Everyone In Yellowjackets Is Fucked Up Because They Had To Be Cannibals In The Woods Except For Callie

another case of gay people breaking up without even dating

the moment Kara realized she was starting to lose Lena vs. the moment she lost her

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'

hyperfixation please stay with me long enough to complete the project. hyperfixation do not fade. hyperfixation finish what you started for the love of god

This is how the scene went, right?

“is this character good or bad” “is this ship unproblematic or not” “is this arc deserving of redemption or not” girl…

A bowl of cats
