#it's also funny to me that ppl think she's so psychotic and unremorseful when literally all she did once they got home was have cancer

I think van freaks me out the most bc she never shows any hesitation or remorse for the things that they do like all or most of the others we’ve seen feel guilt sadness fear disgust anger etc but I feel like we don’t really see that with van. Another thing is that I feel like everyone else maybe has a reason for the way that they act (there’s just sth wrong with shauna, taissa’s other self, misty being a sociopath, etc) whereas with Van there is no “is she just like this or is she mentally ill” she’s literally just like that lol that being said I do like her a lot more as an adult! Also I’m sorry this isn’t phrased super well idk how exactly to talk about the way Yellowjackets uses mental illness or how to describe the conditions that some of the characters have but anyways just another perspective but I totally get why u feel that the Van hatred is unfounded considering the fact that ALL of these girls are hunting and killing for sport lmfao

i guess i sort of see that!! liv said that they think when shauna was beating lottie up that van sort of just accepted that violence was the way things were going to be and that there was no point fighting it, which i think makes a lot of sense with her character too because she's already survived 2 extremely violent life-threatening situations at that point. i feel like maybe she didn't go into the woods mentally ill but she did have sort of a mental break at some point that led her to believe all of lottie's wilderness stuff. i know other people sort of have more of a "reason" but i feel like being stranded in the woods for months on end is enough of a reason to lose it. i feel like the reason we don't really see van's disgust/remorse at her actions bc she's completely dissociated from the reality of it to preserve her own sanity
