confession: when i was in high school my best friend used to steal a ton of clothes from the busted-ass target in town and then walk across the street and sell them at plato’s closet and she called it her job. i’d be like “where are you?” and she’d be like “at work” and i’d know she was just robbing a target blind lmao

someone on my personal dash tagged this post as lottien.at and it literally is killing me

like, that literally is lottie. except she has no fucking idea

[desolate]

i'm going through and trying to make sure i'm following the right blogs ON the right blogs, since i'm moving around so much at the moment --- if i incorrectly assume you'd want to interact here, just tell me! there will be zero hard feelings, ever.

[natscattorccio]

I just have a bad feeling about this place.

@desolate, lottie.

van's wet eyes have blurred the art on tai's wall. figures dissolving. when she wills herself to look back, she's refocusing on the definitions of lottie's face.

(who came to who first?)

voice crackling with a low, tired warmth, she seeds an invitation because she won't just leave her alone: "c'mon, i gotta get some fucking air."

[desolate]

silently, lottie rises. she tries to be unobtrusive --- she cooks, she cleans, she pretends not to notice things --- but she's directionless, unmoored. as content as she is with her own company, she's grateful for the scraps of community --- of family --- that she's thrown, and van... she suspects that van might actually be glad she's here.

so, she follows her out into the evening: that was never a question. they settle onto taissa's porch, and lottie tries --- truly, she tries --- to mind her own business, to let van come to her. it seems as if she's had a few false starts, though. like the circumstance might call for a shove in the right direction.

"whenever you're ready."

Lottie as an Indigenous woman, living in community, connected to the land, free from the settler medical industrial complex and control of her body, saying she would be unwell if she went back to the suburbs of New Jersey and then being called crazy for it can be something so personal and layered actually. She knows deep down in her bones that stolen land is not her home, that a society that poisons the Earth is one of insanity and sickness yet it pretends to be otherwise. She absolutely is sick and needs help in the wilderness but can a capitalist settler society really heal her? does she not have valid reasons to fear what happens to mentally ill Indigenous people in America? Was she not proven right to be afraid ? Lottie said Land Back and I for one stand with her

Been thinking about this. Lottie is not some woowoo Goop sorceress, or at least that's a weird and uninteresting way to portray her. The show doesn't attempt to engage with race, but they still ended up creating a biracial indigenous character caught between opposing cultural perspectives.

Simone Kessell wants us to know Lottie is Māori, and she slipped in enough hints to tell us that Lottie didn't grow up totally disconnected from her heritage.

There's also the suggestion of a cultural clash between her parents in how they interpret what's going on with her, with her mom being willing to consider a supernatural explanation. They divorced, probably as a result of their differing views, and Lottie lived with her mom and was presumably more influenced by her than her rich white businessman daddy.

I don't expect the show will do anything with it, but it'd be nice to see the fandom consider her character from this perspective more often.

Persephone, like her mum, loved nature. One day she was walking in a beautiful meadow and gathering flowers to take home when a huge hole opened up in the ground. Hades – the God of the Underworld – arrived through the hole and captured Persephone. He wanted the lovely Persephone to be his wife. […] Meanwhile, Hades wanted to make it more difficult for Persephone to leave the Underworld, and gave her some delicious Underworld food – a fruit called a pomegranate. Zeus visited Hades to ask him to let Persephone leave. Hades said, "Persephone can only leave if she hasn’t eaten any of the food that I’ve given her." But she already had. Persephone had eaten six pomegranate seeds.

3.03, “Them’s The Brakes”

[desolate]

lottie is a peacekeeper at heart, and i believe wholeheartedly that that's what fuels her delusions of the wilderness, as counterintuitive as that might sound. i have a lot to say about that in general, but what's stuck in my mind after tori and i finished [re]-watching yesterday is this: so much of what she does in the last few episodes of s3 is just to protect the group from shauna. even --- especially --- positing that she lead them. she sees that she's an inch from attacking nat the same way she did her, except now 1. she would have a small mob helping and 2. the reasonable assumption is that nat would probably die (for doing what she --- and most of them --- understood was the right thing).

lottie correctly sees that what's truly fueling shauna's rage against nat isn't that she believes ben is their 'bridge home', or that she gives a shit about justice: it's just that she's jealous, and she'll grab any excuse to take it out on her. lottie knows that the instant she suggests the 'obvious solution' is that shauna leads them instead, she'll drop what she's doing and put on a new mask, and that's exactly what happens. the significance of the hunt, too, is that it seems merciful to her. like, to her thinking, that's giving them all a fair shake. it's... not, obviously. it's all artifice. but she's not really capable of thinking that through. possibly none of them are: like, they never discuss that 'hunt' implies you actually could get away. that you're allowed to. if you're hunting, and you lose track of your prey, you go after something else. i don't think for a second that if they were outsmarted and the target came home afterward, they'd be like, "fair play! time to draw again!" --- they'd kill her on sight. at this point in the story, too, i don't even think a situation like nat and javi would save her, because for a lot of them, it's just not about food anymore. it's about dominance.

anyway, yeah, lottie believes most of what she says, but she's smart, too: she's excellent at keeping inventory of where people are and what they're likely to do. for the most part, she doesn't want any of what she sets in motion --- it's certainly not fun for her --- but the wilderness delusion grants her a specific detachment that allows her to be ruthless when necessary, and that's the real reason they need her out there. like, there's no ego in the game for lottie. she doesn't care about most of what the others care about. she's not trying to 'win'. she's not trying to prove anything to anybody. she just wants things to be more tolerable.

i can't believe they waited three seasons to give mari a surname only for it to be [phonetically] identical to simone's. and the writers probably did not even notice. but now i have to think about it for the rest of my life.

[shautiee]

Who do you think Lottie trusts the most of all of the surviving, Yellowjackets? Aw, I think, without a doubt, Van. You know, I think that connection with Van, because when she's in the Sharing Shack at the end of [Episode] 8 and she's just like, ‘All of you have done horrendous things. You've had a lover and you almost killed your wife,’ to Taissa and, ‘Misty, you did actually kill somebody, and Natalie, you tried to kill yourself,’ and Van, the only thing with Van is she says 'this light has gone off in you,' and she knows something's wrong and she can sense that and see that, and Van’s sort of put on the spot. But that's a connection, you know? I mean, if you were with a friend and they're like, ‘What's up? Something's up. What's going on?’ — Simone Kessell via Collider
