✦ shauna shipman hit me right in the gut from the second i started watching yellowjackets. teenage shauna was like looking at a cracked mirror of my younger self — all that anger, insecurity, and self-sabotage bottled up inside, trying to find some way out. but you don't want to show your vulnerable spots, you don't want to look pathetic. so you just turn it inward and let it rot you from the inside out.

i didn't sleep with my best friend's boyfriend, but honestly? i understand why she did. that mix of love and pure resentment, wanting to be close but also wanting to tear it all apart? i lived that. it was of course wrong of her to do that, i'm not defending that. but when you're that young and secretly insecure, the need to feel in control — even if it means betraying everything you built — feels so real, so raw, that you can't see how much damage it's doing to you, how much it would cost you in the long-term.

i think unless you've felt that combination of love and rage — where you want to protect someone but also hurt them, where you'd do anything to be them or outshine them, but also can't imagine your life without them — it's hard to fully understand shauna. it hurts to see people hating or judging her, but more than that, i really hate when people belittle her as this 'selfish back-stabber'. when they refuse to acknowledge that people like her exist.

i just want to give her a hug, honestly. teen me would've wanted to be her friend, and maybe i would've made better choices if i had someone like her to show me the consequences of the ones i was making. and i can't help but think : if only she had a friend she could be her true self with. someone she could trust enough to say, “hey, i'm scared, i feel the same way too” someone who shared those same messy, destructive impulses when they felt insecure and threatened. maybe then, she wouldn't have felt like she had to wear a mask all the time, even around jackie, the person who loved her most.

because that's the thing about shauna— no matter how much jackie loved her, shauna didn't show jackie her real desires or her true self. because jackie represented this ideal of perfection that shauna knew she could never reach, and being real with her felt like too much of a risk. how do you tell the person who sees you as good and loyal that, deep down, you're jealous, angry, and terrified? even though jackie was insecure and lonely in her own way, and shauna was the person she turned to as her safe place, shauna couldn't see it— her own walls and deep self-hatred blinded her to the fact that jackie needed her just as much as she needed jackie.

i love how messy and layered you are, shauna shipman.

there are so many things on gods green earth that are not platonic but are also not romantic. the erotic, the familial, the unconditional, weird codependency, weird codependency (hatred edition), etc. let us all broaden our horizons

Spoiler for The Princess Witch and Her Knight side story

Cassandra's just funny sometimes just going up to Robyn in Kevin being like (paraphrasing)

"You two have COMPETELY different hobbies and want to do different things. Like one person is just putting up with the other, that's not going to work in the long run! Not that I care."

So...you want them to work it out on the long run. You sound like a bitch but you're actually saying, you're worried that they might grow too incompatible is that.. 👀 ok Cassandra, sure.

Side note, Kevin and Robyn should just date already. They literally just admitted they are each other's favorite person to hangout with and they could just do that for the rest of their lives.

I searched for fanart of Seasmoke on Pinterest and literally half of this is Nat. Why is pinterest saying Nat is Seasmoke?

i kinda find it funny that whenever someone on tiktok posts about like the different roles the Yellowjackets cast had, they reference Ella Purnell in Maleficent but put a picture of Isobelle Molloy

This was Ella Purnell in the movie, pretty sure any other scene she did film for this was cut or this was not intended to be a big role to begin with

listen, if Fiyero can have his blue horse, why can't Glinda have her pink pony

NOT SPOTIFY PUTTING "PINK PONY CLUB" ON THE OFFICIAL WICKED PLAYLIST

[krys-kros]

wicked hot take, and I've had this thought since before I watched the movie like watching slime tutorials and such and watching the movie kind of solidified that take

Glinda is a lesbian

jk thats not the hot take, everyone knows that the closet is made of bubbles

It's actually that Nessa and Boq are cute together. Like, I think in another life they could have worked. (where Boq wasnt such a simp for Glinda and Nessa didn't become what it was she became in act 2, hiding it for those who genuinely dont know the plot of wicked) Idk man, Boq and Nessa in the movie had a really cute chemistry. On stage, it's more clear that Boq gave no shit about Nessa and Nessa just seems desperate for affection but like you can kind of see that Boq has some affection for Nessa and Nessa looks like she's infatuated like a first crush kind of deal.

Friend: Why are lesbians so tragic?

Me: I know right!!!

Friend: Like Vi and Cait!

Me: Like Yellowjackets!

Friend: And Vi ate Cait!

Me, not knowing anything about Arcane: And everyone ate Jackie!

this is super niche but like Emma and Alyssa are either a dorky, sweet, innocent version of Van and Tai, a dorky, sweet version of Shauna and Jackie or a mix of both. (but overall healthier)

(specifically the broadway version not the movie version because this was the version i hyperfixated on)

Glinda: The stars look beautiful tonight

Fiyero: You know who else is beautiful?

Both: Elphaba

[krys-kros]

gelphie is the good kind of toxic yuri gliyero is comphet for both and fiyeraba is bi4bi and thats the correct way to play it thanks

[krys-kros]

I'd be a sad, bitter, meow meow too tbh

"Im'a throw this on top...I'm sure it'll fix the outfit and Jackie will finally approve"

"Mmkay, how about now?"

[krys-kros]

uninvited to the feast? she's the guest of honor actually

Jackie: So what were you saying about wanting them to find your body for a proper burial?

Laura Lee: (would say shut the fuck up if she's allowed to say fuck)

speaking as someone who is demisexual, most people don't appreciate just how clearly intense jackie and shauna feel for each other. like you do but i'm speaking from the perspective of knowing that platonically being in love with someone can still be as intense. these two, i swear, literally any kind of imaginable love they could feel for one another (except familial obv) they do and that's why they're fucking crazy about one another. you don't have to wonder if it's platonic or romantic it just is. and it's such an intense relationship you know they will never ever feel that way for someone else.

jackieshauna is subtextual not bc of censorship or bc of the writers being afraid to write a sapphic relationship, but bc it fits the understanding the characters have about their own feelings/their relationship. they represent the vagueness of female relationships, how female friendships are seen as being more intimate and how more stuff is seen as being platonic.

Yellowjackets Giving Eulogies, but its random quotes from the Smosh Funeral Roasts

Misty: This next crystal is for patience. This crystal is imbued with the memory of the time Kristen and I were having a really personal debate about whether we believed Rihanna or Beyonce was truly the best.

Misty: Now, in this conversation, Kristen and I agreed that while Rihanna was, in fact, dope, Beyonce happened to be that much better

Misty: Mari couldn't handle that.

Misty: Mari, who was minding her own goddamn business, decided it was too much, and she exploded at us that Rihanna was, in fact, the better artist.

Misty: Here is the patience you showed Kristen and I everyday when you deal with our bullshit. Until you can't any longer

Misty: This is just Himalayan salt to help with the humidity

Misty: Dead body and all

Van: I'd like to say a few words

Van: I've only been to funerals for people over 80

Van: So it's really refreshing when a young person tragically passes

Nat: It is really sad to see a young person go, but you join the ranks of other people who died when they were 26

Nat: Mac Miller, Sharon Tate, and if we're lucky, me

Lottie: But if there's one I can say that you can hopefully take away from this funeral

Lottie: Is that thank God it was Jackie

Lottie: Imagine if the person you saw in this casket was actually relevant

Lottie: Or dare I say...influential

Tai: She wasn't a top

Tai: And she wasn't a bottom

Tai: She was annoying.

Shauna: Well, if I'm speaking here, Misty must not have had many friends.

Shauna: Which is fine, I just wanted to make sure you guys know this, too.
