YELLOWJACKETS APPRECIATION WEEK 2023 day two: favorite character(s) ↳ SHAUNA SHIPMAN, JACKIE TAYLOR, TAISSA TURNER, VAN PALMER

[fairytwles]

Yellowjacket characters as Hollow Knight characters

- with some with serious analysis and some based off of just vibes

(will make a part two with more characters, these are the only ones i have figured out so far, if u have any suggestions lmk!!)

𖦹 *٭ 𓆣 𖢥 𓆣٭ * 𖦹𖦹 *٭ 𓆣 𖢥 𓆣٭ * 𖦹𖦹 *٭ 𓆣 𖢥 𓆣٭ * 𖦹𖦹 *٭ 𓆣 𖢥 𓆣٭ * 𖦹𖦹 *٭

Natalie is Hornet

both become "royalty"

Hornet being the Pale King's and Herrah the Beast, Queen of Deepnests daughter

Natalie becoming their "leader" (maybe the antler queen)

protect others

hornet protects and guides ghost (after she realizes they're fr)

Natalie protects the yellowjackets, (she tries to protect javi, protects misty after shauna punched her, yj's trust her enough to protect them when they make her their leader)

Trust Issues

Hornet doesn't fuck w/ anyoneeeee until she knows they're good and all that, will do anything to help stop the infection

Natalie's got trust issues bc of too many reasons to fucking list

daddy issues

hornet's is self-explanatory

Natalie's dad a bitch

they're both badasses

no explanation needed <3

they also both carry cool long weapons <33 (nats gun and hornets needle)

𖦹 *٭ 𓆣 𖢥 𓆣٭ * 𖦹𖦹 *٭ 𓆣 𖢥 𓆣٭ * 𖦹𖦹 *٭ 𓆣 𖢥 𓆣٭ * 𖦹𖦹 *٭ 𓆣 𖢥 𓆣٭ * 𖦹𖦹 *٭

Shauna is Cornifer

they both have to write/doodle or else they'll die

i don't really have an explanation for this one

kinda based this off of Jackie Being Iselda.... Cornifer loves Iselda, Shuana loves Jackie

both nerdsssss (affectionate)

both secretly badasses even though they look innocent (corny mapping the most dangerous areas in hallownest by himself) (Shauna going fucking crazy)

𖦹 *٭ 𓆣 𖢥 𓆣٭ * 𖦹𖦹 *٭ 𓆣 𖢥 𓆣٭ * 𖦹𖦹 *٭ 𓆣 𖢥 𓆣٭ * 𖦹𖦹 *٭ 𓆣 𖢥 𓆣٭ * 𖦹𖦹 *٭

Jackie is Iselda

sassy queens

who are those divasssssss

they both got attitude and I love them for it

Iselda being annoyed with Cornifer 24/7

Jackie being annoyed in general 24/7 (so real)

THE it girls

i feel like jackie would be the type to say " Sigh....bapanada"

Stays back while the others do the heavy lifting

love my girl jackie (i am her and she is me)

but her and Iselda just sit around (and they look good doing it!)

Iselda runs the shop while cornifer goes down into hallownest to map it, exploring the most dangerous areas

Jackie stays at the cabin while shauna literally guts animals

corny and iselda = jackieshauna

this one was mostly based off of vibes to whoops

Iselda was once a warrior and left it to run her and Cornifers shop

Jackie was once team captain and got demoted to a lesser role

(not saying Iselda was demoted but she was in a position of power and now she isn't anymore?? if that makes sense, plus she doesn't seem the happiest running the shop lol)

Misty is The Pale Lurker

Crazy bitchessssssss

they both give off the same feral energy

they both seem like they would bite

when I was thinking of who would be who the first thing I thought was "misty would be that crazy jumping bitch from the Collosseum of Fools"

screams

Devotion

The Pale Lurker is obviously known to be super devoted to the pale king, even though his reign has long ended,

Misty is one of the first ones to be super devoted to "the wilderness" and it's powers, she calls out Jackie for not praying to the wilderness before the religion is even really established

she's also super devoted to natalie when she becomes their leader, this devotion leads all the way up to natalie's death 25 years later even though her "reign" ended decades ago.

Pale Lurker holds onto The Pale Kings ideas and reign while Misty holds onto the Wilderness and it's rules and ideas

they both go crazy because of their devotion (though arguably misty was crazy b4 hand, love her tho)

The Antler Queen is The Pale King

God Like Beings

The Pale king is a "higher being" who is known to have knowledge the common bugs don't

The Antler Queen is a god like entity in the wilderness, knowing and seemingly (?) controlling the weather, who dies etc.

Ruthlessness

pale king is known to be a cold hearted ruthless bitch (see: baby pit)

basically took over Hallownest and made it his own even though there were other communities already there

managed to get those communities (who already had leaders/gods of their own) to follow him instead

antler queen is known to be ruthless, killing javi, jackie, pit girl (etc.) (this is if the antler queen is truly a supernatural entity and not just the girls minds)

the girls easily turned to the wilderness, worshipping it as if it was always there

The Antler Queen is The Radiance

Both God like Beings (see The Antler Queen is The Pale King)

both are gods in a sense that they have devoted followers

Infection

The Radiance was upset about the pale kings rule, taking away her followers and leaving her forgotten, so she infected the minds of all the civilians to basically be her walking zombie puppets, slowly killing them all

The Antler Queen took Advantage of the Yellowjackets once they crashed in the woods, slowly infecting their minds (starting with Lottie) until they were all devoted to her (the antler queen) doing whatever it took to keep the wilderness happy

The Antler Queen and the wilderness slowly killed off the yellowjackets one by one with the "infection" of her rule.

the infected bugs attack ghost and hornet (who are not infected)

the girls attack the others who do not follow the wilderness (coach ben as a whole, jackie as a whole, though a more specific example would be misty calling out jackie for not praying, leading to jackies death)

Looks

they both got silly lil horns

𖦹 *٭ 𓆣 𖢥 𓆣٭ * 𖦹𖦹 *٭ 𓆣 𖢥 𓆣٭ * 𖦹𖦹 *٭ 𓆣 𖢥 𓆣٭ * 𖦹𖦹 *٭ 𓆣 𖢥 𓆣٭ * 𖦹𖦹 *٭

Lottie is The Hollow Knight

The Chosen one

The Hollow Knight was seen as the truly 100% pure and hollow one, out of all the other discarded children, by the Pale King, leading him to be the "the chosen one" and the one to entrap the radiance

Lottie was seen as "the chosen one" by the wilderness and the antler queen, leading her to be "the Prophet" "saving" all the other yellowjackets by sharing the wildernesses word

The First One Infected

When The Hollow Knight successfully entraps the radiance inside of its shell it is the first one to get "infected" because the hk wasn't truly hollow, the radiance burst out, leading to the infection of all the citizens

Lottie was the first one to "hear" the wilderness, and introduced it to the rest of the yellowjackets, Lottie was the first one "infected" with the wildernesses mind, and she slowly infected the rest of the yj when she spread the word (aka the wilderness bursting out of her instead of her keeping it inside)

Regret

Hollow Knight regrets and hates itself for infecting the others and fighting ghost (u can see Hollow trying to stab himself in the final fight between him and ghost to try to help ghost kill him) even though he can't help it

Lottie unintentionally starts the hunt because of her devotion to the wilderness and it's need for sacrifice to keep it happy, she tells misty after they kill javi that "this isn't what she wanted" but there's no way to stop it now.

not the "true chosen one"

The Hollow Knight wasn't truly hollow, leading to the radiance and infection bursting out of him and infecting/killing the entirety of hallownest,

ghost takes his place at the end because he is the truly hollow one

Lottie gives away her place as "The Antler Queen" after the first hunt, saying she can't hear it anymore

Natalie takes her place after the wilderness saved her, deeming natalie worthy.

Putting all my Yellowjackets Art in one place! I'll keep adding stuff here

[tabithatwo]

shauna shipman, girl who rolls her eyes when lottie responds after she beats her to maybe death, woman who just immediately assumes she’ll have to kill the goat and reinforces it so much it becomes Externally Real to her and others, I love you so much

[tattlesandtales]

[Starter for @feminaferitas]

V. Palmer. 

Vanessa Palmer. Van Palmer. Van. 

The V. Palmer on her prescription bottle of pills was for her and Van couldn’t stop staring at it. She shared those initials with her mother, a woman that Van actively avoided thinking about, and now here she was, taking prescription medication with a V. Palmer on the label just like she used to. Back then, Van’s mother had used some bullshit excuse about an old injury playing up that needed the pain relief, and eventually mixing the opioids with booze had been what killed her in the end. Van had always known it would, and getting the call hadn’t been a surprise. 

Van sighed and shook the pill bottle, debating whether she wanted to take them or not. She’d not taken any since she’d been given the prescription a couple of months ago, but as the cancer had begun to eat its way deeper through Van’s body, the pain had increased to an almost unmanageable level. Even then, Van was doubled up in pain over her kitchen counter after closing the store, using her hips and her elbow to keep herself from falling all the way down to the floor. 

Still, Van felt doubt creeping into the edges of her thoughts and she turned the bottle over to read the potential side effects. 

Nausea. Check.

Vomiting. Sometimes. 

Rapid heart rate. Yep. 

Migraines. Increasing in regularity. 

Constipation. You have to eat for that. 

Loss of appetite. Very much so. 

Dizziness. The pain was worse. 

Drowsiness. All the time. 

Lowered libido. Not relevant. 

Hallucinations. Maybe tripping balls was a better option to the bone deep pain she was already feeling. 

Addiction. Van knew she wasn’t going to live long enough for it to matter. 

With a tired, defeated and pained groan, Van twisted the lid off the pill bottle and shook two capsules onto the countertop before putting the lid back and putting the orange bottle aside. It took another moment of deliberating and talking herself into it before she was able to put the little pills into her mouth and stick her face under the faucet to gulp water and force the medicine down her throat. 

Van wasn’t sure how long it was going to take to start working, so she forced herself to straighten up and walk over to her sofa, sinking down into the plush surface to wait and see what came next.

[lingeringscars]

Van: I'd rather keep the past in the past

Shauna: im all about living in the present

Both of them: Not Doing This

[yee-hawlw]

"Evil" Taissa in love with Van. "Good" Taissa in love with Shauna.

gonna have to disagree with you on that one. i think both tais are in love with van, and i think awake tai definitely has deep feelings for shauna too. we haven't seen sletai interact with shauna very much? so maybe something will happen between the sletai and shauna

but im gunning for tai/shauna/van, honestly

[jollyreginaldrancher]

More realistic Yellowjackets hcs

•Van is squeamish af. She nearly threw up when just talking about Allie's leg in the pilot, and she almost throws up everytime you finally get to pick a movie and you go for a horror thing.

• Shauna would be one of those girls that could never pick what to eat. She would drag you to hell and back before she'd finally just go with one of the same three restaurants she always chooses. Even though she always picks the same she still wants you to suggest every place in town before she reaches a conclusion.

• Nat and Van overshare with each other. If you're with either one of them you will get smug looks from the other.

• Nat and Van also share their porn stash. Van has the decency to hide it but Nat just leaves her magazines on her night stand. You only ever knew she shared them with Van because you saw one of their trades. Nat tucked a folded up mag into the back of her pants. Van hid hers in the bottom of her schoolbag. You cringed so hard when you realised that's what they were doing. Nat stole them during a house party and Van let curiosity get the better of her and long story short they'd been trading them all year until you found out and used the rolled up magazine to beat Natalie over the head with.

• Van absolutely tries to build a house out of breadsticks every time you take her out to a restaurant for dinner.

• She tries to make an igloo out of waffles.

• You're on the team, on Away games and you share a room with Nat. She climbs on the bed and rocks it back and forth making it squeak and makes moaning sounds when you're on the phone with your mom. If Van is there she will join in but she will be blushing the whole time.

• Trying to get closer to Taissa involves being forced to take part in her morning constitutionals. Only her morning constitutionals involve 45 minute morning runs. And her legs are so long you are constantly trailing behind, and with her, everything is a competition so she straight up leaves you in the dust. You've gotten lost in her neighbourhood multiple times when she's left you behind to run ahead.

• Jackie's inviting you to weeknight dinners with her parents and expecting you to sit idly by while they passive aggressively destroy your confidence. She gives you yours back though after dinner when she lets you top her on her frilly bedsheets.

• Jackie makes you leave her house after dinner, get in your car, drive to the house next door, out of sight, then sneak back and climb up to her window to hit it.

• Sitting in a pew in the back of Laura Lee's church, your hand resting on the stretch of wood between you. You scratch your chin and return it absentmindedly only to find her hand is also resting between you...her pinkie is close enough to touch. You breathe heavily as you ghost your finger against it only for her to react by parting her fingers. Not a lot, but just enough to interlink your pinkies. Your heart is thumping so loud you swear the whole congregation is aware of it. You stare forward, your eyes glazed over as the priest chants Κύριε Ελέησον.

• After church one day, you hang back with Laura Lee as your parents all mingle with other members of the church. The two of you climb to the second floor, way in the back, and lie down on one of the pews, head to head. You look up at her, and she looks up at you and smiles. It's the same pious smile she always gives you but this time you swear her gaze fixes on your lips a moment.

Her parents call her over to go home and she sits up abruptly and waves at you as she bounces nervously away.

• Akilah spends most of her free time with family. Her older sister and her husband both work, so she and her mom get saddled with babysitting her nephew a lot. She sits around the house watching tv and doing homework with a baby on her lap most days. She's supposed to put him down but he's sooooo cute she just can't bring herself to.

When he's a little older, you two sneak him his first bit of chocolate. Well, less sneak, more he reaches over and shoves your entire ice cream down his throat at six months. He doesn't get to the cone before Akilah pulls him away but half your scoop is gone with him. Akilah apologises profusely but you just laugh. She offers to buy you another ice cream and you suggest a rain check. Your first date is an ice cream date when she's no longer grounded for letting him have ice cream at six months. He was fine though.

• Mari doesn't have nieces or nephews yet but she has so many cousins and they all get together and play soccer at family get-togethers. She is not the only one in that family who's on a soccer team but she's the only one who's going to nationals so the competition is stiff with all her cousins competing against her to prove they're all just as good. You may not be the best but she starts dragging you to all of these get togethers so the two of you can ratio her entire family together.

She normally wears jumpers and ties her hair up and stuff but her family notices that she dresses in way more form-fitting clothes and lets her hair down when you start coming to these things and ALL make fun of her for it. I'm talking little baby cousins who look up at her and make kissy faces behind your back and you feel a breeze when you turn your head, and hear the thud of a couch cushion hitting a seven year old at full force.

Oh no, her cousin spilled some juice on you now. Guess she has to bring you to her room, alone, and give you something to change into. You hear another Thwack behind your back as she ushers you down this hallway to the back.

A few cousins grin at you both through the window so she rushes to shut the blinds... She's red as fuck at this point. You're in her room and it's the designated coat room so she pushes a big pile of coats off to the side so you can sit down. She rummages through her closet and finds something that's lowkey a little revealing but she realises her whole family will see you in this so she reaches for a turtleneck instead. It's way too hot though so she just grabs a yellowjackets tee and hands you that and pretends to look around her own room while you change.

• She sniffs it when she gets it back.

• Melissa wears her hat backwards so she can be more easily identifiable as a skater. She's the only girl skater in the school but she doesn't get that much shit for it because she's also a jock on the soccer team that's going to nationals.

• She absolutely tries to rizz you up while skating around you.

• She absolutely loses her focus and eats shit while trying to hit on you.

• You give her your number out of pity.

• She writes your number down on her arm and then uses that part of her arm to wipe the sweat off her brow.

• You realise she's not playing dumb for the bit but you give her a shot anyway. You spend a disproportionate amount of time applying bandages on her and talking her off dumb stunts.

• Had there been any flat surfaces in the wilderness she could have used to skate on, she would have been the first to die.

• Gen...fuck it I don't know shit about Gen. Maybe she's a ninja. Yeah.

• latchkey kid with one of those dogs that's small enough to fit in a bag. It's fluffy and smol. She brings it on dates and feeds it breadsticks when her date isn't looking.

• Gen likes to dress that dog up in funky little outfits. Sometimes she matches it. Has a box full of pictures of her dressing her dog up.

• Misty can and will drag you into the equipment room for some alone time at school.

• Still plays doctor. Doesn't realise that the objective is not to heal the patient but to get close to the patient and feel them up. On the upside she has a full nurse costume. Not a sexy nurse costume, an accurate replica of a nurse costume. So accurate she's banned from wearing it at the local free clinic. Because 12 year old Misty tried to wear it to the clinic the way kids wear princess costumes to Disneyland.

• Van and Natalie subscribe to the sniff test. These jeans Nat's wearing were at the bottom of her used clothes pile but it doesn't matter because they passed the sniff test. Can Van pull off wearing that hoodie for a third day in a row? Yes, because it passed the sniff test. Sniff test.

• Van and Nat have burping contests outside Denny's at 3 am.

• Misty goes to sleep at 8pm every night. Even Laura Lee thinks that's way too early and she has a strict self-imposed bedtime at 10:30.

• Jackie's skincare routine takes the better part of the night.

• Shauna makes you sleep on the floor because she kicks in her sleep and it's her bed so...

• Lottie can come up with an excuse for shit at the drop of a hat. Usually it's excuses for why you shouldn't leave her house and why you should stay over. Lately she's been using excuses to get away from you though and it's worrying you. Nevermind she just wanted space to throw you a surprise party. Wholesome ass.

[nataliescatorccioapologist]

All of my Season 3 predictions:

•There will be a time jump of about 3 months in the teen timeline

•There will be a time jump of 2 years in the adult timeline

•A funeral or gathering will be held for Nat in the adult timeline

•Misty will grapple with guilt over Nat’s death and will wear her jacket and/or overemphasize how close she and Nat were to cope

•Misty and Walter are going to get freaky and form a romantic relationship

•Lottie will have feelings for Nat in the wilderness that are unrequited (but also kind of requited, but will never be acted upon) and this will be juxtaposed with her grieving Nat’s death in the adult timeline

•Shauna will be hallucinating left and right this season. Delusions, hallucinating Jackie, hallucinating her dead son, etc.

•An FBI investigation will be opened on the death of Adam Martin, Kevyn Tan, and Natalie Scatorccio (and maybe Travis Martinez?). Hilary Swank and Joel McHale will play FBI agents

•Van’s cancer will be cured. It will be implied that this is because of Nat’s death/sacrifice

•The 8th survivor will be Akilah???

•Cabin guy’s daughter is still alive and living in the wilderness. She was Javi’s “friend” and she’s been living in the tree cave thing this whole time. Coach Ben finds her first (and maybe forms an initial alliance with her before she eventually betrays him?) and eventually the group encounters her (maybe she’s the Antler Queen?)

•Antler Queen is finally revealed (Nat? Shauna? Cabin Daughter?)

•Lottie feels lost and directionless in the teen timeline since she’s not the leader and can’t hear the wilderness anymore

•Lottie is fresh out of the psych ward in the adult timeline

•Lottie’s dad appears in the adult timeline and her dad trauma is explored

•Tai and Van get back together in the adult timeline and we’re going to get a FREAKY WILD sex scene between the two of them

•Ghost Nat, Ghost Laura Lee, Ghost Jackie

•New pre-crash scenes and post-rescue (1998-early 2000s) scenes

•They will commit cannibalism in the spring time when it’s not necessary for survival

•Van is going to go full dark side in this season both in the teen timeline and the adult timeline. Girl is going to be UNHINGED I can feel it

•We’re also going to get a much darker side of Nat this season. I think something snapped in her after Javi’s death and we’re going to see her really embracing that primal/dark version of herself that she’s been desperately fighting off this entire time. She’s going to go to some extreme lengths to keep the group alive as the new leader

•Jeff dies??

•Callie is going to kill someone or help Shauna kill people, she’s going to represent the “next generation” of the Wilderness

•Pit Girl reveal at the end of the season (and it’s gonna be Mari I’m so so sorry)

•Shauna and Nat are going to fight and there will be lots of tension around Shauna’s resentment of Nat being chosen as leader instead of her. Nat may lose the throne as a result

•Coach Ben is found and killed by the girls. Maybe Nat finds him early on and initially keeps him alive but then she lets the group kill him once she goes full “dark side”

If I’m wrong you didn’t see any of this

[n0eyed-taissa]

yellowjackets season 3 trailer takeaways/theories/observations/questions:

time jump: season 2 was firmly set in the winter and it looks like the bulk of 3 will be set in the spring (with some flashes to the Deep Winter)

how much time has passed & how did they manage to comfortably survive post-fire?

i think this time jump & whatever happened during the in-between time will explain how and why the girls seem much more deranged than they did.

they gave in to desperation and its circumstances, so nothing is really 'taboo' anymore. gimme scary evil cannibal lesbians pls

even shauna's narration references the fact that the girls "went completely nuts" out there

allusions to The Hunt: while i know most folks think mari has always been Pit Girl, i think her running in the trailer is a red herring.

this WILL, however, be what sets up the hunt and its rules/functions/the course

(because to ME, it has always looked like a cleared/intentionally set path, with s1ep1 showing their hand-made adornments hanging from the surrounding trees )

mari is 100% wearing the dress/nightgown that s1ep1 Pit Girl is.

tiktok fans have been theorizing that perhaps based on the rules of the hunt, mari will survive whatever the hell is about to happen to her while still later meeting Pit Girl's fate in the winter, but who's to say

"cant believe we didnt eat that bitch first" - says the one with the big brown eyes like a baby mf cow. she just wants to snack on her friends!

(y'all saw that part where shauna is biting and restraining mari, right?)

power struggle: it looks like there are going to be factions splitting up, or the girls will continue to show alliance to a particular 'leader'

van, misty, mari, akilah, and either New Gen or robin? potentially in support of lottie's leadership and connection to the wilderness?

them vs Everyone Else, who seems more focused on practical survival

coach ben seeing the snare trap and probably wondering if it was for a person or for an animal

(i didnt know what a snare was so i truly needed to google 'animal trap that looks like a n**se but isnt. sue me!)

shauna locking herself in a freezer because it was the only way she could talk to jackie. putting yourself into dangerous situations in hopes of manifesting the ghost of your lover? okay bella swan in new moon!

jackieshauna being connected by coldness, both emotionally and physically.

from the meat shed to the freezer, jackie taylor's ghost will never escape the ethel cain parallels!

theres probably someone out there in the world who wants to smash the man with no eyes, huh.........dont answer that actually.

taissa's grown out hair makes little tiny magical hearts float all around my head. wow. just wow.

are the yellowjackets going on a field trip in the wilderness together? where tf is natalie and did she find coach ben's hidey hole?

the envelope being addressed to shauna shipman and not shauna sadecki makes me think its from a person with ties to the wilderness, pushing the secret 8th survivor theory (perhaps hilary swank as adult Melissa CoolHat)

i WANT this ritual scene to be another dream-like allegory for them enjoying their descent.

if the snackie feast was the roman bacchanal, the political split between the girls and the power imablance could be going into a julius cesar-y territory? especially with the mistyshauna stabbing?

misty exploring someplace that looks like the one from lottie's visions? someone is on trial? natlie isnt in charge anymore?! walter has a mustache now?!!!!

van's new fixation on the fire, alluding to the idea that she could have been the one to burn down the cabin??? to quote you, girl, "REALLY? fire?!"

shauna with her knife to melissa's throat....is something gay happening there?

this creepy little song is really giving me the vibe that everything will NOT be okay!!!

in summation: women can be a little evil, as a treat!
