Whimsy

I know Max was in a coma but the fact we never see Max giving Jane advice and talking about their California experiences 🥲

my girls could’ve had one more thing to bond over but no lets’s ruin it all 💔💔 UGH

What I love most about the Yellowjackets pilot is the view it gives us of Shauna's life. In the teenage timeline, she's the pining sidekick to a beautiful, popular girl who barely notices her. In her adult life, she's stuck in a miserable marriage with a husband who doesn't care about her and a teenage daughter who is completely absorbed in her own world. And we come to find out all of this is just . . . not true. Jackie's whole life revolves around Shauna. She adores her. Jeff worships the ground she walks on. Callie is desperate for a relationship with her. Everyone in Shauna's life loves and cares about her so deeply, and she pushes them away because she can't handle it.

Shauna doesn’t see a future that’s not in the wilderness. Her best friend died out there. Her baby is buried out there. She has power now that she’s the leader, she feels free. Going back to civilization means having to lose everything and start over. Again.

real talk: can we abort the busy/bored/sick housewife/mom needs help so they hire a younger, “prettier” woman to help and the husband ends up cheating with her trope?

obviously it’s based on reality but there’s only so much you can do with that type of basic plot line before it starts to feel like… pushing some sort of misogynistic idea (imo).
