for some reason i didn't know you could post videos on tumblr???? so here's a yellowjackets thingy from last august

[wilderness-king]

I feel my abandonment of “fandom” as a concept coming like a bullet train. I actually now do not wish to care about what other people think of certain things anymore, actually. I want to interact with at least one piece of media in happiness and peace and not bond with, relate to, or be in community with anyone over it at all. I don’t care for your shipping, or your discourse, I will actually attempt to vacuum seal my own feelings about very specific media. A very soft “no thanks, I’m having fun playing with my toys by myself” from me.

#omg some said it #it’s why I sometimes struggle to be on tumblr #I don’t really want to see discourse over my favourite media #I just want to enjoy what I love without people criticising it #I will sit in my corner and enjoy my things in peace

taishauna is so important to me. their bond is so under-appreciated and overlooked. someone smarter than me surely has more to say sorry i just can’t stop thinking about them.

The only yellowjackets hill I think I'll actually die on is who WB's father is. And it's taissa, by the way.

#tai is absolutely the father #they love each other

The fact that more people aren’t completely rabid over Taishauna confuses me. Like, they literally gave you enemies to lovers, only one bed, and “I can only get a good night sleep when I’m with you”. And it’s just crickets from the fandom like how are you guys missing this????

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…
