#or how it felt like a bit too early to kill a modern timeline survivor but tbh i think probably juliette didnt want to stay on the show

like okay the thing is. the show is about characters who were hunting each other and eating each other in the wilderness so i just think. well. it was never gonna have a nat arc that tells her you're okay baby and your life has value sweetheart. like if it was a different show and nat simply had struggles with drugs and suicidal ideation because of the shit that happened with her abusive father and stuff and then she ultimately died tragically while trying to recover that could really be quite questionable but like. that's not the story? she wasn't getting better she was getting into a cult. that was led by the unstable old friend she was in a cannibal cult with before. she wasn't getting better she was getting into a cult mentality that's why her behavior was so strange people were thinking she's manipulating lottie when in fact she was just getting indoctrinated

i do NOT think it was meant to be a "redemption arc" either like i've seen people say. i do not think it was supposed to FEEL like redemption that's why it DIDN'T. you weren't supposed to be tearing up like oh but with this death she made up for everything they did out there. she never could! none of them ever can! it's not about that. i think it's supposed to be tragic in a preventable way to parallel jackie's death in a way. a different set of circumstances allowed her to survive in the wilderness and doomed her in the present. she saw a moose and brought people to the lake to make a hole in the ice and pull out the moose. the ice wasn't as strong in that place which is probably why javi stepping on there broke the ice. and she was gonna save javi but misty stopped her. and this time misty found her and called for everyone to come because she was there and nat's visions at lottie's cult set off the chain of events. and this time misty's attempt to save her just led to her death instead. nat's attempt to save lisa's life led to nat losing hers like javi's attempt to save nat's life led to javi losing his

#like totally there with you abt pacing or how many different changes to the script and editing could make this better #or how it felt like a bit too early to kill a modern timeline survivor but tbh i think probably juliette didnt want to stay on the show #i think she has a habit of not staying for long #but she wasnt getting better and sadly i do not think any of those characters are getting a happy ending #she was never gonna be allowed to recover #one of my literal issues is the walter bullshit bc it attempts to? what? insinuate there os someone they think #is* #is perfect for misty and she can live a life where she has Connection and Mutual Love #which! no she cant #in part bc he was never THERE #get rid of walter #anyways none of them are gonna get a happy ending #if modern timeline writing improves it will just mean things will get much worse for them all imo #echoing nat's words to jackie abt her being lucky bc things will get worse #like that maybe she was lucky to die first in the modern timeline bc things will get worse #anyway #thinking! #yellowjackets spoilers #yellowjackets blogging #nat
