The final chapter of always be my baby is now up. I don’t have the words to say everything I want to about this story coming to a close (though you’ll laugh at that if you make it through my authors note lol) so: thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy archiveofourown.org/works/391666...
I missed this series so dearly. Happy jackieshauna weekend season three đź’› archiveofourown.org/works/629000...
I’ve never seen arcane either so I just had this nagging like “I know this voice” feeling until I realized lmao
Lmao kind of?? there’s an audio clip of her saying “because you know in a moment in could all…boom” and yes people are using it in videos with either on screen text or captions with information about the horrors
Really crazy times when the audio being used as a backdrop in videos about the literal fascist takeover of the united states is a clip of ella purnell’s voice acting…..my brain is really struggling to parse any input right now and this is really pushing it over the edge
Researching mythological associations with the infinity symbol and seeing the phrase “eternal return” everywhere I’m sure that means nothing
When did you fall out of love with dad?
It's not that...it’s so complicated. With your dad and me, there's a lot of baggage.
Baggage? You mean jackie.
This is so funny bc I have not gotten to s2 yet this is purely about s1 lmao. it’s a LOT with Ben lol and her date in the pilot etc
Honestly everything she’s just around men a lot or thinking about men a lot lmao
Rereading the first two fics in this series to hopefully finish the third and apparently I wrote melissa pov back in october 2023
But she def looks more like ella than either shauna to ME
This won’t be what happens I’m sure it’s a flashback and Shauna’s mom I just never thought we’d get younger shauna for some reason tbh
all I’m saying is slap a shitty blonde wig on her and she’s the life ruining obsessive affair that makes adam look like nothing
Misty is the only one who does things that make me cringe so hard I still have a physical reaction after this many rewatches. I can’t tell if that’s actually down to her behavior itself or if it’s that the behavior is often related to men and that’s the part that gets me
i’ll probably go back and do more touch ups / rendering to this 🩷but melanie lynskey
Taissa hallucinating the wolves would’ve hit so hard if van were dead
Travis should never have been allowed to touch the gun again btw sometimes I wonder if I’m remembering it right and I assume I’m making it worse in my head but actually I think I forget just how bad it was
SEVERELY underrated scene is Mari doing the practice shots and almost making the hunter cut. When she turns around in her yellow hoodie and yells SHUT UP TRAVIS phenomenal I love her bad
Bonus points for the wave of nausea every time javi comes on screen, extra bonus points every time shauna interacts with him
Rewatching season one and crying every time adult nat comes on screen because it’s finally sunk in that she really went out like that (yes I am currently on bear down)
One of my favorite things about jackie is that not only does she hate men she also visibly loses respect for women who like them in front of her
S1 rewatch continues and I think one of the threads I’m most disappointed they’ve seemingly dropped is Sammy and his behavioral/trauma/implicitly questionably supernatural stuff. It felt like they were building that to something bigger with it and they fizzled out and redirected
Somebody told alexa to look the saddest and prettiest she possibly could and she took that shit seriously

A lot of wonderful people joined in, but on the bluesky I can tag @tabithatwo.bsky.social @veratrines.bsky.social @malicea4tht.bsky.social @southbysoutheast.bsky.social @liveorganism.bsky.social and @oyeone89.bsky.social
I have to be honest. The thing that requires me to suspend the MOST belief on yellowjackets is that nobody killed misty quigley in a fit of rage. “But she was their doctor—“ Akilah was right there, AND they agreed to kill their best hunter at one point so I don’t want to hear that
The juxtaposition of shaunajeff and taisimone scenes makes it clear how awful shauna+jeff’s relationship is and how miserable shauna is in it. Neither of them are able to commit to their families but tai is actually enjoying simone most of the time tbh. also clear that shauna is the one CAGED tf in
Every time I watch f sharp and taissa comes home with the apology pastelitos she gets hotter. it shouldn’t be possible to get hotter than the hottest a person can possibly be. and yet. we keep going up
Continuing my rewatch and misty tourniqueting travis’s arm for a cut that had already stopped bleeding is sending me. she is trying to collect men’s limbs she wanted that arm too
