#shauna sadecki

[hadesisqueer]

One thing about Shauna and her beef with Mari is that she wants to be respected and worshipped and if she can't have that she want people to fear her. And Mari never did either. Mari never worshipped her nor felt like she had to walk around eggshells around Shauna like everyone else did. She didn't pity her. And she wasn't scared of her. Which is kind of stupid at times, but also really telling. The others saw Shauna as if she was the Terminator, but Mari always saw her as a pathetic teenage girl with a lot of insecurities. Which is how Shauna feels deep down and it drove her mad, having someone whose very presence reminded her of those insecurities. And she becomes leader and and Mari still wasn't afraid of her! She becomes Nat's biggest supporter instead! Nope, she never showed her fear toward Shauna. Not even when she was hunted. She was afraid of dying. Not of Shauna. Mari didn't even give Shauna the pleasure of looking her in the eye when she put the necklace on her. Shauna never had the treat of seeing fear in Mari's eyes. Instead Mari tried to take her out with a knife and then told Shauna off one last time, telling her she deserves everything (bad) that's gonna happen to her.

No respect. No fear. Ever. The only time Shauna could have any control over Mari was after Mari was dead. Which says a lot about Mari as a person.

When Jeff was talking to Callie about how lonely it is to be Shauna's husband I realized that they were showing him doing things /with/ Callie that Shauna was doing in secret without her. Like we see Shauna being creepy in Callie's bed in the pilot and her sleepover with Tai was in Callie's bed too but here we see Jeff actually sitting with Callie in her room, being present. Or instead of stealing her weed to smoke in secret, Jeff decided to smoke with her. it really highlighted how absent and emotionally unavailable Shauna is even when she is home with them.

[taiturner]

We all agreed when we came back that we could keep the past in the past. That we would protect one another. As long as we kept our secrets, all of us. And what'd she do? She keeps her journals in a place where her husband can find them, she... murders her lover, she mutilated her ex.

i do think adult shauna has been telling herself that she was just prison gay and that she’s gonna have to confront that maybe thats not true this season

[lunarzomb]

Seeing people be mad at Jeff for taking Callie and leaving Shauna is genuinely so confusing to me. I mean, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But to me, it is so clear, Jeff understands that Shauna is GENUINELY DANGEROUS for Callie to be around. She has KILLED and Jeff is only trying to protect his daughter from being arrested or worse by separating them both from Shauna. And let's try to be honest with ourselves here... OTHER than the whole murdering stuff, Shauna was NOT a good mother to Callie. It is so clear to me that Shauna is emotionally neglectful to Callie... maybe even worse. And like I said before, everyone is allowed to have their own opinion! Hate on Jeff all you want and love Shauna all you want. But this misunderstanding of Jeffs actions just kinda gets to me, and I wanted to talk about it since I love Callie so much.

[miss3d-messages]

shauna taking on the roll of antler queen as apposed to being chosen. Shauna, still not beliving in everything out there, insisting the wilderness chose, taking away the power the others had in the situation.

Last season we were all made to believe that the antler queen was sacred in a sense, just for Shauna to completely flip the meaning on its head just for the sense of power is just... well. its very shauna to put it lightly.

i love how s3 finale completely flips our perspective on the hunt from the pilot. half of the girls weren’t even hunting. van standing over the pit seemed so menacing in the pilot but now it’s just heartbreaking. mari being pit girl, not because the wilderness chose but because shauna chose. mari was only wearing a nightdress so she could use her clothes as a decoy. and turns out mari was a decoy while the others tried to get rescue. misty removing her mask and smiling not because they caught mari but because they’re getting rescued and there’s nothing shauna can do about it. the hair on the antler queen costume wasn’t a collection of various victims’ hair, it was just mari’s. this whole time we thought it was all the girls collectively giving in to the hunt and the wildness of it, but really it was just shauna, along with lottie and tai. none of them wanted to do a hunt, none of them wanted mari to be chosen.

[themothwhisperer]

Here’s the thing that’s bugging me a bit about the finale: How Lottie and Shauna were handled.

The entire group has two things in common. First; they lost all societal structure. The set of norms, rules and values they’ve been raised with is progressively disintegrating. Inevitably and perhaps inadvertently, this process is happening inside every single one of them. The wilderness is the new real world. They are forcefully disconnected from what their past life once was. And second thing; they are teenagers. Which means they are at higher risk of being influenced by any outside factor. Literally any factor can alter them in some way (and obviously landing in the middle of a gigantic forest is a monumental shock). Their mental stability and psyche are inevitably fragile. This is the essence of what it means to be a teen. They all had their issues and weaknesses and messes before the crash. It only makes sense for all this to persist. We could even say that the logical conclusion is for it all to get worse. Much worse.

And we sort of have those glimpses that make us believe that. But yet, here we are with this not-so crazy hunt considering the only people actively approving were Lottie and Shauna.

To me, the message it passes is the following: the one and only villain in this story is Shauna Shipman. She is your ultimate cruel, cold and rotten-to-the-core bad person.

Because here’s the thing, the one and only other person standing beside her, soaked in this insanity, blood and madness, is Lottie. But Lottie isn’t even intrinsically bad! Lottie is sick and has been off her medication for an incredibly long period. Mental illness is backing and explaining her behaviour. Her coping mechanism is the wilderness and everything it entails.

That takes us to our last one standing: Shauna. Our true evil outcast. She’s completely alone, everyone against her. Nobody understands her anymore. Only Jackie ever did. So what does that mean? Only Shauna was deeply affected by the events and was wholly absorbed in them? She completely lost her way? Became an animal? Yeah, sure. But why is she the only one? How does that make sense. They are on survival mode 24/7. Witnessing terrible things. This doesn’t mean I was hoping/expecting every character to be unhinged. Simply more characters. Feeling ambivalent at least. And not just out of fear for their leader. But by pure and effective influence and severe shared trauma. Teenagers are mimics, echoes of each other. They copy and learn from each other. On the other hand, I like the idea that some of them are holding on strongly to their convictions regardless, such as Van and Nat. But the fact that it’s one person versus the rest of the group feels a tiny bit odd.

Why is Shauna so isolated?

Why is she the only one salivating from the thrill and excitement of a hunt?

In a way, they were all mocking her. Pretending to chase while covering tracks. There’s some massive dissonance. They’re all different people on an individual level, yes, but Shauna is not the only one who committed horrible acts beforehand. They all (or almost) had their moment in which they reveled into something brutal. And what else can we expect really? They lost all guides in this world, they have nothing to hold on to. But ultimately, they find the light at the end of the tunnel and reach the surface of sanity once more. There is also something very beautiful about this concept also however. But the endgame remains. It’s everyone except Shauna, of course. She simply cannot see the light anymore.

Perhaps this is a subject that would be delved into more during a potential fourth season (which I sincerely hope will happen). But as for now, I feel like Shauna is becoming a weapon. Like she was responsible for all their misery, to the smallest of detail. She’s extremely villainized. As if all the darkness was contained in her body, tightly sealed, not leaking a drop on any other Yellowjacket. There would be room for so much more nuances when it comes to the characters if only this rage was shared.

Spoilers for yellowjackets season 3

I honestly really liked how we got a different side to the pit girl situation. I liked how Gen was trying to help Mari how she could, and there was remorse. I hope next season I get Travis grieving because his pit killed her, and hopefully Akilah grieves too because I loved her friendship with Mari in the other seasons. Now that Shauna is acknowledging her memories now I hope Mari haunts the narrative too and is actually a bitch about it. Ghost Mari, please don't let her rest 🙏

That’s how I would react too if I was told i’m more Shauna than Shauna is

Lottie: you’re even more like your mom than your mom is

Callie:

[tboynightmare]

i love that shauna kissed melissa back and then in the next episode says she hopes she wont turn out boring (one of the last things she ever called jackie) so then jackie comes back and literally kills her with a slap bracelet in her dream with zero remorse after. jealous queen

[ghst-boys]

i truly feel it is so stupid everyone including the fandom is falling for the "its all shaunas fault" thing. does shauna do fucked up stuff. yes. but like..

killing adam? she thought he was blackmailing her friends, arguably jeffs fault because he was the blackmailer. also kind of adams fault for walking towards a woman with a knife???

van dying ? melissas fault.

lottie dying? callie's fault and arguably also melissas fault. also kind of lotties fault what the fuck?

not that shauna isn't responsible for anything bad but it's not ALL her fault and it's stupid to say it is.

[ladyoftheesun]

i think simone kessel must have pissed off the writers because lottie didn’t need to die. like it added absolutely nothing. “it gave misty something to do” it gave her something to do for a single episode. “it was the catalyst for jeff and callie leaving. and it gave something for shauna to be paranoid about” she could’ve just been paranoid about the tape. they could have left because they know that shauna has lost it and isn’t safe to be around. if they wanted a mystery they could have had her go missing or something. she didn’t need to die.
