I'm Not Sorry For The Person I Become In February When Yellowjackets Season 3 Comes Out

To me the crux of the story in Yellowjackets will always be a reflection of how modern major societies continuously and systematically fail the most vulnerable.

Every character in this show is a victim one way or another.

Lottie was born into a privileged life but was othered by her own mental illness and constantly failed by a world that continuously silenced and isolated her rather than guiding or dealing with the issues she didn't understand how to address.

Natalie started with nothing. She is the reflection of many children in America who are born into families that do not have the physical, economic, or emotional resources to care for them.

Travis very clearly has some sort of anxiety disorder and has been shown to have a history of being bullied and even ridiculed by his own father. God forbid a young boy have any type of sensitivity. Beyond that, his character is a very deliberate example of a survivor of sexual assault- an issue that is never really addressed by the perpetrators.

Taissa was born into a middle-class privileged family and a great deal of pride and ambition that was likely learned or reinforced in some way. She also was a teenage, mixed race, lesbian in the 90's. She had every instinct and drive to succeed despite a world that was structured so that she couldn't.

Jackie was born into a privileged, suburban, white family- but she was still a teenage girl in the 90s with perceptions of who she was forced onto her.

Shauna was the stereotypical poster child of teen angst in modern America, but she also had a deep set insecurity and maladaptive issues that were never looked at or acknowledged.

All of these children undergo a tremendous amount of stress, loss, grief, pain, and both physical and emotional trauma that changes them forever. But then they return to a world that is indifferent to all of that. Their pain is spectacle. Something to be publicly agreed upon as a tragedy. But they don't ever receive the care they need from it. They are shuffled back into a world they no longer fit into and expected to return to their roles as proper, civilized, demure young women and gentleman.

The tragedy of Yellowjackets was never about the horrors of survival in the wilderness- the tragedy has always been that this is a very clear depiction of how society's indifference and persistent marginalization of those considered "other" can push people to the brink of destruction or their own humanity.

SHES LITERALLY SMILING/LAUGHING WHAT ARE WE ON

Lottielee Everything Everywhere All at Once AU where in every single universe out there, they never fall in love with each other, except for the one where their plane crashes.

In some universes, they meet each other and run in similar circles. In other universes, they’re oceans apart, and the possibility of them even passing each other by on the street is so significantly small.

In all of these other universes, they turn out just fine. They live common lives as normal people who don’t know that in only one out of millions, if not billions, of other universes out there, they hold each other’s hearts.

They never have to suffer losing each other in all the other universes because they only fall in love once. Still, it’s in that one, singular universe where Lottie suffers and Laura Lee dies that things finally go right.

It’s the only universe in existence where they find love. The tragedy is that no matter how powerful that love is, nothing stops Laura Lee from dying. Nothing stops Lottie from losing a piece of herself that she tenderly placed in Laura Lee’s care.

All the different Lotties and Laura Lees in other universes never find their way to each other. They never experience the cruelty of fate as it rips one of them away from the other. However, they also never experience happiness the way they do in that one singular universe where they’re together.

gotta fight off the demons (myself) to keep it (a past hyperfixation) from coming back (taking over my brain), through an exhaustive battle (not interacting with fandom things), that a seer (the algorithm) prophesied I would lose (giving up)
