#Hellys stuff

[marzimar]

I think it's a very complicated moment for her because she sees innies as subhuman. Yet, Helly is appreciated and respected and loved in a way that Helena never has been. And realizing that this character that you saw as, like a servant, might actually be living a richer life than you, I think that that really affects her. - Dan Erickson (S2, E2 : Goodbye , Mrs. Selvig, Behind the Scenes)

Perfect Blue poster but make it Severance :)

there is still something so supremely funny to me about the fact that milkshake took one day off the severed floor to go settle his beef with some paperclips and all of MDR completely abandoned their jobs and started having hookups all over the office

Every time you find yourself here, it's because you chose to come back. (x)

Severance really went “yep, corporate America is a religious cult” and I respect that so much

Late on my weekly flurry of severance posts but I have to say it feels very strange that there has been NO explicitly Helly-centric moments or conflict. At no point has Helly been alone to think about the fact that she lied to the others; to stew and ponder her true origins and reason for being here. She has not been shown wondering why she was allowed to return or making any personal comments whatsoever. Her proactive and volatile nature has been replaced by a woman who creeps down hallways, knocks on doors before entering, and reminds her coworkers they are safe to converse privately because Milchick said the cameras and microphones were gone despite constantly questioning whether anyone was telling her the truth in the first season. If this were any other show I would be expressing my deep disappointment at her loss of autonomy and the failure of writing to consistently capture this woman and mellowing her out to give room to her male costars and their more important internal conflicts... but this is Severance and that's not Helly at all, it is a woman wearing her skin

I’ve been thinking about Helena and Helly’s rebellious streak a lot. Helly’s rebellion comes from Helena’s subconscious. Helly is rebellious from the moment she wakes up. She will not calm down. She runs through that door hundreds of times, she is relentless in her desperate need for escape. But when she learns she can’t simply escape by thinking inside the box of sending notes or sending a resignation or running out the door or even doing what she did with the extension cord. So she decides to start forming a plan with the other innies to take the company down instead from the inside. And she does little bits of rebellion while she does it. Mapping the facility, walking the halls, opening doors she’s not supposed to, going to O&D. Maybe she can’t escape but she can do little spots of rebellion while she tries to figure out how to escape. Her desperate need to escape cannot be quashed. It’s such a deep desperate need for freedom and autonomy. Now this seems opposite from Helena. Helena seems to be the perfect little Lumon soldier. Perfect at keeping up the Eagan image. When we see her speak outside the severed floor she speaks very calmly,very leveled, and softly. She recites Keir’s principles to Cobelvig when talking about her job. . She says she took a severed job because it sounds “Freaking awesome” She seems to have fully drunk the Eagan kool aid and she is helping best as she can to spread it. But then. I was thinking. Helly wears colors. Helly wears Yellow,she wears bright blue, she wears green,she wears orange. The dress code of Lumon is white and black, gray, navy or pastels. But Helena? Helena wakes up every morning and she chooses a color that goes against the dress code. I don’t think there’s even one outfit Helly’s worn that fits the dress code. Every day. On her first day? She’s wearing a bright blue skirt and a bright blue top. Against the dress code from the jump. And I was thinking. When you see Helena on the outside she’s always got someone surrounding her. At the party it’s Natalie. She’s telling Helena not to drink too much, in the bathroom, Helena’s father comes in, when she’s talking to Cobelvig in the parking lot? There’s a man behind her. When she’s in the meeting about asking for Helly R and the rest of the team back? she’s not participating in the meeting she’s being told they’re going to give Helly back to him. They’re not asking they’re telling. When she’s apologizing for Helly taking over her body she’s reading off a script and she looks anxious afterwards and releases a ton of tension from her body and slumps down. When she’s watching the kiss over and over she looks around making sure she’s not being watched. I don’t think Helena gets to make her own decisions. I think they’re made for her. So Helena pretends to be that loyal Eagan soldier. But she still wears colors. She makes fun of her family’s lore and laughs about it as soon as she’s in a place where she’s not being watched constantly. I think it'll be really illuminating to see if Helly still comes in after their little outdoor excursion where she was literally drowned and forced to become Helly again, if Helena will still be dressed in colors. Cause that's her little rebellion. Helena is just as rebellious as Helly. The difference is, Helena figured out that doing small bits of rebellion while figuring out how to finally escape is what her answer is, long before Helly ever existed. Helly's rebellion is Helena's without the fear, social conditioning and control Helena faces every day. And as an added bonus? Helly has a group of loved ones to help her who would do anything for her. While Helena is alone in her rebellion. So she wears colors every day.
