Mari What Are You Doing Using Gaywad As An Insult? Look At Your Team

back together ♡

Everyone always gets on yellowjackets for being fucking weird with the number of  background characters and changing actresses and lacking depth for a lot of said background character and everything all the time but thats the point!!! That’s the point of it!!! All the surviving Yellowjackets are unreliable narrators!!! Most if not all of the surviving Yellowjackets have mental conditions and if they don’t they sure as hell have endless trauma. The flashbacks are being told by them, 25 years later, when they have spent all that time trying to hide and deny everything that happened and everything that occurred and all of it is messed up. They don’t want to remember it all, they don’t want to remember their dead teammates. Sometimes it’s impossible to tell which characters are flashing back to which segments. Sometimes characters are inexplicably absent. Sometimes some people remember more than others. Sometimes random characters appear who have been absent all this time. Like, Crystal appeared as a character out of the blue when Misty was feeling abandoned by Nat and was remembering her first best friend. Characters are recast because who can even remember what those girls looked like anymore. The consistent characters are the ones no one can forget. The first ones. Who is gonna forget Laura Lee? Jackie? Javi? No one. But who is gonna remember girl #3 that you killed and ate when you went insane in the wilderness? No one. Or maybe you don’t want to remember. Maybe by girl #3 you try and forget everything. You stifle all feelings and memories until you remember maybe she had brown hair, oh i think i remember her gathering herbs once, oh i think she had this hat she liked to wear, oh maybe she was around during this event or maybe she was already dead and gone and buried and eaten. Maybe maybe maybe. You don’t know. You never know. Because thats what trauma does it eats away at the brain until all you have left to tell your story is faulty memories and a heart full of grief. And i think it just got worse once Shauna burned her journals and left everything into pure memory. Even those were unreliable because Shauna was suffering from day one and it only got worse after Jackie. Nothing is gonna be consistent about a story told 25 years after the events by people so traumatized they can barely remember it themselves.

YELLOWJACKETS + text posts 3.09 How the Story Ends

As much as I love the "Lottie's homophobic" jokes after the shaunlissa hand hold... yall know that she's just confused, right? She's surprised to see Shauna letting someone get close to her, especially after all of Lottie's attempts.

I started Yellowjackets recently (yes, I'm always super late at fandoms) because I saw a lot of content about it, especially about jackieshauna and other non-canon wlw ships and I tought that maybe people were esagerating about all of the characters soo queer coded (since complicated and well written lesbian/sapphic characters are kind of rare) but holy shit you weren't joking, this really is the cannibal lesbians show I've never been so happy to be wrong

yellowjacketsblr what the fuck is this exactly

idk if this is spoilers i’ll spoiler it just incase

my friend sent this to me and is refusing to explain the context and i can only assume this is someone being sacrificed by lottie or some shit cuz like she’s a cult leader right

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.
