it's one poem, michael. how long could it take to write? 10 hours?

Travis: Jackie isn't really gone... Travis: sometimes I can still hear her Jackie's ghost: and then, when I was sucking on her tongue, Shauna would rub my boobs--over the bra, I'm not a slut Lottie: what's she saying?

Ending so devastating I had to draw a happy ending for her

"But it's horror" is no excuse for how Yellowjackets S3 has treated its WOC like absolute shit btw. Horror is quite possibly the worst genre to attempt "colourblind" writing with, which is what I theorize the writers of this show thought they were doing.

If anything, this season just highlights how the horror genre continues to fail characters of colour by showing zero respect for them outside of usage as shock value and propping up white characters.

I have way more thoughts but I might end up writing an article on Medium about all this tbh. So I'll save more for that, if I go for it.

yellowjackets i know your writer's room is mostly, if not all, white people.

mari being pit girl? okay fine. full circle moment. i have accepted and liked this theory since i saw the pilot.

but season 3? is such a fucking shit storm that reinforces everything non-white fans have been saying for such a long time. treating non-white characters as disposable and sidelining these characters for white ones.

and also. did NO ONE think it would be weird if shauna was the antler queen and then the hair she's collected is mari's? is that not WEIRD when you consider the VERY LONG history of white people using the parts of non-white people as war trophies, as decorations, as literal objects?

i stopped watching when i heard lottie died because i'm just fed up with the way the non-white people are treated in this show. treated as plotlines, as disposable, as trophies. never as people. doesn't even get into how this bleeds into fandom discourse. and yellowjackets has always been racist, but s3 really is just mask off about it. and i feel like we should sit down and actually talk about it.

rest in peace sweet girl

truly i am so devastated by mari’s death im so so fucking sad but she had one of the most iconic tv deaths of all time. years and years theory upon theory waiting to see who pit girl would be and how it unfolded. a linchpin moment for the show. you’ll forever be famous bb!!
