i love how we can see the seeds of joel’s willingness to do absolutely anything, no matter how immoral, to protect his daughters being sewn from the very start. in both the show and game there’s this scene where he, tommy, and sarah are trying to get out of town on outbreak day together and they pass a family flagging them down for help. tommy says “they’ve got a kid,” implying that he wants to stop and pick them up. joel says, “so do we. keep moving.” despite sarah and tommy’s protests, despite seeing how bad things were already getting, despite these people and their child needing help, joel chooses to put his daughter’s safety first

this is almost a direct foreshadowing of his choice to save ellie in the end, despite knowing it would get thousands, if not millions, of people killed in the long run. joel was willing to abandon a family in need to keep sarah safe, just as he was willing to abandon the world to keep ellie safe. when abby finally faces him, he doesn’t scream or cry for help. he hardly even tries to stop her after a certain point. he knew it would end like this for him if he chose ellie. he doesn’t care. he will choose his daughters every time, no matter the cost. even if the cost is his life

the first law of tragedies: the end is already written and inevitable. the second law of tragedies: your actions are all your own and you can choose to get off this ride whenever you want. the third law of tragedies: we both know that you are never going to do that.

Alexander McQueen: Silver Crown of Thorns Headpiece, for the "Dante" runway show Autumn/Winter 1996
“You know if this was a horror movie, you’d be the first to die.” “Why, because I’m Black?” “Because you’re the skeptical one. They always go first, so the rest of us can keep doing dumb shit and die in unnecessarily brutal ways. But, now that I think about it, why does the Black character always die first…?” — Van and Taissa, Yellowjackets 1x07, “No Compass”

The horror genre has never been kind to racial/ethnic minorities. (And especially unkind to Black people in particular.) Characters of colour very rarely make it into the list of “Final Girls”; instead they are far more often used as props for those white Final Girls to act around, and always destined to die. In season one of Yellowjackets, the writers took the above jab at this recurring phenomenon. Now in season three of Yellowjackets, the writers have become the very thing they once poked fun at.

There is a recurrent scene from those dinners that surfaces again and again, like an obsessive undercurrent in a dream. Julian, at the head of the long table, rises to his feet and lifts his wineglass. ‘Live forever,’ he says. And the rest of us rise too, and clink our glasses across the table, like an army regiment crossing sabres: Henry and Bunny, Charles and Francis, Camilla and I. ‘Live forever,’ we chorus, throwing our glasses back in unison. And always, always, that same toast. Live forever.”
