Snackie Part 2

Yellowjackets and why they got sent to conversion therapy But I'm A Cheerleader style

Nat - Goth.

Misty - Weirdo... her parents wanted her out of the house...

Van - Her mum doesn't actually care but she still crocodile-teared her way into letting Van stay without cost for the whole summer, #freebabysitting

Laura Lee - She's just a volunteer there (for now).

Shauna - Flannel-wearing, soccer-playing, poet-wannabe introvert. Obvs.

Jackie - Shauna got sent there. Also she plays soccer.

Lottie - Kept talking about seeing women (she has unstoppable visions).

Tai - She's gay; incidentally, Tai sent herself there because she didn't want to deal with a gay crisis, and her parents currently think she's at a Model UN conference.

Mari - Tried invoking Girl On Girl Is Hot with the wrong crowd.

Melissa - Look at her fucking hat. Come on.

Crystal - No sense of boundaries.

I was going to write a meta on why Jackie’s 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.

People expecting a character like Caitlyn who has shown so many times her clear disdain for communicating her feelings verbally, to have lengthy conversations and never ending apologies for everything she has done wrong is a bit disappointing.

Caitlyn is a politician’s daughter. She knows that words are always there to smooth the rough edges of the conflict or to make promises that another age won’t see coming to fruition and, essentially, mean nothing without the action following.

People offer their sympathies and she just doesn’t acknowledge their words, Cait just moves past it and changes the topic or tries to make up a plan to just do something, to fix and salvage.

She shows, not tells.

She doesn’t say a word as she rushes to bring her father in a tight embrace after being on the brink of death and allowing herself to stay like that for a few moments with a person she thought she’d never see again.

She doesn’t say a word as her eyes are slowly drifting lower as if preparing herself to face yet another of her mistakes that she can’t erase. She’s reaching out to gently graze her fingers over an injury and the spot that she hit the person who she loved so much in, sorrow and remorse all over her face.

She doesn’t say a word as she puts every obstacle out of Vi’s way to make sure that nothing would stop her to free Jinx: to free the person who tormented her mind even before she knew her name, to get her out of the cell and out of the punishment Caitlyn was determined to bring on her with all the rage and ferocity of a grieving daughter.

She doesn’t say a word as she gives up her inherited sit in the Council for a Zaunite who she faced in a fight that she barely got out of alive by sheer luck and is there to represent the interests and stand for the rights of the city she poisoned and regarded the residents of with a loss-reinforced contempt and prejudice.

Why would she need to say anything when she shows so much?

And why would you, as a viewer, rob yourself of the opportunity to appreciate the nuance of the character like that?

You guys are defending Mari when she literally walked all the way to civilization without them just to fuck Shauna’s dad

anybody else have like. public and private pronouns. like yeah strangers can use he or she for me idc but if you're a friend im expecting they/them only. and if you're a close friend you unlock the super secret rights to use it/its (exclusive) (rare drop)

Can we talk about the fact that Vaggies backstory/falling in love with Charlie is just a really, really fucked up version of little miss perfect?

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.
