"I won't be me, the me that was made out here. And that unwellness that I feel, I feel it so deeply in my bones. We're safer here."

Natalie & Misty adoring each other throughout time . . .

They are so in love, your honor!

I love comparing mistynat from both timelines side by side. We don��t get to see these two interact as often in the wilderness, but whenever we do, there’s these brief little moments of adoration between them that we get to see transcend time. ♡

jeff sadecki loves to be like Ugh my bitch wife has been so paranoid and high strung ever since she killed the guy she thought was blackmailing her friends over the stuff they did during the 19 months they spent stranded in the canadian wilderness. Something that has nothing to do with me at all

[wraithwen]

the state of my heart, she was my best friend

although i doubt that this theory will end up being true, i’ve always loved the idea of the antler queen being some kind of supernatural entity/mass hallucination shared by the girls at the height of their insanity in the wilderness. what i mean by this is not that they’re all literally seeing this figure, but that they all feel its presence and worship it like a god. they offer pieces of their hair to it so they can keep it happy, in exchange for blessing or protection. their shared belief in the wilderness as a concept keeps them grounded out there, and maybe it manifests in the form of the “antler queen”

of course, this conflicts with what direction the show is going in, though. the draw of the queen card coupled with natalie being referred to as “my queen” by shauna implies that the antler queen will likely end up being a person (my bets are on shauna if we’re being realistic), but that doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be a living person. the girls who have already died out there haunt the narrative, with jackie in particular being honored as a “guide” by lottie in 3x01. in many ways, her death represented the loss of any remnants of civilization the girls had left in them, and her haunting them represents the mark the wilderness left and continued to leave on them

all that is to say, if the antler queen does end up being a supernatural being (or a mass hallucination that they interpret as being a supernatural being), i want it to be jackie. i want her character to come full circle; from being assigned the role of leader, to being dethroned as they descended into the throes of the wilderness, to becoming their leader yet again in death. i want her to serve as a symbol for what they’ve lost and what they eventually become, an ever-present reminder of the horrors they partook in. i want her to enact one last form of revenge by guiding them into further derangement, just to disappear when they need her most. i want jackie taylor to be the antler queen

i doubt she will be. but it would be so fucking cool if she was

[soldiergf]

okay but my ongoing theory is that all the girls die in the adult timeline and shauna is the last one, at the very at the last episode of the show. and all the other yellowjackets are already dead. and shaunas the last one to go. and i just have a vision of it. and how before jackie died she invisioned the others apologizing and before nat died she saw javi, lottie and her younger self in the plane. and shauna's going to have her vision. and it's gonna be jackie standing with her baby, and they're both waving to her, sort of in the same way the baby was waving to shauna in the hallucination in the caves, but this time shauna can get to them. because this time she's finally free of what happened to them and she is able to find peace. and then the screen goes black. and the show is over. and thats the end of the yellowjackets.

[alicentsgf]

people not seeing lottienat is so funny to me when lottie canonically spends her whole life desperately trying to keep nat alive and then when nat dies lottie immediately goes "right okay time to ragebait a teenager into killing me"

[the-media-pit]

mourning the fact we didn't get to see travis and nat break up, not even really for any plot reasons, but honestly just because i'm a nosy bitch

[prongsinrevolt]

I will never get over the tragedy of misty and natalie. misty tried to plunge a syringe into lisa’s neck because natalie was in danger. misty cried after natalie died. really cried. she wore her jacket like she could keep her alive that way. say what you want about the others, but only misty kept her memory alive. only misty carried her.that breakdown? the mirror hallucination of young natalie? telling misty to don’t take shit from others? that’s what natalie taught misty, which misty always needed but didn’t had.

“she was my best friend.” and she meant it. because natalie was the only one who kept her secret for 25 years. everyone else would’ve outed her, killed her, or just pretended she didn’t exist. but natalie didn’t. natalie was rude and distant, sure—but misty understood that. and still stayed.

she inhaled $300 worth of weed smoke to save natalie’s life because natalie had once saved hers. and it was misty that natalie saw, hallucinated, the night before they ended up in the wilderness. they were tied together from the very start.

their relationship was messy and twisted and painful—natalie punched misty, misty spied on her—but they were there. always. and in the end, misty didn’t mean to take her life. she only meant to save her. she acted on instinct to protect the only person who’d ever done anything for her. who never ruined her life. who, by some miracle, didn’t shut her out completely.

misty helped nat investigate travis’s death not because she wanted answers, but because nat did. because she wanted to help her. it’s so tragic that in a world where no one wanted misty, natalie stayed. they were bound by something feral and unspoken, a string pulled taut across decades of pain and survival and loyalty.

[deeplytothebone]

not to be annoying but since lottie is the wilderness's prophet and natalie is supposedly "its favorite" doesnt that kinda inherently solidify lottienat

[logansdogmotif]

i might be lowkey delusional bc she’s my fave but i think misty’s gonna be the final girl/survive the show

my proof simply being that in destroying the box/transponder thing, she sacrificed ALL of the others to the wilderness. and the wilderness “rewards” her for that by keeping her alive. also, to my knowledge, she is the only living main survivor who hasn’t had a vision of the wilderness? like she had the musical theatre dream sequence and she hallucinated a toilet in the wilderness, but she never has a creepy/“It” vision? HOWEVER she was the subject of the only (to our knowledge) pre-crash vision, which was definitely framed as a spooky/wildernessesque sequence. they all said nat was “the wilderness’ favourite” back in season 2 era but what if that’s only because she was the ACTUAL wilderness’ favourite’s (misty’s) favourite? and the wilderness wanted to reward misty by keeping nat safe. what if the only person/event able to kill her was misty because of this? and on top of all this, misty being the only character to have a true pre-crash Flashback that wasn’t framed as some sort of vision/memory. AND the fact that she’s the only survivor with a truly stable job?? and a life outside the survivors/a cookie cutter family.

idk this is just ramblings and reaching but i genuinely believe in my diva i think she’s gonna make it!!

#YELLOWJACKETS: we have to give it what it wants...

[i-just-drink-coffee]

The most hilarious thing to come out of Yellowjackets is this Lottienat Parallel:

Lottie: *sleeping peacefully (and serving face)*

Natalie: HAVING THE WORST FUCKING TIME OF HER LIFE
