i feel like if nat did recover and drag the other girls into recovery we just... wouldn't really have an adult storyline anymore? so i don't think her dying was the Worst choice, but i also just don't... see how it's supposed to feel narratively satisfying or narratively tragic. they could've absolutely made it feel that way with the writing this season but rn i'm just not seeing it.

#yellowjackets tag #yj spoilers #i also do understand the sentiments of seeing a character fighting to live for all her life finally getting better only to die #and im not sure how to feel about that #i dont rly think this is the show For that sort of positive development - at least not this soon into it #maybe? i mean we saw shauna making some progress about callie but... if the show is about trauma #they need to keep spiraling i guess for 3 more seasons idk :/#it's just. im devastated but if they'd made it feel more narratively tragic i would be on board #not just 'oh shes trying so hard to recover then boop she dies </3' cheap tragic just... idk im not making the connections here #they couldve juxtaposed her will to live with her death in a way that's... more impactful i guess #which is so weird to say bc she died the way she wishes she did for javi all those years ago but i still didnt. feel it.#but i wouldve been alright with that probably - not happy obvs but if it served the story better i'd be less weird feeling rn #they just....... really wasted nat for so much of this season it didn't feel earned #idk. gonna hopefully do a rewatch so i can see what mightve been leading up that i missed the first time #im just... not feeling a lot of this
