Van & Taissa looking at each other right before they both join in on the cannibalism is a beautiful moment in a way… it’s like, “will you still love me if I do this? will you see me do the worst thing imaginable and still stay? will you love the monster I’m about to become?”

taivan week details
hey guys!!! I'm thrilled that there's enough interest to do this! while this is all still in the very early planning stages, I wanted to share the details I have figured out so far. most importantly, I want this to be a collaborate effort with all taivan shippers, so I'm going to be asking for suggestions and running polls at different stages (more details below).
what is it???
taivan week is a fanweek dedicated to taivan (van & taissa from yellowjackets). it's a collaborative fandom effort to celebrate the canon lesbian ship we all love through the creation fanworks (fanart, fics, edits, etc.) with a different theme for each day (details for suggesting themes and voting are in the "daily themes" section below).
when is it???
the first ever taivan week will be held in early november to coincide with when taivan came out at doomcoming, and to give everyone enough time to create fanworks.
the potential weeks are:
monday, november 6th - sunday, november 12th
monday, november 13th - sunday, november 19th
the week will be decided by polls on twitter and tumblr that will go live on tuesday, august 8th at 10AM EST and close on tuesday, august 15th.
the official date announcement will be made on wednesday, august 16th at 6PM EST
daily themes
each day of taivan week will have a different theme to inspire fanwork posted that day (ie. no crash au monday). themes will be suggested via an anonymous suggestion form and voted on by everyone via polls.
details
the link to the theme suggestion form will be shared on here and twitter on friday, august 11th at 7PM EST and will close on friday, august 18th at midnight EST.
all of the theme suggestions to be voted on will be announced on here and twitter at saturday, august 19th at noon EST.
on sunday, august 20th at noon EST a link to a poll will be shared on here and twitter for everyone to rank their top four favorite theme suggestions. the poll will close on saturday, august 26th at noon EST.
the top 10 themes based on that poll will be announced on here and twitter on sunday, august 27th at 8PM EST.
on monday, august 28th at 9AM EST polls will open on tumblr to decide the theme for each day of the week from those top 10. the polls will close on monday, september 4th.
on wednesday, september 6th at 7PM EST the themes for each day of taivan week will be announced on here and twitter!
hashtags
specific hashtags to use for taivan week as well as each themed day will be shared on here and twitter in october. using these hashtags when sharing taivan week fanworks on twitter, tumblr, and/or ao3 will help everyone to be able to find them. I'll also reblog fanworks from the hashtags on here and retweet them on the taivan week twitter account.
Q&A, comments, and suggestions
please drop any questions, comments, or suggestions you have for taivan week in the Q&A inbox on here!
I'm so excited for the first ever taivan week, and I can't wait to see what themes everyone comes up with!

the parallels between 1996 Van saying “that’s just something that’s happening to you… happening to us” in S2E1 and 2021 Van saying “Lottie can help us” in the trailer…
Van will always take on Taissa’s problems as her own. There’s no moment of hesitancy for her, she just automatically helps Tai shoulder the weight of whatever she’s going through in that moment.

it’s really remarkable to have two queer actors who care so deeply about the representation themselves playing Van and Taissa

Reasons you should be watching Yellowjackets as a lesbian:
Let’s start with the obvious, shall we, the canon lesbian ship (VanTaissa). Which includes a masc/butch lesbian and a lesbian of color! Like we love to see the representation! Their relationship also feels authentic in a way rarely seen in media. Their scenes really shine with the underlying playfulness of young, first love.
Tumblr media
Did I mention they’re played by an openly nonbinary lesbian actor and a queer actress in the 1996 timeline and Taissa in 2021 is played by another queer actress! And the cast has been allowed a lot of involvement in making their characters stories even more authentic (though the show runners and writers already do an amazing job).

Speaking of their story, one of my favorite things about the show is that their relationship and queerness isn’t treated as an obstacle to overcome, as it is many times in media. In fact, relationship is really a source of joy and strength for both characters when they’re stranded in the wilderness. Also, it should be noted that both of the lesbian characters have well developed storylines and motivations beyond their relationship.
And in 2021 we learn that Taissa grew up to have a beautiful family with her wife (who isn’t Van) and get to watch her campaign for state senate as an out lesbian. Enter the internal conflict of wanting to root for Taissa’s marriage in 2021 while simultaneously wanting a decades spanning love story for Van and Taissa.
On the topic of Van, she’s one of the best representations of masc/gender nonconforming lesbians I’ve seen in my lifetime. The show allows her to be sweet and soft and emotionally vulnerable in a way that masc/butch lesbians are rarely allowed to be on screen. (I could go on about what that portrayal personally meant to me, but that’s a whole other thread)
Tumblr media
However, the show’s overarching queerness and exploration of lesbian identity goes far beyond the canon relationships. Jackie and Shauna are two best friends on the show who have an underlying (and very obvious) romantic tension to their friendship complete with longing glances and homoromantic friendship breakups.
Tumblr media
Let me put it this way, if you even remotely liked Jennifer’s Body, you will be head over heals for JackieShauna. And don’t even get me started on the visceral portrayal of Jackie’s comphet in the pilot (or do if you want a dissertation). And there’s also queer coding in so many other characters (stares at Lottie and her purple laced docs and Nat and her everything).
Also, I cannot stress enough how incredible this show is even beyond it’s queer elements! Like from the 90s vibes to the incredible writing to beautiful cinematography, it’s worth the watch. Like it’s a riveting psychological horror mystery that explores the brutalities of girlhood with heart and humor.
Did I mention Showtime renewed through season 3 before we even got a trailer for season 2, so we’re guaranteed at least two more seasons! (Not to mention Showtime has a long history of supporting lesbian and queer narratives)

I think one of the reasons the taivan’s reunion is going to be so emotional to watch, is because we never get this… like it’s so unprecedented to have a canon lesbian couple where both of them survive, like we’re used to watching tragic death scenes, we’re not used to reunions. like it’s so rare & special that we finally get to have this and that, in and of itself, is emotional. but it’s also an entirely new type of story to emotionally process. like to watch two characters who are so in love drift apart is jarring in a way we haven’t experienced and then, we’re watching them reunite under such intense circumstances. like we so rarely get to see such complex and nuanced lesbian love stories get to play out on screen, it’s honestly going to be a lot to watch.
