the fact that after all this time, shauna and the rest of the girls may be ready to fill jackie’s role but to nat she’ll always be their captain… i’m sure it kills shauna that in their moments of crisis everyone seems to look to nat and not shauna, the now-declared leader… reminiscent of her final journal entry before the cabin burned
it's crazy to me that almost everyone on the team had their own view or lens through which they perceived who jackie was. but what's even crazier is that, out of all of them, natalie probably got the closest to seeing her simply as a person. somehow, it was nat who acknowledged her death, took care of her remains, showed vulnerability and apologized to her. and even months later, you can count on her to keep jackie's memory alive, mentioning her, and still seeing jackie as the captain.
Sometimes I do have desires that disgust me. But I have other problems

details under the cut
one of the best decisions yellowjackets has ever made is reverting the women back into girls at their most vulnerable moments. shauna when she kills adam, nat laying her head in lottie's lap, misty seeing young natalie in the mirror, misty in the morgue seeing lottie because this truly hammers home that their lives stopped the moment that plane went down and that no matter how much time has passed by, they're still those teenage girls who were on their way to their football game and lost 19 months of their lives trying to survive.
