#SHAUNA MEANS SO MUCH TO ME

[chaoticnerdsstuff]

“Omg shauna doesn’t love jeff is canon, they said it an interview!”

Bestie I recommend a rewatch if you actually needed someone to confirm it outwardly.

Me, watching some YJS fans justify what Shauna did to Mari by using clips of Mari and Jackie giggling in s1 (normal teenage girl things), or Mari speaking the truth and trying to take Jackie's jacket (even though it was the middle of winter and the group were already sharing clothes), with said fans saying that they've would've done worse to Mari in response, acting like that makes them any better:

I love nearly every character (Only nearly because I don’t particularly care for Walter) from Yellowjackets. They’re all just so traumatized and scared and angry and tired and I love them. No matter what they do. And as I’m wont to do, I think about better for them.

I love Lottie and I think about her having a life where she can be loved with her schizophrenia seen as a part of her, but not the end all be all to her. Because whether she’s back home or out there in the wildernesses she is confined by it. Her parents fear it and isolate her for it. The team; the team either does the same or they raise her on a pedestal as a prophet. She is alone. In the wilderness, at least, she once was loved in her isolation. But she was still isolated. I feel like her disease has been ignored as being a part of her for so long by her family in the outside world, and then in the wilderness it becomes all of who she is, even to herself. Especially to herself. And she is so much more than her disease. She tried to be nonviolent for so long out there too, but eventually something just broke.

I love Shauna and I think about her having a life where she learns to love herself. To give love and take love easily. Not with sharp jaws and a cruel smile, but with genuine care and affection. Care and affection that the wilderness stripped her of, replacing with malice and greed. She does not know how to love. She only knows how to hurt and she hates it but she’s also so so good at it and she just wants the world to feel the pain she felt.

I love Tai. Both Tais, btw. I think about her living a life where she doesn’t have to hide. Where she isn’t constantly haunted by so much. Not just the wilderness, but childhood trauma. Shown through the flashback with her grandma and her seeing the man with no eyes. (Side note: I have a lot of thoughts on that flashback, the man with no eyes, and Other Tai that I was to explore more in depth at a later time.) She wants to be so strong but is so full of fear and more than that, anguish, and it comes to points where she just can’t take it anymore, and other Tai steps in. And other Tai is human too. Please don’t forget that. She is not evil. She is clearly Tai’s protector, and she clearly cares for Van just as much as the Tai we know does. She’s not hurting Tai purposefully by fronting with everything that’s been going on, she just thinks that she is the one, of the two of them, who can save her. She thinks that she’s doing what’s best for them in the end.

NO BECAUSE NAT WAS THE ONE WHO TOOK JACKIE'S BONES TO THE PLANE 😭😭😭 she was was the one who dealt with her remains after they ate her. jackie, whose death sparked the winter when the hunt began. and now it's a whole year later and it's happening again!! THEY HAD A CHANCE TO GO HOME and they LOST IT and THE SNOW IS FALLING and natalie's the only goddamn one left who's sane enough to remember that jackie's death and unintentional sacrifice can't have been for nothing!! BUT THE VIOLENCE IS CYCLICAL IN NATURE AND HERE WE ARE AGAIN!!!!

*wanting to shout this into the void before s3 can prove me wrong*

even if the role of aq gets past around the girls through out the rest of their time in the wilderness to me it just makes so much sense if shauna never gets it

she's the one butchering their food, woke everyone up during the fire, gave the others the ok to eat jackie. even after jackie and the baby's death she's still being overlooked by the wilderness everyone

Finished yellowjackets s2! Totally gonna be normal about this rn and NOT hunt down the showrunners haha its cool. What the Fuck though.

[blazingstarrr]

the stark difference of my favorite characters (they're both kins AND comfort) is borderline comedic;

the women (shauna shipman, laura palmer, cindy berman): beautifully complex and raw characters, written amazingly and showcase the duality of life, womanhood, trauma, anger, growing up, and being different than everyone else and being highly aware of it, even if nobody else is. i understand them on a deep level, and the air of yearning and self destruction is communicated so well that i have a deep and unwordable connection with them.

the men (toki wartooth, simon kalivoda): they're really funny and i'd like to give them a big fat hug.

Man I really need to finish up the Roxie headcanons, I meant to take a break for a bit but I think I've let time slip by with Stardew Valley Expanded but what do you mean I already downloaded Pokemon Y

[stormfeast]

something something Taissa is the only one Shauna backs down to something something

YELLOWJACKETS — S3E10: Full Circle

[kuiinncedes]

bruh

[reinemichele]

Translation here

Of all that shined, none of it was useless As if I had it all in my hands, I loved everything Old clothes that just took up space... Why didn’t I throw them out Instead of holding onto them? Throw it away It’ll just be baggage anyway I’ll just pick out a few things I need, and Throw it away So I can forget you Empty closet The scent of the memories I’ll empty it all out And fill it up again with new things So I can't ever take out the old ones again This pain is too out-of-season to be crying over... This faded scent is only recalled from my memory Empty hangers, in a room that’s as big as the universe It’s time to admit that it’s time to let you go Trapped in our black and white film Of wearing your t-shirt and watching movies all night Thoughts of you swallowing me up As I wait for you, who would never come back I broke down, but I still couldn’t let you go

It actually means so much to me that Taissa and Shauna are both canonically wlw and have the closest, most uncomplicated relationship in the show so far.

Like what do you mean those are two queer girls who are each other’s ride or die? What do you mean they basically had a child together because of how involved Tai was and then lost it and thus lost their opportunity to be the parents they could’ve been? Even in the adult timeline when other friendships and relationships are strained, they fall into rhythm with one another and understand each other intimately. They’re stuck living the wrong life. They have spouses they don’t want, children they don’t truly want, because family’s been ruined for them. It was ruined by two tragic girls they can no longer have, and they ruined it for each other because they had a baby. Once upon a time they had a baby who was everything. While that baby was in Shauna’s womb, they had a family.

Throughout everything in every season so far, they’ve had each other’s backs. And the fact that they’re both wlw. The fact that their understanding extends to that. That they have such a deep bond not based on this, but strengthened by it. Like legitimately the love and understanding forged between them over the course of both timelines and between is incomprehensible to me

Anyway I think we as a fandom just need to be more insane about them in any and every context
