MORE YELLOWJACKETS SEASON THREE EPISODE FOUR SPOILERS BELOW (last post for today, i promise)
I think that Lottie is definitely one of the most tragic deaths so far. She went through so much, and she didn't deserve anything that happened to her and she didn't deserve to go in the way that it seems she did. Of course, we don't yet know the full context of her death, but it's obvious that someone else did this to her, and the candles around her bring a sort of ritual aspect to it that i'm excited to see them dive back into.
(i'm also still stuck on the trial vote, like what the fuck?)
ya I found this out I was like 8 cause I was doing a presentation on him, goes without saying my teacher was concerned when I went on a rant about him cheating on his wife and how I hoped karma would catch up to him
okay but if you ever see a male creative who had a string of great work and then everything else he did was dogshit, go to the "personal life" part of his wikipedia and look at his relationships. you'll either find a major tragedy he didn't recover from (completely understandable) or, more likely, there was a woman in his life doing uncredited shit editing his stuff or contributing generally and she's not there anymore.
I told a friend about this phenomenon in literature and he called me weeks later like, I remembered what you said about women doing uncredited work when tim burton came up. he made a string of bangers then everything else just was nowhere near as good. the timeline matches perfectly to when he was with this german visual artist (lena gieseke). he's done some good work in collaboration, but if things were dug into I suspect we would find she did a lot more than people realise.
so yeah whenever you look around like wow women didn't work in history, or, women aren't auteurs, or, there just aren't as many great female writers - societal reasons for that aside, half the time they absolutely did.
i’m actually getting exhausted at this point guys yellowjackets is an extremely queer & sapphic show 😭 like no it’s not the L word. because it wouldn’t make any fucking sense for it to be the L word. these are teenagers from the 90s who have weird and complicated relationships with each other who grow up into emotionally stunted adults who continue to have weird and complicated relationships with each other. i need you to stop discrediting the extremely queer way jackie and shauna were written, the devotion courtney eaton and jane widdop played their characters as having for each other, the ways in which christina ricci has played and talked about misty’s sexuality and feelings toward men, the obvious ways in which travis can be read as a trans woman. i need you to stop discrediting all of this just because they’re not portrayed in a stereotypically sexual and romantic way, just because the themes of this show aren’t spelled out for you. not every queer person is going to look the way you want them to. not every queer showrunner (because, i will remind you, bart and ashley are both queer) is going to write queer characters in the most straighforward way. it’s frankly fucking insulting to see so many people accuse yellowjackets, a show full of beautiful and complex and fucked up queer female dynamics, of queerbaiting and not being gay enough. watch heartstopper if you want a romcom. this is something different. just because queer representation doesn’t look the way you want it to doesn’t make it any less queer.
he's into men
Do you think when Shauna dies at the end of the series she’ll have a death dream where Jackie walks up to her with Wilderness baby in her arms
shauna shipman can eat me for lunch
snackie part 2
fucking bites you
i need the yellowjackets fans to calm tf down i am NOT a snackie kinnie.
oh fucking SLAY bitch that is her name!
“You don’t matter anymore” to “you’re not in charge anymore” LEAVE THEM ALONE (I scream in tears)
PJO AU where Jackie and Misty are left behind on a quest and go on their own adventure to bring them back and find some friends along the way?
My favorite relationship dynamic in fiction is a worshipper and their God. Not a literal God, but their God. The only thing in the whole world that matters to them. I will live for you, I would die for you, I would kill for you. My only moral compass is You. You can do no wrong in my eyes and I will never stray from your side. I was born to meet you and to love you. You are the only being I pray to. Your life isn’t just my passion, it’s my religion. You don’t think you’re anything special but you don’t see what I see. You don’t see that you’re the only person who’s ever made me feel this way. You don’t understand how beautiful you are to me and I will devote my entire life to making you understand and accept it.
