how we feeling Caitvi shippers?

My Clematis

i’m tired of seeing lottienat be mischacterized as a popular girl x loner/outcast dynamic when, in reality, they’re BOTH canonically outcasts with very few genuinely close friends pre-crash. it’s why lottie slides into the role of group leader so well; she’s not used to people genuinely admiring or looking up to her back home. it’s why natalie meets her with such resistance; she’s fine being an outcast, being alternative—, hell, sometimes she even seems proud of it—, and she can’t believe lottie would give in to all that wilderness bullshit for what she perceives to be no other reason than community. natalie is the one who comforts lottie when she wakes up in the middle of the night for a reason. she’s the one who tends to her wounds in the bathtub after shauna pummels her for a reason. it’s because she knows what it’s like to be the the crazy one, the targeted, the outcast, the lonely. stripping them of that shared loneliness changes their dynamic to the point that it’s unrecognizable.

y’all don’t want lottienat, you want jackienat.

I am honestly so exhausted by the fandom discourse about this season right now so here’s my mini rant:

•Disagreeing with the writing/story decisions this season does not make it okay to threaten, harass, or personally insult the writers, showrunners, or actors.

•If someone doesn’t like the season or has criticisms/critiques of the show, it doesn’t mean they “don’t understand” it, nor is it a reflection of their intelligence. People are going to interpret things differently, and there’s no such thing as a “correct” or “incorrect” opinion when it comes to art. I’m honestly so tired of seeing comments like, “Ugh, if someone doesn’t like (insert S3 plotline), they just don’t get the show and shouldn’t be watching it” or “if you don’t like the writing this season you clearly don’t know what good writing is.” Let people have their own perspectives.

•The same goes for people who love S3 and think it’s the best season yet. These people are not “dickriding” the writers, they’re not ignorant or misunderstanding the “true themes of the show.” Once again, people have different opinions, people like/dislike different things. No one’s personal understanding of the show’s content and direction is incorrect.

That is all, thank you.

„Shauna’s character was butchered (haha) this season.“ „She’s cartoonishly evil.“ „Her actions make no sense.“ „No depth“

LOUD AND WRONG PEOPLE !!!

This is all I’ve been seeing on TikTok about season 3 and let’s be honest, TikTok yj fans are the worst but this is plain wrong.

Now, not saying you have to „defend“ Shauna in this season (no one asked u to, babe) but there was still depth to her character in season 3.

I was thrilled to see Shaunas character arc taking a different direction. Season 2 was all tragic and more or less reasonable but this is over now. Shauna is hurt, traumatized and all this hurt turned to anger. She shut herself of from the group but then she still wants power over them, some kind of thing she can be in control of. Because that’s a whole thing for her especially in the adult-timeline. When she gets that little bit of power with Melissa she thrives on it and gets greedy.

When for some reason the other girls don’t really try to stand up to her she lets the power get to her. That’s a classic trope. Starting with something small and getting away with it, to being in charge of the whole group. Not random pretty reasonable timeline.

Grief -> Anger -> Control and Power as an outlet for Anger -> Euphoria ->(Hybris)

That’s where we get the (for me world changing) line about Shauna having fun in the wilderness.

I definitely don’t think this is unreasonable and I strongly dislike people claiming this was bad writing.

Coach Ben: I wanna show you a picture from last night that really upset me

Nat: Ok, but in my defense Shauna bet me 50 cents I couldn’t drink all that shampoo

Coach Ben: That’s not what I wanted to- You drank shampoo?

i actually think there were two separate teams conspiring in the finale. i don’t think mari, akilah, gen, and melissa were working with van, nat, and misty. not because they didn’t want to, but because neither group knew what the other was up to.

mari, akilah, gen, and melissa seemed like they wanted the hunt to happen so they could use it as a cover to kill shauna and lottie. they’re the only two really keeping them stuck out there. mari told shauna, “you deserve everything that’s coming for you,” and then melissa straight-up tackled her and almost killed her like it was planed. akilah literally went after lottie with a brick. the hunt was an opportunity to get rid of the people standing between them and rescue. meanwhile, van, nat, and misty were working on their own plan, one that just happened to benefit from the chaos of the hunt. they didn’t want the hunt either, but it gave nat cover to escape and call for help.

honestly, if either group had known what the other was doing, the hunt probably wouldn’t have been necessary at all. they could’ve just teamed up and jumped shauna and lottie directly.

since the good ones are deceased or taken, i'll just keep on moanin' and bitchin'

Melissa is alive

I know the latest episode said she was dead, but she definitely faked her death. Hilary's character is going to be in ep 8 and in the trailer for that episode, she obviously has blue eyes (Hilary has brown eyes). They wouldn't make her wear blue contacts unless it's essential for her character.

It's confirmed that Hilary isn't playing Alex. If Hilary isn't playing her, I don't see who else she would be playing. It was already confirmed she'd be a recurring character if the show is renewed for s4. She has to play an already established character, aka a survivor. I don't think they'd just introduce a new character like that so far in the story and make her part of the regular cast.

It's very possible that Melissa had to fake her death. We know she will get close to Hannah, and Hannah is definitely going to get killed. The other survivors would probably assume Mel will reveal the truth, so to protect herself, she'd have to fake her death. She is probably the one who sneaked the tape (Hannah might have given it to her). There is a lot of reference to the Princess Bride with Melissa, so it does feel like foreshadowing about her faking her death and coming back later for revenge.

And the synopsis for ep8 mentions a teammate coming back and making Shauna spiral. Given we know Hilary is going to be there, it's probably her. In the trailer she's saying "Does she know what you did? what you are capable of?" If this is Hilary talking to Shauna, then she does know her personally. This isn't a new character. This is Melissa coming back for revenge. For what Shauna did. As foreshadowed by ghost Jackie. What Shauna did after coming back was trying to kill Melissa to silence her.

Why wait 25 years? Personally, I think Melissa would have rather stayed hidden and never seen Shauna again and let them believe she's dead, but with Nat's death, the group possibly being on the news, she got reminded of them. She might even have gone to Nat's funeral and saw Shauna, and all those feelings she got came back and she impulsively decided to start following her around. We do see a blonde woman (prob Hilary) at the bar right after the funeral, watching over them. And later seemingly the same woman outside Shauna's house.

I think ep8 will answer a lot of our questions, but I'm almost 100% convinced Hilary is playing adult Melissa, and she's there to get revenge on Shauna. I don't think she was responsible for the breaks or the freezer, nor did she kill Lottie. But her actions will definitely make her the new prime suspect.
