Yellowjackets Season 1 - Tumblr Posts
Every time I see someone hate on Van I'd like to cry. No one understands her like I do. She's just a silly little guy. My goofy little ginger lesbian. Let her be unhinged. As a treat.
I feel like Misty is the only Yellowjacket I can't defend. Number one, I don't love her character. She's just not someone I'd like to be around irl and the secondhand embarrassment I get from her is insane. But secondly, she's the only person in season one who intentionally hurt people. Both physically, and mentally. From the beginning she was out to do whatever helped her most. The other girls don't get that way until later, until they're desperate and hungry and so, so scared. Misty, though, from day one, was willing to do anything she could to get to the top. Not to say that I don't find her character interesting and I know she's important. It's just that I feel like I can't defend any of her actions. I don't like coach or Travis either, but I can still find a way to defend either of them. It's really just Misty.
When I made a TikTok about this it totally flopped so I'm posting here as well. Anyways, I think Shauna is comparable to Eve from the Bible. Jackie, of course, being the forbidden fruit. The one thing in the garden Eve couldn't have. Shauna wanted to be Jackie so badly, she ate her to know what it was like. Not to mention the symbolism in the feast scenes. Shauna being the first to eat? And one of her fruits being a pomegranate, which in some tellings is used instead of an apple? Come on. Ben, of course, in this scenario, is God. There's also the potential of Shauna being Judas, and Jackie being Jesus. The betrayal, the inability to live without each other. And there's the Christian faith tradition of "consuming the body and blood of Christ". It's very comparable to the last supper. The religious imagery in this show is absolutely wild and if it continues on this path I'd honestly love to see which girl represents which disciple. I have a few ideas already but I need to do some research first.
I love Shauna's need for control. It's something that makes her so inherently relatable. But what's even better is that she knows she's not always in control. That she can't be. It's so raw and apparent throughout the entire show. Not telling Jackie about Brown. Control. Yet she wore the red dress. Out of control. Making Jackie sleep outside. Control. Jackie died. Out of control.
She's gripping onto this need for control. She's doesn't want to lose her mind. But she is anyway.
Yes!! Yes this!! Pit girl was there so the pilot would be more interesting to pitch!!
hey yall do yall personally think mari is pit girl
honestly I don't think it really matters that much 🤔. think it was more like getting your attention then meant to speculate anything tbh. my money's on mari or gen. they're the only ones the hair could belong to that doesn't live i think. it's been a while since I've seen the clip though 🤷.
Me but I thought Nat was down bad for Lottie. And then Travis is there and I go 🤨
watching yellowjackets with my only knowledge being there was lesbians was crazy i was like oh okay so shauna is gay and shes in love with jackie got it got it and then she started kissing jeff and i fully gasped like
I LOVE TAIVAN
Both incredible, complex characters who deserve more love. I really do like couples like lottienat and Jackieshauna who have undeniable chemistry, but I think Taivan needs more attention.
just want to give a shoutout to taivan for being one of the most incredible canon wlw couples to ever exist on tv<3
i wish that i'd had them growing up back when i was a baby sapphic as they're such beautiful lesbian representation with incredible chemistry, complex themes within their relationship, which isn't always perfect but it's so real and raw and their love is truly infectious. even their arguments are magnetic to watch and wow i am just so in love with the both of them their onscreen relationship gives me butterflies fr
i know i mostly post about lottienat and jackieshauna as does most of the yj fandom but i wanted to make a point to show my appreciation for taivan bc they're so fucking underrated
I love having a friend named Jackie because I get to make Yellowjackets references all the time because of her.
If Laura Lee is a symbol for religion and Jackie is a symbol of normalcy and Javi is a symbol of innocence... was Crystal a symbol of friendship?
And with her death does friendship start to fall apart?
Jackieshauna if you even care
100% agree. sister Michael would've probably joined Lottie after a while just for shits and gigs and I respect her for it. Ben would be left alone with Orla for about 20 seconds and jump out a window.
Sister Michael could have handled the yellowjackets but coach Ben could not handle the Derry Girls
