THE YEARNING FOR TEENAGE ROMANCE ISS SOO FUCK.. LIKE PLEASE PLEASE I WANNA FALL IN LOVE WITH A BOY BEFORE I GRADUATE.. the need to fall in love and be able to be innocently in love is so
i understand the whole "she's supposed to be spiraling, let women be evil" argument in defense of shauna, i understand that yellowjackets has been a dark and gory show from the get go, and i understand that mari's death/sacrifice was necessary. but when you are releasing media into the world, you are sending out a message. every choice made in a piece of media is intentional.
mari was stripped of her clothes and dignity, dragged naked through the snow, hung upside down, carved, scalped, cooked, and served as food to the team, with shauna demanding to wear mari's hair as a trophy.
mari was also one of the best written characters on the show, taking her from an annoying jv side character to an important part of the story (her last name reveal i cheered so loud). she never once took shauna's bs and made it clear from the start that she was just the decoy. she was loved by all her friends and teammates, and it's evident when you realize that the hunt was a ploy to keep shauna distracted from nat's venture to get help, and that none of the yellowjackets actually wanted to hunt mari. mari's sacrifice for the sake of the team (despite her pulling the queen card being an accident) was one last act of defiance in the face of shauna's tyranny and the dictatorship that came with her reign.
idgaf about the fact that all the victims have to be naked to be cooked and butchered, and i don't care that shauna was seen using hannah's old hair as a fidget toy in ep 09 to defend the scalping, every choice made with mari's slaughter was an intentional one, and it leaves such a bad taste when you view it in the context of how every other woc in the show was treated.
i don't know what the writers were plotting in the writer's room, but there were better ways to handle mari's death/slaughter.
Well, I need more people to go read Compound Fracture by Andrew Joseph White.
Hey just a general PSA from someone officially diagnosed and documented:
Now is not the time to seek out an autism diagnosis.
RFK's plans have been made very clear and any diagnosis you do get will get you put on this "national disease registry" they're proposing.
Trust me when I say I completely understand the need for accommodations and a better understanding of yourself, but if you have gone this long without being diagnosed, you will be better off waiting.
Furthermore, listen to and advocate for folks who are diagnosed, especially folks with higher support needs. They'll be the first ones targeted for whatever bullshit "experimental treatments" the government tries to push.
Stay safe and look out for your neighbor.
Mari’s death was so dehumanising, of course since the pilot we’ve been knowing whoever pit girl was her death was going to be disturbing but the scalping was so unnecessary, especially since Mari is a person of colour . I think the writers where maybe trying to make Shauna more like brutal with Mari’s death because they have a mutual disliking towards on another, but they’re are so many other ways to do that, it’s just shitty writing and atp it’s clear the writers are racist
