adoration from two angles [click for hq]

[myromeow]

i hope people understand and come to terms with the fact that markgemma’s relationship will quite literally never be the same again. like do you guys get that. mark scout has been grieving her for years and to escape the grief and forget her he voluntarily chose to basically get a lobotomy and have a disconnect with himself. so for people to think in episode 10 that mark would leave lumon with gemma and then live happily ever after makes zero sense considering that he’s reintegrated and he’s going to have conflicted feelings about hellyna while being with gemma. also innie mark does not love her (he cares about her though), and he’s a part of outie mark. it’s been YEARS. mark got what he wanted and he’s not aware of it, but a part of him has already moved on from her. im excited to see how it develops next season

MARK & HELLY + kisses

Helly rebels against a tyrannical system not only because she has an innate sense of justice, but because she has nothing to lose. Born into oppression without indoctrination. She is a clear-cut victim. She doesn’t have to unlearn anything to act on her gut feeling without internal collapse. It's easy and natural for the audience to love her.

Helena was born into a gilded prison. She is trauma bonded to a cult and cannot conceptualize what a normal life looks like. She survives by aligning herself with the abuser (her father, the board, the mythos of Kier). At Lumon, she's a paper tiger, clinging to the illusion of power to justify sacrificing everything that makes her a person. Because power has been used against her for her entire life, it's the only thing she believes can keep her safe.

At surface level, for a good portion of the audience, it's easy to see Helena as the oppressive force, directly antagonistic to the obvious hero, Helly. It's easy for them to ignore the context clues that show Helena as the latest cog in a never-ending cycle of generational trauma, because we empathize with Helly so strongly. It's easier to blame our parents for raising us poorly than to face the reality that they are deeply flawed, broken people too.

So when Helena does morally dubious things like stealing Helly's identity and calling the innies animals, it's easy for the audience to write her off as an evil wench who should be banished to non-existence, giving her body to the person who actually deserves it. But how long until Helly gets broken down by life? How long until Helly decides she has something to lose (MARK) and is forced to compromise her morals and actions to protect herself? We've already seen a glimpse of this during the season 2 finale and people are so allergic to the idea that they're convinced she must actually be Helena.

Helena didn't choose Lumon any more than Helly did. Helly is morally lucky because she's free of the psychological chains Helena was born into. I have a feeling those chains are coming for her soon.

“they sent him away to a better school and he hated it. he just hated it. he wasn’t well, he was sick, and he mewed and he cried and in the end he got out and he came home, under his own steam.”

igby goes down really hits different after ewan’s eulogy

i’m sorry but the way this season ended is killing me in retrospect 😭 like ur saying after all this—like they literally pulled a military style operation to find rescue and get away from shauna—they just walked right into their places as shauna’s bridesmaids in her wedding w jeff?? ok girl

[myromeow]

Crying😭 Van was a local queer icon for sure

thinking about this picture

[myromeow]

I’ve seen people calling chappel roan miserable a lot and that kind of reads misogynistic to me? like…. a woman isn’t a dancing clown for you and suddenly she’s miserable. miserable for saying all her friends who have kids are in hell like? What year is it again 1952?

men can be miserable old farts and we sit around and clap

[myromeow]

her hoping that fans can have sympathy for hellyna. ☹️makes me so sad and frustrated that a chunk of people don’t feel empathy for neither helly or helena and call her the most disgusting things ever

[myromeow]

my good friend roman roy was right, sometimes getting off requires making it wrong.
