"you were always it's favorite" the wilderness sent wolves after tai's group when they tried to hike out, but it let nat climb to the cliff tops and call for help
"you were always it's favorite" the wilderness blew up laura lee's plane when she tried to leave, but let natalie do whatever she wanted
"you were always it's favorite" the wilderness didn't spare mari, who drew the queen only due to interference from another, but it did everything to save natalie who drew the queen fair and square
the wilderness didn't want them to leave, but it loved natalie so much it let her go
big fan of whatever the youth is doing to torment scientology buildings
something i think that's interesting about nat's gender presentation and her approach toward the other girls is that it is a bit "not like other girls," but i don't know if i agree that it's "not like other girls" in an intentionally diminishing way.
one thing about being raised poor is that it, like the myriad of other ways you can be subjugated/oppressed, is something that -takes- your gender too, especially in terms of femininity. if you go to school smelling like smoke because your dad hotboxed you in the car, your footing in the gender box that society prefers (clean, put-together, in some ways innocent) is impacted. if your clothes are ripped and stained and you don't have many of them, this can become a struggle too. you're not like other girls because you literally are not like other girls, and it's even possible that you're experiencing the punishment not just from shitty boys but also your girl peers-- it's just how it goes.
and so in the case of nat, it kind of makes sense to me? if you're already outside the box of "girl" in the way that the world would prefer, it becomes a protective strategy to simply lean into that distance. (more on this in a sec.)
as an example, i do think it's interesting that taissa's go-to for nat when they were arguing over allie was, "you smell like a wino. get your shit together." the term wino is pretty often associated with homelessness or being drunk in the streets, so the comment isn't just a nod toward what might be going on with nat drinking-wise but also a pretty charged statement in relation to her class status. this sort of dynamic carries into the adult timeline too, where it's definitely felt through various interactions that shauna and tai look down at nat in different ways. (and don't get me wrong, it's quite complicated, especially in terms of her dynamic with tai and the tumultuous rehab support there.)
all the same, i think this whole class impact on gender thing continues on with respect to nat's sexuality and how this is commented on by other characters too (re: jackie and tai). the reason this feels like another class thing is that "chastity" has its roots in women as material objects with worth rooted in a perceived "purity." chastity is naturally going to be more often surveilled and prioritized in richer families who have the time/energy to keep an eye on their children. meanwhile, poorer families might not have the resources to surveil children in the same way (even if a parent, like nat's dad, clearly wants to control this aspect). so nat's even having had sexual experiences can be a bit of a nod to her class-- the fact that she was able to be in spaces where this was possible, to disappear into those relationships, even at a younger age, can speak to this.
but yeah, when you do look at nat, you see that she primarily has relationships with men. her younger friends, kevyn and rich. her connection with travis. her connection with ben. there's probably a level of internalized misogyny there, but i think it's also interestingly placed at odds with nat's protectiveness over womanhood: when she has her comeback to travis after he makes sexist comments about her having sexual experience; when ben checks out from shauna's delivery and nat rushes to her side to hold her hand and tell her that women have been having babies for since the dawn of time; even when nat takes up the gun after her dad throws her mom to the ground.
what i'm saying here is that nat is actually often moving toward women-- her taking lisa under her wing, her teaching gen to hunt, her making way for lottie in the bath, her reassuring shauna, even her reaching out to work with hannah. when she says marishauna's beef is "dumb girl shit," it does grate because it's a diminishing thing to say about a real dynamic that is causing problems in the group, and not necessarily to defend it, but i do think it comes from a place of conceptualizing behaviors she has maybe been at the end of (gossip, slut-shaming, classist remarks) as "dumb girl shit" to better let them roll off her back.
all that to say, i think nat does have some internalized misogyny stuff going on, but i also think she cares deeply about her teammates and actually does respect them. it's just that she has simultaneously been boxed out of "woman" by the ways classism and purity culture also intersect with her own experience of misogyny. so there's this level of care there met with this distance of "i'm not like you. because you would never let me be."
wtf was Nat doing under the porch when she found that bottle of whiskey??

the only bmi i care about is bagel mmmyummy itsgotcreamcheese
"she's my friend"
"is that what we are?"
Call me old fashioned, but I think the president saying "a whole civilization will die tonight" is the part where he should be deposed immediately.
I would really like to see Nat get the āheroā treatment by the media after the rescue. Tabloids are heralding her as the girl who saved them all, the one who braved the cold and scaled a mountain to make the miraculous call for rescue. Paparazzi are hounding her for interviews and photo ops and are branding her as āthe savior of Flight 2525.ā The school has a memorial and everyone wants her to get up on stage and say something meaningful. And all of it is making her want to crawl out of her own skin with guilt.
That severe dissonance of being treated like a āsaintā when she knows, viscerally, what sheās done (and what sheās stood by and allowed to happen while maintaining her āsaintā image). And all of her teammates know it too, and she can feel their resentment simmering under the surface.
It becomes something she carries for the rest of her life, this split between the part of her that is soft, kind, and firmly grounded in her morals, and the part of her that abandoned all of that in the wilderness in the name of self-preservation. And over time we start to see her trying to intentionally present herself in a way that feels darker, harsher, more undeserving of the reverence placed on her; trying to make her exterior match the guilt she feels. If the world insists on calling her a hero, she spends the rest of her life trying to prove them wrong, reshaping herself into someone who looks as broken and culpable as she feels. And thatās the version of her we meet in the adult timeline.
I feel like this āmedia darlingā plot line would reflect her entire character arc, as sheās positioned as the moral compass of the story, the āhero,ā while being just as complicit in the violence as everyone else, a contradiction even we as the audience buy into at first until weāre forced to sit with the reality of what sheās actually done.
i feel like no one talks about adult nat. god DAMN. travis could have never handled this

Thinking about how the Yellowjackets obviously donāt have any pictures or anything out there so Shaunas reaction to seeing Jackieās face for the first time in a year is going to be crazy
Respectfully some of yāall are taking toxic Travnat too far. I love toxic codependent Travnat and possessive/jealous Nat donāt get me wrong, but Nat would never hit him, especially given the environment she grew up in. The one time we ever see her hit someone (Misty) she immediately recoils and starts to cry with her head in her hands.
When Nat feels anger or rage, we repeatedly see her internalize it, she does not explode or project it outward the way Shauna does. Nat is pretty blatantly depicted as not aggressive and self-punishing.
Natās entire character circulates around complicity and her violence lies in passivity, not abrasiveness or aggression. Yes she sabotages Travisā post-rescue relationships but I get the sense she did so by slinking back into his life and playing mind games, not barging in and wrecking shit. When she sees Jackie and Travis dancing together during Doomcoming, her response is to pretend to be apathetic and leave the situation. When she watches him getting closer with Lottie, she orchestrates faking Javiās death to pull Travis away from Lottie rather than openly expressing her anger and jealousy (and even that wasnāt purely jealousy, it was also genuine concern for his wellbeing and wanting to help him.)
And as possessive as she can be, she would not slut-shame the women Travis dates post-rescue. Natalie āthe 50s called, they want your dumbass attitude backā Scatorccio is not going to replicate the misogyny sheās lived through her entire life, especially not toward other women and especially not over a man.
Ya ya, pack it up dollar tree Shauna Shipman
Some sick, twisted part of me would love it if Nat watches everyoneās lives fall apart once they get home and starts to carry the guilt of orchestrating the rescue, like sheās the one who took away the sense of purpose and freedom the wilderness gave them and forced them back into a world that they no longer fit into.

But she skipped a grade when she was really young and then later on got really burnt out and struggled to keep up
YES^^^
i like the concept of Natalie being actually really smart and skipping a grade to cover the tracks of her being born in 1979 instead of 77-78 like the others. she just doesnāt seem like she would have an early enough birthday to still make the cut as a senior otherwise, you canāt convince me she doesnāt have a winter birthday
