I Wasn't Aware Of This One, So I'm Trying To Spread The Word.

i saw a bunch of tweets about how travis is back on the shit list for trying to kill lottie and i thought to myself, “it’s yellowjackets, y’all.. grow up” 😅 but seriously?! you’re all pissed over attempted murder in a show like yellowjackets?? i mean, i love lottie too, but come on…….

and you truly can’t figure out why travis martinez would want revenge on lottie for inspiring shauna (and tai) to keep everyone in the wilderness??? let’s review, shall we? 🧐

his abusive father died violently in a plane crash and the corpse fell from a tree in front of him.

he was nearly killed by shauna and lottie and also kind of assaulted by some of the girls when they were all poisoned by misty. did he hold a grudge? no.

his little brother went missing for months during winter and travis searched for him until sort of going mad.

he mourned javi’s death once when nat showed him the bloody clothes.

then javi returned! but he was so traumatized by something out there that he had become selectively mute.

then javi drowned! so travis had to mourn javi again, for realsies. the shot of him cradling javi’s head while the predators watched on? HEARTBREAKING. he didn’t even get to say goodbye.

and, finally, he had to eat his own little brother’s corpse so that he wouldn’t die of starvation.

plus, he experienced all the General Trauma Stuff that everyone else felt too!! so yeah……… travis trying to kill lottie with a tiger pit? fair play, brother. i see you, man. i love you.

You don’t understand how horrifying Travis’s scenes in this episode were for me.

My thing with Travis is that I always thought that he survived the wilderness because he was so passive, he just goes along with what the girls do out of fear. He was seen as a victim of the girls. He wasn’t part of the group, he wasn’t one of them. I thought he was the most grounded along with Nat.

But this just threw all of that out of the window. If he wanted to take Lottie out he could’ve just grabbed a knife and gotten it over with. But no, he spent probably hours whittling each spike one by one, covering it up meticulously, and luring Lottie over to it. Repeating “I can’t.” to himself when he’s with her.

I expected his crash out to be just like an emotional outburst, but quietly making a brutal trap for someone who, for all we know, was his only friend for months. It’s something you wouldn’t expect from him, especially if you look at him in the beginning of the season. A wolf in sheep’s clothing, horrifying.

YELLOWJACKETS | Season 1, Episode 2, “F Sharp”

Idgaf if you don't want to write essays for school. I don't care if you don't want to write corporate emails yourself. I don't care if you can't draw well, I don't care if you can't write well, I don't care if you just really really want to talk to your favorite fictional character but don't want to RP with a real person because you have social anxiety or whatever

If you're still regularly using generative ai, chatgpt or midjourney or character.ai or literally whatever the fuck, im personally blaming you when my utility prices start going up.

my laura lee headcanon is that she was molested as a kid. maybe from inside the church or from within her family. it’s just a feeling.

i don’t know about y’all but what happened at the pool always felt intentional to me. the look on her face before she dove in head first was all too familiar. and the way she clings to her innocence? it’s very common for victims who have repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse.

alright here's my idea - an au where jayvik meet as kids, with viktor working for a street magician, rigging all the fake tricks behind the scenes, and jayce as a little magic fanboy 🪄✨

some thoughts on this au:

jayce has been obsessed with magic acts ever since his life was saved by a sorcerer. there's a new performer in town who can do tricks no one else can, and jayce in convinced he must be the real deal. one day he sneaks backstage in the hopes of finding evidence of real magic, but finds viktor instead, who he assumes must be the magician's apprentice!

viktor is torn because he doesn't want to ruin this kid's enthusiasm, or risk losing his job by revealing the truth. but he also... really doesn't want to be a wizard. so he comes clean. (lol)

jayce is a little bummed to find out it's not real, but when viktor shows him how the practical effects work, jayce becomes enchanted once more. they look so convincing!! technology that can replicate magic?? he thinks that's brilliant.

from then on viktor has a little tag-along at all of their shows, and jayce even starts calling himself viktor's apprentice. viktor's embarrassed, obviously, but also undeniably charmed. he and jayce become friends, him teaching jayce about engineering and jayce (trying to) teach him about the arcane.

they are earth shatteringly adorable the entire time 😔

Inside the Mighty Beef

*wrinkles nose* shouldnt you be repressing that

it’s always been so interesting to me that one country’s “civilian casualties” is another country’s “terrorism”

They’re all so lucky that Nat has never actually joined in on one of the card draw hunts because she would be absolutely lethal
