Lottie Matthews as Joan of Arc (tribute to “Joan of Arc” by Sir John Everett Millais, 1864).

Anyways, shout out to my girls who can hear voices. Took me for fucking ever to draw, though. The Pre-Raphaelites were truly something else.

Some food for thought

[shaunashipm4n]

You know if Misty had just brought the transponder to the group when she found it(if the supernatural element to the show doesn't exist) they would have seen her as a hero. Especially considering shes been taking care of everyone all day. Heck even people in her town and school would have saw her as one even if they all thought she was annoying. Because they all get saved early and not a lot people died. All because of her. It's probably something adult Misty would have thought of. But nope teen Misty wouldn't have thought of that. She only could think about all thats going on in the moment like the teenager she was. Does this haunt her do you think growing up and being lonely all the time?

sophie nelisse and ella purnell behind the scenes of yellowjackets season 2

Fun fact- Jane Widdop was only 17 when the pilot was filmed, making them the youngest cast member. It also meant they were the only one in the teen timeline to be the same age as their character

the fact that ppl don’t get that lottie is shauna’s weakness like hello. lottieshauna haters will say it’s one sided as if shauna didn’t let that woman stay in her home after everything she’d done. what does shauna get out of that? it actively makes her life more complicated. even misty is shocked that someone would let lottie into their home. lottie is shauna’s enabler, she’s the only person who she feels she hasn’t wronged, the only person she can be with without feeling guilty. whenever shauna invites lottie into her life she brings out shauna’s worst impulses and shauna just lets her because at least she isn’t being looked down upon!!

shauna is blunt with lottie and calls her out on her bullshit but i also think she’s the one person out of all the yellowjackets who feels the most sympathy for her because she knows what that feeling of constant emptiness and need for higher purpose feels like. shauna’s feelings about lottie are just as complicated as they are for herself. she goes back and forth between forgiveness and hatred, just like she does with herself. shauna hates herself so much she can’t help but empathise with the person she believes to be just as guilty.. etc etc they have one of the most interesting dynamics maaaannn !!

One thing about Sophie Nélisse, she's going to defend Shauna.

I feel like a lot of viewers didn't necessarily absorb just how fucked up Mari, Akilah, Melissa, and Gen's murder plot in the s3 finale actually was. The episode didn't do the best job of communicating what was actually happening, so I do get why people were confused about who was in on what plan. But once you understand the girls weren't involved in Natalie's transponder efforts and had no idea there was still a chance of rescue, the full degree of horridness becomes clear.

Their plan definitely wasn't a distraction to get everyone rescued. It was essentially a revenge plot to take out their most unstable teammates for ruining their chances of rescue, and just as importantly, for being a heinous bitch to them (Shauna with Mari and Melissa) and convincing them they were special (Lottie with Akilah). It was personal and premeditated, and at least as bad or arguably worse than anything Shauna and Lottie had done up to that point.

They poisoned the animals, their only ethical food source and the one thing that might have gotten them through winter without resorting to cannibalism. They baited Lottie and Shauna into calling for another hunt to serve as a distraction while they carried out their murders, nevermind what might happen to whoever drew the queen. Even if they had successfully pulled it off and only the targets died, it would have done little to improve their overall circumstances.

The reality of their plan was this: they kill and eat two problem teammates, but it only sustains them for so long because the group is still stranded in the middle of nowhere during the brutal winter without food. Removing Shauna and Lottie from the equation solves a few of their immediate problems, creates a temporary illusion of security, but it doesn't prevent further violence. In fact, it's easier, because now they have experience actively killing their friends. As they go hungry, they justify more hunts.

What Lottie says is true, "It's in all of us now." Everyone in the group is responsible for the violence and depravity they've devolved into. They've all permitted, escalated, participated in, and benefited from these horrific acts. They've also been deeply traumatized by them. They are all simultaneously victim and perpetrator. Everyone, including Mari herself, is responsible for Mari's death. They're responsible for Ben and Javi and Jackie's deaths. But that reality is so overwhelming and existentially horrifying, they can't acknowledge it and have to find convenient scapegoats to pin all the bad things on.

It's easy to understand how they got there, and Shauna's sadism and Lottie's religious zealotry do make them super easy targets for blame. But we, the audience, aren't traumatized teenagers trapped in desperate circumstances, so we don't need to resort to scapegoating. We should be able to recognize the obvious and severe mental health crises driving Shauna and Lottie's behavior. We should be able to understand a huge part of their deterioration is because they were used by the collective, isolated into damaging roles, and then written off as crazy and dangerous once it stopped being convenient to use them.

I just think every single one of these kids, no matter what horrific shit they get up to, is worthy of our empathy and understanding. Fiction is exactly the place where we can exercise this kind of radical acceptance of the darkest parts of humanity. I'd prefer to save the finger pointing for picking out my favorite unhinged cannibal, instead of looking for villains and heroes where they don't exist.

(in s1 and s2)the fact that natalie was praised and uplifted for taking on the role of the hunter while shauna was at best teased and at worst viewed as heartless for being the butcher ohhhh im sick those girls wanted to be each other so bad!!!!! shauna wanted natalies power, and natalie wanted what she perceived as the freedom to be cruel, not be excepted of...grrr shaunanat u haunt my dreams

sorry if this is hard to read

[shaunashipm4n]

y'all can defend ben without trying to argue that shauna apparently not helping with his amputated leg (even though his needs were still being seen to) means it doesn't matter/he owed nothing to her during her labour when childbirth could have easily killed her

before y'all get twisted, YES its well established that ben was no doctor. people aren't upset at him for leaving because they think he could have done something, they're upset over the emotional abandonment. it's not just shauna, he abandoned ALL of those girls when he left them to get their team mate through hours of labour & it fell on taissa, another teen, to tell shauna her baby was dead. as i said before because shauna's labour could have easily killed her and ben left her to face that with a bunch of teen girls who were almost as scared as she was. and y'all still confused why she feels the way she does

[shaunashipm4n]

Did anyone else notice how Lottie hogged half the damn pelt supply so she could have a cool cloak/cape? Not to mention more than shauna who was their leader at the time. Don't forget in season two hg was bundled UPPP, Lottie Matthews my forever warm queen
