Yellowjackets Ep 2.5: Van
Hello! This is about up to Season 2, Episode 5 of Yellowjackets, and ONLY that of Yellowjackets. I have not seen beyond this spot, at all, and know NOTHING about this show. Please do not spoil it for me. Things that are spoilery in nature, for me, include: saying things like “Just wait!!” confirming or denying anything I put forward, outside information about the cast interviews or creator statements, leading questions like “Do you think “blank moment” means anything?” etc. Remember that Y’ALL HAVE SEEN THE SHOW AND I HAVE NOT. This informs the way you talk about things relating to the show. Just be really careful is all I’m asking. Also: If there is LITERALLY any stance I could take on this show or character that would make you upset, please just fucking block the tag
If you WOULD like to discuss the show and my takes on it, the Discord is right here! I don’t go there, so it’s a great place to get every emotion out.
Please thank @sailorsunspot and @moonlight-frittata for backing this odd way of doing a liveblog, and remember my tip jar is always open
So Van’s arrested development thjing (aside from, you know, Tai) is video tapes. I’m not sure I would have seen that coming, but it fits along with everyone else’s ways of remaining a teenager. Even in the opener of this episode, we see that Van is chjatting to people much younger than her. That’s not inherently problematic or whatever you imagine that I’m going to say, but she’s literally just reflecting on the things that were popular when she was a teenager. She’s bringing other people back, to where she still lives. It’s not even just a video store where people can come rent things, it’s a literal VHS store. She rents the VCR, too. And all her stupid movie references! There’s no progress forward.
We see such a glimpse into how she’s let her entire life go by in the way she watches that wedding video. She has watched other people’s lives, and never really participated in her own, i imagine because she is still busy living this fantasy she created. Where she and Tai got married or whatever and they were sappy together, and without that, without Tai, without Lottie, Van is incredibly pathetic. Maybe even moreso than Shauna, though admittedly, I get to say that with a lot more Shauna-based experience under my belt.
I don’t have enough Tai to really talk just about Tai, so I’m gonna fold this moment into Van’s whole thing I guess. He breakdown, her screaming, to me that was more of young Tai coming out. As the Yellowjackets spend more time together they are regressing even further. The layers that let them believe they had ever grown up, they had ever moved past, are all getting stripped away slowly.
We know Van has the terminal cancer, right? It’s not a pill addiction thing.I mean, I feel like I am not dropping insane truth bombs here, it is shaded so heavily.
Also, her scars are hilarious, I’m sorry. This is a really badly done aspect of the show. She should look rougher. There should be pulling and intense scarring. I know Van has to be good looking enough for us to cheer for her and Tai (I won’t) but come on.

Yellowjackets S2 e5
Why are they talking about the baby in the recap? Is Shauna gonna give birth soon? Or miscarry? Something is gonna happen with the baby for sure.
The vibes in Van's place are immaculate.
Excuse me, you mean to tell me there were other people in the room while they were having their moment? Like were they unaware that queer history was happening right in front of them, or?
TAI REALLY FELL FOR HER 😅
I could go on about how Van's place/shop indicate she is also stuck in time or regressing like the others but I feel like I've been ranting too long in these posts. It is weird she just threw her bills away though. Almost like she was not planning on staying there long enough for the consequences to reach her. Was she living a nomadic life or was she just about to pack up and move? Or were her problems so bad she was just giving up on them? I dont know. I could analyse that in a million different ways but ultimately I just need more info really.
Speaking of which, I hope the scene continues after the credits. If we have to wait all episode for an update again I don't know what I am gonna do.
Oh we're back to the friggin cabin.
I'm gonna set it in fire 😤
Van's not sleeping with Taissa anymore? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
She woke up unattached to her. Is this her way of breaking things off? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Please tell me she just got up to pee.
Oh thank god they're still together 😅
They're giving me life at the moment so I'm just happy to see them together.
Shauna's belly looks massive for someone who's stranded in the woods with nothing to eat. I feel like there's no way the baby and stomach would get that big.
Honestly let's take a moment to think about how much it would have sucked for Shauna being not only pregnant as a teen in that situation but also her best friend dying and losing any sort of comfort she had from that relationship on top of everything else. Like I can close my eyes and imagine Jackie helping her or snuggling up to her or giving her a massage or whatever cause she was that kind of friend. And now that's gone.
I completely understand why she would go into that shed to talk to her and Tai is fooling herself if she thinks she'd be any better if Van really did die when she got mauled to death.
"happy wife happy life" now you're getting it 😘
Honestly glad Trevor is at the cult therapy session. He needed some anger management and this is the closest thing to that in this scenario.
Did nobody tell Callie that her new friend is a cop or is this a scheme of some sort?
Would it be bad if I just skipped all these filler scenes and just watched the bits that I cared about? This is honestly starting to resemble pretty little liars in a bad way with all the random filler comphet relationships. Like I had to wait through so many Ezra and Aria scenes just to get to the good stuff (Paige and Emily) and it feels like this show is kind of turning into the same thing at this point.
Every interesting scene is intercut with random shit of straight people screwing or married couples fighting and crap like that. We get like one gay scene but we have to sit through 45 minutes of other crap to get to it and it's not fair.
I don't hate any of these characters, they're just spreading the runtime time too thin between too many characters. Cut Callie out completely. Take out a chunk of Shauna and Jeff's stuff, they haven't really been interesting since Adam's death. Even Misty is suffering due to her forced collaboration with that shitty stalker of hers. Nat and Lottie and Tai and Van is where the present day story is at but their scenes are moving along at a snail's pace because they just spend way too much time trying to showcase other characters. Especially when things are really picking up in these other stories. I'm getting whiplash with the way the focus is constantly changing between all these groups of characters.
And I know other shows do it too (Game of thrones, bold and the beautiful, etc) but it's still really frustrating that it's happening here.
At least we're learning a bit about the cards. Though we already heard about them, we never really saw how they used them to divide tasks.
Not Randy 😅 why is he always the go-to for these lies? 🤣
If he hadn't been to taco bell how would he know the beans upset his stomach? He's clearly lying there. Also I still think he is shifty as fuck.
Oh my god we're FINALLY gonna see Van and Taissa interact as adults 🥹
I just know Van is looking at that wedding tape and wishing that was her and Tai 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Van is sharp as a whistle. She immediately hit the nail on the head.
They were together at Shauna's wedding? 🥹 Or at least they were talking and interacting back then 🥹🥹
Please, for the love of God, tell me they got that pretzel 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Just know I'm hanging onto every word Van and Taissa say.
A bunch of other scenes and things happened and I didn't really care because Van and Taissa weren't there and I'm lazer-focused on them at the moment.
Like I love Melanie Lynskey but I didn't even want to look at her straight shenanigans. Just show us the lesbians please and thank you 😭
Crystal and Misty are bonding though and it's cute but it's making me worry that Crystal is going to get killed off soon. They tend to not focus on anybody but the mains and the characters that get killed off and since Crystal only really started cropping up recently I feel it would be naive to assume they were just showing more of the other yellowjackets out of the goodness of their hearts and not just to make us sad when they eventually killed them off.
One thing I did not anticipate is how much I would end up loving these characters...specifically the yellowjacket girls, and even more specifically the lesbians (Shauna, Nat, Van, Misty, and Taissa). I am just so glad all my babies are all alive 😌 and now Van and Taissa can get back together and live happily ever after 🥰
Nothing against Simone but she doesn't get Tai like Van does. And while divorcing would be hard I think it's safe to say their marriage is beyond saving at this point. Not only did they lose love and trust but when your partner actively fears you then you NEED to step away.
Anyway Crystal and Misty are cute -though some of those stories they're sharing feel like something they should be unpacking with a psychiatrist and not a friend- but I am really worried about Crystal...wait, Kristen, apparently.
Oh no. Misty no, please tell me she's not going to tell her about the black box.
Misty nooooo 😭😩 why would you tell her that? Read the room!
I'm honestly getting autism vibes from Misty if I'm being honest. Mostly from the deodorant thing.
Yeah, Crystal is definitely gonna die.
See I don't even want to write RIP because of the obvious joke (rest in poop).
I'm guessing eating Crystal is out of the question. Cannibalizing a corpse is bad enough but cannibalizing a corpse that fell into the poop pit is just beyond the realm of acceptable.
Nat must be on some mission here because up til now she was desperate to escape and I don't think two therapy sessions would have really had that effect on her unless there's a lot more to their relationship in the past that we have yet to watch. Maybe related to that cult stuff. Though with the info we have now it seems more like a rivalry and like Nat is trying to break her cult up from the inside rather than trying to join it. Although cults do have more of an effect on people who fit Nat's circumstances, who are isolated and don't have much of anything going on for them.
I'm lowkey hoping Misty Crystals that William guy that's with her because I don't trust him and I can't stand him and historically her friends don't dare well.
Anyway I'm clueing onto the fact that Misty has some deep seated issues with self loathing and only pursues friendships with people like Nat, who hate her or otherwise look down on her because she can't accept being treated with love and respect as she doesn't feel like she deserves it.
Basically Misty is a masochist and turning away someone who looks up to her (or at least appears to worship her) because she hates herself and doesn't feel worthy of love and this is the way she's stagnated (like all the other girls have) and gotten stuck at age 16.
Honestly the vibe I'm getting is they're all punishing themselves. Nat through drugs, Shauna through sticking it out with Jeff because she feels like she HAS to make it worth basically killing Jackie, Misty through living a life of Loveless was and anonymity where she just cares for other people who would never care about her and Tai and Van by giving up the one thing that kept them while and sane; each other.
Everybody's making a sacrifice.
Shauna/Randy is cracking me up. I forgot he had some useful info he could share with her. Their scene was funny though at least and a break from the usual torture her scenes with her family are.
Is Tai really joining team Lottie or just playing peacekeeper?
Tell me that drug isn't a sign of bad times for Van. Like, I am sure it's a bad omen but just like to me.
I'm guessing painkiller or something like that. Lowkey hoping Van just had some bad injury and needed it, and not that she's addicted to it or needing it to survive.
There's a lot of other similar looking bottles in that shelf though 😭
Like she was watching that wedding video and it looked like she was longing for something. I don't want to jinx it, I'll shut up now 😭😭😭😭😭
When she said the V is for Vicky I thought she married someone named Vicky 😅 but no that's her mom's name. It's horrible she got cancer and died. Isn't it generic though? Van might not be out of the woods 🥺
If she survived all that just to get cancer and die I will kill myself 🙃
Anyway Van is right and has every right to be upset probably. It looks like Taissa was the first one to walk away. I don't know if we'll get more details but that's the vibe that we're getting here. Like it seems like Taissa left her behind and Van has been waiting for her all this time 🥹
TAISSA LOVES VAN CONFIRMED!
THIS IS NOT A DRILL! GRAB YOUR U-HAULS AND YOUR SLEEPING BAGS BECAUSE VANTAI IS A GO!!!!!!!🥹🎉🎊
The gals are holding each other and crying, that's second base in lesbian.
The downside is we have to look at the other characters now. On the plus side I was right about Nat staying behind because she doesn't trust Lottie.
The wild thing is that Lottie did all that and Nat is the one looking insane in that scene. Like, read the room hon, this is a cult, they are self aware enough to know they're in a cult, they just don't care that it's a cult.
Honestly not surprised Shauna is terrified. Who wouldn't be in that scenario? But i feel like the subplot with Misty's friend dying should sort of take precedence over a simple fight. Unless it's not just a fight. I mean it's not like the baby's coming, they can wait a little
I just had to jinx it, didn't I?
Misty trying to save Crystal though was pretty heartbreaking. I thought she would run back to camp and play innocent. She really went all the way around to the bottom of the cliff just to try and save her immediately after threatening to kill her. Like I feel that shows she doesn't really mean to hurt people,
He really sniffed the splooge sponge?!
Misty: I lost Crystal in the storm
Van *is already out the door screaming Tai's name*
Is Shauna gonna give birth in the woods?
Are Van and Taissas's lesbian powers going to help the girlies get back to camp?
Speaking of Tai and Van we're back to the gals being pals. They fell asleep on the couch and Van covered Taissa with a blankie because she's in love with her 😌
There's no other explanation
And then Van painfully took her meds pretty much confirming she's the one that's sick.
You know what, I have decided to stop being a sceptic and lean into the cult stuff. If it cures whatever Vanessa has going on I'd be willing to convert 🥹
The girls are kissing 🥰🥰🥰
It was the other girl and Van but still.
I'm starting to think evil Tai has a widdle cwush on Van because that's twice now she took the chance to kiss her unprompted. 🫢
I want to believe in that "drunk words are sober thoughts" but instead of drunk words it's possessed smooching. I've decided that these two are getting back together and that they will get married and live happily ever after and buy a dog. Specifically a border Collie. They will have a yard and a VHS store and will live to be old. They will sip iced tea on the front porch and Van will be wearing jeans into her 80s. And when they do go it will be peacefully, in bed with each other, holding hands, in their sleep, together 🥹
That's canon now.
Anyway the show is trying to bait me into shipping Lottie with Nat but I've already decided that Nat is secretly in love with Misty so that's not gonna happen.
Maybe there's an AU where they all died. Maybe that universe is the good one.
Is it hunting at multiple universes? Or is the vision hinting at them being dead all along and being in limbo or hell? If Van dies we'll know it's hell.
Or maybe there really was something in the woods and they did bring it with them. Maybe that's why they refused to grow up and why they kept punishing themselves.
Then again maybe that something isn't an evil spirit but mental thing. That's what the sceptic in me would say if I hadn't drowned her when it became obvious that Van is dying.
The lesbian powers DID work! I knew they had some sort of telepathic connection. How else do you explain them constantly finding one another and so on.
Oh Shauna is giving birth to that baby like right now. Fuck the next episode is gonna be spectacular. I'm surprised they didn't hold out til the finale. They must have something bigger up their sleeve for that then. If they fucking kill Van I will be destroyed so hopefully not that though.

Yellowjackets Episode 2.5: Misty
Hello! This is about up to Season 2, Episode 5 of Yellowjackets, and ONLY that of Yellowjackets. I have not seen beyond this spot, at all, and know NOTHING about this show. Please do not spoil it for me. Things that are spoilery in nature, for me, include: saying things like “Just wait!!” confirming or denying anything I put forward, outside information about the cast interviews or creator statements, leading questions like “Do you think “blank moment” means anything?” etc. Remember that Y’ALL HAVE SEEN THE SHOW AND I HAVE NOT.

Please thank @sailorsunspot and @moonlight-frittata for backing this odd way of doing a liveblog, and remember my tip jar is always open
Misty is beginning to learn that she herself was not unloveable, but the atrocities that she will commit in the pursuit of affection will make her so. Misty is ruthless. There is something wrong with Misty. Misty knows it too! Misty knows she is fundamentally somehow different from the other girls, and not in the mysterious and deep way we all imagine ourselves to be fundamentally different from others, but something that keeps her from connecting.
But it’s not that she’s awkward. She has to see that now, that she is awkward, and she is still in love with Jack Kevorkian, and she is singing musicals, and there was always someone there who could match her. Crystal was just waiting for her, however odd we might find it that they never met up before.
But what DOES make Misty unloveable? What DOES separate her from others? It’s the darkness in her. Misty could be one of those people who pretends for the rest of her life that it was only her nerdiness that kept her from others, but the reality of the situation is that many people just as awkward and nerdy as her have many many human connections. But Misty is something else. She has it in her to destroy the thing that might have saved them, in pursuit of being treated as useful. Misty is willing to ruin other people’s lives, and take them, in order to have friends. It’s as desperate as a teenage girl can get, and she made the mistake of thinking that was relatable. Of thinking that was understandable.
And so she loses Crystal. The only friend she’s had in many years, at least, and someone who accepted the parts of Misty that are too miuch for other people. Misty has to let go of the lie, that she might have told herself when she was older, that it was all because she was too much. Girl, i am too much for my friends often NOW. I am overeager and excitable as fuck. I occasionally get my feeling hurt. But I have plenty of friends. Because people will forgive you awkwardness and oddness, but they will not forgive inhumanity. Not cruelty, but something that suggests you are a different kind of person.
Misty is now so far away from the group that no matter how useful she becomes--and useful is different from loved--no one will ever look at her as a friend. And we see that in present day Misty! We see that she is uniquely alone among the yellowjackets. She INVENTS this loving relationship with Natalie basically wholesale.
This is why she’ll never play that kind of game, two truths and a lie. Because she knows that ever telling the truth about herself is a surefire way to lose anything she’s managed to grab hold of. The truths she tells Walter are little facts about her. They aren’t TRUTHS.
Truly interesting, though, the way he drops that there’s only ever one rule: Win. Because this isn’t that far off from Misty’s point of view, or at least the way she chooses to practice it. Do we think that he actually does tell her only the truth? I’m not sure I do believe that. I’m not sure it matters, when it comes down to it. The whole thing with Walter is so interesting, because she resents him, in a way, for being someone who seemingly loves her as the liar and monster she is. I can’t wait to see where we go with that.
(side note: really really clever of them to have her glaze over when Stayin Alive is playing with Walter, flashing her back to Crystal’s death. I didn’t catch it til I was rewatching for like, third time, for these essays)

Yellowjaackets Episode 2.5: Bullet Points

With Tai having fallen to Lottie’s nonsense, we have a limited number of girls who are not on her train. Is this a part of the whole thing, that if you are going to survive the group, you have to give in to the lunacy of the group? I don’t know what I think about it. I think I may have to give in to the lunacy of the wilderness magic being 100% of the problem, which is a real bummer for me to be honest.
Don’t misunderstand me, I am 100% into mindfulness, and I think there’s a lot ot be said for sitting around and really observing your feelings and surroundings. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with feeling your body and connecting with people. But there’s a lot of problems with the way all of this is being carried out, and I’m not sure if I think Lottie is intentionally steering everyone off a cliff or whether she 100% believes her own bullshit--especially in the current day--but I don’t think she’s UPSET about her level of power.
Given everything that’s happened, “Maybe he did die, and that’s his ghost” isn’t the stupidest thing anyone’s ever said.
I love Akilah’s point about ritual being worth it for its own sake. That human beings love ritual, and it helps them in their own lives. I think about this a lot with my own adherence to ritual, and how I don’t always--though I do sometimes--have any kind of belief in God behind it, but I do believe in the ritual itself, and not only what it means but what it has meant to people. I think that’s what the story is getting at with the story of Akilah and Rachel, and how they used to do little things that probably never helped anyhow.
Travis has every right to be mad at Natalie, and I think she was not wrong to what she did, and I love living with those two terrible, difficult truths.
On the topic of Natalie, i know it’s not the point, but I would also find a convenient escape if I was supposed to tell someone my deepest darkest negative thoughts. That’s wild, no thank you. No vacancy in here. Also, i am not letting fucking Lottie get into my head.
It is REALLY weird that jessica (apparently) didn’t know about Lottie, given that she managed to find Travis, and I assume Tai would have wanted to keep closer tabs on Lottie than Travis.
Speaking of Lottie, I agree with her that this baby is going to change everything--by his death.
Again speaking of Lottie, I feel like they might have originally intended her to be a bigger bad than she sort of is? Don’t tell me, i’ll wait it out, but it seems kind of wavering? Wanting it both ways? I don’t know, I’m not mad about it in this exact moment, but I’m trying to figure out what I’m looking for from it. Young Lottie is doing a lot for me, but Adult Lottie’s not doing it for me yet. (The whole “You started it” this is so interesting ot me because I feel like in an alternate writing world, Lotie DID bring down the spirits)
“I don’t need your fucking prayers, I need you to have my back” Shauna, icon. What do we think, next episode is her having the baby? Don’t actually answer.
So, still annoyed Javi is alive but everything is paranormal I guess so whatever: I assume he’ll talk to Coach Ben because he’s not on the side of dark force or whatever we want to call it the girls are, at this point. Ben is still clinging to his humanity in ways the girls no longer are, though, it’s ging to get worse--I don’t forget the hunt from the opener. So is Javi’s friend an opposing force?
The most interesting part of the whole episode--aside from the Crystal bit--is the reveal that whatever it was, they brought it back. This isn’t shocking to me, at all. I wasn’t even surprised by it, because I think the show has made it pretty clear from the start that none of them ever actually escaped the woods. In a sense, Natalie is right when she says none of them made it out of the crash. I loved the “there was something there with us, or in us” but I’m not going to get too excited because I feel fairly certain the show is going to continue to lean heavily into the paranormal aspects.

Yellowjackets Episode 2.5: Callie

Boy, everything with Callie, huh? Listen, I’m all for taking your time and being smart and alow about stuff, but if you’ve been on several dates with a man, and he doesn’t want to kiss you, something is fucking afoot. Trust. (I would say this is true of most everyone, honestly) I mean, obviously, this is where she figures it all out and confirms it all, but it’s a sign of her extreme naivete, despite what she would say about herself--and I think this is a sign of why it doesn’t bother me, is it works character wise--that she didn’t notice before. Which, ironically, despite all her bad girl bullshit, makes me think she’s not very experienced with men at all.
From the beginning the way he’s talked to her is incredibly paternalistic. Don’t get me wrong, eh is doing all this police shit wrong, and I have criticism for him, but he’s not the character we’re meant to focus on. This is about CALLIE, and CALLIE’s choices and how they affect things. Callie was basically looking for someone to unload on and a way to piss off her parents, but she’ll find she doesn’t actually want her mother in jail.
But of course, the problem there is she still understand how hopelessly naive she is, and so she makes up some incredible bullshit instead of just letting it drop. She creates a new lie, a lie that can’t gain traction because when you are trying to cover up something, you do everything you can not to have to ADD. ADDING, is how you trip up. But she doesn’t know this because she’s an idiot teenager who thinks she’s smart. She’s a Yellowjacket in her own wilderness, thinking she can build up a society and tame the wilderness.
(It says something also, about Shauna’s immaturity, that she thought this would work--honestly the whole thing with Randy Walsh is silly and a little juvenile even within the context of the show and is a good example of how I think the show is losing its way a bit in the adult storyline. I recall the middle of season one slowed a little too, so I’m not concerned yet. )
