for some reason all u can think about is what the yellowjackets would do if they were in stranger things?? like if it was them dealing with the mind flayer n shit. they’re definitely way different than the kids are obviously but their roles in the group can be somewhat similar.
lottie would be will, without a doubt. the only other person i think you could even make an argument for is taissa.
lottie gets will bcuz she’s the starting incident of all the hysteria involving the wilderness. mental game obviously.
i think jackie would be mike — i don’t think she and lottie would be best friends, though. i still think that would be shauna. i imagine she’s just particularly close to them as a whole and keeps shauna sane as someone she can talk to abt jackie.
lottie knows about her fat crush on jackie and the fact that shauna and jeff have slept together.
if anyone tries to tell me van and max aren’t perfect then honestly gtfo 😤 i don’t need to explain that
bcuz of van, i like taissa in lucas’ role but she’s not really a voice of reason that much. she does, though, kind of pull away from the group to do politics like lucas does basketball. tired of being bullied and wanting to move out in the world
but I also think we could have natalie in his role, where he’s pulling away from his friends to be cool and popular. that would be natalie pulling away from the team and falling into worse habits because she isn’t getting any better. kinda like this more
that leaves dustin primarily. the biggest brain of the group. misty, thank you, again — do I need to explain?
i also keep thinking about shipping natalie and eddie for some reason?? idk i feel like he could help her get away from the alcoholism and start mentally recovering. they probably smoke hella weed together.
& when natalie starts getting better and comes back to the team after a couple weeks of being away and ignoring all of them, they notice she’s a little happier. it’s not all the time, but she’s starting to smile again
jackie notices it especially and she’s never been more proud. she makes a special effort to get the basketball team to leave the hellfire club alone. jason doesn’t stop, but the rest of the team does. jeff gives jason major shit abt being a dickhead
