alive dead girl

ricci has been obsessed w lewis since the 90s bc she looked up to her as a fellow young actress known for playing edgy roles to the point where she asked people who knew lewis what she ate and wore and drank so she could emulate her and years later heard juliette was throwing a party so she crashed it uninvited just to get a chance to meet her

both of them rose to fame very young during a really fucked up era of hollywood full of abusers which has kind of radicalized them in opposite ways (ricci is a no-nonsense misandrist while lewis is a cult survivor among other things so she's very prone to conspiratorial thinking and defending abusers out of misplaced sentimentality) so once they finally got to work together in the 2020s it was both a dream come true but also they fought all the time

they're out there beefing to this day they're seen crying/arguing/hugging at airports following/unfollowing/refollowing each other on socmed with juliette rage quitting the show straight up walking out because she hates the writing just to get lured back into doing yj panels at conventions but ONLY if she gets to hang out with ricci (preferably with no one else) and talk about their characters...

oh and when they played misty and nat in s1 ricci was going crazy with pregnancy hormones which is in huge part why misty looks so flushed and horny all the time while nat looks so horny because juliette had just finished playing a butch lesbian in a different show and would not stop thinking or talking about nat having lesbian sex in almost every yj interview
