I LOVE GAY PEOPLE (read a madlyn fanfic)

WHICH ONE

when i found out xo kitty had wlw i thought it would just be for like an epsiode or two, but the fact that half of the show was kitty having a crush on yuri??? this was sm better than i expected 😭

xo kitty is genuinely crazy cause imagine i hopped up on a flight to a foreign city and now i gotta fight the top ao3 tropes simultaneously while also in the 11th grade AND i have a sexuality crisis??

the thing is, in terms of yellowjackets’ plot it makes perfect sense that jackie dies. the fact that she symbolises normalcy and civilisation so she has to for the rest of the group to spiral completely into cannibalism and cultism. and with the more basic fact that jackie obviously has the least amount of survival skills in the group like why would she be one of the survivors out of everyone? and yet actually thinking about her death tears me up inside so much. that she was killed by alienation from the group, as someone who was supposed to be their leader. that she died thinking shauna hated her. that she was killed by both her and shauna’s own stubbornness. that her death was Completely avoidable. and that any other night staying outside wouldn’t have killed her at all. dying in her sleep, possibly the tamest way to die out in the wilderness and yet the most haunting

i don't just obsess over a ship, it becomes an integral part of my personality and i don't apologize for it

the way you know the whole time jackie’s going to die. she represents civilization she stands for the old rules and privilege they lived by. she’s not perfect and she’s not terrible she’s just built for the life she had before and nothing else. when she dies the old rules die. her death is unintentional but it is the result of the group’s first collective act of cruelty since the plane crash, and marks a turning point in all their lives. new rules. it is winter and they will have to change to survive. with jackie gone they can submit to the genre, they can give into the horrors and the dream logic and the hysteria and the hunger. the rules of civilization, like apologizing to your best friend after you betray her, no longer apply. she died because shauna could not apologize to her. and shauna carries that guilt and carries jackie inside her the rest of her life. you love your best friend so much you consume her. you killed her so you marry her boyfriend and you go to her stupid birthday parties 25 years after her death and you hold onto her ghost like a vice.
