lottiezilla:

listen i don’t claim to be the authority on soccer or yjs lore, but i spent way too much time watching the first episode and that one single game they play and then looking for tiny small snippets anywhere else in all the other episodes to piece these together. so, here it is! my official write up of the different numbers and positions i think each yjs plays(ed?) and how they relate to their personalities :)

jackie. 9, forward, striker. jackie is leading the charge, when the whistle blows, she’s who gets to go for the ball. she’s a go-getter, she’s in control, the field moves according to her first move, which reflects jackie’s personality and need to control those around her (mostly shauna). the irony is that her role, her position, can’t function without the rest of the team behind her.

lottie, 5, depending on formation is mid defender (one the most important positions on the field) or center back. she controls the flow of the ball on their side of the field, she’s large, imposing, a wall that’s tough to get by. lottie is a solid and it’s her job to keep things under control when they get stressful, ie the ball is near their goal. she stands between the opposing team and them scoring, them attacking. when desperate, people will look to her.

shauna, 6, defensive midfield. she’s right behind jackie, she’s behind the strikers but in front of the defenders. she doesn’t control much but she’s essential in getting the ball to the forwards and she’s the first line of defense when the ball is taken from them on the opposing team’s side, it’s up to her to keep it over there

van, 1, goalie.what’s a team without their goalie? nothing. also one of the most important positions no matter how often the ball is in their court. they are the last line of defense, they can not falter. they are headstrong and steady and when the ball is in their hands, they control the field completely. if the defense fails, van is there to pick up what’s been dropped. van is the ultimate support.

tai, 8, offensive midfield, mid-forward. when the ball is on the opposing team’s side, it’s up to tai to keep it there, to pass from side to side, to keep it away from the opposing team. she needs to be aggressive and fast and never falter. she’s supported by her other midfields and without her, the strikers have nothing. she’s essential and she knows it. she also has the capability to score herself, if she finds the strikers and wingers aren’t there for her. while her job is to work with the team, there’s a point where she doesn’t need them and can operate individually if the situation calls for it.

laura lee, 2, right or left defender. she’s the support, she’s behind Lottie, she knows that if somehow someone gets by Lottie, it’s up to her and whoever else is back there with her to make sure it doesn’t get farther, to move the ball back up to Lottie and the other midfields. she needs to be reliable and consistent and the mid backs need to be able ot trust her fully.

allie, 11, forward striker. we know allie has kind of a cocky attitude, no matter what tai says. the only reason tai knows her plan will work is because she’s the one who would be passing the ball to allie. her or nat or lottie, which is why we see her talking to them first when shauna walks up. Tai knew what she was doing, trying ot freeze allie out, and why she was so aggressive with her, because allie as a striker needs to be quick thinking and aggressive

akilah, 11, has the same pressure as allie did. i think she has a more steady and consistent personality from what we see and she’s good at taking directions. which can be good for a forward/striker. before passing, people usually call out where they’re passing too to their teammates so i’m sure tai would appreciate someone who can keep up with her and listen to her. and we do see that akilah is a bit insecure and falls in line once everyone else does, esp tai

natalie, 7, winger. natalie is the support, she’s the one that puts the ball back into play when it goes out of bounds or near there. she takes the corner kicks which can potentially turn around the entire game. she needs to be versatile and quick, as wingers often run from box to box, like the midfielders. while wingers don’t touch the ball nearly as much as midfield or striker, they’re essential for getting the ball either across the field to change the flow of the game, or keep it in the center to keep the flow they have going.

while we don’t know what numbers they are or see them on the field, the assumptions i have for melissa, gen and crystal are the missing positions or a second winger, an outside midfield, and anoher outside defender to mirror laura lee. they may also have overlap positions, but for the most part, that would fill out the roster. 

very cool headcanons, especially bc the descriptions of the positions combine really well w/ the girls’ dynamic in the wilderness, the roles they play and what happens to them as the story progresses

i 100% agree with the tags

zooptseyt:

Also i really love how antisemites are like “the talmud is a secret text the jews hide from us that teaches them how to cheat christians” when the talmud is freely publicly accessible in its entirety and is like “does it count as something going from the private to the public domain if you throw it from your window into somebody else’s window and it never touches the ground” and “Rabbi Yochanan said that Rabbi Yishmael, son of Rabbi Yosei, had a massive cock. The size of Rabbi Yochanan’s cock was smaller than Rabbi Yishmael’s, but the exact size is up for debate. Both sides agree that it was pretty huge, too, though.”

girltwink-jackie:

no because as a certified Jackie apologist, I’ve been thinking about how Jackie tells Shauna “I don’t belong here” and it’s generally taken as a prissy little girlfailure remark, but when you pair it with how everyone lashes out at and humiliates her for sleeping with travis right before they almost gang rape and kill him, how Shauna projects all her insecurities and bad character traits onto her in their argument and everyone else gangs up on her and agrees, and how she couldn’t even find an insult that wasn’t from a movie and how the events leading up to her death signified a “moral switch” in the yellowjackets, it’s like the glaring message there is about how Jackie was more like a bunny amongst a pack of rabid wolves idc

jackie wouldn’t have cannibalized anyone, that girl was suicidal and depressed and a nihilist and literally stopped eating, her worst crime was acting like a teen and being oblivious and in the end she was consumed like prey too :’<

obsessed with yellowjackets actually. the tumblr version. where everyone is so unwell about these characters. dissecting the themes, the parallels, the music, the imagery, the psychology. at this point i don’t know if the real deal will even measure up to the version i’ve pieced together from all these posts.

As usual, I’m gonna share the parts of this article that resonate with me (pretty much all of it). Several points were made. And the unapologetic queer visibility makes me so proud. Please give it a read 🥲

Boygenius Talk Drag, Transphobia, Biphobia, Corporate Pride, and So Many Other Things

Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus of Boygenius talk to Teen Vogue exclusively about their recent drag performance in Tennessee.

Teen Vogue

LD: I also do want to say, even though there is a bunch of awesome overlap with the trans community and the drag community, transness and drag are separate things — but that’s the reason why we did it [in Tennessee], is because those things are being conflated here.

It’s crazy that we were on tour for all of Pride Month and being pretty f*cking gay, and talking about gay rights on stage. You’d think that the circles that we run in would be like, yeah, cool, but I feel like there is still… Prejudice towards gay people comes from all sides, including gay people.

I have, you know, rolled my eyes at certain aspects of Pride, just the corporate aspect of things. We were hanging out with a friend who was like, yeah, the gas station has a pride flag, but I’m still getting looked at funny in the streets; what is Pride actually doing?

JB: Shell Oil Company is like, happy pride! Like, okay.

LD: It’s weird, the more comfortable I am, the more opposition I feel from other people who are discontent with how I qualify as a gay person. I’m like, Do you need a sex tape?

PB: As someone who doesn’t qualify as gay, I can’t participate in this conversation. I haven’t sent in enough chips to corporate. [laughs]

I speak for all of us [when I say] I feel like our communities are so supportive, like f*cking rainbows and buttercups all the time. We’re really good at making friends and we have so much support around each of us, and so much privilege, and each live in an accepting place and choose accepting people to be around. But when I or Lucy get hate for not turning in our like, gay paperwork, all I’m thinking is about the way that I would have felt at f*cking age 11 being like, Oh, I’m not allowed to do that. This famous person is being humiliated for expressing themselves, and so I should not, I especially should not express myself.

JB: I don’t get as much hate because people are like, there goes a lesbian. You know what I mean? [All laugh.]

LD: It’s really binary.

JB: I’ve spent a lot of my life being a masc dressing queer person, or just not engaging with gender play at all. It’s like, queer people saying that you have to acquiesce to one of three queer archetypes, or one of a handful of queer archetypes in order to be represented.

LD: That’s why our shows are so special to me is that they are very gay. People are throwing flags at us, young people are making out in front of us, it is a space that is precious to me and would have changed my life if I could have been a part of it when I was younger. I’m extremely proud, and I just implicitly love everybody at our shows at a base level. I think we all do. The reason we’re doing it is because we care abstractly about all these strangers and want for them what we could have had. Also we’re coming from a position where we’re talking to a bunch of young people, we do get to put messages worth hearing out there, I think that’s not lost on us.

PB: I am mostly proud of the way that I watch the discourse [play out], and I’m proud of the conclusions that these children are coming to. Everybody is sticking up for us and each other and there’s just a couple weirdos that are very loud. I think our community is being protected by the people in it. And it is such a safe space show, and I’m so fucking proud. Even the amount of femme people in the audience, screaming at the top of their lungs and having to take up a high octave… It’s a different rock show than I’ve ever experienced. It’s amazing to me.

JB: The microphone I have with y'all, the reach is wider, it just factually is, and I think a lot about responsibility to hear [others’ opinions…] To be the subject of discourse at all is to live a question into the world, so I will allow myself to do that. I will allow a little bit of my identity — which as a queer person, I’ve been at once defensive of and fiercely protective of and encouraged to erase completely — I’m like, okay, so I have to exist with this identity subsumed into the culture, into the topic of someone’s conjecture. Because it’s going to be one case study. That’s the whole idea of visibility, visibility doesn’t have to be perfect representation.

I was thinking about this too, something that bugged me was that meme that was the talent and popularity graph and it was popularity way above talent, and they were like, “This is boygenius.” You’re missing the damn point. [If only the most talented people got to speak,] Steve Vai would be speaking for all f*cking musicians because he’s best at guitar. That’s not what I want.

PB: But again, that is just Twitter. I think we are as beloved as is possible for any public, femme presenting, or queer, in public. I think we just get an amount of hate because we’re stepping on guitar guys. It is fucking dumb, and it is just what is happening. Every time I look at a Pitchfork post of us, it’s the most incel f*cking shit ever in the comments section.

JB: I was telling Lucy, I feel like if someone made that meme about me, Julien Baker, on a solo headlining tour, I would be up at four in the morning in the back lounge of the bus running scales. With y'all, I’m like, You’re missing the point you dumbass. It’s like Kathleen Hanna being like, the Sex Pistols are bad at their instruments. Why can I not just have a band that’s fun and cool and angry?

LD: I wanna say, we’re a little fed up, obviously, with some things, but I agree with you, Phoebe, the biggest sentence I have to say is we’re having so much fun. That is the message that I think people are mostly getting, and the one that I want them to get, is that we are happy and having fun, and that is not frivolous at all. Fun is essential.

PB: Everybody knows every word to the entire set. We sell thousands of tickets. It is going as good as humanly possible. It is insane.

LD: And it’s because we feel safe and supportive that we can mostly safely and supportively do drag in Tennessee. It’s because we have such a solid foundation of joy we can be in defense of other people’s joy, in ways that feel really valuable to me personally, and I hope valuable to other people.

JB: The whole reason why I feel comfortable engaging with this at all and it’s not an existential crisis for me is because, what you’re saying, Lucy: I have a foundation of joy that makes me convicted that this is important, not frivolous, highly worthy, highly valuable. So when I see us as the subject of discourse I’m interacting with it in a different way that I don’t think I’d be able to [alone]. I wonder if kids watching that in third person happen will also be resilient to the same kind of things.
