Whenever I see someone complaining about how the season 3 finale wasn’t as crazy as it was supposed to be, I’m reminded of a story I once heard about boiling frogs
To cook a frog, people placed live frogs into water and boiled it. If the person cooking the frog placed the frog into already boiled water, it immediately jumped out as the temperature was unbearable and it reacted forcefully on instinct. But, if you placed the frog in water that was of regular temperature and slowly turned the heat up, the frog wouldn’t even realize it had been cooking up until it was cooked.
During the first scene, we are being dumped in boiling water, with the pit girl scene, and we freak out because it’s scary and gory. The scenes are juxtaposed with normal teenage girls, making the difference between them even more pronounced.
We have no idea why this is happening, we are outside observers, and the lack of information leaves us to make our own conclusions on what happened, but as we watch the Yellowjackets make even worse decisions and grow more and more comfortable with crossing the line, the water is slowly heating under us alongside them.
That’s why it seems less crazy with the context, even though what they are doing is crazy when you sit with it and look at it from a different perspective.
Mari, Melissa, Akilah and Gen planned to murder and eat someone as an act of revenge, Tai planned to offer Hannah as sacrifice since she didn’t know her and Van agreed to mess with the cards to set her up to save themselves.
Travis and Akilah attempted to murder Lottie, who had abused and exploited them in the name of the wilderness, her new God, and Shauna is carrying around a gun and enforcing a dictatorship within the wilderness.
Even before that, they had tortured, crippled and abused their coach until he committed suicide by Nat, (which he begged her to do until she did it) and then chopped his head off and served it as a feast. Even Natalie, who is the most moral, is not all that moral when compared to people outside the Yellowjackets.
It really has more to do with understanding the context behind things, it’s a lot less scary when you know who is behind the mask and why they’re doing it. Which is why it seems disappointing when the scary monsters aren’t really scary monsters but a bunch of teenagers.
“We thought that they were going to lose themselves and go crazy!”
They have lost themselves, you just didn’t notice
You wished for this
I know her ass was constantly getting carded for fouling the other team’s offence
I’ll never get the hate against lottienat. If any other ship in this damn fandom did what lottienat did yall would say its “basically canon” i mean lottie was on nat’s plane, Lottie kissed Nat’s hands while anointing her leader, they have matching hallucinations (nat with the moose lottie with the deer), the dancing scene, Nat kissing Lottie’s cheek as adults, the actress for Lisa saying they were her moms, the “we lost Natalie, I lost my home” line, bathtub scene, Natalie instantly knowing how and why Lottie needed comfort when she was up at night in season 1, Nat being “it’s favorite” scenes before lottie admitted there wasn’t a difference between It and her, Nat expressing her first belief in the wilderness the same day Lottie expressed her first doubts in it, i mean COME ON
I’ll never fall for the they have no scenes propaganda
Side quests keep. Distracting me. From the goal…

//Spoilers ‼️ for the movie Obsession//
Nikki being the victim in this movie is literally not up for debate btw.
Bear f*cked up big time. He paid the price, sure, but not before causing a lot of damage and trauma around him. Especially to Nikki.
There are two key moments for me that clearly highlight how Bear is truly not a good guy and never was. At all.
Firstly, and most importantly, when Nikki asks him to kill her as her possessed self is sleeping and unaware of their interaction. This is Bear’s first very straightforward opportunity to fix his mess. If he truly cared about her and her wellbeing, he would take immediate action. Like kill himself. Sucks, but gotta do what you gotta do, man. But no, of course. Bear takes personal offence into the idea that she’d rather die than forcefully be with him. It’s pathetic and enraging. Let’s remind ourselves here that Bear is regularly r*ping her (and forcing other forms of intimacy on her as well), enslaving her mind and quite literally stealing her entire life from her. The notion of consent is simply nonexistent and he’s actively okay with that. Before everything spirals into total chaos, he just wants to alter his wish, not erase it fully. He still wants that control over her, whether she is happy or not. She pleads for liberation from this curse and Bear decides to victimize himself, be selfish again and then he walks away. Ruining his ultimate chance.
Secondly, the suicide scene. Here’s the thing… It’s too late at this point. He missed out on several opportunities to make things better and he kept on prioritizing his power over Nikki. It led him to a point of no return where his life is irreparably turned upside down, his two closest friends were killed (because of him) and Nikki’s possessed self represents a very real danger for him (all his fault, once again). There is only one way out of this: He needs to die. Even with this unavoidable truth, Bear manages to fail again. He swallows all the pills and a few seconds later, he cowardly tries to undo his actions. The storyline leads to him overdosing and dying regardless, but this moment is decisive to represent his true character. It still wasn’t enough, somehow, for him to end it all. Truth be, it was unfortunately too late for Nikki one way or the other. The trauma was just too massive with the murders and the self-harm. He ruined her entirely.
If you ask me, the title is about him being horrendously obsessed with her, not the other way around. His obsession led him there. He refused to take a risk and potentially get in the friendzone. This was unthinkable and impossible to accept for him.
And also, that sickening story she presents at the party… It’s not just to generate a deeply uncomfortable and eerie atmosphere, it’s not just to shock the audience with its content. It’s about them. It’s literally them. She mentioned feeling a sibling-like connection with him. Nikki is being abused and tortured by someone she considered a brother. This is a tale about his cruelty. This is her cry for help. And it breaks my heart.
Masterpiece of a movie, truly.
also all the sympathy from viewers for sarah over nikki is so weird like sure, she didn't deserve to die at all ... but imo she was an awful friend. like here's a girl you've known forever, who's told you that she's not into a man two days before she starts acting insane over him, is clearly having a mental breakdown (at the very least), and instead of checking in with her, or making sure she's okay, you try to shoot your shot with the guy she's with??? really??? not to mention her line to bear about 'how it wasn't fair for him to have to deal with her problems'. it pissed me off so much how ian and sarah were nikki's friends too and they never actually spoke to her once the wish kicked in and instead asked bear if she was doing okay or not. what sort of fucking friends are that??? every single one of her friends let her down. obviously what bear did to her was by far the worst but the others were awful to her too.
Nikki putting in her two weeks and moving away, Bear getting with Sarah, and ending up hurting her emotionally because he’s just such an unempathetic douche comparing her to Nikki in his mind. Sarah feeling bad and calling Nikki’s old number for sympathy or maybe to pick a fight to have somewhere to put the hurt. Forced to self-reflect on her life when she discovers Nikki’s number is no longer in service
Is this anything??
ah. a nuanced story that allows for imperfect victims and portrays the confusing and contradictory nature of being human – particularly in a context that explores abuse, harassment and trauma. i wonder what people on the internet make of it... oh. oh no. oh no no no no no
I love Yellowjackets nobody understands them like I do
Fix-it fic so far is turning into hurt/comfort. Was considering making the first chapter complete on its own, so people can just read it and be done if they’re just looking for an alternative ending. In future chapters Nikki is still 100% safe, but will work through the trauma she experienced slowly, and build a new life. Considering healing old friendships with Sarah and Ian, fuck Bear, though still on the rocks about that aspect. They weren’t good friends to her, but maybe they could be? Let me know what you guys think while I’m in the early stages!!
number one rule! never believe ur thoughts after 10 pm . unless its about The Character then believe all of your thoughts wholeheartedly
how it feels to be a multishipper in the yellowjackets fandom
