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.
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
It’s a little funny how since this latest episode I’ve seen a lot of “oh I hate shauna now” posts and I think that’s valid and understandable but when people say she’s annoying as a character and hard to watch I’m like. You don’t have to like her. But every show needs a good villain and she’s providing that this season. She’s the catalyst for so many major events in the series, is absolutely crucial to the plot, and is the closest thing to a central protagonist in the show. You can hate her but don’t act like the show would be better off without her. She is the show and what it embodies; cruelty and envy, particularly in the context of the complexity of female relationships, and trauma.
Watching people react to an actual female antihero has been very 'disappointed but not surprised', like lots of people didn't like Walter White or Tony Soprano but they never asked why they were central charcaters or called them 'unwatchable' (and she's far more sympathetic than those two lol)
Anon literally thank you I’ve felt so crazy these past 24 hours seeing the influx of Shauna hate
Because I GET disliking a character! I wasn’t a fan of Misty when I first started watching yj! She’s my baby now and I’ll defend her with my life but she took some getting used to for me and that’s okay. Even if you don’t really warm up to polarizing characters like Shauna and Misty, it doesn’t mean you’re engaging with the material “incorrectly.” But as you said, acting like they’re utterly unwatchable? Like they’re destroying the moral fabric of (checks notes) the immoral people eating show? Discrediting their huge impact on the show? Really?
I saw this post recently about yj that I really liked and I’ll see if I can track it down to credit after I finish this. Basically it was about how one major problem with the fandom is how skewed some fans’ perception is of what actions within the series are acceptable and what isn’t. Every girl who is a current survivor in the teen timeline has done some vile shit to survive. Even Natalie let Javi drown. Shauna condemning Coach Ben and being, yes, a total dick to Nat this season is not… really the worst thing she’s even done. I’m sure she is about to quote unquote get worse and I’m excited! I want to see all of the Yellowjackets commit increasingly unforgivable acts! That’s what the show is about. It’s about a group of high school girls full of dynamics crawling with envy and resentment and devotion and attraction having to fight tooth and nail to survive in the wilderness where the lines between reality and fantasy blur and polite society fails. It’s not Heartstopper 😭 and Shauna is, just like any wildly popular male antihero like those you mentioned, vicious and willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wants (and again like you said, she’s a lot more sympathetic than those guys thus far). Some people are just uncomfortable seeing that on a woman in ways they simply aren’t when it’s a man. But Shauna is, undeniably, the heart of the show and everything it represents.
sophie thatcher being intrigued by the mistynat dynamic but horrified by and 'very against' them as ship.... meanwhile courtney's tryna get sophie to talk abt the lottienat fanart and fics..... i love living now
misty: shauna would have left mari in the pit
natalie: hey. but yea she would have
shauna: yeah i would have
Lottie 🍄
season 3 episode 4 of yellowjackets summary:
Lottie’s final scene being her practicing apologies over and over again knowing they will fall on deaf ears is fucking heartbreaking when she spent the whole show getting blamed for everything despite never doing a thing wrong 😭😭😭
If I could wish for just one more scene with Lottie it’s for someone she would trust to tell her it wasn’t her fault </3
Lottie looked at Shauna and Melissa like 👀
It was so other Tai who sacrificed her for van cause there was time between their meeting and her death
so are we thinking it was tai or shauna? maybe melissa but i kinda doubt it idk
melissa.... shut the fuck up
!!SPOILERS FOR YJ 304!!
Melissa fr accused a man of attempted murder for her lesbian situationship like girl ik damn well the cookie aint THAT good.
I DON'T WANT HIM DEAD ANYMORE OH NO
okay but what if instead of that random guy lottie was actually taivan's sacrifice.
melissa voting against ben for shauna. van voting against ben to (probably) protect tai. which means coach ben's cause of death was literally lesbianism. wlw/mlm hostility indeed.
ARE YOUUUUU FUCKING KIDDINGGGGGGGG?!?
IS THIS A FUCKING JOKE?!?
Lottie Matthews is alive and well, Lottie Matthews is happy and breathing, Lottie Matthews went in vacation and is alive and well. These are my new daily affirmations.
shauna shipman i wanted you to get worse but i fear i may have misspoken.
shauna you evil fucking lesbian
the prophet predicting her own death fucks ngl
Can we talk about how Tai definitely burned the cabin (probably as Other Tai) and could’ve very well killed Lottie? Can. Can we talk about how Van so confidently raised her hand to condemn Ben because it would ensure Tai’s safety? Can we talk about how Tai was going to literally kill a man and then could’ve very well killed Lottie to try and give her and Van more time? Can we talk about how much Taivan is driving the fucking plot this season?
yj ep 4 spoilery thoughts
NO AND LOTTIE WAS THE ONE PERSON MISTY COULD HAVE ACTUALLY SPENT TIME WITH AND HAD A FRIEND IN NO ! !
sorry the denial is wearing off and im getting sad
THEY KILLED THE BEST CHARACTER ON THE SHOW?! MYYYY SHAYLAAAA
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?)
The I know what you are look Lottie gave Shauna and Melissa after their “that’s fucking power” and handholding exchange
!!YELLOWJACKETS 304 SPOILERS!!
