Thoughts about Yellowjackets 🐝:

- Shauna and Jackie had a toxic codependent relationship. I always sensed some homoerotic vibe from them though. I honestly even thought Shauna was in love with Jackie until the scene where she fucked Jeff. Lmao. 😂 Even after that, always thought there’s something gay brewing in there. 😂 Ella Purnell even thought so because she said in an interview that she loves how she and Sophie Nélisse gave off gay vibes. 😂

- Lottie and Laura Lee also gave off homoerotic vibes. That ship sunk before it can sail though. RIP. 😂 But seriously, the potential for drama between them. Laura Lee is ultra religious so the internalized homophobia would be so bad. Lottie is off her meds and mentally ill and then you add some gay awakening? Chaos. 😂 Anyway, Jane Widdop said in an interview that they don’t think Laura Lee was a homophohe because they were asked if Laura Lee would have judged Van and Taissa when they came out if Laura Lee was still alive. Queen behavior. Wasn’t even aware Jane is nonbinary and grew up catholic so I’m guessing they related it to Laura Lee in an extent.

- Travis and Natalie are so toxic from the get go. I was never really that interested with them together though. I find them boring. Kevin Alves and Sophie Thatcher don’t have much chemistry together. In fact, Kevin had more chemistry with Ella.

- Misty Quigley is the champ. Definitely my fave. I love them psycho. 🤗 Kind of a bummer that we didn’t see her potential friendship with Jackie to blossom. Jackie, unfortunately, became a popsicle before it can happen. RIP. 😔 Misty also seems to have a soft spot for Natalie in particular in the present day so I’m curious what brought that on considering they didn’t have much interaction in the wilderness so far.

Actually if you think about it Shauna fucked Jeff because she was in love with Jackie. Like if you can't fuck someone the closest way to get to it is fucking someone they fucked. I fully believe Shauna still loves Jackie more than she loves Jeff after all these years.

I know it's a popular theory but I personally don't see Lottie/Laura Lee. Laura Lee was an anchor to this simple black and white morality that kept her worldview safe in her All-American home, and I think she realised it wasn't tenable in the wilderness, but still tried to cling on the rules she was always taught would apply even if her reality was shattered.

I feel like there's a stark difference between her and Lottie in that they both feel isolated, but Laura Lee doesn't push her religion - reminiscent of their old environment, but historically relatively new (evangelicalism) on others too forcefully, but will accept potential converts - like Lottie - when they come to her (which is very at odds with evangelicalism but oh well).

Lottie, who has been isolated, seeks glory for herself through the conduit of a religion that is starkly new to all the characters, but is implied to be, in some ways "primordial" - this is something that has been brewing here for a long time, a Venus flytrap that has enticed its victims since at least the old French Canadian guy.

I wonder whether they'll explore the colonial implications - like, I sincerely hope they don't go "oh yeah wacky indigenous religion". I think it's interesting that when Lottie gets possessed, she speaks the words about spilling blood in French - the language of the (implicitly colonial) dead guy in the cabin.

I wasn't really invested in Natalie/Travis because umm in the nicest way the men in this show do not matter very much. Travis will be the lost Lenore motivating Natalie and I'm fine with that.

I think they're anchors to each other because (so far) they're some of the very few people who haven't succumbed to Lottie's influence, and Travis was explicitly made a victim of their new culty ways. I want to know who killed him and especially what Nat was right about. Like couldn't you have been less shadowy in your cryptic note... Also since men don't matter they are DEFINITELY killing coach next since he's another "anchor" to the old world

Misty is great I love her ❣️ full disclosure before watching the TV show and based on gif sets on here I thought they were in love. I have not abandoned the idea of Misty being in love with Natalie yet. There's so much I want to know about Misty... I don't think she's invested in the cult anymore. But I do think she could be a serial killer. Just for a laff

The showrunner saying Joy must be worked for and hard earned, and this need to always push a moral lesson (which by the way applies to only a certain character it would seem) doesn't just sit well with me.

Sometimes indeed we must work for the happiness we desire but Joy does not have to be born out of some heart breaking, messy life event or situation. Joy can be easy. Joy should actually be easy (we just tend to make life difficult for ourselves we certain choices). And yes we don't live in a perfect world neither are we perfect people but there must not be a moral lesson to everything. A person's life must not descend into chaos for the person to learn a simple lesson. (And I speaking generally, not just as a Leyren fan)

According to him Max and Helen worked hard and earned their joy so they deserve the bliss they have. That's maybe debatable, but.. Okay. 😂

Even Meredith that always lost someone in her life, equally had many many moments of Joy. I'm not asking for everything to be portrayed as sunshine and roses, but I hope this mindset dies this season. For Real.

It remains to be seen how Lauren in particular earns her joy or learns a great lesson..because what even are nice things.😒

tbh i always try not to take david's interviews too much to heart because the man likes to talk like he's some passive observer instead of uh, the showrunner and essentially god to these little tv sims characters. kinda pretentious but eh, whatever. if you go back to his old interviews about max and helen, he talks about how he lied and played up some dramatics,

I think we’ve all been waiting for this moment for so long and I’ve had to lie about it for so long — all the questions about Max and Sharpe and the love triangle and do they love each other and all this stuff. I can’t tell you guys the truth. I have to wait for Max and Helen to tell everyone. Me ruining the surprise would just be awful.

he doesn't like to give a straight answer about things brewing lol. nevertheless, i agree, it's okay to let characters be happy just to be happy! i'm not a fan of the whole, suffering to earn happiness concept. pain and hardship is not currency 😩 It especially annoyed me as well when he made it out like helen and max have done something to earn it more than the rest of the characters who have all been through their own hell and back. like glad he feels assured enough to be all 'spoiler alert yeah max and helen will face some conflict but they'll be fine and make it through' yeah yeah great but what about everyone else dude? even aside from lauren, iggy went through an eating disorder, getting held hostage at gunpoint by a patient and coming to terms with how his way of practicing medicine was unsustainable for him personally.

but the move to london was what they considered the Big Shake Up for this season so hopefully it's peaceful and happy resolutions for all the other storylines lol.
