Excuse me pls rank the yellowjackets from most favorite to least favorite

Oh my gosh, yes, okay okay okay, in reverse order:

13 & 12. Akilah & Mari

It's not that they're my least favourites exactly, they're just the least fleshed out as characters. I hope they both get more to do in s2, because I especially liked the little bit more we got of them during Taissa's failed expedition to find a town. Would love to see them fight off more wolves.

11. Travis

This boy has i s s u e s, which should be fun (I love issues!) but he just falls a little flat for me. I wish we'd gotten more meaningful interactions between him and Javi in particular, as I felt the few we got were so brief we didn't really get to feel their connection or their distance as brothers. Plus he really does treat Natalie like shit.

10. Lottie

I think this is probably a controversial opinion, and I'm delighted for this ranking to change in s2, but she didn't do a lot for me this season. I thought her visions were really well portrayed and I liked seeing her uncertain of where the lines were between reality, spirituality and insanity, but I didn't feel grounded in her character really, or like I could tell you much about her beyond her spirituality.

9. Van

A cutie patootie! I loved her being pissed at Jackie for abandoning her on the plane, and her relationship with Taissa's cute as hell. I'm curious about her burgeoning faith, and even more curious to know if she makes it out.

8. Javi

Baby boy. Him taking the knife to make a little beastie for Shauna got me right in the heart.

7. Jackie

Her arc didn't go the way I was expecting at all, and I was glad the show humanised her by making her leadership in town completely deteriorate in the wild. Coach was right, her power was in her influence, but she doesn't have any influence out there, especially when she won't hunt or learn the survival skills like the others. It made her so frustrating, but also really interesting and unexpected too.

6. Laura Lee

The first real hero of the series, and I love that we got to know her so well in the brief amount of screentime she had. Her taking her teddy bear with her on what amounted to a suicide mission just really beautifully encapsulated that these girls are still children, and idek, I just liked her a lot. She really did just want to get everyone out, and the fact that what propelled her forwards was Van's injury and Shauna's pregnancy when she wasn't especially close with either of them was a little magic.

Also I laughed a lot in this show, but her thinking she'd doomed them all because she'd called her piano teacher a cunt in her head killed me.

5. Natalie

Her flashback ep was one of my faves. I love the way the show circles themes of responsibility and accountability, and I thought it was handled best with the death of Natalie's father. She's been backed into a corner her entire life and the fact that the show let her be mean and ugly and self-sabotaging as a result of that and didn't ever try to make her likeable was magic to me. She's a scrappy little dumpster dog who's been kicked too many times, and I love her.

4. Misty

Honestly no words.

She's an absolute psycho, and I love her too.

3. Coach Ben

Genuinely was not expecting to love him to the extent that I do at the start of the series. I love love love that the show didn't go the route of making him a creep, and instead decided to make him a closeted gay dad suddenly dumped with one million children in the middle of the wilderness. He's trying his best, okay!!

2. Taissa

Tough to a fault and a survivor because she has no other choice but to be is 10000% one of my favourite character tropes, and Taissa embodies it SO WELL, both as kid and as an adult. I love the way she hides herself and her needs behind so many layers that it's just leaking out the sides of her in ways that are increasingly ugly and raw and I have no idea where her arc is going, but I can't wait to find out.

1. Shauna

*Marie Kondo gif* I love mess.

My number one disaster girl (at least on this show, haha), I just love everything about her, and I especially love Melanie Lynskey.

#yellowjackets #when i first read your ask i think i would've put lottie further up?#but then i thought about it and figured i was mostly invested in her scenes because of the mystery as opposed to her character?#i still like her / am intrigued by her #but yeah i thought a lot of the other girls were better rounded #i'm so hyped for s2 though #welcome to my ama
