My Teen Angst Has A Body Count

i bring a real "this piece of media has incest subtext that you're ignoring" vibe to the function that nobody really likes

Every day I'm angry about how Yellowjackets squandered Simone Abara's potential. They're giving Jeff Sadecki complex characterization and Simone showed up for two seconds last season just to talk to Van. Her beloved politician wife killed their dog and put his head on a basement crawlspace altar. She was never real to Tai, she was all Tai ever wanted, she stayed for years without hearing a word of what happened in the woods, she knew about Van, she left the second she thought their son was in danger. She was married to the mask of a woman desperately pretending it was her real face. She should be the main character of twelve million complicated couple horror movies and, I repeat, she showed up for two seconds last season. Racism kills good storytelling. ENOUGH.

Don't understand why people get so annoyed at Shauna for not being able to see that Jackie loved her. It's not as simple as Shauna being dense or self-obsessed. Like doesn't that just make you sad? Doesn't your heart hurt when Shauna asks Melissa why she even likes her? Why do you think she begs Jeff to tell her he loves her, even when she knows he doesn't mean it? She has two emotionally/physically distant parents, seemingly no siblings, and a best friend who (whatever her reasons) kept Shauna at arms length emotionally. Is it any wonder Shauna thinks she is fundamentally unlovable? She self-sabotages in her relationships because she just can't ever let herself believe the other person truly cares as much about her as she does them.

tumblr friendships can be the purest form of friendship bc it's like. hey i like you based on your shitty vibe and concerning ventposts and that weird sex thing we're both into. raw dogging friendship

Other people's emotions are deep and complex and beautiful but mine are proof that there is rot at the core of my being

God am I the only one who’s so fucking disappointed right now ? I haven’t been that disappointed in a show for a while damn. I think it’s because Yellowjackets genuinely felt like something daring and new, a breath of fresh air among the other shows. I mean the premise of teenage girls losing a part of their humanity partaking in rituals, hunting and eating each other for sport was a never done before I feel like. I think I wasn’t the only one that found exciting for girls for once to get to get down and dirty. To see that descend into madness. And what the finale has done feels like such a cop out I find it so BORING! I feel like it completely rewrites the show. It kills what was so interesting about it to me. My thoughts are all over the place right now ughhh I also feel like they ruined Shauna character…like all their wrong doings are on her, making her a dictator portrays her as so one faceted. Natalie and Travis didn’t talk at all this season!! So many dynamics thrown out the window…and pit girl scene… what a let down. It feels like the show spit on me and called me a freak for liking what I thought it would be lmao. My bad i guess. But please I can’t be the only one who feels disappointed.

I’ve seen a lot of people say they are disappointed because the girls didn’t actually go feral and crazy out there because of how pit girl played out but like did you not watch the show? They ostracised Jackie and made her sleep outside which lead to her death, most of them tried to sexually assault and kill Travis, They got really into the first hunt and likely would have killed Nat if they caught her, They stood and watched Javi, a 12 year old kid drown when he was screaming for help so they could eat him, they still took part in hunts, they essentially tortured a disabled man and forced him to stay alive in the most inhumane conditions,even though most of them didn’t think he was guilty, they chose to take part in ritualistic cannibal feasts when it wasn’t necessary and the only thing that stopped them from spiralling into group psychosis during the second winter was that they had a real chance at rescue that grounded most of them back in reality. It’s like Shauna wrote in her journal “we all lost our fucking minds” she wasn’t wrong, things were just more nuanced because not everyone had a role in the active violence but everyone was complicit.

I just worry the show are taking it in a direction where the audience can ignore or outright forget all that and place all the blame on Shauna because she’s the only one that outright enjoyed what they were doing even if the others did it nonetheless.

being forced to watch Shauna’s character be interpreted as (and I fear, boiled down into) a one-dimensional abuser who always hated her life and has always been a deeply paranoid person who is unredeemable is just honestly like the worst torture they could have designed for me this season
