James Flint in every episode: XXXV & XXXVI.  If we are to truly reach a moment where we might be finished with England, cleared away to make room for something else, there most certainly lies a dark moment between here and there. A moment of terror... where everything appears to be without hope. I know this. But I cannot believe that that is all there is. I cannot believe we are so poorly made as that. Incapable of surviving in the state to which we are born. Grown so used to the yoke that there can be no progress without it.

you can think whatever you want about lottie's death but you can't deny that it's not another example of how the show treats their woc. like, explain to me what has happened to taissa's character and why her entire story has been whittled down to nothing but her white ex gf. explain to me where the hell simone and sammy have gone meanwhile callie gets upped to a series regular. this has been a problem that i have been talking about since last season was literally airing. taissa's literal wife and son reduced to a single phone call in the first episode and the career that was her entire driving force in s1 to a throwaway line.

it doesn't make sense and it's also fucking boring. taivan is literally my favorite pairing and they're afraid to do anything interesting with them. tai has no plot outside of van and van has no plot outside of tai. it took one episode for them to get back together. that's so BORING. and yes marking people for murder is boring when we could have gotten taissa clinging to her carefully constructed perfect life by her fingernails. you could argue part of that is because i'm sure sammy's actor has grown up considerably, but simone? and this show looooves recasting their minor characters, they really couldn't have just recast him? be so serious.

but jeff needs to donate shit to goodwill and randy needs to doordash on his scooter, right? we need to throw away characters who have been there since season one to make room for more white characters, right?

"it's only episode four, give them time!" i have been giving them time since season two.

thomas hamilton ghost of all time he has NO agency in the narrative everything we see and know is told entirely through the lens of other people's stories and memories and actions, his entrance isn't his choice neither is his exit neither is his resurrection. literally just a spectre that is pulled in and out by the storytelling rituals of everyone else

Raw emotion isn’t about saying he was sad or she was furious. It’s about what their body does before their brain catches up. Does his throat tighten like he’s swallowed glass? Does her hand grip the table so hard her knuckles turn white? People feel before they name it. Write the feeling first.

“The surviving Yellowjackets are literally the worst people”

They had to get involved in ritualistic murder and cannibalism to survive out there so of course the survivors would be the most brutal, morally corrupt of the bunch. Being a good person and sticking to some moral code wasn’t going to help anyone survive the wilderness and the insanity that came with it. Hope this helps.

it's the early 1700s. u have a close friend and he asks about ur trauma so u say "okay well here it is. remember my dead wife? well she was another guy's wife when she and i first got together. the guy didn't mind tho bc he and i were ALSO in crazy love. when his dad found out we were in crazy gay love he killed him. so my crazy gay love is dead now which is why im raging a war against the english empire"

and this mfer goes "well this is of immediate concern for me not because of the gay thing but because at least three times now the person who loved you most ended up dead. and i am the person who loves u most rn. BUT i am incapable of dying so this means ill eventually have to kill you (???). which makes me sad"

i know this is an uncomfortable topic but theres a reason animals often need to see and touch the bodies of their dead companions in order to be able to grieve them properly. and its not just because its the only way they'll know what happened. i think humans, especially in the west, like to pretend we're not animals and somehow we're above it all. we use technology and other things to distance ourselves from the more visceral parts of being alive but you cant sanitise everything and also maybe you shouldnt? there is a cartharisis in physical grief. holding the body of someone you love and seeing so clearly that they're no longer in there is one of the most innate, ancient human experiences and i think we rob ourselves of something profound when we run from it just because its scary

anyway I love things like having independence, being intelligent, taking pride in my skills, not feigning incompetence, referring to myself as a woman instead of a girl, aging unapologetically, having pores, stretch marks, grey hairs, wrinkles and body fat, listening to my body's needs, eating as much as I need to satisfy my hunger, being bare-faced, wearing comfortable clothes, etcetera

[mostlikelytobeagainstcapitalism]

coming up with an au were a dead character lives but shaking my head while i do it so everyone watching knows i support the role their death played in the narrative and consider it a legitimate writing choice

[mostlikelytobeagainstcapitalism]

saw this shirt online and instantly thought of flint <3

a good way to inspire yourself to do more is to see yourself as the wacky sitcom B plot character in your friends lives, "wouldnt it be funny to tell the friends in my phone about it." has gotten me to do anything from going to a festival (excelent) to wild camping (it went badly) (coastguard called) to trying to get the train to stonehenge (stonehenge costs money so i ended up just getting lunch in sailsbury, it was okay.) i bought a bicycle today and 20% of my reasoning was "itd be funny to surprise my roommate by coming home with a whole bike." . life is for living. and baby i live for the bit.
