Realization (if Jackie And Shauna Knew Girls Can Date Girls)

I'm not condoning it, but Shauna not letting them grieve Mari is just the same as her putting the knife in Nat’s hand. Its a plea for understanding. Ofc its cruel. its inhumane. she gets too much satisfaction out of the entire ordeal. but its also what they did to her first. “they’re not people, they’re sacrifices. it was for the greater good. you can’t grieve them Shauna, can’t grieve your child, he actually belongs to all of us now. watch us disturb his grave, your best friends grave too, praying to a god none of you believed in. why can you let go of what you did to Javi? a child you cared about. tried to protect once. why are you so angry? we’re intrepid heroes. there's a glory in it actually.” Like, is it any wonder she throws it all back in their faces?

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.

Kara: (after a long conversation) That can’t be what romantic love feels like, that’s how I feel for Lena!

worst thing that can happen to a girl is her friend gets a boyfriend

oh, okay, i see. you think this has nothing to do with you.

you go into the yellowjackets tag and filter out... oh i dont know. misty quigley, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world you're against the violent 'evil' she possesses and don't ever defend her actions or weird girl tendencies. but what you don't know is that yellowjackets is a piece of media first and foremost exploring how grief changes the fundamental building blocks of who we are, and how trauma can cause us to act in perverse and off putting ways.

youre also blithely unaware of the fact that the same character traits and flaws you scorn in misty, are ever present in your other 'favs', that filtered down throughout the yellowjackets team via jackies death and the cannibalism, and then trickled down into some other tragic yj girl where you, no doubt, fished out of some clearance bin and defend her through long think pieces on tumblr.com without inherently realising they are just as bad as each other, misty quigley is just othered for it for the simple act of existing as a girl whos kinda weird and who never grew out of being 17.

however, misty quigley represents the fundamental truth that the other yellowjacket women can't stand her or stomach her bc they see too much of themselves in her actions and devotion and grief. and its sort of comical how you think youve made a choice by hating her character, in a way that 'exempts' you from being immoral, when in fact, you're loving the same characters that are reflected in misty's character....from a pile of 'stuff'
