(SPOILERS FOR CHARACTER DEATH IF YOU HAVEN’T FINISHED SEASON 3 UNDER THE CUT)

‘Shauna was cursed with raising Jackie’s daughter’

‘Shauna gave birth to Jackie’s daughter’

Okay, and if I said Shauna is projecting how she remembers Jackie onto Callie?

What if Callie isn’t Jackie’s daughter and is just a girl has the misfortune of being born to a mother who’s severely traumatized with the traits of a girl her mother used to love and then hated because of fucked up circumstances and the need to justify that she ate her first?

———————

Or that maybe Callie is trying to get her mother’s attention like how Shauna may have tried to get her own mother’s attention and reminds Shauna of herself before the plane crash?

We see Callie trying to get Shauna’s approval or even just her attention a few times in the show only for it to backfire in some way.

I understand that Shauna isn’t a good mother mostly because of her trauma and that she just isn’t a good family person in general but what if she’s scared of turning into her own mother? Like I said in a previous post, teen Shauna DOES NOT want to become her mother. She didn’t want to become a stay at home mom and she still became one, who’s to say that she isn’t acting like Callie’s Grandmother?

———————

Callie is a product of a failing marriage and came from two people who married each other out of guilt instead of love. Two people whose relationship was never truly romantic it was just there until it snowballed into having a baby and being stuck together. They didn’t know how to move forward or grieve for someone who COULD have been alive if circumstances were different but they aren’t.

Callie also doesn’t have a good grasp on what a healthy relationship is like and we see with her ex (who just fucking disappeared out of the story), he didn’t take her feelings seriously and something tells me neither did Shauna, Jeff probably did but didn’t know how to handle it until she was older so she could have always felt misunderstood or that her parents didn’t care about her feelings.

AND THEN, she meets the cop in season 2 (fuck that guy, I wish Callie killed him instead of Lottie), someone who seems to listen to her problems and can even relate to some of her issues only for that guy to be a cop trying to pin her mother for the murder of Adam Martin instead of someone who actually cared about her and her feelings (but don’t get me started on just how creepy it would’ve been if he wasn’t a cop trying to get her mother arrested).

————————

End of Rant for now… love to hear other people’s thoughts on this though.

Nvm.

Do you think Lottie thought Callie was a hallucination until Callie pushed her?

Do we know if Laura Lee’s parents were religious??

Like, was she an orphan or did we just never meet her parents?

My mom pointed out in the pool scene that she (Laura Lee) knew it was a shallow pool and she still dived in, maybe she was trying to kill herself and then when she was saved it looked like that was her first introduction to religion and specifically Christianity and how it did help her.

Also the parallel of her and the lifeguard when she gets saved vs. when she baptized Lottie is insane btw.

———————

Speaking of parents, where are Shauna’s parents? Or Jeff’s?

We never see them like we do with some of the other girls (Tai, Van, Natalie, Jackie, and Lottie). Shauna only mentions her parents two times but they were mentioned three times in total so far (first one was the episode where teen Shauna and Jackie go to the party and it’s where they’re finding a dress for Shauna and Jackie mentioned that Shauna’s parents are separated.)

We don’t see Callie worried about them either, maybe she never met them (Just a theory though, as far as we know Shauna doesn’t have a good relationship with her parents in season 2 talking to hallucination Jackie when she’s visibly not happy about being like her mom and when she talks to Callie about what could happen if Her and Jeff get a divorce when Callie finds out Shauna cheated on Jeff.)

(Edit: Now that I think about it, Shauna may not have been explicitly referring to her dad when she was talking to Callie about what would happen if she got divorced from Jeff, it may have also been a way for her to manipulate (??) Callie into not telling Jeff.)

⚠️YELLOW JACKET SPOILERS FOR S.3 AND END OF S.1 AND PARTS OF SEASON 2⚠️

⚠️SIDE NOTE. THESE ARE MY PERSONAL THOUGHTS, NOT CANON AT ALL, TAKE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT IN TERMS OF THE SHOW⚠️

SPOILERS ARE (Character deaths) (And Akilah’s premonitions) (and… melissa) (probably missing a few) (and the color coding isn’t for any reason other than I needed to see where everything was)

What if the bear Akilah saw in her vision was a representation of Lottie? (Potentially Shauna as well… maybe, idk)

Or it may have been the wilderness telling her she wasn’t going to leave as she was the only one there while the other girls were gone. Or we go the opposite direction and say it was trying to kick her out of the premonition, maybe she was seeing something she shouldn’t have been. We can also go in secret door number three and say that it foreshadows her death in general, in her premonition it was still spring and it could indicate that she isn’t going to make it through the winter.

I don’t think Lottie outright kills Akilah (if she did die in season 3), but I do think she would be the cause of it.

And another theory is that when Akilah dreamed had the premonition of coach Ben being the bridge to civilization, he was barely breathing and LOOKED half dead and she was halfway to civilization when she stood on his back. He probably wasn’t meant to survive because the only reason the yellowjackets attracted the attention was the fact they were screaming/howling while eating him and I think Ben’s death finally pushed Natalie to the idea that they couldn’t stay here and I think she realized that things WOULD get worse. (I have more thoughts on this but I can’t reach them)

And Shauna’s dream of Jackie where she (Jackie) is wearing the pink and green is a nice symbol of the others wanting to leave but Shauna being unable to let go of power as thats probably the only thing she had gotten to control within her life in the wilderness by that point AND the moth flying over Melissa when she talks about leaving?? Damn

The devil couldn’t reach Shauna so it tormented her until she became it herself.

——————

Now onto Season 1/Season 2

I don’t think the snow falling on Jackie while she burned was just nature being nature. I think it was the wilderness finally getting the chance to feed the girls.

Natalie losing the moose was the wilderness teaching her to just let go (also I think it was foreshadowing Javi’s death as both of them were extremely important to Natalie at that time.)

Lottie couldn’t (and still can’t) tell the difference between her schizophrenia and what was actually happening, but in season three she learned to accept it and we see in season two that she takes medication for it again which proceeds to stop working (blood leaking from the beehives along with her therapist not existing).

I don’t think Shauna’s baby would’ve lived whether or not she did.

Shauna and Jackie did love each other (both in a romantic and platonic setting) but I think Shauna was more obsessed with getting Jackie to love her more rather than loving Jackie herself.

Shauna realized that she liked Jackie romantically after Jackie started dating Jeff but Jackie was still coming to terms with the fact that she might’ve liked girls in general in a romantic sense before and after the plane crash and didn’t know how to accept it.

——————

Back to season three for a bit because I want to talk about Van.

Her death was indirectly caused by fire, as we see in season 1 and 2 (also season 3 when young Van lit her hospital bed on fire), her death was always going to be fire related but not in the traditional sense, she died because Melissa decided carbon monoxide poisoning was a good idea which then we find out that she straight-up wanted to kill the whole group even if she died in the process.

I also want to know what happened to her video store, like, did she sell it? She seemed to be the only one working there AND her house was like just upstairs.

And I think Tai always indirectly (or directly) went the opposite of what Van wanted. We see both instances of that in season 3 when Van dies and Tai buries her in the wilderness and proceeds to cannibalize Van’s heart, there’s also in the flashbacks to the wilderness where young Tai and Van argue about leaving the wilderness and Van ends up sacrificing her wants for Tai.

Statement ends (Yes, ‘tis a Magnus archives reference) (end of rant though)

[umbrellapolypore]

What I think the difference between Andrea’s and Merle’s death is in The Walking Dead (show) (I haven’t read the comics)

Andrea died because of a mistake. Something that could’ve been avoided and she didn’t even die for anything, sure she had relationships with Rick’s group but she ultimately chose the Governor instead of her friends after they told her it couldn’t work out the way she wanted it to. She was selfish in a sense that she couldn’t look past what she wanted and assumed that what she wanted would be the best outcome for her and her friends even if other people told her it wasn’t the right decision. Andrea lived thinking she could work something out but died knowing she could’ve killed her friends and it didn’t have to be like that.

———————

Now, do I think Merle is a good person? Absolutely not but he was good for his brother when it came to protecting him in certain situations. He saw what his absence did to Daryl, he knew what the governor could do and instead of running away and trying to drag his brother along or being selfish, he chooses to help his brother and knows that he doesn’t belong in this world in the sense that he can’t adapt to being around good people without hurting them. He knows he’s not good for Daryl, and he can’t help in the normal sense, so what does he do? He chooses to end his life by helping his brother one last time. Merle died knowing that the governor would be hurt by it and chose the best way (in his mind) to go and that was the only way things could end.

(I don’t know if any of this made sense 💀) (but here’s my two cents on why Merle’s death was more impactful than Andrea’s because I needed to talk about it and I want other peoples opinions on it) (It’s color coded because I could barely read it in the plain white font) (also I do not mean ‘not good for Daryl’ in a romantic light… saying this because I do not want to be misinterpreted not because I think people think Daryl and Merle’s relationship was romantic.)
