1.01 Pilot / 1.09 Doomcoming / 2.09 Storytelling

[nataliesscatorccio]

you don't have to believe me but adult Allie is the fulfillment of Jackie's unlived life let me explain. straightaway Allie is positioned under Jackie's wing, both girls absent from the team singing and dancing together between the lockers. Jackie is doing Allie's facepaint and giving her a pep talk like the one she's immediately about to receive from Coach Martinez. ready or not, these girls have responsibilities on their shoulders now that are above their skill level—and if they can't perform they'll be cut out. Allie is too concerned with prom and dates while the other girls are concerned with winning nationals; Jackie eventually dies for prioritizing what the group come to feel are the wrong things. Allie and Jackie, with their preoccupation for the functionally useless achievement markers of society, stand in the way of the team's survival. Allie, like Jackie, obliviously says the wrong thing with good intention, accidentally prioritizes her needs over the needs of the group (and yes i do count Shauna's wellbeing as a need for Jackie), and ultimately will be sacrificed in a horrible and graphic way when the team decides they can't move forward and win (read: survive) with her holding them back. Allie's leg is destroyed, but it's seen as a kindness when compared to the extent of the agony getting on the plane bound for nationals would have brought her. Jackie's death is heartbreaking, but Natalie knows right away that it was lucky for her to die then, because things were going to get worse. it's easy to believe the narrative Shauna later acts out to fulfill Jackie's life. but she's a writer, and a liar, and neither Jackie nor Shauna knew the other as well as they wanted to think. in some ways it's just a story Shauna is telling herself. the not unspoken truth is that Jeff was the high school boyfriend. and at the twenty-five year reunion Jackie wouldn't have been sitting next to him, Shauna did not take her place. Jackie would have been organizing the get together, quoting worddefinition.net (*Beaches) in her speech, offending someone, forcing people into group photos, and making cheesy nostalgiabait slideshows to Enya.

hey. do you picture me like i picture you am i in the frame from your point of view do you feel the same i'm too scared to say half of the things i do when i picture you? no worries if not

[nataliesscatorccio]

don't worry guys the first episode of the third season of yellowjackets was just revealed to me in a dream and it's worth the wait

[nataliesscatorccio]

have u ever tried writing fanfic? I feel like youd be good at it

you understand yellowjackets, and u express it so beautifully

that's so nice of you to say! i've written a few in the past for other fandoms, but i don't really see myself having the time or inspiration for it anymore. i'd never say never—the road to season three is so long i fear—but for now i prefer focusing on things i know i can and will finish! i'm having a lot more fun analyzing and making edits at the minute. thanks for asking! 💛
