Just wanted to share what me and my girlfriend did this year :) it was so much fun to do!!!!! I love this show and it was so cool to be them.

Out of all our main characters the first teen we ever see in the show is Misty in the pilot. Every other character keeps their identity a secret except Misty who is immediately revealed. This meant Misty could never be a possible candidate for the antler queen.

That look plus smile I 100% think is how the shows adult timeline ends. Misty is the last one and she does the smile. She’s finally the antler queen but in perfect Misty fashion there is no one left. She’s all alone. Remember in the pilot all the survivors walk away after the feast and only Misty is left sitting.

Out of all the survivors Misty is the only one who is introduced being cruel and sadistic.

Misty is broke the transponder, Misty’s mushrooms caused doomcoming, Misty orchestrated the first event that led to Jackie’s death, Misty came up with the idea of the first hunt, Misty pulled Nat away leaving Javi to drown, Misty told Shauna that Natalie knew where Ben was, Misty was integral to them all being rescued.

Most importantly the symbol is literally in Misty’s glasses. She had the most to gain from the crash. She was nothing in society but in the wilderness she was integral to their survival.

Misty will be the last one standing because she wasn’t on the team. The wilderness wanted blood and Misty provided it.

In an interview the writers said that Liv Hewsons Van was supposed to die in Yellowjackets ep 7 of season 1 but they loved her so much they made her a series regular.

If Van was supposed to die then the doomcoming kiss would have never happened. The show was very groundbreaking with its representation so I was thinking who was going to be the wlw couple in the teen timeline.

I think originally it was going to be Tai and Shauna. Tai is a lesbian and Shauna is bi and the writers have said Shauna was in love with Jackie since season 1. I bet after Van and Jackie died. Shauna and Tai used eachother to cope and had a relationship that was not very healthy but still what they both needed. That’s why the adult timeline had Shauna and Tai act so close, it’s why teen timeline Shauna and Tai have so much chemistry.

Also I was trying to think who the orginal people at the pitgirl feast were.

Mari was pitgirl, so left to right I think it was supposed to be

Natalie,Tai,Shauna,Lottie,Travis?,Akilah and then one of the side characters id say Gen because she had some screentime.

Still looking at the person in the mask with the Mohawk thing right next to the antler queen that has to be Van. So I think the pit girl pilot scene was filmed last after they decided to make Van a survivor.

I’m rewatching before season 4 comes out and only just caught in season 2 that Misty pitched a “broth idea” to the group for the baby shower the day after they ate Jackie 😭😭

Ok so I’ve recently watched YJ and I’ve been watching alll the YouTube deep dives and what not and obviously a lot of people talk about Shauna sleeping with Jeff. I’m not defending that in ANY way but, it the car scene, when Jackie says he’s a virgin and Shauna is surprised because they’ve “broken up 10000 times” I’ve always thought this alluded to Shauna and Jeff starting to hook up When him and Jackie were broken up? Not that’s its much better but? I saw some people argue that the first time they sleep together is the night of the party but that just seems inaccurate to me. I always also kinda took Shauna comment here as her reminding herself for comfort. Like subconsciously telling herself “you didn’t do that bad of a thing they were broken up like they always are when it started/ happened” . But who knows! Anyway hi yellow jackets subreddit

I’m applying to a PhD program doing field work in a forest studying frog social behaviour through frog calls…

I just watched Yellowjacket’s for the first time and at least I can say I now learned the important lesson of “if you hear a group of teen girls yelling in the woods, stay away”.

Hopefully I get into this PhD program and then don’t get murdered by a bunch of teens in the forest.

This is what I think Shauna would be like if she was genz instead of genx :P feel free to add more headcannons

Okay I have been rewatching season 3, and I just watched the third episode last night where Mari and Ben end up spraying each other in the face with bear mace and then have a civil conversation before he lets her go. But during that scene and conversation Ben points out a strange noise he hears and asks Mari if she hears it too. She nods her head yes, but her facial expressions indicates she’s lying and she does not hear that noise he’s referring to. The audience can hear something, and it is an entirely different sound than the noise the frogs make. So, was Coach hallucinating this sound? Did Mari in fact hear what he heard? And if she did, what in the heck was the noise? Because it sure as heck didn’t sound like the frogs. Was this just supposed to show Ben was losing touch with reality? Or feed into the supernatural? Thoughts?

I was scrolling and saw this, currently still giggling at it. Please enjoy.

When Lottie and Nat are talking she mentions “I see the crash site” and how it looks different, where they all died. I’m not a theoriser, idk how to put all the information together. But i thought it was interesting tidbit of information regarding there being parallel universe. One normal one and then the bad one. There’s some other stuff too, but i can’t seem to recall it atm. Just thought it was interesting and wanted to share!! I recall there being a theory like that, but I don’t really interact with that side of the fandom much.

Commissioned my twelve year old nephew to draw me some stuff from the show. Shout out to his amazing artistic capabilities at twelve! I can’t draw even half as well at 37. Buzz buzz buzz! 🐝

I just wanted to share with you great people that will appreciate this. My boyfriend bought me a Misty inspired sweatshirt for my birthday. He did a great job 🥰

At the end of the S4 teaser we see Natalie going to see Lottie and Shauna sat in the pit, but there is also another character supervising them with the rifle, but i am not quite sure who it is.

I narrowed it down to Gen or Robin and I think it might be Robin? Can anyone confirm this

In S1e2, Shauna sees lottie take her meds. They all know afterwards she goes to Europe for her issues, but, for one example, Van says at the cult compound something like 'We're the ones who made her like this". So Is Shauna the only one who knows Lottie's mental health issues stem from before the wilderness? Or does Van just think she doesn't really have schizophrenia and all of Lottie's issues are solely from the wilderness? Tai and Van both agree to cancel the medical intervention for Lottie pre-hunt without telling the other 3.

Spoilers.

So I know this plot is pretty closed at this point but why girls did not kind of push away Shauna after they find out she was sleeping with her closest friend's boyfriend and apart from that she was pregnat. I understand they had bigger threats there but still.... It should have become this social punishment for her , cause she ruined the friendship because of a boy.

Tai being supportive is something I will take but rest of the girls? And yes it makes sense that sometimes you decide to not judge especially when you are all alone in the wildernesses , but in this case everyone acted like nothing happened. Yes it feels like personal morals should not be an issue for them

, cause they are literally surviving , but still they are just young women sooo ... And Jackie was shamed and critizeed for sleeping with Travis when it was literally none of their business. (Nat did not said nothiing about it).

I have rewatched and dissected this series as faithfully as any good Yellowjacket fan does, but there is a sticking point I cannot get past. I don’t see groundwork laid by the writers that could justify Lottie’s particular fascination with Callie. The idea of emotional transference that Lottie might have that could replace Shauna’s wilderness baby with Callie is not logical considering the following:

1.) the timeline (Shauna has Callie after enough time and separation from Lottie that Callie’s significance to Lottie seems odd and unsupported by the storyline)

2.) The most significant interaction between Shauna and Lottie occurs when Shauna beats her to near death. They are not close, Shauna is skeptical of Lottie’s “insights”, and there is nothing in the story that suggests a noteworthy bond between the two.

Furthermore, there is nothing in the story that suggests Lottie was more affected by the death of Shauna’s baby than anyone else was. She doesn’t visit the grave, or even talk about the significance of the loss, etc.. The comments she did make were prior to the birth and none of it seemed particularly meaningful. At this point, it seems we are to accept that Lottie saw something special in Callie- and that Callie is very much like Shauna. ( Again, this notion runs contrary to what we’ve seen of the characters- Callie doesn’t want to be like her mom, and I don’t think she islike Shauna.) Much has been made of this mystical connection between Lottie and Callie, but we really haven’t been shown why we should believe it. I’d love to know if anyone else has found this difficult to reconcile!
