#yellowjackets ramble

[dracoj]

mari is so funny i hope she never gets a backstory or emotional depth. she’s in the woods to cook stew and be a hater. and they’re all out of stew

inspired by an actual tweet

cant get over how fucking funny it was for the yellowjackets marketing team to bait us into thinking jackie was this serious surviving final girl type from the promos and poster only for us to find out like two episodes in that whoops! she's been dead since the beginning! and she is not serious at all, she is there to bitch about things and go through the full spectrum of human emotion. and she not only sucks at survival she fully gives up on it. and she dies from the effects of a homoerotic friendship. peak television honestly

[shaunas-journal]

the homoerotic urge to want your best friend so much that your desire for her morphs into bitterness and hate

Went through gay people withdrawals needed to feel something

something about nats rant to travis about how girls are allowed to like sex too just.. idk. i feel its such a statement of her character. she knows what its like to be a girl whos shamed for sex while guys are praised for it. she feels and understands deeply how being a woman affects how people view her. i mean, she even had those feminist posters on her bedroom wall. but idk i just think natalies relationship with both sex/intimacy and girlhood really craft a lot of her views. im not saying sex is like, a huge part of her, im just saying i think its important that we have a female character who isnt ashamed to say that she likes sex, while also calling out the double standard she faces as a woman. idk idk im rambling

mari praying to the wilderness that "shauna doesnt die" and travis starting the blood ritual with the animal skull and lottie's "the wilderness recognizes your sacrifice" and everyone was excited for this baby but subconsciously i think they would all choose shauna over the baby. shauna doesnt eat and the baby eats and shauna lives and the baby dies (jackie drinks the cocoa and dies, lottie doesn't eat at the food court and lives) (jackie whispers shauna's name and she lives, shauna welcomed her back into the warm warm cabin and jackie died), shauna "it's you and me kid against the whole world" while feeding her baby and so he never lives at all. a blood sacrifice was made so that one of them can live. in any other show, it would be the damn baby. any other show, shauna would die and the baby would live and shauna would never be remembered as anything other than his dead mother. the baby eats and he dies. they make a blood sacrifice and shauna wakes up. jackie whispers shauna's name and shauna lives.

shauna sadecki née shipman is The Woman Ever mrs unhinged housewife why-should-MY-actions-have-consequences??? MILF extraordinare kills rabbits without flinching and serves them to her husband and daughter stabs her lover in a PTSD-induced panic who made her feel sort-of Alive™️ for the first time in years then dismembers his corpse and only gets upset that it might send her to jail fucked her best friend's boyfriend because it was the closest thing she could get to fucking her best friend and only really regretted getting caught left her best friend to perish in the elements and misses her every day accused jackie of peaking in high school then did Exactly That. i'm obsessed with her. she should have been born in a wilderness somewhere hunting animals for food and killing trespassers instead she's gnawing at the bars on her kitchen windows

Here for You

It’s around three in the morning when you hear tapping against your window pane. It gets increasingly louder and more intense. Half-asleep, you rush over to the window to search for the source. You’re expecting a stray cat wanting to escape the thunderstorm, but instead, you’re met with your girlfriend, Natalie. Despite the rainy weather, it’s obvious to you that she’s been crying.

“Nat?” you ask sleepily as you quickly open the window and let her inside. She’s soaked; as soon as her feet make contact with the floor, she collapses into a pile. She’s sobbing, her body shaking. Not caring about how wet she is, you instantly pull her into a hug. She buries her head into your chest as she cries. You sit together on the floor, stroking her hair and mumbling reassurance as she sniffles.

When she calms a bit, you help her stand. You give her a pair of sleep shorts and a shirt to change into, helping her undress and pull the warm clothing on. You frown as she shivers and then grab a towel to dry her hair.

“What happened, Nat?” you ask quietly, trying to keep your noise levels at a minimum so as not to wake your family. She sniffles, wiping at her ruined makeup with a facial tissue. She simply shakes her head at you, signifying she’s not ready to discuss it. You nod in response, helping her over to your bed. It may confuse whoever finds you tomorrow, but she needs you right now, and you don't care about being scolded for having your girlfriend stay the night.

You hold her in your arms, her face nestled in the crook of your neck. You gently kiss her forehead and tell her it will all be alright. She hums in response, placing a tender kiss on your pulse point. The last thing you hear before you drift off is a soft, quiet “Thank you.”

shauna shipman is redefining the toxic girlbestieship game. “codependent” cannot even begin to describe shaunajackie, and we’re starting off wrong by implying they’re even distinct enough to use that label. are you codependent with your stomach? your liver? death tore them apart permanently - jackie frozen eternally young and impossibly perfect - but in doing so, eroded all the other boundaries between them: emotional, mental, physical. you’re with her boyfriend. you’re playing sleepover games with her corpse. eventually you’ll bury yourself in the life she might’ve had, in the way you’ll never bury her. you can’t. she’s in your head. she’s in your mouth. and once you digest her, she’ll be in your baby too.

that scene where natalie wakes up from a nightmare and tries to comfort lottie when she realizes shes staring at the attic is...... so so important to me.

she couldve so easily just rolled over and pretended she didnt see anything. lottie wasnt facing her, she didnt know nat was woke up or saw her. she couldve kept to herself, calmed herself down from her nightmare, and tried to get some better sleep.

but she didnt. she has a brief moment of confusion and apprehension, like shes creeped out or something. but then she realizes its lottie, and calls out to her. when lottie doesnt respond, natalie, again, could have just like. sighed and rolled over and let it go. but instead she crawls over to her, looking just.. so fucking concerned and sad for lottie. her little 'hey...' as she gets closer, so lottie can know she's there. the reassurance that the body is gone, hes buried. a way of letting her know that she has nothing to be anxious about, theyre safe- even if nat herself doesn't believe they'd be in danger bc of a corpse.

natalie just knows all too well what its like to be scared of something, or someone, thats not there anymore. and even as she wakes up struggling with that very thing, she recognizes it in lottie, too, and just wants to quell it and comfort her

[thelyreoforpheusmp3]

What gets me in 2.4 is the normality of it. Like yeah it’s an impossible situation in which precisely nothing is normal - Lottie just barely escaped death.

Yet the scene, that sentence from Lottie ("You fucking loser"), it’s so normal, so teenagers making fun of each other for losing. She’s really seeking that normality, when with the others she has to be Lottie, their leader/prophet/messiah. Here she lets herself be just Lottie, she lets herself be Lottie in front of Nat, the only one besides Laura Lee she has expressed her doubts in front of - granted, often when provoked by her, but "What do you want me to say ? I just said what I felt" is actually an admission of vulnerability in my opinion.

Speaking of vulnerability : Nat helping Lottie wash herself and get warm (very biblical may I add) and apologizing, taking the blame : "This is all my fault, I’m really sorry". Her relationship with Lottie up to this point could have called for another argument, yet she’s vulnerable, she bares her neck — oh, by the way, a parallel to the scene in the future where Nat puts her head on Lottie’s lap, sacrificial lamb style.

Just two people who haven’t let themselves be vulnerable in front of many people since the crash being vulnerable with each other.

In conclusion : I love them. They make me crazy. And of course : they’re gay.
