"I reached up and laid my palm on his cheek. He could have pushed my hand away, he could have recoiled at my touch. He didn't. Just that one tiny thing told me what I needed to know— that Jere was still Jere and nothing could ever change that." - The Summer I Turned Pretty (2022 - 2025)
Stabbing me would hurt less💔
i feel like it’s 2022 again because why am i back on the mileven legal team....
i could never seriously engage in discourse over anything jenny han’s hands have been on because she isn’t a good writer but a lot of you guys are still putting unearned amounts of faith in the “one girl wedged between two brothers” storytelling mechanic and you’re going to be disappointed every single time. julie plec being the anchor of the trope should’ve been everyone’s first red flag.
back to being that annoying yjs fan who points out that it is odd to want to live vicariously through a violent, thoughtless, and delusional character like shauna shipman. the weight of her loss isn’t equitable to her actions because it’s not supposed to be. before anything else, shauna shipman was an insecure teenage girl who lost her best friend and her baby. a pure extension of her was taken before she ever learned to understand the novelty of what she had. that loss turned her into the woman who recollects on her time in the wilderness as fun. that loss turned her into a negligent, impulsive hypocrite who died with the things tethering her to her already compromised humanity. not fully, but enough that she would rather propel herself as a warrior and try to reclaim any of what was taken from her. that immense pain turned her into a wounded person, a wounded animal, and the narrative should absolutely allow her to be that with no apology; however, the people praising shauna for hurting others and wanting to glorify the projection of her pain onto characters like mari or callie are odd. you guys don’t want women to be angry in the narrative because you get mad when taissa is angry. you got mad when mari was angry. you guys want shauna to be angry and take it out on travis by antagonizing him with his dead brother (notice the pattern there) while everyone claps for her.
disliking shauna ≠ misunderstanding shauna.
you all are the ones misunderstanding that we can feel bad for the people shauna has hurt without minimizing her pain. you all are the ones who suddenly become hypercritical of a character’s rage and how it manifests when they’re a person of color, and i’m not going to sugarcoat it because that’s what it is. disliking taissa, mari, travis, or any other character on this show is not unreasonable. i’m not saying disliking them is racist. i’m saying that applauding the tyrannical white character and demonizing any poc character for displaying the same rage (without the main character treatment) is weird.
it’s even weirder to suggest that recognizing shauna’s presence in the story and disliking her actions means that we don’t deserve to watch the evil cannibalism show the same as you. at the end of the day, this narrative is not meant to be a pleasant one, and shauna’s pain has shaped her into an unpleasant person. the issue is parading around as emotionally or literarily superior because you have empathy for shauna and no other character on the show. the same people who endorse shauna villainize any other character who operates out of pain when the point is not to villainize them at all. these characters are full of nuance, full of cruelty and even their own forms of gentleness after the relentless jaws of the wilderness. people can recognize that and recognize character’s actions as objectively wrong and it is that deep when microaggressive attitudes materialize out of thin air when the narrative allows characters like taissa to operate in their pain.
it’s not just microaggressions though. the same fans screaming for people to just have “fun” with the show crucify others for disagreeing with them in any capacity. it’s going beyond enjoyment on the basis of complexity, entertainment value, etc. that’s dumb.

i don’t have like.. anything else to say about yjs now that the season is over with renewal pending other than enjoying the evil women show doesn’t mean that we can’t express empathy/sympathy for the characters who are negatively impacted by the narrative. that’s not synonymous with condemning the narrative itself. can’t believe it has to be said that media can be consumed and interpreted in more than one way in 2025 but ok.
Children in Gaza are losing their limbs every day—just like the little girl in this heartbreaking photo. The war has stolen their futures, their mobility, and their right to live in peace. My own son, Qais, is just two years old. He was injured in an airstrike, and I cannot afford the medical treatment he desperately needs. As a mother with no income, I beg you—please Donate and help us. Your donation could be the reason Qais walks again.
This is the terrifying reality for many children in Gaza:
1. Airstrikes often target residential areas, leaving children with life-altering injuries.
2. Hospitals lack medicine and equipment, and most families cannot afford private care.
3. Children like Qais are at risk of permanent disability, even death, without timely treatment.
I watch my child cry in pain every night, and I can do nothing but hold him. No mother should face this. We need your support now more than ever. Every donation—no matter the amount—can help save Qais’s , his future, and his life. Please, don’t look away. Help us heal.
Donate Now Here
If Qais was your only son, would you let him face the same fate or would you help him?
Yes, I will donate 😭💔
Yes, I will Reblog 😭💔
Please stop ✋🚨 you're the only hope to save a child😔😭

Due to outrageously high processing fees, the family seven-year-old Omar still has not raised enough funds to do Omar’s complete skin graft. A partial graft has been done, but they still need funds to cover the rest of Omar’s wounds. Their father also remains in critical condition and in danger of permanent paralysis.
**Now, they are trapped by IOF attack. They need to arrange transportation out of the area NOW to avoid being trapped by IOF death squads! They cannot move by foot due to their injuries, they NEED transportation out of the area NOW!!!**
They need to raise €300 EUR to cover the cost of transportation. Of this amount, they have raised €180 so far. That means they still need €120 EUR to evacuate.
Current: €6,608 EUR
New temporary goal: €6,728 EUR
Need to raise: €120 EUR (about $131 USD)

you’re serving face? you’re about to fulfill the pit girl prophecy, and you’re serving face??!
Mari Ibarra having her HAIR cut off and worn as a trophy by some white girl that she hated really like. irks the shit out of me. to be honest.
i’m simply not going to stop talking about this because the fandom reaction is as bad as what happened to mari. it’s inequitable to the cannibalism because most of them are being cannibalized, but only mari had her hair taken (aside from hannah’s which wasn’t taken from her violently in comparison). it’s evocative/reflective of historically unethical violence against natives that, whether coincidental or not, shouldn’t be met with poc fans being called sensitive. mari’s death being planned doesn’t negate how it comes off and brushing off people who are upset by it is not the flex some fans think it is.

spoiler warning again or whatever but the shauna/yellowjackets fans refusing to acknowledge the implications (both internally and externally contextualized) of mari having her hair taken (either by cutting or scalping) and given to the tyrannical white girl to parade around in is sooo indicative of where their heads are at. whether or not it was incidentally obtuse on the ends of the writers, there’s a blatant difference between discussing it’s “narrative impact” and telling poc who point it out to “touch grass.” regardless of what the writers were TRYING to do, it’s not that hard to recognize when you’re written into a corner and retcon overall, but if they weren’t going to do that, please continue to be microaggressive so i know who to block. yes, this is a bad show where bad things happen. no, you don’t get to tell poc to touch grass when those things that are meant to be uncomfortable make people uncomfortable. it’s almost as if you’re entitled and think people should only consume media how you want them to???
major yellowjackets spoilers under the cut. long post ahead.
let’s talk about the yellowjackets season three finale. this episode is titled full circle and after sitting on the episode for some time, i’d say it lives up to that salutation. i’ve got a lot of opinions about this season overall but this particular think piece is about shauna shipman, and by extension, mari ibarra (our confirmed pit girl).
i want to start by highlighting that empathy ≠ sympathy. if you’re like me, you’re neutral about shauna shipman, and this finale has either assassinated her character or taken her in a direction that you can support. in my opinion, shauna is a self-hating, jealous, and spiteful person pre-crash. she laments over how she’s perceived compared to jackie taylor from the very beginning and refuses to set boundaries, ultimately enabling a feedback loop that drives her spite, and leads to the cabin fight preceding the death of her best friend.
the finale inadvertently confirms through travis that deeper, sapphic feelings were very much present in this friendship, but i’m not veering off into ship rhetoric. i’m pointing this out because a string of shauna’s actions not only isolated her from her best friend, but from the parts of herself that were able to feel that deeply in general. refer to the death of javi martinez, which begins as the murder of natalie scatorccio after she draws the queen card. shauna is not happy that this is happening. now, remember the feedback loop. shauna is aware of her flaws and those same flaws cause her to inadvertently manifest her worst fears, repress the parts of herself that felt vindicated in the wilderness, and ultimately encapsulate why she sees herself as a warrior.
she knows she was the only one having fun in the wilderness. she knows that after losing jackie, losing her son, and losing javi, the only way to reclaim that pain (and those losses by extension) is to project and decimate. hold a knife to the throat of javi’s older brother and speak as if you wanted the boy to die. remember the feedback loop and remember that, as early as season one when shauna nearly consumed the blood of the deer that she was butchering, she had the capacity for that darkness. she rejects her inner fears (being boring, obsolete, a secondary character in her life) and embraces her power. i. e, being their butcher, being their queen.
i pointed out some of shauna’s negative traits pre-crash because her pregnancy and eventual loss of her son exacerbates these flaws, but remember the feedback loop. at this point, shauna is too far gone. shauna is too entitled. after what she’s lost, the wilderness goes from something she innately rejects to something she embraces for its viciousness (that mirrors hers). this is how shauna reclaims her power. this is how she’s acknowledged just once.
what does any of this have to do with mari ibarra though? from the glimpses we see pre-season 3, most of mari’s interactions with shauna are pleasant; however, as mari is developed in season 3, we notice something very crucial (circling back to my point about sympathy and empathy being inequitable). mari pities shauna. she isn’t particularly afraid of her although shauna is shown to be stronger than her at multiple points, she doesn’t walk on eggshells around her. mari still sees the parts of shauna that won’t die, no matter how much is taken from her. mari sees the insecure, unstable teenage girl stuck in the feedback loop.
i’d like to make an external connection between the viewers and mari here. for many, understanding and acknowledging shauna’s thematic presence isn’t synonymous with liking/defending her actions. that’s empathetic. the point here is that shauna is not meant to be anything but empathetic. sympathy aligns more with exoneration, but the treatment of mari ibarra’s corpse under her rule (stripped, skinned, and presumably scalped seeing as shauna requested her hair) further alienates shauna from that exoneration because she never desired it. she’s the antithesis of a survivor coming out better from their trauma.
shauna is worse. not because she chose it, but because she is. her hatred for mari was heavily bracketed by anyone daring to treat shauna as if she were still secondary after everything. for all of this season’s faults, i can say this intimate piece of storytelling is very impactful, and very divisive because of it. it all depends on the tastes of the viewer. i find that while i’m refreshed by shauna’s perspective and engaged by her villainy, rooting for her is impossible when rooting for her was never the point.
additionally, expecting people not to react negatively to shauna defeats the purpose of her character. as i’ve stated before, in my subjective opinion, there are few ways to receive these characters incorrectly. a string of intricacies and nuances such as this were bound to trigger reactions of the same volition. all in all, while my feelings regarding her being the antler queen are not the most positive, i can see the thematic weight and drastic contrast between the shauna who watched jackie’s corpse burn and the shauna who used mari as an example. to ask for a wholly positive reaction to that aside from the narrative culmination is essentially requesting that our sympathy for shauna bypass an innate ability to sympathize/empathize with those either impacted by her actions directly or perpetrating cycles of their own. the wilderness was shauna’s aggressor so she became everyone else’s, which should be understood, but never pardoned.

the deconstruction of otto hightower after seeing how spiteful and rash aegon is has to be one of the most notable things about this episode. once again, the writers do a disservice to allegedly giving anyone on team green “depth.” this reads as giving aegon a couple of scenes to show some level humanity to what they introduced as a reckless, cruel child; however, his temperament, as well as his grief, all reduce him back to the imprudence that made him so unlikable in the first place. i understand that the point of these characters are to be multifarious depending on the lenses they’re viewed from, but i can’t be the only one who feels like there’s this gaping disconnect between the apparent intentions of the writers and what’s actually being seen.
i have thoughts about alicole (predominantly about my indifference toward them for multiple reasons having to do with the choices made by the writers), but i really have thoughts on the reaction to them. the anti team green, but more importantly, anti alicent hightower side of the fandom could not wait to have a reason to call her hypocritical for reclaiming an entitlement to her body that she’d been stripped of as a child. a motherless child who was a mother herself; after the death of viserys, alicent is having consensual sex with ser criston cole, and the immediate reaction from the fandom is either to reduce this to rhaenyra (somehow), or demonize them both. the societal/political proclivity team black is praised so vehemently for being above only becomes relevant when it’s feeding a spiteful rhetoric toward alicent, and at this point, it’s clear the fandom will grasp onto anything.
