hey so the hill i’m gonna die on today is that i want to know more about lottie’s connection to her maori heritage and how it effects her interpretation of the wilderness and what it means to her, esp now that we have simone kessel as adult lottie and it’s confirmed that the character of lottie is maori thanks to both of them

i want to understand what it means to lottie and how that effects her out there and effects what she feels and believes and i will not stop pressing this agenda until everyone in the fandom is talking about it so let’s go lesbians, time to step it up

c'mon gays, let's talk more about this

bc this could be the perfect way to close the gap between lottie's visions and her schizophrenia without resorting to harmful tropes about mental illness

of course, it would have to happen with some form of counselling from simone kessell or hiring maori writers to work on the show so the story don't reinforce harmful tropes about indigenous ppl and spirituality

but this could be a way for lottie to at least get rid of the guilt about her visions and understand them less as a message directly from god and something to be obeyed without questioning and more as things for her to meditate and reflect upon

bc, well, this "visions as a message directly from god and something to be obeyed without questioning" is the most widespread explanation in christianity, although not the only one, and, when lottie came to laura lee, she basically just came asking for a confirmation of what she already knew by ear, and laura lee was too young and naive about theology to know any better

so, lottie getting in touch with her heritage would be a gateway for her to deconstruct these notions and, perhaps, even find some kind of healing bc, as a mixed race person, some of her emotional struggles probably have a lot to do with her concilliating her identities and finding her place in the world

so, yeah, yellowjackets should explore more of lottie's maori heritage in the next seasons, it's not a want, it's a need at this point

YJs Field Positions Headcanons

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

"it's shauna's fault" "it's because of lottie!" "laura lee started it in a way" well EYE blame stevie nicks

to me, this is canon, bc adult lottie's cult leader persona feels 100% like it's based off of stevie nicks tbh
