Please. If you dont know how to do something, take the time to learn. Quit fucking everything up because you decided you needed to have something you dont know how to make, and then expecting a quick fix. The quick fix is education and practice, try reading a book instead of watching equally ignorant YouTubers doing the same stupid shit. Just because the technology is old doesnt mean its easy. There are no shortcuts, embrace the journey of knowledge and stop trying to pump out trash projects. Its not a race to see who can knit the fastest. There are no knitting police to tell you what you can and cant do, but dont expect perfection, ever. Ive been knitting for 30 years (shakes fist at sky) Ive learned a lot of lessons, made millions of stitches, and I still make lots of mistakes. It's human, its fine. With AI and uncanny valley psychosis ripping through the culture, we need mistakes. It is why we have these weird hobbies. But seriously, learn to knit and purl before you decide to make an intarsia jacket, or you will just psyche yourself out and think youre a failure. Like wtf are these kids thinking.

Some are crazier than others. I have a few, I will keep adding to this post as I think if them, please add more 😂

In no particular order and without elaboration-

Either Lottie or Travis burned down the cabin, Amityville style, while sleepwalking and possessed by the spirit of cabin daddy.

Pre-crash Jackie had a darker side to her nobody knew about.

Shaunas post partum fever dream was more truth than fantasy. In turn, the cute summer camp vibe from season 3 was more fantasy than reality.

Other Tai is going to torture Melissa nearly to death. Normal Tai will convince them to leave her for dead and not eat her liver. But someone will bring her back, probably Misty. But they end up eating her anyway.

Adult Lottie has at least 10 years of post-hospitalization secrets shes hiding. Also she faked her death.

The adults will have to return to the wilderness for a final hunt. It will come down to Shauna and Misty. The butcher and the owl.

Speaking of owls, Misty has more agency and power than she recognizes, but as more of her teammates die off, she is starting to realize she is the catalyst.

Walter is a red herring. He is also hiding secrets, but he is jealous of their proximity to power. Hes like Syndrome in the Incredibles. He just wants to be involved.

Akilah didnt return to camp because she decided to live in the cave. She survives the rescue, but has a harder time integrating and later returns to the wilderness and lives out there alone as an adult. ETA- If she is hiding out in the cave during the feast of Mari, shauna is going to want to hunt her. I wouldn't be surprised if they were caught mid-hunt when the rescue arrives and that is why Akilah survives and is the start of the post rescue rumors.

The necklace was originally given to Jackie from Jeff.

Travis and his mom are gonna have a rough time reuniting. His parents were having major problems. I've seen the theory that Adam was their younger half brother, but i hope thats not the case. Besides, Natalie would have known if Travis had another brother.

Jeff is going to lose a leg

Questions-

What happened to Krystal/Kristen? Hopefully the wolves ate her and not the extrajackets. Is it possible she dragged herself to the caves? Is she Javis friend? More than likely we will never know, but it would be cool.

What happened to the wolves? Were they sick and starving too, if the deer were?

Why did Van survive a wolf attack and nearly burned alive twice just to die so easily and quietly? It seems like such a waste of her character.

How did Lottie get the necklace, or did she just buy a fake?

What will Callie fuck up this time?

Spoilers for the movie if you havent seen it. It is almost 40 years old now. If you havent seen this movie, you should ASAP. It is one of the best movies about long term women's friendships ever made. I watched it when I was little and I loved quoting the lines, but I watched again yesterday and I have some observations.

Most obviously, the scene Misty performs for Shaunas baby shower was a masterclass in foreshadowing. In the movie, this scene is Sally Field coming to terms with the reality that her worst nightmare has come true. As her mother and primary caretaker for most of her life, M'Lynn knew Shelbys physical limitations and tried to contain her within them so she wouldnt lose her. But Shelby was determined to live her life the way she wanted and she died as a result. Throughout the movie, M'Lynn tells her she cant do things because "shes special."

Complicated relationships- the movie is about a group of 6 women who have apparently known each other most of their lives, and they dont really explain the connections other than the mother and daughter. They all come from different wealth classes and have very different lives. They seem to go for long periods of time without talking but always come together when they need to.

"You look like hammered shit"- i just thought this was hilarious. Tom Skerrit says this to his arch enemy Ouisa when he first sees her freaking out and complaining about the noise hes making scaring the birds from the trees with a pistol. Simone also says it to Tai when she thinks Sammy is at her house and it turns out to be a hallucination.

The armadillo cake- made with red velvet cake and gray icing, they all talk about how ugly and gruesome it is, and how its like cutting into a live animal. Ouisa gives Tom Skerrit the butt piece. Shelby and M'Lynn both agree they hate it but have to accept it.

Daryl Hannah's character goes through a seemingly random religious epiphany and goes from being bubbly and happy to deeply anxious about God and constantly praying and worrying about everyone's eternal souls.

There is no great revelation at the end of this movie, Sally Field simply says "life goes on" and it does.

Idk where this is going, they are just some parallels I noticed and im spitballing. Im not really sure why yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if unreliable narrator Shauna's homebirth didnt happen as it was told. Is it possible Shauna actually didnt survive the birth and they did eat the baby?? It feels like a stretch but why do they keep referencing the baby eating scene if it was all Shaunas fever dream fantasy? And we never see the baby, just a bundle of fur. Something aint right.

ETA- I just thought of another connection. When Shauna beats Lottie, it is triggered by Misty humming... something, I cant figure out what the song is. Shauna says, "why are you singing that??" Im guessing because it was the song she sang to her baby in her fantasy, as he was starving to death. Or it was what Lottie sang to him when she breastfeeds him. But M'Lynn was singing and humming to Shelby when she was also dying in a coma. I think its interesting that thats what triggered her grief rage and need to hit something "real hard"

She spent so long resisting Lottie and telling everyone it was all fake but by the end of season 3 she is the antler queen and giggling while counting Mari down. When did she start believing, was it after the baby or the fire? Was it when Tai started joining? Is she just using the religion to justify postpartum homicidal rage? Im kind of leaning towards the latter. Id like to see how that transitioned.

ETA i also want to see how Shauna handled the birth of Callie, I hope we can see her as a young mother. Placenta previa can happen in subsequent pregnancies so I wonder what she told her doctor, and was she overprotective or barely present?

I admit this is petty and I feel like such a grouchy old lady but the appropriation of fast fashion and knitting has gotten ridiculous.

Fiber arts are more than hobbies, they are skilled crafts. It doesnt take talent to learn knitting or crochet, it takes learning. You have to build your skill set and understand how it works and WHY. As with any skill, there are steps that are boring and you dont want to do. Gauge swatching, weaving in ends, blocking, PURLING (the horror), they can all be avoided if you dont want to do them but you do need to know how to do them and be ok with doing them with the same care and attention you give to making your miles and miles of boring petiteknit stockinette stitches.

Also, there will be lots of unintended lessons learned and thats ok too. Ive made dozens of projects that didnt turn out. Ive spent months of hours and hundreds of dollars on a project just to have it ruined in the block in 10 minutes. Frogging isnt a failure, its a lesson. It sucks but its valuable.

Fiber arts are slow and methodic and do not fit well within the internet sphere, where everyone is trying to get as much as they can as fast as possible. They are a lesson of what you can accomplish in small increments, and also impermanence. Slow down, pay attention, and quit whining. That shortcut isnt a shortcut, its going to make your FO look like shit and make you feel like you wasted your time and you suck. You dont, you just need to shift your perspective and learn to do it right.
