[octoberbirdsreading]

[seeingsooey]

Looking back this scene is really fucking funny and unfortunate LMAO

Same group of people btw 😭

If you told me that one of them EXPLODED, one of them froze to death, one of them was hung, one of them drowned, one of them fell into a pit of spikes while being chased down by the rest, one of them was overdosed with fentanyl, one of them was pushed down a flight of stairs, TWO of them were stabbed in the chest, and one of them has postpartum psychosis and is a crazy dictator I would not believe you

YELLOWJACKETS, 3x01 "It Girl"

[rakharo]

mari and travis’ comments about “two versions of reality/do you ever wonder whose reality we’re in” had me thinking about how we viewed the pilot hunt vs s3 finale hunt — both being different realities of the situation and how it’s changes how i view the finale now.

like travis said, do you ever wonder whose reality we’re in? and for the pilot we’re in the outsiders pov/reality bc we don’t know the yj’s all we know is that we witnessed some cannibalistc cult in the wilderness who hunt with death traps and in that moment we’re like the scientists and guide who stumbled upon them and witnessed the horrific scene of a decapitated coach scott with a bunch of feral children howling at the moon, dancing around a fire and eating human flesh in the wilderness.

but by s3 finale? we see the actual reality of the situation bc we now know the yj and their story (not all but up to what the pilot shows). we see how all the yj survived the loss and trauma with all the fucked up & unforgivable things they did. we see how they each fuel each other in different ways that pushes everyone to breaking points & pivotal changes. we come to learn that mari wasn’t suppose to be pit girl and that she wasn’t being ritualistically hunted by all of them, just shauna bc they were trying to keep her distracted for natalie to escape for rescue. we learn that it was travis who built the spikes into the pit that was meant to kill lottie bc he felt trapped by her influence on the girls, that van was looking into the pit only to be find out she’s broken by mari’s death, that gen tried to help her friend and was then forced to drag and string up her dead naked body and cry while eating her, that hannah (someone just trying to find frogs) was forced to butcher a teen girl to not expose their plan of escape. that misty wasn’t smiling bc she’s enjoyed the violence of the hunt but bc as the shot in the pilot pans to the mountain she’s happy bc they outsmarted shauna so natalie could go find rescue.

that's it. that's all i have to say.

Callie is so real because I would also be having a problematic power dynamic, corruption, age gap lesbian fantasy about Lottie in this moment

LOTTIE MATTHEWS YELLOWJACKETS (2021—)

[novelconcepts]

Something about that moment as teenagers, the confirmation that Van really is stacking the deck, that every single death is going to be on her hands most of all. No wonder she ran. No wonder she fled it all. No wonder she died without bloodying her hands further. How could she do more, after all that? After actively trying to distance Taissa from murdering Ben? Not being able to do the same for herself? After everything, so much is on her shoulders. Hers. Nat’s. Lottie’s. Maybe the three of them most of all. God, my kid. And she still got to go out a hero. Kind to the last. The same kid who pulled a sheet over Melissa’s humiliation and led her away. The same kid who only ever wanted to go home. Running into a not-quite burning house she couldn’t escape from.

make no mistake, private. i find your superstitions about the divine to be adorable, but should i be shown irrefutable evidence of a living god i will make it my life's work to kill it stone cold dead

[sukibenders]

When other Yellowjackets fans, majority who are poc themselves, talk about how weird and frustrating it is that the writers introduced a random yte character and gave them a storyline when there were two (technically three but they killed off Lottie even when there was an opportunity for more) woc, who have been around since s1, that could've fit the mold instead (like Mari) and have actual personalities outside of building up/being the lapdog for another character. Or how often times many of the, limited, poc characters are often either treated poorly and killed off, or pushed to the side (Simone, reduced to the disposable black girlfriend trope and is nearly killed by her partner because she's in the way of a ship; Travis, since s1, had his trauma dismissed or ignored and was overly hated but no one talks about how he was SA'd by the girls he's now stuck with on top of having to eat his brother and not be able to grieve over it). How Taissa's whole storyline is just revolving around Van even with all the potential, especially given she's fighting to be free from her own mind, how Lottie's mental illness is treated so poorly as if it's not the butt of a joke then it's met with heavy criticism (and the only time she is met with sympathy for it, it's through the lens of a yte character embodying her and having an emotional conversation with her father). How you can have all of these reasons (and more) for being annoyed by Melissa's character or the direction of the show, and be met with #those fans downplaying these concerns, or just being overly antagonistic just because they find yte character #243 entertaining so obviously these conversations don't have merit. But this fandom has always had an...."interesting" way in which it discussed the poc characters on the show, so I'm not surprised.

just saw someone call Lottie Matthews straight. like. fine ig but I’ve never seen a straight girl be as weird obsessed with other women as Lottie is. she goes passively suicidal over 2 different women and then has a 3rd one we all know she’d be trying to impregnate if it was physically possible

[fearsomeandwrong]

sometimes i forget that yellowjackets isn’t a cute little show about gay teenage girls but it’s actually about LITERAL CANNIBALISM.
