#Taishauna

[sunny-rants]

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.

i havent watched yellowjackets yet but im very intrigued by the fandoms ability to ship every single one of those girls with one another and also provide irrefutable evidence for each pairing. like im convinced by every single gifset. ill be damned if those two girls arent in love. which two girls am i talking about? doesnt matter. god bless

40 FICTIONAL FEMALE DYNAMICS #9. Taissa Turner & Shauna Shipman (Yellowjackets)

I'm scared to go to sleep. Then I'll stay awake, okay? And I won't let you go anywhere.

i’m actually getting exhausted at this point guys yellowjackets is an extremely queer & sapphic show 😭 like no it’s not the L word. because it wouldn’t make any fucking sense for it to be the L word. these are teenagers from the 90s who have weird and complicated relationships with each other who grow up into emotionally stunted adults who continue to have weird and complicated relationships with each other. i need you to stop discrediting the extremely queer way jackie and shauna were written, the devotion courtney eaton and jane widdop played their characters as having for each other, the ways in which christina ricci has played and talked about misty’s sexuality and feelings toward men, the obvious ways in which travis can be read as a trans woman. i need you to stop discrediting all of this just because they’re not portrayed in a stereotypically sexual and romantic way, just because the themes of this show aren’t spelled out for you. not every queer person is going to look the way you want them to. not every queer showrunner (because, i will remind you, bart and ashley are both queer) is going to write queer characters in the most straighforward way. it’s frankly fucking insulting to see so many people accuse yellowjackets, a show full of beautiful and complex and fucked up queer female dynamics, of queerbaiting and not being gay enough. watch heartstopper if you want a romcom. this is something different. just because queer representation doesn’t look the way you want it to doesn’t make it any less queer.

my favourite thing about the yellowjackets fanbase is that everyone has to be a lil bit of a multishipper because it's all doomed or toxic yuri either way

taishauna were on this journey together and are bound by it in the future timeline.

tai found out about the pregnancy first and was trusted with the secret. tried to help/accompany her through an abortion attempt. touched her belly and got on her literal knees to feel the baby kick. and she was the only person who stayed right next to shauna the whole time and held her hand while she was in labor. and the saddest part ultimately is that she had to be the one to tell her the baby died and who held her and felt that grief with her.

it's almost like they both lost their firstborn and were ever quite able to be the parents, the mothers they SHOULD'VE been when they were actually adults.

yellowjackets ship names are so boring so i’ve proposed some alternatives:

jackieshauna: coldcuts

lottienat: antlerqueen

lottielee: faithhealer

mistynat: prescription drugs

(adult) taishauna: affair partners

travnat: fatherless

the best part about yellowjackets:

NONE OF THESE PAIRINGS HAVE HETEROSEXUAL EXPLANATIONS. THEY WERE ALL GIRLFRIENDS WHO KISSED EACH OTHER'S GIRLFRIENDS
