Put in the tags the completely finished (whether cancelled or wrapped up on its own terms) TV series that has YOUR perfect ending, however you define that

Please don’t include huge spoilers for the specifics of the endings, and it would also make me happy if people don’t use this to talk about the shows whose endings they hated

there is so little Van/Tai or Taivan content I'm so happy that you write for them!! it feels weird to see that the canon lesbians get so little attention in this fandom... and like I LOVE the other ships too, but Taivan will always hold a special place into my heart <3

This triggered something within me and I just can’t not rant about it.

I absolutely love Taivan. Taivan is the greatest TV show couple in my opinion. The only thing I’m not a fan of when it comes to their relationship is the cheating but in a show full of cannibalism I can excuse the cheating. I think that Taivan is what people claim Lottienat to be. I think Taivan is what people claim butcherqueen to be. Taivan tops every other ship in Yellowjackets and I know for a fact that I would still ship them even if they weren’t canon.

Come on, Tai literally ate Van’s heart. That is so twisted and so gothic. Tai was going to kill someone so that Van could beat her cancer. Tai joined a cult TWICE for Van. Taissa Turner is my favourite character in the whole wild world and Taivan is the greatest ship ever.

The only reason that people disregard Taivan is because of racism and that’s a hill I’ll die on. They want fucked up toxic relationships with cannibalistic themes until they have it. Taissa Turner and Marren Yearly match each other’s cannibalistic freak.

Van Palmer in the adult timeline has me questioning the complexities of the relationship I have with my mother. Adult timeline Taissa Turner has me wanting to get into politics so I can run for senator in New Jersey and have her shout at me on a debate stage.

Sexy people need to date sexy people and it's so amazing that they're both more than just their sexiness. They're beautiful, they're smart, they're a little fucked up but they're still awesome.

I love Taivan is my whole point despite the fact this rant got away from me. I love Taivan and people who don’t are losers.

Also, I do love the other ships but none of them are on the same level as Taivan. I fuck heavy with Jackie and Nat and also with butcherqueen --- JackieShauna fills the teenage rhaenicent gap that was left in my heart after Alicent married Viserys (in house of the dragon) but none of these ships will ever reach the incredibly high standards that Taivan created for me.

She played bass on 10,000 songs, including the most-played track of the twentieth century. She was paid $55 per session. Her name never appeared on the albums.

Gold Star Studios, Los Angeles, 1964. A woman in a cardigan walks past the receptionist, a Fender Precision bass in her hand like a briefcase. She doesn’t sign autographs. She signs a timesheet.

Her name is Carol Kaye. In three hours, she will record what will become the most-played track of the twentieth century. She’ll pocket fifty-five dollars and head to another studio, on the other side of town, for the next session.

The record label will never put her name on the album.

Between 1957 and 1973, Carol Kaye took part in roughly 10,000 recording sessions. Not as the featured artist, not as a guest, but as a hired hand. She was part of an anonymous collective nicknamed The Wrecking Crew—elite studio musicians who actually played the instruments on your favorite records while the famous bands posed for promotional photos.

The work was relentless. Three albums before the day was over. Stale coffee in paper cups. No rehearsal. The charts arrived minutes before the tape rolled. If you couldn’t read a chart and nail the take in two tries, you didn’t get called for the next session.

Carol could do it on the first try.

She started playing guitar in grimy bars at fourteen because her family couldn’t pay the electric bill. Music wasn’t a romantic dream for her. It was survival. It was a job—factory work with better acoustics and lower pay.

But she was faster and sharper than almost everyone else. She corrected charts in pencil while the producer was still explaining what he wanted. In one session in 1968, she told a famous producer his arrangement sounded like a dying dog. She chose her own line. They kept her version.

That descending bass line that drives the Beach Boys’ “Wouldn’t It Be Nice”? Carol Kaye. The propulsive groove of “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’”? Carol Kaye. The acoustic-guitar intro to “La Bamba”? Carol Kaye. The iconic theme from Mission: Impossible? Carol Kaye.

She invented techniques on the spot, out of sheer necessity. When the bass sound was too muddy for AM radio, she stuck felt under the strings and used a hard pick instead of her fingers. The tone cut through the static like a blade. It became the sonic signature that defined 1960s pop.

Bassists spent years—decades—trying to crack the secret of the Beach Boys’ gear to get that sound. They were studying the wrong people. They should have been studying Carol.

She received no royalties. No residuals. No gold-record ceremony. No credit on the album sleeves. When “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’” hit number one, Carol was already back in a studio cutting a soap jingle.

The biggest bands mimed her bass lines on TV variety shows. New York marketing departments decided a mom in classic clothes didn’t fit the rebellious-youth image they were selling. So they simply left her name off the album credits.

For thirty years, almost no one cared. The truth only began to surface in the late 1990s, when music researchers found the same union contract numbers on thousands of hit records. The very documents meant to preserve studio musicians’ anonymity betrayed them.

Think about it. Every time you heard “Good Vibrations,” “River Deep – Mountain High,” the Righteous Brothers, Nancy Sinatra, or Sonny and Cher, you were hearing Carol Kaye. She composed the soundtrack of an entire generation’s youth.

And yet the records still say nothing. She’s now over eighty. She wrote instructional books. She trained countless bassists. She is finally starting to be recognized by music historians who uncovered the truth about The Wrecking Crew.

But she never got what she deserved: her name on those albums. Credit for the music that defined an era. Recognition that those bass lines everyone associates with the “Beach Boys” were, in fact, Carol Kaye’s.

Fifty-five dollars a session. Ten thousand sessions. The most-played track of the twentieth century.

And the world didn’t know her name.

She was admitted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2025 but refused, fuck yeah, Carol. Her official website is incredible.

VAN AND NATALIE SUMMER ‘92 MOODBOARD

#yellowjackets #van palmer #natalie scatorccio #vannat #fic update #my loves #one week until I have to finish #yellowjackets moodboard

Trying to write a silly little stoner romp for Van and Nat but whenever my brain dwells too long on Natalie, I want to explore her relationship to violence.
