Yeah this is my wet hay perfume. this one’s my wet forest soil one, but then this other one is just plain wet soil. This one’s rotten citrus wet soil. That’s my fresh tennis ball one. Ohh and that one is supposed to represent the horrors of war lol
obsessed with the Helena and Irving parallel and what it says about the aspects of our identity we think are fundamental (but aren't)...
Like Outie Irving assumes his Innie is just as radically anti-Lumon as he is. He assumes his hatred of Lumon is something ingrained in his personality! That's why he stays up at night drinking coffee and making paintings, because he hopes that when his innie dreams about the testing floor, he'll say "okay bet" and start exploring. That's what Outie Irving would do, after all. But he miscalculated! His hatred of Lumon isn't inherent--- his desire for meaning and art and spirituality is inherent. That's what his hatred for Lumon is built on. But in a world where there's no meaning outside of Lumon propaganda, of COURSE his innie would become ridiculously devoted to the company.
And Helena!! She is the corporation, that's her whole identity. She presumably assumed that Helly would be just as pro-Lumon as she is. But she miscalculated too! Her devotion to the company isn't inherent, her headstrong and entitled nature is what's inherent! And in a world where she's denied any agency whatsoever, that manifests as rebellion.
It's the same dynamic flipped on its head. They both sent their innies in there with opposite intentions--- one to take down the company, one feed the company's expansion--- only to realize that rebellion and devotion aren't inherent characteristics. Their innies have become the exact opposite of their outie selves, while still being exactly the same!! Because even though your personality is inherent, the values you hold are determined circumstantially. OUGH IT'S SO GOOD.
coping by drawing them being fun and awesome and normal and silly
Laptops are always so much more Fucked than phones in my experience. A laptop is like a beautiful horse that wants nothing more than to break all of its legs. A decently solid android phone will act normal
A laptop is a living creature. It has weight to it. A laptop breathes and produces body heat. And it wants to die badly. Mobile phones are not sentient like that & that's why they don't experience mental illness. A phone problem is like "out of storage :(" or "charging port broke". Laptops will cough weakly as they fade in and out of consciousness
You will hold a laptop in your arms and it's like "I can't feel my legs". And you tell it girl you never had any
shooo
cant even be mad at my cat for trying to steal my yarn ball. its basically the most classic thing for a cat to steal
theres no such thing as tmi to me. i want to live in your ribcage.
having a cat is so miraculous. this little guy wants to sleep in my bed with me and purr on my chest. it’s his favorite hobby. no one told him to do that he just Loves His Mommy
nevermind he’s extremely naughty and has terrorized multiple people this morning
i kind of love that mark and gemma’s relationship is such a blank spot in severance so far. no flashbacks to their life together, mark never talks about her, devon has to skirt around barely mentioning her. nothing of substance has been conveyed about their relationship beyond the intensity of how her death shattered mark. it’s simultaneously the motivation behind his every move and something we as the audience know nothing about. there’s this harsh haunting nothing where those memories and love should be — the severance procedure represented by her total absence from the story. mark was so blinded by his grief that he followed gemma down into hell without even knowing she was there. it’s orpheus and eurydice playing out their roles totally absent of will and intention. they were face to face on the severed floor and he was unable to recognize her and unable to save her because he cut her out of his brain in order to live.
