Midway through December, Eddie’s publishing house puts on a holiday party at their HQ all the way in NYC.

Okay – all the way might be a little dramatic. New York isn’t too far a haul from where Eddie and Steve put down roots in Massachusetts, but with three hellions under the age of seven, anything outside of their typical routine is a stretch.

They’re making it work though – anything for an opportunity to get some childless time together – and they’ve got Robin and Nancy watching the girls so they can stay overnight in the city, and they’re getting all dolled up too (Steve is wearing an enormous cableknit sweater with a turtleneck underneath and, seriously, Eddie had no idea that many layers could still be that fucking hot until he met Steve). 

Normally Eddie wouldn’t give a shit (he likes to bring a kind of come as you are type of vibe to the function, typically), but he’s actually looking forward to an evening spent wearing clothes that aren’t covered in snot and craft glitter and food.

He’s wearing these dark grey plaid trousers and he’s got a silk-ish black button-down on over a black undershirt, tucked in and unbuttoned simultaneously, and he’s topping it all off with a positively ancient leather jacket that he’s had for longer than he can even remember.

He looks pretty fuckin’ snazzy, if he’d say so himself.

Eddie is putting the finishing touches on his look – selecting the perfect assortment of rings and chains – when the door pushes open and his four-year-old, Robbie, enters the room.

Robbie pulls a confused kind of face as she looks him up and down.

Eddie furrows his eyebrows.

“What’s that look for?”

Robbie’s still got her nose all scrunched up as she says, “What happened to you?”

And now Eddie is offended because he actually thinks he looks pretty great, thanks, and he could do without judgement from his pre-schooler (who still gets dressed with her shirt on backwards half the time, just for the record).

“Amelia Robin, you cannot be serious.”

“What happened to you?” she repeats.

“Oh, you’re gonna double down on that?”

Robbie doesn’t even bother responding, just skitters back out from whence she came or whatever. He can hear Robin just behind him trying not to laugh.

“Did you tell her to say that?” he asks her, because it’s far from outside the realm of possibility.

“I swear on all that is holy I didn’t,” she snickers, “That was totally her.”

Eddie sighs.

“Y’know, Steve’s got all this big talk about oh, she’s you, Ed, she’s just like you,” Eddie says, his voice going all high and mocking, “But that – that was pure Steve.”

They head downstairs not too long later where Steve is walking Nancy through the insane binder he stores all of the girls' info in.

“Hey,” Steve says, a grin growing on his face, “Look at you.”

“Eugh,” Robin groans, “Can you guys leave already and be gross outside my line of sight.”

“You look good as hell,” Steve ignores her as he tugs just a little on the hem of Eddie’s coat.

“Can you tell your daughter that, please.”

Can we talk about Ms Casey instantly clueing into Burt and Irving’s interest in each other? To our knowledge, she only ever saw them interact once outside the wellness room, and when Irving mentioned to Mark that he wanted to seek Burt’s counsel.

It’s obvious to us, the viewers, their interest, but is it to someone who’s only “lived” for 100+ hours and only ever interacts with people through therapy?

On top of this, her encouragement by telling Irving that Burt was in the conference room, that seemed impulsive and almost somewhat defiant. A glimpse of humanity breaking through the carefully structured facade that’s been placed upon her. Love transcends severance.

Irvs final call to Dylan to ‘hang in there’. Irv telling Dylan not to get distracted by the propaganda. Irv reminding Dylan why they’re doing this in the first place. Irv asking Dylan to continue their mission, even if he won’t be there to help anymore.

being a fan of false/ren/both atm is kinda weird and surreal in these times because you have to carefully tread around in your mind to avoid thinking about upsetting things (which consist of like 50% of the total stuff in your head) and you have to rewire your longtime neural pathways but it’s necessary and doable lol

[annieedisonfriendofellen]

would love to sit down with chidi anagonye and watch severance together. I just know he’d be so horrified

the thing i keep coming back to with this severance ep is that. irving went out choosing real genuine human connection over the manufactured connection he used to have with “kier’s greater purpose”. despite lumon trying to beat the love out of him, he chose love. and in that moment he became useless to the capitalist machine. because he showed his humanity. he showed that he valued something more highly than lumon. than kier. than his place as a cog in the capitalist machine. and most importantly he showed it is possible to fucking scare them. because if irving b alone can threaten the future ceo of lumon, imagine what they can do together. and THAT’S why they killed him. the jackboot only jumps down on people standing up etc.
