#Yellowjackets theories

[stilllsage]

I made a little yellowjackets S3 theory/prediction bingo card!!! :)

if you fill it out pleeease repost with it! I love to see the theories :))

Mine was pretty rushed but here it is (a lot of them are hopes 😭)

[jimalim]

Saw this on Twitter I think this is a really great theory

[honestlynervousnut]

Ik im wrong in too many ways im not gonna bother to explain but...

Could you imagine if the necklace was a birthday gift from Shauna?

[tabithatwo]

Okay okay OKAY I was rewatching the jackie death dream and the lottie mall scene because these seem to be to most hmmmm this really feels like a ghost realm scenes we have right?? (Cabin guy, like why would Jackie OR shauna imagine cabin guy, shauna being shown as waking from it, indicated dream share, laura lee shoving lottie back into reality etc are you with me?) So of course I’m reeling about the Alice in wonderland ism of Lottie’s scene BUT but Jackie is offered hot chocolate and she TAKES A SIP and when she looks back to the group after that our ghosts appear and she’s cemented in death!! Laura Lee offers lottie food and she’s watching lottie anxiously and she says WAIT when Lottie’s about to eat and lottie doesn’t get a bite and Laura Lee has a sudden change in tone and she stands and she pushes her and lottie DOESN’T EAT!!! Alice and eat me and Persephone and pomegranate seeds and DO YOU SEE WHAT IM SAYING HERE CAUSE I FEEL INSANE ABOUT THIS

I think, the Wilderness can appear in whatever form she chooses. And, Antler Queen specifically was created by Lottie.

Lottie made the headdress.

Lottie also wore the headdress when, I firmly believe, she was possessed by the Wilderness.

I'm convinced the whole Doomcoming thing is not just shrooms. The Wilderness used the everyone's altered mental state to take over, as entities do. She made the kids see what she wanted them to see - in her realm, humans are the same as beasts. Yes, it's the hunger, but the hunger is a part of the Wilderness. The hunt is a part of the Wilderness. And in that moment, the Wilderness became a part of the kids, because they became wild. And, that's the symbolism behind Jackie not eating the stew, therefore not getting high (or possessed) - she didn't accept the Wilderness. She did not belong.

In the end, Antler Queen was the comprehensible veil a Goddess chose to dress in. She took the form her Priestess had conjured.

I was thinking of the rescued day of the Yellowjackets and imagine the rescue team, trying to find the girls and when they do find them, they look like this

i mean, maybe they use these costumes when they hunt people(? and the card thing, idk, but what if they don't and they look at this 24/7, if i was in the woods and saw something like this i turn around and run as fast as i can

[sillylittlgaythings]

i’ve been thinking a lot about this particular jackie poster and also the theory that the wilderness is protecting shauna (ex. when shauna almost died during child birth then survive and javi dying, 25 years later when she picked the queen card and was chosen as a sacrifice and nat died in her place) so that + this poster got me thinking about jackie being the antler queen.

but not in the way teen nat was appointed by lottie to be their leader, but as in jackie spirit having no choice but to haunt them, haunt shauna, but also trying to protect her at all costs no matter who suffered because of this.

jackie never got to leave the wilderness, not even her body got to go home, her spirit is still there and she has never been known for letting go, so why would it be different in her death? the last time she let go she froze to death, but now she’s suck being 17 forever, haunting her friends and especially her best friend, we’ve seen shauna seeing jackie’s spirit more than once, but maybe the others didn’t care enough to see jackie’s ghost like shauna did, so assuming the form of the antler queen made lottie, specially, see her and to interpret it as a sign of the wilderness then leading the others to believe the antler queen.

maybe she reappear after 25 years to lottie because the surviving yellowjackets were finally together again and she gets more powerful the closer they are together/the more they believe in her, because isn’t that what jackie taylor has always wanted in life? to be believed, to be adored, to be loved, respected, feared, to be seen? now she got all those things in death.

in the poster jackie is looking directly at the antler queen even though she never actually saw her while alive, i don’t think is crazy to think about jackie spirit being trapped in the wilderness and at the same time being trapped inside the girls (i’m so funny ik) so she has no choice but to haunt them, push them together, getting everything she wanted in life in death, but also being unable to get what she truly always wanted, shauna, knowing that the only way she could get that was if shauna died and her ghost become the same as jackie’s, but she would never let that happened, shauna protected her all the time in life, so now it’s jackie’s turn to protect shauna in death.

maybe i’m reaching or i just really like jackie haunting shauna, but considering the things that happen in this shown i don’t think it’s that crazy.

i've been talking abt this in various locations but the concept and theory of the antler queen being a rotating position is so interesting and also seems pretty likely? what with misty thinking she would be named leader, shauna wanting power and the fact that in 2021 nobody really treats Natalie with the respect she'd deserve had she been their sole leader out in the wilderness. also mentioned in behind the buzz that all the girls might have a chance to be in power so!! super fun

[fellshish]

my theory about coach ben yellowjackets is that the girls are going to be rescued and he’ll be in his little hole staying back perhaps not even realising they’re gone and it’ll cut to present day and he’s a merlin like figure fully bearded and covered in fur standing on a hilltop watching a new plane come down

The Yellowjackets Book Club watches... Season 2 Teaser Trailer

[yellowjacketslesbian]

so… are we ready to talk about how the yellowjackets yearbook in fangoria has accurately predicted shauna, nat, & callie storylines so far this season, and how it also heavily alludes to mari being the 8th survivor…

photo cred: @sappy-sappho

Thinking about how adult Shauna shows anger. Thinking about how calm and collected Shauna’s anger is even when she is pissed beyond belief at Callie.

Thinking about how the last time Shauna truly lost her temper and yelled to express it was with Jackie. Thinking about how Callie is exactly like Jackie.

And thinking about how the last conversation Shauna had with Jackie was that fight, and how Shauna never raises her voice again, especially not to Callie. No matter what.

Because what if it happens again.

I need to speak about a show I've just finished watching. Desperately.

*Spoilers ahead*

When the HELL is season 3 coming out? Will there be a bonus episode? I feel like my whole brain has been dragged into a pit where the only clue to escape are the words; 'figure It out'. I have read/listened to/watched as many theories as I can and god, some of them are amazing. I think my favourite would have to be that Shauna and Jeff's daughter's full name is Jacqueline (although it might be a stretch, it would still be fucking amazing). The ambiguity of 'is it something supernatural,' or 'was it us all along.' UGH! Okay so to me, the cannibal scenes aren't that shocking - it's the middle of Winter, no food, everyone is starving. It makes sense. There's logic to it.

However, it does become a bit more horrible when they have to choose someone to sacrifice. And yet I did learn, from another yellowjackets poster, that it was common and legal, for sailors who were shipwrecked to eat another person. HOWEVER! (this was in the 17/18 hundreds) and there were RULES.

But what I think we're going to see in season 3 is something more shocking then we've already witnessed. (I really hope we do). Especially since the death of Nat (rest in paradise my love) - what happens now? I kinda feel like Walter is going to be a big player in the Adult Timeline. But I think Lottie is going to become obsessed with Callie, her comment, calling her "powerful," was very ... off-putting.

Also when Nat and Travis are in bed and ... you-know-whatting- Lottie keeps coming up as a hallucination.

Here's what the co-showrunner had to say about it:

“We hope that the audience doesn’t necessarily interpret that, or doesn’t absolutely interpret that, as a love triangle. It’s not just like, Travis is having sex with Natalie but thinking about Lottie. That’s not it at all,” Lisco told The Hollywood Reporter when speaking about the episode, which released March 31. “It’s actually a battle between faith and pragmatism.”

(I just added that because I was like ... he's in love with Lottie now? But obviously that wasn't the case...)

I think overarching theme that girlhood is intristically violent, bloody and harsh. No we may not eat another person, but we do bleed every month, we do feel this unbridled anger at the world around us. There's much I could say on this...

If anyone has any comments, please please interact. You can even send me a dm! I'm quite literally obsessed with this show. 🌷🌿🌹

There are a LOT of reasons I think the “dreams” aren’t quite dreams (the eat or drink in the underworld/fairy land and you’re stuck there motif) but the main reason is that they sort of TELL us these aren’t just dreams. Based on Travis’ lines in 202, the near death experiences are IT!!

If you watch them closely, there’s a lot of trickery happening. The way to soothe Jackie into drinking is to be loving and kind to her! Love is all she’s ever wanted from them! The way to get lottie to eat is to make her feel othered or mocked by her friends! She already feels different enough! They seem impatient/angry in Shauna’s dream etc (I’m gonna break at least this one if not all of them down in more detail eventually). Based on Travis’ lines, it seems like they figure this out to some degree and they learn to (or hope to) communicate with it. So I don’t think the characters we see in “dreams” are really the near death character’s dream versions of them, I think they’re “it” impersonating them for some gain. I think Laura Lee was able to break through somehow in Lottie’s (stopping her from eating, shoving her back into her conscious self) and I hope that’s explored more. I really think we’re seeing our first iterations of “it” in these near death “dreams” AND we’re seeing a ghost realm that exists along side it with Laura Lee, Jackie, and cabin guy, based on the end of 1x10 and Laura Lee in Lottie’s “dream” and Jackie’s voice in Shauna’s.

ANYWAY! Parallel realities and multiple planes intertwined (hi ben Paul scenes you’re relevant in a way I haven’t fully digested yet but I see you!) and such!

i've been thinking. the cannibalism simply isn't that bad. like, yes it's traumatizing and it could be that they're afraid of being judged over that but it's understandable. that irl sports team who had to eat people to survive exists in this universe so they might, especially now that they're semi-functioning adults, realize that nothing bad will happen if they admit to eating people.

so here's my theory about what they did that's so bad AND who was in the spike trap in ep1: it's other people. random other people. eating jackie, who was already dead, is one thing. even choosing girls from amongst yourselves to eat is understandable and has, in fact, happened for years in similar situations (see the custom of the sea). but finding people who could rescue you? who are hiking in the wilderness and presumably know the way out? finding safety and choosing to stay in the wild and hunt and eat those people instead? THAT is horrifying. THAT is worth hiding.
