if you're not obsessed with a fucked up female character i hope that changes for you soon. becoming obsessed with a genuinely deranged fictional woman will change your life.

A tiktok edit that made me cry over taivan at 8am. Again.

i love how s3 finale completely flips our perspective on the hunt from the pilot. half of the girls weren’t even hunting. van standing over the pit seemed so menacing in the pilot but now it’s just heartbreaking. mari being pit girl, not because the wilderness chose but because shauna chose. mari was only wearing a nightdress so she could use her clothes as a decoy. and turns out mari was a decoy while the others tried to get rescue. misty removing her mask and smiling not because they caught mari but because they’re getting rescued and there’s nothing shauna can do about it. the hair on the antler queen costume wasn’t a collection of various victims’ hair, it was just mari’s. this whole time we thought it was all the girls collectively giving in to the hunt and the wildness of it, but really it was just shauna, along with lottie and tai. none of them wanted to do a hunt, none of them wanted mari to be chosen.

MELANIE LYNSKEY as SHAUNA SHIPMAN YELLOWJACKETS 3.09 "How the Story Ends"

[antlerqueengf]

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.

feel like people forget jeff's love for and devotion to shauna is all based in guilt too. he feels guilty he cheated on jackie and she died as a result of it. he feels guilty for getting shauna pregnant right before the crash so she had to give birth to HIS child and lose that child under very traumatic circumstances. he feels guilty he betrayed shaunas trust and tried to blackmail the other yellowjackets, instigating the path of destruction shaunas created now. ofc hes devoted to her, hes had a huge part to play in so many of the awful things that have happened to her. his love for her is dripping in guilt just the same way hers is for him, its not pure or romantic, its utilitarian. they're stuck with each other because of what they went through. the pain they caused together and the guilt they feel over it is too much to bear alone so they stay in it together and whilst theres a comfort and devotion in that i wouldnt really call it love in the traditional sense of the word.

anyone can be a girlboss but it takes a real woman to be a deadbeat dad

When other Yellowjackets fans, majority who are poc themselves, talk about how weird and frustrating it is that the writers introduced a random yte character and gave them a storyline when there were two (technically three but they killed off Lottie even when there was an opportunity for more) woc, who have been around since s1, that could've fit the mold instead (like Mari) and have actual personalities outside of building up/being the lapdog for another character. Or how often times many of the, limited, poc characters are often either treated poorly and killed off, or pushed to the side (Simone, reduced to the disposable black girlfriend trope and is nearly killed by her partner because she's in the way of a ship; Travis, since s1, had his trauma dismissed or ignored and was overly hated but no one talks about how he was SA'd by the girls he's now stuck with on top of having to eat his brother and not be able to grieve over it). How Taissa's whole storyline is just revolving around Van even with all the potential, especially given she's fighting to be free from her own mind, how Lottie's mental illness is treated so poorly as if it's not the butt of a joke then it's met with heavy criticism (and the only time she is met with sympathy for it, it's through the lens of a yte character embodying her and having an emotional conversation with her father). How you can have all of these reasons (and more) for being annoyed by Melissa's character or the direction of the show, and be met with #those fans downplaying these concerns, or just being overly antagonistic just because they find yte character #243 entertaining so obviously these conversations don't have merit. But this fandom has always had an...."interesting" way in which it discussed the poc characters on the show, so I'm not surprised.
