#this is honestly such shitty writing on her part I can't 🤣🤣

[eclipsxntice]

also why tf is he purring @ Jurian? ricebag care to share something with the class?

“You went mad with—with Clythia. It was madness. It destroyed you.” “And I was glad to do it,” Jurian snarled. “I was glad to do it, if it bought us an edge in that war. I didn’t care what it did to me, what it broke in me. If it meant we could be free. And I have had five hundred years to think about it. While being held prisoner by my enemy. Five hundred years, Mor.” The way he said her name, so familiar and knowing— “You played the villain convincingly enough, Jurian,” Rhys purred.

Rhys telling Jurian that he plays the villain convincingly... dude what were you doing for the last 50 years?!

Why is Jurian's sacrifice for his enslaved people seen as madness because it was a brutal? It was war. If one of the IC had done it, they'd be lauded for their bravery

Right. Well. I hope you're ready for this because I have a lot to talk about for yearbook 🤣

Firstly, I loved the structure of this chapter. A day in the life of Eddie, centered around his session. How Ms Kelly has had to draw him out over a few days. Because yea, he's made it there in the first place, but it doesn't automatically mean he's gonna be a model of open conversation and spilling his guts straight away. Felt very real that, like 'well I've shown up, what more do you want from me?'

Him just having a minute and sitting observing everyone from his van. Like his little moment of calm. It actually was like a scene from a movie, it reminded me of the first episode of season 4, as Robin is getting out of Steve's car and we're dipping in and out of everyone's conversations and goings on. Loved this.

Then his view of R coming into school, how he held back but still gave her that sign of solidarity with the thumbs up. He's so precious, I can't cope. And she needed that so much, her thinking about it later on to get her through the shitty parts of her day was perfect.

R's dad telling her that she basically deserves anything awful that happens to her, just for being a good person. Urgh that guy has some serious issues. Of all the people that need some therapy...

Then Chrissy! She made so many smart choices in this chapter. You've characterised her really well in this. Like she's presented as this really sweet and kind person in the show, but would she have stayed true to that when it mattered in a difficult situation with an audience? I love that you have her do that. Their lunch scene with Dustin was hilarious. Eddie's 'WHAT?!' After the marriage talk 🤣 pal, you would have her in a hot minute.

Really enjoyed the coaches comedy relief after the Jason/Eddie confrontation, and that R and Eddie had more conversation. Especially when it's flirting, could read them like this all day 😍

Honourable mention to Wayne again, for basically being a solid parent and showing Eddie what 'stable' looks like. I hope R meets him at some point and thinks 'oh shit, this is what a dad's supposed to look like'

Strange note for me to end on but I love how you full name everyone when they're not in direct conversation with each other, I've noticed it the past few chapters and it feels very 'Morgan Freeman doing a narrator voice over' and I'm here for it. Can't wait to see what happens next! 🖤🖤

Yes! I've been waiting for you. *in ominous voice*

Let me tell you, when I first began writing this chapter, I just completely free-balled it, I had no clue what was going to happen. I began writing the first couple of paragraphs, when it hit me. This story should totally revolve around Eddie's session AH- I felt like a fucking genius!

I honestly loved that added detail of him just observing. When I write I feel the need to just insert the most meaningless details, but I think it does a good job with just setting the mood around the story. If anyone is every struggling with writing, truthfully, adding specific details can really help!

And the little thumbs up 😭 everyone needs a little thumbs up from Eddie Munson! Especially after that sick interaction with her father, ugh 🤮

Our Chrissy Cunningham redemption arc has been completed! 🩷 I loved how sweet her character was in the show, and I definitely wanted to stick by that, but of course, I wanted to emulate a changing relationship between her and Jason, one where the other person is just someone who's not who they used to be. And given that it's implied that her mother is taking quite some control over her life, I really wanted to be able give her the opportunity to do what she wanted.

And we loved their little "girl talk" with a clueless Dustin.

And I love the idea of Reader meeting Wayne. Especially since we already got extremely intimate moments in her bedroom, I can definitely add some raw moments in his house.

And I think I've said this before, but I FUCKING RAGE OVER USING CHARACTER'S FULL NAME!!!!! Makes me feel like an actual fucking author with merit, lol. And I'm falling onto my knees knowing you get that feeling, too, and you noticed it in the first place! 😩

Thank you so much for your support! 🥹❤️

SAM MY LOVE I FORGOT TO SEND IN MY FEEDBACK😭

I typically write out my thoughts on my notes app(have a folder just for your stories🤧) bc this is me trying to be organized lol . Anyways this time I did fully put down my thoughts I just forgot to send it through here like a dummy lol BUT I DID NOT FORGET ABT YOU BESTIE!!! So here are my thoughts lol

YOU TRULY KNOW HOW TO KEEP THE STORY GOING IN SUCH A GOOD WAY!!! You know I love anytime Niall shows up in your stories bc you truly write him so well, I NEED HIM!

when i tell you once I read that she unexpectedly feel down, I just knew that Ava was behind bc my heart DROPPED! And then she apologized, my heart felt so sad :( I mean I can't blame her because I do the same thing too and it's a hard habit to break! Then them talking about the eggs... PAIN PAIN PAIN ALL AROUND! But I like it, it keeps the story moving!

Also I am not mad at here for wanting to be friends with him at all! Like personally I would have just been stubborn and guarded but I know I would have folded soon lol BUT THATS WHY I AM NOT HER, SHES HER OWN SELF! And Niall is gone so I don't blame her and shes in love so yeah lol oh and that "munchkin" part 💔💔💔 so good!

NOW I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE WAS CHEATING EVER!! like I really felt that Ava was cheating or had cheated on him and like it was so satisfying to see that unfold, like it may sound fucked but it felt nice to know lol And maybe Im feeling just a tad bit petty but I kinda liked to see harry grovel a bit but only a tiny bit! bc it is very hard to get out of a toxic and manipulative relationship and it is something hard too do no matter shitty it was! He does has some healing to do and its a process but still happy for both to be out of it ya know.

And the end... SAM😭😭😭😭AHHHH so so so GOOD!!!!!

Side note I saw that some anon was just being straight up mean and that is not okay. It's one thing to give constructive criticism and that's fair but there is no need for just straight up saying they don't like. we all experienced something not being for us and that's okay but I would never just be mean to that author, ever. And I want you to know for every thing you post no matter what is such a gift! And I want you to never forget how loved and appreciated you are! love you so much!-💜

I'm OBSESSED A WHOLE FOLDER AHHHH 😭 I don't deserve you

I love Niall so much if I wasn't a Harry-girl I would be feral for Niall. Honestly, sometimes I still am. I see tiktoks of him and I'm like 🤤 Personally, I think he should be illegal. He's really fun to write and I wish I could tear myself away from Harry for two seconds to write a fic about Niall.

I'm glad you feel that way about her wanting to be friends. I really wanted to them to NOT be friends but I also would have folded very quickly. I also wanted to keep the plot going and I didn't want to be like *seven months later* because I think the whole Niall moving thing is still fresh so idk it made sense when I did it so I'm glad you're good with it! I love my munchkins 💕

When i started this story I didn't WANT you guys to like Ava but I wanted to keep an air of mystery but I think everyone assumed she was probs doing something worse (not that that makes Harry's thing okay) but again part of my process was ensuring that Ava would sound AWFUL when the time came to announce her secret.

Don't you worry about groveling and healing, I got you covered 🤣

You're so so nice 😭 I have a bit of a pleasing-complex so I feel so bad when I disappoint people. I shouldn't let it get to me but it's easier said than done.

Thank you for your message I love you and your brain so so much 💕

xoxo

Yellowjackets S1 e10

I too would call Misty if I needed help hiding a body to be honest

You know how when you cook sometimes you take a nibble out of the food you're preparing? Are cannibals tempted to do that when preparing human meat? Like, did one of them start to gnaw on an ear and then stop herself before getting any further?

Misty could take over the world if she tried

I don't like that that they're blaming Misty for all of this. Misty is technically not the one who drugged them. Though she was trying to drug somebody else which is wrong, technically Mari is the one at fault for this because stealing is bad. Ngl I just don't care about Mari, if you have to eat one of them, I'd rather it not be the one who can sew you back together. But if you're gonna take shit from the doctor of the group, why would you not check if it's medicine first? Honestly would have probably been a godsend when they were stitching Van up.

Oh shit, a bear! Van, run! 😭 She didn't fare so well with the wolves.

I guess the food shortage is solved now, at least.

Oh she's THAT Allie! The one I completely forgot about 🤣

She's talking about trauma bonds but like, she wasn't there...

With the name and everything, all I could think about was Alison DiLaurentis talking about how the dollhouse thing affected her when she wasn't even there ☠️

Honestly a lot about this show reminds me of the dollhouse arc in pretty little liars. Stranded in the woods, alone, starving and parched. Dressed in formalwear and throwing a fake ball? Yellowjackets did it better though.

The showrunners would explode before they ever considered showing Emily with a single armpit hair, let alone a full bush.

But I digress...

I could watch just an hour of Misty interacting with people.

"this feels a little more you" he writes as he gives his wife -who was lost in the woods- a floral printed dress 😭 that's a little too on the nose there buddy.

My god they look stunning though.

If I don't see all the surviving members at the reunion I will cry.

It's so nice to see Misty accepted.

So shitty to see her cop the blame for the shrooms when that was 100% on Mari for appropriating shit from the group medic without permission.

The entrance to the reunion was great but that's mostly to them not being dicks to Misty for once. They're kind of all over the place with her and I just want them to pick a mood so I know how I feel about their relationship. The way they ice her out can't just be from the mushrooms after all the time that's passed since that.

Shauna reading Randy the riot act was way more exciting than it probably should have been. But then again they're all goddesses, so...

Nat: hey guys, I think Lottie might be psychic

Jackie: just cause she's correctly predicted a bunch of things doesn't mean she's psychic

Jackie doesn't seem to be aware just how close she is to getting on the menu

The gang is starting to get a lil culty, huh?

I say starting like they didn't almost ritualistic ally sacrifice Trey last episode.

I feel like for every one time I'm in Mari's side there's like ten where I can't stand her guts. She's a bigger dick than Jackie, she just blends into the group well enough to not stand out and be targetted.

Oh good, a slideshow of the soccer team. Assuming this is a memorial thing, we'll finally get to figure out who lived or died, right? I've been waiting for something like this.

This fight was a long time coming.

"you read my journal!" You were the one dumb enough to write you slept with your bff's bf in your goddamn journal. That's one you could and should have taken to the grave, honey.

Misty's still eating in the background, I'm ☠️

"get out" she says, like she owns the cabin they're squatting in.

They're both right but both assholes and the coach is so irrelevant he's practically part of the furniture so for him to act like he has any authority is kind of hillarious.

It must really sting for Jackie to be looking up at them as everyone's all "her ex and her bf getting together is what she would have wanted! 🥹" Like I wouldn't be surprised if her spirit is not haunting them considering all this shit.

Are they really playing kiss from a rose right now? ☠️

Like you know Misty fears nothing when she leaves a whole hostage in her basement to go to a reunion.

I know I'd be an idiot to trust the reporter/fixer but I'm warming up to her. I hope she doesn't do anything stupid as we all know what happened to the last person outside their little circle who overstepped.

I think it's safe to say Taissas's marriage is over...and she'll probably get supervised visitation at best with the kid.

There's no way she's really gonna let her go, right?

Really?

I'm gonna have a fucking heart attack

Is Jackie gonna freeze to death or get eaten by wolves or?

Oh shit, I forgot about his kid brother

The kid is probably dead by now...

Tell me Nat and Tyler don't get back together though. I don't want to have to sit through their stuff again.

The music in this show is pretty awesome, I'm not gonna lie.

Oh good. I knew she couldn't be that dumb.

Shauna WOULD be a cat lover. Meanwhile she's married to a golden retriever.

Imagine if Taissa actually won though? It's the kind of plot twist they'd probably throw in right about now.

Poor Jackie though.

Though some of the sentiment was lost on me cause Anastasia's 'left outside alone' was stuck in my head the whole time

They mentioned the dead guy!!! In front of her daughter!! 😮 They're really pulling the big guns out for this episode.

Why are they showing Simone go down to the laundry? Why is the music so tense? Tell me Taissa didn't kill the dog and stash his body down there 😭 this is making my stomach hurt ☠️

WHY WOULD SHE CRAWL INTO THAT? THIS IS THE KIND OF STUPID SHIT THAT GETS WHITE PEOPLE KILLED IN HORROR MOVIES! SHE SHOULD KNOW BETTER!

At least Taissa won. She'll need the rise in pay to pay for her wife's therapy because WHAT THE FUCK TAISSA?

I was right about her killing the dog though so I'll try to take solace in that.

Nat better not be planning on shooting herself.

At least Shauna tried to make up with Jackie.

Okay but they're surely not going to leave the fire unattended, right?

Are they gonna try to convert her or murder her? Also is she still alive or having a dream like the little matchstick girl did before she died?

Oh she's hallucinating, isn't she?

She's dead?!

Frozen to death?

That was heartbreaking.

No, because she was dying and instead of dreaming she was home with her parents or a celebrity eating lobster, she just dreamt she was inside the cabin with her friends drinking chocolate milk. All she wanted was to be accepted in the end 😭😭😭😭😭

Also side-note; I guess they found the little guy because him and his brother was there when they found Jackie. I only noticed cause I was thinking "if Nat and Taylor survived outside while Jackie froze to death I will be pissed" but I guess they got back at some point and possibly walked past Jackie dying and did nothing, which I guess adds to Nat and Tyson's guilt and stuff, but still. It's super fucked up.

Honestly I'm starting to dislike Nat a tad. She's usually the one showing empathy but she's just as cliquey as the other girls. She can be just as mean and just as horrible. She thinks she's morally superior and magnanimous but she's just as quick to turn on others when slighted.

This is really a story of double standards. Nat calls out the gang for nearly killing Tyrell and that's fine but when Jackie does it it leads to a cage match.

Mari throwing mushrooms in the soup is fine but Misty gathering them is a problem. Like they really pick and choose who they want to blame for shit. They almost raped Tyler but it's when Jackie has consensual sex with him that's an issue?!

And don't get me started on that shitty coach. Like he gave them some hunting tips and that's it. That's his input. He's let them go along with every harebrained scheme they've concocted and has taken no care or responsibility over anything when he's the only adult.

Like there's no way he should have let her go out there alone. There's wolves and shit and they're creeping up on winter and even if it didn't snow it could still grow cold enough to freeze someone to death. Or she could have caught a cold and tell me how they were planning to treat that then.

It honestly made me so angry. Sad but angry because all of these were completely avoidable deaths.

So does Lottie become like the leader of their cult? I guess I thought it would be Misty...

Lottie, Van and Misty

Tell me that's the best heart and not Jackie's 😭

So Lottie didn't fall in that pit?

Honestly I would kind of be happy if it was Mari. She'd been a shit stirrer and she's the only character whose name I remember who hasn't been accounted for as an adult and had dark hair.

Something tells me things would have been better off if it was Lottie though.

Speaking of Lottie however, on the one hand she seems like a bit of a pushover but on the other she definitely has a lot of influence right now.

Van seems to have already subscribed to whatever cult thing is going on. Most of the other girls too out of fear and necessity. Taissa is probably the most sceptical next to Nat and Jackie and is only seemingly going along with it to appease Van. Shauna is more ambivalent and seems to only be siding with the group to get at Jackie and now she's kind of stuck with it. The guys are just accessories at this point. Nat is probably the only one who could go either way but while she kicks up a fuss she just goes along with everything. So I guess we have the cult origin story now.

Sad for Jackie. Shauna's reaction was gut wrenching too. You could tell that while they fought they still both really love each other. They're just dumb teens making bad decisions in a setting where that's more likely to cost them their lives.

As bad as things were before it feels like they're just gonna go downhill from here. Every time it felt they hit rock bottom things got worse.

The season is over. The acting was phenomenal. The whole show was amazing. I have a tonne of questions and theories. Like whoever is behind the murder is clearly one of them or connected to them enough to know about those symbols and stuff. And they're probably the ones who kidnapped Nat. Or at least that's what we're being led to believe so there's probably some twists and turns coming next season.

But I'm sure these four weren't the only ones that made it out of there and my hope is that next season we'll get to see some more of them. It's interesting we've seen characters like Lottie and Van but mostly from other perspectives, as side characters to other people's stories so far, so maybe we'll go deeper into them next season.

I really want the group to expand cause right now with there being four, it's giving pretty little liars. Though the cultish, cliquishness reminds me of rule of rose. It's very good nevertheless and I like that they don't seem to try to throw in twists and turns that don't make sense just to get one over on the audience.

Like, Taissa killing the dog was something you could have seen coming a mile away. Jackie being iced out (though maybe not literally) was set up from the beginning. The girls met up behind her back to address what to do about Allie choking in their game, and Taissa led the conversation just like she led the group most of the season. And this pattern continued all throughout the season.

I love the little breadcrumbs they threw in there for us to follow. That they set things up early on and left us breadcrumbs to follow, rather than red herrings. It's nice. A lot of mystery shows do the opposite. They give you no info so their detectives seem smart when they throw around a bunch of exposition based on information you never got. We got the information and got to react to it accordingly and come up with our own conclusions here and I love that. I hope they keep it up. I just hope next season doesn't end with a cliffhanger, what with the writers' and actors' strike.
