Random thought but do y’all think there was an awkward moment after the card draw/hunt where Nat took off the heart necklace and gave it back to Shauna like “welp, you guys didn’t kill me so do you want your dead homoerotic best friend’s symbolic necklace back?”

Nat’s commitment to the grunge aesthetic is next level because she just cannibalized her teammate last night and is now hiking for miles to hide the scraps of left of the body and girlie still makes sure to rock a lil smokey black eyeliner for the occasion

Let’s talk about one of the most underrated dynamics in Yellowjackets: Nat and Tai
Nat and Tai have such a troubled little sister/protective big sister dynamic that is not talked about enough.
Before the crash, there is clearly a lot of tension in Nat and Tai’s relationship. Their personalities clash a bit, as Tai is driven and ambitious while Nat is more reckless and directionless. Tai doesn’t understand Nat’s drug use and promiscuity and openly criticizes her for it. Tai is focused on the success of the team and she sees Nat and her behavior as an obstacle to this success.
However, I think there is some care behind her harsh statements. We can see her tough love approach towards Nat starting to develop. She wants Nat to get better, she just has a gruff way of showing it.
We see Tai begin to develop more of a softness for Nat after the crash. I think, as Tai begins to experience what it feels what it’s like to be in survival mode (and starts to lose control of herself) as Nat has been for most of her life, she begins to understand Nat and her coping mechanisms more.
Another important part of their dynamic is that they were the last two skeptics remaining in the Wilderness. When Natalie would challenge Lottie, Tai was often the first (and only) person to back her up. They are both grounded in pragmatism and logic.
Nat and Tai also have the shared experience of watching their partners “go the the dark side” (AKA join Lottie’s cult). Van and Travis are arguably some of Lottie’s most devoted followers towards the end of Season 2, and both Tai and Nat struggle to grapple with this and the rift it creates in their respective romantic relationships.
After they are rescued, Taissa manages to pick herself back up while Nat falls apart, and their little sister/big sister dynamic grows even more as a result. Tai pays for Nat’s rehab, tries to keep her away from Travis because she knows he’s bad for her, keeps pulling her back up and trying to keep her on her feet. I think it says a lot that Tai is the first person Nat thinks to call when she’s arrested.
And then, of course, there’s the scene where Tai defends her decision to pay for Nat’s rehab and continue to try to keep her clean. This scene breaks my heart and shows the caretaker role Taissa has taken on for Nat after the crash. She understands why Nat copes the way she does, and she knows that, unlike Shauna and herself, Nat doesn’t have a support system to rely on.
Even when Nat is being crowned as the new AQ I feel like you can see the concern on Tai’s face. Tai pledges her support of Nat’s new leadership, but you can tell she is also wary of the burden being placed on Nat, and how that might affect her.
Tai’s face is somber like she’s worried about her, but she gives Nat’s hand a small little squeeze of reassurance.
Anyways, I just love how Nat and Tai’s relationship transforms and grows over time. Tai has an empathy and care for Nat that the other survivors just don’t seem to have. I can’t wait to see more of their dynamic post-rescue as Tai struggles to keep Nat afloat and pick up the pieces after her toxic stints with Travis.
This has been way longer than I intended it to be, I’ll just leave y’all with this last clip of Nat giving petulant little sister vibes with Tai that I absolutely love…

I can’t get over this promo photo because we have Coach Ben serving us a fruity little leg pop, Misty looking like she’s about to drop a diabolical deuce (you can see the fear in her eyes), Tai and Shauna both giving us Disney Channel power poses, Jackie rocking her full Walmart little boy’s section attire, and Nat squatting in some leaves for some reason (crouching?? on something? but she’s not at ground level? is she levitating?)

This scene is so funny to me bc like aww look at Shauna and Nat’s silly little macho guys at the gym trying to be all tough. Jeff with his fingerless gloves and Kevyn with his backwards baseball cap meanwhile Shauna and Nat are off somewhere committing murders and joining cults.
