about me!

hi i’m mia, i’m irish and a lesbian. i go by she/her. i enjoy yapping about my fav things, writing (sometimes) and love drawing! feel free to message me about anything on my blog!

yellowjackets :P

this show takes up most of my brain. i’m obsessed with shauna. jackieshauna is my favourite ship, i also dip my toes into other shauna pairs too (i read an amazing shat fic and i find butcherqueen really interesting). yellowjackets has such amazing and complex characters, and is gay and woke in nature, so yeah it was made for me.

right now my blog is mostly about yellowjackets but i’m into other stuff too. if you’re into fanfic my fav one for yj is ‘was it the boogeyman?’ by britishngay on ao3. on that note, if you need fic recommendations my ao3 is also onlineoutside. pretty much all my bookmarks are public lol. you can message me too of course.

TV shows/movies

yellowjackets is my fav ofc but i also like the walking dead (fav is daryl), paper girls (kj), house of the dragon (rhaenyra), the pitt (santos my goat), and arcane (vi). i’m rewatching she-ra right now and i’ve realised it’s my comfort show 😢. my fav is catra and if you think catradora are siblings DNI.

I also have a deep love for lesbian films so hmu with any recommendations you have. My favourites are love lies bleeding, but I'm a cheerleader, and portrait of a lady on fire.

video games

i’m really into death stranding, red dead redemption, ghost of yōtei, the walking dead game, the last of us, life is strange, tomb raider, and lost records bloom and rage!

music

music-wise i guess i’ll do a dump of all the artists i like but my fav band is boygenius. i love all their songs but if i had to pick one it’d be cool about it, or salt in the wound.. or letter to and old poet… i can’t decide!

fav artists right now are big thief/adrianne lenker, ethel cain, bikini kill, clairo, mitski, MUNA, and lcd soundsystem, plus all of boygenius' solo stuff.

youtubers

i LOVE turtlewithhat they are my everything. plus jenn mcallister. those are my top 2 for sure. i also watch a lot of smosh, random commentary channels, and tasting history!

thanks for reading!

eating disorders and abortions are two things that are like, spoken about in most mainstream discourse as though they are pretty rare and aberrant, but then when you’re actually friends with a lot of women you come to find out that they are extremely extremely common and kind of banal & mundane

spot the difference (difficulty : extreme ‼️)

extremely cool that the director of jennifer’s body karyn kusama also directed some episodes of yj!

The Walking Dead & Red Dead Redemption II

[cowpokefromsaturn]

Omg I love both 😭

i’m really interested to see the family dynamics of all the survivors once they return home and how their trauma affects their relationships.

we know the tiniest little itsy bits about all their home lives and we sort of assume that they are all only children. i think the only characters we know have siblings are all dead sadly.

we saw that lot gets sent to a mental hospital, but what happened before then to make her own parents send her away? we know she loved a lonely life pre-crash so i wouldn’t be surprised if she isn’t close with them.

we know nat gets arrested but under what circumstances? how is her relationship with travis? her mother? she was desperate to get home but now she has lost her purpose.

speaking of travis… both his dad and little brother passed what will his moms reaction be? wow it could be so interesting!

tai! how does she mange college and being an alleged ladies woman? her determination and, i guess repression, has always intrigued me. does she have siblings? what are her parents like?? she (if it wasn’t Other Tai) didn’t want to be rescued in the first place partially because of homophobia, could her family also play a part in that?

van’s mom! what will her reaction be? what does van do with her life now? we hardly know anything. i’d LOVE a queer side plot where she really emerces herself in lesbian bars and stuff but that’s just me being self indulgent. there could be a very interesting plot with her and her mom too. how does van cope?

misty will probably be the least changed, she will preen under the attention. what are HER parents like???? she does give total only child energy and her house is HUGE. caligula?

shauna! oh my god that girl has CHANGED. she is relatively good at putting on a ‘normal’ appearance in the adult tl, when does she get this skill? she is tremendously standoffish and aggressive the last time we saw her. what is her mom actually like? will there be any mention of her dad? she has an attic room which could mean she already felt detached from her family. does she have siblings? i think it would make sense either way. she didn’t want to go home at all. jackie will be everywhere. when does she marry jeff?

JACKIESHAUNA CRUMBSSSS

[onlineoutside]

jackieshauna GOLDMINE!

i love all the pics especially the halloween one. the concept of shauna being the cat to jackie’s witch... the pictures of them as kids hurts so good. jackieshauna together in the SNOW! as KIDS!

i do wonder about the random church pic too maybe it was from shauna’s catholic era idk. as we know set designers put things in for a reason.. i wonder what we’ll see of stuff like this in s3. shauna being reminded of jackie everywhere, even her own house.

people love to argue over what the best way to find niche music is… it’s fanfic titles.

this manga is so good

whoever decided to put shauna in flannel deserves a raise oh my god she’s so fine

[redstonedust]

i think people really under sell the physical side effects of mental health disorders sometimes. like sure the depression and anxiety may be 'just in your head' but when what's in your head happens to disrupts your sleep schedule and prevent you from going outside regularly and eating consistent meals and exercising and generally taking care of your body. well it sure takes its toll huh.

I need SOME of the Shauna haters and fans on tiktok to understand a few things:

Explain≠ excuse

Bad person≠ not complex

Shauna fan≠ Shauna apologist≠ Shauna defender

shauna's music taste!

While reading the pilot's script I noticed that specific artists were named as potential music options for Shauna to listen to, this ended up intriguing me and I decided to do a deep-ish dive! So, from the script we can tell that Shauna listens to Velocity Girl, Belly, and Liz Phair (specifically her songs 'Fuck and Run' in the script and then 'Supernova' in the final pilot). Along with being "angst-adjacent", these artists also exemplify the wave of indie pop/rock music made by women in the 90s.

I then decided to look at images of Shauna's room, and i was able to find two photos that featured musicians. on the left there's a bts photo where you can see two posters on either side of the window, one of which is Kurt Cobain (making Shauna a Nirvana fan) and the other is Blind Melon's self titled album. Both of these artists were apart of the grunge music scene, which prominently featured topics like social alienation and a desire for freedom (makes sense why Shauna would listen to them). After that I took a screenshot from the pilot where you can vaguely make out the images of Weezer's blue album and The Cranberries' "Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?" record. both of these artists + Nirvana and Blind Melon are pretty standard for the general alt rock scene at the time (with the slightly nicher inclusion of Blind Melon).

As a little bonus the song that plays when Jackie and Shauna are getting ready for the party is "What If..." by Dore Soul. However, from what I can tell the song was released in 2020, so i wouldn't count it as canon (its grungy sound does fit in with what Shauna is shown to listen to though).

Overall, I would describe Shauna's music taste as grunge adjacent, with an affinity for female singer-songwriters like Liz Phair. Other artists I think she would listen to based on this are: The Breeders, Hole, Porno for Pyros, TLC (specifically Crazysexycool era), and Stone Temple Pilots.

I learned a lot today from Obviously Queer’s video essay “FEMME: Lesbian History, Identity, Politics and Invisibility” and femmebis’ “The “Lesbian-Only Term” Myth: A Comprehensive Historical Essay on ‘Butch’ and ‘Femme’ ”.

yuri comic recommendations

i used to be so obsessed with yuri to the point i had read pretty much every comic i could get my hands on online. i re-read/completed some of my favourites recently and now i'm in deep.

I love stories where it feels like they're actually queer (and written by queer women) if you know what I mean, not just girls in high school trying stuff out because those plots can get repetitive. So these recommendations may follow that theme.

Here's some recommendations from a self-proclaimed yuri expert:

'How Do We Relationship?' by Tamifull (complete) Is my ALL TIME FAVOURITE! It is written so realistically, it's painfully relatable :'<. It follows two college students' relationship over the years, the drama is insane, the emotions are high, the yearning is there. The characters are so good, I love how much detail the author puts into everything about this comic. It does get dark, as discussed in this reddit thread. It also has sexual themes. It made me cry multiple times. It's reportedly written by a lesbian woman also! I'm dying to have this full series physically.

Anything from the author Yeongol/ Lifeissalmon on twitter. My favourite right now is 'Happiness Rides a Broomstick' (not yet completed, but it has 2 seasons). The main couple is a college girl and a dokkaebi which I understand to be a kind of mythological spirit. The dokkaebi can transform into a broomstick LOL. That's all you should need honestly. But seriously their chemistry is so good and you will become addicted to the story. I also love Ring My Bell and Meeting My Ex-Girlfriend which are both completed. Their stories pretty much all contain sexual themes.

This author is one of my favourites because you can tell they work really hard on the plot, characters, and comedy. I also love their art style! They have long stories which are completed, check them out!

Love Bullet by Inee (not yet completed, has 3 volumes) is one I picked up recently, it doesn't focus on a main lesbian couple, but there are lesbian couples in it. (lifeissalmon did their afterword so it probably will get lezzie) Basically the main character dies and becomes a cupid who must match couples in order to return to being human. The thing is, cupids don't use bows anymore, they use guns. Classic cute anime girls with military equipment! The premise is so unique, the characters are well written, and the artstyle is super cute! I also heard that the author may not get greenlit for volume 4 so if you like it consider buying the physical copy.

These are my top 3 at the moment. Also, if you can't find these online, when in doubt search the author's name. I hoped this helped, enjoy!
