R.F. Kuang has been slaughtering me this whole book, but when she said, "We have to die to get their pity. We have to die for them to find us noble. Our deaths are great acts of rebellion, a wretched lament that highlights their inhumanity. Our deaths become their battle cry. But I don't want to die." Oh, I felt that.

#WHO LET R.F.KUANG COOK #babel #ALL IM LEFT WITH IS GRIEF OVER THIS BOOK

i call jackie a loser girlfailure so often because if i let myself face the affection i have for her it makes me sad. like what do you mean this girl who was so nice to everyone and who loved her best friend and her team and soccer and was excited to graduate high school and excited to go to college and excited to live her life died from hypothermia while feeling alone confused betrayed and abandoned. just because she didn't have what it takes to survive in the wilderness. the majority of people don't have what it takes, she was just the one that got unlucky enough to have to try. and she tried so hard it's heartbreaking, it was like watching an insect thrash in a spiderweb. her trying to reinvent her leadership but getting it all wrong, operating the woods like a high school that needs to have parties and dances and sleepovers. it was her unconscious escapism from having to face actually losing all that, and she had to die because of it. a seventeen year old girl died because she didn't want to trade dressing up painting nails and gossiping for the law of the jungle that was being forced on her. "she would have wanted that" they say as they eat her body and the truth is no, no she wouldn't have. she would be horrified and she would cry and sob if she knew what they did to her, because she was just a scared confused teenage girl and not a noble self-sacrificing hero or a patron saint

mari is so funny i hope she never gets a backstory or emotional depth. she’s in the woods to cook stew and be a hater. and they’re all out of stew

[projectchromie]

also i'm like. Obsessed with jeff's whole thing. he's so fucking boring. he owns a furniture store. he was homecoming king. he has vanilla fantasies. he married his high school girlfriend's bff whom he slept with on the side. he keeps himself in top physical shape. he's having an affair--except, no, he's actually just in debt and blackmailed the yellowjackets so he could keep shauna living a comfortable life because he loves her, and oh yeah, the stuff he's using for blackmail? it's shauna's firsthand account of all the truly fucked up shit she did in the wilderness. he's known forever. he doesn't care! he loves his wife! she had an affair and murdered the guy, he doesn't care! he'll go to prison for her! he'll burn the evidence! shut the fuck up, jackie's parents! his wife is so smart and cool! he chooses her over the glorified memory of your dead daughter any day! it's shauna appreciation 24/7/365 baby! he literally just wants to provide for and look hot for his wife & make her happy. the really insane thing is he can't. of course he can't. he's just jeff, he's boring, he's not of the wilderness, he's completely irrelevant. he's not jackie. can't wait to see whatever fucked up thing shauna does next and how jeff is like yes ma'am about it

#Jeff will always be so real for that #yellowjackets

As someone who is both an older sister and raised their younger sibling, let me tell you why this scene was so good

It would be so easy to misinterpret Yang’s protectiveness over Blake here, but that’s not what’s happening. We’ve always seen Ruby as happy-go-lucky, follow-your-heart and do-the-right-thing, and it’s easy to forget that Yang raised Ruby, and the implied subtext there is that it *wasn’t* always sunshine and rainbows.

Yes, Yang is protective over her newfound relationship. Yes, she’ll maybe feel a little wounded that her sister is lashing out. But what we see here is Yang shifting ever so subtly into mother-mode. Yang knows this isn’t about Blake, or her and Blake’s relationship, she’s stepping in front of Blake to protect her before Ruby can say or do something she regrets. In essence, protecting both of them and trying to control the situation from escalating. Yang is stepping in front because she can take it, because god knows she’s probably had to, at some point, take some lip in the past while the others have only ever known her as a strong, positive leader. She doesn’t shout at Ruby, she’s calm, lets her get it out and just looks sternly with a simple “Hey!” as in, ‘hey, that’s enough now’. 

Yang has expressed concern, and is concerned, but this is 100% Yang shifting into parent mode. This is brilliant because earlier in the episode and even last episode we’ve seen examples of Yang’s ‘concerned big sister’ side which is soft and supportive. There’s no malice in Yang’s expression, and it’s difficult to catch it because we haven’t had the best representations of ‘good mothers’ in the show, especially not ones that have had to chastise their kids at some point, but you can bet your ass that this is Yang’s parental mode stepping in to bring calm and stability to a chaotic situation. And that doesn’t always present as ‘let’s hug this out’, sometimes it’s stern, tough love and recognising that the younger one isn’t in the space to receive comfort, so the best you can do for them is diffuse the situation and be an authoritative voice of reason because she recognises her sister’s fragile mental state.

This is without going into how amazing Ruby’s portrayal was. Going after your sister’s new relationship is RAW, and personal, but it’s also what siblings do - they lash out sometimes when they’re under stress. The way Ruby says ‘we’re sOoOo happy for you by the way good for you’ - just SMACKS of younger sibling cutting loose and saying something they don’t mean, which makes Yang’s response all the more realistic for me. She recognises the tone, the almost-petulance and steps in before it can go any further.

It’s so subtle, but it SPOKE to me so massive kudos to Miles Luna and the animators for this. And god bless the clowns that use it as some sort of Anti-Bees discourse - the nuance is entirely lost on you.

#this ep broke me #god forbid yang is SELFISH ONE TIME #they all need to be happy #ruby needs a hug 😫 #bumbleby #ruby rose #rwby #yang xiao long #rwby spoilers

if you ever feel bad about your flirting abilities just remember that yang told blake she has a really good brain and blake had her tongue down yang’s throat not even 15 minutes after that
