[nataliesscatorccio]

you don't have to believe me but adult Allie is the fulfillment of Jackie's unlived life let me explain. straightaway Allie is positioned under Jackie's wing, both girls absent from the team singing and dancing together between the lockers. Jackie is doing Allie's facepaint and giving her a pep talk like the one she's immediately about to receive from Coach Martinez. ready or not, these girls have responsibilities on their shoulders now that are above their skill level—and if they can't perform they'll be cut out. Allie is too concerned with prom and dates while the other girls are concerned with winning nationals; Jackie eventually dies for prioritizing what the group come to feel are the wrong things. Allie and Jackie, with their preoccupation for the functionally useless achievement markers of society, stand in the way of the team's survival. Allie, like Jackie, obliviously says the wrong thing with good intention, accidentally prioritizes her needs over the needs of the group (and yes i do count Shauna's wellbeing as a need for Jackie), and ultimately will be sacrificed in a horrible and graphic way when the team decides they can't move forward and win (read: survive) with her holding them back. Allie's leg is destroyed, but it's seen as a kindness when compared to the extent of the agony getting on the plane bound for nationals would have brought her. Jackie's death is heartbreaking, but Natalie knows right away that it was lucky for her to die then, because things were going to get worse. it's easy to believe the narrative Shauna later acts out to fulfill Jackie's life. but she's a writer, and a liar, and neither Jackie nor Shauna knew the other as well as they wanted to think. in some ways it's just a story Shauna is telling herself. the not unspoken truth is that Jeff was the high school boyfriend. and at the twenty-five year reunion Jackie wouldn't have been sitting next to him, Shauna did not take her place. Jackie would have been organizing the get together, quoting worddefinition.net (*Beaches) in her speech, offending someone, forcing people into group photos, and making cheesy nostalgiabait slideshows to Enya.

i'm sure it was already pointed out, but it's just so tragicomic to me how this show turns gestures that are meant to be hopeful or cute into absolute jinxes.

like, laura lee's prayer before the scrimmage? it fucking ends with allie's bone out of her damn knee. might have as well kept that amen for yourself, laura.

jackie giving shauna the necklace so that "nothing can touch you now"? good touch with that, jacqueline. you know what is certainly not touching your pregnant friend shauna? the hands of an experienced gynaecologist, that's what.

whatever lottie said about shauna's baby being their collective hope for a new start? i'm not even commenting on that.

but yeah, you get the point. girls, im begging you, if you notice anything igniting the weakest spark of hope in you, please keep your mouth shut

Tai: Actually, girls can kiss other girls.

Allie: I know. I just... Think it's kinda weird.

*Sound of record scratch*

Yellowjackets: *Collectively stare at Allie*

Nat: Oooh, you did it now!

Yellowjackets: *One by one leave changing room, while not taking they eyes off Allie*

A Not-So-Brief and Hopefully Canon-Accurate Explanation of the 1996 WHS Yellowjackets Soccer Team

(Caveat: I am not an expert in soccer or soccer tactics, but as I’m writing I want to at least try to explain how I think this team functions on the field. I hope this is at least entertaining, and hopefully a resource.)

Formation

It seems like Coach Bill Martinez runs a classic 4-4-2, with four backs (two center backs, two full backs on the wings), four midfielders (two center, two side), and two forwards. Based on the glimpse we see of States in the pilot, we can make a few informed guesses as to who plays what role. However, we see the last few minutes of stoppage time, and don’t see certain named characters—specifically Mari—on the field. Substitutions were probably made.

Goalkeeper

Vanessa “Van” Palmer (No. 1). One of the few characters that we can definitively assign to a position. Good for Van!

Backs

Center Backs: Unknown and Unknown

We see No. 18 playing back, close to Van, and not advancing with the rest of the team—a purely defensive role. This may be the soon-to-be late Rachel Goldman.

Full Backs: Laura Lee (Left, No. 2) and Unknown

Laura Lee we see on the left wing, behind Allie and not advancing. To me this says she’s the full back on the left.

The other is probably Mari, who was subbed out earlier in the game or was otherwise not playing, but Mari could be a center back.

Midfielders

Center Midfielders: Shauna Shipman (Left-Center, No. 6) and Natalie Scatorccio (Right-Center, No. 7)

Shauna appears to be coordinating the offensive action on the left wing, trying to bail Allie out but playing too much of an attacking midfield role to drop back and bail her out without playing out of position—which Tai does.

Nat seems to be central as well, given that we see glimpses of her in some of the shots. She hustles at the start but throttles back which to me says she’s playing midfielder.

Side Midfielders: Allie Stevens (Left, No. 11) and Lottie Matthews (Right, No. 5)

Allie is a tricky player to place, because we only see her at her worst moment: far back, near the box, losing possession. I almost had her as a full back for this very reason. But she choked hard, which to me says she dropped back with the goal of advancing the ball up the wing and possibly doing what Tai does—get it to Shauna, get it back, get it to Jackie.

Like Nat, Lottie is hustling but remains distant from the antics of Allie’s botched advance. She seems more attenuated from the central pitch. Hence, she plays the right wing.

Forwards

Jackie Taylor (No. 9) and Taissa Turner (No. 8)

Again, this feels pretty straightforward. Jackie and Tai are both playing offense, though we see Tai bolt out of position to recover the ball when Allie blows it. Tai feeds the ball up to Shauna who feeds it back to Tai once she gets back into position. Jackie stays forward the whole time.

Hopefully this is helpful or interesting to someone!

it’s really funny that Taissa shattering Allie’s leg was probably the best thing that ever happened to her and it absolutely saved her life

i fucking HATE allie oh my fucking GODDD… HOW WAS THAT BITCH EVEN AT THE REUNION WHEN SHE’S CLASS OF 2000??????

[kimwexlers-brownhair]

Three questions since I finished the first season:

1. How come it never occurred to any of our survivors that Lottie was behind everything? The postcards, Travis's murder, or the blackmail (even though we learn that one was all Jeff)? She was the Antler Queen, yet no one thought of her when they saw the symbol on the postcard or the candle wax making that shape at Travis's murder scene? They must think she's dead, right, or otherwise out of the picture? Maybe faked her death?

2. How the hell did Van survive the fire on the plane? She was very, very stuck, and the fire was right behind her. But then she appeared out of nowhere to stare daggers at Jackie. Is she now an unkillable ghost who refuses to leave Tai behind? Even when wolves maul her spectral form? I mean, no. But weird, right?

And most important of all:

3. Why is adult Allie the only character with a New Jersey accent?

An insight into the characters based on their approach to the “Allie problem”

If good writing means that every scene has the potential to say something about a character at their core, then the girls' attitude towards the "Allie problem" is an interesting example.

Taissa

The one who comes up with the very plan. This establishes her as ambitious and extremely rational, but it’s the type of rationality that without grounded moral principles could degenerate into violence and cruelty at any time. It’s what we see with adult Misty and Walter, who are both so practical-minded that resorting to murder is nothing more than a smart option to choose to them.

Like Jackie says, Taissa has so much fight in her. The way she handles the Allie situation shows that if she has a goal, she’ll do whatever she finds necessary to obtain it.

How does that translate into their time in the wilderness?

Taissa’s the first to make the call that they should leave the plane and find water. She’s the one who sleeps in the attic when everyone else wouldn’t, she’s the only one who tries to tell Jackie she shouldn’t leave. And in season two, she’s the one who says, “We need to find a way to stay alive, and it can’t be her [: Lottie]”.

Then we see them drawing cards. We’re not shown how they get to that very decision exactly, but it’s important that we know that the two things are tied. The hunt that follows, their first conscious hunt (let’s not forget about Travis), wasn’t supposed to happen—it’s rather the consequence of the designed sacrifice refusing to take on the role.

Though there’s an obvious religious aspect to it, drawing cards isn’t just letting fate/the wilderness decide in their place so that they don’t blame themselves. It’s also the girls’ attempt to give the ritual some semblance of logic and structure—on a normal day, they would draw cards to decide who gets which task. They’re using the same mechanism, except that they’re now deciding who should die and get eaten. And it starts with Taissa’s very rational and straightforward remark about needing to survive.

Natalie

She openly and passionately goes against Taissa’s plan. Despite being presented as the outsider who doesn’t really engage with the team and disregards rules by smoking and doing drugs, she’s the one who fights to play fairly. She most likely doesn’t care about Allie personally, but she’s a teammate, and they should treat her as such.

While Tai’s ultimate goal is winning at Nationals, Natalie doesn’t want to win more than she wants to be a team (T: What’s your plan, then? / N: I dunno, play like a fucking team and win? It’s worked so far.).

It’s quite ironic—yet not that surprising—how, despite being opposites, Natalie and Jackie share a similar mindset about this.

The scene establishes Natalie as a sympathetic character with grounded and noble moral principles, no matter the adversities. In the wilderness, she’s the first and possibly the only one who acknowledges Travis’ grief and sees through his unsufferable attitude and understands that, as much as questionable his methods are, he’s trying to make sure Javi gets over their father’s death and wants to live on.

It's also meaningful that Natalie’s not there when Jackie and Shauna fight and Jackie ends up leaving the cabin. The night earlier, Natalie was the one who let her out when Lottie and the others locked her in and went to hunt Travis down. Natalie basically saves the girl who just had sex with Travis being perfectly aware that it would hurt her, and she doesn’t even know. Viewers do know, though, and we’re instinctively led to think of her as even more noble and deserving of empathy.

Jackie’s death certainly comes from an irrational choice, but the deepest reason is the others’ lack of sympathy towards her at the end of the season. It could be delusional, but I can’t see Natalie turning a blind eye on the whole thing, had she been there.

Jackie was their captain when they had a normal life. Natalie becomes their leader thanks to the constant effort she’s put into the group ever since they landed there—and possibly, as the matter with Allie shows, even before that.

Lottie

Lottie’s phrasing for her refusal is telling. She says, “It doesn’t feel right.” It’s not that she thinks it is, or that it seems like it is. She feels like they’re not meant to go through with it. A simple yet fitting choice of words foreshadows Lottie’s spiritual nature and her connection to the wilderness as well as her role of prophet/messiah.

It’s also important that she’s not shown as particularly proactive. She does express her opinion, but she’s not as passionate as Natalie about it, who instead actively tries to convince them what a terrible idea it is and interferes with Taissa’s plan on the field. This shows how Lottie never cared be a leader, but rather follows where her feelings lead her.

Van

We’re not really shown Van’s reaction until they’re in the locker room after the scrimmage. We just learn that she’s impressionable, as she almost throws up at Nat’s mention of Allie’s bone being visible, and that she’s so devoted to Tai that she won’t let Shauna talk shit about her at the party.

Laura Lee

Of course, nobody would even dream of telling Laura Lee about an act of such misconduct. She would never go along with Taissa’s plan, she wouldn’t even fathom doing something like this. She’s more clueless than Jackie, because Jackie at least did notice something was off on the field. Even at the party, Laura Lee is the only one who still has no idea there were such tensions.

Her blissful ignorance keeps her kind and pure, apart from the ruthless tendencies of the team. It doesn’t change once they’re in the wilderness—Laura Lee dies trying to help her friends, and she fortunately never gets to witness their worst moments.

Shauna

Unsurprisingly, Shauna’s a tough one. Her attitude towards the Allie situation is as ambivalent as it will be for the rest of the story towards everything else.

Shauna keeps her thoughts for herself until Nat and Lottie leave and it’s just her and Tai, and even then, the first thing she says is, “Jackie’s not gonna like it.” The moment she’s asked to make a personal decision, she talks about what Jackie would think, and it’s not because she herself doesn’t know what to think, it’s just what she chooses to say outright. If anything, Shauna isn’t against Taissa’s plan entirely, and bringing up Jackie rather sounds like an excuse so that she doesn’t dwell on her own dark thoughts.

When Taissa says, “Then we probably shouldn’t tell her,” we expect that to upset Shauna—she wouldn’t keep things from Jackie, right? They’re best friends. While it does upset her, it still doesn’t stop her. We understand why later in the episode, when we discover that she’s no stranger to keeping secrets from Jackie, between her affair with Jeff and the admission letter to Brown (it also recontextualizes their first scene together in Shauna’s car, where Jackie addressed literally both).

On the field, when Taissa plays aggressive and forces Allie to play under pressure, Shauna tells her, “It’s not helping,” and once Allie’s on the ground, she’s one of the girls who runs to her first and tries to comfort her. Even though she didn’t openly disagree with Taissa’s plan, she didn’t want or expect things to escalate the way they did. She’ll make the same mistake when Jackie leaves the cabin, Taissa tells her to go talk to her, and Shauna just goes to sleep, underestimating the consequences of it.

Her ambivalence—if not hypocrisy—is shown later that night at the party, when she tries to pick a fight with Taissa while drunk. I think some part of her felt guilty to an extent, so she tries to fight with Tai out of remorse and because she wants to make her look like the only culprit, since she hates that she was so close to being complicit in it. Who calls her out when she defends Nat from Taissa’s slut-shaming at the party? Natalie herself slams in Shauna’s face that she is complicit.

If Shauna had told Jackie, she would’ve put a stop to it for sure. In the 2019 script for the pilot, Jackie says, “You should have told me about Taissa and Allie.” Shauna’s choice to keep the secret directly anticipates their falling out towards the end of the season. Shauna’s continuous lying drives Jackie mad until she explodes and they have that fatal fight.

Shauna’s the one who tries to act as a person who has it together but really doesn’t. She has the potential to be a good person, friend and mother, but she ends up flunking everything and she barely understands why.

Finally, she tells Tai that she’s “a fucking sociopath”, which, considering everything that happens later in the series, is sort of rich.

Jackie

Like Laura Lee, Jackie has no clue the whole “freeze Allie out” strategy is even happening. Shauna didn’t tell her, she was left out, and she doesn’t find out until Allie’s already hurt and there’s nothing she can do about it.

She watches the others as they rush to help and comfort her and handle the situation, but she doesn’t partake in it because she’s too shocked to move. After the scrimmage, she tries very hard to do as Coach Martinez told her—as captain, she’s meant to glue them together (“When it gets tough out there, these girls are going to be looking for someone to guide them. Can you handle that?”). It’s more than that, though—the way Coach put it, if Jackie can’t do that, then she isn’t really anything special. She’s not as fast as Shauna and her footwork isn’t as good as Lottie’s, and there’s something else that Taissa’s better at, too, though Jackie stops Coach before he can tell her that bit. But nobody seems to care about what she’s saying, and Natalie storms off.

Jackie’s inability to handle the Allie situation and lift the others’ spirits foreshadows her incompetence as well as her progressive loss of influence in the wilderness—in Lottie’s words, “You don’t matter anymore.”

Allie’s accident marks the beginning of Jackie’s downfall even before the plane crashes.
