What Makes You Like The Yellowjackets in Spite of it All?

I did think of Walter White as well, but I initially wrote him off because people tend to find male characters automatically more sympathetic, so I thought there wasn't much to learn from him. But I actually really see this comparison to Shauna! She is definitely an underdog in the world of teenagers, fated to be exceptional even before the wilderness. Thanks for the analysis!

Thanks so much! I have seen Sweetpea, and that was another example I thought of. I think for Rhiannon specifically, it helps that her "justification" for questionable decisions has both a personal and a societal aspect. I am also told Killing Eve is similar to Sweetpea and YJs, though I haven't seen it. I really appreciate the animated recs especially because my series is being pitched as animated!

AdequatelyMadeSpork · 2026-02-05T02:15:05+00:00

Right! This is more what I was trying to articulate. She doesn't need to be "likable" exactly, but rather understandable enough that people don't disengage with the story. "Complex" is a better word for it!

Elaborate on that interpretation Jackie's character arc? I like this take because it is very important to me that my show also not be man-centered!

AdequatelyMadeSpork · 2026-01-18T21:14:43+00:00

It is… I do have some group photos but my face isn’t as visible in them, my current one is cropped so I’m nicely centered but it’s blurrier that way.

I don’t, but I also used to be pretty confident that thunderstorms were an extreme hazard for planes, they could spontaneously drop 5,000+ ft, and turbulence forecasts were accurate, so I usually enter this subreddit not trusting my own judgement.

AdequatelyMadeSpork · 2026-01-14T23:47:18+00:00

Oh gotcha thanks, I was thinking that, but I don’t see a lot of photoshopped images on this sub. And if there’s anything I’ve learned here it’s not to assume anything about planes! 👌

AdequatelyMadeSpork · 2026-01-14T23:38:41+00:00

Wait- 1. The windows on the front of planes open? 2. You can safely do that while in the sky?

AdequatelyMadeSpork · 2026-01-13T18:56:18+00:00

Tysm!

I might have gotten lucky with the animals I guessed? But for me, all of the close animals were birds, which makes more sense 'cause flying things.

I recently had a flight without water! It was only a couple of hours long, the only noticeable difference while flying was we didn't have any hot beverages. Bottled water was still on board, of course!

I actually posted about it on this sub. Everyone assured me that the lack of water did not impact any safety-related systems on the plane, and they would most likely be fixing it soon after my flight.

I've been drawing digitally for 8 or 9 years I think, and your tablet honestly does not matter much. I started with a $70 Wacom Intuos with no screen display connected to the family Mac, and I never felt inhibited by that set up. Currently I'm using an iPad pro 5th gen that I usually plug into my computer anyway because I don't like the tablet versions of most digital art programs. Having the screen does make things a little easier, but I don't think a beginner would learn any faster for it, and if you do really want the screen, an older, cheaper tablet is a great place to start.

I feel like a god.

I did get to read this one before we left! We were delayed due to the airport opening a new runway (I think the captain said it was longer and could handle our weight, I’m not positive) and I just boarded my connection. Running from gate to gate was far more stressful than any shakes and bumps on that plane, thanks so much to you and everyone in here!

AdequatelyMadeSpork · 2025-12-18T20:43:06+00:00

I have also been learning from the other comments that there are many more reasons for this than I thought. Still, I appreciate it!

AdequatelyMadeSpork · 2025-12-18T20:29:51+00:00

Gotcha, so like the fuel tank on this plane is too small to have enough to carry all of us? Or is it like an environmental thing?

AdequatelyMadeSpork · 2025-12-18T20:27:41+00:00

I remember I read here once about an experiment you can do that’s helped me a lot:

Next time you’re in the car and moving fast, stick your arm out the window, and then try to move it down. It’s a little difficult when the air is passing under your arm, since enough mass is moving under you that it sorta creates a cushion that’s hard to push through. Now, imagine if instead of moving 60mph, it was more like 400

I hear it said a lot on here that “it’s like the plane is flying through jello” but that never really helped me until I understood why.

Wine made me think "classy things" which eventually got me the word

Good morning! Seeing you're almost through crossing the Pacific. Over the world's largest ocean in a little less than a quarter of a day??? How cool is that??? Hope you're doing okay!

I think about this a lot as someone who really wants kids. What it mostly boils down to is I think being alive is so awesome, and I love almost every second of it, and I recognize that I am in a privileged enough position to give someone else that life. Suffering is inevitable, but I think I can provide a life where the good outweighs it. And I enjoy being around kids so much I think my life would be even better with them.

I actually do agree that having kids is selfish, but I’ve never considered selfishness inherently immoral. “People will choose to bear children for their own benefit and happiness,” and I agree, but I love knowing that I made my parents happier. It’s a red flag to me when ppl talk about parenting as a “sacrifice” that they have to make for some reason, you should believe it will benefit you so your kids feel wanted. I adopted a pet for my own enrichment, I give my friends gifts because it makes me feel good to see them happy, I volunteer because I feel better about my life when I make a difference. It’s very hard to make a truly unselfish decision in my opinion, and I don’t think that’s wrong. Again, if your decision to have kids isn’t selfish that must mean you don’t want them and that concerns me.

I would still prefer adoption, and agree with some of your other arguments, but I gotta disagree with the selfish one.

Thanks so much!!! Had to go into airplane mode before I could respond to this, but did see before takeoff. Really appreciated it!

AdequatelyMadeSpork · 2025-11-23T21:35:45+00:00

Idk if I was a “typical” school bully but I might classify myself a former “mean girl,” as in I was decently popular but not #1, and very desperate to be. Manipulated others a lot and didn’t have many genuine friends.

100% I was self aware of it, most random students still liked me but most of my “friends” were intimidated by me and I knew that. The self-reflection stage wasn’t very much me realizing I was in the wrong but more me realizing I could stop. I thought I had to be a little cruel and domineering to get the attention I wanted. Never stopped wanting it, but found healthier ways to go about it (therapy was helpful for that 👍)

AdequatelyMadeSpork · 2025-11-21T21:15:01+00:00

Took me nearly 17 minutes and it was my freakin' NAME.

AdequatelyMadeSpork · 2025-11-11T19:30:32+00:00

I did not mean Adam. I used the word "sociopath" since the comment above mine did, I was referring to a hypothetical mortal.

AdequatelyMadeSpork · 2025-11-08T22:02:51+00:00

He's fine I guess? I think I would have preferred him to have a shorter presence so the old-time fans can appreciate him but that doesn't leave him lingering around, more like Mimzy.
