YELLOWJACKETS + SPIRITUAL ANIMAL + COLORS

Heyy! I've been working on these ones, and I finally finished them today :)) This is mostly based on my own research and the way I perceive them 🥸

officially cannibalistic cult in the woods season (my time to shine)

lottienat plus antlers is something that's so personal to me

[fairytwles]

i know everyone thinks this line is misty asking if natalie deserves to be leader but given adult misty's devotion to natalie, i don't think teen misty is questioning her rule... i think she's repeating what the other person (who's barely in frame) was saying in more of a "are you seriously saying that?" type of way...

I can't see misty turning on natalie... not with her blatant worship of the other in the adult timeline....

misty also looks somewhat disgusted and taken aback here, not the type of facial expression she would use if she were the one saying that. In my opinion this is the expression of someone who heard something so outrageous (aka that natalie shouldn't rule) that they can't believe it/ are disgusted by the very thought...

also, once again natalie isn't even mentioned here, for all we know they could be talking about shauna and how shes trying to take over...

thinking about the first time i watched the scene where nat rests her head on lottie’s lap and lottie sees the shadow of the antlers and i thought that it was nat bringing back lottie’s memories of the wilderness and being antler queen but now we know nat was antler queen its SO MUCH BETTER because nat was at her most vulnerable in the wilderness, so whenever lottie sees nat being vulnerable she can’t help but see her as the version of herself she was out there

Theory: The Wilderness saved its two Antler Queens long before the plane crash

There are signs of a supernatural influence surrounding the girls even before the plane crash. In 1x06, we see a flashback to Lottie as a child. She starts randomly screaming in the back of her parent’s car while they’re at a red light. She is presumably seeing something terrifying that hasn’t happened yet, as she does out in the Wilderness. Her screaming results in her father being distracted and not going when the light turns green, and then a car crash happens right in front of their car; a car crash that Lottie and her parents would have been involved in if it weren’t for Lottie’s screaming (a car crash that likely would have resulted in Lottie’s death).

I think this is the first example of the Wilderness being present before the plane crash. The Wilderness gave Lottie a vision to protect her; to save the life of its future Prophet.

Then, we have the strange (and unlikely) death of Nat’s father. Nat’s dad somehow trips on the stairs and accidentally pulls the trigger of the shotgun right as the barrel was under his chin. How was his hand even on the trigger in that situation?

I’m thinking that, similar to how the Wilderness saved Lottie’s life by preventing the car crash, it also saved Nat’s life by making that freak accident happen. Nat’s life was definitely in danger in that scene with the way her father was charging at her with the gun. I think him tripping and the gun going off was the Wilderness intervening.

This is not the only time the Wilderness may have been with Nat before the plane crash. At the bonfire the night before the crash, Nat has a hallucination of Misty standing ominously at the edge of the party before disappearing. Nat has tears in her eyes when she sees her, as if she’s feeling strong fear or sadness that she can’t explain.

Karyn Kusama, the director of the Pilot episode as well as 2x09 “Storytelling” (the episode where Nat dies), stated in an interview that this scene is extremely important for Nat’s character. In my opinion, this scene is the Wilderness warning Nat that Misty will be the one to kill her one day. Nat also has a flashback to this scene right before she jumps in front of Misty’s syringe, as if she’s realizing what that bonfire hallucination meant now 25 years later as she’s about to die by Misty’s hand. Lottie said that Nat was always the Wilderness’s “favorite,” so maybe it has been with her, protecting her and warning her, all along.

Maybe I’m thinking too much, but I definitely think the Wilderness has been looking out for its two Antler Queens, Natalie and Lottie, as well as priming them to fulfill their roles out in the woods. The car crash incident is the catalyst for a lifetime of meds and treatment for Lottie, and the death of Nat’s father is extremely traumatic for her. The Wilderness not only saved Nat and Lottie’s lives, but it also created a darkness in them through these traumatic events that is necessary to fulfill their eventual roles as Antler Queens.

Unless you don’t believe in the supernatural angle, then you can take this with a grain of salt✌️
