interesting that she says "I can't" instead of won't. she seems distressed that she can't tell the ppl asking so probably her family. it certainly plays into the theory that she'll speak about what happened and get killed for it

Do not adjust your screens. The #Yellowjackets Season 4 official trailer is coming tomorrow.

"I'm building a narrative" "classic heroes journey" "I was a warrior. I was a fucking queen" "Its Shauna's fault Van is dead. Really, its her fault Natalie is dead too." "The wilderness chose"—as Crystal aptly said "Then you've found the greatest truth of all; We're made of lies"
Ruth retweeted
like Laura Lee saying “it wasn’t as bad as you thought” isn't about death, but about Jackie finally having to look inward. and Cabin guy saying “we’ve been waiting for you”… because she’s been running from this for so long
Ruth retweeted
it's also why, when she gets to shauna, she's unable to actually compliment her. jackie refuses to investigate her own internal world and her feelings for shauna are so hugely part of who she *actually* is that she cannot face them without having to face everything else
Ruth retweeted
it's really important to jackie's character that the things she's saying to each girl are all projections of her own insecurities. she IS inspired by laura lees faith and vans happiness and nats individuality bc she's putting on a facade that isn't fulfilling

Oh I just know the Taissa/Mel hostility is going to make so much more sense after this season god I'm so fucking excitedddddddddddddd

comments like this are sooo funny to me cause ofc u don't have to like travis as a character or find him interesting but acting like he's the villian and represents the privileged majority is crazy. yj literally flips gender dynamics on its head and travis is a victim CAUSE of--

btw on the prayer card in the pilot there's an angel welcoming a human figure into the divine realm. and in the original painting, the angel leads humanity through the darkness/the biblical wilderness. the show repeatedly implies Jackie as some kind of guardian angel ("guide us")

Won't get into it too much because that's what the vid was for lmao. but I just wanted to make a thread on my favourite visual nods to the RWS major arcana in the show (there are more in the Thoth & minor arcana —as you can see on the thumbnail, Pit Girl x The 10 of Swords)
Well... I can't believe I'm actually done, but it's finally video essay day. And of course, totally by coincidence, it ends up being today. Just in time for Jackie's birthday tomorrow. Happy All Souls !

what I love about this is maybe both of these things are true, and it exposes both of their insecurities.
this rly is the highest compliment Jackie could give, and yet for Nat it'll cut deep because she DOES care. she wants to admired & relied on as she perceives Jackie to be
Ruth retweeted
I strongly disagree, I actually think this is one of the highest compliments Jackie gives any of them. She is terrified of what other people think of her to the point shes shoved herself into a prison of expectations that is poisoning everhthing she actually cares about.

I genuinely hadn't even seen this tweet until today but I say practically the same thing word for word in the video essay. Ruth and I always just
Ruth retweeted
Also Akilah being given this role of immense amount of pressure but receiving little recognition for it is not really surprising when you consider the reality of her being a dark skinned teenager and the adultification of black children particularly during that period…

The thing with Shauna and Jackie in Yellowjackets is that I think it’s a mistake to view them as entirely separate entities in the first place. Narratively-speaking they’re of a piece, inextricably entwined. 9 and 6: the same number inverted like on a playing card.
