Percy’s “crashing a car after annabeth smiles at him” to “blowing up a volcano after annabeth kisses him” pipeline is going to hit hard

It’s the casual way Mobius sets his chaotic boyfriend The God of Mischief loose on everyone. Mobius is so attuned to Loki, he immediately knows how he’s going to react, offering him a gentle warning or permission to proceed. And Loki carefully waits for that permission before he acts, implying this is a familiar dynamic that’s been established beforehand.

I literally cannot get over the religious allegory in Severance. More specifically how the Eagan handbook and The YOU you are by Ricken are presented as opposing religious texts in the innie world. Like The YOU you are is so incredibly important to Mark's innie while being something that outie Mark wouldn't even open is just so poignant. I love the idea that while Ricken is for sure a weirdo he also has ideas that are transformative for the right crowd.

His book is redundant in the outie world because it contains things an outie is already aware of (and some things that an outie would know are false depictions of history). Mostly sense of self and relationships. But an Innie has no prior info on how any of these social/personal conventions are supposed to work except what they are fed by Lumon so a book full of drawn-out explanations of what it means to be a person and what it means to have relationships with other people would in fact change an innie's life enough to warrant a religion-like following of the book. Much like how the Handbook functions for Innie's like Irving.

THE CAST OF ‘HOUSE OF THE DRAGON’ REACTING TO HELAEMOND'S THEORIES

AEMOND is the father of helaena's kids.

PHIA: ‘how do you feel about that?’

TOM: ‘it pisses me off, actually. i'm so protective over my children. that would be so sad for aegon. he loves them so much.’

Can’t stop thinking about Reghabi saying Gemma was alive “the last time I saw her.”

She saw her? Saw her how? Did she just see her Lumon colleagues carting Gemma inside the building? Did she somehow participate in Gemma’s torture, or is that just a Dr. Mauer thing? And, since we know she’s a Severance surgeon… was she the one who put the chip in Gemma’s brain?

Either way, her severing Mark has been wildly recontextualized. Imagine being Reghabi and knowing there’s a woman down there, trapped in your company basement, being experimented on in the worst way possible. Imagine having fought off deep reservations for years about what you do, every day a moral debate, feeling yourself edging closer and closer to a dangerous tipping point. Quitting a job that you know won’t take “no” for an answer.

And now imagine a guy walks in. Hearing his name is Mark — Mark Scout. Reading his file and learning that he’s only getting his brain split in half to cope with the overwhelming pain of his wife’s death through microdosing suicide. Grief got to him. Apparently, he’s “choking on her ghost.” Can you imagine?

Except… you can.

And now you’re drilling a hole in the back of his skull knowing dang well the woman he loves — who he thinks died between flames, crushed against a tree — is only a couple basement floors beneath his feet. And maybe, you helped put her there.

Or what if it was the reverse? What if Reghabi severed Mark and found out later that his so-called “dead wife” was alive and suffering all along? A suspicious paging through forbidden files, a passing mention of her name in the hall. The sickening slap of dots connecting and a sudden, horrible sinking realization of what she’s done.

Did she blame herself? Should she have blamed herself? Whose thoughts were she really appeasing when she responded to Mark’s “Are they hurting her?” with that curt, quiet “I don’t know”?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Gemma and Mark’s situation was the last straw that pushed Reghabi over the edge and convinced her to betray Lumon. Because if that didn’t cut it… then good Lord, what did?

[dudesrysly]

So I have this theory…

What if the car crash isn’t just another emergency for the 118? What if this is just another parallel now that we’re getting a lot of them? Remember 2X17?

What if in 8X08 Sob Stories, Buck is injured in a car crash and the 118 is responding to the call? What if Eddie sees Buck lying on the ground and can’t help but think about Shannon and how he lost her like this? And what if this is how he find out that he has feelings for Buck?

Okay, we have overlords of mass media: Alastor for radio, Vox for television and Velvette for social media.

BUT

You know who is missing here?

There is that one mass media that is still a massive thing, but people often forget about it's existence.

And it is newspaper.

I might get into a history of newspaper, thou I'm not gonna pretend I'm an expert. Just, newspaper at it's most primarily version is a very old thing.

So old that if there was an overlord of newspaper, they might be the oldest overlord in Hell.

*Cough cough* Zestial *cough cough*

Silently pulling all the strings from the shadows, like a spider weaving its web.

Giving informations radio, television and social media will take as true and publish them as their own.

Yeah, if we had an overlord like this they would be hella powerful.

And it would be a bit funny if they had a hat giving journalist vibes.

Tabitha: Keeps making her husbands bracelets which they lose/don't wear.

Jade: Coincidentally (not coincidentally), is a bracelet guy.

His bracelets look different than the ones Tabitha has been making, but they're similar. And somebody in the production has been keeping track of these bracelets as part of Jade's wardrobe for 3 seasons.

If they were meaningless, they could've gotten rid of them along with the rest of his entire wardrobe.

I think we'll find out these are important to Jade. I wonder if he made them, because he felt compelled to wear one the same way Tabitha felt compelled to make them.
