I'm realizing some people see Jackie as petulant and weak, where I see her as just 'a girl' (a sweet, kind, optimistic girl) and 'not a survivor' (and tbh, not very interested in surviving).
I keep thinking of her pathetic "I don't belong here".
No, you didn't, Jackie. You belonged at home, writing in your diary, and waiting for college to start so you'd have an excuse to dump your boyfriend.
You should have lived to see But I'm a Cheerleader. You should have gotten a chance to take a sociology class. You would have loved 10 Things I Hate About You. Kat Stratford would have changed your life.

“friendship doesn’t matter. love doesn’t matter. they’re just things we use to pretend we’re not going to end up like dead cabin guy - rotted out husks in some bullshit attic”

nat and jackie’s relationship drives me NUTS! you’re telling me that nat was the one who buried her bones? the one who wrapped her so delicately in cloth and carried her across feet of snow just to make sure she’s at rest? the one who sat down with her in the wreckage of the plane and give her the most meaningful sendoff she could’ve gotten? nat didn’t NEED jackie the way those girls did. they way they wanted her was carnivorous and clinical, one-sided. they ripped away her sanctity, her autonomy, her literal flesh. they feasted on her and tore her from shred to shred because even in death, jackie gives. nat didn’t NEED to put jackie at rest, but she did because she knows what’s it’s like. after all, isn’t nat also just a pile of bones in the middle of the forest, just giving and giving and giving? nat didn’t NEED to give jackie that good-bye, but she did cause she’s a giver and a lover and she knows that’s going to kill her the way it killed jackie.

thinking about jackie's room being covered in roses. roses on the sheets and on the nightstand
and shauna telling jeff jackie likes poppies. did jackie actually like poppies? did shauna lie to jeff because she didn't want him to get jackie something she actually likes?

i bet you a thousand bucks the entire time shauna was planning her and jeff’s wedding, she was thinking “oh jackie would love this” “idk if jackie would’ve liked this dress maybe this one?” “jackie always wanted a summer wedding so we should plan it around then, for jackie” like you can’t tell me otherwise. shauna you wanted to marry that girl so badly. i know what you are
