Lesbian Misty Quigley you mean so much to me

Lesbian Misty Quigley who’s always wanted nothing more than to be normal, to be included, but can never quite get there and doesn’t know why. Lesbian Misty Quigley with comphet, who’s always manipulating men to try and get them to like her, who serial dates and tries to be sexy for them, because that’s what she thinks she’s supposed to do. Who seeks approval like she needs air, yes from men, but more importantly from her female peers whose opinions matter most to her. Lesbian Misty Quigley who found her place in The Wilderness, being useful to these girls who meant everything to her, and who has felt unmoored, without a purpose since they left The Wilderness. Lesbian Misty Quigley who has been in love with Nat since they were kids, who translates that love into devotion and obsession and acts of service. Lesbian Misty Quigley who asks “when people look at me do they just see someone desperate for love?” because she is desperate. She’s desperate for the approval and validation she’s been chasing her whole like, that she thinks is synonymous with love, but even more so she’s desperate for real love, actual reciprocated romantic love. But she can’t accept that she wants that from women because then she’d have to accept that her worst fears are true: she is different. So she lies and manipulates and stalks and forces her way into people’s lives because that’s the only way she knows how to love them.

Soulmates.

I was in a discord server earlier, and we got to talking about the Yellowjackets as soulmates, and I thought I'd share those thoughts here, just a nice little put together catalogue of all those thoughts put together. I might add to this, too, as more pairings and relationships come to me.

For the record, I want to point out that I think that all of these characters are soulmates, far beyond ship dynamics, far beyond romance. What makes up the insides of one makes up the insides of the others because they are all the same: teenage girls trapped in either growing or decaying bodies. Their souls are all mated to the others in some way or another.

Tai and Van are a pair. Two separate souls that are a part of a matched set, like socks. They can be worn mismatched, certainly, but they really are at their best together. Tai gives Van a purpose. Van calms Tai's "demons." They can exist without each other, live without each other, love without each other, but they just are at their best together.

Lottie and Nat are that sort of star-crossed soulmates, doomed soulmates. There's a red string of fate but its severed somewhere in the middle. They can be good for each other, laugh and smile and hold each other close. They can be the worst of each other, holding knives to each other's throats, laughing in the face of it. They're the epitome of a missed chance. What kind of missed chance? That's up for you to decide.

Misty and Nat are the kind of soulmates that don't seem like they'd match, but they work so good together. The believer and the skeptic (though who is who changes with the circumstance, the belief, the skepticism). Orange and blue. Salt and sweet. Chaotic good and lawful evil. They're diametrically opposed but in a way that makes sense, in a way that works together. They each feed off of what makes the other their opposite. One is running, the other is chasing. Of course one would die at the hand of the other.

Lottie and Laura Lee are the kind of soulmates where each thinks they are the worshipper while the other is the god. A prophet, a believer, a worship under the sun. Souls that just burn brighter around each other (and that pun was unintentional the first time but very intentional with the emphasis). Both want to help the other. Both want to hold the other. They are belief without boundaries personified. Each is Icarus. Each is the sun.

Tai and Shauna are soulmates in a way that recognizes "That is my person." Two people that have so much in common, who understand each other, who both recognize the want in the other. They have an understanding and a care for each other that's fierce. I see you, you see me, ad it might not be pretty, but we will be honest with each other. Especially as the two of them have aged; time has not erased their understanding of one another.

Jackie and Nat are soulmates in a way that isn't explored a lot in the show but has been discussed, from what I've seen, really well. Foils. Two sides of the same coin. Opposites. Rich girl, poor girl. Prude, slut. There are certain stereotypes around both of them that, from a glance, seem to play out. One only needs to look deeper to really see it. Unfortunately, from the show, we never really see the two of them see past their expectations of each other.

Jackie and Shauna. Two heads, one heart. I don't know where you end and I begin and all that. We've been there, we've done that. We know it by heart. They're not a pair because a pair implies separation, and there is none. You can cut out your heart, and you can even replace it, but it's never the same. They're two shattered halves of the same fucked up whole. When one piece is gone, the hole cannot be filled properly ever again. There are some species of worms that, when worm cut in half, can keep living as two separate entities. That does not negate the fact that it was once one whole creature. They're unhealthy together. They're unnatural apart. One did not live long enough to remedy either of these facts.

(If Jackie's heart was still beating, I know it would beat in time with Shauna's. I hope Shauna ate it to feel it beat with hers one last time.)

six of the most mentally unstable 40yo suburban women you will ever meet all locked in The Sharing Shack together where they hash out their drama… say what you will about season 2 of yellowjackets, but you cannot deny this was an entertaining 2 minutes of television

[jollyreginaldrancher]

[frootlooppoptarts]

It was all my design

[susiemyersonislifegoals]

Will ghost Jackie and ghost Natalie ever share a scene? Haunt Misty with otherworldly knowledge of her crimes? Torment Shauna in a dream about how her recklessness directly led to their deaths? Show up in one of Lottie's visions to warn of something coming for Tai or Van?

And if they do, even though it makes both narrative and logistical sense for ghost Natalie to be played by Sophie, can you imagine Juliette standing behind Ella as they stare into the survivors with one gaze that extends through all the years?

thinking about how in Yellowjackets, Misty and Natalie are the first Flight 2525 survivors that are shown to be mentally unstable on screen. That Misty is the first Yellowjacket we actually know engaged in cannibalism, that shes the first one we see the face of in the wilderness. Thinking about how Natalie and Misty are portrayed as violent and sadistic, jumping to the most extreme solution first with Misty withholding care from a patient that antagonizes her, and Natalie immediately jumping to using her shotgun. Thinking about how Taissa and Shauna, though each portrayed to be a bit unhappy in their own way at first are actually more unstable, faster to resort to violence and threats. How Misty and Natalie only actually hurt/kill other people when they're trying to protect or help someone else.

Thinking about How Misty and Natalie actually know and admit that they're bad people, but Taissa, Shauna, Lottie, and Van do their best to deny that theyre bad at all, and blame their actions on anything and everything else.

Who's worse? The monster that knows they're evil, or the monster that pretends not to?

I’m calling it now, Walter is a serial killer, and he went to find Misty because he intended to play “Moriarty” to the most annoying citizen detective on his true crime subreddit. Before murdering her. So she’d stop downvoting his posts.

Misty also being a serial killer was a delightful romcom surprise, just like their musicals.

third times the charm?

[leitnerpiper420]

i saw it guys i saw mistynat episode 10 season 1 at the reunion i saw them holy shit

[2008hondacivic]

Misty would’ve been a Warrior Cats girl if she had been born at the right time

[jackietaylorsversion]

I love watching the adult Yellowjackets make decisions. I do. The suspicious guy that you've been seeing gets a little too close for comfort? Kill him. Feeling threatened by a former classmate that you were stranded out in the Wilderness with? Threaten them more! Don't trust your friends? Hire someone to stalk them! Being stalked? Lock her in your basement, pry information out of her, and then kill her. Feeling powerless? Start a cult! Never move on! Because here's the thing: none of them have ever moved on. They can't. They can try, they can pretend, they can even do it convincingly for a time, but we see how it ends: a group of women, a playing card, and a hunt that didn't end just because they made it out of the woods. Because they didn't make it out of the woods. They brought it back with them

So are their decisions silly? Isn't it strange that they'd jump back into the Wilderness shit when they get back together? No, not at all. Because this is what they know. I bet these women go back there most days, most nights. They may have made it out of the Wilderness alive, but all of them died in a way out there. All of them are just teenage girls that were never allowed to grow up, and none of them have taken the time to process that, it seems. I love getting to see that through the decisions they make.
