subtle foreshadowing
I think the thing about the existence of the wilderness (in the supernatural sense) is that there was some sort of supernatural element out there with them. I say this because there are inexplicable elements to the show (no eyed man, Jackie's dying hallucination, Van's seeing things as she was dying). But that thing did not make them do the things they did.
Let's think about it here. When Lottie was speaking French, she said "it wants blood". Someone translated it fully (I don't remember who so if someone wants to tag them), the French translated to something like "I gave it offerings, but it wants blood. Yet blood doesn't mean death. You can get a papercut and bleed.
Which brings me to my point. The wilderness gives them something when there's blood. Not when there's death. When they were on their periods, they were eating better. When the plane crashed, van survived because of the blood spilled. During the seance, the spirit left Lottie when she was bleeding. When Shauna got a nosebleed on the symbol, the birds fell from the sky. At doomcoming, slitting Travis's throat brought the bear. When Laura Lee flew the plane, it saved Van. As Shauna was giving birth, Travis cutting his palm saved Shauna's life.
They have to spill blood to get what they want. They don't have to kill.
That's the whole point. There is something out there with them, but the girls are also crazy. It was just them. Them who decided to kill.
at its core yellowjackets is a show about peaking in high school. except the peak was a collection of some of the worst things that could ever happen to a human being
I was going to write a meta on why Jackieβs reciprocated feelings for Shauna are so blatant when you read between the lines of her scenes, but just letting the show speak for itself in video form makes it even clearer. I love how much their relationship is layered in subtext and double meaning, and the further into the show we get the more this is all cemented as totally intentional.
Tai: Unfollow me if you think the Earth is flat. Mari: *seriously pretends to be a flat-earther to antagonize tai" Nat: *neutral but makes polls to start fights, "Is the Earth flat? Let's discuss!"* Van: not a flat-earther but makes "the Earth may be flat but this ass ain't" jokes for viral tweets. Lottie: actual flat-earther.
