i don’t think eating jackie was as much of a bad thing to do as most people make it out to be. obviously cannibalism is wrong in a regular day to day context, however, when you’re with you high school soccer team in the middle of winter in the canadian wilderness, your coach is missing a limb and depressed, you’re running out of your only food source that your schizophrenic teammate killed in the weirdest way possible; is eating a person, who is already dead, truly that unethical? i also don’t think that eating jackie was when the yellowjackets started becoming objectively bad people (it was watching javi die).

maybe this a hot take but i’ve seen a surprising amount of people act like eating jackie was the most deranged thing they could’ve done.

Volverán las oscuras golondrinas en tu balcón sus nidos a colgar, y, otra vez, con el ala a sus cristales jugando llamarán; pero aquéllas que el vuelo refrenaban tu hermosura y mi dicha al contemplar, aquéllas que aprendieron nuestros nombres... ésas... ¡no volverán!

Volverán las tupidas madreselvas de tu jardín las tapias a escalar, y otra vez a la tarde, aun más hermosas, sus flores se abrirán; pero aquellas, cuajadas de rocío, cuyas gotas mirábamos temblar y caer, como lágrimas del día... ésas... ¡no volverán!

Volverán del amor en tus oídos las palabras ardientes a sonar; tu corazón, de su profundo sueño tal vez despertará; pero mudo y absorto y de rodillas, como se adora a Dios ante su altar, como yo te he querido..., desengáñate: ¡así no te querrán!

i’m going through a phase of old b&w movies and god this one was so fun. there’s something about the camera quality of old movies that make everything so dreamy and romantic and not just in b&w, for example, in gone with the wind (1939), though i despise it, the technicolor of it all plus the grainy look it has makes me hate it less. you can also see it in movies all throughout the 20th century and early 2000s.
