LOTTIE & NAT YELLOWJACKETS | S1

if nat had an iphone in the wilderness:

Thinking about Shauna shipman. Specifically thinking about how a lot of people tend to water down her character as just being “insane” or a nut case. Or people having the audacity to hate her for how she turned out. You would be too if your plane fell from the sky. you would be too if the consequence of having a normal teenage fight with your best friend ended up with her freezing to death, cold and alone, and your last words to her were cruel. You would be too if the only way you could cope with her death is sitting in a small wooden shed talking to her frozen corpse for two months. Or how you were shamed in front of everyone for coping in that way and then having to watch her burn. You would be too if you ate her body because you are so fucking starved and depleted. You would be too if your baby was a still born, who never had a chance. You would be too if you had to be the one to cut up your friends bodies so the rest of the group can eat bc you are the only one who can stomach it. You would be too if your burning anger and frustration caused you to brutalize your teammate, to reduce her to nothing but a bloody pulp bc you are just that angry. And god knows what else happened to her, we still have yet to find that out in the coming seasons. She is not just “insane”. She’s an emotionally stunted girl/woman who had her life taken from her so violently. She’s suffered so much and I just can’t stand when people make her less or dilute her.

You would be fucking too.

YELLOWJACKETS THEORY: Lottie speaking French during the seance

If you translate all of lottie’s french during the seance she tells a whole story from the dead cabin guy’s perspective about not being able to feed “it” enough

Here is the translation:

“In the beginning, it took care of me. I fed it. It brought me its gifts. Gifts from the woods. But it was always hungry. My offerings were too meager. It wanted blood. It still wants blood. It still wants blood! It wanted more blood. Blood flows here. Here. Here. It must.”

Lottie is schizophrenic, but that just makes her veil to the spirit thinner. There are things happening in the show that JUST the audience can see and not the MCs (like jackies hallusination when she died).

Maybe the supernatural aspect of the forest is real and the spirit is Mother Nature that wants the girls to return back to their instinctual and animalistic sides??

rewatching s1 with my sister (her first time watching) atm and the character-centric episodes are SO COOL?!?

jackie-centric pilot works so well for introducing the group and foreshadowing. misty-centric crash because she’s the most dangerous and medical obvs, and most closely related to the crash. taissa-centric e3 because she’s the most rational/survivalist so finding the lake and cabin are her manifestations. nat-centric e4 because her main role appears when the group are strating to suffer and they’re in need. dynamic-centric e5 because they’re starting to lose their original selves and the team structure, but are still teenagers. lottie-centric e6 because she is starting to believe fully in the wilderness and the others are beginning to listen. van-centric e7 because danger is starting to take over the group and they are losing their ‘fun’ side/experiences. laura lee-centric e7 because they have lost any hope of rescue and their faith that someone is looking out for them. jackie-centric e9 again to highlight how different of a person she is from herself in the pilot and explain her misery etc. and shauna-centric e10 because she is the manifestation of grief and loss, and is finally deconstructing her shell as the rest of the group have more subtly too.

Everyone always gets on yellowjackets for being fucking weird with the number of  background characters and changing actresses and lacking depth for a lot of said background character and everything all the time but thats the point!!! That’s the point of it!!! All the surviving Yellowjackets are unreliable narrators!!! Most if not all of the surviving Yellowjackets have mental conditions and if they don’t they sure as hell have endless trauma. The flashbacks are being told by them, 25 years later, when they have spent all that time trying to hide and deny everything that happened and everything that occurred and all of it is messed up. They don’t want to remember it all, they don’t want to remember their dead teammates. Sometimes it’s impossible to tell which characters are flashing back to which segments. Sometimes characters are inexplicably absent. Sometimes some people remember more than others. Sometimes random characters appear who have been absent all this time. Like, Crystal appeared as a character out of the blue when Misty was feeling abandoned by Nat and was remembering her first best friend. Characters are recast because who can even remember what those girls looked like anymore. The consistent characters are the ones no one can forget. The first ones. Who is gonna forget Laura Lee? Jackie? Javi? No one. But who is gonna remember girl #3 that you killed and ate when you went insane in the wilderness? No one. Or maybe you don’t want to remember. Maybe by girl #3 you try and forget everything. You stifle all feelings and memories until you remember maybe she had brown hair, oh i think i remember her gathering herbs once, oh i think she had this hat she liked to wear, oh maybe she was around during this event or maybe she was already dead and gone and buried and eaten. Maybe maybe maybe. You don’t know. You never know. Because thats what trauma does it eats away at the brain until all you have left to tell your story is faulty memories and a heart full of grief. And i think it just got worse once Shauna burned her journals and left everything into pure memory. Even those were unreliable because Shauna was suffering from day one and it only got worse after Jackie. Nothing is gonna be consistent about a story told 25 years after the events by people so traumatized they can barely remember it themselves.

babe when you said you wanted to nibble my earlobe this is not what I thought you meant

Shared this joke on reddit first but lets b real this is where it belongs

[n0eyed-taissa]

like what do you mean Van tells Tai she loves her for the first time in the wilderness? writing i <3 u in her own blood after Taissa bit her lip in her sleep? what do you mean Van won’t just leave her up there and lock the attic? what do you mean Van won’t leave Tai’s side despite the fact she’s going through disassociate fuge states resulting in Van being in A Situation every other episode because of it? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY START TYING THEIR WRISTS TOGETHER?? I’M gonna start biting, they make me feel unwell

YELLOWJACKETS Season One Episode Five: ‘Blood Hive’

[n0eyed-taissa]

Something I just noticed while rewatching the fight scene: When Jackie reveals that Shauna was hooking up with Jeff, no one looks particularly surprised.

Tai makes sense because Shauna told her, but these are not the faces of people hearing a new piece of information. The closest one is Misty, and even then she looks less shocked and more anticipatory.

Was it just an open secret? Did everyone know but Jackie?

[n0eyed-taissa]

Lottie kinda slayed because if I was stuck in the wilderness without my medication I wouldn’t have started a cult I would have gone crazy in a less productive and more annoying way
