Friendly reminder that John Gaius, in TLT universe, is on Tumblr RIGHT NOW. Friendly reminder that he could be reblogging your mutual's post AT THIS MINUTE. friendly reminder that who knows, maybe that random account that just liked your post about bones? IT COULD BE JOD-
peter and remus weren’t described to “tag along for no reason”
pete betrayed jily guys
the prank?? literally being treated as a joke???
i love them but they literally bullied people. happy families typically don’t do that.
the complex dynamics between the marauders era characters being reduced to "one big happy family :)))" will forever be my 13th reason.
like PLEASE let them hate each other. let them be ambivalent about each other. i beg of you.
no one asked me to explain this but i want to
plato has a quote “opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance”
in the pilot episode, misty receives a prank call from some girls accusing her of doing anal, to which she responds quoting plato. or rather, misquoting plato
she says “opinion is the WILDERNESS between knowledge and ignorance”
i see this as intentional on the writers part since the word “wilderness” holds a lot of weight in the yellowjackets universe. the girls use “wilderness” to refer to the force/deity they encounter in the wild and blame for all the sinister things that take place/that they do
many people theorize whether or not the “wilderness” is supernatural or if it is a figment of the girls imagination that they use to cope with what happened in the canadian rockies
i argue that the show will never reveal the answer. the question itself is the main theme of the show, and the writers toy with us using plausible deniability with any supernatural event (lottie’s schizophrenia, tai’s genetic mental health issue (??), etc.)
i believe this because of the aforementioned misty line; the writers told us plainly that this “wilderness” the girls believe in is a result of the blind spot between ignorance and knowledge about what is really going on
we will never know if the “wilderness” is real or not, because the only thing that is real is that the yellowjackets did what they had to do to survive and now they have to live with it
i want to give the Yellowjackets writers kudos for dropping the line “opinion is the wilderness between knowledge and ignorance” in the pilot episode
and i want to send my condolences that it has gone so far unnoticed
phenomenal theme foreshadowing
being a gaylor in the swiftie community prepared me for being a prongsfoot shipper in the marauders fandom

narcissa black malfoy and lily evans potter.
so similar.
both sisters. both wives. both mothers.
yet different.
narcissa who grew up knowing the importance of family. blood is thicker than water and words are shaper than knives. narcissa who never cared much for being a daughter but wore her role as sister proudly. she looked up to them. she learned from them—what to do and what not to do.
lily who was a sister only in name. who hated spending time at home when her real family had never lived there or even stepped foot in her neighborhood. lily who found solace in school and magic, far away from anyone related to her.
self perseverance is in narcissa’s nature. she never acts until necessary. never stands out or speaks up. and she survives because of it.
lily had never liked being quiet and refused to do so when her friends’ lives are at stake. lily who refused the most powerful dark wizard in britain thrice and lost her life for it.
two women who would do it all over again if it meant saving their sons.
lily, responding:
And I’ll only have to do that for sixty more years, but you, you will have to miss me forever. My bones won’t even be left to dig up, broken down to minerals, and you’ll still be missing me.
toxic vampire marlene to human lily after a break up:
you'll think of me every month, you will remember me every time. love, you won't even be able to bleed without thinking of me
for the fandom that loves drarry and jegulus, and complains that the female characters (and sapphic ships)—specifically lily evans—dont get enough love, theres barely any noise for narcissa x lily
the slytherinxgryffindoor, black family drama, foils whos love for their sons saved the wizarding world
black cat, rich girl and academic weapon muggleborn bond over their estranged sibling dynamics and want for a family to protect and love
the tension between present narcissa and snape (especially when she has him form an unbreakable vow to protect her son) when they both wanted lily but fumbled it to protect themselves
the angst when draco comes home complaining about the potter boy—who, just like in narcissa’s life, lily is hidden within, not in surname but in the eyes and the heart.
the extra weight it puts on the scene where narcissa defies Voldemort in telling him that harry is dead. my son is safe so i will give you the same favour, lily.
both lily and narcissa marrying into families notoriously loud and opposing on the wizengamot—marrying young to the pretty and popular, but also asshole boys from school
narcissa watching draco complain about how harry is dating the cool jock, and then much later watching her son mourn his dead lover
Lawyer Sirius eviscerating his opponents with bullet-proof arguments and biting wit while looking supremely bored.
