In Defense of Van

I've seen some hate for Adult Van because of her actions in the season 2 finale of Yellowjackets, and with season 3 about a month away, I want to give my perspective on her actions during the hunt. I'll give a spoiler warning from this point on, just in case.

First of all, does Van believe as an adult?

I don't think so. She was nowhere near Lottie and didn't even know she wasn't in Switzerland anymore when Tai came to her shop, and she was originally going to leave after dropping Tai off. She never seemed particularly happy to be there and wasn't enthusiastic to see Lottie, and none of them wanted to go on the hunt. She seemed to have accepted her cancer diagnosis and was as content as someone could be in that situation. Her face when she saw Lottie was one of shock, not one of reverence.

Why does she ask Tai to call off the psych team?

Van tells Tai why she wants her to call off the psych team. She wants to help Lottie on their own because they made a pact to watch out for each other. Putting her back in a mental health facility wouldn't help her. Just because Van doesn't believe anymore doesn't mean she doesn't care about Lottie. They were close in the Wilderness, and that's not going to go away. When she says, "We made her like this." she is expressing her guilt for what happened in the Wilderness and why she wants them to help her on their own.

What about her actions during the hunt?

This is where a theory I came up with after watching the episode comes into play. I think Van managed to rig the deck to make sure none of them got the queen card on the first draw. After they all picked a card, she nodded her head like she was happy with the outcome. Then Lottie told them to draw again, and the face she made definitely wasn't happy. She looked upset and scared because she likely wanted to reason with Lottie after that, but the opportunity was taken away. They all start following Shauna after she gets the queen the second time, but it doesn't look like any of them, except Lottie, are really into it. None of them are screaming or even seem like they are having any kind of fun. This is in stark contrast with the hunt in the teen timeline when they are going after Natalie.

What about the aftermath of the hunt?

Van definitely didn't want to see anyone killed. I don't believe she would have killed Shauna, and they were all upset when Natalie was killed. She isn't really responsible for Natalie's death since she had no idea about Lisa or Misty's weapon, but that doesn't mean she and everyone else don't feel guilty. I don't think the idea even crossed her mind to have someone sacrificed to cure her cancer because her entire demeanor is one of acceptance, and she doesn't believe in the Wilderness as an adult. When Lottie says, "The Wilderness has been fed. You'll see." She grimaces. Again, it is not a happy expression. She knows what Lottie means, but she doesn't believe it anymore, plus Natalie is dead.

Van in the teen timeline

A lot of people seem to think what she said to Travis after Javi died makes her a horrible person, but while it was maybe a little heartless and harsh, it makes perfect sense why she said it. Van is a survivor. She is happy to be alive in a situation where she has almost died multiple times, and realistically they're all happy they will live another day. Also, at this point, she believes in the Wilderness. When she says, "Don't let his sacrifice go to waste." she is not manipulating him. As a believer, she really does believe that the Wilderness chose, and it would be wrong not to eat what they were given.

This isn't to absolve Van of all guilt or turn her into a saint, I just wanted to share my interpretation of her character and give another perspective to those who dislike her.

The ABC's of LGBTQIA+ Identities: The Basics: Gender

Both sex and gender are a spectrum. The sex spectrum includes male, female, and intersex people. Intersex is an umbrella term for about 2% of the population that are born with differences in their sex traits and reproductive anatomy. These differences include genitalia, chromosomes, gonads, internal sex organs, hormone production, hormone response, and/or secondary sex traits.

Gender is also a spectrum. Gender includes men and women, boys and girls, and nonbinary people. Nonbinary is an umbrella term for many different identities. Gender is a social construct that includes gender roles. Gender roles are how someone is expected to behave based on their gender. This has changed throughout history and is different depending on culture and where you live in the world. Gender roles can be damaging and shouldn’t be forced on anyone, regardless of gender identity.

Gender identity is what gender someone perceives themselves as. This is the gender they are, regardless of their sex. Gender expression is how someone will express their gender identity. This can include, clothing, hairstyles, and pronouns. Pronouns would include he, she, and they.

Someone’s gender identity is what is important to other people on a day-to-day basis. Whether someone is cisgender and identifies with the sex they were assigned at birth or transgender and doesn’t identify as the sex they were assigned at birth, everyone deserves basic respect. Science supports trans people and science supports human rights.
