To me the crux of the story in Yellowjackets will always be a reflection of how modern major societies continuously and systematically fail the most vulnerable.
Every character in this show is a victim one way or another.
Lottie was born into a privileged life but was othered by her own mental illness and constantly failed by a world that continuously silenced and isolated her rather than guiding or dealing with the issues she didn't understand how to address.
Natalie started with nothing. She is the reflection of many children in America who are born into families that do not have the physical, economic, or emotional resources to care for them.
Travis very clearly has some sort of anxiety disorder and has been shown to have a history of being bullied and even ridiculed by his own father. God forbid a young boy have any type of sensitivity. Beyond that, his character is a very deliberate example of a survivor of sexual assault- an issue that is never really addressed by the perpetrators.
Taissa was born into a middle-class privileged family and a great deal of pride and ambition that was likely learned or reinforced in some way. She also was a teenage, mixed race, lesbian in the 90's. She had every instinct and drive to succeed despite a world that was structured so that she couldn't.
Jackie was born into a privileged, suburban, white family- but she was still a teenage girl in the 90s with perceptions of who she was forced onto her.
Shauna was the stereotypical poster child of teen angst in modern America, but she also had a deep set insecurity and maladaptive issues that were never looked at or acknowledged.
All of these children undergo a tremendous amount of stress, loss, grief, pain, and both physical and emotional trauma that changes them forever. But then they return to a world that is indifferent to all of that. Their pain is spectacle. Something to be publicly agreed upon as a tragedy. But they don't ever receive the care they need from it. They are shuffled back into a world they no longer fit into and expected to return to their roles as proper, civilized, demure young women and gentleman.
The tragedy of Yellowjackets was never about the horrors of survival in the wilderness- the tragedy has always been that this is a very clear depiction of how society's indifference and persistent marginalization of those considered "other" can push people to the brink of destruction or their own humanity.

Hey! I have recently started a Modern AU Yellowjackets Discord roleplay. Instead of following the 90s timeline, it will be set in 2025. This will place a modern twist onto the group, with the events in the wilderness never had occuring. This server will include social media channels, using a tweet and instagram post creator to mirror the character's social media presence. The roleplay will explore the characters in the modern period and how they use social media to communicate.
This will be a group roleplay, with all of the yellowjackets (and travis). I hope to create a community type feel out of character too and for it to be a joyful place for us to have fun! This will be a casual and comfortable roleplay, and the aim is to have fun! :)
All characters apart from Nat and Travis are open at the moment so feel free to reach out, or interact with this post and I will be in touch.
Thank you for reading <3

Hey!! I'm starting a Yellowjackets roleplay server on discord and am recuriting new members.
This roleplay will follow the wilderness timeline. At this current moment we are only accepting canon characters. The server will revolve around a groupchat, let's just say they had phones lmao, but will also include multiple thread channels.
All characters but Natalie are free at the moment!
Please interact if interested and I will be in touch!!
