Yellowjackets fandom who are also ao3 enjoyers (so like all of y'all)! I call upon ur wisdom and ask: what are ur fav fics (ideally sfw tho a smut scene or two is fine I can always skip it)! Idgaf what ship it is (nothing not legal tho)! I'm just struggling to find fics I attach to just based of description recently even tho I know if I just read it it'll be good! So now I ask the little people in my phone! Thank u!

Now that season three is over, and both the lottienats and lottielees were fucked, can we all just hold hands? We're all just freaks who like lesbianism with religious symbolism. Super extremely important gay dissertation under the cut.

I think the argument on whether or not Laura Lee or Nat meant more to Lottie is kind of stupid, considering they've both been shown to have a lot of value in her story. Laura Lee was the sort of precursor to the wilderness, she's the one who started all of that in Lottie. Meanwhile, Nat was "always its favorite"; the one who was at the center of the wilderness for Lottie, she was the sort of chosen one. I also think Laura Lee and Nat work as interesting foils in Lottie's overall story. Laura Lee represents complete unwavering belief and faith, while Nat represents doubt and skepticism. Throughout the first two seasons (before the massive nosedive in season three happened) we saw Lottie navigating the thin line between faith and doubt, and Laura Lee and Nat are the physical embodiments of those key elements.

Due to these different roles Laura Lee and Nat played they both offered different but very needed things to Lottie in their respective moments. In season one Laura Lee offered Lottie what she so desperately wanted, belief and validation. Lottie has always felt insecure and unsure about herself, especially in regard to her schizophrenia. Laura Lee, for better or for worse, intensely validated Lottie. So much so she convinced her she was a prophet touched by god. Laura Lee offered her comfort and belief, which is something Lottie had never received from anyone else throughout her life. Jump to season two we can see now that the way the girls have deified Lottie is beginning to weigh heavily on her. She doesn't know what to do with it, she's not even fully sure of herself, and definitely not sure enough to lead an entire group of girls who are desperate for something to believe in. But then there's Nat who disagrees with her and challenges her at every possible moment, she doesn't deify her, she just views her as a teenage girl. Even if it was frustrating, it's what Lottie needed in that moment, a break from being put on a pedestal. Which is why one of the only scenes in season two where we see Lottie just acting like a teenage girl, separate from all of the wilderness politics, is with Nat in the bathtub scene. It's also a contributing factor to why she ultimately crowns Nat as their new queen.

-I realize in season three the girls stopped believing in Lottie and instead begin to dehumanize and demonize her. However, as we see in episode eight, Nat doesn't call her crazy when she wants to stay like everyone else does and instead tries to reason with her and talk to her like what she is, a scared teenage girl.

With all of this in mind, I'm just incredibly mad at how they handled Lottie's character in season three. They did not mention Laura Lee once, and they did not give Lottie's connection with Nat the exploration it deserved. I was very pissed at how they handled her death; it could have been a very interesting final exploration of her relationship to faith and doubt, but instead we got no real insight into her mental state. Lottie deserved some kind of post-death scene, not necessarily a plane scene, but a scene where she confronted the wilderness and what it really meant to her. She could have been met with Laura Lee and Nat who were the physical embodiments of her faith and skepticism, and seemingly two of the most important people to her. Instead, they stripped out all of the nuance from her character and left what's honestly a quite harmful portrayal of schizophrenia. So yeah, with that being said, we should all just kiss and hold hands because this season absolutely massacred Lottie's character.

reposting my youtube comment onto here bc its literally all i can think about. caitvi may have been affecting each other's lives for far longer than they know (they may have been saving each other for far longer than they've realized too).

I've seen a lot of good theories about where the timeline divergence came from (damn the arcane fandom is so big brained sometimes, good job y'all), but this one consistently rots my brain from the inside out bc my god. i will never get over the underlying tragedy of ep 7. how one small difference could have changed it all.

arcane really is a story of what ifs, each more painful to think about than the last.

were gonna be here a minute but imma try to explain with no spoilers (I hope)

so first picture a disney princess. Now put her in hell and thats how u get our main character Charlie. Charlie is daughter of Lucifer (ya this show is like based but also completely diff from the bible sp if that makes you uncomfortable I dont suggest it) and Lilith. Shes an idealist and sees the good in everyone. So when something such as the yearly extermination exists (aka when angels called exorcists come down to kill the sould in hell for overpopulation) shes gonna wanna stop it. So she comes up with a (hopefully) solution a place to redeem sinners!( So the hazbin hotel) However people are doubtful cause you know no one has actually ever been redeemed so ya.

Shes not alone in this endevor ( is that how u spell that idk man) she has her gf Vaggie! Vaggie is alot more grounded then Charlie is the two are basically the incarnation of grumpy x sunshine. As well unlike Charlie Vaggie is not hellborn. Vaggie however despite her grumpiness does genuinely believe in Charlies dream and will try her best to help her acheive it.

Then we have Angeldust. Hes a the first and only sinner whos staying at the hotel. He doesnt believe in redemption but hey their letting him stay there rent free so he does not care. Imma just say now Angel has ALOT of trauma he needs to process and his strategy is essentially self destruction, sex jokes, and pissing off Vaggie (a common trend among the cast lol). Angels honestly a fun chracter and deserved fan fav. He is also a drug addict just like his name indicates. Oh and hes a pornstar forgot to mention that part lol.

Next up is Alastor hes a but of a special case. He is a sinner but an EXTREMELY powerful one. Hes known as the radio demon for reasons... hes also an overlord ( hells has like a classification system btw that from most powerful to least goes Lucifer, Lilith and Charlie, the seven deadly sins, the ars goetia, overlords, sinners, hellborn and imps and hell hounds who are also hellborn but like lower and there are seven rings of hell (each sin has one ring of hell) but Hazbin is focused on the pride ring ruled by lucifer populated but the sinners and overlords the rest of hell is tackled in Hazbins sister show Helluva boss which is fully on youtube unlike hazbin and is a banger). Alastor is a chracter with even were the series is currently not even just at the beggining is a chracter shrowded in mystery. Hes also like most likely not a good dude in the slightest. He never frowns he will always be seen with a smile on his face no matter what hes feeling inside. He also like co-owns the hotel with Charlie. Why is he helping you ask? Well sheer absolute boredoom essentially hes here for a laugh. Oh and as mentioned with Angeldust he also likes to annoy the shit out of Vaggie shes essentially his punching bag lol.

Alright then we have Husk also a sinner but he is NOT here by his free will. Alastor owns his soul (how he got it u gotta watch the show cause im not spoiling shit) and forced him to be here. Hes the bartender and very very grumpy constantly. As said during the pilot he "lost the ability to love years ago". Hes also a alchohlic and gambling addict.

Last but notleast is the psycho, bad boy lover and clean freak Nifty. Nifty is like the majority of the cast a sinner. And just like Husk she is forced to be here but unlike Husk she doesnt really mind. She also is at war with bugs lol. Shes special to say the least but meh I love her.

Now thats the main cast there are more chracters in the show and another chracter who i hesitated adding but these are the guys in the pilot (which is on youtube if you feel like watching it and u gotta watc( the pilot first the the actual show on prime if u have it there are obvi other ways to watch it but im not risking it). This show is also very much and adult show dont get tricked by its exterior it is catered towards adults if your a minor watch it if u want just be warned its most episodes at least 16+ and there are some trigger warnings such as abuse and rape. There is currently one season out of eight episodes pf 20 mins each so there are some pacing issues but its still a great show nonetheless. Its not for everyone but its a show i love and cherish so ya. Oh and fun fact the only straight chracter in the main cast is Nifty! (Charlie is bi, Vaggie is a lesbian, Angel is gay (mlm), Alastor is asexual and Husk is pan!)

someone explain to me please what hazbin hotel is even about im so confused /gen

Everyone preparing for fucking war while Cait and Vi fucked in a prison cell took me out lmao

one thing that I found hilarious that no one has mentioned. Is that when Jackie was freezing to death, Laura Lee was like “hey welcome to being dead! See it ain’t that bad lol!”

But when her girlfriend Lottie is freezing to death she’s like “no no no. You gotta wake up and get warm that’s not allowed.

And I’m sure her and Jackie argue about it everyday.

"Yeah but she-"

shut up and chose your favorite lesbian canibal, stop arguing about who's better and who's worse.

why does everyone in the yellowjackets fandom just agree that shauna’s mum is called Deb, she’s a nurse, a single mum and the nicest woman alive. Like where tf did that come from???

anyways Deb Shipman for president 🗣️🗣️

subtle foreshadowing

Can we talk about how Tai definitely burned the cabin (probably as Other Tai) and could’ve very well killed Lottie? Can. Can we talk about how Van so confidently raised her hand to condemn Ben because it would ensure Tai’s safety? Can we talk about how Tai was going to literally kill a man and then could’ve very well killed Lottie to try and give her and Van more time? Can we talk about how much Taivan is driving the fucking plot this season?
