#Yellowjackets thoughts

[fairytwles]

i showed the trailer to my friend who just finished the series and she told me something that i literally haven't thought of before!

so obv we know that an older version of Mr.Matthews (Lottie's dad) is gonna be in this season from this picture posted by someone who works on yj awhile ago...

what if Tai is smothering Mr.Matthews in this scene? we don't really know any old white men in this show (thank god) other than jackies dad and by some absolute off chance coach ben if he's the 8th survivor, but he wouldn't have aged this much, even 25 years later.

then again, it could be a random ass old dude we haven't met yet, i just thought this was a fun thought :)

i’ve also seen people say this was van with cancer??? but i choose to be delusional about vans safety and also the person in the bed looks so much like a man to me sorry

[eli-evermore]

There's been more made 👀

this is how you know I'm obsessed with something. Also, if you guys wanna actually see the playlists, let me know! I'd also appreciate song recs for them <3

[sillylittlgaythings]

I have a bone to pick with the Yellowjackets fandom, more specifically with the twitter community

im just gonna rant here for a bit. oh. my. god. you guys are UNBEARABLE and ANNOYING.

first: “why did they pair shauna with melissa and not with mari/akilah/gen/x/y/z?”

because melissa was a BLANK character with 0 meaningful conversations with shauna in s1 and 2. shauna already doesn’t like mari. “so now you’re her protector? a little late for that” thats mari to shauna after jackie’s death and the girls wanting to burn her body, they could not make mari into the wide-eye girl infatuated with shauna like they did melissa it. wouldn’t. make. sense. (same thing with gen, she always takes mari’s side and it would be kinda interesting to see this dynamic play out, but anyway).

shauna needed someone she had no previous feelings (good or bad) for and that also includes akilah. she was the one helping shauna giving birth, calming her down and trying to save her and the baby, akilah already had a personality being developed in s2 and clearly had a different plot direction for s3, while melissa didn’t. shauna already had her interaction with akilah and has a perception of her.

melissa was a perfect vessel for shauna’s girlfriend. no meaningful interactions before. no attachment. shauna is able to create melissa the way she wanted in her had, make her a replacement for jackie, use her as she sees fits because she doesn’t know melissa beyond that

second: “why did they get rid off lottie for melissa/they fired simone to afford hillary swank”

thats NOT how the industry works. that’s not how budget works, they’re not taking payment from one actress to give it to another, also hillary’s fees (an award winning actress) are much higher than simone’s (an somewhat unknown actress, love her but it’s true) if it actually worked that way it would made more sense to get rid off melanie or christina, the biggest and most expensive actresses in the adult tml along side with hillary now.

“but lottie’s story wasn’t done” one of the main points of the series is that every death was unfair. the people who died in the crash was unfair. laura lee exploding wasn’t fair. jackie frozen to death wasn’t fair. javi drowning wasn’t fair. nat dying from an overdose after battling addiction and finally getting clean is not fair. every death was unfair. i do think it would be interesting seeing more of lottie’s character but lottie was NOT killed off for melissa, let’s be realistic here.

third: “why are so many shauna scenes?” she’s the main character!!! she’s the one we follow throughout the show, of course there are other principal characters but shauna is the protagonist and the main plot will be around her in some way

fourth: “it’s so weird that tai is the only POC to survive” that’s not true, both lottie and travis were survivors and people of color, yes they’re dead now, but they are still survivors. we also don’t know how many made it out of the wilderness, the 8 survivors theory is just that, a theory. mari, akilah and gen might have made it out and choose to hid/fake their deaths like melissa did.

i do think the treatment of non-white characters and actors in the industry needs to be discussed further and deeply, i’m not saying non-white fans shouldn’t complain about things they see as unfair and wrong, i’m just pointing things out and not speaking over them. i’m not saying they’re complains are justified, but it’s not the intention of this post to discuss this issue specifically.

i’m just so tired of people complaining about every. single. damn. thing this season, of course some criticisms are valid and some conversations are importante to have, but it’s just so annoying to see people nitpicking every little thing about s3 everytime a new episode drops and wondering why certain plots were finish, not understanding why things were written like this or that or etc feels like this is you guys’ first time watching a show with one episode per week like WAIT, BE PATIENT, we already know there are 5 seasons planned so it’s obvious some things will be left unknown or a mystery.

yes it’s nice to dissect a show and analyse the writing and the characters, but it feels like some people either don’t actually like the show or are to stuck in their AO3 fanfic dynamics to enjoy the actual show and characters.

anyway, have a good day guys and enjoy the the season finale next week.

[confusedmothboy]

hate travis haters cause like what did i ever do to you

thats in a joking manner btw i just relate to him on an unhealthy level lemme spew up my thoughts below the cut

so like. we all know hes an asshole the first few episodes. im gonna keep my thoughts and rationalizations on that to myself cause that's not what this post is about, and im not defending him there. BUT. he is such a relatable and accurate depiction of a man stuck in a matriarchial society. my source? *points to myself* i dont feel the need to delve into my home and family life too much on here but im gonna need you guys to know that i know.

okay continuing: travis is never the focus, and he knows that, which is why hes such a fucking asshole for the start of season one. his grief isnt the focus, his father (flaws and all) isnt the focus, and hes never considered that a) he would be stuck out in the wilderness with 15 teenage girls his age or that b) he would not be immediately feared and respected simply because hes a man.

i think he realizes this the second ben gives natalie the gun that he has almost no influence over the group, which he lashes out about. his love for natalie and his willingness to listen to her during season one overrides all of that soon after.

ever since then and through to the end of s2, hes an active side character, but only exists to further nat or lottie's arcs. he comes back a bit when javi is rescued, but as a character, he understands his place in this mini society and fits into it, mainly out of fear, considering what happened to jackie.

jackie also didn't fit into the yellowjackets' dynamic at the beginning, but unlike travis, she refused to adapt to a survivalist mindset. (she was also less of a incendiary dick but whatever whatever)

on doomcoming: i think that that's when travis realizes that not only does he not have control over the group, he doesnt have power over his own autonomy. the girls nearly gang rape and kill him, and he knows that by the morning, he cant do anything about it. considering its the 90s (though this mindset is still SO prevalent) he also probably feels like he should have enjoyed the parts before they held a knife to his throat. the only one who doesnt immediately let it go is jackie (someone who also took advantage of him btw), and she is literally frozen out for it. when they eat her, it serves him as a reminder that he would never have autonomy in the wilderness again, even after death.

just gonna throw the point that his character is very reminiscent of how female characters are usually treated in media out there (reblogged something that went SO much better into it than i can)

anyways, by season 3 hes damn near lobotomized. lottie breaks his mind with shrooms and manipulation and he has like 5 lines the whole season. could this be pinned on the Different style of writing that we were given in s3? yeah, but i think its him understanding thats in the new post fire dynamic, its not enough for him to be on the side, he needs to be PASSIVE. him exerting his strength or emotion is a reminder to the girls that they weren't always like that. he knows that hes one crashout away from being labled a dangerous, naturally aggressive man. him distancing himself from both nat and lottie is his way of undoing all connection from the girls he's grown to fear. plus, hes fucking Tired. hes given up on ever returning to society.

it doesnt matter that his biceps are the size of boulders or that he gets to hold the rifle whenever natalie decides hes allowed to. he is stuck!! my boy is trapped!!! he cant fucking do or say anything no matter how much they do against him - this guy is rightfully scared! despite all his rage hes still just a rat in a cage guys

sorry if all this is fucking incomprehensible but i feel really strongly about him because sometimes it feels like im the only person in this fandom who Gets It and whatever feel free to still hate him this is just yelling into the void

[moonagedaydreamsofrhiannon]

Perhaps the wilderness in Yellowjackets is not just a symbol of death. Perhaps it is also—in its own way—freedom.

In the wilderness, Lottie didn’t have to hide her visions for fear of being called crazy. She was exalted as a leader and a prophet. But when she returned, they called her crazy and locked her up.

In the wilderness, Misty didn’t have to be ashamed of her intensity and eccentricity. She was helpful, she was needed, she was important. But when she returned, they called her a freak and exiled her once again.

In the wilderness, Tai didn’t have to pretend to be something she’s not. Her other self was not a weakness but a strength, it gave her power, and kept her alive. But when she returned she had to suppress her urges and hide her other self, or lose everything.

In the wilderness, Shauna didn’t have to be small, and hide the fire inside her. She was angry, and violent, and powerful. But when she returned, she was forced back into a supporting role, forced to contain her darkness and her drive in order to fit a role she never wanted to play.

In the wilderness, Travis didn’t have to put on an act to fit the societal expectations of masculinity. He was feminine, and emotional, and soft—not the man of the group, but just another Yellowjacket in the hive. But when he returned, he was forced back into the cage��back into the closet—isolated, hardened, closed off and separated from the girls once more.

In the wilderness, Natalie didn’t have to feel guilty for surviving. She was the hunter, the provider, and the gun in her hands made her a savior, and a leader, not a killer. But when she returned, she was a killer once again, haunted by guilt, and outcast by society for the things she did to stay alive.

The wilderness gave them the freedom to be their truest and most authentic selves, but the cost was the blood spilled. The cost was their old selves. The cost was a place in the world upon their return.

Maybe the wilderness did not destroy them; it simply changed them into something new, something irrevocably different, something that would never—could never—fit back inside the narrow box of their old lives, and because they could no longer fit, society called them broken.

The wilderness freed them, but it never let them go. Because once you’ve tasted flesh and blood, once you’ve stared death in the face and overcame, once you’ve been to the very brink and seen the true depth of your own capacity for violence, once all the former markers of morality and success have become meaningless, in a world where survival at all costs is the only law, how can you ever go back to a world ruled by pointless, hollow, conventions? Once you’ve shed every remnant of your humanity, once you’ve run with the wolves, and howled at the moon, and become one with the ancient wild gods, how can you ever be a human again? Once you’ve had a taste of complete freedom, how can you ever be satisfied with a fake, insignificant, half-life, made up entirely of half-truths and haunting?

MISTY IS SUCH A GOOD LAWYER!!!!!

i was paying attention to van a lot during the trial because i'm always staring at van and i really think that she knows dark tai started the fire and that's why she voted against coach.....bc when misty was talking even she seemed convinced like....

i do not understand why the episode was called 12 angry girls and 1 drunk travis because when was travis drunk or even on screen.... he had like one line? i would've really liked to hear his thoughts he's really growing on me :( because him and coach were at least somewhat close in the previous seasons and i doubt he actually believes he started the fire.

there's also a lot of things in the trial didn't make sense to me. like how does nat knowing that ben left before the fire mean that she knew WHERE he was the whole time? and why doesn't she say that??? and no one brought up ben saving shauna akilah and van in the previous episode. and why didn't tai mention how the door was stuck during the fire like someone had blocked them in?

also does no one want to know who ben was talking to

[panicloser]

I think a big issue with the adult timeline is that they try to hard to make big tension filled plot points and they do this while the teen timeline is ALSO having big tension filled plot points.

And so in comparison, since one of them is in the perfect setting for those kind of plot points: teenagers fending for themselves in the woods slowly losing it. The other setting in comparison the plot points feel kind of forced, not that interesting or just straight up goofy by comparison. Its also REALLY difficult to manage TWO plot heavy timelines at the same time! Especially when you have a limited amount of time to tell these stories.

Judging by the way a lot of shows are written, I think that showrunners often fear that if their shows plot isn't moving constantly or if they don't have enough twists and turns that people will get bored with the show. But in this show, they don't have to worry about that all the time because you already have a naturally plot heavy story in the teen timeline, that's where the intense exciting stuff is happening, that's why so many people are more into the teen story more than the adult one. So the adult timeline does not need to have a guy blackmailing them or a mystery to uncover or these people hunting them down and all these new side characters popping up, it doesn't need all of this flashy shit the teen timeline has that, it has understandable violence and fear and survival and desperation and deaths that make sense that they would happen because they're in the fucking woods.

The PURPOSE of the adult timeline is simply to show how those things that happened to them affect them as adults so just...do that. Show that. Just show them in their daily lives struggling with trauma, grief and untreated mental illness. Maybe have them interact more between each other. Maybe instead of the public's knowledge of their situation resulting in a big blackmail plot, it simply results in the feeling of strangers insensitively coming up to them and interrogating them on an experience that they couldn't possibly understand. Instead of stuffing in a bunch of new side characters with some police plotline or a random guy dying just have the ones directly involved in their life and how strained those relationships are. Maybe instead of their survival instincts coming out on these big mystery focused plotlines, they come out in every day experiences that aren't as easy to process when you're that traumatized and changed by your experiences and the things you had to do. How that trauma affects their family, their relationships, how it affects their job, how it affects their perception of the world. There are ways that they show this but the plots get so distracted with other shit that it's hard to focus on.

I think the adult timeline would greatly benefit if it had a more episodic, character focused plot. It has the chance to work with and spend time with the characters in that way which they can't do in the teen timeline. Do it there. Every episode focusing on different aspects of their life with those struggles and trauma.

I think this would first of all make the show easier to manage writing and time wise because you're not making two plot based shows at the same time, it would result in something for everyone so if you like episodic or plot based more you have something either way, and it would create an interesting unique contrast of two styles that provide a well rounded examination of how trauma affects people. The adults can still do violent shit sometimes but I just think the style and pace of it should change. I'm sure there are different issues that would come up but I think it would be a better deal than what we have now.

To summarize my thoughts on the adult timeline: I just wanna see some traumatized ladies I don't need all o' that

[before-it-felt-like-a-sin]

Istg people characterize Nat as this like femme fatale kind of character but she's like... literally not.

Like yes she's very confident and brash but in terms of romantic relationships (which we do see with Travis) she's sweet or goofy or sarcastic.

For Christ sake when she wanted to fuck Travis she did the cutest little run over to him on the bed!! In the script when she tries to be sultry it notes that it doesn't work for her!

She's a badass but being a badass doesn't mean that you're some sort of like... sex goddess.

Stop mischaracterizing my girl for the love of GOD.

[yllwjktscult]

this is a very very VERY long rant, but it needs to be said, so:

This a friendly reminder that THESE girls are 17-18 (probably some even 19 due to being stranded here for year and half and not being clarified when they were born), they are JUST kids (i feel like most people are forgetting about this fact that these girls are just teenagers who were so excited to play soccer at nationals and didnt know, that they will be stuck in the wilderness for 19 months, go thru hell and do things in order to survive).

Ofc they will do questionable things that would make you hate them/dislike them, they are just kids. they didnt even thought they would or could get rescued anymore. They had to adapt to their new life out there.

so heres a friendly reminder that:

!!! Spoilers for S3 in here so dont read if you havent seen it yet !!!

THIS is a 17-18 (probably 19 at this time) year old lottie without her meds who just killed a guy because she wanted to protect her friends (mind you shes schizophrenic and she probably thought they wanted to harm them. First human contact in months, that werent her friends. she thinks what she she did was right :( )

she saw the hikers as a thread to the way they live now. Lottie probably doesnt want to go home because back home, she was 'punished' for her visions, but here in the wilderness, they were appreciated and seen as truth (which some of them were). She was appreciated and be finally herself.

THIS is a 17 year old nat who just killed her coach, who begged her for weeks to kill him. The only father figure she had, butchered him and got under a lot pressure of her friends for several things for months (she feels guilty for javis death, jackies death and now bens death. and as well the pressure of being a leader and before that, being the ones together with travis to be responsible for food)

THIS is a 17 year old misty who HAD to fight for ben in trial, who she talked out of a suicide attempt before. Killed her best friend. Helped to give BIRTH as a teenager (and took a place as a 'nurse')

THIS is a 18 year old Mari trying to redo whats done. The one shauna took her anger the most at. Knowing their way to back to society was just ruined because someone who she looked up to before just killed their ticket to home.

shes was a scared teenager who followed the one who leaded/was in "charge" because she was scared teenager girl who just wanted to survive and wanted to have someone to 'lean on' in this tough times, so ofc she will switch up when a new "leader" happens. She just want to live..

she didnt want to rat Ben out, she couldnt find a believable lie they would believe (and was intimidated by shauna). She voted him innocent the whole time. She saw him suffering and thats why she was glad Nat did what she did. She loved ben esp after spending time with him in the cave. She was glad he didnt have to suffer anymore.

THIS is a 17-18 year old Shauna who was butchering for months, not only animals, but also a kid, a kid she was close with. Shauna who gave birth as a teenager in the middle of nowhere without medical help and lost her baby, lost her best friend forever due to an argument all in just matter of months.

Her hate and actions this season are very valid actually

THIS is a 17-18 (also like Lottie, probably 19) year old Taissa who saw her soulmate (almost) die in front of her. Who developed probably DID due to the trauma and the evil Tai took over her to 'protect' her from it.

THIS is a 17-18 year old van who got attacked by a wolf who almost killed her (in fact she did die for a while and almost got burned in a plane) who just wants to go home even if its her mother whos neglecting and abusing her.

THIS is a 16-17 year old travis who got sa'd, lost his father AND a brother, had a pressure of being a hunter and provider of food together with Nat. Who got pressured doing shrooms as a form of therapy (and connecting to wilderness) and started his addiction here. He was an outsider, he didnt knew these girls as they knew eachtoher. He was all alone when his brother died.

they were just kids. ofc they will act like how they did out there. Ofc they would start a 'cult'/their own society in here. They didnt thought they could get rescued anymore. They gave up hope on that months ago.

the concept of wilderness or it is the girls coping mechanism to deal with the fact, that they are stranded somewhere they have no idea where they are and the fact they might have never been back to society again.

They accepted that this is their life, so ofc they would react how they did when there was a possible change of that.

In fact, Ben indeed was their bridge to home. If Nat didnt kill him, didnt 'celebrate' his death and if they didnt sing, the hikers wouldnt find them.

So at some point, he indeed did save them, not right away, but eventually. Because the hikers will get missing and a rescue will come look for them (because they know where they went) and instead of the frog hikers, they will find the girls.

You can dislike the character but keep in mind, those girls are just teenager girls trying to survive what life throwed at them, aka, being in the middle of wilderness.

Hating a character in this show is too much imo. All of the characters are beautifully written and portrayed by the actors. If you hate the character i assume you dont understand them (which is fine!!) but i feel like the hate is actually so forced and people are forgetting THAT THEY ARE JUST KIDS who didnt even in their worse nightmares thought they will be stuck in the wilderness when the plane crashed.

yes, each girl did some questionable things that might have make you dislike them, each one of them has their pros and cons but THEY ARE JUST TRAUMATISED KIDS TRYING TO SURVIVE.

me personally i am not a big fan of shauna and taissa, both adult and teen timeline, however thats what makes them so interesting to me. I wanna learn more why they act the way the do so i can understand them more. And i know, over time i will.

Lottie, nat, mari and misty are my favourite since season 1 for multiple reasons, but mostly because i see myself in them, not completely but i see myself in them.

so over all, this is just a friendly reminder that these girls, the ones you are hating on, are just traumatised teenagers who tried their best to survive somewhere in the middle of nowhere without knowing they will get rescued one day.

it probably does not make sense, but my point was just to point out that they are just kids and the hate im seeing everywhere on each mentioned girl (and travis) is making me sad.

Like, are we all watching the same show? This incredibly amazing show, that shows how trauma and ptsd makes you act/develops you into a different person?

[soapyjackets]

wishing yellowjackets was in the “1 season has 20+ episodes” format so we could have filler episodes

[screenshotsonpinterest]

you know what FUCK you I thought it was a good finale here are my thoughts

- Evil dictator Shauna has never looked better. She slayed those cunty braids, serving face

- GET HER GAY ASS TRAVIS, idk something about his cunty bob and looser personality has charmed me this season I fear that is my man

- I love Mari being pit girl, I fear it was always going to be here, I'll miss her so but she went out as an icon love you baby. I do, however, agree with the criticism that the writers keep killing of the characters of color, even though i do think it was always going to be Mari. There is absolutely historical and cultural implications to Shauna taking her hair, but they were established as rivals for the whole season

-I like the reframing, I thought it was interesting, I was getting hyped up through the whole sequence. I might make a longer post about the disappointment with it. But it hurt more, it being more personal

-LOVED lottie not covering her face for the hunt excellence

-I get why people are upset with Lottie not getting a plane death scene but I think what we got makes a lot of sense, she's got shit to do from beyond the gave she's not done

-LOVED Callie killing Lottie, really the only answer I would have liked, though I agree should have been a longer sequence

-Jeff they'll never make me hate you good for you get out of there though I do fear Callie might end up stabbing his ass

-TAI EATING VAN'S HEART I can't believe they invented being gay

-They were so close to doing something interesting with Melissa and Van thematically but it just didn't work I hope they hit Mel with a car in season 4

-But Tai and Misty at the diner like Tai and Shauna were at the diner idk it worked for me maybe I'm low brow

-For tai, Lottie, and Shauna to have compartmentalized the end of their time in the wilderness makes sense to me. Shauna is the delulu queen. But I wouldn't be surprised if Travis, Nat, Misty, and Mel actually remembered and understood they just reckoned with it personally. I doesn't feel all that retconned to me

-And a win for my baby girl natalie she deserved it. Though I'm scared for when she gets back to the group Im FASINATED to see what happens between now and rescue i hope they kill a few more people off

-IDK i was gagged with the ending, I do think it was a little rushed but that seems to me to be an issue with the episode length and number, all the elements were there, it feels like things are ending

[eli-evermore]

Do ya'll see what I'm seeing???

[before-it-felt-like-a-sin]

hi! could you write a fic or headcanons about being in a love triangle in the wilderness (maybe shauna x reader x lottie, or any of the girls idk, you can decide!)

Love Triangle in the Wilderness Headcanons

Pairing: Shauna x Lottie x Reader

I fear this may not be EXACTLY what you wanted but this is what came to me

--------------------------------------------------------

It would def be Shauna and Lottie (or Nat and Lottie but I think Shautie fits better for this)

Imagining you're in a situationship type thing with Shauna post crash...

It's all fine until after Jackie dies, like Lottie has no interest in you for the first 3-4 months

But then Jackie dies and Shauna's always in the shed, so you start hanging out with Lottie more

Going to her prayer circles or whatever, getting up with her to bless Nat for the hunt

Shauna notices and gets super fucking jealous, like absolutely livid

She forgives you when you're ultimately pro "let Shauna spend hours talking to Jackie's body", but she still gets jealous when she sees you with Lottie

As winter goes on, though, Shauna starts to get even more jealous. Especially because Lottie keeps hanging around both of you now

Like you're talking to the baby and Lottie joins in, and Shauna gets pissed about it

Both you and Lottie are super confused because you're literally just trying to help her and the baby

Imagining you kind of take the place of Tai when Shauna has her outburst and goes into labor, and you're dragging her back to the cabin

Kind of involving yourself in the wilderness stuff while Shauna gives birth

After the baby dies Shauna's obviously not the same, but she's really cold and distant to you

You start getting even closer to Lottie, and that just makes it worse

Trying to pull Shauna off of Lottie during the fight, but Nat and Taissa hold you back so you don't get hurt too

You're torn between helping Lottie and helping Shauna afterward

Ultimately you go to Shauna because the others have Lottie

Bandaging Shauna's hands and telling her to leave them in the snow for a bit

But then checking on Lottie every day, her telling you what she told Misty (to eat her if she dies) and telling her she's not gonna die

Yall still doing the hunt anyways, not sure how the logistics of that play out

You and Shauna make up and talk about the whole Lottie situation

Shauna also talks with Lottie and the three of you are now in a complicated romantic entanglement (bc it's not a relationship)

You and Shauna start taking care of Lottie while she continues to heal

[toastghostisatoaster]

rip adam from yellowjackets you loved milfs to a fault

[ultrone]

I’m up late so here are some HC’s I have of the girlies

Nat:

- You get her one of those “back off, I love my gf” shirts as a joke, expecting her to never put it on and she wears it RELIGIOUSLY. She is so proud to wear that shit

- (If you’re lucky enough to have a positive male figure, a grandfather or father in your life) one time overhears Nat talking about her home life and now that male figure is determined to make her feel safe and happy. He’ll insist that you both join him for fishing and while you’re apprehensive, Nat is 100% down.

-She never has water or lunch because she forgets/chooses to not take care of herself so you drop it off to her at practice everyday

- She sleeps with a stuffed animal but will not let ANYONE know

Shauna:

- Early riser, even when sleeping w you but she will just happily lay next to you, holding your hand, admiring you while you sleep just taking you in for a few extra moments.

- she has a scrapbook of everything you guys have done (movie tickets, Polaroids, etc), and she also keeps all the flowers you’ve ever gotten her in there after they’ve dried and withered

- She loves stargazing, she knows astronomy and can and will point out the constellations to you

- Reading to or with each other is common and probably a love language, especially reading the other to sleep

Lottie:

- Surprisingly very good at all the fine arts; she can draw well, she definitely can play the piano bc her rich parents paid for her to have lessons, etc

- Blanket stealer; she insists on having the AC CRANKED at night, then steals the blankets while you both are sleeping and you wake up with hypothermia while she’s snuggled up in all your blankets

- She wasn’t allowed to have a pet so you buy her a single goldfish once and she loves it so much, she let you name it (you named it something stupid but she still calls it what you want) it dies in like 2 days because as intelligent as she is she is incapable of taking care of another living thing and she is inconsolable for days. You got her a succulent to make her feel better

Jackie:

- Clingy (derogatory) sure it’s cute of her at first until she’s waking up at 5 am for her morning practices and wakes you up too so you both can “brush your teeth together”

- She will always ask for your old marked up books to read and she makes small notes in the margins in a different color before giving them back (She has reading glasses too, and she looks gorgeous in them)

- She asks you to help her stretch, or roll out her muscles before practice but she doesn’t need help she just wants to get you flustered and have your hands all over her

I LOVE THEM 🤭

nat would wear that shirt 24/7 istg 😭 especially as her pjs, and omg i love the idea of your male parental figure inviting nat to everything as well 🥹 even if it’s just something simple like going out for brunch, it’d make her feel way better and more welcomed. and her forgetting to bring lunch everyday is SO REAL 😭 then she’ll prolly buy a bag of chips and a soda as her first meal of the day and then complain about having a stomach ache 🙄 GIRL… also for sure, i bet her plushy is a little white bunny with long ears that was given to her as a toddler.

shauna has always given me the vibe that she wakes up at 9am idk but yeah she’d def just lay there looking at you 😭😭 and the scrapbook thing is SO TRUE, i bet she also adds entries of everything you do together 🫣 since she loves stargazing you got her one of those custom star maps of your anniversary day and she LOVED IT 🥹 and she for sure loves reading to you and hearing you read her favourite books to her

i def see lottie being good at drawing and playing the piano 😌 i also bet she’s especially good at painting landscapes and stuff like that. whenever u complain about her taking the blankets, she’ll just tell you to snuggle up to her to get warmer instead of actually sharing her blanket with you 🙄🙄 but if you’re the one stealing the blankets she’ll pout and whine for hours until you share them with her… the AUDACITY 😒 my girl came back from school on a random day and realized the goldfish wasn’t there anymore, she got concerned and asked the domestic helper what had happened, and she told her that the fish died like two weeks ago ☠️☠️ when i tell u lottie was SHOCKED… she was so embarrassed that she told you that it got a weird disease and died from natural causes LMFAOO

jackie waking you up so you can brush your teeth together is so real 😭😭 my girl doesn’t get the concept of having “alone time.” i just know it takes jackie an hour to read 3 pages, i bet she spends half of that time drawing silly little doodles all over the margins ☠️ and for sure, she also asks u to rub sunscreen on her body even though she could do it herself, she just wants to feel your touch 🫣
