This is probably going to get downvoted to hell but while rewatching season 1, season 2 and 3 I was surprised at how mean Tai and Van are.

Tai wants to ice out Allie, she breaks her leg. Then at the party she slut shames Natalie and instigates with Shauna. Then after the crash she calls Jackie’s idea to throw something stupid. There are multiple other small remarks in season 1. When Mari is scared of the attic Tai says must have been the ghost super sarcastically. In season 2 she humiliates Shauna infront of everyone when she confronts her about Jackie.

Van is just straight up mean. She laughs at Jackie cause she can’t use the gun, makes fun of Mari, makes fun of Misty has a ton of other mean jabs or remarks in season 1. In season 3 she is mean to Misty when Misty has been nothing but useful to the group.

In season 3 Van and Tai make fun of Melissa saying Shauna is only dating her as a Jackie replacement.

Honestly my hottest take is that almost all the girls besides maybe Natalie are way meaner then Jackie is in s1.

I was rewatching once again and I noticed that the rocks are ABOVE the ground when crystal dies.

After the blizzard and misty goes looking for her, the snow is about even with the top of those rocks.

How many feet do we think fell here? Because there's no way she couldn't find her when she was digging in the EXACT spot??

I wonder if the drive to eat human flesh developed for the Yellow Jackets due to protein poisoning aka rabbit starvation. Rabbit starvation (fat starvation also known as mal de caribou or protein poisoning) is a type of rapidly occurring deficiency syndrome resulting from eating a diet deficient in macronutrient fatty acids, and where dietary calories come esclusively from lean meat. Rabbit meat is very lean, as can be elk or caribou (reindeer) meat at certain times of the year. Arctic explorer Dr. Sir John Richardson told Charles Darwin, who published in his book The Voyage of the Beagle, wrote that when people for a long period eat only lean meat, they develop an insatiable desire for fat. If fat is unavailable, an individual develops fatigue and nausea within 2-3 days, diarrhea in 7-10 days, and dies after several weeks. Starvation can produce its own type of disordered thinking, including "Bingeing and Ritualistic Behaviors" including unpredictable urges to binge-eat, hoard food, or perform unusual eating rituals. Food preoccupations--their minds become consumed by thoughts of food, leading them to constantly dream, fantasize, or talk about eating. Cognitive problems also include impaired concentration with attention spans shrinking, making problem-solving, comprehension, and decision-making difficult--leading to them not trying to leave or come up with new solutions. Other emotional changes include persistent sadness, emotional volatility, increased anxiety and intense irritability. Numbness or apathy as well as high rates of obsessional and compulsive thinking and rigidity of mental patterns, lack of mental flexibility due to metabolic stress and chronic energy deprivation.

Hello! This is my first post but lurked for a while. I was rewatching season 3; in episode 1, when Walter pulls up to a drunk Misty. He reveals that the bartender tried calling all her contacts until they reached W.

Now I’m not sure how a locked phone would provide a list of contacts, so is it possible. Misty has Walter as her emergency contact and he lied to manipulate her?

Sorry if this was asked before I joined after season 3 aired :)

Shauna's baby boy is born alive, she is able to feed him by miracle, survive the winter and then they get rescued. Would she treat him well? Would she be a little less traumatized and don't go totally crazy? How would it change everything?

Just watched the scene where Shauna discovers Jackie’s dead and damn … wonderful acting from Sophie Nelisse. The part where she starts screaming is so haunting, it made me cry. From here on out her death changes everything.

Hey guys idk what happened but on social media I always come across posts about who the OP wants the “final girl” to be or who they think is the “final girl” even though they wish it was someone else, etc. My question is, and perhaps I just missed something, why does it seem that everyone is in agreement that at the shows’ conclusion in the present day only one Yellowjacket woman will be left alive? Did I miss something where it has been foreshadowed that there will be only one survivor? Did I miss that it was not just foreshadowed but instead was said outright straight up at the end only one will be alive? Am I misunderstanding completely and by “final girl” they mean something else? Like who was in charge in the woods right before they were found? Someone pls explain TYSM 💗

Ella reposted the trailer we’ve never been so back

"Everything with teeth bites. Everything will defend itself. They're calling you." GENUINELY EWWW NO GET OFF MY SCREEN YOU HUMAN LLAMA IN SKIN SUIT.

I’m styling her hair like that photo that appears on the intro (yk what I’m talking about), im obsessed with that haircut

I did this with no reference so the proportions might be off idk, but there’s still space left, tell me which Yellowjacket should I place her with (or doing what)

Melissa is already a fascinating problem for the adult survivors because she knows exactly what happened out there and, unlike the others, she ultimately removed herself from their post-rescue lives, eventually faked her own death, and resurfaced decades later by sending Shauna the tape that helped drag the past back into the present. So, what exactly does Melissa want now?

Is she finally done running? Is she looking for revenge? This is where some of those behind-the-scenes pictures we’ve seen become interesting to me. They seem to hint at the possibility that Melissa starts talking and telling a story that fits HER narrative. And if Melissa starts revealing things that contradict the official story–or exposes details they’ve worked hard to keep buried–she could destroy the carefully constructed lives they’ve built since rescue. And I wonder whether THAT could be the catalyst that brings the adult survivors back together, on the same side.

Not because they’ve suddenly forgiven one another or put their differences aside, but because Melissa has become a common threat. If she’s talking, do they decide the only way to protect themselves is to make sure she can’t talk anymore? Which leads to a concerning possibility: could the adult survivors essentially recreate the wilderness one last time and decide Melissa needs to be sacrificed to protect the rest of them? But here’s my hang-up with that thought. What good does killing Melissa do if she’s already told everyone their secrets?

If Melissa has already gone public with her version of events, killing her doesn’t magically undo what she’s revealed. In fact, it could actually make things worse. They wouldn’t only be dealing with the possibility of secrets being exposed; they would potentially be dealing with Melissa’s suspicious death, which could bring more attention to everything she’s been saying. I REALLY want to know whether Melissa’s decision to resurface is about exposing the truth, getting revenge, or forcing the other survivors to finally acknowledge TRULY what happened between them. 

Something I was thinking about, because my ending prediction is that basically we get either a LOST ending or timeline reset. I see that being the likely outcome for whatever plan the wilderness is executing that death scene teen Van aluded too.

And with that I think we'll see everyone again in some capacity. But then again this show has struck down all my predictions since day 1 with its unpredictability and will likely be proven completely wrong.

Okay so I was watching the trailer and they ask the girls if there is anyone else out there they should be looking for. That’s got me thinking about Hannah and the other girls like Gen and Robyn. I don’t want to rule out the chance that there were more hunts that happened but it seems so unlikely that at least 3 more hunts happened in that short period of time. I know that it’s winter again and they need to survive, but no one seems to be on Lottie’s or Shauna’s side anymore. I mean the only reason the last hunt happened was for a distraction, so rescue can happen. I know that we’re pretty actively hunting Mari during that hunt, but I imagine that after Nat returns and informs them that rescue is coming, the last thing they’d want to do is kill more people. They’d probably be more stressed about covering up their existing crimes, why add to that list??? I can honestly see them doing something to Hannah just so their crimes stay silent. But then what about Gen and Robyn??

Maybe just maybe they do actually get left behind in the wilderness. Why? How? I have no idea tbh. It could be cause of some sort of conflict? Not sure. But I reckon this ties into Akilah and her death. We know she returns but she also doesn’t seem to be present in the interview scenes in the trailer. I know people have been theorising that Akilah might want to spill about everything that happened in the wilderness (hence the girls kill her), but I just don’t see why she would do that. I get that her character is meant to be kind, but I imagine even she would agree for somethings to be kept hidden. Like especially considering it would probably cause more grief for the parents and families?? but IFFFF people were left behind, it makes total sense for Akilah to be the type of person to tell the investigators to keep searching for others. And perhaps this leads to her death??

I’m not sure haha what do you guys think

I genuinely want to know why so many people LOVE Lottie. I don’t really like her much considering she was an underlying reason why the girls started following the cult. I know she didn’t FORCE anyone to join the cult, but still. I haven’t finished the show yet bc netflix only has the first 2 seasons but I would love to hear your thoughts! I genuinely want an insight as to why people love and adore her so much. (I’m writing this at 1:00 am, i know there’s grammatical mistakes).

is it possible that mel or someone yet to be revealed could very well be messing with shauna? some things are explained by reasons that point away from it, like mel writing a letter with the tape and misty not telling her about the fridge lock. but i guess the scene i dont understand the most is the "queen of hearts" cell phone in the bathroom. maybe it could be coincidental but idk.

Their faces got me LMFAO. Ben like, “damn in front of me & my one leg?” Jackie’s face SCREAMING, “girl tf?”

Shauna was grasping at straws this whole argument to justify bouncing on Jackie’s boyfriend & the, “I don’t even like soccer,” fucking got me.

Shauna get a grip you could have taken debate 😭 ain’t nobody force you kicking & screaming to the damn soccer team!

I never noticed that, when shauna first wakes up to her dream after giving birth, the voice that wakes her up is jackie 🥲🥲

I know this is a ridiculous question. I know that the surviving yellowjackets are 17-18 years old, traumatized up the wazoo, and terrified that "what they did" will ruin their post-rescue lives. I know there's no point really talking about this, because they DO end up hiding the cannibalism, and I'm sure season 4 will deal a lot with this. Just kind of spitballing here.

However, I don't entirely know why they would attempt to hide the cannibalism. I mean, unless they get real crafty real quick, I don't know how they are going to completely dispose of all evidence that they ate people-- bones take really high heat to burn, are generally hard to dispose of, plus oftentimes have evidence of butchering on them after someone has removed the flesh to eat. See James Fitzjames-- we know his remains were consumed because of marks on his jawbone. I don't know where the (maybe so far fan idea? I don't know) idea that the survivors are going to pretend most of the deaths happened during the crash came from, but I feel this is just a complicated lie to keep when the bones perhaps have evidence that they were butchered.

Jackie's death was 100% an accident. Javi's death was caused by the elements, even if the girls made a conscious decision not to intervene. And even Mari's death is complicated-- like, yeah, the group intended to hunt her, but she wasn't deliberately led to the pit, and the circumstances of her death weren't entirely under anyone's control. No one stabbed her or pushed her in. Yes, they had murderous intent, but they themselves did not enact it.

So why wouldn't they admit to at least some form of survival cannibalism while continuing to conceal the hunts?

Look at the Andes crash. The survivors received a lot of sympathy from the public, and even the Catholic church was understanding of their actions given the survival circumstances. I'm not saying the Yellowjackets' situation is exactly the same. They developed a system in which they hunted people for food and then sport. That's obviously a very different situation from the Andes survivors'.

But I do think admitting to survival cannibalism could give the Yellowjackets a lot of, like, plausible deniability? They could explain how they survived the winter without revealing the hunts or the full extent of what happened out there. And if they insist they survived through other means, wouldn't that just invite even more questions about how they managed to stay alive? There was no game out there. Yes, they hunted Nat down that first winter, but it was technically for survival. They were starving to death.

I'm not saying they should confess to the hunts. I'm just wondering why they'd need to conceal the cannibalism itself when admitting to it might actually make their story more believable, if that makes sense.

But I guess the deaths of Coach Ben, Hannah, Kodiak, and Edwin are pretty complex to explain. Uhh.

Hello everybody!

As we get ready for the fourth and final season of Yellowjackets I have been working on a painstakingly detailed and "accurate" timeline of the teenage timeline we have seen so far. I tried scanning frame by frame for cues that would show time passage, compared with real B.C rockies weather patterns, cross-referenced events referenced, used Shauna's pregnancy as an indicator of time, and read a couple of official scripts that mention some stuff. I hope you enjoy it, I wanted to mention that there was NO USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) for this at all, and if there are any improvements either in design (I went to medical school not arts school sorry) or content you might have, please let me know. Feel free to edit it as you wish.

Q&A

• Do I think the creators thought about the timeline this closely?: No, especially after doing this, I am fairly certain the creators had a couple of events roughly placed, and those give some structure to the timeline, but the amount of food they have, contradiction in chronology between canon sources, and rare weather patterns make me believe even more that a lot has been done as they go or retconned. It is ultimately a fictional show and I understand full accuracy is impossible.
• How do we know that Shauna became pregnant on that specific night before the flight?: We do not, it could have been anothe

r time

• they did it, however, as the show moves along it starts utilizing this timeframe in its internal logic, other characters reference her being a certain amount pregnant, she starts feeling the fetus later, and finally gives birth approximately 9 months after in February based on other guesses. So even if it wasn't that specific day it was probably around mid-to-late May, plus, narratively Shauna tells Jeff that time that if he gets her pregnant she will raise that kid to kill him, which would symbolically point towards the night after the party.
• What about them synchronizing their menstrual cycles?: In season 1 episode 4 "Blood Hive", characters mention that the girls' menstrual cycles have synced, this is based on a debunked myth, and cannot thus be used to approximate passage of time.
• Why is the season 1 finale already so cold and snowy if it is only September?: I have to admit this one was rather hard to place, it was ultimately a guess because information was discrepant. Let's go over some of it and why I chose September: 1. Shauna is showing, she is a skinny young primigravida, which means she would start showing 4-5 months into her pregnancy, 2. Akilah mentions that it would be around Homecoming, which in New Jersey takes place from late September to October, 3. Jackie mentions to Shauna that it is rush week at Rutgers, which takes place the 2 first weeks of term we do know for a fact when that week took place in 1996, which was September 3rd-22nd, 4. Misty says that it is a full moon, this is the most troubling fact because it gives us two specific dates for 1996, neither though align with rush week, first one is September 26th (Harvest Moon) however this specific full moon was also a total lunar eclipse that was visible throughout most of North America, but there are no references to it in the show and we can clearly see moolight throughout the night; October 26th (Hunter's Moon) name is fitting for the theme of Doomscoming and October would allow the weather to be much colder, it also would make better sense timewise based on what Mari and Tai say about Jackie being dead for 2 months nonetheless it would be way past rush week and would make the rest of the timeline, it did snow in the Canadian Rocky Mountains in September 1996, that Mari and Tai might have been approximating dates, the based on the shock of the characters at it having snowed + just how off Jackie (and probably Akilah) would be, I decided that season 1 ends in late September
• What's up with the time progression in season 2?: To be honest, it was rough, during season 2 characters stop changing their clothes every day, there are not a lot of meteorological cues other than it snowing outside, the food supply is vague and unrealistic, and I suspect some scenes might not be immediately after another with no context added. The only things I had to go by were the internal time logic added by Shauna's pregnancy (Assuming her labor was not preterm and that ALL of the other characters haven't been super inaccurate, 9 months after late May is late February) and that, to increase our suspension of disbelief, season 2 has to end right around the end of snowy conditions (Not exactly literal winter) in the B.C rockies, to make it more plausible for the season 3 "Cabin burned for 12 days and then spring came" (Which I would guess meant snow melted) explanation to work, still even from mid-march, 12 days would place us at early April at most, where often spring hasn't kicked in. The fact that the girls were able to still run and chase each other after some period of starvation (Which was going on intermittently for months), would mean that a later end date would be harder to believe.
• Why was autumn of 1997 warmer?: Most likely explanation? Plot/Writer's being lazy. However it is to be noted that 1997 was an El Niño year, which mean that the conditions were much warmers than expected, this would explain why frogs were still mating all the way into October (When Canadian Thanksgiving happens), and why it took longer for snow to start falling.

Any further questions are welcomed, thank you!
Edit: Added phone version in the comments since someone nagged me

I personally feel like it’s either Jackie’s or Mari’s because Jackie haunted the narrative but Mari is pit girl

Wait sorry if this is not as profound to everyone else as it was to me just now when I thought about it. But Shauna basically assuming Jackie's life after she dies feels like a play on "you are what you eat". Obviously the others did too, but shauna had a weird complex about it.
