just saw a tiktok comment saying “Jackie is so real for having a huge argument with Shauna and then literally dying right after” and it’s the best thing i’ve seen all week

1996 Yellowjackets and whether they identified as feminists
This is the side result of me pondering how there should be more Bikini Kill in the soundtrack after I saw a teen Nat fanart with a Bikini Kill patch on his jacket.
Jackie: Yes, but it's very much the sugar-coated "girl power" feminism.
Shauna: Yes. She's read The Feminine Mystique and is into the riot grrrl movement.
Van: Yes. She's very much into Les Feinberg and loves reading Dykes to Watch Out for in the local alt-weekly. She also loves Sleater-Kinney.
Tai: She read This Bridge Called My Back and a lot of Crenshaw and Walker to ready herself for Howard's admission process. She identifies as a woman. Once she and Nat were too drunk at a party and discussed how the Riot Grrl movement excluded them.
Nat: He wants to, he does. He loves zines and the "girls to the front" at shows. But he also realizes that the riot grrrl movement doesn't include bi girls from the trailer park who really like it when someone calls them a boy. So not right now.
Lottie: Yes. She loves the riot grrl zines Nat shares with her. Much to Nat's chagrin, she also loves the girl power pumped out by the Spice Girls because she likes being reassured you can be a feminist and still wear a wonder bra.
Misty: Is a girl scout. Naturally.

long time no YJ brainrot theory, buuuut- choosing heliotrope as the color symbol for sunshine honey was pretty excellent writing on ash/bart/liscos’ collective parts. along with the name heliotrope, the flower is also heliocentric. its blossoms turn and follow the sun, like sunflowers. to have this specific detail in the adult timeline parallels the teen timeline and their present predicament in the wilderness. it’s horribly cold, snow is everywhere, food is scarce and morale is low.
in adult timeline, lottie is the sun. their light in the darkness, their provider of warmth and food (in terms of specific perspectives), and their hope for joy and something better every morning. in both timelines, lottie’s followers behave as if they were heliocentric. she takes the circle sessions in the morning and in season 2 she stands on that platform in front of the lake, at the highest point (figuratively), at the compound.
but what happens when the sun is gone? (learned this fact yesterday and immediately thought of this. ik the theories r exhausted, lmk if anyone else’s brain has gone into a frenzy over this lmao)

Allie being the only character to have a Jersey accent is so funny.
Like, Shauna never had one, Tai never had one (despite the likelihood that Tawny has a natural Philly/Jersey accent), Misty never had one.
But Allie somehow got one.
