One of the things I just adore about the fannon portrayal of Jehan Prouvaire is how most people depict him as effeminate or nonbinary, somewhat introverted, shy, and disinclined to aggression, but they do so with nuance.

Jehan isn't shown to be defenseless or weak-willed, he fights for what he believes in and generally doesn't fall into that delicate twink stereotype. So often, I find the characters I relate to most cannot be shown as both the queer, eccentric, and introverted type as well as the assertive and strong character. Jehan stands out, however.

Alright y’all, I caved. Meet Ursula, my Yellowjackets OC. She’s the resident goth girl on the team, and actual practicing witch. Basically, me as a teen but punched up to the max. Her favorite film is definitely the Craft, and she has many criticisms on 90’s Hollywood’s portrayals of magic (no, we’re not all Wiccans and Vegans 🙄). She’s also a talented artist who loves graphic novels and manga, and hopes to one day make her own series (which will become her downfall later). She only did soccer as punishment from her parents, who hoped it would “snap some sense into her” and make her “goth phase” a short-lived one. Joke’s on them though, because now she’s more angry bitter and disillusioned than ever, plus gained a healthy outlet for her rage as center forward. And now, after spending a year lost in the wilderness with her teammates, that rage has only honed itself into a finely-tuned feral machine.

She wasn’t always so aggressive tho- at least, not to the undeserving. She actually bonded with Nat first, way back when she started on JV. The two had an instant camaraderie as the outcasts of the team, and cool older girl Nat was sort of a role model for baby Ursula. When they snuck away from practice one day to go smoke behind the bleachers, that was when Nat actually discovered Ursula never liked to partake in drugs or drinking, and would always fake it to “seem cool” to the other edgy kids. Ursula had never confided that in anyone else before, and Nat actually had mad respect for the fake-smoking trick Ursula used to fool the onlookers. Nat promised never to tell anyone her secret, and from then on, the two were real friends as well as teammates. The rest of the girls took some time to wam up to her though, since Ursula definitely played up the “scary goth witch” mask when around them. Didn’t help that she was built like a tank too, and taller than most girls on the team, which added more to the “don’t fuck with me” attitude she already projects. This came in useful for their winning streak, but meant that most didn’t really know how to act around her off the field. Once stranded in the wilderness though, that all changed. She was one of the first to take to the gore as a necessity of survival. Once Misty chopped off Coach’s leg, the switch flipped inside to “emergency calm mode” and she used that tank-like strength to help get as many people off the plane and away from danger as possible. Maybe she even was the one who got Van out of that seat, just ripping the seatbelt off by the hinges and carrying her away to safety (listen- it’s my sapphic OC, let me have my one moment with Van pls 😅). Regardless, it was the first time the team wasn’t outright scared of her raw intensity, and saw that underneath all the rage and angst, was a genuinely caring person who would do anything for her team’s survival. But that doesn’t mean she’s without her flaws. And like Lottie, she already could see the value in the supernatural, and had a connection to the other forces at work even before they touched down in the forest. Her first instinct on finding the abandoned cabin would also be “fuck no, this place is deffo cursed, we can’t stay here”, and probably would’ve even had a standoff fight with them about finding some other type of shelter before being out-voted. Finding the skeleton in the attic wouldn’t help matters either, and I think she’d be the first to try to cleanse the space with some sort of smudging or spell work. She would’ve 10000% mediated that terrible seance of Jackie’s too, making it either better or worse because of the validity her witchcraft would’ve added to it. She wouldn’t have just followed Lottie’s cult, I think she would’ve added to it as a co-leader. Or some sort of magic consultant at least. I think the two would’ve bonded over the unseen that they could both feel, and maybe argued about the nature of it, but would’ve for sure still taken it seriously the same way. I know my girl wouldn’t have left home without bringing her candles, crystals, and tarot cards with her, so there would’ve been those lovely additions to the rituals as well. Maybe Nat tries to reason with Ursula more as a conduit to Lottie, begging her to talk some sense into her when things go too far, but by that point, the magical evidence would outweigh other logic for Ursula, and I could see it being one of their first major fights as friends. 😥

Pluuuuus… she would haaate Travis. Sorry y’all. The man is still exactly the type of toxic asshat that I personally hated as a teen, and the fact that he treats her bff Nat so bad for the whole first season would’ve made him #1 on her shit list. I think she definitely would’ve hexed him, and she probably would’ve encouraged his sacrifice during their doom-coming incident. Maybe would’ve even been the one with a knife to his throat instead of Shauna. However… I don’t think she would’ve blamed Jackie. I think she would be against the slut-shaming aspect of it, and also still see that as Travis’ mistake, since he had an obligation to Nat if he really loves her. Jackie as the other woman is just sort of a non-crime, especially since Nat even agreed it’s not Jackie’s fault, so I think she might’ve weighed in on her defense with that. (not that it would’ve changed much lol) There’s so many more parts to go through and add her into, but the most important one really is what happens way later, in their adult life. After being rescued, all the women go into a sort of hiding period, where they all integrate back into society and kind of lay low in their secrecy pact. At first, Ursula is 100% fine with that, wants nothing to do with them, even if it pains her to not talk to Natalie sometimes- but the way she’s gone down into her multiple binges and drug spirals makes it hard to contact her anyway. And Misty would’ve been ecstatic for the company, no doubt, but as much as she’s amused by that little freak, she’s too aware of what a close relationship with Misty Quigley would turn into (and she’s pretty sure Misty would only get close to her so she could crush on Nat by proxy). So. The only thing to try to do really is move on…. and channel everything into her art. At first it’s all abstracted and darker pieces- one off paintings or beginnings of comics that don’t go anywhere- not because she can’t finish them, but because it would be revealing too much of the truth on paper, something she still keeps her promises about. That is, until one day about a decade later, when she gets the idea for a fictional graphic novel that can disguise the truth by using another popular supernatural trope: Vampires. The same bloodshed, human feeding, and feral behavior can easily be translated into a vampire comic, while still using traits from her teammates in the other characters. She knows it’s risky, but dammit, it’s been about a decade now… and the weight of it all has been eating at her like it does all of them, to the point where she just /has/ to create something about it. If only to get it out of her own body. She even puts it under an alias just to be extra safe, but naturally, the comic becomes a big hit and the real author is uncovered, as well as all the speculations that come with it.

She publicly insists it’s just a fictional story, based on nothing but imagination, but fan-theories and deep dives circulate, the internet making comparisons to the hinted at clues, and pairing the characters with their irl counterparts a little too accurately. And honestly, she’d be lying if she said deep, deep, deeeep down she wasn’t a little bit hoping for them to put the pieces together. She sees this portrayal as sort of a lasting tribute to their fallen teammates- since the truth of their demise could never go public, at least in this way she could honor their memory. Of course this all reaches the attention of the survivors, and I feel it would be a nice additional drama to Tai’s career as a senator, or even as a replacement for that arc. Anyway if you’ve read this far, congrats and my many thanks. I’m still thinking up stuff for this girl- maybe enough to even write a fic, who knows? But I’m having fun for now.

I love how my colleagues who are the exact same age as me (Gen Z) have to explain to me the newest pop culture trends and phrases.

finally saw priscilla today and while the aesthetics were absolutely gorgeous (a true sofia coppola film) the movie overall was just very.......bland. like i went in with a very basic understanding of the relationship (naive girl and much older manchild celebrity) and i pretty much left feeling like i didnt learn anything new. it was like we were only given a surface level interpretation of both elvis and priscilla......especially priscilla which was the most disappointing. and while the film wasnt bad it just wasnt that.....great? it was just meh in the way that it felt like it didnt have much to say. or was afraid to say anything significant at all

And by the way just to add some like...angst to my sea beast s/i I guess 😂 I was thinking about the research I did into old selkie folk tales and how they typically tend to go and how it applies to my s/i with Batterbie stealing her coat.

1. She did it when she was still just a child and had lost her whole family, so she probably holds that over her head by saying she's lucky to have had a place to stay and food to eat at ALL and 2. That she could have it...a LOT worse 😬
