they could have said, like, “we made a new wolf morph, which shows how far genetic science has advanced”. they could have said, “we’re calling them direwolves out of a love for the extinct species.” maybe too much to ask for but would have loved it if they’d pointed out some kind of ecological niche they were theoretically intent on resolving - like, “wolves are having trouble adapting to human sprawl and we are hoping that our research into the past will help us save wolves in the present.”

but alas they did not do this. and see this sucks because i want to be hype about new bigass fantasy wolves. there is a 7th grade version of me that would be ecstatic about this. she would be obsessive.

unfortunately, due to capitalism, now i gotta have beef with puppies. can you imagine.

i just know van and tai were so mad in the wilderness when everyone started girlkissing like oh so we’ve been linking pinky fingers under the table at team dinners for months and NOW you guys are all gay? I see how it is all of you are posers

I’ve thought extensively about how the three that want to stay- Taissa, Shauna, and Lottie- are the three that have their lives crash and burn in the adult timeline.

They were right when they said they can’t go back. They can never go back to the life that they had. They can fake it for a couple decades, with their picket-fence lives or harmonious community, but the moment that the Yellowjackets collide again, their perfectly constructed world crumbles.

I will say one last thing (sorry I never shut up) before I sleep. As much as I am happy for Jenna getting to shine this season (and I really do love teen Melissa’s portrayal), it feels like fearful writing on the part of the show runners to make a background comedic relief character take on The New Gay Relationship instead of utilizing the main characters we already had if they wanted to take it there. Sadly, Melissa’s entry is one of the main reasons the show has felt so overcrowded this season. We barely got ANY of the relationship between Melissa and Shauna, and at the same time we’ve barely gotten time with established duos like Taissa and Van, Travis and Nat, etc. I think it would have been 10x easier to create more distinct relationships between the main characters we already had rather than crowd both timelines with a new character who isn’t even really getting a true arc or relationship since it’s so forced.

The fandom ships everyone with everyone anyways.

something about jaime and cersei both feeling corrupted and betrayed by the very things that they were supposed to want and which were supposed to bring them power and prestige. jaime’s dreams and honor dying at the kingsguard’s doorstep, “it was the white cloak that soiled me not the other way around”, cersei facing an abusive marriage and a careless husband in her royal marriage. “i am a knight and cersei is a queen” jaime says to joanna and she just turns away crying

this + the fact that jaime and cersei each have a young, idealistic counterpart in their midst (brienne and sansa respectively) who aspires to the very position that has destroyed them from the inside out (knight and queen respectively) is my roman empire tbh
