All the fucking Rabbit craziness (bare with me)

All the rabbit symbolism and it makes my brain connect to things that people say that aren't even connected.

I forgot where I saw it because for the life of me there's YJ content anywhere I go, but it mentioned something called Rabbit Starvation. It's the syndrome when you can die from a stomach full of rabbits because rabbits don't contain a lot of nutrition so it's protein poisoning, essentially.

There are many ways to starve and Shauna starves in practically all of them. She starves for the hunt, she starves for Jackie. She has so many rabbits because rabbits are never enough. She killed the rabbit because it invaded her garden and it gave her a taste of who she was the butcher and it wasn't enough. She fed the rabbit to her family because that's what she does, she's a provider but if she feeds it to them enough it's poisoning them.

But then Jackie is also the rabbit. We think of rabbits and we think of Jackie. Shauna consumes Jackie in any way she can over and over again and it's never enough. Consuming Jackie in the wilderness wasn't enough. Jackie probably died thinking she wasn't enough. The constant consumption will kill Shauna but she can't help it, she needs more. Her succumbing to the urges again, to butcher, to fall into the wilderness again, started when she fed her family the rabbit and introduced them to her starvation but also to the wilderness.

And, and, and. So I got really into etymology of Yellowjackets characters. I left that post in the drafts somewhere but I learned a lot of neat things.

First off, Jackie and Shauna are names that originated from the same place. It's the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan) and it's where we got names like John/Ivan/Sean/Shawn/Jack/Joan/Shauna, this name is fucking everywhere. They have the same fucking name in different origins, which goes to show how connected these two are. But theeen,

Jackie is a nickname. At least, we can assume it's a nickname and her actual name is Jacqueline. Jacqueline is not part of the same family tree as John/Ivan/Shawn etc., it's from the family tree of Jacques/James/Jacob (originating as Ya'aqov). It means "holder of the heel" because Jacob in the bible was the younger brother. It essentially means coming in second. Jacqueline, whoever she really is, is second to Jackie, who Jackie wants to be because it makes her even closer to Shauna.

Jacqueline also means supplanter, someone who takes over. Pre-crash it was her taking over Shauna's life, or at least, what she thought was taking over her life. Post-crash, then we see how Jackie actually takes over Shauna's life.

Lmao, so why did I go on the tangent about etymology. Because as far as I could search, Sadecki is Polish in origin and it means...

Garden.

So, essentially. This is Jackie invading the Sadeckis.

I got that gif from a post from @vanpalmr and it kickstarted this entire ramble so thanks for that.

(Also, complete side note, but Jeff/Jeffrey means foreigner...like he's the outsider, it's so fucking funny)

sometimes what you need is the ship you like only because you have the hots for the characters but you can't kiss them so you want them to kiss instead

there's this one short song that i think abt a lot which works really nicely with them... it's called A Lady by Tally Hall the lyrics are super meaningful and i imagine it goes really nicely with how nørton thought of her

the first line as as goes —

i know a lady, good and evil

obviously said lady is irene. when he calls her good, he refers to her personality - as lore points that irene was constantly finding ways to see if he was fine, dropping by to offer warm bread, some coins that were stolen from him, or even a new candle that could replace his melted one. it could be anything, just for her to see to it that he was... okay. this to him, is her good traits - what made him initially grow on her. the evil traits refer to her lifestyle - he has nothing but distaste for people in the upper class- which she indeed is... but that's the only thing that made him distance himself from her - he just couldn't trust the fact that she was from a wealthy family. who knows if she's being genuine with her actions or if she's having ulterior motives (the latter is most definitely not true however.)

told me that i was a gentleman

the main reason why she even bothered to care in the first place was the fact that she noticed that he was such a hard worker, yet he still lives impoverished. he even gets robbed of his efforts from the coworkers. the said scenario is was caused her to make a move and show deep concern for him. he was indeed a diligent person, and even caring for his father's old friend, visiting the old lad in the nursing home. she wanted him to know that he deserved so much better but he was sometimes hard on himself to really believe what she's saying

wait for the girl to blossom into colors that grow where you can

this one's the last, but it's a little tricky to decipher! so here's a more symbolic take on what i want to think this means:

at some point does she confess that even if she wanted be with him, she could not - for she was already arranged to be with someone else - but she promised somehow she'll find a way to be with him even if it meant it would disappoint her family. it was definitely a selfish move on her part.

but all her life - irene never felt like she really truly got to experience the life she wanted because she was playing the life her family wanted. she had hoped that... if she'll truly find way to embrace the life she wants, she'll start with him. (wait for the girl to blossom into color).

i imagine this whole promise has been made post-explosion, she nursed him back to health in secret and she confessed everything when he kept asking why did she always bother to care for him even in potential death.

she was mostly keen on helping him, but as time went on and the more he softened up to her, it was hard to deny the fact that she's starting to see something charming in him that gives her more purpose to see him.

irene was no different from nørton in reality, she was born in a difficult time and she remembered everything from her old days she was only lucky now because she was adopted and she has everything penny alive now. it still left her hollow inside though, wanting something more to live for and she was stuck with this resentment. but then seeing him where he is, simply inspired her that even if he's stuck like this, he's still finding ways to make a change and irene simply admired it. she could... give him the change if she wanted, and she did.

she just needed to figure out how to escape her current predicament to be with him

Making out won’t solve their issues but it won’t make them worse either. Probably.

Shes not judging just very worried about the immense angst of this dude
