And if I said I didn't care about coach scott.

And what if I said I genuinely believe in the “Laura Lee is the bear” theory? Haha what then??

“Please ask me anything Yellowjackets related”

Oh, you may regret that, as a hyperfixated fan who desperately needs someone to yap with:

Hi! I’m lin, I like Yellowjackets a lot, and your post popped up on my dash so now im here!! Feel free to answer all of these or none of these, no pressure to respond:

1) who r ur favorite teen timeline characters? adult timeline characters?

2) opinions on Shauna. because, well. it’s Shauna.

3) opinions on LottieNat vs MistyNat vs TravNat— I’ve seen an equal amount of each and im curious lmao

4) opinion on transfem / nonbinary Travis? Popular headcanon I’ve seen and I love the thought of ‘the shrooms made him gay’

5) what’s a story / plot line that you wish they did more with?

6) favorite / least favorite character death ?

Again you don’t have to answer any of these but I’m a chronic yapper and the hyperfixation is hyperfixating and in my defense, you said to ask.

sorry for rambling, but not enough to not send this. Hope you’re having a great day, random person

Linnn thank you for your questions and don’t apologize for rambling! We’re in the same funky hyperfixation boat, so you can imagine how thrilled I was to wake up to so many questions in my inbox!!

Let’s get into it :p

1. Fav characters (teen/adult timeline)

For the teen timeline, I’ve said it before: it’s Lottie. Always my perfect angel, my complex girl with a tiny disorder, my cutesy axe murderer. On a serious note, I love her character on so many levels, and Courtney is so incredibly talented. My love for her only grew in S3—oh dear…

Also, a close favorite is definitely Mari (what a shame).

Now for the adult timeline… that’s a little tricky. My gut instinct is to go with Misty, because let’s be real, she’s carrying the story, both with her comedy and her genius. My girl is singlehandedly moving the plot forward … Her development is amazing to watch 2.

However, I really really enjoyed adult Taissa in season 1, back when she still had the politician/divorce era going on. And I could never forget Van. She adds so much to the adult timeline. I think making her a survivor is one of the best things the writers ever did tbh. While I do have some criticisms about her storyline, I’m actually in love with Lauren, so I won’t say any more.

2. Opinion on Shauna

I meaaaan. Oh man. I really can’t defend her anymore… but I still love her. Could never hate her. At this point she could kill all the girls in cold blood and I’d be like…. Remember when she literally looked at us and asked why we couldn’t hear her baby cry? Yeah, that’ll do it for me every time.

She’s traumatized, probably deep in PPD that maybe never left. She really gets on my nerves in the adult timeline specifically, but hey. Could never forget what happened to her. She’s also super interesting from a character standpoint!

3. LottieNat vs MistyNat vs TravNat

Oh Natalie, my lovable, shippable baby.

I’ll be quick with this:

LottieNat – Surprisingly, I’m not really into it. Maybe in the adult timeline, but meh. (sorry majority of the fandom)

MistyNat – Good, good soup. Adult timeline, season 1, really confirmed this for me. So much potential.

TravNat – Yes. Their relationship makes me cry. Teen timeline has so much angst for them, which I eat up. They truly deserve each other.

4. Transfem/nb Travis

“The shrooms made him gay” I’m crying.

I mean, hey.. everyone can headcanon what they want. I don’t really see it, simply because I think his masculinity was such a big part of his plotline.

However, he is a pretty princess, so please go ahead.

5. Storyline/plot point I wish was explored more

Pff, sadly there are a lot, and S3 just made it worse. But I’m gonna go with my favorite and I think the fandom agrees:

Taissa’s entire storyline.

I’ve been rewatching with my sister, and it hit me again how amazing her setup was in season 1. She was truly my favorite to watch. She had all these things going for her: the senator plot, sleepwalking, creepy sacrifices, divorce era, and Sammy. They really set it all up and then… well, they just made her revolve around Van.

I was happy to see she was still leaning into the “sacrifice for Van” thing in season 3, but mhhhhh Other Tai was handled so poorly. That scene where she talks to Other Tai? It was so corny when it could’ve been so interesting 😭

6. Favorite/least favorite death

Okay. Least favorite, this one’s widely agreed on, Lottie and Nat.

The adult timeline deaths were really, really weak. Both characters had so much more to offer, and it was a huge mistake to write off these insanely talented actresses.

Natalie’s death felt so meaningless. like, an accident?? A fucking overdose?? That’s actually sick.

And Lottie… it felt like they only killed her off so the other adults had something to do. The reactions were lacking, and while Callie being her murderer was a good idea, the scene should’ve been way longer. At least Lottie seemed at peace in the end. My poor Angel.

Now maybe this contradicts everything I’ve ever said, but my favorite death as of late is Van’s. Not because I wanted her to die, obviously, but because the scene was so aesthetically perfect and just… ugh.. it fit.

Yes, Van would get stabbed and bleed out slowly on the floor after saving the love of her life and a friend, because she couldn’t kill Melissa while Radiohead plays.

Of course Van would survive the plane crash, fire, wolves, possibly cancer—and die because she’s too kind.

I’ve been meaning to talk about her plane scene too!! So much to analyze..

(Yellowjackets, release the monologue before Tai eats her heart, omg.)

Okay, that’s it! I took my time with this and had so much fun answering the questions!!!

Could talk about Yellowjackets for hours—but hey, didn’t wanna annoy anyone reading all this and tried to stay on topic lmao.

Feel free to add your own thoughts. Thanks again, Lin <3

So I’m rewatching Yellowjackets with my sister this time around and one of her favorite characters is (understandably) Van. Naturally when we got to season 2 today I was excited for it to be revealed, that Van is a survivor.

Silly me, there was no reveal. Lauren was literally in the intro. In the first episode. Sister clocked it immediately.

i just think that if they were gonna make shauna and lottie the only crazy ones, they should have at least let them fuck about it

[puppybutcher]

they're serving married

[angelmarymae]

There is something to be said about the role of sex in Yellowjackets especially in season 1 and I WILL say it once I got it figured out….

[angelmarymae]

[menasimagination]

am I the only one who thinks that not everything Shauna does is abt Jackie

[angelmarymae]

Favorite yj paring? Romantic or as friends.

Thank you lots for the question!

For me, one of the best things about the show is the fact that there are so, so many interesting character dynamics to explore. I must say I eat everything up, all the background interactions and the parallels between pairings.

A favorite pairing romantically (tbh the lines kinda blur either way) would be Lottie and Shauna. Not because I think they would work out or anything but because their relationship is very unique. I think they enable each other to do the worst which is a favorite trope of mine lol (especially in yj). Still they actually care about each other and the development of their relationship is very very well written. Also umm a queen and her prophet yea that’s it.

Honorable mentions for the romantic category: obviously taivan because damn if my love isn’t like theirs I don’t even want it!

And I guess I’ll shamefully reveal myself as a travnat supporter. Lesbians pls don’t hurt me!!

For a platonic friendship I have a clear favorite and it’s Shauna and Taissa. Especially in the first season they have such a strong bond, build on genuine trust. Taissa always wants the best for Shauna, who I would almost say has a soft spot for her too later on. They are both smart and more rational than the group. Many great moments. I cry every time I think of the “failed abortion” scene in season 1 oh God.

Something about Lottie shaping the groups spiritual structure, something about Lottie introducing ideas like praying before eating, something about Lottie leading the group during doom-coming, something about Lottie being brought the bears heart, something about Lottie being beaten half to death and Taissa saying „it can’t be her“, something about Lottie never participating in a hunt, something about Lottie making Akilah‘s vision come true, something about Lottie initiating both hunts, something about Lottie being the first to say she will stay, something about Lottie being a true leader.
