#shauna is just a totally normal housewife

yellowjackets assassins au idea

After freelance hitman Travis Martinez is betrayed and murdered by the crime family he was working for, Natalie Scatorccio, a former co-member of the now-defunct elite assassin group, the Yellowjackets, declares a vendetta on the family, swearing to hunt all of them down to the last man, woman and child.

She can't do this alone, not without risking grievous harm on her person, so she calls up every favor she has from her old surviving teammates, who have all long since retired and left the life of contract killing behind... or have they?

no exactly re: jackie being seen by some people as this cruel queen bee character. she definitely had her flaws both as an individual and when it came to her friendship with shauna, but i feel like at the end of the day she was just your average teenage girl and she did care so deeply about her best friend. even if she had her moments of being self absorbed or dismissive towards her. shauna obviously being flawed as hell too and that’s why i find them as characters and their dynamic to be so damn interesting tbh. also love natalie! i do want to see more of her beyond her relationship w travis though 😭

Yeah exactly like Jackie was just so normal, your typical teenage girl. Obviously she had flaws and the way she handled her and Shauna's power dynamic was kinda fucked up but she wasn't any worse than any other teen girl. Her flaws just made her a better ch and more tragic that that was the totality of her life. I think that contributes, too, to fandom perception of her because she never got to survive and become an adult and more than the 17 yo version of herself. She exists in this limbo and she's forever gonna be a kinda bitchy kinda self-absorbed teen who had so much more to live for. I just don't wanna engage with people who don't see the tragic beauty in that lol. And I deffo don't see how Jackie could be called cruel.

Aah Natalie is so clearly the most sensitive out of all of them but also has this fucked up home life and is A Mess as an adult so I think we lose sight of just how much she feels. And how mature she is, probably the most mature out of all of them. I do wish we saw more of her outside of the Travis relationship, too, particularly teen Natalie who just seems so level-headed even as the others give in to madness. She was reasonable with Jackie, understanding with Travis, such a good sport with Ben, overall the single most sane person in the group. In the Pilot she's introduced as this misfit and we assume she'll be the angsty girl and see how close she is to breaking in 2021, but she has such a big heart. Case in point, episode one! Idk she's just a refreshing character and I feel like she seems the most outwardly messed up in the present because she can't bury the weight they carry deep down like the others. Like how Shauna lives Jackie's life and pretends being the housewife is enough and how Misty is so delusional it's actually impressive. And whatever the fuck is going on with Tai and her alterego. Jesus fucking christ that's so creepy.

#my thoughts on nat are not coherent but she's the final girl for me #can't wait to see more of her in s2 #and jackie better continue haunting the narrative!! #i'm counting on it girl come back i need you for the themes #the cast is only complete with her #anon #yellowjackets asks #yellowjackets #jackie taylor #natalie scatorccio
