okay, so I’m rewatching season one because you mentioned their interactions there in the last ask I sent. I finished the first two episodes, I completely forgot that taissa and shauna are the first two that we see interact in the adult timeline! Like shauna has been saving her contact info all those years and she’s the first person she thinks to call, and when she held her hand at the diner! There’s also the parallel of them being the only ones to get married and have a kid. They try to be normal in that specific way. I promise this is the last rant im sending you, sorry if this is annoying

!!!!

Yay I’m so happy me talking about them made you want to rewatch! s1 really is peak for them in both timelines. But yess everything about them in the adult timeline makes me feel insane <3 shauna like bored and doing laundry and seeing tai on her tv and the EMOTIONS on her face and then going to her safe and using a burner phone to call taissa to meet up !! Saw someone say in s1 they act like they’ve been having an affair for 20 years and that’s SO true oh my god.

Also their hands at the diner!!!!! Yesss both melanie lynskey and sophie nélisse have talked about that scene and i NEED to know what the script said. When shauna sees taissa on the tv, the script says she feels a mix of emotions including LONGING and that’s been making me insane ever since i read that

Several people have said it sooo much better than me but taissa being so involved in shauna’s pregnancy from the moment she finds out and then being by her side the entire birth and for days after </3 and then like you said them both being the only 2 Yellowjackets to have kids and both of them struggling to connect with their kids. It’s really like that loss broke them both in similar ways and it’s just so !!!!

I love that we get that in the adult timeline and then the teen timeline starts off like idk they ARE on the same page about the allie situation and they agree to keep their first secret from jackie. And shauna seems to regret it when taissa is playing rough at practice but idk. Thinking about a gifset i saw recently of shauna telling taissa at the party it can’t be easy knowing she crippled someone today — to last episode when shauna was in charge of further crippling coach ben.

I think it’s goes along with what melissa was saying about shauna not being scared about the bad parts of herself anymore. She DID agree with taissa about the allie situation, but she couldn’t own up to it. It Scared her. What taissa did scared her (i think it scared taissa for different reasons) i think shauna was just scared of herself and she was projecting that onto taissa during the fight at the party in the pilot episode.

But them consistently being on the same page and then shauna being afraid of that in early s1 fascinates me. Shauna agrees with Tai about going to the lake but then snaps at tai when she thanks her for having her back and it’s like shauna is just being mean because she’s afraid of herself. She didn’t go along with what jackie wanted both times that she agreed with tai. So she takes it out on taissa when it backfires both times (allie’s leg gets broken and jackie is pissed at her after the lake vote)

I just think they’re really very similar in a lot of ways and shauna initially is scared of that. But the bond they form, that intimacy and trust they place in each other is just !!!!!

I could go on but this is so long already lmao

Thanks for the ask !! It’s not annoying at ALL. Send me as many rants about them as you want <3 i love any excuse to talk about them for real
