Can We Talk About The Fact That Vaggies Backstory/falling In Love With Charlie Is Just A Really, Really

My film camera arrived today!

It's a pentax km, and it's first film camera I've owned. Unless you count disposable cameras or my grandpas old one, but like that one has a busted viewfinder meaning mechanically it works, but like you're risking it in terms of what you're shooting ehh. Cause it's really just shooting blind and film is fucking expensive so no way I was risking it. Anyways i'm super hyped, I love analog photography and it's been consuming me. Before my interest was contained to videos i found online because no one I know seems to be interested. But now I can a. Forces them to acknowledge the subject when i bring it up and b. Actually take photos myself, which is so fucking exciting jsut as an idea. Like I can now actually do stuff other then just what shooting would be like theoretically

Anyways I'm getting rambly but I really just wanted to share this with someone even if it's a stranger on tumblr

there was once an old law that any series with a fandom had to have a meme of this. Anyway

Does Hilary Swank play adult Melissa?

It's been revealed that Hilary Swank will play an unspecified character in Yellowjackets season 3. A popular theory is that she's going to play adult Melissa, which I do believe is a high possibility, as well as being the person who left the tape at Shauna's house and the phone at the restaurant. Shauna and Melissa's kiss scene in the teen timeline was juxtaposed with Shauna asking about the phone and learning a woman came to retrieve it, so I can't see it being anything but foreshadowing.

But there is a specific reason that makes me believe Hilary is playing adult Melissa. In a close-up in the season 3 trailer, it seems like this woman she's playing has blue eyes.

Hilary Swank has naturally brown eyes. I can't see many reasons why they'd make the actress wear blue contact lenses other than because she's playing the adult version of a teen character who has blue eyes.

Melissa does have blue eyes, and given Jenna was cast before, it makes sense they'd make the actress who plays her adult version wear blue contact lenses to match the already-established character. It's most common to give light-eyed people darker contact lenses since it does tend to look more natural (hence why Sophie and Sammi, who have blue eyes, wear brown contact lenses to fit their adult counterparts, and Tawny who has green eyes too). So if they are making Hilary wear blue contact lenses (which do look a bit darker than Jenna's eyes), it's probably because it's essential to the character. They might have given them a darker shade of blue so it wouldn't look too jarring on her.

Other reason why I think adult Melissa might be the one who left the phone is because Shauna asked for a physical description of the woman. We don't hear it, but perhaps she was simply told the woman was blond. That might explain why Shauna assumed it was Misty. As for who is seemingly attacking Hilary's character in the trailer (prompting her to say "you really are insane") it might be Callie. If she listened to the tape before Shauna and decided to confront that woman, the reaction might be because Callie reminds Melissa of Shauna, it's her realising "she's just like her mother".

I don't know if she's necessarily the one who cut the van's break thought, that might be a misdirect. She might have been trying to warn Shauna about a potential threat. The trailer paints her too much as the new antagonist for me to think she is. This might be a red herring.

But that's more of a speculation and theory. The main takeaway here is that I do think it's likely that she's going to play adult Melissa.

How's this story for you? Once upon a time, a bunch of teenage girls got stranded in the Wilderness, and they went completely fucking nuts. They worshipped evil spirits, and they hunted their friends, and they feasted on their flesh, and they fucking liked it. So they told themselves stupid fairy tales and pretended they were brave and strong. Because the reality was that even if rescue came, they could never go home again. Because of what they'd done. Because of what they'd become. That's the truth.

YELLOWJACKETS — Season 3 (2025)

wlw/mlm hostility 💥

I would give anything for a van and Laura lee friendship

Guys, there can't be another doomcoming, istg. Lottie is already drugging him, dude had to eat his brother. I don't even like Travis, but just leave him alone with his duck 😓🦆🙏

same tho tbh-

Charlie has some interesting contacts in her phone, it's also adorable she has some of the egg bois on there

Lottielee Everything Everywhere All at Once AU where in every single universe out there, they never fall in love with each other, except for the one where their plane crashes.

In some universes, they meet each other and run in similar circles. In other universes, they’re oceans apart, and the possibility of them even passing each other by on the street is so significantly small.

In all of these other universes, they turn out just fine. They live common lives as normal people who don’t know that in only one out of millions, if not billions, of other universes out there, they hold each other’s hearts.

They never have to suffer losing each other in all the other universes because they only fall in love once. Still, it’s in that one, singular universe where Lottie suffers and Laura Lee dies that things finally go right.

It’s the only universe in existence where they find love. The tragedy is that no matter how powerful that love is, nothing stops Laura Lee from dying. Nothing stops Lottie from losing a piece of herself that she tenderly placed in Laura Lee’s care.

All the different Lotties and Laura Lees in other universes never find their way to each other. They never experience the cruelty of fate as it rips one of them away from the other. However, they also never experience happiness the way they do in that one singular universe where they’re together.
