In the latest Phan Twitter video, Phil said he knows nothing about the Beatles, and my genuine and utter shock at that statement is probably kind of racist to British people. So sorry about that, Phil.

Succession Opening Credits but it's Harry Potter??

Yet again! I have no idea how to do good text on CapCut. But I love the way the images line up in this. And on tumblr they won't steal the last ten seconds of my audio, so you guys are getting the superior version. It's very inspired by another tiktoker, Akcabz, who did something super similar with Yellowjackets. I don't think she has tumblr but she's super cool. Please look her up!

HELLFIRExSHAUNA

I don't love the text I did for this but I loooove the concept. I'm enjoying all the musical theater edits on tiktok lately and I don't know if they're a thing on tumblr. Guess we'll find out! Also tumblr makes my coloring look SO much better! Tik tok why do you destroy the quality of everything.

"Rabbit starvation," a survival concern in which eating only rabbit causes you to starve from lack of fat, no matter how much protein you get from the meat. Jackie's parents insisting that she loved rabbits, gifting rabbit statuettes in her memory, their image of her as a perfect doll for them to display. Jackie: "I mean, what even is a rabbit? A squirrel with floppy ears and a pom-pom on its ass?" Rabbits using a surface to hide something less glamorous but more nutritive. Rabbits as a mask Jackie projects into the world, even so far as to hide from Shauna behind it. Shauna wanting more, knowing there's something there she isn't getting, craving the richness of the real Jackie underneath the rabbit mask, starving even as she gorges on what Jackie can give her. "That's not what you're hungry for."

Okay, lets see if I was right!

Predictions:

Travis and Nat brief breakup but not like season one they'll stay friends

I was right about this! It was off screen but they did breakup but not in a tumultuous way, so I'll count this as a win.

Teen Lottie mental breakdown arc while the rest of the girls power trip in her absence

Tbh no idea what I meant by this. Kinda? Teen Lottie is pretty uninvolved with the rest of the power drama especially starting in episode 7.

Ben dead/missing by the end of the season :/

Correct :/ I miss my king.

Eating someone alive

Kinda..? Shauna takes a full bite out of an alive Melissa. I'll give myself 1/2 a point.

Misty assassination attempt outside of the card pulling thing

Nope, Misty had like no character stuff in the teen timeline except for the Nat stuff near the end.

"Dark secret" about man with no eyes or the cabin or wilderness revealed

Surprisingly, no. We barely saw the symbol or the man with no eyes and NEVER said anything about the cabin.

Mari or Akilah dead by the end of the season :/

Yeah :/ Mari dead (miss you queen) and Akilah missing! Sad sad sad I love them and loved that they got more character moments this season.

OKAY THIS IS MY CRAZY CONSPIRACY BUT BEAR WITH ME: Hikers or explorers stumble upon them and instead of getting help the Yellowjackets kill them, which eventually leads to their escape because people go looking for the hikers. (They kill them because they get concerned that they'll be in trouble when they go back)

Okay I was completely right about this so it's funny that I said it was a crazy conspiracy theory. It seemed crazy at the time! And I hadn't heard many people talking about it until it became clear that was where things were going.

Points: 4.5/8

Hopes:

Simone wakes up and threatens to go public

We saw Simone! She's awake! And she definitely made some threats on the phone, but she didn't have to go public because Tai is already disgraced.

Other Tai explained

Okay, I'm counting this as half a point because we get a man with no eyes moment, and an understanding of why Other Tai was taking over. Yay!

JackieShauna kiss hallucination (I DON'T CARE I WANT IT)

Okay, no. BUT we had a Shauna girl-kisser confirmation and the sleepover-makeout line so half a point here too.

The pre-crash scene is Tai or Lottie related PLS

Honey...there isn't going to be a pre-crash scene. You're not going to get one.

Points: 1.5/4

From the trailer:

The thing that pulls Shauna under water is Javi's ghost..?

Nope! But his arms helped pull Van to the same vision so I wasn't too far off.

TaiVan split up by the Shauna/Nat schism

Not split up fully but I'm taking this as a full point.

Melissa and Shauna start fighting because Shauna thinks she's a double-agent for Nat?

Yk what's crazy is I was about right on this. It was more about Hannah than Nat but basically yeah.

Points: 2/3

AND I was completely wrong about Hillary Swank!

Overall, I think I did a good job on my predictions and can't wait to make some more for season 4! (manifesting it)

My (probably wrong) Yellowjackets Season 3 predictions and hopes

Predictions:

Travis and Nat brief breakup but not like season one they'll stay friends

Teen Lottie mental breakdown arc while the rest of the girls power trip in her absence

Ben dead/missing by the end of the season :/

Eating someone alive

Misty assassination attempt outside of the card pulling thing

"Dark secret" about man with no eyes or the cabin or wilderness revealed

Mari or Akilah dead by the end of the season :/

OKAY THIS IS MY CRAZY CONSPIRACY BUT BEAR WITH ME: Hikers or explorers stumble upon them and instead of getting help the Yellowjackets kill them, which eventually leads to their escape because people go looking for the hikers. (They kill them because they get concerned that they'll be in trouble when they go back)

Hopes:

From the trailer:

BONUS: Who is Hillary Swank????

Elijah's ex? Misty tries to kill her?

Hillary Swank is an ex-member of Lottie's cult?

I actually don't have any more ideas lol. Let me know your predictions as well!

[strawberryjackie]

you’re serving face? you’re about to fulfill the pit girl prophecy, and you’re serving face??!

yellowjackets X house of the rising sun

This is flopping on tiktok so you guys better not let me down.

Also DAMN the discourse after that finale has been bonkers and depressing. To combat it, let me know something positive you have to say about anything you've watched/read/listened to lately in the comments.

[strawberryjackie]

Jackie gossiping about Shauna to Travis from beyond the grave is the level of petty I aspire to be.

[strawberryjackie]

Rip Mari Ibarra you would've loved vaping in public bathrooms

[strawberryjackie]

Mari's last words being smth adjacent to "oh fuck off" is literally the most mari thing ever. I am going to miss her so much.

[strawberryjackie]

jackie kinda sorta halfway fucked travis once and now like a bad pre-realization hookup she cant stop texting him from the grave telling him all about her lesbian situationship and her bisexual best friend and how they used to make out under the covers and shit. and travis is just like cool. i love this drama tell me more

Straight off the dome YJ Season 3 Finale thoughts (SPOILERS)

Yeah we're skipping Ep 9. I'm so sad it's over!

I think we can all agree that this hasn't been the best season. But holy shit did I have fun watching it and this episode was sooooo good my adrenaline was spiked the whole time.

Okay so uh wow. I was expecting a bigger cliff-hanger from the way they talked about it in interviews, but that certainly was one. And it took place on a literal cliff!

SO glad that the 8 survivors thing is lowkey invalid now since we know there were more than 8 people at the pit-girl ritual.

Shauna main characterism is real and I love her so much. She did annoy me once or twice in this episode I won't lie, and IRL I would be so scared of her, but she won me back during the Melissa thing. I knew you'd wind up to be fucking boring.

Okay controversial but I LOVED that what ended up being Lottie's downfall (no pun intended) was her just being super creepy about the wilderness to the wrong person! It's almost gotten her killed so many times, so I think it worked. Also her saying that the wilderness took their baby and Callie is the replacement is sooooo Lottie of her.

Where's Akilah. I liked her scene with Lottie but I was so concerned about her for the rest of the episode.

Poor Mari. I knew she would be pit girl but I really didn't want it to be her. Also DAMN she had maybe the most body-horrory mutilation scenes, that was AWFUL to look at.

Okay. I know this was not at all the point of this conversation between Travis and Shauna but can we talk about SLUMBER PARTY MAKEOUTS??????? Jackieshauna literally confirmed we just keep winning and winning.

Also Travis saying that he has Javi's thoughts is so sad, and also lowkey points to how fucked his brain must be from all the substance use out in the wilderness. Also maybe THIS episode should have been called 12 angry girls and 1 drunk Travis lol.

Adult Shauna kinda reaping what she sows, but also the scene between her and post-heart-consumption Tai was sweet. I wish we had more moments with them. Also their moment in the teen timeline was...way steamier than it needed to be? Idk maybe they're just really good friends...

A little sad that Jackie wasn't the antler queen but damn did I enjoy watching Shauna win. Even though she straight up lost right after.

Callie and Jeff taking space is so valid and I love their dynamic this episode, those two have incredible acting chemistry.

Van and Tai tearful hug is so important to me.

Nat/Misty dynamic this episode DELICIOUS YES PLEASE GIVE ME MORRREEEE

I want to make a million edits now but I have no idea what to do. Holy shit. We're done with season 3!! I'm sad but also so happy that it ended on a high note, this was maybe...the best episode of the season? Aside from 6 and 7 I guess.

Thanks to anyone who read and enjoyed these insane jumbles of thoughts love y'all. See you for season 4! (Showtime if you don't renew it I will FIND YOU)

[strawberryjackie]

I don't know which Yellowjackets fan needs to hear this...

but you're not an idiot for enjoying season 3 and you're not a fake fan for thinking that this season has real problems. You shouldn't have to constantly justify your enjoyment/judgements of a show, YJ discourse is exhausting and you're not media-illiterate for not engaging with it. Cringe is dead and Twitter is not real life.

Obligatory Mystery of Love Demo edit :/

I tried to get artsy, sue me.

HamiltonXYellowjackets *SPOILERS*

Fun fact about me is that when I was in 5th grade me and my friends wrote a Hamilton parody about the state of 2016 politics. So I've really trained my whole life to rewrite and decontextualize Hamilton lyrics.
