Yellowjackets truly has everything. it’s a love story. it’s a tragedy. it’s a 90s high school sitcom. it’s a survivalist show. it’s a supernatural drama. it’s an investigative mystery. it’s a story about the complex dynamics of female relationships. it’s a story about the horrors of being a teen girl. it’s a study of the lasting effects of ptsd. there’s cults. there’s biblical imagery and greek mythos references. there’s milfs. there’s murder. there’s horror. there’s comedy. there’s cannibalism as a metaphor for love. it’s literally got everything.

the eating ppl is fine they were js a lil hungry, but being mean to natalie? hell no. inexcusable. worst thing anyone could ever do.

[elainiisms]

"that character is straight" oh not by the time i'm done with them...

[spider-vel]

did those at friends !!

[sunny-rants]

the yellowjackets fandom is so funny cause they’ll be like “she wore her clothes!!!!!” and it’s like. girlie. they’re stranded in the Canadian wilderness with no mall aside from Lottie’s hallucination, of course she wore her clothes. Javi probably wore her clothes at some point.

It was so funny in yellowjackets season 2 when things got bad and nat ran out of cunty outfits and black eyeliner and she looked so different everyone thought she had been recast like that’s just the alt experience tbh 

Not recast just stripped of her protective eyeliner and deyassified 😔

YELLOWJACKETS + SPIRITUAL ANIMAL + COLORS

Heyy! I've been working on these ones, and I finally finished them today :)) This is mostly based on my own research and the way I perceive them 🥸

[dcvina-claires]

shauna never fully letting go of jackie and her and jeff visiting her parents on her birthday every year. misty being willing to do anything for nat. lottie saving nat’s life. van writing i love you to tai in her blood. shauna crying when she realizes that she has to kill nat. the other version of tai whispering “go to her” and leading her to van. lottie getting beat up just to make shauna feel better. shauna and van not letting tai sleepwalk. misty being with nat when she finds travis’ body. tai paying for nat’s rehab and doing whatever she can for her. ALL OF THE SURVIVORS DANCING TOGETHER IN THE SNOW THAT TRIED TO KILL THEM 25 YEARS AGO IT’S NOT A LOVE STORY BUT IT’S A STORY THAT HAS LOVE IN IT ARE YOU GETTING WHAT I’M TRYING TO SAY??

[grayintogreen]

“Shauna tries so hard to be a good person but sucks at it” vs “Natalie tries so hard to be an awful person but sucks at it.”

Shauna is fully capable and willing to kill and lie and cheat while maintaining this perfect apple pie illusion of a wholesome life and her family stays by her but even they’re starting to see the cracks in the veneer.

Natalie believes she destroys everything she touches, is constantly on a downward spiral of self-destruction, and hates herself for everything she did and yet she can’t even kill a goldfish on purpose and despite being openly antagonistic to everyone in the wellness center, they all seem to really like her.

FASCINATING dichotomy here.

i find it very funny how these are two screenshots from the same show. like what do you mean there’s cannibalism and also a silly bird dancing dream sequence. this is so unserious

[lottiefmatthews]
