taipril day 24! taissa and simone wedding pic

I'm sorry but Tai and Simone were so cute ... their short domestic bliss was fun to follow! 💞

[r-osehips]

also shoutout to Simone can we get some love for Simone. she finds out her wife beheaded the family dog and made an evil altar in the basement and instantly jumped into action to protect her child with absolutely zero vacillating (that we saw).

I may be extrapolating too much but maybe Taissa married someone who is the type of person she thinks she should be? warm and kind but unflinchingly ethical and protective of her family, clear-eyed, sharp. she and Tai share so many of those traits but in the end Tai is the one who lets Simone down.

(to be clear: I’m in love with Taissa Turner, she has both my vote and my heart, but babygirl is not ok and i just think Simone should be applauded for not fucking around for even two seconds after what she found out. I really hope we get to see more of her!!)

I just wanna say thankyou to Tawny Cypress and YJ' intimacy coach. The passion is on 10, the kisses feel realistic af, and the directors don't pull away from the moment. The kiss lingers and the camera stays with it, i.e. viewers unapproving gotta hold that breathe for longer. This is such good adult representation on TV of gay people kissing, thankyou.

Yellowjackets (2021-). "Family Portrait" - P!nk

[sukibenders]

I really enjoy Yellowjackets but the way it throws its poc characters to the side, the way the fandom does is so unsurprising but saddening at the same time. Shauna is one of my favorite characters, she's cool and stuff but, being honest, the trope of housewife having an affair because she's bored of her current life has been played before. So what if this one had certain elements outside of it, it's still common so it kind of grew tiring to see Yellowjackets constantly shove this plot at me when Tai's storyline is right there.

Taissa, a biracial woman who, even after living through something horrific as a kid, "bounced back" and lived the life she always wanted. She was a lawyer, now ran for and won a position in office, married a beautiful and smart woman and had a son, has a whole perfect family who she loves. Only for the trauma, the aspect of her life she promised herself and others to never talk about, is now coming back and in the process causes her to do things she doesn't want to do. The plot that could have come from Taissa alone is out of this world. You mean to tell me that a biracial lesbain running for office wouldn't be more entertaining than Shauna's storyline? Why couldn't Tai be the main focus?

And I don't even want to get into the fandom, but I have too. Listen, I like TaiVan for all that they are. They helped each other survive during a time where they thought it would be impossible. But what annoys me and, sadly, almost pushed me away from this ship, was how the writers and fans treat Simone and Sammy. Like the shows only way to have Tai together with Van was to put her wife in a coma and abandoned her son? That really does not sound like Tai, who fought to get her old life. And very insidious how some fans make certain jokes that just reek of "Let's push away the black characters to make room for the yte ones", because I've seen people call Simone the villain, to other things, just because she told Tai to get help all while framing Van as the better option. I've seen people in the fan call Sammy unnatural or even a demon just because he exists in a way that is not natural, by that I mean acting out and expressing coping mannerisms because he saw a version of his mother who terrified him but can't express, but I forgot because he's a little black boy who needs help people will ignore him or dehumanize him, because that's how this works right? The shows main, and only dark-skinned black characters were quickly pushed aside by the plot for what?

And I have a feeling the show may make us watch Taissa go through great lengths to keep Van alive (even though I do want Van to live), but won't extend the same want to Simone, which will read badly with the undertones in so many ways.

And the fandom treats Tai poorly as well (don't even get me started on some pretending to care about her family just to hang it over her head and call her a deadbeat) and reaching some nearly very ableist thinking when talking about her. Taissa deserved so much better, from the show and the fandom, and I hope they do better in season three but I'm not so sure to be honest, because most of the scenes even having mentions of Tai's blackness were because of Jasmine, not the showrunners, who it would be fine if it were small things here and there but to add so many crucial parts to your character because others won't begins to become a pattern.

Ngl TaiVan will probably always be a little tainted for me seeing as how they put Simone in a coma to make it happen.

So, any thoughts on what Dr. Sandlow had to say, or were you too busy checking your inbox? We just learned our son doesn't remember any of the things we accused him of. aHe thinks he's telling the truth.

taipril days 25 + 26... imagine a world where biscuit did not interrupt them in that office

eulogy singer -- simone pov; you wake up in a hospital bed and no one will tell you where your wife is. simone im so sorry the writers actively ignored u! i love u!

you wake up alone and in the dark and there’s a sign that says 'your name is simone abara. you’ve been in a car accident. your son is okay. ' it doesn’t mention taissa, who you know was there with you. you don’t remember the crash, or the moments leading up to it, but you remember her call, telling you that sammy had walked from school all the way home. you remember how you believed her, how the panic settled in your hands and lungs when he wasn’t in his room. your son is okay, the sign insists, but it says nothing about your wife.

The way some Yellowjackets fans talk about Simone and Sammy because they love Tai and Van made me remember yet again fandom spaces are still very white. This does mean that some people are just gonna never realize what they're saying is weird before they say it or they do not care.

Like some fans are really hoping that by the end of the season 2nd Tai (a lighterskinned biracial woman) sacrifices her black wife and child (who are both darkskin) for her white former lovers health. Without putting together why that is a very odd ask, whether the writers go there or not. I hope they don't cause I know Akilah not making it and that will be hard enough.

But, why would any fan want for a sacrifice?

Like a theory or could happen is one thing but people really are out here like I want x or y to be sacrificed for Van's health. Why can't they just get a bone offering and Tai uses her Saint John's Hopkins connections. It doesn't have to be so brutal, the dog sacrifice didn't even stop Tai from sleepwalking but it did what sleep-Tai wanted which was push Tai towards the other women and Van.
