i've reached a point where i wish yellowjackets hadn't included the cult as a part of the wilderness timeline since there's seemingly no real interest in exploring it. no one's faith is going to parallel lottie's, but i do find it poor writing that absolutely none of the girls have any devotion to the wilderness, that they all weave in and out of this belief system with no real intention behind it. season 2 isn't only about the girls going off the deep end because they're starving, it's about that desperation turning them into moths following the light of lottie's religious fanaticism. their living situation turning stable by season 3 shouldn't mean that they've let it all go, as if they've all normalized now that they're no longer struggling in the same way.

in season 2 lottie teaches them how to commune with It, and we see them interact with It of their own accord. they kill a little kid, and they say the wilderness chose him; whether that's true or false isn't the point, because this is where they're casting power. i have a hard time believing this mix of sincere exploration of a new religious deity that has been granted immense power and influence by the group, and the trauma of killing in the name of that power, wouldn't force them to bend to be able to accept it. it would've been interesting to see this actually mattering to the girls, because by season 3 we can see that they've created their own civilization - they have a village, a living system with rules, they have holidays and ceremonies where they commune with their god. what could've been interesting tension with the introduction of the hikers was played as "this is our way home, and that's all that matters." but they've been living in an entirely different world, and i find it unbelievable that this initial excitement for the idea of rescue wouldn't eventually chafe against more of them, that the hikers who represent civilization wouldn't cause friction, because they've had to outgrow what's thought of as civilized society to survive. nearly two years is a long time to live a certain way, and to be unmoved by the idea of leaving that life behind, even if it can hurt, strikes as insincere and untrue to me.

this is part of why i don't find the expectation for the pit girl hunt being subverted particularly interesting or clever. there's arguments that this is to show the girls aren't evil, or that they haven't lost their minds, like the pilot might lead you to believe. but i didn't believe they were unequivocally evil from the pilot. it's terrible and violent, but all it made me wonder is how they got to this point. to me, this is the purpose of the shot of the pink converse - they're terrifying, but we can see behind the animal calls and the masks, and the horrible pit filled with stakes. these teenagers are familiar to us. how did we get to this point?

callie should have done a ton of shrooms with lottie and kept her alive forever
