I totally think jackie and shauna practiced kissing with each other

Yellowjackets Prediction:

Antler Queen/Final Boss is Tai

I feel like this makes perfect sense and is not talked about at all. Tai’s dark persona taking over is really being hinted at this season and it makes sense that the girls will go for that after Shauna (inevitably) goes off the rails and ruins their chance to go home.

It’s even hinted at in the final image of the title sequence plus the wilderness is always giving her stuff (Van getting better, Tai is the most successful of all the girls to come home). I feel like the creepy man she sees everywhere is this dark persona that takes over her and the show is building up to her finally giving in to it.

Mari to Shauna as soon as she dies and gets to the Afterlife:

One thing about Shauna and her beef with Mari is that she wants to be respected and worshipped and if she can't have that she want people to fear her. And Mari never did either. Mari never worshipped her nor felt like she had to walk around eggshells around Shauna like everyone else did. She didn't pity her. And she wasn't scared of her. Which is kind of stupid at times, but also really telling. The others saw Shauna as if she was the Terminator, but Mari always saw her as a pathetic teenage girl with a lot of insecurities. Which is how Shauna feels deep down and it drove her mad, having someone whose very presence reminded her of those insecurities. And she becomes leader and and Mari still wasn't afraid of her! She becomes Nat's biggest supporter instead! Nope, she never showed her fear toward Shauna. Not even when she was hunted. She was afraid of dying. Not of Shauna. Mari didn't even give Shauna the pleasure of looking her in the eye when she put the necklace on her. Shauna never had the treat of seeing fear in Mari's eyes. Instead Mari tried to take her out with a knife and then told Shauna off one last time, telling her she deserves everything (bad) that's gonna happen to her.

No respect. No fear. Ever. The only time Shauna could have any control over Mari was after Mari was dead. Which says a lot about Mari as a person.

The one plot hole I'll never accept in Yellowjackets is that Shauna was allegedly a normal stay at home mom for 15 years and only started acting out in season 1 there is no way that gremlin (affectionate) survived for 15 years on the joys of motherhood and the occasional butchered rabbit alone I'm gonna need a record of every suspicious death in New Jersey for the past two decades I'm 100% convinced she was a serial killer on the side

guilt? or righteousness?

betrayal? or regret?

i stg “are you sure you remember how to do that? because you used to force me to do it for you.” is how nat DEFINITELY wanted to finish that sentence to shauna when they were cutting up adam’s body

GHOST JACKIE WAS TRYING TO SAVE THAT MAN’S LIFE

i can’t wait for the transition between the insanely violent & violently insane antler queen shauna shipman into the shauna “so long as nobody does anything crazy” sadecki in the s1 adult timeline.

and i also can’t wait for adult shauna’s psychological devolution back into an antler queen.

jeff has my heart so far this episode, he's so precious (also the freezer scene goes so crazy holy shit)

OH SHIT JACKIE HI BABY

love to see the gays backing each other up

That’s my man and ima stick beside him💯💯💯

Lord forgive me but I’m faded as hell off that toxic yuri cart😮‍💨😮‍💨

YELLOWJACKETS 3x08 "A Normal, Boring Life" / 1x06 "Saints"

Shauna Shipman - The true evil.

SEASON 3 SPOILERS

Before you keep reading, please do not try and rebuttal this post with, "You just don't understand a complex character."

I can understand the complexity of a character, and still dislike them.

During season 3, I became a Shauna Shipman hater and began wishing on her down fall, and it was genuinely infuriating to me watching her fall from my top 3 down to the very bottom. I went into season 3 loving teen Shauna AND adult Shauna (Melanie Lynskey stan btw).

I understood Shauna's anger and resentment towards the group in the beginning of the season. Shauna has arguably been through the most trauma out in the wilderness, with her going through a teen pregnancy, only for it to result in a stillborn (especially after having such vivid dreams of the baby being alive and her nursing him) and losing her bestfriend who she both loved and resented and having to eat her, with their last words shared with one another being an argument.

So when I found out that the others were literally praying to the spirit of her deceased baby (and Jackie), I was gob smacked. I stayed on the Shauna Ship because if that was me, I would've been pissed too. And Akilah trying to give Shauna a "special crown" because she's the mother was so disrespectful. I love Akilah, but I have to side with Shauna on this one. It was messed up, and I do not blame Shauna for moving the burial site without telling anyone.

But then the beef with Mari happened. I do get it, Mari was being a huge bitch, which wasn't really a huge surprise if you've watched the past two seasons. But literally spitting in Mari's food and then lying about it was crazy disrespectful, especially because food is a rarity for them. And then showing literally no care when Mari went missing. Someone pointed out that they think that Mari and Shauna beef originated in season 1 because Jackie used Mari to make Shauna jealous when they first went to the lake, and I believe it.

At this point in the season, I'm like, "Okay, Shauna's really derailing, but I can understand where her anger is coming from."

But then we have the trial of Coach Benjamin Scott. The way that Shauna resorted to intimidation to get the majority to vote to execute Ben was so frustrating. Everyone was conflicted and the vote was 50/50, UNTIL Shauna scared them. Which to be fair, if I was there, I probably would've voted to kill Ben, not because I believe that he was guilty, but because Shauna is literally terrifying. Especially the Achilles heel scene. Vile. Disgusting and disturbing.

Then Shauna gets crowned as leader, and my first thought was, "That is literally the worst choice you could've ever made, Lottie." Shauna is clearly not all their mentally right now and they've all been a first hand witness to her anger. Shauna is a terrible leader because she doesn't give a shit about the others, she hates all of them, which means she doesn't care about their safety and wellbeing, which is what a leader is supposed to do.

Don't even get me fucking started on Melissa being a devil on her shoulder at the start; "You feel that? That's power." Melissa pissed me off in the beginning, because she was literally throwing a whole forest onto the fire brewing inside of Shauna.

At this point in the show, I'm thinking, "Shauna is the worst, and it sucks that no one is saying anything about it."

But at that point, Shauna hasn't really done anything TOO crazy for anyone to be like, "This bitch is fucking crazy, she has to go."

Then the frog researchers show up. The way Shauna laughed and smiled her ass off when she witnessed the guy getting axed by Lottie, was genuinely pissing me off and disturbing. Also, I do not believe Shauna cared about Melissa's wellbeing when she got shot. The way she was so nonchalant about it did not seem genuine. Keeping Hannah's hair as a little fidget toy was a little weird, but not the weirdest thing they've done, so that gets a little pass.

Shauna choosing to stay infuriated me, but I could understand WHY she didn't want to leave. She's become accustomed to the wilderness. Her whole life revolved around Jackie, so what is her life going to look like without Jackie if she goes back to the real world? I believe her reason to stay was both fear and control. Shauna has all the power now. She's the leader. And she uses that to force the others to stay. And Natalie just letting her take the gun was so frustrating.

But the whole showdown between Shauna and Melissa was actually so fucked. I felt so bad for Melissa, because Shauna verbally berated her in front of everyone, shot at her and then smiled when Melissa wet herself.

At this point, Shauna has become irredeemable. She is thriving on violence and chaos, no matter where it is coming from and who it's directed at. You cannot convince me or tell me anything that could ever excuse that type of behavior, especially towards someone who Shauna is supposed to be in a relationship with (I used the word relationship loosely, btw). It's abuse.

At this point, I'm waiting for someone to humble her ass. Slap her back to reality or something.

And then, the finale happens. Mari gets the Queen, and Shauna shows no remorse or sadness. Mocking her by saying, "Tough break, Mar." and then laughing when Lottie starts counting. And if you notice, Shauna is literally the only person hunting Mari (which I made a whole separate post about). Watching the realisation on Shauna's face that 'Natalie' was actually Hannah, was so satisfying. It's almost as if the iron grip of control Shauna currently holds on the group begins to weaken before her eyes, especially when she turns and sees the others staring at her, fully aware of what has happened.

I loved Shauna Shipman in season 1 and 2, but she become a dictator in season 3. I could see where her anger and resentment towards the group originated from and even supported some of the actions she made BECAUSE of that resentment, but there are a lot of her actions that I cannot see reason to, other than doing malicious things without any real motive behind her actions, besides to enjoy watching people suffer.

(I am also aware of the racial discussion of cutting Mari's hair after her death. Not just that, but also how the show treats their POC characters in general. I've seen a lot of debates about this (Mari) and I do believe that there were some racist implications with choosing to use the hair of an indigenous person. I do think there is a difference between intent and how something is perceived. Just because the writers didn't intend for the scene to be offensive or racist, doesn't mean that it doesn't come off that way to their audience.)

Yellowjackets Season 3 Finale - Shauna Shipman

SPOILERS BELOW

It's crazy to hear Adult Shauna claiming that "We were having so much fun out there." Because if you watch episode 10 of season 3, you'll realise that Shauna is quite literally the only person who is hunting Mari. (I know that there are like 2 other characters, Robin and someone else, but I didn't include them because they're only background characters)

Travis was definitely drunk and most likely stayed back, because the last time we see him after the cards is after the grace period countdown.

Lottie found Mari but wasn't actively trying to kill her, and even tried to warn her about the pit, saying Mari's been here before.

Akilah was involved in the plan, as she killed all the animals so the others (specifically Lottie) could be convinced that the wilderness was upset and they needed another hunt.

Misty was involved in the plan.

Gen lured Taissa away to give Mari a chance to live.

Van obviously didn't want to kill Mari, as she tried to give the Queen to Hannah before Shauna caught on and moved spots.

Natalie went back for the radio phone and left to the mountains.

Hannah found her and helped with the plan to help Natalie escape.

Melissa tried killing Shauna, which was the only time we saw her during the hunt. I'm convinced she was most likely stalking Shauna, and used the moment Taissa and Gen had left, to strike.

Taissa wasn't actively hunting Mari during the hunt. Yes, she was staying close to Shauna, but she was also trying to divert her attention, I.E. trying to convince Shauna that the tracks they found weren't Mari's. I also think she was also keeping an eye on Shauna during the hunt, making sure she didn't find Natalie, but I think her love for Van definitely outweighs rescue, which was why she went with Gen.

Shauna is the only person during the hunt to be actively trying to find Mari and kill her. None of the others are after Mari, because most of them were involved in the plan, which was to distract Shauna long enough for Natalie to leave with the radio phone. Which was why you can hear them still making the animal noises during the hunt. It wouldn't be seen as a real hunt if they didn't make noise to convince Shauna.

It's hard to tell who exactly is part of the plan, but my current analysis is; Natalie, Van, Misty, Akilah, Mari and Melissa. Melissa probably joined the plan after Shauna nearly shot her. Taissa probably was aware of the plan due to Van trusting her. I SERIOUSLY doubt Lottie was involved in the plan, for obvious reasons. Hannah definitely wasn't part of the plan UNTIL she found Natalie with the phone. Gen and Travis, I'm 50/50 on whether or not they were involved. I think Travis has mentally checked out this season, so it's really hard to tell.
