but obviously it doesn't work: lottie uses nat as an excuse to keep misty with them, misty gets crazy over lotties jealousy of nat...
they keep this chaotic dynamic until nat dies - misty stays in bed for weeks, mourning, and lottie is sent back to the mental facility, against her will. without natalie, they're both the outcasts again, so they try to bond with shauna. lottie tries to stay at her house, learning about her family and befriending callie, while misty tries to do the same she used to do with natalie, she wants shauna to do road trips and solve mysteries with her.
the day shauna asks misty to babysit callie (and lottie, lol) they have such a weird reunion, both mourning and with so many unresolved feelings. misty is clearly mad with lottie, but lottie comforts her and, again, they become each others safe haven.
that's when they start remembering the old times - slowly.
someone write this please........
#NEEDTHAT
The 90s were such a golden era for media and culture in general. Songs, movies, shows, books... Romance was in the air, but also the grunge aesthetic, the pop divas, the indie films — the raw emotions!
With the "90s" theme, we´re able to see Misty and Nat through the lens of this chaotic and incredible decade: flannels, mixtape confessions, late-night diner hangs, and maybe even a dial-up romance…

juliette leaving really changed everything... AND WE COULD HAVE HAD CANON ADULT MISTYNAT 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I firmly believe Misty and Nat were supposed to be the two final girls. It’s been them since the beginning the savior and the knight. The saint and the harbinger of death. The only reason nat died is because only another final girl can kill a final girl
what if i killed myself
You've been here for me in a way that no one has.
