La maldición de las cuatro brujas

[slayernina]

greetings, friend! i hope you are well! feel free to ignore this if it's a bother, but with yellowjackets s3 finally in production, i thought i may buzz a little in your inbox! 🐝whoo is your fave character? fave scene in s1? fave scene in s2? what do you want for s3? on the other hand, is there something you do not want in s3??

Hi! Spoilers coming! I want to know yours too, btw

Fave character:

Misty. Damn, she is soooooo fun to watch both as a teen and as an adult. Plus there isn't a lot of women socyopaths (or whatever she is) on screen.

Followed closely by Natalie (she just rocks) and unpopular opinion, Shauna.

Fave scene of season 1:

Jackie's feast, of course. It was so well filmed, so visceral, and on top of that the Roman setting...

Another minor faves were the first scene (so misterious) and the plane crashes -the Yellowjackets and Laura Lee's (I'm a sucker for plan crashes, don't sue me).

Fave scene of season 2:

The birth. It makes you think it will suck and the baby will die slowly on screen but oooops, Shauna wakes up and the reality hit you like a train.

The girls choosing their sacrifice, Misty accidentally killing her friend, the girls chasing Javi and the cabin burning were also brutal.

What I want for season 3:

Some kind of resolution for everything, I can't think the show can continue for much longer, to be honest.

-Discover the identity of Pit Girl.

-The meaning of the pictures carved on trees.

-How they are going to survive the cabin burnt.

-When they are going to chase and eat Scott.

-More Natalie (teen and adult), please. I want her having a proper farewell.

-More about the Antler Queen.

-Specially, more insight into the girl's life before the crash, that part was a bit lacking but the stakes for all of them were interesting on their own to have their own episode like Natalie's more or less did (from where Shauna's obsession with perfection comes from, if Jackie had something hidden on her life, Lottie's parental abandonment and mental sickness, Misty's parents dealing with her or Misty dealing with bullying, Van's white trash life and how it was for Taissa being a biracial lesbian child in the 80s/90s)... Maybe even something from Scott, Travis & Javi

Agree with all of this ^^ 

Mostly Billy’s isolation this season was for plot conveniences, like all the kids and teens seem to don’t have parents or teachers at all, or the doting parents conveniently forget about their childs in the moment they are the Fellowship of Eleven. I get that an annoying adult character would derail all the action fom our heroes, but some lame explanation would be fine and less contriving (like Steve’s parents on a business trip on season 1 and Erica mentioning she was supossed to be at some other child house on s3). An adult coming would mean said adult involved in the Upside Down plot (and they are already overstuffed of characters) or killed soon (which is a pity because some of them are adorable -hi Bob!-). And there is a limit of characters you can kill before Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy kicks in (looking at you, Game of Thrones) 

The 1st person Flayed!Billy encountered was Karen Wheeler. At this point, he wasn’t still stumbling around and has the T-shirt on, which no matter how we joke about it, wearing a T-shirt and messy sweaty hair at a pool in summer is not a red flag. 

Those curls were Hawkins’ magic or something.

Billy goes to that room, Karen follows and we have the character who is clearly demanding a direct interpersonal interaction and checking on the wellbeing of Billy, staying in the middle of the dark. Plus, said characters are placed to not look at the other face. Then, Billy goes out, now a little stumbling but Karen was kept inside. If they have just filmed the scene with the characters in the sunny outside and face-to-face, I’m sure Karen would had realise something was wrong.

Heather fails to spot Billy is on bad shape in the 1 second interaction they have, as well as the moms. But surely someone looking would have think Billy just had a hangover (something as a reknown wild party boy would has), since he was still moving quite fine. It is not until he came back inside and stumbled upon someone Heather reacts and see something is really wrong. If you look closely, Karen and the usual pool moms that check Billy were not there.

We don’t know if Billy fell sleep or the hallucination with the Upside Down people lasted just a few seconds, but realistically, anyone at the pool has other things to do than check the lifeguard full hour. As per other people, if Heather managed to reach her dad’s coworkers, and among the army of Flayed there were policemen, doctors and all kind of people, Billy could have flayed the other lifeguards.

Ignore what the Party say, still appropiate attire and attitude for the pool

Susan and Neil were never in sight this season. Neil would beat the shit out of Billy because of the car crash. And Max notes when Billy is there or not, so... Basically, Billy didn’t came home for like 3-4 days or something, or he just isolated in his room somehow. If we accept the parents were outside, Max would have noted something, even if Billy has the habitude of stay only in his room, they should have interacted at some point. Which maybe was for the best, because he knows Max knows Eleven. Maybe Billy restrained himself and searched for Flayed somewhere else.

Basically, bad parenting mixed with objectification with lame writing.

Also, it fits the running theme of Stranger Things about bad communication skills and things that are not what they look like, and the Mind Flayer using bodies, so the objectified body who was all broken inside was perfect for him.

That’s why Billy’s death was so unfair, as a character and as product of entertainment.

In season 2 we have this terrifying over the top villain. We can see how Dacre Montgomery enjoys to chew the scenery.

In season 3 we have this character doomed since the beginning, since nobody (except Max, only the Child and The New) cared and the Mind Flayer crushing his organs, and Dacre Montgomery crying is eyes out on a memorable perfomance.

This is what I’m angry about his demise: the lost possibilities.

I don’t think he deserves the heel realization of Steve. Steve evolves from “Steve the jock bf” to “Steve the one between OTP NancyxJonathan” to “Mom Steve” we all love.

Billy was a bully, a jerk and probaly a socyopath. But he could have become not Mom Billy, but Uncle Billy. We could have had a scene of Billy driving the Party and allies to save the world, with rock music. We could have had teaching Max to surf because surf is cooler than skateboarding. We could have had teaching her to ride his Camaro with scenes full of Snark-to-Snark combat. We could have him scaring Lucas about to not break up with Max (again), because Max as a pain in the ass she is, she is still his lil sis. We could have him bonding with Eleven because she saved him and both have losts Moms. We could have had an akward conversation with Karen, they end as friends and he came home with more cookies, some of them to give to Max and maybe Eleven. We could have had endless bickering with Steve, Jonathan and Erica. We could have had rolling eyes everytime a D&D’s word appears. We could have had a scene trying to flirt with Robin, she telling him she’s lesbian, and Billy asking for a Threesome with Tammy. Hell, we could have had a scene in which he punches a Demodog in the face because He’s Like That.

Billy is fully isolated on the season. It’s full narrative and character arc is disconnected from the rest. After Max trying to emasculate him on season 2, he seems to grow weary of her. The dynamics in the family should have be change. But we never see it. I suppose Max is sad and worried for him since, after all, he’s her stepbrother, lives in her house, they had known each other since a very long time, the abused tend to defend their abuser (the only reason why Neil Hargrove was not one of the Flyed) and she makes a point about he was not so jerk before, he got angrier and angrier over the time and she knew she was not guilty for it.

The Party only has scenes with him in the sauna episode.

Any of the adults, Jonathan and Nancy have a scene with him. Even worse, Nancy try to shoot him in the head. I understand the survival instinct, and I cheer everytime Nancy picks up a gun, but come on. It was too much, writers.

Steve doesn’t have a scene with him, he just crashed the car against Billy’s Camaro. I understand the point of trying to save your friends during a crisis, but again, come on.

He doesn’t even know who is Eleven, Robin and Erica.

If Billy is dead for real, his death was fully overshadowed by Hopper’s. And we all know Hopper is going to come back. There is no funeral. We don’t know how Billy’s family deal with his death. We don’t have a scene of Max fixing the Camaro or trying his jacket on because the jacket looks so badass. We don’t know how Karen Wheeler feels about this. #JusticeforBilly

The only way to fix this now is via flashbacks, showing stuff of the time in between the roguerish scene of Max and the bat, and the Mind Flayer. Make him appears in some of Eleven’s dreamy/mental scenes as some sort of guide because the entity of whatever has a bit of Billy’s conscience there and Eleven needs a (good) mental representation to interact with.

If Billy is not dead, then, please be him “the American”. Billy wakes up on the morgue, the alien possession regenerates him because it evolves, and the gov “stole” his body (and the Soviets stole it again). The body of the funeral is fake. A traumatised Billy with (or not) powers with the acting ability of Montgomery can be good TV. And season 4 is about to rescue Billy and Hopper, who is in the Upside Down. An alternative is Hopper as the American, but Billy wakes up somewhere in the cliffanger ending scene of the season. That would be less expected by the audience than only “Hopper is the American”.

At least, we can have fanfics.

And his death was metal as fuck.

My other metas here

Buy me a ko-fi!

so here’s the thing: no one around billy noticed that something was wrong until heather heard him screaming in the showers. no one noticed that he was literally stumbling out of the locker room and around the pool deck, no one noticed how sick he looked or how “off” he seemed. because no one actually cared about him. they thought he was cute. he was eye candy. he was something nice to look at, someone fun to flirt with. he was an object. he was a plaything. he was a distraction from an otherwise mundane life. but no one actually gave a shit about him. no one looked at him hard enough to take notice when something was terribly, seriously wrong. even heather told him he was “looking good” when he could barely walk in a straight line. (and don’t get me wrong, because i adore heather and love that she is the only person who showed genuine concern for him - even though, in retrospect, it would have been safer for her to leave him be). 

it just goes to show that he literally had nobody in his life that actually cared for him. even the people that admired him, the people whose (albeit misguided and morally gross) praise he fed off of, didn’t care enough to notice that something wasn’t quite right. nobody looked at him like a person. he was literally a boy who was hurting deeply and awfully and who needed someone to help him and no one spared a second glance. 

and, like, okay yeah that’s why he was vain and cocky. it explains a lot about how he acts, as a young teenage boy without a single positive influence in his life, but would it kill just one person to notice that this kid needs some serious help.

Some notes:

He was an ass, but Enzo with the cape was a #look.

Also his commitment to grow his sideburns to do that curl.

His civilian looks are soooo evil accountant French Canadian that I can't even.

Even his damn nazi coat.

Some notes:

Darcy, we will miss you forever.

This character should have stood more. Her socyopathy and relationship with Don E was just simply soooo cute.

I like how before Blaine, she was wearing more standard clothes, when she went into his gang, she has more of a punk/dark style, and with Don E's important scenes, it was time of wacky T-shirts. Subtle but nice.

The wedding dress was pretty. The thought of how she died is just terrifying. Don E did well (lame pun intended) killing Blaine.

Some notes:

Ravi uses more greenish sweaters (envy) during the miniarc of the love triangle, and blue (Peyton's colour) before and after. Interesting.

His bath robe reminds me a Sith cape LOL. Very appropriate given how he has that fight with Peyton.

He wears a Flash T-shirt once while complaining about the love triangle to Major. Nice nod to the CW (owner of the Arrowverse) and Sheldon Cooper's in The Big Bang Theory.

There is also a lot of magenta/mauve this season (emotional turmoil meaning, remember?).

Some notes:

Ali Michalka should have appeared more times being sexy.

I usually don't go commenting about actors appeareances (ejem. Yes) but insert Little Women meme *OMG. Not to be a lesbian bi. OMG*. It's no wonder why she was the center of a love triangle with two main characters (usually it's the protagonist who get that role). I'm glad that despite the fact how well build the actress is, they went with Peyton the serious/smart one, instead of going for the Slutty Bimbo Friend.

She can walk over me at any time.

Her Halloween costume is so cute.

Peyton in sweatpants has more grace than 99% of Oscar party goers.

THE LEGENDARY SOCKS. AWWW. It's also a little nod to Ravi, the socks are for him exclusively. Blaine or any other character never got Peyton in socks. #PAVI4EVER.

Also all her professional looks are great. Simple but nice. I think it's the hair.

Visually, Peyton's palette is blue or black. Somehow that matches with Major, like both of them were Liv's best friends, backup and extra circle (Liv's first circle was Ravi with the job and the zombie world, Clive only for job and Blaine only for zombie).

Some notes:

It was short, but intense.

Kudos to the make up department. The actor really looks dead.

You know you left an impression if after 3 minutes of screentime (half of them dead) you get a contract as a secondary character and antagonist for 4 seasons more. Congrats, Bryce. You are such an underrated actor.

Some notes:

Probably it would have been used for laughs because of how thematically the character was, but Bryce Hodgson should have appeared shirtless at least once.

I really dig into Don E's wardrobe. Is so wacky and fun to watch at the same time.

He looks so different with hair/without hair. You can pinpoint the exact scene in which he turns into zombie.

Nice raccord, by the way. The yellow T-shirt outfit in one episode is reused in another later (in which Speedy shows Mr. Boss those two from "days ago".

Also it's weird to watch a young male going bald onscreen. We know how Hollywood is (looking at you, Nicolas Cage's wigs of awesomeness).

Such a pity we never had a Blaine's piano and Don E's banjo duet in the show.

Some notes:

Candy fascinates me as a character. I just love women in Mafia settings.

From one scene extra whose presence solved the case without interacting with any character to semi regular character with her own plot. Nice job, Carrie Anne Fleming. You pulled a Bryce Hodgson with even less material to work with.

The bangs look cute on her.

Also bonus points to put a woman over 35 as the eye candy (lame pun intended). **Looking at you, Hollywood**

Some notes:

She was in clothes stolen from The Nanny's closet at her first appearances on season 1 and 2, cementing her status as a bimbo.

She went on more professional looks (yet still absurd) during season 2, marking her ascension as cosmetician.

The red saloon dress lives rent free in my mind. Ironically, once she became a Madame, that dress passed to a younger blond waitress that appears regularly as a background extra both in Shady Plots and the Scratching Post (I call her Candy 2.0).

Pic of her ass because reasons.

She turned into zombie after sleeping with Blaine in a coffin while he was playing the piano in boxers. #Iconic.

Some notes:

She went on more bold blues (one of Blaine’s colours) and make up on season 3 until she gets rejected. Then she switched to his opposite palette (red). The red top was the show's equivalent of Lady Di's revenge dress.

Some notes:

She appears always with gloves from season 4 onwards. It reminds classic Madames, but also, that her fingers were cut by Angus (seriously. I can’t find a clear picture of her fingers without gloves after that episode and her left fingers really seem missing on season 2 and 3).

The Russian Roulette scene has the sleeping mask in the same style as the red saloon dress. Nice callback as her status as Blaine's Bitch, in more than one way.

Some notes:

Candy genuinely enjoying Peyton’s karaoke performance warms my heart. Damn, she was so cute. She should have interacted with the heroes more.

The printed leopard shirt in her last scene at the Scratching Post. That woman is looking for blood. 

The red leather jacket was sooo cool. I want one. She spitted on Blaine’s face and exited the show as the queen she is.

Some notes:

Daniel Bonjour should have appeared more times shirtless.

Boyfriend killed #3

Patch? Seriously? A hockey player that is the next dead boyfriend? I love lame puns.

Levo's style is Major mixed with Drake but with a muted greenish colour palette.

Green is not just the colour of envy, it is associated also with wild nature and military. It fits his rebel status. Season 4 was green's season, like referencing Levon and guerrilla. It was the season of the green militaryesque jackets and the jaded jeans, in huge contrast between the greys and blues of Fillmore Graves, and the reddish and blacks of Blaine's realm.

Definitely, iZombie follows the Power Rangers colours school.

Daniel Bonjour's ass because reasons.

His progressive investement in Zombie High LOL

His necknacle is consistent through all the season.

Some notes:

She should have stood around longer. Damn, the character was interesting. My theory is that her role would have been expanded on a season 6. Anyway. SHE. FUCKING. DESTROYED. BLAINE.

Her outfits looks always professional. She is going to work, not to have a good time.

Except the flashy golden dress. I just love it, but very few people could pull that off.

As my roommate says, she is Evil Peyton. Period.

Have you noticed how with Blaine she is always wearing even darker colours but with Liv and Mr. Boss her style just light up a bit in the trousers part? The girl is just happy to destroy Blaine.

Some notes:

Longest season, insane amount of outfits.

Season 2 wigs were the best, because they left Liv's side down fully (and that helped to "blend" the wig).

The iconic three pocket jeans appear for the first time. It gives a simple, functional, comfortable look that has a lot of combinations. I just love the three pocket jeans. Such a pity it will dissapear mid season 3.

I love Bro!Liv crime scene dress. It's such a good Halloween costume.

All outfits worn on 2x03 (Seattle's housewife) are a #look. It's also the first time she stilized her zombie hair.

I also dig a lot the Country Singer, for some reason.

Liv's ID on 2x03 is clearly fake. Noone looks that good on an ID.

Probably this is the only actual show in which sexting are used for tasteful reasons and not for revenge. Nice.

The magician's looks (2x07) are among my favourites.

The blue/black leather jacket was cute. Never seen of a leather jacket like this one.

It's no wonder why Major freaked out while watching Liv performing an ouija scene.

Liv should have roamed the city with her superhero costume more.

Liv + Christmas hat. Awww.

The Fifty Shades of Grey episode (2x11) was a gem to watch little details of the character's costumes. Also, nice looks Liv.

Rose McIver's ass because reasons.

You can spot when is really winter in Vancouver Seattle because of the clothes and the actors' breath in exteriors.

Liv in flannel because she was dating Drake. LOL.

The reddish shirt has a sparkly butterfly in her back. Awww.

I loved the blue/black stripped shirt with a black top underneath. Punk vibes.

Scientist!Liv with glasses kinda look like the protagonist of a porn movie. LOL. Also she was ditched in a place called Heave Ho's.

Liv's wears a blue nightgown with matching slippers. LOL.

Stripper!Liv was also the best and lives rent free in my mind.

Liv wears the same dress for Coach!Liv and HighAchieverStudent!Liv but with different shirts. I remark this one because is one of the most distinctive dresses of the show.

Liv is the cutest SWAT ever. She can tackle me anytime.
