I'm really excited to see what the writers are doing with mari and nat, because after Ben's death they've been paired up in a similar way to TaiVan, Shauna Melissa, or Travis and Akilah.

Aside from the brief moment during the celebration, they haven't had any scenes devoted to just the two of them, but there has been a *lot* of screen time on them as a pair. In more than half of Natalie's scenes, Mari is present in a purposeful way. Either she's directly interacting with her, she's standing directly next to her, or in some cases the camera cuts away from Nat just to show Mari nodding along to what she's saying. And there's the two moments where Nat trusts Mari with being responsible for Hannah and Kodi and the escape plan.

Plus, Mari is the only other person on "Team Rescue" who doesn't have split loyalty. Gen loves Melissa and Akilah still believes in some version of the wilderness.

This show doesn't shy away from queer relationships, so maybe some sort of romance is on the table, but right now Mari is being set up as a sort of Right Hand Man to Natalie going into season 4. And I think that'd be a great dynamic.

they've continuously underestimated her observation and perception skills — this is one of those moments.

lottie can sense something is not right in this moment with the way travis is behaving. lottie's intuition is what has been keeping her alive for so long. it is one of the things that she projects onto the wilderness that protects her. here "it" (herself) protects her again.

she looks to confirm if her perception of the situation is true and travis's actions show that.

you can see how she changes realising the potential threat of the situation is in fact real.

and that's the moment that truly upsets her.

rip laura lee you would have loved watching jesus walk on pit twigs

[part-timeslayer]

I know her ass was constantly getting carded for fouling the other team’s offence

“The innocence died with Laura Lee” I’d argue if Laura Lee was around everything would be so much worse. She believed Lottie was a prophet and her visions were messages from god she would absolutely enable everything they did because she would truly believe it’s what god wanted. Laura Lee believed in Lottie’s visions when there was no reason to whatsoever. Imagine how she would act once Lottie started getting things right. She probably would’ve had deep religious psychosis and be the most deranged out of all them. I think it’s what makes her so interesting her already unwavering faith tied with the wilderness and what it turns them into is just so interesting to think about. But unfortunately we’ll never know. Rip my crazy queen you had so much potential 😔

Tai calling van her wife to everyone who will listen consistently takes me out bc like girl you very publicly have an actual whole wife and son you are legally a family with. Like, they appeared in your political campaign. Your wikipedia page says you’re married to simone abara right above the section about how you impeached yourself before taking office. Get it together senator dirt snorter

[part-timeslayer]

funniest thing in yellowjackets to me is that other tai just wants van carnally. like yeah the fucking wilderness demon living in your ex girlfriend is back. she woke up went “wrong wife” and decided to kill the dog. anyway she wants to kiss you. sorry and congratulations

The way lottie is like 5’10 and yet we never see her do any manual labour just tall and lazy

faith lehane’s avoidance issues are so bad she left her own murder. buffy summers’ abandonment issues are so bad she felt abandoned by faith dropping off a building after she tried to murder faith.

[part-timeslayer]

Literally them lmao

[part-timeslayer]

we make fun of the '96 yellowjackets for letting lottie make all their decisions for them but it's been so long since s1 i think we forgot about the bear. like if i woke up from a nonconsensual group hallucinatory drug trip with the knowledge that winter is coming and we're most likely gonna freeze and starve to death and then the girl who'd earlier started rapidly speaking a language she wasn't fluent in walked outside and a fucking bear came out of the woods and kneeled before her and she killed it with a knife then YEAH i think i would be doing whatever the hell she wanted

shauna seeing the video of callies prank n then when callie goes see i'm not crazy n shauna goes oh no thats just funny actually..... gals i fear u are both insane. blind leading blind behaviour

I'm sorry but Mari just singing "I'm too sexy for this cave I'm too sexy for this rope I'm too sexy for these rocks I'm too sexy to be murdered I'm a hostage" and then when she's out still managing to find hatred and stupidity in her heart to make jokes and continue beefing with Shauna telling her she'd walked over to civilization to fuck her dad even though she'd been maced and she had a fucked up knee is top tier television. One of the best fucking characters in the show. She's so doomed but so real and so funny. I love you, Mari. I hope you beat the allegations because you're great and I really don't want you to die in a pit. No one could match your haterism and your humor

even though coronabeth is the only one to laugh at magnus’s dad joke at the anniversary dinner, i don’t think corona ever actually makes a pun of her own in the book. but you know who does? fucking ianthe (“some people will do anything to get … a head”)

what this tells me is that coronabeth is going through life laughing at ianthe’s bad jokes like that one video of zendaya doubled over laughing at tom holland’s mediocre joke

Palpatine never stops getting obliterated by Padmé his entire life. Like imagine you’re trying to do evil advisor political things and then there’s this child queen cutting you off at the pass every time. Oh okay no worries you try and assassinate her but then she gets even more politically adept and then seduces and marries the guy you’ve been working really hard to groom. Rats! But no problem, because now she’s dead and you’ve succeeded in making her husband into your metal fleshmachine murdersub but—SURPRISE! Turns out she’d been hitting that freakazoid raw during every wartime conjugal visit and now you’re getting your ass kicked by not one but TWO of her kids, which, given they both have 50% of her DNA, is like kind of like getting your ass kicked by a genetically combined total of 100% Padme Amidala. Crazy.

strong contender for funniest yellowjackets moment to me

[part-timeslayer]
