#natvan

Many ppl headcanon Nat and Van as childhood friends and brothers and that's alright!! Everyone's entitled to their own opinion but I just,, don't see it??? Like, Natalie was always one to be closed off unless it was Tai, Lottie, Misty or Travis so it doesn't make sense to me to hc the 2 characters that barely interacted w e/o as besties but ok, I guess

What DOES make sense is the taivanshauna of it all. And even the Laura Lee/Lottie/Van/Jackie/Mari 'cause it was right there! But ykw? I'm exhausted of trying to point out how pocs are disregarded by this fandom

imo, Taissa, Van and Shauna are the friendship that really reminds us how they never changed and how friendship can be both tight and still remain a complete stranger to e/o

—who drifted to different social circles but link up to catch up and smoke a blunt every month , and van was the one to convince nat to join the soccer team

⤷ ft. them and the other little boy from the trailer park who got taken to another state by CPS when they were nine. they never saw him again. i like to think van runs into him at some point later, maybe at a camp or something.
