Great question!! Buckle up.

(There are some that I can think of multiple movies for each one, but I’m just sticking to one for each. If anyone has other suggestions I’d love to hear it!)

Misty - Never Been Kissed | Josie Grossie as played by Drew? This is such a Misty movie.

Tai - Love & Basketball | This taps into Tai’s competitive nature so much. There are others that remind me of her but I wanted to stick to a film with black leads.

Nat - The Outsiders | Oh, how I loved this book and movie. Rough around the edges with a lot of heart. Rebel Without a Cause is another I’d pick.

Shauna - Heathers | This was a hard pick! I settled on it because Shauna reminds me of Veronica in many ways. So smart and aware of social dynamics while also clinging to them. If people have better suggestions I’m all for hearing it.

Lottie - Donnie Darko | Not a comedy per se, but the struggles Donnie faces are very similar to Lottie. I’d also pick the Craft. Open to suggestions for Lottie.

Jackie - Clueless | Miss Queen Bee with a heart of gold is so very Cher Horowitz. There’s a lot of movies that fit Jackie though.

Travis - Stand By Me | Oh, how I love this movie and how it explores masculinity. This is the perfect amount of tenderness that makes me think of Travis.

Van - Ferris Bueller’s Day Off | Surprisingly I struggled with Van! A lot of movies fit my cinephile blorbo. But Ferris has Van’s approach to life and school pretty well. And he’s kind of an ass, like Van 😆.

Akilah - Now & Then | Akilah was hard to place! I think the fact that she’s really loyal and floats among friend groups lends itself to this movie, I also like making parallels to Travis and this movie is a great double feature with Stand By Me.

Mari - Bring It On | It’s witty, it’s sporty, it’s campy. It’s Mari! She’s also very SoCal to me.

Laura Lee - A Walk To Remember | Also not a comedy but she’d love this movie. Every churchy girl I knew loved this movie. It was tied between this and Saved! but I think LL wouldn’t enjoy the negative light of Christianity in that movie. Either way, my girl is riding for Mandy Moore.

Mel - Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure | Mel loves an adventure movie (Princess Bride) and is kind of a himbo with an earnestness. She’d love this. This movie is very VanHat.

Coach Ben - Dead Poet’s Society | I’d like to think Ben had a really important mentor in his high school days that inspired him to want to be a coach.

Gen - Bend It Like Beckham | This is the most Genlissa movie in the world. She’d love it.

I was tagged to list 5 of my favorite movies and let you guys choose your favorite 🤠

Honestly!! I think Jackie has really good taste in movies.

There was like that little list (I’m so lazy at finding screenshots sorry) where Jackie listed some of her favorite movies and they had But I’m A Cheerleader and The Birdcage in there.

I also love that Jackie likes Bruce Willis?? (Like I know she’s gay as the day is long but I do not doubt she doesn’t have a bizarre straight crush on Bruce Willis)

I think Van would want her to watch more gay things. (Sticking purely to pre-‘96 films)

-To Wong Foo

- Priscilla Queen of the Desert

Then her enjoyment of action and horror

-army of darkness

- point break <— I think Jackie and Van would ADORE point break

- tank girl

- hackers

- true romance

Jackie would probably love quoting My Cousin Vinny with Van and Nat

Oooh what a thinker! Gonna rapid fire answers otherwise I could spend eons on this

Mari:

~*~Abercrombie & Bitch~*~ (preppy, sassy, a pun)

Taissa:

Turner tha HBIC 8 (Tiffany pollard reference)

Nat:

razorwire handshake [new ep available for download](her band name, I’m just pulling this out of my ass)

Shauna:

-/*<~Lacrymosa (tear-stained-diary)~>*\- (lil emo would have something long and flowery and would reference some song. I picked Evanescence)

Lottie:

The •Best• Charlotte (a simple name with a cheeky pun)

Travis:

trav the mav (he’d keep it pretty simple)

Van:

Van (the Man) Wilder is NUMBER 1!! (Movie reference, as the goalie would always brag about being number 1, rhyming)

Misty:

Misty Swiftpaw {Twolegs} (I do not read WarriorCats bear with me if naming convention is off)

Melissa:

the angel from ur nightm4re (was literally one of my usernames.. she was hoping Shauna would notice her so they could live like Jack and Sally if they want)

Laura Lee:

Jezuz Freak 420/69 (she is not on MySpace, Van made a fake account for her, shh don’t tell)

Akilah:

Van peered at the foot of the bed in the dark hospital room. The gaunt visage of her younger self stared back at her. The scars were jagged in the flicker of light emanating from a torch they held.

“Look at you…” The younger said. A cruel smile cutting into the scars. She leaned over the bed, wild mane of hair nearly touching Van’s arm.

Van panicked at the heat she could feel from the fire. She tried to squirm away, feeling a pull on her arm.

“Psst! You need to snap out of it before your machine goes off.” Van opened their eyes to see a short woman with a baseball cap plucked on a curly blonde bob.

“Misty? How did you get back here? Where is Tai?”

Misty motioned to the label on her hat, ‘Comcast’. “Excuse me, are you satisfied with your cable service?”

“They seriously let you back here with that?” Get me out of this podunk hospital in god knows where.

“Oh yeah. If there’s anything I’ve learned in my tenure in the Healthcare industry, no sight is more welcome than someone willing to fix a piece of entertainment equipment for a cranky patient.”

Van looked impatiently around. “Why are you in here? I’m fine. Also, where is Taissa?” Van worried that she was going to do something drastic out of fear.

Misty giggled and tilted up her hat. “Oh believe me, it’s a long story.”

“Make it a short one.” Van snapped.

“Well to the surprise of absolutely no one, Shauna ditched out on us.”

“Yeah, go figure. Hunting for the fucking brake-cutter?”

Misty’s grin was devious. “Oh, she found her, alright. A past specter really has haunted our Lady Macbeth.”

Van didn’t bother to decipher Misty’s turn of phrase. “What?”

“Melissa.” Misty said. Her brown eyes twinkled with amusement behind her glasses.

The name hit Van like a penalty kick to the chin. “She’s… dead?”

“Faked it.” Misty replied. “Honestly, I should have trusted my instincts. I always thought it was fishy. That funeral having a closed casket for a hanging? Everyone knows you can just throw a turtleneck on there and call it a day.”

Van’s head was foggy. “So let me get this straight…. All of this fucking bullshit has just been Shauna’s fucking dyke drama?”

Misty laughed. “Right? Exactly my sentiments. Well anyway, Shauna went rogue and went there by herself. She snuck in and got caught.”

Jesus, Shauna, you impulsive moron. Van felt a migraine coming on. They scrunched their face. “By Melissa? Please don’t tell me we have another dead body to deal with.”

Van did not think Misty’s grin could get any larger, yet it did. “Nope. Get this. Hannah’s daughter caught Shauna.”

“Hannah? As in..?”

Misty nodded excitedly.

“What in the ever loving fu—” Van started a violent coughing fit. Misty went over to Van’s machine and adjusted some settings. Van felt a pulse of cool oxygen push into their nose.

Once Van could breathe again, they asked. “Where is Tai?”

Misty rolled her eyes. “So Shauna comes crawwwling back, calling Tai for help, like she always does. ‘Tai, I’m being held hostage!’ Like she wouldn’t have done something heinous if she met Melissa alone. Also since when do you let a hostage use the phone? She’s being paranoid.” Misty continued. “I offered to help, but Shauna refused. She’s not exactly in a place where she can be so censorious about who gets her out of these pickles, but no skin off my nose.”

“Misty, for fucks sake, can you please tell me where Tai is?” Van asked.

Misty chortled. “Oh she went off to Melissa’s of course. Fixing Shauna’s mess. I’m flattered she trusted me to handle you, though you’re being a bit of a diva patient.”

“I’m not your fucking patient, Quigley. We need to get out of here.”

Omg Triss I was literally just thinking about Laura Lee!

I’m glad you like that! I think sometimes people forget that Laura Lee is kind of a squirrelly goofball (like in the locker room and the Montell dance) and we all KNOW that Van is the reason. I could see them dicking around in practice when they’re doing more offense stuff.

And I’m not sure if you’re caught up yet but I shoehorn Julie Andrews in at least a couple more times.

I fucking love Julie Andrews. And Mary Poppins.

I was tagged to tell y'all why I made my blog;

Well, it all started one day at primary school and my bff at the time told me to watch a little anime called Junjou Romantica, which I immediately fell in love w and continued to watch more yaoi after that. Doing this made me crave more content about it and facebook fan pages were not for me so I looked at gifs in google images and some of them brought me here so, I made a blog and never used it but to like stuff and look at gifsets of said yaoi animes, then of other animes and the Pretty Little Liars craze came later on. Then the oitnb hype, the Supergirl one, I started watching Fleabag, then Killing Eve, etc, etc.... And now we're here, w my blog mostly dedicated to Yellowjackets and I'm very happy and proud of it 🤠

Hey, dear pal!!!
