effectively killing two of your protagonists who are actually the same protagonist by forcing them to develop into a kind of mutual twin-absorbed-in-the-womb type chimeric synthesis of each other thereby introducing a third new protagonist who is actually both and neither of them. and at the end of season two episode three no less.

innie mark is gonna have to watch himself watch petey die and do nothing about it because he doesn’t know him. outie mark is gonna have to watch himself talk to his wife for hours and do nothing about it because he doesn’t know her. mark is gonna feel the love for his wife and the love for helly at the same time. two different people inhabiting one brain. i’m so sick

helena eagan whose destiny from birth was to be the future serene and placid face of lumon, who never once wavered from that path, even getting severed to prove her commitment to kier's vision, watching her innie be imperfect, impulsive, unsure, freely and openly affectionate and then receive affection and concern in turn with no strings attached.......yeah baby i'd rewind that security footage too

The concept of Kier's """twin""" is so interesting when paralleled with Severance. Kier jerked off in the forest and was ashamed of it, so he made up a fake brother to blame the act on. Someone else to take the blame and get punished. It was him who jerked off, not me. He was the sinner, not me. So Dieter got punished, not Kier. The Innies really are just the Outies' punching bags to take the punishments, and bear the consequences of whatever their Outies do. Mark drinking all day and leaving Mark S to deal with the hangovers. Gabriella wanting kids, but leaving Gabby to bear the pregnancy and childbirth. Severed workers not wanting to work, so their Innies have to do it.

severance is like [45-50 minutes of life-altering television that leave you wanting to walk into the ocean or perhaps perform a self-immolation]

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.

mark finding out that his innie is obsessed with ricken’s shitty book so funny to me. imagine learning that your worksona was revolutionized by colleen hoover. i’d kms

[queenerdloser]

i don't want her memory. i want my own.

[queenerdloser]

it’s so deeply sad that helly probably longs to be a bush girl but helena absolutely keeps that thing bald as hell
