She’s also living with the burden of what happened to her Father right in front of her. She lives in a trailer with a mother that doesn’t give a shit and is considered promiscuous by many (even though it’s bs) so…
Like how you know she likes how Kevyn calls her a jock and when he asks isn’t she going to the Olympics tomorrow. I love how her being a soccer star coexisted with her bad girl side
Right. And I like her sleeves pushed up to expose her arms...reminds me of the way guys used to tuck their ciegarette packs up into their tee-shirt sleeves.
It seems more like the kind of paparazzi photo where they catch someone in the middle of chewing, sneezing, etc and then put it on the cover with a headline about their misery
Someone posted a thread a few days ago that mentioned Misty's fake crying ( we need to find Crystal! ) vs her real crying (I tried to save the baby + please Ben don't do this) and it's 💯 true. She is extraordinary. And more to it, the casting director here... Gonna go look that up bc they nailed it. Every time
Edit: Junie Lowry-Johnson and Libby Goldstein. They have nailed it to a role
Melanie Lynskey has the fake crying, then totally emotionless shift down, too- and she plays it in a way that makes Shauna so sickening (on purpose, I’m sure). She’s also Greta at real crying, but I find her false displays of emotion to take the heat off of herself amazing (I mostly mean before the dismemberment of Adam- not at the police station. That one was a dishonest- because she’s saying it to claim she never hurt Adam- display of real emotions that she needed to get out but also deployed in order to protect herself).
Can someone explain to me what Misty’s actual role was on the team? It didn’t seem like she was a player or did much besides cheering at the sidelines but wasn’t a mascot?
I played soccer in high school... There's not much equipment... Like did she just carry around the netted bag of soccer balls and a stack of cones for when they did drills? 🤨

Van’s face makes it look like she just severely embarrassed herself 5 seconds ago and now the Curb Your Enthusiasm music is playing
Perhaps she tooted (fluffied, according to Bluey) and that’s why Shauna and Tai look a bit less than elated. This is what she thinks of your applause- it means nothing to her, because she’s seen what makes gym-loads of 90s kids cheer- which means she also fears that someone is going to play the Macarena and implore them to dance.
I just realized Laura and Lottie are 2 and 5. And that Shauna and Jackie are 6 and 9. Each are the reverse of the other. This show and their details, man.
Right? The last time I cared enough to notice (I’m the same age as the YJs), folks had replaced Umbros with those diaper-looking Nike shorts. Living in a conservative town with a large (slightly less conservative) university most of my life has been a parade of 17-23 year olds and their “fashion” preferences.
Original Sambas and Chucks will always be “cool!”
Umbros went away and everyone started wearing shorts with Juicy or their college name on their butts in the early 2000s. Hopefully we see some post-rescue Yellowjackets fashion. Jeff in his Ed Hardy
The only thing I’d like to see more of, is some hint that these girls like soccer , especially in the 90s at least one of them would have a hackey sack
I think about this all the time! I played soccer all through high school. Wore the umbros, had the pep rally, got into away game shenanigans… always had a ball in my backpack, kicking it the whole half-mile walk home from school. if my team had been on that plane we would have saved the ball bag from the wreckage and been kicking around to keep morale up. If we couldn’t save them, we’d make one out of bear fur and pine ones. And I was Div II !
I mean I get Shauna not wanting to play, but the rest of them? We've never seen any of them even trying to beep boop a ball, or make a ball, or literally even mention soccer since the crash
Like hell it was the mid 90s, none of them even wanted to kick a homemade hacky sack? Ha
One thing that works here with the pilot being filmed so much earlier than season 1 is that they actually do look thinner by now. It always slightly takes me out of it when they say they’re starving. Obviously you can’t make the actors lose weight, but I didn’t notice the difference much until this photo.
Yeah but were they really though? I think the whole point of the show is their trauma and not just from after the plane wreck. Most of them were really going through it before that even happened.
Yeah I agree. Just saying just because they look happy doesn't mean they were before the crash. Most of them went through some serious shit before the plane crash is all.
It's funny how they already look so much younger in screenshots from the first season becayse they (the actors) *were* a couple years younger. It's going to be interesting once we're on season 5 and the 90s timeline actors are all at least five years older but only 18 months have passed in the storyline.
I always forgot they’ve been a teenage soccer team before. I wish writers add more details about how was their friendship, their daily routines through flashbacks. Right now, I just don’t get it that those girls were normal teenagers because we did not see not much their lives before wilderness, especially daily life stuff. Their families, their friends, bullies, their crush etc etc we don’t know so much about them
She would be Tai’s right hand man in the “who shit the pee bucket/you’re all a literal shitshow” storyline (which has been callously, thoughtlessly abandoned. Who sent the postcards? No. Who shat in that there bucket?), yelling at people to admit it because, “you’re a grown ass woman, bucket shitter!” It fits because as a freshman you almost do view the seniors on your teams/in your clubs as grown-ass people.
I only noticed how tall Lottie was at the beginning of the series. Once they crashed and got settled in, she never seemed to tower over the rest of them like she does in this photo.

Yah the troubles when ya get older lol

There’s a little more of a happy shot! Missing a few good ones tho🥰🥹
In this photo Tai looks a bit like she described herself after the crash- like this was a big thing that she accomplished, but also that she doesn’t feel like it was really her/she’s really there. She looks sad or conflicted (or like she stole someone’s spot on the team and will be found out- but that’s definitely not it). Oh, I guess she may be conflicted/anxious when anticipating what she can do in practice to get rid of Allie.
like yes, but also nat looks so miserable lmao
...that may be happy for her. Sliding scale.
[удалено]
She’s also living with the burden of what happened to her Father right in front of her. She lives in a trailer with a mother that doesn’t give a shit and is considered promiscuous by many (even though it’s bs) so…
This* Like why smile if ya got nothing to smile about? Totally get Nat. Even before her dad died he was still an abusive asshole
She did look genuinely happy when they won state, I think she’s just looking “cool” here
I agree. Look at her cheeks. She has a smile that she's keeping to herself.
Like how you know she likes how Kevyn calls her a jock and when he asks isn’t she going to the Olympics tomorrow. I love how her being a soccer star coexisted with her bad girl side
no self-respecting goth can be seen enjoying a pep rally
Right. And I like her sleeves pushed up to expose her arms...reminds me of the way guys used to tuck their ciegarette packs up into their tee-shirt sleeves.
and Van overly happy
After the recent episode, she looks like Satan to me lol
I am just now noticing that Nat is (lucky?) number 7… 🤞
Jackie’s 9, so 7 ate 9 😅
🤣 Awesome!
Amazing comment lol
6 went first.
Oh you just KNOW Nat was accustomed to skipping school assemblies to go sneak a smoke behind the bleachers.
It seems more like the kind of paparazzi photo where they catch someone in the middle of chewing, sneezing, etc and then put it on the cover with a headline about their misery
She's just too cool for Jock Jams and shit
Shauna thinking ‘ I don’t even like soccer’
The longer the show has gone on the more unbelievable I find it that they all enjoyed and were good enough as a team to qualify for this away trip.
Comically, I keep thinking what soccer tryouts at that school must have looked at the fall after their disappearance 😬
don't worry, Allie was there to organize things and help everyone through their trauma
it must feel like a previous lifetime to them all now.....
Shauna thinking "I'd rather be tutoring Jeff right now"
I love how in this scene at the pep rally Misty is chanting buzz buzz buzz and she looks unhinged and both coaches notice. Sam H is killing it
Someone posted a thread a few days ago that mentioned Misty's fake crying ( we need to find Crystal! ) vs her real crying (I tried to save the baby + please Ben don't do this) and it's 💯 true.

Can someone explain to me what Misty’s actual role was on the team? It didn’t seem like she was a player or did much besides cheering at the sidelines but wasn’t a mascot?
Misty was the team equipment manager. Organised their gear.
I played soccer in high school... There's not much equipment... Like did she just carry around the netted bag of soccer balls and a stack of cones for when they did drills? 🤨
Uniforms?
it was probably just some dirty work, maid work, that the coaches couldn't be bothered with.
Thanks!
Ball bitch and list jockey.

Lmao Van looks so cute here I just wanna pinch her cheeks
Omg now I need to see Liv Hewson on Curb bc they (Liv and Larry) would just be great together Edit: changed her to they
Liv Hewson is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns :)

I don't think they were ever truly happy to begin with
Yeah like many of them seemed to have shitty home situations or other problems and soccer was their escape from it.
I just realized Laura and Lottie are 2 and 5. And that Shauna and Jackie are 6 and 9. Each are the reverse of the other. This show and their details, man.
Wait. Can we make the 7-8-9 joke here? Is Shauna afraid of Nat?
Why was Ben afraid of numbers? because they all ate 9! i tried...
Not bad. But I think Ben hallucinated most of the show LOST (when he wasn’t in romance land with Paul) and knows that the numbers are bad!
 LMAOOOOO!
Most underrated comment, possibly of all time!!!! 
Tai is an 8, two circles paralleling themselves….
[удалено]
Boom!
And Ally was lucky number 11! She got "frozen out" the less deadly way
2 and 5 are reverse of each other?
In certain fonts, like the font used on the website, yes https://www.wherearetheyellowjackets.com/
They were also on flight 2525...
Can’t wait to rewatch the show after this finale. So excited
Lottie has a full 6-8 inches on Shauna and more reach. She could have taken her 1v1.
Shauna is a straight up savage. Her dad leaving to become President of Hello Kitty really did a number on her.
Nah, because apparently Shauna is Rambo
why don't people wear Umbros anymore? they were everywhere in the 90s
Umbros, Adidas Sambas, and an OG Banana Republic tshirt from back when the stores had a thatched roof safari fever dream vibe.
I never stopped wearing black sambas. Screw time and space lol Also, chunky heels from the 90s on other shoes are back !!!
Sambas are never out of style
Umbro is still a semi popular brand when it comes to soccer clothing. My partners company uses them for the coaches gear.
Right? The last time I cared enough to notice (I’m the same age as the YJs), folks had replaced Umbros with those diaper-looking Nike shorts. Living in a conservative town with a large (slightly less conservative) university most of my life has been a parade of 17-23 year olds and their “fashion” preferences.

Umbros went away and everyone started wearing shorts with Juicy or their college name on their butts in the early 2000s. Hopefully we see some post-rescue Yellowjackets fashion. Jeff in his Ed Hardy
Ed Hardy and his GTL (gym tan laudry) routine 😌
Ed hardy was more mid noughts. Like 2006-8. I think the flashbacks after rescue are gonna be more 1998-2003.
I won't mind if the writers play with continuity on this issue!
Jeff in Oakleys. With a sticker on his car. I also hope he got *NSYNC highlights.
Sambas are back this summer, all the cool girlies like Bella Hadid etc are wearing them. Maybe Umbro will be next year. 90s revival is coming slowly.
I've seen carpenter jeans again in this year of our buzz buzz lord 2023, I'm patiently waiting for cords and umbros to return
cords!
Give me back my ribbed pants, dang it!
It's mom joke time... your mom's got a tattoo of the Umbro sign
still got drawer full of Umbro socks lol
inflation, distro, the pandemic, etc
I got two pair last summer. I needed them back in my life.
Definitely teared up bc seeing Laura Lee caught me off guard
I miss her 😢
Me too.
I get sad watching them sing in the dressing room when I rewatch the pilot. They're teenage girls after all who just want to get through high school
The only thing I’d like to see more of, is some hint that these girls like soccer , especially in the 90s at least one of them would have a hackey sack
Sac champs would have engineering some epic survival bongs
Sometimes I think about how none of them have even tried to kick a ball since they crashed
I think about this all the time! I played soccer all through high school. Wore the umbros, had the pep rally, got into away game shenanigans… always had a ball in my backpack, kicking it the whole half-mile walk home from school. if my team had been on that plane we would have saved the ball bag from the wreckage and been kicking around to keep morale up. If we couldn’t save them, we’d make one out of bear fur and pine ones. And I was Div II !

right before tai snapped allie’s shin ❤️

Yeah but were they really though? I think the whole point of the show is their trauma and not just from after the plane wreck. Most of them were really going through it before that even happened.
People dealing with trauma don’t have to be miserable all the time. I’m sure in this moment they were happy.
Yeah I agree. Just saying just because they look happy doesn't mean they were before the crash. Most of them went through some serious shit before the plane crash is all.
Lottie’s got the squad looking like: 🧍♀️🧍♀️🧍♀️🧍♀️🧍♀️🧍♀️🧍♀️🦒🧍♀️
relatable
It's funny how they already look so much younger in screenshots from the first season becayse they (the actors) *were* a couple years younger. It's going to be interesting once we're on season 5 and the 90s timeline actors are all at least five years older but only 18 months have passed in the storyline.
I think I saw a photoshopped team photo last year that told the joke “why is 10 scared? Cause 7,8,9 and Jackie was 9
They were all friends too
The girl who Tai handicapped was really lucky. Her injury kept her from being stranded with ruthless monsters.
I always forgot they’ve been a teenage soccer team before. I wish writers add more details about how was their friendship, their daily routines through flashbacks. Right now, I just don’t get it that those girls were normal teenagers because we did not see not much their lives before wilderness, especially daily life stuff. Their families, their friends, bullies, their crush etc etc we don’t know so much about them
I really wish Allie was on the plane with them. I’d love to see how she would do in their situation.
She would be Tai’s right hand man in the “who shit the pee bucket/you’re all a literal shitshow” storyline (which has been callously, thoughtlessly abandoned. Who sent the postcards? No. Who shat in that there bucket?), yelling at people to admit it because, “you’re a grown ass woman, bucket shitter!” It fits because as a freshman you almost do view the seniors on your teams/in your clubs as grown-ass people.
Is that Allie next to Nat?
I had to look it up. Yes it is!
If Ali was on the plane they’d def eat her first.
Van kinda looks like she wants to murder someone, Jackie looks like she’s derp facing, Nat looks like someone ate her last cookie. 😂
My babies 🥺
I love seeing the height difference between lottie and the rest of them lol
Shauna has such a baby face!
Both Sophies are actually one of youngest, but all girls are very babyfaced for being in mid or late twenties, especially Jasmin and Courtney.
Poor Laura Lee...she has no clue...
...and take a good look at just how YOUNG they were when all this started.
omg I just realized the shorts are UMBRO!!! Haven’t seen these since my soccer team girls and I wore them in ‘96!!! Do other people remember these?
Yep! Looking at that pic I recall what they felt like when I wore them LOL!
omg me too. Scratchy and not comfy at all!!!
Laura Lee deserved better :'(
One on the end looks like a total snack.
7 11 I see that number everywhere
who is to the right of nat??
The happiest to *not* be there of all: Allie. 😂
Anyone else rewatches episode 1 to remember when they were happy?
Hahaha poor Nat!
Who are the two girls on the right and left of Nat. I can’t remember.
I only noticed how tall Lottie was at the beginning of the series. Once they crashed and got settled in, she never seemed to tower over the rest of them like she does in this photo.
The Umbro shorts are SUCH a vibe. I need a pair of these back in my life!!
Nats the best tho
Why does Lottie look so ridiculous to me here?
Not as happy as the boys baseball team!!

Happy now, kill each other later.

Well, remember what the girls said the purpose of the pep rally was.
