tarot card commission ⸸THE LOVERS ⸸
#ela's on another tangent#yellowjackets#jackieshauna#jackie taylor#shauna shipman#the doomed lovers narrative will always get me#yes i know they weren't officially lovers#that's what makes it all the more heartbreak#jackie and her little girlypop outfits pre-crash#as compared to her twinky little boyish outfits in the wilderness#she was just starting to figure herself out and work out who she was away from the oppressive watchful eyes of her parents#i personally think she was just starting to realise she was in love with shauna when she died#which is why the rejection of the argument sting so bad for her that she was so determined to prove her point that she died#(pause for a sec cos i find it hilarious how fucking petty jackie is)#(she literally died of cold just to prove a point in an argument so me coded)#but she never got the chance to work out who she was or become who she could have been#so she never really got to explore her sexuality and (i think) died confused and pining#meanwhile shauna's response to jackie's death??? and the sheer denial of it??#i feel like can't be solely attributed to how close they were as friends#or even to shauna's feelings of guilt and sudden realisation that she wasn't coming back#no i think shauna realised quite a while before jackie did that she had feelings for jackie#and the fear of those feelings and the implications that she maybe isn't as straight as she thought#(or as straight as her parents likely wanted her to be)#is what i think completely created that argument and fuelled up until jackie left#simply cos shauna was scared of the fact that she had realised how much she felt for jackie#it's all the things left unsaid between them that can never be said or fixed#not-quite-lovers doomed by the narrative to never truly know how the other felt and never able to know what they could have been together#now that shit is poetry#and this artwork to me absolutely encapsulated all of that#phew tangent over guys you can come out from hiding now
