Her Face. Her Fucking Face. Van Going "it's Mari" In That Choked Up, Distraught Voice. Gen Distracting

Fuck you yellowjackets I love Mel but Van is 10x more deserving to live.

why does everyone in the yellowjackets fandom just agree that shauna’s mum is called Deb, she’s a nurse, a single mum and the nicest woman alive. Like where tf did that come from???

anyways Deb Shipman for president 🗣️🗣️

pssttt if you see this post tell me what your favorite bird is

lottie. the team’s centerback. a lipstick lesbian. she was as much about grace and style, she was about her game.

when something major goes down in a fandom you're not a part of

To me the crux of the story in Yellowjackets will always be a reflection of how modern major societies continuously and systematically fail the most vulnerable.

Every character in this show is a victim one way or another.

Lottie was born into a privileged life but was othered by her own mental illness and constantly failed by a world that continuously silenced and isolated her rather than guiding or dealing with the issues she didn't understand how to address.

Natalie started with nothing. She is the reflection of many children in America who are born into families that do not have the physical, economic, or emotional resources to care for them.

Travis very clearly has some sort of anxiety disorder and has been shown to have a history of being bullied and even ridiculed by his own father. God forbid a young boy have any type of sensitivity. Beyond that, his character is a very deliberate example of a survivor of sexual assault- an issue that is never really addressed by the perpetrators.

Taissa was born into a middle-class privileged family and a great deal of pride and ambition that was likely learned or reinforced in some way. She also was a teenage, mixed race, lesbian in the 90's. She had every instinct and drive to succeed despite a world that was structured so that she couldn't.

Jackie was born into a privileged, suburban, white family- but she was still a teenage girl in the 90s with perceptions of who she was forced onto her.

Shauna was the stereotypical poster child of teen angst in modern America, but she also had a deep set insecurity and maladaptive issues that were never looked at or acknowledged.

All of these children undergo a tremendous amount of stress, loss, grief, pain, and both physical and emotional trauma that changes them forever. But then they return to a world that is indifferent to all of that. Their pain is spectacle. Something to be publicly agreed upon as a tragedy. But they don't ever receive the care they need from it. They are shuffled back into a world they no longer fit into and expected to return to their roles as proper, civilized, demure young women and gentleman.

The tragedy of Yellowjackets was never about the horrors of survival in the wilderness- the tragedy has always been that this is a very clear depiction of how society's indifference and persistent marginalization of those considered "other" can push people to the brink of destruction or their own humanity.

Time to go take my drugs

do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.

Yellowjackets as textposts

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.
